About this Catalog
Changes in Rules and Policies
Although every effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the information in this catalog, students and others who use this catalog should note that laws, rules, and policies change from time to time and that these changes may alter the information contained in this publication. Changes may come in the form of statutes enacted by the Legislature, rules and policies adopted by the Board of Trustees of the California State University, by the chancellor or designee of the California State University, or by the president or designee of the campus. It is not possible in a publication of this size to include all of the rules, policies, and other information that pertain to students, the institution, and the California State University. More current or complete information may be obtained from the appropriate department, college, or administrative office.
Nothing in this catalog shall be construed as, operate as or have the effect of an abridgment or a limitation of any rights, powers, or privileges of the Board of Trustees of the California State University, the Chancellor of the California State University, or the President of the campus. The Trustees, the Chancellor, and the President are authorized by law to adopt, amend, or repeal rules and policies that apply to students. This catalog does not constitute a contract or the terms and conditions of a contract between the student and the campus or the California State University. The relationship of students to the campus and the California State University is one governed by statute, rules, and policy adopted by the Legislature, the Trustees, the Chancellor, the Presidents and their duly authorized designees.
Faculty Statement of Course Requirements
Because students and their instructors share a common goal of a semester of learning in the best possible environment, students shall receive in writing, in the first or second meeting of a class:
- a statement of scope, content, and expected learning outcomes of the course;
- a list of texts and materials to be used throughout the course, including any additional fees or costs;
- a description of grading policy and practices;
- a description of teaching style (for example, fixed outline, lecture, discussion, class-directed, or evolutionary);
- a description of any substantive departure from the content published in the university Bulletin or Class Schedule.
Should budgetary demands require it, one posted document will suffice. During the semester, students shall be notified in writing of any substantive changes in the faculty statement of course requirements.
Student Concerns or Complaints about Actions Taken on Behalf of San Francisco State University
Students who have concerns or complaints about their relationships with the university; its policies, practices, and procedures; or its faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to follow the informal concerns and complaints process as outlined at www.sfsu.edu/~vpsa/complaints/.
If after following the informal process, the concern or complaint remains unresolved, students may pursue a formal complaint. For questions about the process, contact Eugene R. Chelberg , Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Enrollment Management, SSB 403, (415) 338-2916 or email@example.com.
Off Campus Grievance Procedure for Students
The California State University takes very seriously complaints and concerns regarding the institution. If you have a complaint regarding the CSU, you may present your complaint as follows:
- If your complaint concerns CSU's compliance with academic program quality and accrediting standards, you may present your complaint to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) at http://www.wascsenior.org/comments. WASC is the agency that accredits the CSU's academic program.
- If your complaint concerns an alleged violation by CSU of a state law, including laws prohibiting fraud and false advertising, you may present your claim to the campus president or designee to Eugene R. Chelberg, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Enrollment Management, (415) 338-2916 or email@example.com. The president or designee will provide guidance on the appropriate campus process for addressing your particular issue.
If you believe that your complaint warrants further attention after you have exhausted all the steps outlined by the president or designee, or by WASC, you may file an appeal with the Associate Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs at the CSU Chancellor's Office. This procedure should not be construed to limit any right that you may have to take civil or criminal legal action to resolve your complaint.
Opportunities for Prospective Teachers
Information concerning teacher preparation programs at San Francisco State University, including the pass rate on teacher certification examinations, may be obtained from the Credential and Graduate Services Center in the College of Education, Burk Hall 244.
Opportunities for Athletes
Information concerning athletic opportunities available to male and female students and the financial resources and personnel that SF State dedicates to its men's and women's teams may be obtained from Dr. Michael Simpson, director, Athletics Program, GYM 202, (415) 338-2218.
Student Success and Graduation Rates
Information regarding student retention and graduation rates at SF State and, if available, the number and percentages of students completing the program in which the student is enrolled or has expressed interest may be obtained from the director of university and budget planning, (415) 338-6191.
Privacy Rights of Students in Education Records
The federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S.C. 1232g) and regulations adopted thereunder (34 C.F.R. 99) set out requirements designed to protect students' privacy in their records maintained by the campus. The statute and regulations govern access to most records maintained by the campus, and the release of such records. The law provides that the campus must give students access to records directly related to the student, and must also provide opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records, if the student claims they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. The right to a hearing under this law does not include any right to challenge the appropriateness of a grade determined by the instructor. The law generally requires the institution to receive a student's written consent before releasing personally identifiable data about the student. The institution has adopted a set of policies and procedures governing implementation of the statutes and the regulations. Copies of these policies and procedures may be obtained on the web at www.sfsu.edu/~admisrec/reg/ferpa.html or in the Registrar's Office. Among the types of information included in the campus statement of policies and procedures are: (1) the types of student records maintained and the information they contain; (2) the official responsible for maintaining each type of record; (3) the location of access lists indicating persons requesting or receiving information from the record; (4) policies for reviewing and expunging records; (5) student access rights to their records; (6) the procedures for challenging the content of student records; (7) the cost to be charged for reproducing copies of records; and (8) the right of the student to file a complaint with the Department of Education. The Department of Education has established an office and review board to investigate complaints and adjudicate violations. The designated office is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-5920.
The campus is authorized under the Act to release "directory information" concerning students. San Francisco State University policy is more restrictive than the Federal and State Act and limits directory information to the student's name, current enrollment status (e.g., undergraduate or graduate, full-time or part-time), class level, major, degrees earned, semesters of enrollment, and extra-curricular achievements. The above designated information is subject to release by the campus at any time unless the campus has received prior written objection from the student specifying what information the student requests not be released. Written objections should be sent to the registrar.
A student can request that non-directory information (including address) be released to agencies of the State of California when requested for employment recruitment purposes under the provisions of Assembly Bill 771 (Chacon). Written requests to release non-directory information should be directed to the registrar. Forms are available for this purpose at the One Stop Student Services Center.
The campus is authorized to provide access to student records to campus officials and employees who have legitimate educational interests in such access. These persons have responsibilities in the campus' academic, administrative, or service functions and have reason for accessing student records associated with their campus or other related academic responsibilities. Student records may also be disclosed to other persons or organizations under certain conditions (e.g., as part of accreditation or program evaluation; in response to a court order or subpoena; in connection with financial aid; and to other institutions to which the student is transferring).
In addition to those safeguards provided by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the university's policy allows the release of personally identifiable information to others (except to verify student status) only with the student's prior consent or in the case of extreme emergency or where there is clear and imminent danger to the student, to others, or to society.
Requirement and Use of Social Security Number
Applicants are required to include their correct social security numbers in designated places on applications for admission pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201 , Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6109). The university uses the social security number to identify students and their records including identification for purposes of financial aid eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the university to file information returns that include the student's social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses, and interest on educational loans. This information is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes. The SSN is also required by the Franchise Tax Board for collection of returned checks.
University Identification Number
For other records and services, the university uses an assigned University Identification Number (UIN). Students are required to write their UIN on university petitions and forms as well as personal checks submitted for any payment to the University. Payment by personal check is consent by the student for the University to write the student's UIN on the check if it is not referenced.
See the SF State UIN Policy on the web at http://www.sfsu.edu/~admisrec/reg/ferpa.html
Career Placement: Data on Former Students
The campus may furnish, upon request, information about the employment of students who graduate from programs or courses of study preparing students for a particular career field. Any such data provided must be in a form that does not allow for the identification of any individual student. This information includes data concerning the average starting salary and the percentage of previously enrolled students who obtained employment. The information may include data collected from either graduates of the campus or graduates of all campuses in the California State University.
Cost of Education
Average Support Cost per Full-Time Equivalent Student and Sources of Funds
The total support cost per full-time equivalent student (FTES) includes the expenditures for current operations, including payments made to students in the form of financial aid, and all fully reimbursed programs contained in state appropriations. The average support cost is determined by dividing the total cost by the number of FTES. The total CSU 2012/13 budget amounts were $2,010,652,000 from state General Fund (GF) appropriations (not including capital outlay funding) and before adding $51.4 million CalPERS retirement adjustment, $1,497,474,000 from tuition fee revenue after rollback to 2011/12 tuition fee rates and after tuition fee discounts (forgone revenue), and $386,604,000 from other fee revenues for a total of $3,894,730,000. The number of 2012/13 FTES is 331,716 resident target and 14,328 non-resident students for a total of 346,044 FTES. The GF appropriation is applicable to resident students only whereas fee revenues are collected from resident and nonresident students. FTES is determined by dividing the total academic student load by 15 units per term (the figure used here to define a full-time student's academic load).
The 2012/13 average support cost per FTES based on GF appropriation and net tuition fee revenue only is $10,389 and when including all sources as indicated below is $11,506, which includes all fee revenue in the CSU Operating Fund (e.g. tuition fees, application fees, and other campus mandatory fees). Of this amount, the average net tuition fee revenue per FTES is $6,061.
Average Cost
|Average Cost
per FTES
|Total Support Cost
|State Appropriation 1
|Net Tuition Fee Revenue 2
|Other Fees Revenue 2
- Represents state GF appropriation in the Budget Act of 2012/13; GF is divisible by resident students only (331,716 FTES).
- Represents CSU Operating Fund, Tuition Fee and other fees revenue amounts (net of tuition fee discounts) submitted in campus August 2012/13 final budgets (adjusted for rollback to 2011/12 tuition fee rates). Revenues are divisible by resident and nonresident students (346,044 FTES).
The average CSU 2012/13 academic year, resident, undergraduate student basic tuition fee and other mandatory fees required to apply to, enroll in, or attend the university after rollback to 2011/12 tuition fee rates is $6,602 ($5,472 2011/12 AY tuition fee plus 2012/13 $1,130 average campus-based fees). However, the costs paid by individual students will vary depending on campus, program, and whether a student is part-time, full-time, resident, or nonresident.
Availability of Institutional and Financial Assistance Information
The following information concerning student financial assistance may be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Aid, (415) 338-7000:
- a description of the federal, state, institutional, local, and private student financial assistance programs available to students who enroll at San Francisco State University;

- the responsibility of SF State for providing and collecting exit counseling information for all student borrowers under the federal student loan programs;
- The terms and conditions for deferral of loan payments for qualifying service under the Peace Corps Act, the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, or comparable volunteer community service;
Procedure for the Establishment or Abolishment of Campus-Based Mandatory Fees
The law governing the California State University provides that fees defined as mandatory, such as a student body association fee and a student body center fee, may be established. A student body association fee must be established upon a favorable vote of two-thirds of the students voting in an election held for this purpose (Education Code, Section 89300). The campus President may adjust the student body association fee only after the fee adjustment has been approved by a majority of students voting in a referendum established for that purpose. The required fee shall be subject to referendum at any time upon the presentation of a petition to the campus President containing the signatures of 10 percent of the regularly enrolled students at the University. Student body association fees support a variety of cultural and recreational programs, childcare centers, and special student support programs. A student body center fee may be established only after a fee referendum is held which approves by a two thirds favorable vote the establishment of the fee (Education Code, Section 89304). Once bonds are issued, authority to set and adjust student body center fees is governed by provisions of the State University Revenue Bond Act of 1947, including, but not limited to, Education Code sections 90012, 90027, and 90068.
The process to establish and adjust other campus-based mandatory fees requires consideration by the campus fee advisory committee and a student referendum. The campus president may use alternate consultation mechanisms if he/she determines that a referendum is not the best mechanism to achieve appropriate and meaningful consultation. Results of the referendum and the fee committee review are advisory to the campus president. The President may adjust campus-based mandatory fees, but must request the chancellor establish a new mandatory fee. The President shall provide to the fee advisory committee a report of all campus-based mandatory fees. The campus shall report annually to the Chancellor a complete inventory of all campus based-mandatory fees.
For more information or questions, please contact the Budget Office in the CSU Chancellor's Office at (562) 951-4560.
Determination of Residency for Tuition Purposes
University requirements for establishing residency for tuition purposes are independent from those of other types of residency, such as for tax purposes, or other state or institutional residency. These regulations were promulgated not to determine whether a student is a resident or nonresident of California, but rather to determine whether a student should pay tuition on an in-state or out-of-state basis. A resident for tuition purposes is someone who meets the requirements set forth in the Uniform Student Residency Requirements. These laws governing residency for tuition purposes at the California State University (CSU) are California Education Code sections 68000-68090, 68120-68134, and 89705-89707.5, and California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Subchapter 5, Article 4, sections 41900-41916. This material can be viewed on the Internet by accessing the CSU's website at www.calstate.edu/GC/resources.shtml.
The campus undergraduate and graduate admissions offices are responsible for determining the residency status of all new and returning students based on the Application for Admission, Residency Questionnaire, Reclassification Request Form, and, as necessary, other evidence furnished by the student. A student who fails to submit adequate information to establish eligibility for resident classification will be classified as a nonresident.
Generally, establishing California residency for tuition purposes requires a combination of physical presence and intent to remain indefinitely. An adult who, at least one full year prior to the residency determination date for the term in which enrollment is contemplated, can demonstrate both physical presence in the state combined with evidence of intent to remain in California indefinitely may establish California residency for tuition purposes. A minor normally derives residency from the parent(s) they reside with or most recently resided with.
Evidence demonstrating intent may vary from case to case but will include, and is not limited to, the absence of residential ties to any other state, California voter registration and voting in California elections, maintaining California vehicle registration and driver's license, maintaining active California bank accounts, filing California income tax returns and listing a California address on federal tax returns, owning residential property or occupying or renting an apartment where permanent belongings are kept, maintaining active memberships in California professional or social organizations, and maintaining a permanent military address and home of record in California.
Nonresident students seeking reclassification are required to complete a supplemental questionnaire that includes questions concerning their financial dependence on parents or others who do not meet University requirements for classification as residents for tuition purposes. Financial independence is required, along with physical presence and intent, to be eligible for reclassification.
Non-citizens establish residency in the same manner as citizens, unless precluded by the Immigration and Nationality Act from establishing domicile in the United States.
Exceptions to the general residency requirements are contained in California Education Code Sections 68070-68084 and California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Subchapter 5, Article 4, Sections 41906-41906.5, and include, but are not limited to, members of the military and their dependents, certain credentialed employees of school districts, and most students who have attended three years of high school in California and graduated or attained the equivalent. Whether an exception applies to a particular student cannot be determined before the submission of an application for admission and, as necessary, additional supporting documentation. Because neither campus nor Chancellor's Office staff may give advice on the application of these laws, applicants are strongly urged to review the material for themselves and consult with a legal advisor.
Residency determination dates are set each term. They are:
Residency Determination Dates
|Quarter Term Campuses
|Semester Term Campuses
CalState TEACH operates on a trimester system. The residency determination dates for CalState TEACH are as follows:
Residency Determination Dates for Stages of CalState TEACH
|September 20
|January 5
|June 1
Students classified as non-residents may appeal a final campus decision within 120 days of notification by the campus. A campus residency classification appeal must be in writing and submitted to:
The California State University
Office of General Counsel
401 Golden Shore, 4th Floor
Long Beach, CA 90802-4210
The Office of General Counsel can either decide the appeal or send the matter back to the campus for further review.
Students incorrectly classified as residents or incorrectly granted an exception from nonresident tuition are subject to reclassification as nonresidents and payment of nonresident tuition in arrears. If incorrect classification results from false or concealed facts, the student is also subject to discipline pursuant to Section 41301 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations.
Resident students who become nonresidents or who no longer meet the criteria for an exception must immediately notify the Admissions Office. Applications for a change in classification with respect to a previous term are not accepted.
Changes may have been made in the rate of nonresident tuition and in the statutes and regulations governing residency for tuition purposes in California between the time this information is published and the relevant residency determination date. Students are urged to review the statutes and regulations stated above.
Immigration Requirements for Licensure
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193), also known as the Welfare Reform Act, includes provisions to eliminate eligibility for federal and state public benefits for certain categories of lawful immigrants as well as benefits for all illegal immigrants.
Students who will require a professional or commercial license provided by a local, state, or federal government agency in order to engage in an occupation for which the CSU may be training them must meet the immigration requirements of the new Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act to achieve licensure. Information concerning the regulation is available from the Office of International Programs, The Village at Centennial Square, Building C, Room 138, (415) 338-1293.
Nondiscrimination Policy
Race, Color, Ethnicity, National Origin, Age and Religion
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, or religion in its programs and activities, including admission and access. Federal and state laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the California Equity in Higher Education Act, prohibit such discrimination.
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its programs and activities, including admission and access. Federal and state laws, including sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, prohibit such discrimination.
Sex/Gender/Gender Identity/Sexual Orientation
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation in its programs and activities, including admission and access. Federal and state laws, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, prohibit such discrimination.
The California State University is committed to providing equal opportunities to male and female CSU students in all campus programs, including intercollegiate athletics.

Campus Safety and Security
Campus Security Report
San Francisco State University's annual security report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by San Francisco State University, and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to, and accessible from the campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. You can obtain a copy of this report and annual fire safety report by contacting the Department of Public Safety or by accessing the following web site: www.sfsu.edu/~dps.
Information concerning San Francisco State University's policies, procedures, and facilities for students and others to report criminal actions or other emergencies occurring on campus may also be obtained from the Department of Public Safety.
Computer Security
Legitimate computing for educational uses is encouraged. However, some may be tempted to abuse this privilege but not be aware of the legal aspects of computer crime. If San Francisco State University computers are illegally used, California Penal Code 502 states that the offender may be found guilty of a felony which is punishable by a fine not exceeding $10,000, or by imprisonment for 16, 24, or 36 months, or by both fine and imprisonment. Any student who illegally uses the SF State computer system may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the university.
Computer security is the responsibility of everyone. All computing users should read the SF State Computing Services Security Guide which covers policies, procedures, proper uses, and misuses of computing systems. The Computing Services Security Guide is accessible from the World Wide Web at www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/rules/security.htm.
Sexual Assault
San Francisco State University does not tolerate acts of sexual assault. All reported instances of sexual assault are investigated and appropriate disciplinary, criminal, and/or legal action is taken, with consent of the victim. Appropriate support services are made available to students, faculty, or staff who are victims of sexual assault. For more information, please visit www.sfsu.edu/~safe_plc/.
Student Conduct
Title 5, California Code of Regulations § 41301. Standards for Student Conduct
The University is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy living and learning environment for students, faculty, and staff. Each member of the campus community must choose behaviors that contribute toward this end. Student behavior that is not consistent with the Student Conduct Code is addressed through an educational process that is designed to promote safety and good citizenship and, when necessary, impose appropriate consequences.
- Student Responsibilities: Students are expected to be good citizens and to engage in responsible behaviors that reflect well upon their university, to be civil to one another and to others in the campus community, and contribute positively to student and university life
- Unacceptable Student Behaviors: The following behavior is subject to disciplinary sanctions:
- Dishonesty, including:
- Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty that are intended to gain unfair academic advantage.
- Furnishing false information to a university official, faculty member, or campus office.

Conduct that threatens the safety or security of the campus community, or substantially disrupts the functions or operation of the university is within the jurisdiction of this Article regardless of whether it occurs on or off campus. Nothing in this Code may conflict with Education Code section 66301 that prohibits disciplinary action against students based on behavior protected by the First Amendment.
- Procedures for Enforcing this Code The chancellor shall adopt procedures to ensure students are afforded appropriate notice and an opportunity to be heard before the University imposes any sanction for a violation of the Student Conduct Code.
- Summary of Civil and Criminal Penalties for Violation of Federal Copyright Laws
As referenced earlier in Section XXI, Student Conduct (15) (G) the penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.

Title 5, California Code of Regulations § 41302. Disposition of Fees: Campus Emergency; Interim Suspension.
The president of the campus may place on probation, suspend, or expel a student for one or more of the causes enumerated in Section 41301. No fees or tuition paid by or for such student for the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended or expelled shall be refunded. If the student is readmitted before the close of the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended, no additional tuition or fees shall be required of the student on account of the suspension.
During periods of campus emergency, as determined by the president of the individual campus, the president may, after consultation with the chancellor, place into immediate effect any emergency regulations, procedures, and other measures deemed necessary or appropriate to meet the emergency, safeguard persons and property, and maintain educational activities.
The president may immediately impose an interim suspension in all cases in which there is reasonable cause to believe that such an immediate suspension is required in order to protect lives or property and to insure the maintenance of order. A student so placed on interim suspension shall be given prompt notice of charges and the opportunity for a hearing within 10 days of the imposition of interim suspension. During the period of interim suspension, the student shall not, without prior written permission of the president or designated representative, enter any campus of the California State University other than to attend the hearing. Violation of any condition of interim suspension shall be grounds for expulsion.
What You Need to Know About Drugs and Alcohol at San Francisco State University
San Francisco State University is committed to a safe and healthy environment for the campus community. The use of alcohol and other drugs should not interfere with the university's educational mission.
The university expects every student, faculty member, staff member, and administrator to be aware of and comply with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the unlawful possession, distribution, or use of illegal drugs and alcohol.
It is the policy of San Francisco State University that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of illegal drugs on the university campus, or at any university-sponsored event off campus, is prohibited. No one may use illegal substances, or abuse legal substances, including alcohol, in a manner which impairs performance of assigned tasks. A more complete description of these regulations is contained in University Directive #89-12 (The Alcohol and Drug Policy) and University Directive #90-15 (Policy on Substance Abuse in the Workplace) which are available at Human Resources Office, the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Office of the Dean of Students.
State Laws regarding driving while under the influence of alcohol
- An arresting officer can take the license from any driver suspected to be driving under the influence who refuses to take a blood alcohol concentration test.
- Anyone under 21 found in possession of alcohol can have their driver's license taken away, even if the under age person was not drinking, drunk, or driving.
Disciplinary Action
STUDENTS: The manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs or illegal use of alcohol will normally result in either probation, suspension, or dismissal from the university.
EMPLOYEES: Those found to be in violation of university policy may be subject to corrective action, up to and including dismissal, or may be required, at the discretion of the university, to participate satisfactorily in an approved counseling or rehabilitation program. All members of the campus may be subject to criminal prosecution for violation of applicable local, state, or federal laws.
Consider the Following:
After drinking, have you ever engaged in unplanned sexual activity? All alcohol [beer, wine, and hard liquor] decreases people's ability to use good judgment and act according to their own desires if they've been drinking beyond their capacity. People practice less safe sex when under the influence, more unintended pregnancies occur, more regretted sex and acquaintance rapes occur, and more diseases are transmitted sexually.
Have you ever taken speed or stimulants (methamphetamine or prescription drugs such as Ritalin) to help you stay awake to meet a deadline? The initial effect of speed is increased alertness, increased sense of well-being, and ability to stay awake. Most uppers are short acting (6-12 hours). As the drug wears off, withdrawal sets in. The user is irritable, disinterested in the tasks at hand, needs sleep, and can be agitated--just around the time you need to be at your best. In addition, meth is particularly hard on the body. It contains toxic substances and is extremely stressful on the heart.
How much can I drink and still be legal on the road? Many factors influence your blood alcohol level--such as body weight, gender, amount consumed, amount of food eaten, mood, body temperature, and previous drinking experience. As little as one drink may produce blood levels greater than the legal limit. The safest and smartest approach is to ask a non-drinking friend to drive if you drink, or designate a driver who will not drink.
Do you use cocaine to give you an "edge" in your studies or at work? Most people start using cocaine because it makes them feel "more" something--more confident, more alert, more attractive, more intelligent, more energetic. But these effects of the drug last only a few minutes, and leave the user feeling worse than they felt before. This sets up a cycle of craving the drug to feel good again, and repeated use to avoid feeling bad. Eventually, not only do you lose your "edge," but you can't even stay in the game. Cocaine can cause dramatic changes in blood pressure, as well as heart and breathing rates. One-time, occasional use or using small amounts have all been known to cause breathing to stop, stroke, or death. Crack is an especially addictive form of cocaine.
Do you smoke marijuana to forget problems with your studies or work responsibilities? If your answer is yes, the drug may be working better than you think. Marijuana can disturb both the process of formation and storage of memory. Even occasional use can result in memory impairment. It can also adversely affect your ability to concentrate and pay attention to school and work assignments. With continued use, long-term learning problems can occur as well as a reduction in motivation. This can lead to a further decline in performance of academic and job-related responsibilities. In addition, short term effects include slowed reaction time and increased heart rate. There are over 400 chemicals contained in marijuana. One joint contains 50% more tar than a cigarette.
Do you use steroids to build your muscles faster during weight training? Anabolic steroids are basically synthetic male hormones that are often used to rapidly increase muscle mass. While steroids can contribute to faster muscle building when combined with weight training, they can also cause atrophy of the testicles and enlargement of the prostrate in men; in women, an increase in body hair and baldness may be seen. There are a number of other toxic side effects of steroid use including liver damage, and there is danger of HIV and hepatitis infection from the sharing of needles used to inject the steroids. The added muscle attributed to steroid use hardly seems worth the dangers.
In a recent study, 29% of SF State students who drink reported that they had missed a class because of drinking, 19% reported that they had fallen behind in school work, and 19% stated that they had done something that they later regretted. Nation-wide campus statistics suggest that alcohol is involved in:
- 2/3 of all violent behavior
- 1/2 of all physical injuries
- 1/3 of all emotional difficulty among students
- 30% of all academic problems
- 75% of all motor vehicle accidents
- 90% of date rapes on college campuses
- 40% of all diseases transmitted sexually

Federal Military Selective Service
The federal Military Selective Service Act (the "Act") requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves for registration with the Selective Service System within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959 may be required to submit a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance under specified provisions of existing federal law. In California, students subject to the Act who fail to register are also ineligible to receive any need-based student grants funded by the state or a public post-secondary institution.
Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office, and many high schools have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective Service registrar. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used to register them with the Selective Service. Information on the Selective Service System is available and the registration process may be initiated on-line at www.sss.gov.

#1 Best Internships for Marketing & Communications Majors
#3 Best Internships for MBA Candidates
#4 Best Consulting Internships
/ + Show All
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is a global management
consulting firm and the world's leading advisor on business
strategy. Founded in 1963, BCG is a private firm comprised of 6000
consultants in 78 offices in 43 countries, with 2012 revenues of
$3.7 billion. BCG partners with clients in all sectors, industries
and regions to identify their highest-value opportunities, address
their most critical challenges and transform their businesses.
BCG's expertise spans a variety of functional and industry
BCG consultants come from a variety of backgrounds, reflecting the
diversity of perspective we value. Most assignments involve one or
more teams of three to six BCGers. A BCG team may combine
consultants with relevant technical and industry backgrounds with
others who have functional and strategic skills. We also strive to
incorporate a mix of seniority and skills to balance the
capabilities needed for the project with a sound budget plan. We
create value by customizing our approach to complement client
capabilities and the issues at hand.
We believe consulting is a process, not a product. Our goal is to
guide, develop, facilitate, and enrich each client's strategy
development and transformation processes. Our consulting practice
depends on close teamwork between the client's organization and our
staff. Clients often remark that a valuable and unusual aspect of
working with BCG is the firm's commitment to joint discovery of
insights and strategies, which is carried through to achieving
tangible impact, while also building the experience base and skills
of the client's organization.
BCG's low "leverage ratio" of non-partners to partners facilitates
an active apprenticeship model for our consultants and interns. The
BCG culture is characterized by open engagement and constructive
debate, where "ideas trump tenure" and every team member has an
active voice. This culture and non-hierarchical environment is
rooted in BCG's heritage and is an important component of the BCG
BCG hires summer interns in all of our North American offices,
typically for 10-week internships. The goal of the summer program
is to give summer interns an opportunity to get to know our
business and our people well, and to make a meaningful contribution
to our work. Our summer interns will be full members of a case
team, with a work module similar to what they will receive as full
time consultants and associates, typically including extensive
client contact and close working relationships with BCG partners
and principals. We provide our summer interns with extensive
training and development opportunities including a structured
coaching and development process. Social and affiliation events are
a part of the intern experience, helping our interns build
connections and affiliation with BCGers from day one.
BCG offers our consultants and interns unparalled opportunities for
both personal and professional growth and development. No two
experiences are alike, and our people acquire skills that position
them for success within and outside of BCG. As such, BCG has
received numerous recognitions, including ranking in the top 5 on
FORTUNE magazines rigorous "Best Companies to Work For" list for
the past three years.

Brandon Goodwin, a guard from Norcross High School, committed to Southern Miss on Tuesday.
The 6-foot senior picked Southern Miss over Western Kentucky, Appalachian State and Gardner-Webb, among others.
"I chose Southern Mississippi because I felt at home as soon as I stepped on campus," Goodwin said. "I love the players and the coaching staff. After a lot of thought I came to the conclusion that this was the right decision for me and I really look forward to being a Golden Eagle."
He averaged 15 points as a junior at Norcross.
"Brandon is one of the most competitive players to ever play at Norcross and one that had an integral role in our success last season," Norcross coach Jesse McMillan said. "His relentless play on both ends of the floor allows him to be very successful and I think he has the opportunity to be an immediate contributor at Southern Miss and in Conference USA."

Student Selected as Inaugural Public Health Fellow
Enrique Romero is a sophomore interested in majoring in either Sociology or Human Biology with a double major in Spanish. During the summer of 2013, he participated in Summer Medical and Dental Education Program (SMDEP) at UCLA. This six-week pipeline program exposed him to the medical field while teaching him about health disparities that affect many underserved communities. He realized that his hometown of Richmond, CA struggled from some of these health disparities, which was something that he wanted to address. He applied for the Public Health Fellowship, at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Communicable Disease Control and Prevention Division because of the opportunity to get involved in community-based activities that focused on public health outreach and education. He hopes to gain as much information on public health organization as possible in order to carry this over to his own community.
About the Fellowship
The Public Health Fellowship is a collaborative effort of the Pitzer College Community Engagement Center and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Communicable Disease Control and Prevention Division. One student will be selected to serve as the Spring 2014 Public Health Fellow. The Fellow will assist the Los Angeles County Viral Hepatitis Coordinator, a Pitzer alumna, in office and community-based activities and will learn about infectious disease prevention and public health.

Screening of "Los Rollos Perdidos de Pancho Villa [The Lost Reels of Pancho Villa]" with filmmaker Gregorio Rocha
Benson Auditorium
Gregorio Rocha's award-winning documentary Los rollos perdidos de Pancho Villa recounts his painstaking intercontinental search for one of film history's most intriguing lost works: Raoul Walsh's The Life of General Villa, a quasi-factual 1914 biography commissioned by the Mexican revolutionary strongman (in which Villa allowed cameramen to follow him into actual combat). While sleuthing in countless archives, vaults and institutional back rooms, the Mexico City-based filmmaker and media archivist uncovers a wider, decidedly conflicted legacy of how the general was depicted in the newsreels and movies of the silent film era—and locates in the process the heretofore little-known origins of border cinema.
Gregorio Rocha is a veteran Mexican documentary film and video maker. He has shown his work at New York's Museum of Modern Art, the Robert Flaherty Seminar, the Guggenheim Museums of Bilbao and New York, and numerous film festivals internationally.

A capacity to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the sciences, engineering, or mathematics by pursuing original, creative work at an advanced level as demonstrated by awards, prizes, research, and letters of recommendation. Applicants in the sciences and engineering will demonstrate extensive laboratory experience, internships, or other related work, while applicants in mathematics will show substantial independent work or other projects.
Outstanding personal qualities. Understanding the time commitment required by research, the Churchill Foundation does not seek so-called "well rounded" applicants; instead, it seeks applicants with what we call interesting "jagged edges." Nonetheless, it should be noted that successful applicants display a bewildering array of talents activities outside of academic pursuits, especially in music, athletics, social service, among other activities.

Continuing Invasion: Resistance, Resilience, and Re-invention among North American Indigenous Peoples
This semester, the Scripps Humanities Institute brings to campus a diverse group of indigenous speakers whose work constitutes its own form of resistance, challenging and contesting the omissions, distortions, and fetishized constructions that abound in mainstream and scholarly representations of Native peoples. Events include lectures, film screenings, and a women's leadership and peacemaking forum.
Women · Leadership · Peace — Transforming the Future
A series of four workshops led by Gayle Anne Kelley Cultural and Community Development Specialist and Documentary Filmmaker
Hampton Room, Malott Commons, Scripps College 6:30-8:30pm
According to indigenous cultures, this is the "Time of the Woman." This forum will present several cultural views on women's leadership and the importance of women in governance and the peacemaking process.
This forum will present a series of lectures, guest speakers, and open circle discussion. Topics will include: defining/redefining leadership in the 21st century; examining past and present female archetypes of peace and leadership; looking at personal, societal and spiritual core values as a gateway into leadership development; offering a new paradigm for peace that includes a model of 15 building blocks — a synergy of thought and principle between western ideology and indigenous thinking.

Our movie of the evening, In the Light of Reverence, , is an account of how the Lakota in the Black Hills, the Hopi in Arizona, and the Wintu in Northern California are striving to protect their sacred sites. This film documents the struggle between Native and Non-Native individuals to co-exist with very different ideas about how the land should be used. The evening will close with a special guest panel discussion on sacred sites including: Julia Bogany, cultural affairs director of the Tongva Nation; Rebecca Robles, co-director of United Coalition to Protect Panhe (UCCP), Acjachemen Nation; Robertjohn Knapp, ceremonial leader (Tubotalobal/Seneca/Ohlone); and Dr. Felicia R.

Chief Cerda will be followed by our special guest Danny Beaton of the Turtle Clan Kahniakehaka (Mohawk Nation), Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Six Nations, Iroquois) Grand River Country, Canada. From an early age, Mr. Beaton was brought into a traditional circle of Native Elders led by Chief Oren Lyons, (Faithkeeper of the Onondaga and Seneca Nations) where he was instructed and taught to honor and protect Mother Earth. Mr. Beaton is a ceremonial leader, writer, producer, director, environmentalist, and has received many awards for his environmental activism including; the National Aboriginal Achievement Award 2010; and the Governor General's Medal for Outstanding Contributions to his fellow Canadians.
This evening will feature two films. The Second Thanksgiving is about the sacredness of life, and the duty of human beings to respect and give thanks to all of creation, and to honor the life giving forces (air, water, fire and Mother Earth). Our second film, The Iroquois Speak Out For Mother Earth, honors our sacred Mother Earth and calls for a return to peace, harmony, and respect. This evening will conclude with a discussion led by Robertjohn Knapp and Danny Beaton on the teachings of the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse).
The community is invited to attend a Sunrise Ceremony Saturday morning April 16 at 5:30 AM at Pitzer College Commencement Plaza. All participants are invited to continue the conversation with gathered elders at the McConnell Dining Hall directly following the ceremony.

Pitzer College Named a "Most Service Minded School" by Newsweek
Claremont, Calif. (September 15, 2010) – Newsweek named Pitzer College among their "Top 25 Most Service Minded Schools" in its 2010 College Rankings. Pitzer placed #23 nationally.
Newsweek partners at Washington Monthly determined which colleges have the most service-minded students, faculty, and policies by measuring these areas: the size of their Army and Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs; the proportion of alumni in the Peace Corps; the percentage of federal work-study money spent on community-service projects; the number of students participating in community service and their total service hours; whether classes incorporate service; and if there are service-based scholarships.
Newsweek wrote "Pitzer students are known for their involvement beyond the campus: Not only does a high percentage of students study abroad each year (70 percent compared to 2 percent nationwide.) Pitzer's students also maintain a strong tradition of local involvement and community service. With over 100,000 hours of service donated annually from Pitzer students, this college ranks 23 on Newsweek's list of most service-minded schools."
Newsweek compiled the rankings with information from the National Center for Education Statistics, The Washington Monthly and College Prowler.
