GENERAL INFORMATION

19 GENERALINFORMATION

HISTORYOF THE COLLEGE GalvestonCollege has served the learning interests of Galvestonresidents, businesses and industries for aearly thirty years. Manygroups and individuals, both past and present, have played an important part in the developmentof Galveston College. It is knownthat as early as 1934there was considerable local interest in a communityjunior college for Galveston. Interested citizens were able to call and hold an election on November2, 1935, which created a iunior college district with geographical boundaries coterminous with those of the Galveston Independent SchoolDistrict. Attemptsto activate the district included a lua~e 27, 1936, tax proposal, which met with failure at the pogs. Communityleaders did not relax their efforts during the ensuing years, despite another unsuccessfuI election in 1958 which proposed a county-widejunior college district. In 1965, a UnionJunior College District, composedof all but three of the independent school districts in the county, was organized. On April 2, 1966, the Union Junior College District unsuccessfully submitted bond and tax proposals to the voters. In July of 1966, the Commissioner’sCourt of Galveston Countyconsidered favorably a resolution by the UnionJunior College District to disannex the territory comprisingthe Galveston Junior College District from the territory comprising the newly organized Union Junior College District. This act provided the avenue by whichthe original district cotdd be activated. That sameyear, Galvestonleaders renewedtheir drive to obtain a college for the Island. An attorney general’s opinion was sought and it determinedthat the original district wasstill in legal existence. The original Board of Regents was appointed on September21, 1966, by the Public SchoolDistrict Trustees. On December3, 1966, an election was held to establish a maintenancetax for the operation of the College. An annual ad valorem tax was authorized at a rate not to exceed $0.27 per each $100 valuation of the taxable property within the College district. For the opening of the College in September1967, through the spring of 1970, the College occupied MoodyHall, a refurbished orphanage, as its only campusfacil- ity. The initial academicofferings werefairly broad in scope, while the occupational programwas minimalbut with strong offerings in vocational nursing, office occupations, engineering/drafting and law enforcement. During this period, the College implementedcooperative agreements with the University of TexasMedical Branchhospitals resulting in programsin associate degree nursing and associated health occupations, received a gift from the Moody Foundationfor one million dollars and achieved its initial accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. By the fall of 1970, the College’s initial enrollment of 730 had grownto 1,245. Duringthe next two years, the College expandedinto temporary buildings, several

20 GENERALINFORMATION of which were new, others the result of adjacent property acquisitions. Additional programs were established in mid-managememand nursing assistant. Notable developments during this period were a cooperative m~rsing program with BrazosportCollege, a five-year t~deral allied health grant of a quarter of a million dollars, and during the summerof 1972, occupancy of the Mary Moody Northen Center for occupational education. Enrollment for the fall semester 1972 was 1,717. During the period 1972-76, manynew occupational programs were added, including offset printing, industrial engine mechanics, refrigeration mechanics,banking, fashion merchandising, office simulation, and a certificate programin hospital unit clerk training. Addedto these was an academic program in cooperative education. Duringthis latest period, the College inaugurated several contract services beginning with offset printing instruction to Ball High Schoolstudents, acquired a 5.2 acre portion of the old Fort Crockett military installation, initiated concurrent enrollment agreements with city high schools, and attained accreditation reaffirma- tion from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In May1977, the College opened its Fort Crockett campusat which some 600 students received course workin health care programs,fine arts, physical education and various other credit and adult educational offerings. Since 1977, the College has added courses in computer science, child development, humandevelopment, television and surgical technology. Also, a grant from the National Science Foundation has enabled mathematics and science instructors to employ the computer as an instructional tool. The second floor of the Shearn MoodyPlaza was opened for selected programs in September1981. This facility accommodatedthe following programs: mid- management,mini-course in clerical occupations, nurse assistant, surgical technology, unit clerk and vocational nursing. In addition, photography, metals and printmaking were taught on this campus. With a generous gift from the MeadowsFoundation, the College dedicated the Eudine MeadowsCheney Student Center in October of 1982. In Septemberof I984, the College’s decision to movefrom the Shearn Moody Plaza location required maximumutilization of all campusfacilities with the majority of managementand health care courses being located at the Fort Crockett campus. In addition, the Fort Crockett campusfacilities were expandedto accommodate the arts, photography, metals and printmaking. The fall of 1984 also provided the opening of new physical education facilities in the renovated basementof the Fort Crockett building and a newly constructed annex complete with racquetball courts, showers, weighttraining facility and exercise areas. The fall of 1984 markedthe beginning of the College’s new hotel/restaurant managementcurriculuna which received an overwhelmingresponse from the hospi tality industry in Galvestonand interested students. During the sameperiod, an expanded emphasis was put on adult/continuing education to offer a multitude of courses for communityinterests and individual development. In the fhll of I985, the food service management/culinaryarts programopened

As Galveston College uses the facilities of The University of Texas Medical Branch, our students in the health related fields come under this ruling. The minimum amount of coverage acceptable to UTMBis $200,000/$600,000. Galveston College will provide a Blanket Student Liability Insurance Program. Students enrolled in Radiation Therapy programs will pay liability insurance on an annual basis. The cost of this coverage is currently $149.00. Other health occupation program students will pay by the semester. The cost of this coverage is currently $7.50 in the fall semester and $7.50 in the spring semester. Students may have their own individual policies if they wish, but a copy of such a policy or other adequate proof of insurance must be provided to the College at the time of registration. Such a policy must have a minimumof $200,000/$600,000 coverage. Students who do not meet this requirement cannot be given clinical assignments.

After that day, courses will be droppedwith a grade of"W"(Withdrawn). The last day to drop a course with a "W"is listed in each semester’s published schedule. If an AWF/AWNis processed before a student completes the drop procedure, the AWF/AWNwill become the grade of record. Formsfor dropping or adding courses may be obtained from the Counselor’s Office. A drop form requires the signature of the instructor or the appropriate Dean. The drop form does not becomeofficial until it is received in the Admissions Office with the required signatures.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE(GPA) Four grade points are awardedfor each semester hour in which the student receives an "A’~, three grade points for each hour of "B~, two grade points for each hour of

54 ACADEMICSTANDARDS

"C", one grade point for each hour of"D’~ and 0 grade points for an "F" or AWE" The grade point average is the quotient obtained by dividing the total numberof grade points earned by the numberof semester hours which a student has attempted (excluding developmentalcourses). Grades of"Audit;’ "I," "IP," "AWN," "CR;’ "NC;’ "NR,""WX," are not assigned grade point values. For repeated courses, only the latest grade earned is included in cumulative grade point averages. Transcripts do, however,indicate all workcompleted, even if the latest grade is lower than a precedinggrade. A student’s grade point average is computedby adding the total grade point values for all courses and dividing by the numberof credit hours attempted during the sameperiod. For example, a student whotakes the following courses and earns the following grades has a grade point average of 2.52: Courses Grade GradePoints BIOL 2401 A 16 ENGL1301 B 9 HIST 1301 B 9 SPCH1315 C 6 PSYC2301 D 3 PHED1115 _F _0 Total Credit Hours: 17 Total Grade Points: 43+17 = 2.52 Cumulative Grade Point Average The cumulative grade point average is based upon all of the student’s worktaken at Galveston College. However,when courses are repeated only the most recent grade will be used to calculate grade points and semester hours. Transfer students must meet the grade point requirements corresponding to the numberof semester hours for which they have received transfer credit. No grade lower than a"C" is acceptable for transfer credit. AcademicProbation and Suspension Students must meet the grade pnint requirements listed in Table 1 or be placed on academic probation for the succeeding long-term semester or the succeeding summerterm for which the student is registered. A student whodoes not have the required numberof cumulative grade points but whomeets the grade point requirements on the current work attempted, will be allowed to continue on an academic probation status. Students whohave been placed on academic probation and who fail to meet the grade point requirements in the next semester hours attempted will be suspended for one long-term semester or the combinedsummer terms, as applicable. VETER- ANS SHALL BE REPORTEDTO THE VA AS MAKINGUNSATISFACTORY PROGRESSAND WILL NOT BE CERTIFIED UNTIL PROBATIONHAS BEEN REMOVED. Students whohave been placed on academicprobation by another institution at the

55 ACADEMICSTANDARDS
