CROSS-REGISTRATION
Guidelines
The purpose of Cross-Registration is to provide
opportunities for enriched educational progranis
by permitting students at any of the ten PittsburghCouncil on Higher Education (PCHE) Institutionsto take courses at any other PCHE institutionMember institutions of PCHE are
Carlow University
Carnegie Mellon University
Chatham College
Community College of Allegheny County
Duquesne University
LaRoche College
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
Point Park University
Robert Moiris University
University of Pittsburgh
The oppoitunity to Cross-Register is open to
each full-time student enrolled in a PCHE collegeoi university
Each college or univetsity accepts iegistration
from the other institutions, however, first priority in
registration is given to students of the host college,
and not all departments or schools in all institutions
are able to participate in this program
In each case of student cross-iegistration, the
approval of the dean or designated individual
from the home college or university must be
obtained prior to registration
The student's advisor or dean is responsible for
assuring the student's eligibility for the course in
which s/he intends to enioll
Full credit and grades will be transferred,the academic regulations of the host institution
will prevail
The academic honesty code and other rules
of conduct of the institution providing the
instruction apply with respect to its courses and
behavior on its campus That institution also
determines whether its rules have or have not
been violated The student's own institution will
impose such penalties as it considers proper when
violations are reported to it
Cross registrants do not thereby acquire the
status of students in the institutions in which they
are receiving instruction (e g , for purposes of
participation in student activities, insurance
prograrns etc ) They do receive library privileges
at the host institution and may purchase course
texts at the host bookstore
Each qualified student normally may enroll in
no more than one course off campus in any one
term or semester under this prograiri
Duquesne University students who are
participating in this program are charged WItIOD
and university fees in accordance with the current
rates of Duquesne University, however students
are responsible for paying any additional course
or laboratory fees to the host institution
This cross registration program does not apply
to the Summer Sessions at any of the institutions
including the Spring Term at the University of
Pittsburgh However, taking courses at other
institutions during those terms is facilitated by
"temporary transfer student" procedures
separately agreed to by the PCHE colleges
and universities
Students are encouraged to submit cross
registration forms during preregistration in order
to provide adequate time to receive proper
notification of the approval or disapproval
Procedures
A Cross-Registration form is obtained either
from an Advisor or the Registiai's Office The
student then completes the form by indicating
which course(s) s/he wishes to enroll in at the
host institution Copies of the class schedules of
all PCHE institutions are maintained in the
Regi sti ar's Office
The completed Cross- Registration form must
be submitted to the student's advisor for approval
All copies of the form are to be delivered to the
Registrar's Office IThe Registrar of the host institution will notify
applicants whether or not the cross-registration
has been accepted

responsibility to inake the school's policy known
at the first class session as it pertains to the
course and school
The student who is unable to attend class
because of serious illness, hospitalization, a
serious accident or other extenuating circum-
stance is responsible for notifying the office of
the appropriate school advisor The student
should supply any required written verifications
as soon as possible
The student must submit work assigned and
take the examination in the course at the specified
time If work is not submitted or an examination
is not taken at the scheduled time, the policy is to
assign a zero for that part of the course An
accumulation of zero grades could result in a final
grade of F If a student has for significant reasons
missed a part of the course or an examination, the
grade may be submitted as an I If the temporary I
grade is to be replaced by a passing grade, the
work inust be completed by the time stated in theAcademic Calendar (published in the Schedule ofClasses Booklet) Failure on the part of the

specified in the Academic Calendar, the I
becomes a permanent F grade )
LG Late Grade (Used to indicate that gra e
was not reported by faculty in time to the
semester grade report to be sent to student

Pass [Not Pass graded course ) Is indepen-
dent of the Quality Point System Course

whether or not plus and minus grade values will be
used in grading course work and rating academic
performance of the students in their class
A class inaugurated in plus/ininus grading may not
revert to non plus/minus grading, and vice versa
(The grading system for graduate students
is published in the catalog of the particular
graduate school )
COMPUTATION OF THE QUALITY
POINT AVERAGE
Quality Point Average is the ratio expressed to the
decimal thousands of the sum of A, A-, B+, B, 13-, C+,
C, D, and F were received to the surn of quality
points carried The Quality Point value of these
grades are
Grade Quality Points Per Credit
A =4 0
A- —3 7
13^ =3 3
B —30
13- =2 7
C+ =2 3
C —20D =1 0F =0 0Grades H, P, N, 1, and W are independent of the
Quality Point System Courses credits graded F, N,1, and W do Dot earn credit, and if required
for graduation, must be repeated and passed
REPEATING COURSES AND COURSE
RETROGRADATION
Students ordinarily are permitted to repeat courses
in which D, and F grades were received The
request for permission to repeat a course is to be
submitted in letter form to the academic advisor
An authori zed request to repeat a course form must
be obtained from the advisor before registering in
the repeat course All grades are retained on the
permanent academic record The result of the
final attempt in a repeated course is, however, the
student's status in the course with regard to
attempted credits, earned credits, and the
completion of requirements
Retrogradation, a corollary of the repeat credit
rule under which a student may earn credit once
only for a course, prescribes that a ,indent May not
move backward from an advanced course to a lower
level course and receive credit for both Any
doubtful situation must be decided by the
department chairperson or dean involved
PASS/NO PASS ELEC`1[IVES
One course a semester elected by a junior or
,,enter and approved by the academic advisor as
providing an opportunity to expand and emich
the student's experience, may be taken on a pass/
no pass (P-N) basis If passed, the credits will
count for graduation, but neither grade nor
credits will be calculated in the quality
point average
Once a course has been identified as a pass/no
pass elective, the course must be completed as
such, and the grade submitted must be a P or an N
No required course may be taken on this elective
pass/no pass basis
The decision to elect the pass/no pass option
must be made no later than the close of the period
provided for making schedule changes An
authorized pass/no pass election declaration
form must be obtained from the advisor

WITHDRAWALAND TERMINATION OF
ATTENDANCEUpon officially withdrawing from the University,
a student receives remission of part of the tuition
charged for the semester or session in accordance
with the Tuition Remission Schedule The
amount of the remission is added to payments,
and a refund is made upon request where a credit
balance is created on the student's total account
The Effective Date of Withdrawal for deter-
mining the percent of remission is that on which
the appropriate Academic Dean was notified by
letter of the student's decision to terminate
attendance and requested official withdrawal It
is also the recorded date of the student's separa-
tion from the University and regarded as the last
day of attendance A student is considered
enrolled and "In attendance" until he or she acts
to terminate attendance in conformity with this
policy even though absences from classes were
observed and recorded before the Effective Date
of Withdrawal
When a student's attendance is involuntarily
terminated in a semester because of personal
disability arising from injury or illness, any
remission of tuition beyond the limits prescribed
by the withdrawal refund policy is subject first to
the approval of the Academic Dean, then the
Provost, and finally, the Executive Vice President
for Management and Business

Return of Title IV Funds Policy
The Financial Aid Office is required by federal
statute to recalculate federal financial aid
eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out,
are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to
completing 60% of a payment period or term The
federal Title IV financial aid programs must be
recalculated in these Situations
If a student leaves the institution prior to
completing 60% of a payment period or term, the
financial aid office recalculates eligibility for
Title IV funds Recalculation is based on the
percentage of earned aid using the following
Federal Return of Title IV funds formula
Percentage of payment period or term
completed = the number of days completed up to
the withdrawal date divided by the total days in
the payment period or term (Any break of five
days or more is not counted as part of the days in
the term ) This percentage is also the percentage
of earned aid
Funds are returned to the appropriate federal
program based on the percentage of unearned aid
using the following formula Aid to be returned
(100% of the aid that could be disbursed minus
the percentage of earned aid) multiplied by the
total amount of aid that could have been
disbursed during the payment period or term
If a student earned less aid than was disbursed,
the institution would be required to return a
portion of the funds and the student would be
required to return a portion of the funds Keep
in mind that when Title IV funds are returned,
the student borrower may owe a debit balance to
the institution
If a student earned more aid than was disbursed
to him/her, the institution would owe the student
a post-withdrawal disbursement which must be
paid within 120 days
of the student's withdrawal
The institution inust return the amount of the
Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later
than 45 days after the date of the determination of
the date of the student's withdrawal

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY
Chairpetson
Daniel Buiston, Ph D
The Duquesne University Psychology Department
is tenowned throughout the world for its
scholarship in the area of human science
psychology What does it mean to conceive and
practice psychology as a'human science" This
approach includes a variety of interpretative
perspectives sharing common roots and similar
understandings about what it is to be human
These perspectives guide the goals and methods of
research and practice Traditionally, the ndtmdl
sciences have relied on quantitative, experimental
research methods to achieve their goal of
prediction and control Human wience
psychologists have long held that while this
appi oach may be appropi iate when applied to
physical objects (such as those studied by physicsand chemistry), it is often inappiopiiate when
applied to human phenomena Such as histoiy,
culture, art and much of psychology The
psychological study of human beings often
requires distinctive methodologies which seek to
uncleistand people (iather than controlling them)
and which enable the sharing of this understanding
in the service of health and well-being Following
from this perspective, human science psychology
emphasizes qualitative iesearch that exploies
questions regarding meaning values, experience,
and culture Similarly in the field of clinical
psychology, human science psychologists
incorporate this perspective and its research
findings into the piactice of psychotherapy
Duquesne's emphasis on psychology as a
human science means that coursework fosters
critical and creative thinking about the nature of
psychological phenomena and about the presumed
facts discoveted in research and practice Students
are encom aged to consider the assumptions about
human beings that underlie various therapeutic
and research approaches theories, and practices,
and to discover the relevance of psychology in
then own experience and daily life The
scholarship of our Psychology faculty is highlyesteemed throughout the United States and around
the world As in other disciplines at Duquesne,
undergraduates have the considerable advantage
being taught by these prestigious scholai s andbenefiting from their cutting-edge research The

The Chemistry program is designed to provide
the student with a fundamental backgiound in
chemistry and an understanding of the relationship
of chemistry to other sciences and disciplines
Elective courses and the opportunity to do
undergraduate research allow the chemistry major
to develop interests in a specialized area of
chemistry, such as analytical, inorganic, physical
chemistry, and biochemistry
Because of the fundamental nature of chemistry
as a science, numerous opportunities f6i advanced
study as well as employment, are open to
chernistry and biochemistry majors A large
percentage of students elect to continue their study
in giaduate programs in chemistry and related
fields Chemists and biochemists piovide a core

Research is the essence of science, and
therefore, attaining both breadth and excellence
in research, as demonstrated by a high quality
thesis, is the goal of an "Honors" Student
The Department has recently established a
research based Honors program to encourage
undergraduate scholarship Honors students
are expected to perform extensive high quality
laboratory based research and will be held to a
rigorous standard of excellence Twojuniorand
two senior students from the Honors program will
be selected each year to receive the John V Crable

Human influence on the environment promises
to be one of the most pressing problems of the
2 1 st century Because assertions based on a
lack of empirical evidence frequently occupy
center stage in environmental debates, sound
science is needed for environmental decision-
making Duquesne University has responded
to this need with the Bachelor of Science in
Environmental Science
The B S in Enviioninental Science provides a
broad environmental background Careei choices
include positions in the piivate, public and non-
profit sectors Graduates would be prepared to
work in such aicas as environmental consulting,
laboratory oi field research, geology, compliance,
and environmental education
Students also have the opportunity to enroll in
a dual B S /M S program and receive the Master
of Science in Environmental Science and
Management at Duquesne Graduates of the M S
program would also gain background in environ-
mental inariageirient systems, public policy, and
law The M S provides for such careers as
enviioninental policyrnaking, pollution preven-
tion, or risk assessment, in addition to the
positions listed above
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR
It is our belief that students should receive
individual attention dw ing their entire under-
graduate career Each student plans a course of
study in close cooperation with a faculty advisor,
and the student's progress is closely coordinated
with developing interests Undeigraduates are
strongly encouiaged to pursue independent
research as an essential part of their educational
program Research permits students to develop
an even closer relationship with a faculty rescaich
duector, who then serves as a mentoi during
(,areet planning

HISTORY
The A J Palumbo School of Business
Administration was established in 19 13 as the
School of Accounts and Finance In 1931, the
name was changed to the School of Business
Administration to reflect the expansion of its
course offerings and its growing professional
stature in the education community By 1961, the
School had earned accieditation by the premier
business school accrediting agency, AACSB,
joining the less than 30 percent of business
schools nationwide who have achieved this
distinction During the next several decades, new
degree programs were added to enhance the scope
of the curriculum and help prepare students for
careers in all types of organizations
Following a generous endowment in October
of 1991 by Antonio J Palumbo, an accomplished
business professional, the School adopted its
current name, the A J Palumbo School of
Business Administration
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The mission of the A J Palumbo School of
Business Administration is to prepare our students
to achieve their full potential as ethical business
professionals and community leaders with an
understanding of the global context of business
and its social impact We accomplish this through
passionate education, creative scholarship and the
engagement of partners throughout the
community The Business School creates a
learning environment that enables our
undergraduate students to
0 Develop cross-ftinctional core business
competencies,
0 Develop an ethical and moral perspective on
organizational behavior,
5 Becorne better decision-makers through
critical thinking, problem solving, and
effective communication,
L3 Acquire a knowledge and appreciation of
multi-cultural business environments, and
16 Become life-long learners through
intellectual discovery and professional and
personal development
We add value for the greater good of our
stakeholders by creating an environment of
support for the intellectual pursuits of our faculty,
a commitment to excellence in teaching,
community outreach, and service
Driven by its Mission, the School of Business
Administration has established the following key
guiding principles
• Appreciating that business education must
be dynamic, continuously upgrade the
curriculum to meet the rapidly changing
needs of the students and the workplace
• Continue our commitment to outstanding
faculty performance, both in developing
business knowledge (research) and in
delivering that knowledge (teaching)
• Ensure the maximum use of technology by
heavily integrating infon-nation technology
into all Course content and delivery, while
providing state-of-the-art facilities equipped
with the most sophisticated software
M Espouse ethics as a winning characteristic of
organizations that are successful over the
long-term and promote a commitment to
high standards and values among the
Duquesne community
• Recognizing that the business environment
is unmistakably global, cultivate expanded
opportunities for international study in
distinguished foreign universities
• Strongly encourage students to study
abroad in order to develop a more
global perspective
• Continuously evolve a Mission Statement
for our school that optimally guides our
commitments to our various customer
groups — students, parents, employers,
benefactors, alumni and the community
The unending search for new and better ways to
serve our students is a hallmark of the culture of
our School of Business Whether it is revising a
program, renovating a facility, expanding the
integration of technology, oi creating a stronger
international focus, the goal is continuous
improverrient and contemporary relevance
The leaders of the 2 1 st century must understand
the complex global issues facing modern
organizations and be pioficient in the use and
interpretation of data generated by the most up-to-

groups, and communities Faculty tacilitate the
education of student,, in the art and science of
nursing to provide ethical, hol istic, cultui ally
competent and population-based

SCHOOL OF NURSING PHILOSOPHY
The taculty ot the School of Nursing believe that
nursing is a human science piofession and an
academic discipline that focuses on the diagnosis
and treatment of human responses to actual or
potential health problems We believe the patient,
conceptualized as an individual client, family,
gioup or community, is the focus ot the profes-
sional nui se We believe each individual is unique
and holds values and beliefs reflective of his/her
cultuie, spiritual, and life experiences
The faculty believe that there are core conipeten-
cies that enable a nurse to piovide "sale passage"
toi patients The coic competencies are the basis of
the nurse s ability to provide design, manage and
coordinate caring practices These core competen-
cies are clinical judgment, advocacy caiing
practices, systems thinking, iesponse to diversity,
facilitation of learning in patients and staff, clinical
inquiry, and collaboiation

being strong role models through their own
commitment to excellence as teachers, scholars and

ences will be offered locally and globally
SCHOOL OF NURSING CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
The Curriculum flows logically from the

the American Association ot Critical Care Nui ses
The Synergy Model suggests that patient
outc omes are enhanced when the nurses'
competencies are compatible with the characteris-
tics or needs of the patient When applied in the
educational system the center ot attention for the
model is the students and their learning In the
academic environment developmental needs of
the students are advanced when taculty compe-
tencies are aligned with the learning needs ot
nursing students The competencies of the nurse
identified in the model are those the taculty
envisions as essential to the Success of the nurses
interventions Underlying all of the nurses'
competencies is the unique contribution of nurses
to provide ' sate passage" tor patients and their
families through the health cai e envii onment
According to Curly (1998) these competencies
are
I Clinical judgment — clinical reasoning that
underpins decision-making in clinical
practice, includes the assessment of given
patient care situations, and nursing skill
2 Advocacy and AnAn al agency — representing
the interests ot the "othei" and identifying
and working to manage oi explain ethical and

activities that the iesponsive to the uniqueness
of the patient, family group and community
and create therapeutic environment Caiing
piactices include vigilance, engagement and
responsiveness
4 Facilitation of leaining — ability to use self to
maximize patients' learning
5 Collaboi ation — working with othet s to
promote and encourage each person's
contribution to achieving optimal goals
for the patient This includes intra and
interdisciplinary woik
6 Systems thinking — appreciating the care
environment and the interrelationships within
and across health care systems
7 Response to diversity — sensitive to recognize,
appreciate and incorporate differences
between and among people along multiple
dimensions in the provision of cate
8 Clinical inquiiy — process of questioning and
evaluating practice, assessing evidence base
of plactice and innovating through research
and leai in ng

Financial Implications of Student Classificationand Academic LoadStudents who are interested in financial and/oischolarship assistance, through the various Sourcesoffered at the University and elsewhere, should beaware that most financial aid and scholarshipopportunities and athletic eligibility requirementsiequire students to carry and earn specific creditloads and Q PA 's It is the student's responsibilityto investigate these requirements and work withhis or her dcadernic advisor to meet them Inparticular, students should carefully investigatehow their credit loads each semester, eachacademic year, and overall, will affect financialaid and athletic eligibility, not only for the currentyear but also subsequent years Students shouldconsult the Office of Financial Aid for furtherinformation regarding their personal financialsituation and the appropriate ciedit level for theirfinancial needs
The University makes the following distinctionsin regard to undergraduate student classificationfor financial aid - all based on credit level
Freshman 0-29 credits completedSophomore 30-59 credits completedJunior 60-89 credits completedSenior 90 or more credits corripleted
The RSHS, however, classifies students by classlevel (e g , as a second-year student), rather thancredit level In regard to financial eligibility, it iscommon for transfer and second degree students tofinancially be considered by the University underone classification (e g , as a junior), but academi-cally considered by the RSHS under anotherclassification (e g , as a second-year student withina RSHS program) For example, if a student has64 credits completed upon matriculation to theRSHS, but has all his/her science courses left tocomplete, he/she may have been admitted into thesecond year of the program rather than the junioryear his/her credit level might indicate Students
should carefully investigate any financialimplications involved in such a situation
Summer Course WorkStudents should be aware that while aid may beavailable for surnmer course work, use ofaidduring the surturner may simply reduce aid thatwould normally be available during the fall andspring semesters Students should caiefullyinvestigate any financial implications resultingfrom required or elected summer course work
Internal Transfer, Transfer andSecond Degree StudentsAll transfer and second degree candidates shouldcarefully investigate the financial implicationsinvolved with matriculating into the RSHS Ifstudents have a degree, typically they do notqualify for standard undergraduate financial aid
Graduate StudentsStudents enrolled in any of the five-year, entry-level master's degree oi the six year Doctor ofPhysical Therapy programs should be aware that,for firlancial reasons, the RSHS considers studentsto be graduate students upon completion of thespring semester of their fourth year Students arestrongly advised to consult with the Office ofFinancial Aid regarding their eligibility for aidas graduate students, particularly in light of thehigh credit loads and summer course workinvolved in the final one or two years of theprofessional phase

Training is a health care discipline that includes the
practice of sports medicine In 199 1, the profession
of athletic training was recognized as an allied health
profession by the American Medical Association
(AMA), however, athletic trainers have provided
health care for athletes and other physically active
individuals for more than 50 years Thescopeof
practice of a Certified Athletic Trainet includes six
areas of clinical practice prevention, evaluation,

a variety of impairments, functional limitations
and disabilities They work with patients during
all phases of health care, from prevention and
wellness to recovery from injury, illness and
surgery Physical therapists select and administer
tests and measures, analyze their findings, and
design and implement individualized treatment
programs to enhance their patients' health,
physical and functional ability, and quality of life
In addition to providing direct patient care,
physical therapists work as administrators,
researchers, educators, and consultants

Speech and language disorders affect the way
people produce and understand speech These
disorders may range from simple sound
substitutions to not being able to use speech and
language at all
Speech-language pathologists are specialists
in human communication, its development, and
its disoiders They are professionally educated
to evaluate and treat persons with communication
problerns
To practice the profession of speech-language
pathology, a master's degree or a doctoral degree
is required Professionals must also hold a
Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from
the American Speech- Language-Hearing Associa-
tion, and in many states, must obtain a state
license to practice
Speech-language pathologists provide many
Specialized pi ofessional services which include
stimulating language and communication in
children who have developmental disabilities,
helping people with articulation disorders learn
proper production of speech sounds, assisting
people with voice disorders to develop proper
control of their vocal mechanism, assisting people
who stutter to increase their fluency, and to cope
with this disorder, assisting people with aphasia to
re-learn language and speech skills or compensate
for their impairment, helping people with hearing
Impairments maximize their communication
skills through signing, lip reading, or acoustic
management, counseling people with speech
and language disorders and their families to
understand their disorder and to achieve optimal
communication in education, social and
vocational settings, and, helping prevent
communication disorders
