History of Cleveland Community College The 1963 North Carolina General Assembly authorized a system of comprehensive community colleges, technical institutes, industrial education centers, and extension units to be established and placed under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Education. The Cleveland Unit of Gaston College was established on July 1, 1965, as a result of the vision and effort of many individuals over several years. The Shelby Chamber of Com- merce and the County Commissioners worked with the State Board of Education and Gaston College in establishing a unit of the College. Two buildings were rented by the County Commissioners at 118 North Morgan Street to start the school. On July 11, 1965, James B. Petty was elected director of the Unit. The first classes began in September 1965, in the old Porter Brothers and McBrayer buildings. The number of classes and students has grown rapidly since that date. On October 3, 1967, a local Board of Trustees was officially appointed and the Extension Unit became Cleveland County Technical Institute, a unit of the Department of Community Colleges of North Carolina. In July 1969, the institute leased the County Home property at 137 South Post Road for a campus and moved to the new location. Having secured a grant of $500,000 from the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners and matched by a like amount from the State of North Carolina, architects were commis- sioned in 1972 to plan a long-range building program on the present campus and the first two buildings for the new campus layout. The first two buildings were completed and placed in use for the Fall Quarter 1974. In June 1977, the voters of Cleveland County approved a $5,000,000 bond referendum to construct the next two phases of the long-range development plan for the campus. Construction began in summer 1979 on these buildings to add approximately 100,000 additional square feet of permanent facilities including a new Learning Resources Center, classrooms, shops, laboratories, snack bar, bookstore, and offices. Shop additions were placed in use for Fall Quarter 1980. The main additional construction, known as the Jack Hunt Campus Center, was placed in use in March 1981. Formal dedication was held Oc- tober 18, 1981. On March 3, 1980, the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners voted to concur with the request by the Board of Trustees for a name change of Cleveland County Technical Institute to Cleveland Technical College. By action of the state legislature, effective July 1, 1987, the College was authorized to become Cleveland Community College and to offer two-year college transfer programs. The first college transfer students were enrolled in the Fall Quarter 1987. A Field House building was completed in July 1987 and became part of the College’s physical education complex. Contracts were awarded in December 1987 for the construc- tion of a new Student Activities Center. This building was placed in use for Spring Quarter 1989. A Maintenance building was completed in August 1990. The James Broughton Pet- ty Amphitheater was completed and dedicated April 24, 1991. The founding president, Dr. James Petty, retired as President Emeritus on July 31, 1990. The College’s second president, Dr. L. Steve Thornburg, assumed the presidency on Au- gust 1, 1990. During years 1995, 1996, and 1997 the College pursued an extensive reengineering pro- cess to completely redesign every course and every program of study in order to accom-

modate converting from a quarter hour system to a semester hour system. Cleveland, along with all other community colleges in North Carolina, began offering semester credit hours in the summer term of 1997. On May 20, 1997, the voters of Cleveland County again expressed their confidence in the College by approving a $3.1 million bond referendum to construct a new classroom build- ing and an emergency training center. The technology classroom building was placed in use for Fall Semester 1999. On November 7, 2000, the voters of North Carolina approved a $3.1 billion bond referen- dum for the North Carolina Community College System and the University of North Caro- lina System. Cleveland Community College’s share was approximately $5 million-$3.8 million for new construction and $1.2 million for repairs and renovation. After four years of anticipation, the Emergency Training Center (ETC) was completed and dedicated on December 12, 2002. This facility is one of the most advanced in the South- east. The Emergency Training Center provides a higher quality and variety of training for volunteer and professional firefighters, rescue workers, EMS personnel and law enforce- ment officers. In 2003, the College’s Foundation embarked on a Capital Campaign for new construction. In the 2005-2006 academic year, CCC celebrated 40 years of building futures in Cleve- land County. At the 40th Anniversary celebration several families and individuals were recognized for their contributions with the renaming of College facilities. The auditorium is now the Mildred H. Keeter Auditorium, the library is the Jim and Patsy Rose Library and the ETC is now the Brown Emergency Training Center, named by Doug Brown in honor of his family, and the technology building is the Paksoy Technology Center. The Bailey Allied Health and Science Center was dedicated on July 28, 2009, and was named by CCC Trustee Chairman Hoyt Q. Bailey in honor of his wife, Anne Dover Bailey. This state of the art building houses CCC’s allied health programs including biotechnolo- gy, radiography and nursing programs. Also finding a home in the center is the John O. Harris Studio for C19 TV as well as faculty offices and classrooms. On July 1, 2010, CCC celebrated 45 years of Building Futures for the citizens of Cleve- land County. A celebration was held on August 6, 2010, to commemorate the anniversary. During this special celebration CCC Board of Trustees, along with CCC President Dr. L. Steve Thornburg, faculty and staff reflected on CCC's 45 year history and progress. This time was also used to celebrate Dr. Thornburg's 20th anniversary as president of Cleve- land Community College. Shortly following the College's 45th Anniversary, a groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 14, 2010, for the LeGrand Center. This 84,000 square-foot building currently provides offices and classroom space for CCC’s Continuing Education, Cleveland NCWorks, The Carl and Doris Dedmon Center for Cleveland Early College High School, and much needed space for Cleveland County’s economic development efforts.

Accreditation Cleveland Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Cleveland Community College. Inquiries to SACS should relate only to the accreditation status of the institution and not to general admission requirements, financial aid, educational programs or issues involving application of academic regulations.

Campus Behavior and Disorders It is expected that all students, employees, and visitors to campus will conduct themselves in a responsible manner at all times. The College has an inherent responsibility to main- tain order on its campus. Anyone who disrupts the educational environment for students, faculty and staff, or violates the Student Code of Conduct, may be asked to leave cam- pus. The President, Vice Presidents, and Campus Security have the authority to dismiss an individual from campus. Should disruption continue or if the person or persons do not leave the campus as re- quested, administrative officials of the College will request that appropriate law enforce- ment officials come to the campus for the purpose of preserving public order. After law enforcement officials arrive and assess the situation, responsibility for public order will be in the hands of the law enforcement officials.

12 • General Information

Visitors on Campus To ensure a safe and secure campus environment, any College employee may request to see personal identification of any visitor. Visitors who do not comply with requests for identification may be asked to leave campus. Visitors must have the instructor’s approval prior to visiting classrooms, shops, or labs. Classes can only be interrupted by a Campus Security representative and only for the purpose of delivering medical emergency messages.

Children on Campus Children under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children are not allowed in classrooms or in the gymnasium except for approved events.

Night Offerings The College offers an extensive night program which includes most of the credit and non-credit courses given in the daytime. The availability of credit courses at night allows the student who must work while attend- ing school the opportunity to coordinate school activities with employment. A student may enroll for both day and night classes in most programs. With the exception of Allied Health Programs (PN, RAD, PHLEB and SUR), it is possible to complete all work toward a degree or diploma by attending at night. The rate of pro- gress through a program will depend upon the number of courses taken each term. A re- duced load will require a longer period to complete program requirements.

Cancellation of Classes The College reserves the right to cancel any class, day or night, for which there is insuffi- cient enrollment.

Inclement Weather The College President will make the decision as to whether or not classes will be held during periods of inclement weather.

C Cards (Student ID Cards) All curriculum students (full-time and part-time) enrolled at CCC and taking classes on campus are required to obtain a student identification card (C Card) once their registration process is complete. The C Card is the official identification card of CCC. It is required for access to essential campus services, resources, and activities and serves as the student Library card. This card also serves as the identification badge for students enrolled in pro- grams that have classes with a clinical component. The C Card offers an attached ac- count which students use for all printing and copying from College equipment. Funds can be added to this account online and through a dispenser in the Rose Library. C Cards are issued at the circulation desk in the Rose Library. To obtain the card the stu- dent must be currently enrolled and present a means of photographic identification. The first C Card is issued at no charge to the student. A fee of $5.00 will be charged for each reprint to replace lost or damaged cards. The name on the C Card must match the name contained in the official student record maintained by the College. The C Card photos are digitized and stored. CCC retains full rights to these photographs for use in administrative and identification function. The C Card photo should show the full face of the applicant, without hat, bandanas, or dark glasses (sunglasses). Head coverings may be permitted due to religious beliefs or medical reasons, provided the head covering does not obscure the face. Photographs of applicants wearing tribal, national costume, or other headgear not specifically religious in nature are not allowed. The head covering may not display any logo, insignia, symbol, regalia, word or words, letter, number, character, graphic design, or any combination thereof, other than the overall pattern of the fabric or material. Eyeglasses worn on a daily basis can be worn for the photo; however, there should be no reflection from the eye- glasses that obscure the eyes. The key requirement is that the photo clearly identifies the cardholder. Gestures are prohibited. For verification purposes, all faculty and staff of the College may request to see the C Card at any time while on campus or at any off-campus activity sponsored by the College. Any student without a valid C Card in his or her possession will be asked to leave campus unless his or her purpose can be substantiated by a College official. The President, a College Vice President, and Campus Security have the authority to retrieve or cancel a C Card in the event of a disciplinary action by the College, such as suspension or dismissal, or in the event of misuse of the card, such as using the card for false identification.

This policy provides for admission of any legal resident of the United States who is a high school graduate or at least 18 years old. Ad- mission requirements for an emancipated minor are the same as for an applicant 18 years old or older. Admission to the College does not guarantee acceptance to the program of your choice or guarantee continued enrollment in the College. The College accepts appli- cations continuously throughout the school year. Early application is advised for many programs. The College reserves the right to refuse admission to a student if it is necessary to protect the safety of the student or other individuals. The College will only refuse admission to an applicant if there is an articulable, imminent, and significant threat to others. Any applicant refused admission for safety purposes may appeal this action by following the Non-Academic Appeals Procedure in the current Academic Bulletin & Student Handbook. While admission to the college is open to all adult citizens, some programs of study re- quire individuals to meet certain requirements, have limited enrollment capabilities, or have competitive admissions. Applicants applying to Competitive Programs as stated in the current Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook must satisfy additional admission requirements. High school graduation or equivalence is required for all curriculum programs, except the following: A/C, Heating & Refrigeration Tech Diploma and Certificate, HVAC/R Control System Certificate, Heat Pump Systems Certificate, Heating Systems Certificate, Car- pentry Diploma and Certificate, Collision Repair and Refinishing Technology Diploma and Certificate, Computer-Integrated Machining Diploma and Certificate, Computer Numerical Control Certificate, Facility Maintenance Diploma, Facility Maintenance Technology Cer- tificate-Air Conditioning Maintenance, Facility Maintenance Technology Certificate- Elec- trical Maintenance, Industrial Systems Tech Diploma, Industrial Systems Tech Certifi- cate-Electrical/Automation, Industrial Systems Tech Certificate-Instrumentation, Industrial Systems Tech Certificate- Mechanical/Hydraulic, Infant/Toddler Care Certificate, Medical Transcription Diploma, Plumbing Diploma and Certificate, School-Age Care Certificate, Welding Technology Diploma and Certificate (Basic, MIG, Stick, TIG, Pipe).

The request and documenta- tion must be submitted before the end of the term (and end of the classes), but may be

Academic Regulations • 27

accepted as necessitated by the medical condition. The documentation must be sub- mitted to the Vice President of Student Services. 2. The Vice President of Student Services will review all submitted documentation and make a decision regarding voluntary medical withdrawal within 10 business days after receipt of the documentation. 3. The decision of the Vice President of Student Services will be communicated to the student via official College student email. 4. Students who are granted medical withdrawals will receive the grade of "W" (with- drawal) in all courses in progress and/or specified in the request. 5. Specific conditions for re-admittance are stipulated at the time of withdrawal. These conditions may specify a minimum period of time for the withdrawal and/or may require a letter of medical clearance from a physician, psychologist, or psychiatrist stating that in the professional expert's opinion the student is now capable of handling the aca- demic and social demands of college.

Grading System Grading the performance of students in course work is the responsibility of individual fac- ulty members as dictated by the course syllabus. At the end of each term students will be evaluated as follows: Letter Grade Explanation Quality Points A Excellent 4 points per sem./hr. B Good 3 points per sem./hr. C Average 2 points per sem./hr. D Below Average 1 point per sem./hr. F Failure (No Credit) 0 points per sem./hr. I Incomplete; Requirements must be com- 0 points per sem./hr. pleted in next semester or receive an F. P Pass 0 points per sem./hr. R Re-enroll 0 points per sem./hr. AF, BF, CF, DF Grade of A, B, C, D or F that has been for- 0 points per sem./hr. or FF given W Official Withdrawal 0 points per sem./hr. CE Credit by Exam 0 points per sem./hr. AU Audit 0 points per sem./hr. MT Military Training 0 points per sem./hr. EL Experiential Learning 0 points per sem./hr. AP Advanced Placement 0 points per sem./hr. TR Transferred In 0 points per sem./hr. AR Articulated Course 0 points per sem./hr. CL College-Level Examination Program 0 points per sem./hr. (CLEP)

28 • Academic Regulations

Any student who receives an "I" should negotiate a contract with the instructor involved. Contracts negotiated between the student and the instructor will specify a definite comple- tion date for the requirements within the term following receipt of the "I". Upon completion of the contract in the specified time, the instructor will notify Student Services, by filling out the appropriate form in Student Services, to change the "I" to a letter grade or the "I" will automatically convert to an "F".

Grade Point Average The GPA is the most important example of a student’s academic progress. The computa- tion of a GPA is shown below as an example to simplify the average. It is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted, excluding I, W, CE, AU, MT, EL, AP, TR, AR, CL, AF, BF, CF, DF, FF, P, R, and grades made in developmental courses. The cumulative GPA is based on all eligible grades while a student is enrolled at Cleveland Community College as a curriculum stu- dent. The current GPA is based on one term’s work (current) for all eligible grades. Example of Computing the GPA Course Grade Credit Hours Grade Points per Grade Points Attempted Credit Hour Earned ENG 111 A 3 x 4 = 12 ACC 120 B 4 x 3 = 12 CIS 115 C 3 x 2 = 6 BIO 163 D 5 x 1 = 5 15 35

Class Attendance Policy Absences are a serious deterrent to good scholarship; it is impossible to receive instruc- tion, obtain knowledge or gain skills when absent. Although there are numerous reasons for absences such as personal illness, death in the family, work conflicts, or unexpected emergencies, all absences will be counted in the 20% maximum. A student, who, during a term, incurs in any course absences in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the class hours for that course may be withdrawn from the course (without credit). Students who have not attended class at least once by the 10% date of the course will be withdrawn by the in- structor as "never attended." Absences may be considered legitimate and eligible for makeup at the discretion of the instructor. The student is responsible for seeing the instructor, giving the reason for the absences, and requesting a make-up assignment. This is to include students on rotating shift work schedules. An instructor may refuse admission to class to any student who arrives more than ten minutes late to a class. One-half day’s absence will be counted if a student leaves thirty minutes or more early.

Academic Regulations • 29

Some classes may have a more restrictive attendance policy which will be noted in the class syllabus. Attendance policy described in syllabi will be the official policy for that class.

Academic Progress The following cumulative grade point averages are the minimums which must be attained in order for a student to make reasonable progress toward graduation. A 2.00 grade point average is required for graduation.

Associate Degree Programs Cumulative Semester Hours Minimum Grade Point Average 1-18 1.40 19-36 1.60 37-45 1.80 over 45 2.00

Diploma Programs Cumulative Semester Hours Minimum Grade Point Average 1 - 18 1.60 19 - 30 1.80 Over 30 2.00

Certificate Programs Students enrolled in certificate programs must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA to achieve satisfactory academic progress.

Dean's List and President's List Students who receive a 4.0 grade point average at the end of either the Fall or Spring semester and are enrolled full-time at Cleveland will be on the President’s List for that semester. Students who receive a 3.5 to 3.99 grade point average at the end of the se- mester and are enrolled full-time at Cleveland will be on the Dean’s List for that semester. Developmental course grades are not used in the computation for the Dean’s List or President’s List. Students that receive an "I" are not eligible for the President’s or Dean’s list.

Who's Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges Each academic year, the faculty selects students for inclusion in the nationally-recognized program, Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges. These students are selected because of their outstanding performance in academics, extracurricular activities, or community service.

All-USA Community College Academic Team Each Fall semester, two students are selected as nominees to the ALL-USA Community College Academic Team. Students who are selected must be in the second year of a de- gree program, must excel academically and must be involved in extracurricular or com- munity activities. Phi Theta Kappa, USA Today, the American Association of Community Colleges and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation are co-sponsors of the All-USA Aca- demic Team.

North Carolina Community College System Academic Excellence Award Each Spring semester, one student from each community college in North Carolina is selected to receive Academic Excellence Awards at an event held in Raleigh, North Caro- lina, to honor their academic achievement.

Academic Probation and Suspension Any student who falls below the specified minimum cumulative grade point average at the end of any term will be placed on academic probation for the next term of enrollment. To be removed from probation, the student must attain the appropriate minimum cumulative grade point average by the end of the probation term; otherwise, the student will be sus- pended from taking curriculum classes for one term. Students may re-enroll after having been suspended for one term. Students who are making satisfactory academic progress (at least a 2.0 term grade point average) but are still below the minimum cumulative grade point average will have their probation status extended in lieu of suspension. Certain programs may establish addition- al academic progress requirements and impose sanctions for failure to meet those re- quirements. Students wishing to appeal an academic probation or suspension must complete the Ac- ademic Probation and Suspension Appeal form available in Student Services and submit the form to Student Services. The Academic Standing Committee will meet in a timely manner to review appeals. Students will be notified of the Academic Standing Commit- tee's decision by official College email. Financial Aid students should refer to the Satisfactory Progress Standards for Financial Aid section located within the Financial Information area of the Academic Bulletin & Stu- dent Handbook as there are different criteria for probation and suspension associated with Financial Aid.

Academic Forgiveness Academic Forgiveness is intended to help those students whose academic past at Cleve- land Community College has prevented them from enrolling in good standing at Cleveland Community College. In some cases, the student may be better served by utilizing Cleve- land Community College’s individual course repeat policy to retake a previous course for a higher grade, rather than invoking the overall academic forgiveness policy. If forgiveness is granted, all grades prior to a student’s re-enrollment will be excluded from the student’s GPA calculation for the requested courses and semesters. The forgiven classes will remain on the transcript with the original grade and a notation that Academic Forgiveness has been applied. Conditions of Academic Forgiveness 1. Academic Forgiveness may be available for any Cleveland Community College stu- dent who has experienced a lapse in enrollment at the College for a period of at least two calendar years and upon re-enrollment has earned and maintained at least 12 credit hours with grades of "C" or better. At least one course must be at the 101 level or above. 2. The student’s cumulative grade point average must also be less than 2.00 in order to be considered for Academic Forgiveness.

Academic Regulations • 31

3. Students who wish to apply for Academic Forgiveness must do so by the end of the term, following the completion of 12 credit hours. 4. Classes excluded from the GPA calculation under Academic Forgiveness will still count towards attempted classes for financial aid eligibility purposes. 5. Other institutions will use their own policies for calculating the student’s GPA for ad- missions purposes. Other institutions’ policies may not acknowledge the application of Cleveland Community College’s Academic Forgiveness policy to course grades and GPA calculation. 6. Courses taken during an Academic Forgiveness period count as hours earned toward graduation requirements and towards program GPA for graduation. Grades earned during the forgiveness period will not be calculated in the cumulative GPA; this in- cludes grades of "A", "B", and "C". 7. Academic Forgiveness may be granted only once and is not reversible. Requesting Academic Forgiveness 1. The student should complete the Academic Forgiveness Petition available in Student Services and submit the petition to Student Services by the end of the term, following the completion of 12 credit hours. The petition will be forwarded to the Academic Standing Committee for review. Recommendations for approval will be forwarded to the Vice President of Academic Programs for final approval. 2. The Academic Standing Committee will meet to review petitions following the term the petition was submitted. 3. If forgiveness is approved, the petition will be forwarded to Student Services where the student’s transcript will have a notation that forgiveness was awarded. 4. Student Services will notify the student through official College student email of the Committee’s decision by mid-term, following the term the petition was submitted.

Academic Honesty Cleveland Community College expects students to practice academic honesty at all times. Academic dishonesty refers to cheating on tests, examinations, projects, and other as- signed work. Plagiarism, a very serious form of academic dishonesty, is work that has been written by someone other than the student submitting the work or work obtained from an undocu- mented or improperly documented resource. Students are responsible for documenting both direct quotations and paraphrased material. Direct quotations must appear within quotation marks and must be documented. Paraphrased material (written in the student's own words but taken from another source) must also be documented completely and ac- curately. When a suspected incidence of academic dishonesty occurs, the College will follow these procedures: 1. The faculty member must complete the College's "Academic Dishonesty Incident Re- port" and will ask the student to sign the Report. If the student refuses to sign the Re- port, the faculty member will note (on the Report) the student's refusal to sign the Re- port. 2. The faculty member must submit the Report immediately to the appropriate divisional dean, the appropriate vice president, and to Student Services. 3. The Report will be submitted to the Registrar’s office in Student Services for placement in the student's academic file. The content of the Report will be in effect even if the

32 • Academic Regulations

student refuses to sign the document. Submission of the Report indicates to Student Services that an "F" should be entered on the student’s transcript for the appropriate course. 4. The student will not have the opportunity to withdraw from the course or change from credit to audit status for that course. The student has the right to appeal to the Grievance Committee within two weeks after written notice (the Academic Dishonesty Incident Report) has been presented to the stu- dent. If the student appeals to the Grievance Committee, the student will be allowed to continue to attend class until the Grievance procedures are completed. The grade of "F" will remain in effect unless the Grievance Committee determines otherwise. If the student does not appeal to the Grievance Committee, he or she will not be allowed to return to class. Students who are found guilty of committing a second act of academic dishonesty (deter- mined by the College’s established procedures set forth in this document) will receive a grade of "F" in the course in which academic dishonesty has occurred and will also be suspended from all College courses, programs, and activities for one year according to the following timetable: Term of Suspension Term of Readmission Fall Fall of the next year Spring Spring of the next year Summer Summer of the next year More than two instances of academic dishonesty will result in denial of enrollment for a period of five (5) calendar years from the date of suspension.

Course Repeat Regulations A student may repeat a course taken for credit or audit. A course may be taken a total of three (3) times for credit and/or audit. The appropriate academic dean must justify, in writing, any exception to this policy. The written justification will be placed in the student’s academic file in Student Services. Repeated courses will appear on the student’s tran- script. Each grade will be shown on the transcript, but only the last grade (A, B, C, D, F) will be computed into the cumulative grade point average. Withdrawals are not counted as repeated courses. Students accepted into Allied Health curriculum programs are precluded from repeating some courses. Regulations are stated in their program application materials.

Five-Year Technology Rule Technology changes at a rapid pace; therefore, the following rules apply to comput- er-related courses: 1. All students who wish to take CIS 110 must have accomplished one of the following: a. Scored 80% or better on the Computer Placement Test within the past five years. b. Taken and passed CTS 060 with a C or better within the past five years. c. Achieved a B or better in Computer Apps I or Digital Comm. in high school within the past three years. 2. Students applying for graduation from any program at Cleveland Community College that requires computer courses (CIS, CTS, DBA, NET, NOS, SEC, WEB, or another computer related course prefix) may, at the discretion of the department, be required to

Academic Regulations • 33

retake computer courses that are more than five years old. The following programs adhere to the Five-Year Technology Rule: Degree Programs x Biotechnology x Business Administration x Business Administration - Banking and Finance x Business Administration - Marketing and Retailing x Computer Information Technology x Criminal Justice x Information Systems Security x Medical Office Administration x Networking Technology x Office Administration x Office Administration - Legal x Radiography Diploma Programs x Business Administration - Marketing and Retailing x Medical Transcription x Office Administration x Office Administration - Legal Certificate Programs x Business Administration - Foundations of Business I x Cisco Networking x Computer Training and Support x Data Management x Information Systems Security x Medical Office Administration - Basic Certificate x Medical Office Administration - Intermediate Certificate x Microsoft Networking x Office Administration x Project Management x Unix/Linux Networking x Web Multimedia and Design x Wireless Networking

Course Audits A student may elect to audit a course or courses by completing the appropriate form in Student Services. Those auditing receive no credit and do not have to take any examina- tions; otherwise, participation in class is on the same basis as a credit student. An audit does not meet course co/pre-requisite requirements. The fee for auditing is the same as the fee for credit. By completing the appropriate form in Student Services and notifying the appropriate instructor, a student may change a course classification from credit to audit until the 75% point of the term in which he/she is enrolled in the course. Students may

34 • Academic Regulations

change from audit to credit classification for an enrolled course during the Add Period only. The Add Period is posted in Student Services each term.

Course Substitutions Course substitutions are rarely given; however, in special circumstances, students may ask his or her academic advisor to approve a course substitution. All course substitutions should be approved prior to enrolling in the course. Approvals must be obtained from the advisor, the department chair, the appropriate academic dean, and the Vice President of Academic Programs. Any course substituted must have academic relevance to the course it will replace and to the curriculum for which the student is enrolled. The total number of hours in each category of the "Course and Hour Requirements" as listed in the Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook must also be satisfied. A completed Approval for Course Substitution form must be submitted to Student Services for placement in the student’s academic file. No more than ten (10) percent of the total credit hours required in a degree, diploma, or certificate program may be substituted except in unusual circumstances.

Credit Hours, Contact Hours, and Course Load Each course listed in the course description section of this Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook is followed by a notation for the number of semester hours credit it carries. Normally, the number of semester hours earned is based on the number of class, labora- tory or shop hours spent under the supervision of the course instructor per week for the semester. Usually one (1) semester hour credit is given for each hour of class per week, or for each two hours of laboratory or shop per week. Contact hours are the number of actual clock hours a student is in attendance during one week. Students enrolled for 12 or more credit hours are classified as full-time students. Students enrolled in less than 12 credit hours are classified as part time.

Student Academic Record The College maintains student records, housed in Student Services, in accordance with state law, College policy, the USA Patriot Act, Solomon Amendment and the Family Edu- cational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended. The College maintains accurate and confidential records for each student to preserve authentic evidence of the events and actions that are important and can contribute to the efforts to educate the stu- dent and to facilitate the achievement of the educational goals of the College. The transcript is the statement of official academic record of the student, including all at- tempted courses, credits, grades, and current and cumulative Grade Point Average. An official transcript may be released by the student upon written request to Student Ser- vices. Current students may view their unofficial transcript via MyCleveland. The College will not release a transcript unless all tuition, fees, and other obligations due to the Col- lege have been resolved. Educational Record and Privacy Rights The College, in accordance with existing state and federal laws, reaffirms the rights of students to access their official educational record and to challenge the accuracy of such information. The College limits the release of personally identifiable data, other than di- rectory information, without explicit student consent.

Academic Regulations • 35

The educational record includes, but is not limited to, a copy of the original application for admission, transcript(s) of previous educational records, statement of residency (from application or otherwise), placement test results, Student Data Change forms, duplicates of other forms completed by the student, and copies of correspondence between the Col- lege and the student. Information identified as public or directory information may be released without the stu- dent’s consent for purpose deemed beneficial to the student by College officials or to re- main in compliance with the Solomon Amendment. Directory information is defined as the student’s name, local address, date of birth, age, email address, major field of study, de- grees and honors received, dates of enrollment and current enrollment status. Students who do not wish any or all of the above information be released to outside agencies must notify Student Services in writing at time of registration. The request for nondisclosure of directory information should be renewed each semester. Students are notified annually of their rights under FERPA through the Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook. Also, students may inspect and review their educational record upon a letter of request submitted to Student Services identifying the record to inspect. A student may ask for amendment of a record that is believed to be inaccurate or mislead- ing. The student should make the request in writing to Student Services. The request should clearly identify the part of the record to be changed and should specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. Security and Confidentiality Policy The following persons or groups are authorized access to official records without student consent: 1. College faculty members and other College officials with legitimate educational inter- ests. 2. College officials of other institutions in which the student seeks or intends to enroll. 3. Authorized representatives of federal, state, or local government. 4. Accrediting organization in order to carry out their accrediting functions. 5. The privacy rights of an individual expire with that individual’s death. Accordingly, the disposition of records held by the College and pertaining to a deceased individual is not a FERPA issue but a matter of institutional policy. The College requires that an in- dividual seeking records on a deceased student must complete the release form, sub- mit an official death certificate, and submit documentation proving the requester is ei- ther a parent or guardian of the deceased student or an executor/executrix of the de- ceased student’s estate. Records of Request and Disclosures The student must submit a written request to Student Services and specify the records to be released, the purpose of the disclosure, and the party and address to which infor- mation is to be released. All requests must have the student’s signature, or appropriate electronic authorization, in the space provided for signature. Furthermore, Student Ser- vices will release a transcript of a student’s academic record only upon written request of the student. The request for the transcript release must bear the signature, or appropriate electronic authorization, of the student along with identifying information. The College maintains records of request and disclosures of personally identifiable infor- mation. The records of requests include the names and addresses of the person who re- quested the information and their legitimate interest in the information. The records of disclosures and request for disclosures are considered part of students’ academic rec-

36 • Academic Regulations

ords; therefore, records of disclosures and request for disclosures must follow the student record retention policy. A student who is indebted to the College is not eligible to receive a transcript or docu- mentation of a credential. A student has the right to see and photocopy the official record upon request. Student Record Retention Each student transcript, grade sheet, and grade change request is a permanent document of the College and will be maintained indefinitely. All other student records are maintained in accordance with the Records and Retention and Disposition schedule approved by the North Carolina Community College System in accordance with provisions of the General Statues of North Carolina.

USA Patriot Act Cleveland Community College complies with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001.

High School Students Concurrent Enrollment Programs High School students are eligible to enroll in courses through Concurrent Enrollment programs. The College follows the eligibility requirements and procedures outlined by the North Carolina Community College System. High School students must meet the Col- lege's admissions and placement procedures as stated in the current Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook prior to enrolling in Career and College Promise and/or Articulated Credit. Career and College Promise Career and College Promise provides seamless, tuition-free, concurrent enrollment edu- cational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students. The purpose of Career and College Promise is to offer structured opportunities for qualified high school students to enroll in community college courses that provide pathways that lead to a cer- tificate, diploma, or degree as well as provide entry-level jobs skills. Academic credits earned through Career and College Promise shall enable students who continue into postsecondary education after graduating from high school to complete a postsecondary credential in less time than would normally be required. Career and College Promise provides the following pathways for students while they are still in high school: x College Transfer Pathway leading to a minimum of 30 hours of college credit. If you are a junior or senior planning to attend a four-year college after high school, this pathway will allow you to complete some of the core general education classes re- quired during the first two years of a four-year degree. x Career Technical Pathway leading to a certificate, diploma, or degree.

Articulated Credit Articulation is a systematic, seamless student transition process from secondary to post- secondary education that maximizes use of resources and minimizes content duplication. Students will make a seamless transition of identified courses from secondary to post- secondary education. The following criteria will be used to award college credit for identi- fied high school courses: 1. Enroll in a member institution of the NCCCS authorized to offer the applicable college courses within two years of their high school graduation. 2. Submit a completed Articulation Credit Request form to Student Services for pro- cessing. 3. Submit an official secondary transcript to determine the college credit to be awarded. 4. Receive a grade of "B" or higher in the course. 5. Be "proficient" in the course by receiving a Level II on the Career Technical Education course post-assessment or receive national certification from the National Center for Construction Education Research (NCCER). This requirement will not apply when the course post-assessment is a "state field test" from the NC Department of Public In- struction. To receive articulated credit, students must enroll at the community college within two years of their high school graduation date. Please visit the Articulated Credit webpage on our website at www.clevelandcc.edu to obtain the Articulated Credit Request form and additional information.

Cooperative Education Cooperative Education (Co-op) is designed to give students enrolled in many programs within the College a chance to work on a job while completing their degrees. This combi- nation of classroom instruction with practical/related work experience provides numerous benefits to participating students. Eligibility is for any student enrolled in programs offering Co-op for academic credit and who has earned a minimum of 9 hours. The 9 hours of credit must be completed within the appropriate program of study (with a minimum of 3 Semester Hours Credit from the core within the major). Co-op students are required to

38 • Academic Regulations

attend orientation before they report to the Co-op worksite. To be eligible to participate a student must meet the following criteria: 1. Approval of instructor/coordinator 2. A minimum grade point average is required 3. Approval from program director Academic Credit Credit hours for cooperative education work periods are as follows: AAS 8 Semester Hours Credit Diploma 4 Semester Hours Credit Certificate 2 Semester Hours Credit College Transfer (AA, AS, AFA) 1 Semester Hour Credit Co-op students may earn from one to eight semester hours of Co-op credit toward their degree, diploma, or certificate (see individual curriculum programs for the number of elec- tive hours available). Co-op courses will only count toward graduation requirements for specific programs. The cooperative education student must adhere to all policies and procedures of the Col- lege and the work site to which the student has been assigned. Failure to abide by Col- lege policies and procedures and/or the policies and procedures required by the work site may result in expulsion from the cooperative education course and subsequent failure of the course.

Distance Learning Distance Learning allows students to make their course schedule more flexible. Students will use a web-browser to login to Cleveland Community College's course-management system. Our course-management system is designed to allow students and faculty to par- ticipate in classes delivered online or use online materials and activities to complement face-to-face teaching. The course-management system enables instructors to provide students with course materials, discussion boards, virtual chat, online quizzes, an aca- demic resource center, and more. The degree to which a course-management system is used in a course varies. For example, instructors may supplement an on-campus class by putting their syllabus and handouts on their course sites. In contrast, other courses may be conducted entirely through the course-management system, without any on-campus sessions. Online Courses Prerequisite Students must adhere to all admission policies of the College and prerequisite require- ments of individual courses. Online courses have a prerequisite of RED 090 or ENG 095/095A or DRE 097 or previous successful completion of online courses. Online Courses (OL) 401 Online courses are conducted through the Internet from home, office or campus. Online courses do require intensive reading and a high level of self-discipline, strong study habits and technical skills for successful completion. Orientation is included in the course-management system during the first week of class. Hybrid Courses (HY) 301 - 399 Hybrid courses are a blend of face-to-face instruction and online delivery - (51% online and 49% on campus). Orientation is included in the course-management system during the first week of class.

Academic Regulations • 39

NC Information Highway Courses (IH) NCIH courses are delivered over the North Carolina Information Highway. The campus NCIH classroom allows instructors to teach students at distant sites and/or allows stu- dents to be able to receive instruction from a remote site. Students can interact with the instructor and other students through video monitors, microphones, faxes, telephone, and other devices. This enables face-to-face instruction, discussion, collaboration, and prob- lem solving. NCIH also allows the college to import courses giving students access to classes that may not be available locally. Some IH instructors will use a course-management system as a way to distribute and receive course information. WB Web-Assisted Courses (WB) 201-299 Web-Assisted courses are on-campus, seated courses that are web assisted. These courses meet primarily face-to-face at regularly scheduled times as outlined on the course syllabus. However, a portion of the course will be administered through a course-management system. Orientation is included in the course-management system during the first week of class.

Developmental Courses Developmental courses are designed to provide instruction in the basic skills to ensure a student will be successful in regular, collegiate-level courses. These courses earn credit hours for the term in which they are taken and do not count toward graduation. Grades for developmental courses are P for Passed or R for Repeat. These grades are not com- puted with other courses in the current or cumulative GPA, nor are they used in the com- putation to determine Dean’s List, President’s List, Graduation High Honors or Graduation Honors. Developmental courses must be passed with a grade of "P" before students can enroll in higher level English, reading, and mathematics courses. Please read the Admis- sions section of the Academic Bulletin and Student Handbook to determine who may be required to take developmental courses. Developmental course absences are counted in the 10% maximum.

Transfer Credit The Transfer Credit Committee will determine transfer credits from other colleges and universities. Whenever possible, all transfer students will receive a letter stating the official record of transcript or official record of test scores has been evaluated and appropriate credit awarded. Students are encouraged to contact an advisor for proper course place- ment. Cleveland Community College permits admission with transfer credit for students from accredited colleges and universities. Students must have official (original and sealed) col- lege transcripts and/or official record of test scores sent to Cleveland Community College for evaluation. Courses accepted for transfer credit must closely parallel those for which credit is sought at the College. For a course to be considered for transfer, the student must have earned a "C" or higher. Transfer credit is not awarded for course work taken on a non-credit basis or for credits based upon testing or examinations given by another col- lege or university. Evaluation is made by the Transfer Credit Committee. Grades and quality points do not transfer. For program completion in associate degree, diploma, and certificate programs, at least 25 percent of the required hours for graduation must be earned at Cleveland Community College.

40 • Academic Regulations

Transfer Credit From Cleveland Community College A student who desires to transfer course work from Cleveland Community College's As- sociate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Fine Arts degree programs to a four-year college or university should refer to specific college or university websites. If transferring to one of the public universities in North Carolina, students should refer to the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. This statewide agreement gov- erns the transfer of credits between North Carolina community colleges and public univer- sities in North Carolina. Associate in Applied Science degree programs are not planned as transfer programs; however, some colleges do accept courses for credit toward the bachelor's degree. Most of these colleges consider the applicant's record individually, and the courses for which credit is sought must be similar to the course(s) offered by that institution. Some colleges give credit on the basis of examinations. Any student interested in pursuing that possibility should talk with the department chair of the planned major field at the college to which transfer is desired.

Credit by Examination Students who can document their proficiencies in a subject area may request Credit by Examination. Students are allowed one opportunity to take the Credit by Examination for a College level credit course at the 100 or higher level. A student who has previously en- rolled in the course is not eligible. Only full-time faculty who teach a given course or the discipline coordinator may award Credit by Examination for that course. The examination should meet all student learning outcomes for the course in which the student is seeking credit. A grade of "CE" will be awarded if a "C" or better is earned on the examination. The testing instructor’s decision is final. Any exceptions to these procedures must have prior approval by the Vice President of Academic Programs and Vice President of Student Ser- vices. "CE" credit will contribute toward graduation requirements; however, the grade will not be included in the calculation of the grade point average. "CE" credit is not transferable and is not covered by the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). Students requesting Credit by Examination must use the following procedure: 1. Students must be accepted to the program containing the course in which Credit by Examination is requested. 2. Students must complete the Credit by Examination form with the appropriate in- structor or discipline coordinator. 3. The testing instructor or discipline coordinator will submit the form to the appropri- ate academic dean for further processing. 4. Students may not receive Credit by Examination for more than 20% of the total number of credits required for the program.

Credit for Experiential Learning Cleveland Community College endorses the concept of credit for experiential learning in recognition of valid learning experiences to areas which are applicable to the de- gree/diploma/certificate program being completed. Credit is not extended automatically. To receive credit for experiential learning, a student must submit to the appropriate faculty member, Student Services, and the appropriate Academic Dean a typed summary of ex- periences learned, proof that the experiences did occur (letter from employer detailing experience) and demonstrate skills learned (if requested). The Academic Dean, after

consultation with Student Services, may grant full credit for a comparable course(s) as a transfer course(s). The student will receive hours earned on the official CCC transcript with a grade of "EL." The hours will be computed towards graduation requirements but not for the computation of honors nor the overall GPA. There is no charge for receiving this credit. A student may not receive credit for Experiential Learning for more than 20% of the total number of credits required for the program. A student must be enrolled during term "EL" is awarded.

Credit by Credential In cases where the learning outcomes of a current, industry-recognized credential align with the learning outcomes of a course(s), credit may be given. Credit may be given for adequately documented and validated courses and industry-recognized credentials. These courses and credentials must be pre-approved by the Curriculum Committee and other subject matter experts based on content and outcomes. All program completion requirements must be met. Students should contact Student Services to determine if a credential qualifies for academic credit.

Outstanding Graduate Awards These awards are made to graduating students who have distinguished themselves by being most outstanding in terms of scholastic achievement, performance and maturity of purpose during the program of instruction at the College. The program faculty may select one student to be recognized for each degree, diploma, or certificate program each year.

Indicators of Student Success In February 1999, the NC State Board of Community Colleges adopted 12 performance measures for accountability. This action was taken in response to a mandate from the North Carolina General Assembly to review past performance measures and define standards of performance to ensure programs and services offered by community colleg- es in North Carolina were of sufficient quality. In the 2007 Session, the General Assembly approved modifications to the NC Community College Performance Measures and Standards as adopted by the NC State Board of Community Colleges on March 16, 2007. As a result, the number of performance measures was reduced to 8. The following table is a Summary Report of the achievement of those performance measures for the System’s 58 colleges for the 2010-2011 College Year.

Harassment of any employee or student based on sex, race, color, creed, religion, nation- al origin, citizenship status, age, disability, marital status, or any other legally protected status is a form of discrimination and violates the law and CCC policy. Harassment that may result in a decision affecting status, promotions, raises, favorable work assignments, recommendations, class assignments, grades; or tolerance of such behavior, on the part of any administrator, faculty member, staff member, or student is a violation of College policy. Harassment is prohibited and will not be tolerated. Students or employees found in viola- tion shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including suspension, expulsion from the College, or termination of employment. Harassment is based on individual perceptions and depends on how the person being harassed is affected – not the harasser’s intent. Harassment is defined as verbal or physical conduct that is unwarranted or offensive to the individual; or makes the individual feel uncomfortable or threatened; or negatively af- fects the job or classroom performance of the individual.

Student Rights The rights of students as citizens are acknowledged and reaffirmed. The College recog- nizes the right of an enrolled student to receive a full opportunity to learn and develop, unfettered by any and all obstacles not conducive to a sound, fundamental educational program.

Student Complaint Procedure Cleveland Community College is committed to mutual respect among all stakeholders of the College community. The College provides an equitable and orderly process to resolve grievances. A grievance exists in any situation in which students feel there has been a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of an existing College policy including com- plaints alleging discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability, or other personal characteristics. A student who has a grievance against a faculty or staff member should take the following steps: 1. The student should first attempt to resolve the situation with the instructor or staff member with whom the alleged problem originated. An attempt should be made to re- solve the matter at this level. 2. If the grievance is not resolved, the student may file a written grievance. A grievance form shall be made available to the student by the Vice President of Student Services. The Vice President of Student Services will then refer the grievance to the supervi- sor(s) involved. The supervisor shall respond to the student within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievance form. 3. If the decision of the supervisor(s) does not satisfy the grievant, a request to appear before the Grievance Committee shall be made. Students should follow the appeal procedures listed under Non-Academic Appeal Procedures (6.5.5) or Academic Appeal Procedures (6.5.6) as appropriate.

Non-Academic Appeals Procedure A student who does not agree with the decision of the Vice President of Student Services may make an appeal to the Grievance Committee. This request must be submitted in writing to the Vice President of Student Services within three (3) working days of the Vice President’s decision. The Vice President shall refer the matter to the Grievance Commit- tee together with a report of the nature of the alleged misconduct, the name of the com- plainant, the name of the student against whom the charge has been filed, and the rele- vant facts revealed by the Vice President’s investigation. At the discretion of the Vice President of Student Services, a student may be allowed to attend class until the appeal is resolved. Appeal to the President A student who does not agree with the decision of the Grievance Committee may appeal in writing to the President within two weeks of the Grievance Committee's decision. The appeals process ends with the President's decision.

Academic Appeals Procedure Grade Appeals Students have the right to ask an instructor for an explanation of any grade received. Students should be aware that establishing course requirements and assignments, evalu- ating a student’s work, and assigning a grade are the responsibility and the prerogative of the individual instructor. In the event the final grade received in a course was assigned in

54 • Student Services

a manner inconsistent with the course syllabus, or was assigned using a method other than that used to compute other students’ grades in that course, the matter may be re- solved through the grade appeal procedure. It should be noted, the student bears the burden of proving there are sufficient grounds for changing a grade. The right to appeal a grade expires as follows: 1. A grade received in the Fall Semester must be appealed by February 1 of the following semester; 2. A grade received in the Spring Semester must be appealed by June 1 of the following term; and 3. A grade received in the Summer Term must be appealed by September 1 of the fol- lowing semester. The student must request a meeting with the instructor to resolve the grade. The student must explain to the instructor why the student considers the grade to be incorrect. If the instructor is not available, the student must see the discipline/program coordinator or the department chair to schedule an appointment with the instructor.

Financial Aid Information The fundamental purpose of the Financial Aid Program at Cleveland Community College (CCC) is to provide financial assistance, based on financial need, to students who nor- mally could not attend post-secondary school without aid. Financial aid at CCC is based on a needs analysis. The needs analysis used by the College is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form, located online at www.fafsa.gov, must be completed by students applying for financial aid. Additional forms may be required. x Financial aid at CCC consists of scholarships, grants and work study or any combina- tion of these as determined by the Financial Aid Office. x The student or family of the student has the primary responsibility for post-secondary educational cost. Financial aid awarded by the College is based on the need of the student to supplement the family or student contributions. x Recipients of financial aid who withdraw from the College must personally notify the Financial Aid Office of this action. Also, any changes in name, marital status, address, academic program, or enrollment status must be reported to the Financial Aid Office. x The primary purpose of financial aid is to assist the student in receiving an education. To be assured of continued financial aid, students must maintain "satisfactory pro- gress" in accordance with the College’s grading policy, listed in the catalog under "Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards." x Any commitment of federal and state aid is tentative and contingent upon subsequent Congressional and state appropriation and actual receipt of funds by the College. x The Financial Aid Office reserves the right, on behalf of the College, to review and adjust or cancel an award any time there is indication of changes in financial status, academic program, good academic standing, or failure to observe reasonable stand- ards of conduct. x Recipients of financial aid from the College are to notify the Financial Aid Office of any other financial aid extended to them from sources outside the College prior to ac- ceptance of outside aid. x Financial Aid will be adjusted proportionately for less than full-time enrollment. Addi- tional information on enrollment status for a program of study is located online at www.clevelandcc.edu.

66 • Financial Information

Financial Aid Application Process The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be accessed online at www.fafsa.gov. From the web site, applicants follow a series of simple steps to apply for financial aid. Applicants may also pick up a paper FAFSA Worksheet in the Financial Aid Office. The worksheet can be completed prior to accessing the web site and applicants may use it as a guide to aid them during the online application process. All students must complete the FAFSA in order to be considered for federal, state, or institutional financial aid that is based on need. Students are encouraged to complete the application process as soon as income taxes and reports are filed or the source of income has been verified. Students will be notified if the Financial Aid Office requires additional information. Stu- dents should submit the FAFSA on or before the priority deadline for each semester to insure completion of the application process. Please refer to our website or contact the Financial Aid Office for priority deadlines. Students completing the FAFSA on the day of registration are not awarded funds until the application process is complete.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards The Higher Education Act of 1965 mandates institutions of higher education to establish minimum standards of "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) for students receiving financial assistance. These standards are applicable to all financial aid programs including all Federal and State programs. These standards may be amended to comply with federal and state regulations, as well as Institutional and program requirements as applicable.

GPA Requirement Financial aid students must maintain a cumulative grade point average at or above a 2.0 each semester for all college level classes in their program of study.

Progression Requirement Financial aid students are required to successfully complete 67% of the cumulative credit hours attempted each semester in their program of study.

Maximum Time Frame Requirement Financial aid students have a maximum time frame to complete a program of study. The max time frame is calculated at 150% of the established length of the program. At CCC, the 150% time frame will be measured in terms of credit hours attempted.

Student Responsibilities It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of his or her academic standing each semester. The Financial Aid Office will make every effort to notify students of their SAP status and cancellation of awards; however students are responsible for obtaining their grades and determining if they meet the SAP standards. It is the student’s responsi- bility to notify the Financial Aid Office of any grade change made after the official posting of semester grades. NOTE: The SAP Policy for financial aid recipients is different than the College’s satisfactory progress standards as stated in the "Student Responsibilities" sec- tion of the Academic Bulletin & Student Handbook.

Financial Information • 67

Sap Procedures Only grades of A, B, C, D, and CE will be counted as hours successfully attempted and completed. Grades of F, I, AU, and W will not count as hours successfully completed but will count as hours attempted. An Incomplete will not count as hours earned until a suc- cessful grade has been posted.

CCC will evaluate each student’s SAP before awarding financial aid and at the end of each semester. If a student has exceeded the maximum time frame for their program, they will not be able to receive financial aid for that program any longer.

Should either the GPA requirement or the Progression Requirement not be met, the stu- dent will be placed on Financial Aid ‘Warning’ status. Financial Aid ‘Warning’ status means the student can receive financial aid for one additional semester. At the end of the ‘Warning’ semester, the student must be making satisfactory academic progress accord- ing to SAP standards. If the student is not maintaining satisfactory academic progress standards, the student will be placed on Financial Aid ‘Suspension’ status. While on Fi- nancial Aid ‘Suspension’ status a student must pay for classes on their own until satisfac- tory SAP standards are re-established.

Financial aid students who have been placed on Financial Aid ‘Warning’ for one semester, and are not in satisfactory academic standing by the end of that semes- ter, meaning they do not have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and have not earned at least 67% of all courses in their program, will be suspended from receiving financial aid.

If the student is placed on Financial Aid ‘Suspension’ status, but experienced mitigating circumstances which prevented the student from successfully completing courses, it may be possible to apply for a SAP Appeal (Please see SAP Appeals section).

Removal from financial aid will not prevent a student from attending CCC. A student who enrolls at CCC without the benefit of financial aid may request a review of grades after any term completed without the assistance of financial aid to determine if SAP standards have been re-established. Once standards are re-established, eligibility may be reinstated for the next academic term.

Prior Credits x Transfer Students- Credit hours accepted for transfer will be considered as hours at- tempted and successfully completed. x Returning CCC Students- Any prior credits enrolled at CCC that transfer into the stu- dents current program of study, will be calculated in their SAP. All attempted hours are counted in determining the 150% maximum time frame require- ment and the 67% progression requirement for SAP standards, whether financial aid was received for these courses or not.

Remedial Coursework Students who have been accepted into a program of study, and are required to take re- medial coursework as determined by placement testing, are limited to 30 semester hours of remedial coursework.

Course Repeats Financial aid will allow for a student to re-take a previously passed course once.

68 • Financial Information

Program of Study Each student will be allowed to attempt three different programs of study while re- ceiving financial aid. Students must be enrolled in either CCC’s two-year degree pro- grams, one-year diploma programs, or eligible certificate programs (Please check online for a current list of eligible programs).

SAP Appeals A student denied financial aid for failure to meet SAP standards may apply for an appeal. A student may request an appeal based on mitigating circumstances by completing the "Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal" form in the Financial Aid Office.

As part of the appeal form, the student must also provide documentation of the circum- stances that prevented the student from making SAP standards. They must also provide documentation of how the circumstances have been rectified in order for the student to make SAP standards in the future.

All SAP appeals go before the Academic Standing Committee for approval (Please check online for the deadlines for SAP appeals). If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on an academic plan that will ensure the student is able to meet SAP standards according to the Academic Plan (Please see Academic Plan section).

Academic Plan If a student has been granted an appeal, they are placed on an Academic Plan by the Financial Aid Office, which requires students to earn 75% of all hours attempted AND achieve a 2.5 GPA each semester. While on an Academic Plan, if the student fails to earn 75% of all hours attempted or does not achieve a 2.5 GPA, the student will be placed on Financial Aid ‘Suspension’ status. While on Financial Aid ‘Suspension’ a student must pay for classes on their own until satisfactory SAP standards are re-established.

Student Financial Aid Refund Policy Any student withdrawing, or planning to withdraw, or who stops attending class must consult with the Financial Aid Office on any charges that are to be repaid or refunded. (Students must attend beyond the 60% point of each term to be exempt from repay- ments). A student is considered a total withdrawal if the student ceases attendance in all courses at any point prior to completing the payment period or period of enrollment, unless the student submits written confirmation to the school at the time of the withdrawal that he/she will attend a module that begins later in the same payment period or period of enrollment. The last date of attendance is used in the refund calculation. This date is determined by the method of withdrawal. If the student officially withdrawals, the last date of attendance is the date the student notified the school of their withdrawal. If a student stops attending without notification (unofficial withdrawal) the student’s instructor will notify the school of the student’s withdrawal by completing a withdrawal form and indicating the student’s last date of attendance or by indicating the last date of attendance when final grades are turned in. If a student is expelled, the last date of attendance is the date of expulsion. In order for a student to officially withdraw themselves from school, he/she must complete a Student Withdrawal Form. This form can be found online at www.clevelandcc.edu or in

Student Services and must be returned to the Student Services Department before the deadline. CCC enforces a fair and equitable refund policy that follows mandated federal, state, and institutional requirements. The refund policy for Financial Aid students is different than the College’s "Curriculum Tuition Refund" Policy as stated in the in the "Financial Information" section of the Academic Bulletin & Student Handbook. Financial Aid Federal Refund Calculation x Drops before first day of the term equals 100% refund x Withdraws on or before the 60% point of the semester, student may owe an over- payment to CCC and/or the Department of Education. x Withdraws after the 60% point of the semester, student has earned 100% of finan- cial assistance and does not owe any overpayment. There are five steps that need to be followed in determining a refund or overpayment: 1. Determine the percentage of the semester the student attended before withdraw- ing. 2. Determine the amount of Title IV aid earned by the student based on the percent- age of time of enrollment. 3. Compare the amount earned by the student to the amount disbursed or could have been disbursed to the student. If less aid was disbursed than was earned, the stu- dent may receive a post-withdrawal disbursement for the difference. If more aid was disbursed than was earned, determine the amount of Title IV aid that must be returned to the Department of Education. 4. Allocate the responsibility for returning the unearned aid between the school (CCC) and the student. 5. Distribute the unearned aid back to the Title IV programs either by the institution or the student. The amount of assistance a student earns is calculated on a pro-rata basis. For example, if a student completed 40% of the semester, the student would have earned 40% of the financial assistance they were scheduled to receive. Program funds included in the federal refund calculation are: x Federal Pell Grant x Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant Funds are returned in the above order. Each student who owes an overpayment to the Department of Education will be notified by mail within thirty days of the determination of withdrawal date. Students have forty-five days after the student last attended to repay the funds to the institution or Department of Education. If payment is not received within forty-five days, the overpayment will be re- ferred to the Department of Education for collection. The school will return the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 45 days after the date of determi- nation. If a student has an overpayment (monies that must be paid back) and fails to repay that amount to the institution and/or Department of Education, the student loses eligibility for all Title IV program funds. The only way to regain eligibility is to make satisfactory ar- rangements with the institution and/or Department of Education.

70 • Financial Information

All institutional charges will be subject to the refund policy. These charges include tuition, fees, equipment, books, or supplies issued to the student. The only excludable cost of institutional charges are the documented cost of un-returnable equipment, and docu- mented cost of returnable equipment if not returned in good condition within 20 days of the students’ withdrawal. That is to say, students who purchased equip- ment/books/supplies from financial aid sources must return the items in good condition to the Financial Aid Office within 20 days of withdrawal. In addition to receiving a notification from the Financial Aid Office concerning an overpayment to the Department of Education, a student may also receive notifica- tion from the Business Office at CCC concerning payments owed to the College. Students may owe the College additional funds if financial assistance was used in paying for tuition, fees, equipment, books, or supplies during the semester the student withdrew from all classes. Financial Aid State Refund Calculation x Withdraws (Drops) before first day of the term equals 100% refund x Withdraws on or before the 35% point of the semester, student may owe an over- payment to CCC and/or the Department of Education. x Withdraws after the 35% point of the semester, student has earned 100% of finan- cial assistance and does not owe any overpayment. The steps to determining a refund or overpayment is the same as the Federal Refund Calculation. Post-Withdrawal Disbursements If a student has received less aid than they earned, he/she may be eligible for a Post-Withdrawal Disbursement. If a student is eligible for this disbursement, the school will notify the student in writing of the amount they are eligible. The student will have 14 days to accept or decline the disbursement. If an acceptance is not received within this timeframe, the institution will not make the Post-Withdrawal Disbursement to the student. The disbursement will be made within 45 days. Any student withdrawing or anticipating withdrawal should consult with the Financial Aid Department for information on any charges that are to be refunded or repaid. Examples: Example 1: A student is scheduled to complete four courses which span over the entire payment period. The student begins attendance in all courses, but ceases to attend all courses one at a time. The student ceased attending all courses by the fourth week of the payment period. The student is a withdrawal because he/she ceased to attend all courses he/she was scheduled to attend before the sixty percent point of the term. Example 2: A student is scheduled to complete two courses in each of the first two of three modules within a payment period. The student begins attendance in both courses in the first module, but ceases to attend both courses after just a few days and does not confirm that he/she will return to any courses in modules two or three. The student is a withdrawal because he/she ceased to attend courses he/she was scheduled to attend before the sixty percent point of the term. Example 3: A student is scheduled to complete 3 courses which span over the entire payment period. The student begins attendance in all courses, but ceases to attend all courses two weeks before the payment period ended. The student is a withdrawal be- cause he/she ceased to attend all he/she was scheduled to attend, but will not be respon-

sible for returning Title IV funds because he/she ceased attending after the sixty percent point of the term.

Types of Financial Assistance All Financial Aid programs fall into one of three categories: grants, scholarships, or em- ployment. Grants and scholarships are outright gifts of money and do not have to be re- paid. Employment allows the student to work and earn needed money.

Grants Pell Grant All financial aid applicants are required complete the FAFSA. The PELL Grant is a federal student aid entitlement program which provides a foundation of financial assistance to which other forms of aid may be added. The U.S. Department of Education determines the student’s eligibility for financial aid based on the formula developed annually and reviewed by Congress. This formula is ap- plied consistently to all applicants and takes into account income, assets, family size, etc. The formula uses the information provided on the application to produce an eligibility in- dex number which determines the amount of aid to be received. The Student Aid Report (SAR) will be mailed directly to the student approximately four to six weeks after submit- ting their application. The Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) will be received by CCC approximately five to ten days after submission of the electronic application. Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG) SEOG is also a federal program. However, it is not an entitlement program as is the PELL Grant. Recipients are determined by the Financial Aid Office which awards the grant ac- cording to exceptional financial need of the student. North Carolina Community College Grant Students must complete the FAFSA to be eligible for this program. These funds are available to the neediest students who are not eligible for other financial aid programs that fully cover the required educational expenses of the student. Students must meet all re- quirements for a Federal PELL Grant, must be enrolled in an eligible program, must be a North Carolina resident, and must be enrolled at least half-time. North Carolina Education Lottery Scholarship Students must complete the FAFSA to be eligible for this program. These funds are awarded to eligible students who attend community colleges in North Carolina. Recipients must be North Carolina residents who are enrolled at least half-time.

Employment Federal Work Study Program (FWS) A work-study position may be awarded to students (enrolled at least half-time) demon- strating an unmet need. This program allows students to earn a portion of the cost of their education. Work-study participants will work a supervised schedule, usually 20-25 hours per week. Job descriptions outline the responsibilities of the assigned work study. Work Study applications are available in the Financial Aid Office. Students are encouraged to apply each academic year.

American Opportunity Credit The American Opportunity Tax Credit modifies the existing Hope Credit for tax years 2009 and 2010 under ARRA. The credit was extended to apply for tax years 2011 and 2012 by the Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2010. The new credit makes the Hope Credit available to a broader range of taxpayers, including many with higher incomes and those who owe no tax. It also adds required course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four post-secondary education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum annual credit of $2,500 per stu- dent. The full credit is available to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, or $160,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these levels. These income limits are higher than under the existing Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits.

Lifetime Learning Credit For the tax year, you may be able to claim a lifetime learning credit of up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses paid for all students enrolled in eligible educational institu- tions. There is no limit on the number of years the lifetime learning credit can be claimed for each student. However, a taxpayer cannot claim both the Hope or American oppor- tunity credit and lifetime learning credits for the same student in one year. Thus, the life- time learning credit may be particularly helpful to graduate students, students who are only taking one course and those who are not pursuing a degree. Generally, you can claim the lifetime learning credit if all three of the following require- ments are met: x You pay qualified education expenses of higher education. x You pay the education expenses for an eligible student. x The eligible student is either yourself, your spouse or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your tax return.

College Transfer Programs A large number of students plan their programs for transfer to four-year colleges or uni- versities. Students enroll in what is usually referred to as the transfer curriculum which offers courses that parallel those offered during the first two years at a four-year institu- tion. Most credits earned in this curriculum may be transferred to colleges and universities as the first and second years of a baccalaureate degree program. Cleveland Community College’s transfer program includes many courses designed to prepare students for upper division study in such fields as business, education, engineer- ing, dentistry, law, and medicine. A specially designed general transfer sequence of courses (Associate in Arts or Associate in Science) is also available for students who have not yet decided upon a major but who intend to transfer their credits to a four-year institution. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university are advised to give careful attention to the following: 1. The transferability of courses taken at Cleveland Community College is determined solely by the institution to which the student transfers. Curricula and courses have been developed to facilitate transfer of credits. However, some academic departments in four-year institutions have specific requirements which warrant special attention. 2. Students are responsible for meeting the entrance requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer. Students should work with their faculty advisors to ensure that the courses meet the requirements of the four-year program that they wish to en- ter. 3. Completion time for college transfer studies should be no longer than four semesters. 4. Because of schedules and personal situations, night students may need longer periods than two years to complete their studies. Students enrolled in the college transfer program will earn the Associate in Arts or Associ- ate in Science degree after completing the prescribed hours of study. Upon completion of college transfer programs, the student should: 1. Write and speak with clarity and precision, in keeping with the rules of standard Eng- lish. 2. Read and interpret literature critically and analytically. 3. Write critically and analytically in response to literary themes and ideas. 4. Understand the relationship between the history of western civilization and one’s cul- ture. 5. Understand the meaning of the "multicultural" approach to history. 6. Understand sociological principles and concepts. 7. Understand one’s culture, the cultures of others, and their influences on individual and group behavior. 8. Understand major psychological theories and their effects on individual and group be- havior. 9. Understand mathematical and scientific principles and concepts. 10. Use logical reasoning to solve mathematical and scientific problems. 11. Understand, appreciate, and enjoy physical activity and its role in enhancing the quality of one’s life.

Other Required Hours (20-21 SHC) * At certain UNC institutions, EDU 216 Foundations of Education and EDU 221 Children with Exceptional may fulfill major requirements; at a majority of institutions the courses will transfer as free electives. Students should check with the university to which they intend to transfer for the local transfer policy regarding EDU 216 and EDU 221. * It is recommended that within the 20 semester hours of "Other Required Hours," pre-education students in Middle Grades Education select courses that will help meet two of the four corollary studies areas (Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and Language Arts) in order to be consistent with NC licensure areas. These courses should be selected in conjunc- tion with the requirements at each university, since available academic concentrations and their specific requirements differ on each campus. Some institutions of higher education require that the two areas be Science and Mathematics or Social Studies and Language Arts. Others allow the student to choose any two of the four areas. * It is recommended that pre-major Middle Grades Education students not choose additional courses in Art, Communications, Foreign Languages, Music, or Physical Education.
