4 The Community College of Aurora (CCA) offers a pathway to lifelong learning – start here to earn your associate’s degree or certificate then transfer to a four-year institution to finish with your bachelor’s degree. Begin now, live your dream today! CCA is a global community. Over 100 countries are represented in our student popula- tion, providing a rich educational experience. Students draw on the wealth of experi- ence of their fellow students who come from a variety of backgrounds and ages. The college responds to the needs and interests of persons in the surrounding community who desire to enhance their occupational, intellectual, cultural, social or personal de- velopment. Faculty and staff at CCA are committed to creating an environment that is open, caring and honest for our students. The faculty at CCA are selected on the basis of their education and preparation to teach, their teaching experience and their commitment to student success. CCA hires faculty members who are not only extremely well-qualified, but who care profoundly about the students they serve. While our faculty members maintain high standards for students, again and again they demonstrate their commitment to students by going the extra mile to help them achieve these standards. Data show that when our students transfer to four-year schools, they earn higher grades than those students who began their collegiate experience at that school. This speaks well for the quality of CCA’s faculty. Our friendly and courteous staff provides excellent customer service, easing the stress many new students feel starting their college education straight out of high school or after a prolonged absence. We specialize in offering classes at convenient times and locations to meet any stu- dent’s schedule, including hundreds of Internet, hybrid and evening/weekend classes. Welcome to the Our students may choose from over 40 degrees and certificates in transfer and oc- cupational education. CCA has programs in computer information systems, emergency Community College medical services, paralegal/criminal justice, police training and film video technology. In addition, CCA has strong focus areas in science and technology, leading to careers of Aurora in health, pharmacy and diesel power mechanics. Our core classes are guaranteed to transfer to Colorado public colleges and universities. If needed, students can acquire the skills for college-level classes by taking developmental classes in English, reading and math. Our English as a Second Language classes also prepare students for college programs. Our tuition and fees are only half of what students pay for the same education at most public or private colleges and universities. The Financial Aid department can help stu- dents find necessary sources to fund their education. OUR MISSION The Community College of Aurora provides lifelong educational opportunities, prepares the current and future workforce, and promotes excellence in teaching, learning and service to our diverse community. In accordance with its assigned mission as a comprehensive community college, the Community College of Aurora offers quality programs and services in the following categories: Academic Transfer The Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of General Studies degree programs are transferable to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. Technical Education The Associate of Applied Science degree programs and related certificate programs provide occupational education for students who are seeking job preparation, career mobility or job retraining. The college also offers on-site workforce development and customized training for business and industry. 5 General Studies The Associate of General Studies degrees provide education that strengthens the academic background of the students and prepares them to pursue their educational and career goals. Community Needs Student Support Services The college assists students in selecting, entering, continuing, and completing their course of study through academic advising and student support services. OUR VALUES Respect, Collaboration, Quality, Access, Diversity and Inclusion LIFELONG SKILLS The Community College of Aurora faculty has identified a common set of six skills for student success in every aspect of life. These skills are foundational for everyone, whether pursuing educational goals, resolving personal issues, or maneuvering the intricacies of the workplace. The college assesses student learning of these skills to improve the quality of education. The six skills are: Communication • Critical inquiry Intra/interpersonal responsibility • Technology Quantitative reasoning • Aesthetic perception CCA OFFERS CONVENIENTLY STRUCTURED CLASSES Hybrid Classes Welcome to the Hybrid classes offer the convenience of an Internet course with the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the instructor and classmates. Although all of the work can be done Community College through the Internet, scheduled meeting times will be published for each course. There may be mandatory on-site meetings for some courses to take mid-term or final exami- nations and/or complete assignments. of Aurora Online (Internet) Learning Internet courses are taught via the World Wide Web site and email. Most of these courses run on a semester basis, although a limited number run as condensed courses each semester. Internet courses generally do not have on-campus requirements although they may require proctored exams. Information sheets for internet courses are available online at www.CCAurora.edu/programs/infosheets during registration each semester. For more information, contact 303-340-7221. Self-Paced Courses Self-paced math and reading classes are designed for students who work well in a non- traditional setting. These classes provide one-on-one instruction which allows students to work at their own pace. Self-paced computer classes are Internet-based classes that offer weekly face-to-face contact with instructors and with other class members. Students may enroll in and start the class through the add/drop deadline; however, all work must be completed by the end of the term or as specified in the course syllabus. Weekend College Weekend College classes are intended for students who may not be able to attend classes on weekdays as well as for those who may wish to complete a degree or certifi- cate in a shorter period of time. Classes in the Weekend College may not meet every weekend. The first class will detail information about additional class sessions and course requirements. Consult the Schedule of Classes for a complete list of Weekend College classes and meeting dates.

Students must continue to meet eligibility criteria and must reapply for financial aid in a timely manner each academic year. If a student withdraws, drops or changes from credit to audit status, the student may be required to repay a portion of the financial aid received. Students should check with the CCA Financial Aid office before changing enrollment status. Students receiving need-determined financial aid must maintain satisfactory, measurable progress each semester. This is described in detail in the next section.

Standards of Satisfactory Progress Requirements and Procedures (Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy) Each institution that receives Title IV Admissions, funds is required by the U.S. Depart- ment of Education, Section 132 of the Registration, and Higher Education Amendment of 1976, to define and enforce standards for satisfac- Records tory academic progress. Satisfactory academic progress measures a student’s performance in the following three areas: completion rate, grade point average (GPA) and maximum time frame. The Financial Aid office is responsible for establishing and monitoring a standard of “satisfactory academic progress” for continuation of financial aid eligibility. The full policy is available online at www. CCAurora.edu/finaid

If circumstances beyond the student’s control prevent the student from completing a test or assignments at the end of the term, then it is the student’s responsibility to initiate the request for an “Incomplete” grade from the instructor. The instructor will determine whether the student has a reasonable chance of satisfactory completing the remaining course activities in a timely manner. In requesting an “Incomplete” grade, the student must present to the instructor the documentation of circumstances justifying the “Incomplete” grade. The instructor will complete and sign an “Incomplete Grade Contract” and will submit it to the Enrollment Services office with the final grades for the semester. The Enrollment Services office will send Academic Standards, a copy of the “Incomplete Grade Contract” to the student. The instructor must assign an Incomplete Grade on the regular grade roster in a timely fashion. Students are encouraged to let instructors know, as soon as possible, if they are having difficulties with any part of the Information, course. If the student and instructor cannot reach a resolution concerning an Incomplete grade, then the student should contact the instructional department chair or dean.

Grade Point Average Calculation Grade points indicate the achievement of the student for the number of credits completed. To calculate a grade point average, multiply the credits by the points for the grade earned, total the credits and points, and then divide the grade points by the credits. SAMPLE Course Description Credits Grade Points ANT 111 Physical Anthropology 3 A 12 (3x4) BIO 201 Human Anatomy and Physiology I 4 A 16 (4x4) CSC 116 Logic and Program Design 3 B 9 (3x3) ENG 121 English Composition I 3 D 3 (3x1) POS 111 American National Government 3 F 0 (3x0)

Total 16 40 Grades awarded for developmental courses will not be included in a student’s grade point average (GPA). Grading for developmental courses will utilize the Developmental grade mode (S/A, S/B, S/C, U/D, U/F). The credits will count toward earned and attempted credits. GPAs for term recognition such as President’s List, Vice President’s List, and Dean’s List will not include developmental courses in the calculation. Total grade points divided by total credits equals the cumulative grade point average. Therefore, the grade point average for the above example would be 40 divided by 16, or 2.50. A = 4 grade points • B = 3 grade points • C = 2 grade points • D = 1 grade point: • F = 0 grade points
