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 Commerce 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 commissioned 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 October 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 construction 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 Petty 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 August 1, 1990. During years 1995, 1996, and 1997 the College pursued an extensive reengineering process to completely redesign every course and every program of study in order to accommodate 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 building 8 • General Information 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 referendum for the North Carolina Community College System and the University of North Carolina System. Cleveland Community College’s share was approximately $5 million-$3.8 million for new construction and $1.2 million for repairs and renovation. In December 2001, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools reaffirmed the College’s accreditation for the next 11 years. 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 Southeast. The Emergency Training Center provides a higher quality and variety of training for volunteer and professional firefighters, rescue workers, EMS personnel and law enforcement 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 Cleveland 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 newest addition to the CCC campus is the Bailey Allied Health and Science Center. This state of the art building houses CCC’s allied health programs including biotechnology, radiography and nursing programs. Also finding a new home in this center is the John O. Harris Studio for C19 TV as well as faculty offices and classrooms. The next building set for groundbreaking in 2010 will be the LeGrand Center. This $12.9 million, 84,000 square-foot building will provide offices and classroom space for CCC’s Continuing Education Department and Workforce Development, Cleveland Early College High School, and much needed space for Cleveland County’s economic development, travel and tourism. On July 1, 2010, CCC will celebrate 45 years of Building Futures for the citizens of Cleveland County.

ADDITIONAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME SCHOOL GRADUATES
Home school graduates must complete the following prior to enrollment at Cleveland Community College:
1. The home school administrator must provide evidence that the home school is abiding by laws regulating home schools in North Carolina and is currently registered with the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education. This means that the administrator must have a school approval number, a charter for the school, or anything that denotes approval from the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education and provide copies of this information with the applications. 2. The home school administrator must submit an official transcript from the home school. (Note that Cleveland Community College does not accept transcripts from non-accredited correspondence schools.)
If the home school administrator does not have the proper certifications, the student cannot apply and register as a college student at CCC.
Home school graduates without proper certification may enroll by first obtaining the GED. The student may arrange to take the GED examination by contacting the Learning Center at CCC. Academic Regulations • 19 SPECIAL CREDIT CLASSIFICATION Special credit students are those who are enrolled for course credit but not in a curriculum leading to the diploma, certificate, or to the associate degree. Students enrolled in this status will normally be required to meet the prerequisites for the course or to demonstrate a necessary level of competence although they do not have to meet all the admission requirements for curriculum programs.
READMISSION Any student who officially withdraws from the College and later wishes readmission should contact Student Services. Readmission conditions will depend upon the individual circumstances, but generally a student is eligible to return at such a time as an appropriate course schedule can be worked out. Students who wish to reapply to an Allied Health program must see the Allied Health Admissions Counselor. Students who qualify may be readmitted to the Practical Nursing or the Associate Degree Nursing program only once. A former student will not be readmitted until all former and current expense obligations to any program or activity under the administrative jurisdiction of the College have been satisfied. Any student who is financially indebted to the College by failure to completely meet any outstanding debt such as the following: bad check, tuition, bookstore, library, activity fee, graduation, parking fines, or any required payment to the College will not be eligible for readmission or graduation nor acquire any transcript until such indebtedness is completely cleared. A returning student with disposed records must resubmit high school and all other previously attended college transcripts. Students who have been academically suspended may enroll again after a one-term absence. Allied health students who have been academically suspended must confer with the Allied Health Admissions Counselor.
20 • Academic Regulations ACADEMIC REGULATIONS DROP-ADD AND CLASS SCHEDULE CHANGE
Students may add courses, drop courses, and change their course schedules during the drop/ add period. The drop/add period is posted in Student Services. Some course adds may require instructor/dean approval.
PROCEDURE TO DROP A COURSE(S)
Official drops may be processed with an advisor or in the Student Services Department. Students may drop a course(s) prior to or on the official 10% point of the term. The course(s) is deleted from the student’s registration and will not appear on the student’s official transcript.
PROCEDURE TO ADD A COURSE(S)
Students must see an advisor during the publicized registration dates to add a course(s). The new working copy registration form must be processed in the Business Office for payment.
PROCEDURE TO WITHDRAW FROM A COURSE(S) Students desiring to withdraw from a course(s) after the 10% point of the term should go to the Student Services Department to complete the official Withdrawal Form. Withdrawal with a grade of “W” will be allowed after the 10% point of the term and before the 75% point of the standard or nonstandard term. A standard term is sixteen weeks. A course(s) which was officially withdrawn from will show on a student’s transcript as a grade of “W.” Students who stop attending a course(s) and who are not officially withdrawn or whose absences exceed the allowed maximum during the last 25% of the term will receive a grade (A, B, C, D, F) for the course(s).
GRADING SYSTEM Grading the performance of students in course work is the responsibility of individual faculty members as dictated by the course syllabi. At the end of each term students will be evaluated as follows:
Letter Explanation Quality Points Grade 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. Non-completion of course requirements. Academic Regulations • 21
I Incomplete; Requirements 0 points per sem./hr. must be completed in next semester or receive an F. 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 0 points per sem./hr. Examination Program (CLEP)
Any student who receives an “I” may request to negotiate a contract with the instructor involved. Contracts negotiated between the student and the instructor will specify a definite completion date for the requirements. The contract completion date must be within the term following receipt of the “I”. Also included will be the types of activities set forth by the instructor to help the student achieve the minimum objectives of the course. If the student does not complete the minimum objectives in the negotiated time period, the student will receive an “F” in the course. Upon completion of the contract in the specified time, the instructor will notify the Registrar, by filling out the appropriate form in Student Services, to change the “I” to a letter grade. Faculty members assigning grades must resolve any grade changes by the end of the following term.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE The GPA is the most important example of a student’s academic progress. The computation 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, and CL grades made on developmental courses. The cumulative GPA is based on all eligible grades while a student is enrolled at Cleveland Community College as a curriculum student. The current GPA is based on one term’s work (current) for all eligible grades.
EXAMPLE OF COMPUTING THE GPA Credit GP per Grade Points Course Grade Hrs . 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
Grade Points = GPA 35 = 2.33 Hours Attempted 15 22 • Academic Regulations CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY
Absences are a serious deterrent to good scholarship; it is impossible to receive instruction, 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 instructor 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. 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 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.
PROBATION AND SUSPENSION Any student who falls below the specified minimum GPA at the end of any term will be placed on academic probation for the following term. To be removed from probation the student must attain the appropriate minimum grade point average by the end of the probation term; otherwise, the student will be suspended from that program for at least one term. In the Radiography program, every major specialty course must be passed with a “C” or higher each term before the student can enroll for the following term. In the ADN (Registered Nursing) and Practical Nursing programs, a grade of “C” must be made on every major specialty course each Academic Regulations • 23 term before the student can enroll for the following term. Students in these programs who are academically ineligible to enroll for the following term may reapply for admission. ADN and Practical Nursing students may be reaccepted only once. ADN students must earn a minimum grade of “C” on all Biology courses. Reentry in cases of suspended students is handled on an individual basis. Suspended students should contact the Assistant Registrar prior to reenrolling. The privilege of appeal is provided to the suspended student under policies of the Grievance Committee.
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 assigned 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 undocumented 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 accurately. 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 Report” and will ask the student to sign the Report. If the student refuses to sign the Report, the faculty member will note (on the Report) the student’s refusal to sign the Report. 2. The faculty member must submit the Report immediately to the appropriate divisional dean, the appropriate vice president, and the Registrar. 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 student refuses to sign the document. Submission of the Report indicates to the Registrar 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 student. 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 (determined 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 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. 24 • Academic Regulations 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 transcript. 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 computer-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 retake computer courses that are more than five years old. The following programs adhere to the Five-Year Technology Rule:
Degree Programs Certificate Programs Biotechnology Business Admin.-Foundations of Business I Business Administration Cisco Networking Business Admin.-Banking and Finance Computer Training and Support Business Admin.-Marketing and Retailing Data Management Computer Information Technology Information Systems Security Criminal Justice Microsoft Networking Information Systems Security Project Management Networking Technology Unix/Linux Networking Radiography Web Multimedia and Design Wireless Networking Diploma Programs Business Admin.-Marketing and Retailing
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 examinations; 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 change from audit to credit classification for an enrolled Academic Regulations • 25 course during the Add Period only. The Add Period is posted in Student Services each term.
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, laboratory 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.
THE OFFICIAL ACADEMIC RECORD (TRANSCRIPT) An official record (transcript) of all the student’s courses, credits, grades, current and cumulative Grade Point Average is available in Student Services. The record may also help determine eligibility for any club activity or club membership that requires specific scholastic standards. Request for CCC transcripts must be made in writing to the Student Services Department and accompanied by a photo ID. There is a two to three day waiting period for all transcripts. No student’s transcript will be released until all financial obligations to the college have been satisfied. All official documents, such as transcripts from other colleges or high schools, become the property of Cleveland Community College. CCC will only release copies of CCC’s curriculum transcript. Students requesting Cleveland Adult High School or GED transcripts should contact the Adult High School Department. There is a charge for each official copy of a transcript. Students requesting transcripts from other colleges or schools must obtain copies from the issuing institution. Records of Progress (Grade Reports) are provided by Cleveland Community College on all students — including veterans. Progress records (grade reports) are furnished to students (including veterans) at the end of each term.
POLICY ON RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF CURRICULUM RECORDS
The retention and disposal of students’ records at Cleveland Community College complies with the General Statutes of North Carolina as well as the North Carolina Community College System guidelines. Official CCC transcripts are secured and kept permanently in Student Services. Other materials such as registration forms, high school and other college transcripts are destroyed after five years. A returning student with disposed records must resubmit high school and all other previously attended college transcripts.
RELEASE OF INFORMATION FROM OFFICIAL STUDENT RECORDS Student records are maintained in accordance with the Family Educational Privacy Act of 1974. The College recognizes the responsibility for maintaining 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 student and to facilitate the achievement of the educational goals of the 26 • Academic Regulations
College. The following general principles and procedures govern the release of information from official student records: 1. Written consent from the student is required before a transcript or information may be released from the official, academic record. Exceptions are: a. The Registrar may release information from official records including reports of academic directory information from student records which include the following: student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of enrollment, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. b. The Registrar may release information pertaining to honor achievements for publications. 2. A hold may be applied to the release of a transcript or other information requested from an official record for a student who has an overdue indebtedness to the College. Such a student continues to have the right to see the official record upon request. 3. The use and release of information from student official records will be determined as outlined above and in compliance with state and federal legislation relating to such records. Action in situations that may not have been anticipated and/or defined above will at all times be based upon the best knowledge available to the professional staff of the College.
USA PATRIOT ACT Cleveland Community College complies with the USA Patriot Act of 2001.
RELEASE OF INFORMATION FOR PLACEMENT TEST SCORES Written consent from the student accompanied by a photo ID is required before test scores may be released. A form for release is available in Student Services.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION Students who can document their proficiencies in a subject area may request Credit by Examination. Documentation is required. The test may be taken only once, and a student who has previously registered and withdrawn from or failed the course is not eligible. The testing instructor’s decision will be final. Only full-time faculty who teach a given course may grant Credit by Examination for that course. Credit by Examination appears on the transcript as “CE.” (This policy does not apply to Developmental courses.) The student who requests credit by examination should use the following procedure: 1. The student must be currently enrolled at Cleveland. 2. The student must enroll in and pay for the course. The student must attend the class until the 20% point. 3. The student must confer with his/her instructor regarding the procedure and documentation requirements. 4. The student must present proper evidence of his/her knowledge of the subject matter before permission to take the test is granted. 5. The student who is receiving financial aid or planning to receive financial aid must confer with the Financial Aid office. 6. The student must confer with the instructor in order to receive and complete the appropriate Credit by Examination form at the 20% point of the term. 7. If a student passes, a grade of “CE” is submitted to the Registrar immediately. Students Academic Regulations • 27
who fail the Credit by Exam may continue the course for a grade or withdraw during the specified dates established by the college. 8. All documentation relevant to the Credit by Exam must be presented at the 20% point of the term. 9. The student may not receive Credit by Examination for more than 20% of the total number of credits required for the program. NOTE: Tuition charges paid for credit by examination are nonrefundable.
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 degree/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, the Registrar, and the appropriate Academic Dean a typed summary of experiences learned, proof that the experiences did occur (letter from employer detailing experience) and demonstrate skills learned (if requested). The Academic Dean, after consultation with the Registrar, 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.
HUSKINS BILL
Qualified high school students may have the opportunity to enroll in Huskins Bill courses (named for its legislation in North Carolina) and earn college credit. These courses may be college transfer, technical, or vocational courses offered in cooperation with Cleveland County Schools and its various high schools. Based on the current North Carolina legislation, Huskins Bill students will be eligible to enroll, tuition exempt, in college transfer courses with the following prefixes: AST, BIO, CHM, CIS, GEL, IMS, MAT, PHS, PHY, and SCI. Courses with the following prefixes are no longer available for Huskins Bill students: ACA, ANT, ARA, ART, ASL, CHI, COM, DAN, DRA, ECO, ENG, FRE, GEO, GER, HIS, HUM, ITA, JPN, LAT, MUS, PHI, POL, POR, PSY, REL, RUS, SOC, and SPA. Courses are typically taught on the high school campus, although some courses are taught on the Cleveland Community College campus. Most Huskins Bill courses are offered for high school juniors and seniors, but some courses may be offered at the high school freshman and sophomore level. College requirements and prerequisites for courses will apply. Students successfully completing a Huskins course with a grade of “C” or higher may earn college transfer course credit. Tuition and textbooks are FREE.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Qualified high school students are permitted to enroll in curriculum or continuing education courses, through the dual enrollment policy of the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges. Based on the current North Carolina legislation, Dual Enrollment students will be eligible to enroll, tuition exempt, in college transfer courses with the following prefixes: AST, BIO, CHM, CIS, GEL, IMS, MAT, PHS, PHY, and SCI.

Students must meet all admission and prerequisite requirements, and be 16 years of age. College requirements and prerequisites for courses will apply. Students must complete a Dual Enrollment registration form and obtain your principal’s signature for authorization. Tuition is FREE. Students are responsible for textbook fees and supplies.
LEARN AND EARN ONLINE
Qualified students in participating public high schools can take a variety of online college- credit courses through CCC at no cost to them or to their families. Access to these courses is provided during the regular school day and an online course facilitator will assist students in the classroom. Students in the 9th-12th grade are eligible to enroll in Learn & Earn Online courses; however, college requirements and prerequisites for courses will apply. Nonpublic high school students may enroll in any Learn and Earn Online course with space available that has been offered to but not filled by any eligible public school student. Nonpublic school students shall be responsible for supplying their own textbooks and other instructional materials and fees.
ARTICULATED CREDIT
Articulation is a systematic, seamless student transition process from secondary to postsecondary education that maximizes use of resources and minimizes content duplication. Students will make a seamless transition of identified courses from secondary to postsecondary education. The following criteria will be used to award college credit for identified 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 the Cleveland Community College registrar for processing. 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 Instruction. 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.clevelandcommunitycollege.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 combination 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 attend orientation before they Academic Regulations • 29 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 ir 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, or diploma or certificate (see individual curriculum programs for the number of elective 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 College and the work site to which the student has been assigned. Failure to abide by College 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 Blackboard, a Web-based course-management system. Blackboard is designed to allow students and faculty to participate in classes delivered online or use online materials and activities to complement face-to-face teaching. Blackboard enables instructors to provide students with course materials, discussion boards, virtual chat, online quizzes, an academic resource center, and more. The degree to which Blackboard 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 Blackboard, without any on-campus sessions. Admission Policies Students must adhere to all admission policies of the College and prerequisite requirements of individual courses. Online courses have a prerequisite of RED 090 or previous successful completion of online courses. Online Courses (OL) 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 Blackboard during the first week of class. Hybrid Courses (HY) Hybrid courses are a blend of face-to-face instruction and online delivery - (51% online and 49% on campus). Orientation is included in Blackboard during the first week of class. 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 students 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.

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 A, B, C, or F. These grades are not computed with other courses in the current or cumulative GPA, nor are they used in the computation to determine Dean’s List, President’s List, Graduation High Honors or Graduation Honors. Developmental courses must be passed with a grade of “C” before students can enroll in higher level English, reading, and mathematics courses. Please read the Admissions 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.
COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION PROJECT The Comprehensive Education Project is a curriculum-based vocational training program offered to selected minimum custody inmates at the Cleveland Correctional Center.

Some colleges give credit on the basis of examinations. Any student interested in pursuing that possibility should talk with the department head of the planned major field at the college to which transfer is desired.
TRANSFER RESPONSIBILITY
The College will cooperate with each student in planning a transfer program. However, it is the responsibility of the student to determine what courses and credit will transfer to the receiving institution. The acceptance of courses taken at Cleveland Community College is determined solely by the institution to which the student transfers. 34 • Academic Regulations
The student planning to transfer will have less difficulty if he/she will follow these steps: 1. Decide early which senior college to attend.

INDICATORS OF STUDENT SUCCESS
In February 1999, the North Carolina 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 colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality. In the 2007 Session, the General Assembly approved modification to the North Carolina Performance Measures and Standards as adopted by the 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 2006-2007 College Year.

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
The fundamental process of the Financial Aid Program at Cleveland Community College is to provide financial assistance, based on financial need, to students who normally could not attend post-secondary school without aid. Financial aid at Cleveland is based on a needs analysis. The needs analysis form used by Cleveland is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form, located on the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov, must be completed by students applying for financial aid. For aid other than the PELL Grant, additional forms may be required. In accordance with the Omnibus Drug Initiative Act of 1988, as a precondition to receive federally funded financial aid (e.g., PELL Grant, Campus Based Programs), each student receiving assistance must certify that he or she will not engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance during the period of enrollment covered by a grant. If convicted of a drug related Federal or State offense, the institution must withhold any further Title IV payments to the student until it is determined by the appropriate authority regarding fraud on the part of the student. — Financial aid at Cleveland Community College consists of scholarships, grants and work study or any combination of these as determined by the Financial Aid Office. — 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. — 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. — 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 progress” in accordance with the College’s grading policy, listed in the catalog under “Satisfactory Progress Standards For Financial Aid” and “Academic Progress”. — Any commitment of federal and state funds (PELL Grant, SEOG, CWS, NCCCG, NCSIG, ACG, NCELS, NC EARN) is tentative and contingent upon subsequent Congressional and state appropriation and actual receipt of funds by the College. — 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 standards of conduct. — 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 acceptance of outside aid. 52 • Financial Information — Most awards are based on full-time attendance. Some funds may be paid for 1/2 or 3/4 time but may be reduced proportionately. College Transfer and Technical students are required 12 or more credit hours for full-time status; 3/4 time is 9 to 11 credit hours, and 1/2 time is 6 to 8 credit hours. Vocational classes are subject to Title IV credit hour conversion which means, attendance is based on contact hours instead of credit hours: Full-time is 23 or more contact hours, 3/4 time is 17 to 22 contact hours, and 1/2 time is 12 to 16 contact hours.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be accessed through the Internet. The web address is www.fafsa.ed.gov. From the web site, applicants follow a series of simple steps to apply for financial aid electronically. 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 apply for the PELL Grant if they wish to be considered for other 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 Department requires additional information. Students should submit the FAFSA on or before the first of July to insure completion of the application process prior to Fall Semester. Students completing the FAFSA on the day of registration are not awarded their grant until the application process is complete.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS STANDARDS FOR FINANCIAL AID
Introduction The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980, mandates institutions of higher education to establish minimum standards of “Satisfactory Progress” for students receiving financial aid. For the purpose of maintaining a consistent policy for all students receiving financial aid administered by the College’s Financial Aid Office, these standards are applicable to all financial aid programs including all Federally sponsored Title IV programs. These standards may be amended to comply with federal regulations, Institution, and program requirements as applicable. Satisfactory Progress Defined To initially receive or continue to receive financial aid, a student must demonstrate BOTH A QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE STANDARD OF satisfactory progress as defined below: 1. Satisfactory progress for Financial Aid at Cleveland Community College is defined as any student in good academic standing, not on academic probation, and who has a G.P.A. at or above the required standards as established by the college catalog. (Qualitative) 2. Continuing students applying for financial assistance (Title IV funds) which include (PELL GRANT, SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY GRANT, COLLEGE WORK STUDY AND STATE STUDENT INCENTIVE GRANT) will be evaluated each term to determine, by the Standards of Satisfactory Progress, whether the student has successfully completed the minimum percentage of work toward his/ her objective, degree, or certificate. Other students entered during the same academic year mentioned above will be evaluated by the Financial Aid Office the entering term. (Quantitative) 3. The maximum time frame a full-time student would have to complete his/her course should be 150% of normal required time: Financial Information • 53
3 years or 6 terms for technical and general education programs and transfer programs; 1 1/2 years or 3 terms for vocational programs. A half-time or three-quarter time student must satisfactorily complete the appropriate fractional hours of the maximum time frame established for completion of his/her course work. Students who CHANGE FROM ONE CURRICULUM PROGRAM TO ANOTHER are subject to the maximum time frame mentioned in the above paragraph. 4. Students registered under the Special Credit Programs are NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE TITLE IV PROGRAM. If a curriculum student is placed on academic probation or suspension for the first time and applies for admission as a “new” student in another program, the financial aid award is terminated. The student may reestablish eligibility for the federal student aid funds after attending one or more terms on his/her own and removing the academic probation/suspension. Reentry status is determined by internal evaluation and transfer of credits. After the reentry term, the first definition of satisfactory progress applies. All current financial aid recipients receive a copy of the Satisfactory Academic Standards, along with more detailed information with the award letter. For the most current copy of the Satisfactory Academic Standard, please contact the Financial Aid Office.
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID REFUND POLICY
Any student withdrawing, or planning to withdraw, or who stops attending class must consult with the Financial Aid Coordinator on any charges that are to be repaid or refunded. (Students must attend beyond the 60% point of each term to be exempt from repayments.) Cleveland Community College enforces a fair and equitable refund policy that follows mandated federal, state, and institutional requirements. There are currently two possible refund policies for a Financial Aid student who does not complete the enrollment period for which they were charged under the Student Financial Assistance program (SFA). The institution will determine and apply the appropriate calculation, which yields the largest eligible refund to the SFA program. Institutional/State Calculation A. A 100 percent refund shall be made if the student officially drops a course no later than the College’s official Drop/Add dates. B. A 75 percent refund shall be made if the student officially drops from a course after the College’s official Drop/Add dates and up to and including the 10 percent date for the session during which the class began.
Federal Refund Calculation • Withdraws before first day of class equals 100% tuition refund. • Withdraws on or before the 60% point of the term, student may owe an overpayment to the institution or to the Department of Education. • Withdraws after the 60% point of the term, student has earned 100% of financial 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 term the student attended before withdrawing. 2. Determine the amount of Title IV aid earned by the student based on the percentage of time of enrollment. 54 • Financial Information
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 student 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. 4. Allocate the responsibility for returning the unearned aid between the school 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-rated basis. For example, if a student completed 40% of the semester, the student has earned 40% of the financial assistance that he/she was scheduled to receive. If the student is responsible for returning funds, the student does not have to return the full amount. The law provides that 50% of the overpayment received by the student does not have to be returned. If a student has an overpayment (monies that must be paid back) and fails to repay that amount to either the institution or the Department of Education, that student loses eligibility for all Title IV program funds. The only way to regain eligibility is to make satisfactory arrangements with the institution or the Department of Education. The student’s withdrawal date or last day of attendance (LDA) must be established to calculate the refund. The following will be used as a guide to determine that date: ACTION: Student officially withdraws from all classes WITHDRAWAL/LDA: The date the student notifies the school of withdrawal
ACTION: Student drops out completely (Unofficial withdrawal) WITHDRAWAL/LDA: The last date of student’s recorded attendance.
ACTION: Leave of absence WITHDRAWAL/LDA: The last date of student’s recorded attendance.
ACTION: Expelled WITHDRAWAL/LDA: Date of expulsion.
All institutional charges will be subject to the refund policy. These charges include tuition, equipment, books, or supplies issued to the student. The documented cost of returnable equipment and books will be included in institutional cost if not returned in good condition within 20 days of the students withdrawal. That is to say, students who purchased equipment/ books/supplies from financial aid sources must return the items in good condition to the Financial Aid Office within 20 days of withdrawal contingent upon College Store approval or acceptance of returned material. Refund example: Student attends four weeks of classes and officially withdraws. Withdrawal date established. Student attended 20 of the 80 days in the semester (20/80=25%). Student has earned 25% of their financial assistance. Institutional charges are counted in the refund formula because the student failed to return books. After taking into consideration the student’s earned aid and the institutional charges, it is concluded that the student owes a refund back to the institution or the Department of Education. However, the student is only responsible for 50% of the amount owed. Refund example: Student attends eight weeks of classes before unofficially withdrawing. Student does return books and supplies. Withdrawal date used is the students last date of Financial Information • 55 attendance. Student attended 40 of the 80 days in the term (40/80=50%). Student has earned 50% of his/her financial assistance. However, after comparing the amount earned by the student to the amount disbursed, or that could have been disbursed to the student, it was discovered the student is eligible for a late disbursement. See Post-Withdrawal Disbursements . Post-Withdrawal Disbursements: If a student has received less aid than the student earned, he/she may be eligible for a Post-Withdrawal Disbursement. If a student is eligible, the student will have 14 days to accept or decline the disbursement. If an acceptance is not received within this time frame, the institution will not make the Post-Withdrawal Disbursement to the student. In this case, the student will receive another letter from the institution stating why the Post- Withdrawal Disbursement is no longer valid. 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. All current financial aid students receive a copy of the Refund Policy along with more detailed information when the award letter is signed. For the most current copy of the Financial Aid Refund Policy, contact the Financial Aid Office.
TYPES OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE All Financial Aid programs fall into one of two categories: grants or employment. Grants and scholarships are outright gifts of money and do not have to be repaid. Employment allows the student to work and earn needed money. Application procedures and eligibility requirements, as stated in the academic bulletin, apply for any program. Students having a four-year degree may apply for any program except PELL Grant and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), the North Carolina Community College Grant, NCELS, NC EARN, and Work Study. GRANTS PELL Grant All financial aid applicants are required to apply for the PELL Grant. 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 applied 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 index 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 submitting the written 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 Director of Financial Aid who awards the grant according to the exceptional financial need of the student. North Carolina Student Incentive Grant (NCSIG) These grants are available to legal North Carolina residents who are full-time students in good standing with Cleveland Community College and who have demonstrated need. Recipients are selected by the State of NC and based on completing the FAFSA by March 1 before the academic year begins. 56 • Financial Information
Amounts are determined by the student’s financial need in relation to available resources and the cost of education. Grants may range up to $2000 per academic year but may not exceed one-half the cost of unmet need. Repayment is not required. North Carolina Community College Grant Students must apply for the Federal PELL Grant to be eligible for this program. These financial aid 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 requirements 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 apply for the Federal PELL Grant 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. North Carolina Education Access Reward North Carolina (EARN) Grant Students must apply for the Federal PELL Grant to be eligible for this program. These funds are awarded to eligible students at community colleges who are enrolled full-time. Recipients must be North Carolina residents and must meet certain high school graduation requirements. The purpose of this grant is to allow recipients to attend their first two years of postsecondary education without incurring student loans.
EMPLOYMENT
College Work-Study Program (CWS) A work-study program is awarded to students (enrolled at least half-time) demonstrating an unmet need beyond Pell Grant. This program allows students to earn a portion of the cost of their education. Work-study participants will work a supervised schedule, usually 10-15 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.

HOPE SCHOLARSHIP TAX CREDIT and/or LIFETIME LEARNING TAX CREDIT
Taxpayers may be eligible to claim a nonrefundable Lifetime Learning Credit or a Hope Scholarship Tax Credit against their federal income taxes. The Hope Scholarship is a tax credit for eligible students during their first two years of postsecondary education. The tax credit covers 100% of the first $1,000 of qualified tuition and related expenses plus 50% of the second $1,000 during the qualified period. The amount of tuition and fees covered by the Hope tax credit is reduced by other grants and/or scholarships received (PELL Grant, North Carolina Community College Grant, scholarships, etc.) Students must be enrolled in a degree, certificate, or other program leading to a recognized educational credential, and be enrolled at least half-time. Students may claim a Lifetime Learning Credit for qualified tuition and related expenses against their federal income taxes. The credit amount is equal to 20 percent of the taxpayer’s first $10,000 of out-of-pocket qualified tuition and related expenses. Thus, the maximum credit a taxpayer may claim for a taxable year is $2,000. If the taxpayer is claiming a Hope Scholarship Credit for a particular student, none of that student’s expenses for that year may be applied toward the Lifetime Learning Credit. The amount a taxpayer may claim as a Lifetime Learning Credit is gradually reduced for taxpayers who have modified adjusted gross income between $41,000 ($82,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly) and $51,000 ($102,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly). Taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $51,000 ($102,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly) may not claim a Lifetime Learning Credit. For more information please contact your accountant or the Internal Revenue Service.

COLLEGE TRANSFER PROGRAMS
A large number of students plan their programs for transfer to four-year colleges or universities. 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 institution. 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, engineering, 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 enter. 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 Associate in Science degree after completing the prescribed hours of study. Upon completion of liberal arts programs, the student should: 1. Write and speak with clarity and precision, in keeping with the rules of standard English. 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 culture. 5. Understand the meaning of the “multicultural” approach to history. 6.

STRATEGIC VISION (Statement of Purpose)
Continuing Education, in partnership with business and industry and community agencies, strengthens the economic, civic, and cultural life in Cleveland County. The Unit does this by offering a variety of courses and programs which meet the needs of people beyond compulsory school age whose major occupation may not be that of a full time student. Broad categories of services are workforce development, economic development, basic skills and literacy education, and quality of life enhancement.
Goals: 1. Lead the College in refining the Continuing Education Plan which addresses four major areas: workforce development (training and retraining), economic development (services to business and industry), basic skills and literacy education, and quality of life enhancement (cultural and leisure programming). 2. Continuously evaluate instructional and program effectiveness. 3. Continue refinement of student support services such as registration, student records, and student information. 4. Provide leadership that promotes systems thinking to ensure a more effective Student Information System. 5. Continue staff development that encompasses current national trends and issues by providing specific training for Continuing Education team needs and which results in a Continuing Education identity. 6. Identify and acquire human and fiscal resources to meet student needs. 7. Continuously evaluate College/community partnerships and events to improve and expand services to students and the community.
