News   Readmission Processing - Effective November 1, 2004, the processing of readmission applications is being handled again in the Registrar's Office rather than Admissions.   Last Day to Drop or Withdraw Changed - Effective Fall 2004, the last day to drop or withdraw will be the last day of classes for the semester. This change will allow students sufficient time to determine whether they can successfully complete a course.   Deadline for "I" and "X" Grades - Effective Fall 2004, the deadline for faculty reports on incomplete grades ("I" or "X" grades) will be the same for both undergraduate and graduate students. This deadline is published in the University Calendar that is found in the Schedule of Classes and the Undergraduate and Graduate Bulletin.   AP Credit Changes - Effective Spring 2005, advanced placement (AP) credit will be awarded only in English 101 for those students who score 4 or higher on the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination. This is a change from the current policy which provided for the awarding of 6 credits for both EH 101 and 102 with a score of 3 or higher.   Online Math Placement Exam - Effective Fall 2004, students must take the online Math Placement Exam to determine their eligibility for a particular math course. (ACT or SAT scores will no longer be used for placement.) The two-hour timed exam can be found at www.southalabama.edu/mathplacement. Students should be encouraged to take this exam at the earliest possible time (at least 48 hours) prior to registration to allow time for the scores to be added to the Banner student record system.   International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit - Effective Summer 2004, credit for approved USA courses will be granted to students with a score of five (5) or higher on IB program exams. Individual academic disciplines may require a higher score in a particular course.
