Residence Requirements: 30-Hours Rule

All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program are required to complete the final thirty (30) semester hours of academic credit in residence at Saint Augustine's College. The student should be enrolled at the College during the year in which the degree is granted. This requirement also applies to transfer students who are admitted to the College. Coursework taken within the Cooperating Raleigh Colleges (CRC) Consortium is considered "in residence."

The Department Chair, Division Dean, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs must give prior written approval to students, who have attained senior classification, for a waiver of the 30-hour rule to support the completion of graduation requirements, including waivers for general education or major requirements as well as CRC coursework. Official transcripts from the CRC institutions where academic credit was earned must be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar prior to Commencement.

Students who have earned a grade of “D” or “F” in a course required for graduation while enrolled at the College must repeat that course at Saint Augustine’s College and obtain a grade of “C” or better. The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs may make exceptions to residence requirements in conjunction with the approval support of the Division Deans and the Department Chairs.
