SAT-I and SAT-II
See Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT-I and SAT-II) .
Schedule Change
After late registration, a student may add or drop a course on ISIS during the schedule change period. To add a course after the schedule change period requires special approval of the instructor and department chairperson of the course as well as the completion of a Change of Schedule form. To drop a course after the schedule change period but before the deadline to withdraw, students may go to the Request Withdrawal from Courses screen in ISIS and request to withdraw from a course on-line.
Advisors should refer students to the Academic Calendar for schedule change dates.
Schedule of Courses
The online Schedule of Courses is created each term by the division of Enrollment Services. In addition to the course schedule, information regarding registration, schedule change, deadlines for refunds and withdrawals, and final exam dates and times can be located on the CSU website.
The most up-to-date schedule of courses can be found on the Class Schedules page of the Columbus State University website.
Scholarships
See See Financial Aid .
Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT-I and SAT-II)
The SAT-I (verbal and math) and the SAT-II (subject tests recommended for entering students with CPC deficiencies) are given several times a year on campus, across the United States and around the world. Information on testing dates and application materials may be obtained from the Testing Center, Turner Center 207 (706-568-2226). Applicants who have not graduated from a regionally accredited or approved high school will be given the opportunity to satisfy the CPC by taking eight SAT II subject tests and obtaining the required scores as follows:
- English Writing with a minimum score of 520; and
- English Literature with a minimum score of 530; and
- Math Level IC with a minimum score of 500; and
- Math Level IIC with a minimal score of 570; and
- American History and Social Studies with a minimum score of 560; and
- World History with a minimum score of 540; and
- One foreign language test (minimum score yet to be determined); and
- Biology with a minimum score of 520; and
- Chemistry with a minimum score of 540; or
- Physics with a minimum score of 590.
Science Requirement
Students will choose Option I or Option II, depending on their major:
Option I--Non-Science Majors
- A four-hour laboratory science or a three or three-hour non-laboratory science course, and
- A four-hour laboratory science course.
- Three additional credit hours in mathematics, science, or technology.
- Two four-hour laboratory science courses.
- Three additional credit hours in mathematics, science, or technology.
- B.A., B.S. Biology
- B.A., B.S. Chemistry
- B.S. Geology
- B.S. Computer Science
- B.S. Computer Science--Applied
- B.A., B.S. Mathematics
- B.S. Applied Mathematics
- ANTH 1145 Human Origins (no lab)
- ASTR 1105/1305 Descriptive Astronomy (lab optional)
- BIOL 1215 Principles of Biology
- BIOL 1125 Contemporary Issues in Biology (no lab)
- BIOL 1225 Contemporary Issues in Biology (lab included)
- CHEM 1151/1151L Survey of Chemistry 1
- CHEM 1152/1152L Survey of Chemistry 2
- CHEM 1211/1211L Principles of Chemistry 1

- PHYS 1112/1312 Introductory Physics 2
- PHYS 1125/1325 Physics of Color and Sound (lab optional)
*Non science majors only.
Although neither option requires that the science courses form a sequence, students may elect to take a sequence. The second part of a sequence (indicated by 2) requires the first part (indicated by 1) as a prerequisite.
The number of hours of seminars a student takes in Area B is affected by the number of science labs taken in Area D. If a student takes two laboratory science courses (totaling 8 credit hours), the student will take only one seminar in Area B. If the student takes one laboratory science course and one non-laboratory science course (totaling 7 credit hours), the student will take two seminars in Area B.
Two programs require specific science courses in Area D:
- Health Science Major
- Principles of Biology BIOL 1215
- Contemporary Issues in Biology (with lab) BIOL 1225
- Nursing Major
- Survey of Chemistry 1 CHEM 1151
- Survey of Chemistry 1 Lab CHEM 1151L
- Survey of Chemistry 2 CHEM1152
- Survey of Chemistry 2 Lab CHEM 1152L
Seminars
Students are required to take either one or two one-hour seminars listed in Area B of the core curriculum, depending on the number of lab science courses taken in Area D. Students with 2 lab science courses take one seminar in Area B. (Science majors are required to take 2 lab science courses in Area D.) Students with 1 lab science course and 1 non-lab science course in Area D take two seminars in Area B.
Sequences and Conversion from Quarters to Semesters
This section should be consulted under either of two circumstances:
- a student fails to complete a sequence of courses required by a major before the conversion to semesters, or
- a student transfers from an institution on the quarter system to Columbus State University before completing a sequence of courses.
In the diagrams below, the arrows indicate typical distribution of course content from quarter system courses to semester system courses. Chemistry and calculus sequences are shown below as examples.
If sequence problems arise for these and other courses, consult with the department offering the courses as to which course the student should take next.
Chemistry
The illustration below shows the conversion of CHE 121, CHE 122, and CHE 123 (General Chemistry) on the quarter system to the equivalent two courses CHEM 1211 and CHEM 1212 (Principles of Chemistry) on the semester system:
| CHE 121 | CHE 122 | CHE 123 |
| CHEM 1211 | CHEM 1212 |
| Take on Quarter System | Next Course on Semester System |
| CHE 121 | CHEM 1211 |
| CHE 121 and CHE 122 | CHEM 1212 |
This illustration assumes that a student needs to complete a year of chemistry (3 courses on quarters or 2 courses on semesters).
Calculus
The illustration below shows the conversion of MAT 131, MAT 132, MAT 133, and MAT 235 to the equivalent three courses of calculus (MATH 1131, MATH 1132, and MATH 2135) on the semester system:
| MAT 131 | MAT 132 | MAT 133 | MAT 235 |
| MATH 1131 | MATH 1132 | MATH 2135 |
| Take on Quarter System | Next Course on Semester System |
| MAT 131 | MATH 1131 |
| MAT 131 and MAT 132 | MATH 1132 |
| MAT 131, MAT 132, and MAT 133 | MATH 2135 |
Servant Leadership Program

The Servant Leadership Program at CSU is designed to build a community of future servant leaders through study, experiential learning, self-awareness, modeling, and mentoring.
Each year, a limited number of full-time entering freshmen are selected to receive stipends. These students take a one-semester-hour seminar during each semester of their college career. Additionally, they participate in community service, mentoring, and other leadership development experiences.
To be eligible for a stipend, students must meet the following criteria:
- Leadership positions in school and/or community, showing evidence of successful completion of responsibilities.
- Ability to succeed academically to be judged by recommendations, essay, GPA (minimum of 3.0), and SAT scores.
- Service to the community through volunteer organizations, church, or synagogue.
- Extracurricular activities: Active involvement and successful completion of activities through clubs, scouting, youth programs, or student activities.
- Development of self and others. Commitment to be judged through essay and interview.

Student Medical Withdrawal
A student may be administratively withdrawn from the university when, in the judgment of the Dean of Students, and after consultation with appropriate university officials, such as the Director of Student Health Services and/or the Director of the Counseling Center, it is determined that the student suffers from a physical, mental, emotional, or psychological health condition which poses a significant danger or threat to the student, the university, or the rights of others in the university community.
