QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY

Gogebic Community College is committed to providing an environment in which its students can be confident of receiving the highest quality instructional programs. Recognizing its responsibilities, Gogebic Community College offers assurance to its students, prospective employers, and transfer institutions that graduates shall have the basis for competent performance in their degree or certificate area.

The college has articulation agreements with a number of Michigan institutions. These agreements guarantee the transferability of the associate degree and of specific courses within the curriculum. Students following the direction of college advisors are assured of maximal transferability of earned credits.

Gogebic Community College will refund the tuition of any GCC graduate for any transfer course passed at GCC with a “C” grade* if that earned course credit does not transfer to an accredited college or university in which the student enrolls within two years of graduation from GCC. Such classes must be listed as transferable on GCC’s listing of transfer courses in the Dean of Students’ Office.

Non-transferring students who earn a degree or certificate with a “C” average or better can be expected to perform competently in the area in which they were instructed. Any employer who views a Gogebic Community College graduate as not possessing appropriate entry-level skills and can specify such deficiencies may request remediation. The student will be permitted to retake a specified course or courses without an additional tuition charge. The college recognizes that unused skills decay rapidly. The assurances offered herein are made for individuals who gain employment within a year of receiving a degree or certificate.

* A grade of “C” minus may not qualify.

77 SKI AREA MANAGEMENT Associate of Applied Technology

The Ski Area Management Program at GCC is one of the nation’s most comprehensive training programs for individuals interested in pursuing a career in the snow sport industry. Technical and academic study is combined with a practical internship which is conducted at major resorts throughout Colorado, Vermont, Utah, California and the Midwest. Students spend their freshman year and the first eight weeks of their sophomore year completing prerequisite courses. During this period, the Mt. Zion Recreation Complex is utilized as a training laboratory. Mt. Zion is our college owned and operated winter sport complex located on campus and is open to the public. The Cooperative Work Experience assignment (Co-op) is the capstone of the Ski Area Management Program. All sophomore students participate in the five month internship where they gain important operational experience in an actual resort environment. GCC’s graduates, placed at resorts nationwide, succeed with knowledge and skills provided by the program. Employment opportunities look very good into the future. Placement assistance is available through GCC’s Career Placement Office with assistance from the Ski Area Management Department. Through appropriate course selection, students may opt to pursue a Bachelor Degree through an articulated agreement with Northern Michigan University and the Walker L. Cisler College of Business and obtain a baccalaureate degree in Ski Area Business Management. This transfer agreement will enable students to begin their program at either institution and will further enhance their future career opportunities.
