nursing classes varies with each class depending on the number of students continuing the progression.

• Applicants will be ranked according to GPA of the required prerequisites in decreasing order.

• Only official transcripts and/or verification of final grades will be used.• Applicants meeting the designated deadline will be given first

consideration for admission.• Applicants not meeting the deadline cannot be guaranteed

consideration for admission.• In the event the GPA cannot discriminate a rank order, the department

will review all application materials of the applicants with the same GPA with selection based on “most highly qualified applicant.”

• All selected and non-selected applicants will be notified in writing.

Step Four: Acknowledging Acceptance• Selected applicants are given a specified time period to accept their

position in the class.• If any of the first group do not accept or if any accept and then with

draw prior to the beginning of classes, the vacancy created will be offered to the next highest ranked applicant.

This is a two-credit-hour course offered prior to fall and spring semester classes. This course will introduce the philosophy and conceptual framework of the nursing curriculum.

• After successful completion of NR 108 the student will receive credit for the appropriate first-year course(s). No grade will be earned - only credit recorded. If going into the second semester nursing class the transcript will read:

Credit by Advanced Placement Examination: NR 105 Basic Nursing Care of the Adult, 10 hours credit. If going into third semester, this course will also appear: NR 106 Nursing Care of the Developing Individual, 10 hours credit.

Reapplication• Applicants who are not selected for admission are asked to communicate

in writing their desire to reapply for the next class to the Nursing Department prior to the May 20 and Sept. 20 deadlines.

ATTENDANCE POLICYStudents are expected to attend all scheduled class and examination

meetings. Students are also expected to maintain satisfactory progress ineach of the classes in which they are enrolled. Thus, whenever absencesbecome excessive and, in the instructor’s opinion, minimum course ob-jectives cannot be met due to absences, the student may, at the discretionof the instructor, be withdrawn from the course. If a student is withdrawnby the instructor for excessive absences, a “WT” (withdrawn by teacher)will be recorded on his/her permanent record. Instructors are responsi-ble for clearly stating their attendance policy and administrative droppolicy in the course syllabus, and it is the student’s responsibility to beaware of those policies.

Procedural Clarifications:Students should not miss class for any reason other than a college ap-

proved activity or an emergency, as determined by the instructor (i.e.,death in the family, health).

Student absences for approved college activities will not accrue as ex-cessive absences. Students will be allowed to make up work missed as aresult of college approved activities. Students will make up work beforethe absence for the approved college activity or within one week after re-turning to class. Students will check with each instructor prior to the ab-sence to arrange for make-up times.

Activity sponsors will publish a timely list of students who will be ab-sent because of an approved college activity.

DROP AND WITHDRAWAL POLICYAdministrative Withdrawals:

Students can be administratively withdrawn from a course for non-payment, for violating expectations of student conduct and standards ofhonesty, and for excessive absences (see Attendance Policy). When a stu-dent is administratively withdrawn, a “WD” or “WT” (withdrawn byteacher) will be recorded on his/her permanent record. Once a student isadministratively withdrawn for any reason, the student will no longer beallowed to attend the class/es) from which he/she has been withdrawnunless written authorization of re-instatement by the appropriate ad-ministrator can be provided.

Students can check current registration status via pipeline@butler onButler’s homepage at www.butlercc.edu or by calling the Registrar’s officeat (316) 322-3268 or 733-3268 Wichita/metro area.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS & EXPECTATIONSExpectation of Satisfactory Academic Progress

It is the philosophy of Butler Community College that every studentenrolled for classes should have the opportunity to demonstrate his/herability to perform acceptable college-level work. At the same time, stu-dents are expected to assume responsibility for their actions, which in-cludes a mature attitude and dedication to well-defined study habits andregular class attendance.

Academic Probation and SuspensionStudents registered in a minimum of seven credit hours who do not

maintain a semester grade point average of 1.5 will be placed on proba-tion. If at the close of the following semester, they have not raised theirgrade point average, they may be placed on suspension, during whichtime they may not be recommended for admission to any other academicinstitution. Failure to make satisfactory academic progress may impactfinancial aid recipients. Please refer to the Financial Aid section of thecatalog or contact a financial aid counselor. Probation status may be removed upon completion of a minimum of 7credit hours in a subsequent semester with a grade point average of 1.5 orhigher.

Academic ProbationStudents placed on academic probation shall not enroll in more than

twelve (12) hours without permission from the Director of EnrollmentManagement or Site Director of Advising.

Academic SuspensionAcademic suspension should not be viewed as punishment. It is based

on the philosophy that a student may continue to enroll as long as satis-factory progress toward an educational goal is being made. Whenprogress is not satisfactory, the student is given time to reconsider goalsand career plans outside the educational setting.

Students who are placed on academic suspension at Butler CommunityCollege may appeal to the Director of Enrollment Management or SiteDirector of Advising. For more detailed information, contact the Directorof Enrollment Management.

EXPECTATION OF STUDENT CONDUCTA high standard of conduct is expected of all students. Upon enroll-

ment, each student accepts the obligations of performance and behaviorimposed by the college relevant to its lawful missions, processes andfunctions. Rules and regulations relating to the students at Butler aremade with the view of protecting the best interests of the individual, thegeneral welfare of the entire student body and the educational mission ofthe college. Obedience to the law, respect for properly constituted au-thority, personal integrity and common sense are expected to guide theactions of students both in and out of the classroom.

Student behavior that is contrary to adopted school policy will result inappropriate disciplinary action. This action may include probation, sus-pension or expulsion.

Grounds for probation, suspension or expulsion include:1. Willful violation of any published regulation for student conductadopted or approved by the Board of Trustees.

2. Conduct which substantially disrupts, impedes or interferes with theoperation of any college class or activity.

3. Conduct which substantially impinges upon or invades the rights of others.

7. Theft of any property belonging to the college, faculty or staff, visitoror student.

8. Willful damage to or destruction of property belonging to the college,faculty or staff, visitor or student.

ACADEMIC HONESTYEffective learning may involve differences of opinion and views be-

tween the student and faculty. Students are responsible, however, forlearning the content of course of study outlined by the instructor, regard-less of how the student feels privately. This attainment for content mustbe reached in an honest and forthright manner. Students who compro-mise the integrity of the academic process are subject to disciplinary ac-tion on the part of the college.

Students who have been accused of violating a standard of honesty mayprotect themselves with a series of appeal processes and are assured ofdue process and procedure. A student may appeal faculty and administra-tion decisions concerning academic honesty. First, contact the DivisionDean, who, if necessary, may inform the student of further steps in theprocedure. These can include appeals to the Vice President for StudentServices and College President if the student deems this necessary.

Students violating such standards must accept the consequences whichmay include a failing grade, suspension or dismissal from the classand/or the college.

Violations Include:1. Cheating, in any form, whether in formal examinations or elsewhere.

2. Plagiarism, using the work of others as one’s own without assigning proper credit to the source.

3. Misrepresentation of any work done in the classroom or in preparation for a class.

For Cameron Bedell, what’s strikes a chord the most about Butler isthe freedom to pursue all his dreams. Cameron, a Butler music major,believes he’s experiencing something at Butler that he wouldn’t get fromother institutes of higher learning – opportunity that comes from per-sonal relationships. Everyone is sort of a blur at the larger universities, hesays. At Butler, we put you in focus. That’s enough to have everyone singingthe praises of a powerful education.

Most schools have a

fight song. CAMERON gave

tribute. A personal song he composed about

It’s as quick as filling outone sheet of paper, then we work hard to find the onethat qualifies. It will probably be the shortest assign-ment you do all semester, and, you might not have toturn your shirt inside out to go another week beforelaundry – unless, of course, you’re into that.

Growing up around fastcars and speed skates gaveDevin a passion for hotwheels. His love for speedmakes it hard for him toslow down. That’s why he’sat Butler, to ensure he’s ableto live his dream in rapidfashion.

EVER SINCE HE CAN REMEMBER, Devin has been in-terested in cars. He claims it’s part of his genetic code.Whether his relatives are racing cars in Washington or restor-ing them in California, nearly half of them are mechanics. Sowhen he graduated high school, fast cars were more a part ofhis future than college, he was sick of school. After a yearbreak, Devin’s vision to open his own custom fabrication andhot rod shop brought him to Butler. Rather than starting at abody shop to learn the trade, he wisely chose to earn his de-gree and build on that foundation. Butler is nothing like heremembers school being before. He’s actually excited to be incollege. At one point, his uncontrollable interest was leadingto a reckless speeding record. Now, he’s on the fast track toreaching his goal.

Transforming his life-long passion into a real-life career;that’s how Devin brings power to learning.

Devin discovered learning is pretty powerful when instruc-tors support your goals and give you personalized, hands-ontraining. At Butler, we offer more than 80 degree programsand nearly 30 certificate options. So whether you want toenter the workforce right away, start on your degree coursesor simply take some of your general education hours – all ina much more inexpensive and personal environment – we’llhave mom doing some non-stop bragging come this year’sThanksgiving dinner.

THE personalVICTORY IN REACHING

THE STARS

THE inner CHAMPION

LEAVING THE LOCKER ROOM before eachmatch reminds Barbi Cervantes of the reason she lefther home in Texas to play volleyball at Butler: to liveher dreams as an individual. In fact, Barbi turneddown Division I athletics for the personal attentionshe receives here. “Everyone took the time to get toknow me,” Barbi recalls. “And they still are. Fromteachers to other students, when you walk aroundcampus everybody knows who you are.”

While on the court she’s living her dream to play thesport she loves, off the court she’s following a newdream to pursue a career in pre-med, a goal thatbegan with her love for art. “I could spend all day inan art museum,” she said. “I love the abstract beautyin art. To me, there is a certain beauty and balance ina sonographic image – and an artistic quality of beingable to paint parents’ first picture of their baby.”

Her experience at Butler and in the community ismaking it easier to be so far from home. Still, shedoes keep her mom close to her in spite of the dis-tance. “My mom is my star,” she beams. “We’re bestfriends. She wants me to live life and I always keepthese words from her close to me: ‘Reach for themoon. Even if you miss, you’ll land on the stars.’”

Reaching for your dreams, that’s the power of Butler.

WHERE power LIVES

Power is here. It’s calling you, pushing you, confronting you – and demanding that you convince your future tocome along for an inspiring ride. Power is waiting to change you.

IT’S PRETTY SIMPLE really. At Butler, power comes from our people. People that become more than studentsyou have classes with or figureheads in a lecture hall. With us, learning gets personal. Our instructors would ratherinspire than lecture and our advisors see more promise in walking alongside you rather than pointing you down theroad alone

That’s when learning becomes powerful. When education is something we do together. While knowledge comesfrom us, learning starts with you. It’s a relationship that grows stronger through engaging conversations and di-verse connections. All of which lead to a powerful education you just won’t find anywhere else.

EVERYONE has a story. That’s the POWER of Butler.

The question remains:

HOW WILL IT CHANGE YOU?
