ON TH E COVER ..... A SALUTE TO 1963 Ten years ago . . ... 1963! It was a good year for 3,039 Greater Cleveland

youth and adults who lined up outside the old Brownell Building in September of '63 to register for the first classes at CCc. And CCC President Charles E. Chapman was pleased when he read The Commuter's page-one story of th e largest initial enrollment in the history of the community/ junior college movement.

What were some of the other momentous and not-so momentous happenings in 1963?

Kennedy was assassinated and Johnson suc -ceeded him to the presidency. Studebaker ended production and Miss Arkansas, Donna Axuro, was named Miss America . Rolph locher was mayor of Cleveland and Ghaulardi ruled local TV. Sonny liston's fists sent Floyd Patterson on a trip to the canvas and l. Gordon Cooper, Jr., circled the earth 22 times in Faith 7. The U.S. Surgeon General's warning began appearing on cigarette packages. The succ ess of TV's liThe Fugitive", starring Da vi d Janssen , gave rise to a spate of imitative shows, all of which hod heroes looking nervously over their sho ulders .

The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was spinning on millions of turntabl es . Tom Jones was the top flick at the cinema . The Mono lisa, on loan from th e louvre, visited America. Ex-Clevelander Andy Warhol was in the vanguard of the new "po p" art movement. Roger Staubach was the Heisman Trophy winner.

What else happened in 1963, the year that Ohio's first public community college opened?

The "hot line" between Washington and Moscow was installed. Sir Winston Churchill was proclaimed

an honorary citizen of the United States . Glen Van Slyke III, of Oak Ridge, Tenn. , won the Notional Spelling Bee. The U.S. death toll in Vietnam reached 30 on Jon . 2, 1963 . A computer calculated a ne w prime number, 2,917 digits long, the largest ever proved. Bobby Fischer won the U.S. Open Chess Championship at Bay City, Mich. Oxford beat Cambridge in the annual rowing race. Jr. Lt. Valentina V. Tereshkov was sent into orbit by the Ru ssians and became the first woman space trave ler. Quintuplets were born in Venezuela and in South Dakota within an eight-day pe riod . The Cleveland Public library circulated more than 7,000,000 books and California was about to pass the state of New York in population. Th e '62 -63 Great lakes region Winter was the third coldest since the turn of the century. An Indianapolis man received a patent on a non-nicotine cigarette filled with ground corncob .

The U.S. submarine, Thresher, was lost at sea with 129 aboard . The l.A . Dodgers took the Yanks four games to zero in the World Series and the Wichita (Kan.) Dreamliners were the National Baseball Congress Non-Pro champs. Russia owed the U.S. $428,819,108 on its World War I debt and there were 4,672,000 unemployed Americans. A total of 16,456 East Germans had climbed the Berlin Wall and escaped to the West, and the biggest demonstration ever seen in Washington was held by 200,000 civil rights marchers . Cuban MIGs fired at a U.S . merchant ship and Soviet Premier Khrushchev hinted at retirement.

That's the way the wo rld was ten years and thousands of CCC students ago.

Cuyahoga Community College, Ohio 's first public community col-lege, is a two-year institution serving Greater Cleveland and environs_ The College was chartered by the State of Ohio on Dec_ 5, 1962, follow-ing the creation of the Cuyahoga Community College District by the Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners .

On Sept_ 23, 1963, CCC opened its doors to some 3 ,000 fUll-time and part-time students . This was the largest opening-day enrollment figure in the history of the flourish ing junior college movement, which now numbers more than 1,000 two-year colleges across the nation.

Nine years later, CCC's total enrollment was to swell to nearly 21 ,000, the fifth largest in the State of Ohio. In addition , thousands of youth and adults have benefited from the College 's non-credit offerings_

The College 's instructional program got underway in the Brownell Building, a 19th century schoolhouse leased from the Cleveland Board of Education. Brownell was renovated and equipped through the generous support of individual donors, foundations , business, labor and industry_

Acceptance of the College 's evening classes for part-time students necessitated the acquisition of additional space. Arrangements were made with two suburban school districts - South Euclid -Lyndhurst and Parma - to utilize classrooms for evening instruction at Valley Forge and Brush High Schools. In September of 1964, a third evening Academic Center was added at East Junior High School in Maple Heights.

Growing en rollments soon made it necessary for the College to expand its facilities . Additional space was leased in several downtown buildings.

The year 1966 was one of tremendous significance for Cuyahoga Community College. That September, CCC became a truly mUlti-campus operation with the opening of the Western Campus on the site of the former Crile Veterans Administration Hospital ill Parma-Parma Heights_ Western 's initial enrollment of almost 2,800 helped push the College 's total student body in 1966 to 10,600_

But 1966 would see still another important stride in the College's growth. That October, just one month after the opening of the Western Campus, ground was broken for a $38.5 million permanent Metropolitan Campus in downtown Cleveland . Located on a 40-acre site in the St. Vincent area , the imposing new center of learning was designed to serve some 15,000 fUll-time and part-time students.

Sept. 26, 1968, marked an important entry in the chronicle when the College took a historic step in the fulfillment of its long-range build-ing program to serve the county. Opening on that day was the first struc-ture of the ten-unit Metropolitan Campus. Some 3 ,000 day and evening students in the Career Program began attending classes in the Science and Technology Building.

By Fall of 1969, Cleveland 's new downtown showpiece was 90% complete and virtually all of Metro's instructional offerings were trans-

21

22

ferred to the innovative facility . That Fall also saw a move designed to better serve the residents of the Southeast area - the transfer of the Southeastern Academic Center to Warrensville Heights High School.

In the Spring of 1970, month -long festivities and an Open House fostered civic observance of Metro's depication.

In the Fall of 1971 , the College fulfilled its commitment to open a campus which would serve the populous Eastern segment of the county.

Nearly 1,500 youth and adults were enrolled at the Eastern Campus when it opened on Oct. 13, 1971.

Tri -C Eastern, with a broad array of both day and evening offerings , is located in Warrensville Township . On an interim site near Sunny Acres Hospital, it replaces the evening academic centers in Warrensville Heights and Lyndhurst.

Today, approximately one out of every 100 students attending a junior college in the nat ion is a student at Cuyahoga Community College. Fall of '72 enrollment at Eastern was over 2,300. Nearly 11 ,000 students were at Metro. The Western student body totaled more than 7,000. In addition , hundreds of Greater Clevelanders took advantage of TriC's varied non-credit offerings.

Cuyahoga Community College has more than fulfilled the expecta-tions of those who envisioned it here as long ago as 1953. It is a mem-ber of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secon'dary Schools . It has developed a comprehensive variety of educational offerings, and assembled an excellent faculty of highly qualified and proficient instruc-tors . And residents of the community have been a partner in this progress through approval at the polls of operating and development moneys, and with contributions to the College scholarship funds.

Responding to the sociological and economic needs of a community on the move, the College in the 1960s demonstrated a firm commitment to the broadening of educational opportunities for every resident of Cuyahoga County .

What lies ahead during the remainder of the 1970s? Projections for the entire Cuyahoga Community College District indicate that CCC can expect a total enrollment of more than 30,000 within this decade.

To meet the needs of this exploding student population , the College in 1965 began detailing its 1962 plans for development of a multi-campus operation consisting of a centrally located Metropolitan Campus, a Western Campus and an Eastern Campus.

Eastern, Metro and Western are realities today. Capital development plans for the 1970s call for replacement of

the temporary buildings on the Western Campus with a permanent facility to accommodate an eventual enrollment of 11 ,000. Ground was broken for this $30 million "College in a Park " on Nov. 17,1972. The target date for use of the new campus on York Rd. is the Spring of 1975.

Looking to the East, the College hopes to acquire a permanent site for facilities which will enable the Eastern Campus to better serve the vast Eastern community.

And , in downtown Cleveland , a $1.2 million District Office build ing is now under construction. It will house the various district functions which serve CCC's three campuses. The 25 ,OOO-square-foot building will be located on Carnegie Ave. near E. 9 St ., and is expected to be ready for occupancy in the Fall of 1973. The District Office is currently located in the old Brownell Building.

Yesterday .. . . _ today . . ... tomorrow . . . . . you ' re why we're here, placing the means of education before all the youth and adults of ou r home community.

Cuyahoga Community College is dedicated to the concept that the individual talent and fib re of America 's citizenry constitute the nation's most valuable resource .

The College, therefore, has committed itself to extend broad edu cational opportunities to the youth and adults of its community . It has established the corollary requirement of high performance f rom all those who participate in its programs.

In pursuit of these objectives , the College offers a diverse and well conceived curriculum . It maintains a staff of superior instructors whose prime duties revolve around their teaching assignments . It has accepted the challenge of providing an environment conducive to learning, with special emphasis on library and laboratory resou rces . The College encour ages independence of thought and action as essential ingredients of a functioning democracy, stressing the development of value judgment and selfdiscipline.

Cuyahoga Community College expects all students to achieve compe-. tence in the fundamental processes of reading, writing, speaking, listen-ing and computation. All students are expected to develop an apprecia-tion of the scientific method in the solution of problems.

Another prime concern of the College is that students develop an awareness of the unique values that are our national heritage, including the primacy of moral and spiritual concerns. Axiomatically, the College expects its students to manifest an increasing sensitivity to those respon-sibilities inherent in American citizenship. As one way of fulfilling these responsibilities, the College seeks to inspire each student to achieve and maintain a high level of occupational proficiency.

Furthermore, Cuyahoga Community College expects all students to show their respect for this educational opportunity through appropriate behavior. Students are to maintain regular attendance, display exemplary conduct, and apply themselves diligently in the quest for the wisdom and knowledge upon which their contributions to society will be based .

Planning and policymaking by the Trustees of the College have been consistent with the purposes and objectives of the twoyear college. Specifically, the Official Plan for Cuyahoga Community College, adopted by the Board of Trustees on Nov. 28, 1962, sets forth the following stu-dent objectives:

1. To see his cultural heritage in its historical perspective. 2. To live effectively in accordance with the conditions of his physical

envi ron ment. 3. To recognize and guard the rights and responsibilities of citizenship

in a free society. 4. To guide his life by sound moral and spiritual values. 5. To appreciate and participate in creative activities. 6. To ach ieve satisfactory personal, socia1 and community relationships. 7. To apply critical and discriminating thought to the solution of prob-

lems. 8. To accept responsibility for his decisions. 9 . To develop the basic skills of communication.

10. To enjoy the benefits of a rewarding and productive vocation . 11. To acquire a positive attitude toward, and strengthened foundation

for, lifelong learning.

lUghts and ResponslbWfies oftbe College Community

In December of 1968, the College's Board of Trustees adopted the Policy on Rights and Responsibilities developed and approved by a committee on student conduct comprised of representatives of the College 's student body, Board of Trustees , faculty and administration.

The policy, codified in response to a directive by the l07th General Assembly of the State of Ohio, was prepared in an effort to encourage an environment conducive to the growth and development of all members of the College community .

In preparation of the document , a positive attitude and a consistency with the mores of this society were maintained .

The policy not only stresses the responsibilities that are necessary to freedom, but also establishes and protects the rights of all members of the College community.

The College's Policy on Rights and Responsibilities may be found in the Eastern , Metropolitan or Western Campus Student Handbook.

Philosophy of the College Cuyahoga Community College 's statement of philosophy was de-

veloped by faculty members and administrative personnel in the Spring of 1964. The College commits itself to the following philosophy:

As our culture becomes increasingly complex, we must provide edu-cational opportunities beyond those afforded by the secondary schools-opportunities that are easily available , geographically and financially , to any citizen who can profit from them. This premise has particular signifi-cance in a free society such as ours because we feel that the preservation and development of any culture depends upon the enlightenment and the participation of its members - upon their ability to make choices and accept responsi bi I ities.

Consistent with this belief, the College is unique in that - while it is sensitive to the peculiar natural and social forces affecting members of this community, and to the differing interests and needs of these people - it is aware also of the elements of learning common to them all.

The College, then , welcomes those who wish to develop abilities and prepare for responsiblities beyond their present experiences; whether such students plan to continue in senior colleges, pursue vocational or professional programs, or undertake studies to broaden their vision.

In addition to furthering the students' objectives, we will undertake to excite thei r i ntellectua I cu riosity; give them a better understand i ng and appreciation of themselves and of their environment; help them evaluate objectively new ideas and concepts; and, finally, encourage them to develop their reasoning , to cultivate self-discipline, and to respect them-selves and others .

Inasmuch as learning extends beyond the scope of the classroom and the campus , the College strives to promote the intellectual activities of the community and to exert its every energy to enrich the culture of the area which it serves.

This philosophy will be implemented by a continuing pursuit of academic and teaching excellence.

28

I Cuyahoga Community College exists throu gh the support of the

county and state in which it resides . As a locally controlled and admin-istered institution, the College is especially attuned to its own com -munity - Cuyahoga County.

This close identification with its home area, one of the prime advan-tages of the comprehensive community college , leads to a diversity of educational , occupational and cultural offerings designed spec ifically to meet the needs of the area 's residents . Some of these offerings are traditional or conventional, but many represent a bold and imaginative step beyond the ordinary.

Recognizin g that students differ greatly in experience, needs, capac-ities, aspirations and interests , the College pursues the following major purposes:

1. Academic preparation for advanced formal study. The Arts and Sciences curriculum at Cuyahoga Community College in-cludes those courses normally taken in the first two years of a traditional four-year Bachelor 's degree program. The student may follow this University Parallel sequence for one or two years , and then transfer as a sophomore or junior to a four-year institution to continue working toward his Bachelor 's degree.

2. Career preparation . A broad range of Technological, Business and other occupational offerings are available at the College. Course sequences prepare students for careers in fields where increasingly critical manpower shortages exist. The Career Pro-gram at Tri-C also offers courses for those who wish to refresh or improve their present skills .

3. Community services - adult education . As a result of its close identification with the needs of the community, the College is able to provide representative cultural , educational and occu-pati onal offerings as determined by public interest. Community services are offered in cooperation with other educational insti-tutions , business , labor , government, health agencies, individ-uals and organizations within the community.

4. General education . A prime concern of the College is the im-parting of the knowledge , skills and attitudes needed by each individual if he is to be effective as a person , as a member of a famil y, as a wo rker and as a citizen in a free society .

5. Educational and occupational counseling. Comprehensive counseling service is stressed to assist both full -time and part-time students in the selection and pursuit of goals compatible with their interest s, aptitudes and values .

Prior to the Summer of 1971, the land at the corner of Harvard Rd. and Robert Bishop Dr. was a field in the highlands of Cuyahoga County. By Oct. 13, 1971, the field had become the Eastern Campus of Cuyahoga Community College-welcoming nearly 1,500 students on opening day.

The landscape remains green-the view open for miles. But now-implanted in the center of this-is a humming educational facility. Lo-cated at 25444 Harvard Rd. , Warrensville Township, Tri-C Eastern became the third CCC campus and furthered the College's efforts to make low-cost higher education easily accessible to all members of the Greater Cleveland community.

The Eastern Campus replaces both the Eastern and Southeastern Academic Centers which formerly offered evening classes at Charles F. Brush and Warrensville Heights High Schools. Unlike the academic centers, however, the Eastern Campus offers a comprehensive day and evening program similar to those of the Metropolitan and Western Campuses.

Although Tri-C Eastern is an interim facility-plans call for develop-ment of a permanent facility in the future-the movable, prefabricated, modular steel facilities now in use will be utilized in the permanent Eastern Campus.

The Eastern Campus contains air-conditioned classrooms and lecture rooms , several laboratories which comprise the science center, and several other rooms for specialized curriculums. Tri-C Eastern's functional and modern structure also houses the campus library, which is adjacent to the District Technical Library Service, a leisure/lunch lounge, student center, bookstore, instructional service offices , and administrative, faculty and counseling offices.

Additional facilities were added to accommodate increased enroll -ment - 2,319 students in the Fall quarter - during the 1972-73 aca-demic year. The lower level of the new two-story wing is completely open for large group instruction, assembly and activities such as dramatic productions. The second floor provides different sized spaces for various elements of the instructional program . The new wing expands the Eastern Campus facility to 65,000 square feet.

Eastern , the newest member of the Tri-C community, is clearly thriv-ing and growing, demonstrating the need for a campus to serve the eastern segment of Cuyahoga County.

Tomorrow became today on Sept. 29, 1969. That day marked the grand opening of Cuyahoga Community College's first permanent facility - the innovative new Metropolitan Campus in downtown Cleveland .

A metamorphosis in the St. Vincent area changed 40 acres of what once were aged commercial buildings and tenements into a resplendent tenblock-Iong center of higher learning.

The $38 .5 million facility is at 2900 Community College Ave. (formerly Scovill Ave .). It extends from E. 24 to E. 33 Sts. and to Woodland Ave .

The space-age Metropolitan Campus is designed to serve 15,000 day and evening, full- and part-time students.

It has been conceived as a stimulating academic environment which will enrich the entire community - a center for clinics, public meetings, symposiums, lectures, orchestral and choral concerts, recitals, films, plays, operas, art shows, intercollegiate athletic contests and many other events.

Ultramodern and proven electronic teaching and learning equipment is being utilized. Electronic hardware includes open and closed circuit television reception and transmission equipment, computer and computer-assisted instructional systems, audio-visual equipment as well as elec-trical-electronic apparatus for use within specific laboratories .

The Science and Technology Building, which opened its doors for instruction in the Fa II of 1968, is the la rgest structu re of the ten-un it learning complex. In addition to 13 science laboratories, it contains class-room and laboratory facilities for a wide range of career-oriented curricu-lums which prepare students to step directly into this fast-moving age of technological advancement. Equipment and facilities are designed to permit flexibility of instruction in the constantly changing fields of Busi-ness, Engineering, Health and Public Service Technologies.

The magnificent Metro complex floats on a platform-walkway. The buildings are harmoniously arranged around student courts with study and leisure areas. Center of the architectural focus is an inner courtyard , the " Fountain Court ". Students can traverse the " all -weather" campus via heated underground corridors or open walkways through the inner courts.

The central and dominant structure is the si x-story Library. The Computation Center is located on the top floor.

Other highlights of the new Tri-C Metro Campus include a 376-seat theatre , bookstore (located on the southern side of the inner courtyard) , 100-station foreign language library, a 3 ,000-seat gymnasium and a 910-seat auditorium, home of the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra.

Administration and Student Services Building Humanities Building Science and Technology Building Student Center Art and Music Center Theatre and Media Center Library Auditorium Maintenance and Operations Building Physical Education Building These new dimensions in public higher education were hailed in

1966 as one of the nation's outstanding examples of "excellence in the design and development of college faci I ities."

The College was the sole Ohio institution honored in the first annual Design Award Program for Higher Education Facilities, co-sponsored by the United States Office of Education, the American Institute of Architects, and Education Facilities Laboratories, Inc. There were a total of 258 insti-tutions in the competition and only 27 awards were made.

Accompanying its 1969 opening were the salutes: "an architectural showpiece" .... "innovative, handsome and well conceived" ... .. "functional without being frivolous".

The Greater Cleveland Growth Association also has cited the campus as an "outstanding" architectural concept. And, in 1972, the Garden Center of Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Growth Association pre-sented an award to Metro for its landscaping.

\\v\\VIIIIIIE~llllrIIIIIIE IIIIIIR t\J (Altt1IIIIIIIIIIIIPW ~ On Sept. '19, 1966, Cuyahoga Community College brought a compre-

hensive day and evening program 'of public higher education to the 400 ,000 residents of Greater Cleveland's Western and Southwestern sectors .

The treescaped Western Campus in Parma-Parma Heights opened its doors with nearly 2,800 full and parttime students . By the Fall of 1972, the Western student body totaled more than 7,000,

Offerings at TriC Western include the Arts and Sciences curriculum, and concentrations in a variety of career-oriented Technological and Business areas ranging from Aviation Technology and Inhalation Therapy Technology to Court and Conference Reporting and Real Estate.

The Western Campus also makes available, within its Community Services Program, a full range of credit and non-credit courses which reflect the community 's special needs and interests .

Western is located on the site of the former Crile Veterans Adminis-tration Hospital at 7300 York Rd ., Parma. A total of 130 acres and some 60 buildings were assigned to the College by the federal government for a nominal tran sfer fee early in 1966. During the Summer of 1966, exten-sive renovation and equipping were completed to ready the spacious facility for College instruction . The College acquired an additional 53 acres of land from the Federal government for the Western Campus during the Summer of 1971. The 53 acres were part of the former U.S. Army Nike Site in Parma.

In addition to a large number of classrooms and instructional labora-tories, facilities include the library , cafeteria , bookstore , auditorium , offices of the student newspaper, The Pulse, the Instructional Services Center, faculty and administrative offices , Student Services, a theatre and several outdoor athletic fields. Other features include archery and karate rooms , a teletype-reading room, a student rathskeller and a recreational area known as "The Wheel".

Identification with community needs is the hallmark of the compre-hensive community college. The community-college coalescence has been especially pronounced at Tri-C Western. The Cleveland Institute of Music's Southwest Branch; the Northern Ohio Examination Center for the National Association of Securities Dealers , Inc.; and the Cuyahoga Astronomical Society have been quartered here. A Radio Amateur Civilian Emergency Service station , designed to serve 13 communities in time of natural or military disaster, is based at Western.

As a community focal point, Western has been the site of such diverse events as Girl Scout meetings, a dance workshop for high school students, Little League baseball games, a Summer day camp for non-ambulatory and severely retarded children , and a children's wrestling clinic.

To better serve residents of the West-Southwest community, con-struction of a new $30 million Western Campus is now underway. Ground-breakingforthis "College in a Park" was on Nov. 17,1972.

Six buildings, interconnected by enclosed circulation corridors, will be erected on the 183.5-acre Western Campus site. Four of the six build ings will be instructional wings , each of which will house a mixture of the academic disciplines. This " interm ix" of the Arts and Sciences, Business and Technological Programs will provide an opportunity for students and faculty from the various academic pursuits to meet and become acquainted.

The spirit of Western 's present Triat r ium will be maintained in the Triatrium of the new facilities . The new and larger "Tri" will contain study areas, an information center, dining facilities , student lounges, .counseling offices , a central library, administrative offices , admissions and records offices, and conference rooms which will be available for community use.

53

54

The new Western Campus will include a modern 475-seat theatre which will extend the cultural opportunities available to residents of the West-Southwest area. The campus-to-be will have a well -equipped physical education plant as well as outdoor playing fields . The water retention basin being developed to solve critical drainage problems will serve as an ice-skating rink during the Winter. The physical education facilities will include an indoor pool which will be made available for use by area residents .

The new Western Campus, designed to accommodate an eventual enrollment of 11 ,000 students , will be " planted " in and around the numerous trees on the site. Of varied types , sizes and ages , they are an essential part of the beauty and tranquillity of Tri-C Western.

Target date for the opening of the " College in a Park" is the Spring of 1975. Meanwhile, instruction continues as usual at a " compressed" Western Campus in the rem aining buildings of the old facility.

Cuyahoga Community College offers three major programs of in -struction.

The Arts and Sciences Program provides the first two years of a traditional college curriculum. Included in these offerings are University Parallel sequences for students who wish to transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

The Career Program is designed to fulfill the unique employment requirements of this community.

The Community Services Program provides representative cultural, educational, occupational and avocational offerings as determined by community interest and need.

67

~~ ~@ ~fiIill~ IT1s~ The Arts and Sciences Program provides a wide range of course

offerings in the Liberal Arts for all students at the College. Some students only take several courses in the program, but many enroll in the two-year sequences leading to the Associate in Arts degree.

A large number of students in the Arts and Sciences Program plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities as sophomores or juniors after one or two years at Tri-C. They are enrolled in what is usually referred to as the University Parallel curriculum, courses paralleling those offered in the first two years of a four-year institution . Credits earned in this curriculum may be transferred to colleges and universities as the first and second years of a Bachelor's degree program.

Tri -C's University Parallel curriculum includes many courses de-signed to prepare students for upper division study in such specialized fields as medicine, dentistry, law, business, education , engineering and the engineering technologies .

Career Program The second major objective of Cuyahoga Community College is to

develop a co-mprehensive series of Technological and Business courses to fulfill the occupational needs of the community's citizens and employers. The Career Program works toward this objective by offering specialized instruction in more than 35 occupational fields in Business, Engineering, Health and Public Service Technologies.

Many students in the Career Program take only a few courses, re-learning or improving skills they already possess. Other students, planning a technical or paraprofessional career, enroll in a two-year sequence leading to an Associate in Science degree or in a shorter sequence leading to a certificate .

The significance of Tri-C's Career Program is derived from its immediate relevancy to the dynamic manpower situation in this com-munity. Trained and skilled personnel are needed to meet new and increasingly exacting qualifications in many fields. Today, it is estimated that one-fourth of the entire United States labor force is working in tech-nical , paraprofessional positions that did not even exist in 1930. The Career Program prepares the student to step directly into this fast -moving age of technological advancement.

In each area of the Career Program , an Advisory Committee works with the College to make the preparation as valuable and up-to-date as possible. These civic-minded representatives of local business, labor, industry, government , health agencies and public service assist the College in the identification of needs and the development of new areas within the program. 69

The Community Services Program was estab lished by the College to offer a broad spectrum of cultural, educational and occupational offerings to residents of the Greater Cleveland community. Transcending traditional limitations, the Community Services Program offers a variety of late afternoon, evening and weekend courses, credit and noncredit, for stu dents of all ages. The time, place and subject matter of these offerings are determined by community interest and need. .

The credit offerings, with few exceptions; do not differ from those within the regular instructional program. Noncredit offerings, however, are designed to meet specific educational requirements outside the regular instructional program. Often they take such forms as oneday seminars, special programs combining facets of regular College . courses, and workshops lasting from several days to several weeks.

For example, the Metropolitan and Western Campuses have offered Refresher Programs for Nurses. The Western Campus has conducted a 160hour Firefighting Training Program in conjunction with the North eastern Ohio Fire Chiefs Association. Other Community Service projects include Workshops in Dance at Western and a Management Tra ining Program for Minority Contractors at Metro.

All three campuses offer many noncredit courses. These have in cluded "Basic Concepts in Metalcasting" , "E.S.P. - the World of Psychic Phenomena" , "Movie History of Science Fiction", " Women and Their Autos", "The Metric System" , "Cleveland Zoo Logic" , "English for Foreign Born ", " Childbirth Preparat ion ", " Yoga " , "Your Personal Income Tax" , " The Art of Batik", " Data Processi ng", "Balkan Dances" , " Stock Market Investing" , "Introduction to Guitar Playing" and "Photography for Fun" .

Many evening courses have been offered at offcampus locations such as the Federal Bu ilding, HoughNorwood Family Health Care Center, the Ford Motor Company 's Brook Park plant , the Lakewood Hospital and N.A.S.A.

The Community Services Program also conducts several continuing programs tailored to meet specific economic or social needs. These in clude or have included Project EVE, the Paraprofessional Training Program, the Career Opportunities reacher Project, Project Search and the Com munity Educational Services Center.

"THERE IS A HISTORY ,0 Al.L ME.N'S LIVES""

I

Project EVE is an occupational and educational counseling and re-ferral center for adult women planning to enter or reenter the work world. It has served more than 6,000 women since it was established in 1966. Project EVE provides information about education, volunteer work and employment opportunities in Greater Cleveland through individual coun seling, five-week group discussion and counseling series, tours and an annual Career Institute.

The Paraprofessional Training Program, formerly known as Project New Careers, has, since 1967, prepared more than 500 inner-city resi-dents for careers in human and social services.

Project Search, located in Cleveland's Hough area, and the Com-munity Educational Services Center, in the West Central area, provide counseling services and information about educational opportunities to area residents.

The Career Opportunities Teacher Project gives teacher aides in the Cleveland Public Schools a chance to become certified teachers. En -rollees range from ages 17 to 58 and are selected by three community agencies serving minority groups within the city.

Another function of the Community Services Program is to encourage active involvement between the community and the College. Non-profit organizations and community residents are encouraged to use College facilities for meetings and other events . The Western Campus, for example, serves as the Northern Ohio Examination Center for the National Associa-tion of Securities Dealers , Inc. The Southwest Branch of the Cleveland Institute of Music is quartered here. In addition, Western houses an amateur emergency radio station. Its athletic fields are used for Little League activities. It conducts a dance workshop for elementary and high school pupils. Girl Scouts hold their meetings at Western.

The Parma-Parma Heights campus also reaches out into the com-munity with a special service for ex-servicemen. "Veteran's Hotline" pro-vides information on educational programs and services, and encourages veterans to return to school.

The Metropolitan Campus Auditorium serves as the home of the Cleveland Philharmonic. Metro's physical education facilities are open to the community on Saturdays and Sundays under the free Weekenc;l Recreation Program. The Metro Community Services Program also con-ducts free Saturday classes in dance, music, drama and art for county youngsters.

Individuals and organizations ,within Cuyahoga County are invited to explore with the College ways in which additional service can be pro-vided to the community.

BLACK AFFAIRS The Department of Black Affairs at the Metropolitan Campus was

established in the Fall of 1970. It was founded to help prepare people to live more equitably in a multi -racial society.

The objectives of the Department of Black Affairs are to provide a more accurate view of African and African-American heritage and culture, to enhance the selfconcept of African-Americans , to provide a relevant education for African-Americans , and to help prepare students vocationally for today's and tomorrow's world.

The department is located in the Met ro Campus Library, room 310. An Afr ican-American Collection affords st udents the opportunity to do research and explore t he African-American and "black experience" . Muntu Drum, a newspaper, and Black Ascensions, a literary magazine, are under its aegis.

Black studies courses are available in a var iety of subject areas. Credit courses are available which deal directly with the " black experi-ence" - the culture , economics, history, language, politics , psychology and social institutions of the African-American.

Credits earned in this curriculum generally are transferable toward a Bachelor's degree at four-year colleges and universities. The History se-quence-courses 630-170,630-171 and 630-172-may be used to help fulfill the graduation requirements for an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science degree at Cuyahoga Community College.

The Department of Black Affairs also sponsors the Metro Community Forum as well as sem inars and workshops to bring information about minorities to a wider audience.

Students interested in pursuing a program of black studies should consult their counselor and/or the Department Head of Black Affairs.

ETHNIC HERITAGE CENTER The Metro Campus' Ethnic Heritage Center opened in the Fall of

1971. It was founded to help bring about awareness in all ethnic groups - primarily European , Appalachian, American Indian, Spanish-speaking - of their contributions to American society.

The Ethnic Heritage Center, perhaps the first of its kind in the nation, is quartered in the Metro Campus Library, room 410.

Among the events sponsored by the center have been a recital by Japanese guitar ist Norihiko Watanabe; a talk by Polish film director Krzysztos Zanussi and a showing of his movie, Behind the Wall ; a photo exhibit featuring a 775-year-old monastery in Athos , Greece; a Mountain Music Festival; and a Macedonian Folklore and Music Festival. Apr. 28, 1972, the center hosted the International Youth Forum on Heritage.

The Ethnic Heritage Center is developing an ethnic studies program , documentation center and library.

As part of the Metro Campus' non-credit offerings, classes in ethnic cultures have been offered at neighborhood libraries. These have included Czech , Slovak, Ukrainian , Polish and Italian cultu res as well as a course in advanced Hungarian language. Among the non-credit courses offered at Metro have been ;'Conversational English for Non-Native Speakers", " Ad -vanced Hungarian Folk Dancing" and " An Indian Viewpoint on American Indians" _

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARDS All students are issued identification (I-D) cards . These cards are

required for registration activities , for library checkout purposes, and for admittance to athletic , cultural and social events . Currently enrolled stu-dents are expected to carry their 1-0 cards at all times. They should be presented on request from anyone in authority in the College at any time.

The 1-0 card is non-transferable and is void unless it is signed by the student and validated for the current term .

Loss or theft of an 1-0 card should be reported within 24 hours to the Office of Admissions and Records . Replacement cost for a duplicate 1-0 card is $1.25.

RESIDENCY Because Cuyahoga Community College is supported by the residents

of Cuyahoga County, tuition surcharges are required of out-of-county and out-of-state students who wish to enroll at the College. A student's resi dency will be determined at the time of registration according to the residency policy of the State of Ohio, the Ohio Board of Regents and the Cuyahoga Community College Board of Trustees. Requests to change legal residence should be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records. A general residency statement can be found in the Class Schedule booklet.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR NAME All changes in address or name should be reported to the Office of

Admissions and Records at the campus where your records are kept. A change to a Cuyahoga County address does not automatically entitle a student to Cuyahoga County resident instructional fees.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS As part of the admissions procedure, international students are

required to demonstrate proficiency in the use of the English language. An examination may be required to determine such adequacy, and previous work at other educational institutions will also be considered. For further information, contact the Office of Admissions and Records.

TRANSFER STUDENTS Students transferring to Cuyahoga Community College from another

college or university should comply with the established admissions pro-cedures . Students who were placed on academic probation or dismissal by their previous college or university will be placed on first probation if admitted to Cuyahoga Community College. They will remain on first probation until they have attempted 15 or more quarter credits and have removed themselves from probation or have been placed on second pro-bation . See ACADEMIC PROBATION.

Transfer credits will not be accepted for courses in which a grade of less than "C" has been earned. Transfer credits accepted from other collegiate institutions will be entered on the College's permanent record forms, but the grades earned in these courses will not be indicated. Only course grades earned at Cuyahoga Community College will be used in computing grade-point averages.

If a student has been dismissed for disciplinary reasons from the last college or university attended, he should normally be eligible to return to that institution before being considered for admission to Cuyahoga Community College. Petitions for exceptions to this policy may be sub-mitted to the Director of Admissions and Records for consideration by the Admissions Board.

PROGRAM CHANGES A student may make changes in his course schedule during the

program adjustment period. However, his choice of cou rses during this period is limited. Therefore, it is highly desirable that courses be selected with care during the registration to avoid the necessity of an adjustment. See Class Schedule booklet for dates of program adjustment.

AUDITING A COURSE An auditor is a student enrolled in a course for which he will receive

neither grade nor credit. The auditor is permitted to attend the class but is not required to submit assignments or take exam inations. The fee for auditing is the same as that for enrolling for credit.

Careful consideration is in order before requesting permission fo audit a course - audit status is not convertible to credit status once the form for auditing a course has been completed and filed. Students approaching this decision with any uncertainty are advised to consult with a counselor before requesting audit status.

Students who are not currently attending Cuyahoga Community College may register to audit a course during the first week of classes, if space is available in the class at that time.

Students who are currently enrolled for credit at Cuyahoga Com-munity College and whD wish to audit one or more courses will be allowed to add these during the first week of classes , providing space is available.

Registration by mail is not available to auditors .

READMISSION A student applying for readmission following his first dism issal for

academic reasons is subject to the following conditions: (1) If dismissed with a cumulative grade-point average of 0.75 or

higher, the student may apply for immediate readmission for the next academic term . If he is readmitted , his permanent record will bear the notation, "Dismissed - poor scholarship, readmitted on second probation ." Students readmitted under these circumstances will be placed on second probation and will be allowed to enroll for a maximum of 11 quarter credits. (Exceptions to this maximum will be considered by the Admis-sions Appeals Board.)

(2) A student dismissed with a cumulative grade-point average of less than 0.75 may qualify for readmiss ion by exercising one of three options. First, he may remain out of Cuyahoga Com-munity College for at least one full quarter before applying for readmission. Secondly, he may petition the Admissions Appeals Board to be considered for immediate readmission on second probation. Finally, the student may elect to use the " Change of Degree Objective" plan to be readmitted in good standing.

Readmission following the second or subsequent dismissal will be permitted only after the student has remained out of Cuyahoga Commun ity College for at least one full quarter. He should then petition the Admis-sions Board to be considered for readmission. If the Board 's action is affi rmative, and if the student is permitted to continue without a "Change of Degree Objective" , he will be placed on second probation . If the student reenters with a "Change of Degree Objective" , he will be admitted in good standing.

CHANGE OF DEGREE OBJECTIVE If a student is not satisfactorily progressing in an Associate degree

program , or if he has been dismissed for academic reasons , he may petition the Admissions Appeals Board for permission to change his degree objective or to pursue a Certificate Program. The following pro-cedure should be followed in making this change:

(1) The student is to discuss the prospective change with his counselor who will initiate the appropriate form .

(2) He is to obtain the approval of the department head of t he program which he plans to enter.

Following approval by the Admissions Appeals Board, the student 's permanent reco rd will indicate his change of degree objective . Grades for all courses taken prior to this change will not be considered in com-puting the student 's cumulative grade-point average at Cuyahoga Com-mun ity College. He will , t herefore , be adm itted to the new program in good standing, and credits successfully earned prior to the change will still count toward completion of the new program. .

After the change of degree has been approved, a student must earn a minimum of 24 quarter credits and complete all other requirements to be eligible for graduation. NOTE: Students planning to transfer to another college or university are

cClutioned that the receiving institution may use all grades earned in computing gradepoint averages for admission or other purposes.

CHANGE OF STATUS If a student currently enrolled in 11 or fewer quarter credits wishes

to enroll for the next academic term for 12 or more quarter credits, he is asked to file a CHANGE OF STATUS form in the Office of Admissions and Records. He will then be notified of the credentials needed to make this change.

To be considered for Change of Status, the student is required to have a cumulative grade-point average of 1.00 or higher at the time the request is submitted.

COURSE LOAD The normal course load for a full-time student is 15 quarter credits.

A counselor or advisor may recommend a heavier or lighter load, how-ever, because of past performance or other factors .

A new student who ranked in the lowest one-fourth of his high school graduating class may not enroll for more than 12 quarter credits. Pre-viously enrolled students who have attended less than a total of nine quarter credits at the College, and who ranked in the lowest one-fourth of their high school graduating class, also may not enroll for more than 12 quarter credits.

The College Entrance Examination Board prepares tests to grade high school students who have courses under this program. The College will grant credit for selected courses in which sat isfactory scores have been attained by the high school student.

Interested students should consult their high school counselor or call the Office of Admissions and Records at the TriC campus they wish to attend.

ATTENDANCE Regular class attendance and consistent study habits are essential

to success in college and are required of all students at Cuyahoga Com munity College . A student may be dropped from a course by his instructor whenever total absences exceed three hours in any quarter - if , in the instructor's judgment , the student cannot benefit from further class instruction.

If illness or emergency should necessitate brief absence from class, the student is asked to confer with the instructor on return.

If a student is absent due to prolonged illness, for a week or more, he is urged to consult the Health Service on his campus. In the event of problems arising out of the absence in relation to class performance, he should confer with his counselor or instructor.

ATTENDING COLLEGE WHILE EMPLOYED Many students find it necessary to work while attending college. By

careful and realistic planning, work and study can be successfully combined .

Each credit hour generally requires a minimum of two hours of outside study each week. On this basis, students employed full time should attempt to carry no more than two courses per quarter. Those employed part time should carry a course load proportionate to their hours of employment.

FINAL EXAMINATIONS A f inal examination is required in each course and is given at a

regularly scheduled time. Except under emergency circumstances , stu dents may not be excused from these examinations. If a student is unable to appear, it is his responsibility to inform his inst ructor prior to the scheduled examination.

If an examination is officially postponed, the st udent will be assigned an "I" (incomplete) as his grade for that course . You must personally reo quest an incomplete grade, it is not granted automatically. Incomplete grades are to be removed by completing the examination no later than the fifth week of the following academic quarter. Failure to do so will result in an " F" (failure) grade.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION A student who feels he can demonstrate ability and knowledge in

a particular subject may petition the appropriate academic dean for the privilege of taking a special examination and/ or performing a special assignment for credit in that subject. An examination fee of $5 is assessed for each course involved . A student is not permitted to earn more than 18 units of credit by examination.

Credit by examination requires College-wide approval as well as that of the appropriate academic department. A standard symbol indicating "credit by examination " will be posted on the student's permanent record, but letter grades or quality points will not be used .

Courses taken by examination cannot be used as part of the repeat policy because no grade is given.

RECORDS - GRADES AND QUALITY POINTS Final grades are issued at the end of each quarter. Letter grades

earn a number of quality points per credit unit according to the following schedule:

A - Excellent . .. ................ .. .. .... . 4 8 -Good .... . .. . .. ............. . .... .. 3 C - Average .. .. . .............. . ........ 2 D - 8elow Average .. ......... ....... ..... 1 F - Failure .... .. . ... . ............... .. . 0

*W - Withdrawal ................ . ........ 0 I -Incomplete ..... ...... .... ... ... .... . . 0

*S - Audit . .. ....... . .. . ..... .......... . 0 The student's grade point average is computed by the following

formula: Total Quality Points Earned

= Grade-Point Average *Total Units of Credit Attempted

For example, if you took five courses worth three credits each, you would be attempting 15 total units of credit. If you earned four "8's" and one "A" as final grades, you would have a total of 48 quality points. Your grade-point average would be 3.20 - 48 divided by 15. * NOTE: Courses in which a student earns grades of "W" or "S" are not

considered part of the total. credit units attempted.

HONORS Each quarter, the Dean's List gives public recognition to those

students whose academic achievements are considered outstanding. This list includes all students who have earned a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher in attempting 12 or more credit hours during the preceding quarter.

ACADEMIC WARNING NOTICES To alert those students who are earning less than a "C" at mid-

quarter, Cuyahoga Community College issues academic warnings. Stu-dents receiving such notices are invited to discuss their progress with their instructors or counselors.

REPEATING A COURSE A student may repeat a course in which he has earned a grade of

"0" or "F". The most recently earned grade in that course will be used in computing his cumulative grade-point average at Cuyahoga Community College.

NOTE: Students planning to transfer to another college or uni -versity are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades earned in repeated courses to compute grade-point averages for admission or other purposes.

WITHDRAWING FROM A CLASS A student may withdraw from a class at any time prior to the last

two weeks of instruction upon completion of the necessary forms in the Office of Admissions and Records.

Students enrolled for 12 or more quarter credits are to confer with the instructor and may, if they so desire, confer with a counselor and/ or advisor as part of the official withdrawal procedure. Students enrolled for less than 12 quarter credits should also confer with the instructor or a counselor and/ or advisor prior to withdrawal .

A student who withdraws from a course during the first three weeks of a quarter will have no notation made on his permanent record.

A student who withdraws from a course after the third week will receive a grade of "W" on his permanent record. An instructor may with-draw a student from a course for excessive absences. This may be done after the third week, but prior to the last two weeks, of a quarter. A student withdrawn in this manner also will receive a grade of "W" on his perma-nent record.

DEFINITION OF CLASS STANDING A freshman or first-year student at Cuyahoga Community College is

one who has earned 44 or fewer quarter credits. This includes any credits transferred from other colleges or universities.

Students who have earned 45 or more quarter hours (30 semester hours), including any transferred from other colleges or universities, are considered sophomores or second-year students.

TRANSFERRING TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS Counselors and other members of the College staff will advise and

assist any student planning to transfer to a four-year college or university. They will help the student in preparing for and completing the transfer process.

These requirements are set forth in the catalogue of each college and university. Reference copies of these catalogues are available in the campus library and in the Offices of Admissions and Records at both campuses.
