Cuyahoga Community College:

Where We've Been Where We're Going

Cuyahoga Community College, Ohio's first public community college, is a two-year institution of higher education whose aim is to provide com-prehensive educational opportunities to the citizens of the community it serves_

Now, as when it was chartered in December of 1962, CCC's instruc-tional programs serve the educational , career, and technical-occupational needs of Cuyahoga County residents and are complemented by a wide range of community and stude'lit services.

CCC is one College with three major campuses - Eastern in War-rensville Township, Metropolitan in downtown Cleveland and Western in Parma - and a District Administrative Services Building.

It has grown from an initial first day enrollment of nearly 3 ,000 students on September 23, 1963 - the largest opening day enrollment in the history of the community-junior college movement - to 27,497 students in the fall of 1975. CCC's current enrollment makes it the third largest higher education institution in the State of Ohio.

In addition, 10,000 persons benefit each year from the College's numerous non-credit classes, workshops and seminars.

CCC's first classes in 1963 were held in the Brownell Building, a 19th Century schoolhouse leased from the Cleveland Board of Education-and located on East 14th St. in downtown Cleveland. Brownell was reno-vated and equipped through the generous support of individual donors, foundations, business, labor and industry.

Growing enrol lments soon made it necessary for the College to ac-qu ire additional space. Through arrangements made with suburban school districts, CCC began offering evening classes for its students at three loca-tions on the east, southeast and west sides of the county and leased more space in several downtown buildings.

13

14

In the fall of 1966, CCC became a truly multi-campus operation. That September, the Western Campus was opened on the site housing the for-mer Crile Veterans Hospital in Parma-Parma Heights with an enrollment of almost 2,800 full- and part-time students. Just one month later, ground was broken for a permanent Metropolitan Campus on a 40-acre site in downtown Cleveland near St. Vincent Hospital.

Opening of a third campus - Eastern in Warrensville Township-in the fall of 1971 enabled the College to further its commitment of pro-viding educational opportunities to persons throughout the County.

In the three years that followed , construction of a new $30 million Western Campus facility neared completion , CCC took occupancy of its newly-completed and centrally-located District Administrative Services Building, and a study began on a search for a possible site for a per-.manent Eastern Campus.

The most important part of Cuyahoga Community College's past , however, is the 175,000 students who have entered its doors since 1963. They contribute significantly to the College's present and future goal of making the entire County its Campus.

Educational Objectives

Cuyahoga Community College is dedicated to the concept that the individual talent and fibre 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 from all those who participate in its programs.

In pursuit of these objectives, the College offers a diverse and well-conceived curriculum. It mair:ltains 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 resources. The College encour-ages independence of thought and action as essential ingred ients of a functioning democracy, stressing the development of value judgment and self-discipline.

Cuyahoga Community College expects all students to achieve compe-tence in the fundamental processes of readin g, 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 wisdorn and knowledge upon which their contributions to society will be based.

Planning and policy-making by the Trustees of the College have been consistent with the purposes and objectives of the two-year 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 one's cultural heritage in its historical perspective. 2. To live effectively in accordance with the conditions of one 's physical

environment. 3. To recognize and guard the rights and responsibinties of citizenship

in a free society. 4 . To guide one's life by sound moral and spiritual values . 5. To appreciate and participate in creative activities. 6. To achieve satisfactory personal, social and community relationships. 7. To apply critical and discri minating thought to the solution of prob-

lems. 8. To accept responsibility for one's 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.

Rights and Responsibilities

of the 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.

15

16

The policy, codified in response to a directive by the 107th 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 8'ollege has recently examined and revitalized its philosophy and mission statement in' order to better serve student needs and our rapidly changing society. In May of 1975, CCC faculty , staff, students, Trustees and community representatives devoted two days to an intensive working session. The result was the following Mission Statement which focuses on CCC's role in the community:

Cuyahoga Comunity College is a public , opendoor twoyear communitybased college accessible within a minimum of bar riers to all. Its mission is to provide lowcost, quality, lifelong educational opportunities and to assume leadership in a metro-politan , multi-racial setting for meeting the changing needs and improving the quality of life for the individual and the com-munity. The Mission Statement, which still is subject to modification, charts

out Cuyahoga Community College's belief in and commitment to providing educational opportunities to any citizen who can profit from them. The College welcomes those who wish to develop abilities beyond their present skills; whether students plan to continue stud ies at a four-year college, pursue vocational or professional programs, or undertake studies that will broaden their cultural or social lives. CCC believes it must give students a better understanding and appreciation of themselves and their environ-ment and help them evaluate objectively new ideas and concepts. Since learning extends beyond the classroom and the campus, CCC strives to promote the intellectual activities of the community and to help enrich the culture of the area which it serves. Such a philosophy requires that Cuyahoga Community College maintain and heighten academic teaching excellence.

Purposes of the College Cuyahoga Community College exists through 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 specifically 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.

Recognizing 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 courses normally taken the first two years at a four-year institution awarding the Bachelor's degree. The student may follow this University Parallel sequence for one or two years and then transfer to a four-year institutionto continue working toward a 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-pational 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 to become effective as a person, as a member of a fam_ily, as a worker 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 interests, aptitudes and values.

Programs of Instruction

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.

Arts and Sciences Program The Arts and Sciences Program provides a wide range of course

offerings in 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 of Arts degree.

A large number of students in the Arts and Sciences Program plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities after one or two years at CCC. 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 trans-ferred to colleges and universities as the first and second years of a Bache-lor's degree program.

CCC's University Parallel curriculum includes many courses de-signed to prepare students for upper division study in such specialized field s as medi ci ne, dentistry, law, business, education, engineering and the engineering technologies.

Career Program Another major objective of Cuyahoga Community College is to de-

velop a comprehensive 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 some 45 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 ca ree r, enroll in a two-year sequence leading to an Associate of Applied Business or Associate of Applied Sci ence degree. Still others take a shorter sequence leading to a certificate.

The significance of CCC'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 onefourth of the entire United States labor force is working in tech-nical, paraprofessiona l 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 Progra m, an Advisory Committee works with the College to make the preparation as valuable and up-todate as possible. These civicminded representatives of local business, labor, industry , government , health agencies and pub lic service assist the College in the identification of needs 'and the development of new areas within the program.

Community Services Program

The College's Community Services Program offers a broad range of cultural, educational and occupational offerings to residents of the Greater Cleveland community. Community Services are "community-based" in the sense that CCC is committed to making such programs available throughout the community as well as at campus locations.

A variety of late afternoon, evening and weekend courses, both credit 'and non-credit, are available to students of all ages. The time, place and subject matter of these offerings are determined by community inter-est and need. The credit offerings, with few exceptions, do not differ from those within the regular instructional program.

Non-credit offerings, however, are designed to meet specific educa-tional requirements outside the regular instructional program. They often include one-day seminars, programs combining facets of regular College courses, and workshops. Others have focused on retraining employees for area business and industry, and refresher programs for nurses. The Col-lege also provides an extensive range of seminars for business and indus-tryon such topics as the Federal Occupational Health and Safety Stand-ards.

All three CCC campuses feature many non-credit courses each quarter. These have included such topics as bookkeeping, oriental crafts, slimnastics, photography, wines of America, pre-retirement planning, tennis, yoga, karate and many more subjects. Many evening and some day courses are offered at off-campus locations, including retirement centers, high school facilities and at area hospitals. The Community Services Pro-gram also conducts a variety of continuing education programs tailored to meet specific economic or social needs. These include:

Project EVE, offered through The Center for Community EducatLonal Services at the Metro Campus, opened in 1966 and is a vocational and educational counseling/referral service for women. EVE has served over 8,000 women with individual and group counseling and with programs designed to assist in the process of developing immediate and long-range goals in life planning related to continuing education, community service, employment and personal growth. EVE was also a primary mover behind Cleveland's 1975 International Women's Year Congress.

Project Search is a comprehensive educational counseling program which has served more than 5,000 persons since 1967. Search operates an east side and near west side center. Special counseling for veterans is also offered at these centers plus a veterans center in East Cleveland. (Project Search Veterans Program.)

Eastern's Program for the Elderly has enrolled more than 300 senior citizens each academic quarter at four retirement centers . A full range of both credit and noncredit courses are offered at area high schools during evening hours in Eastern Cuyahoga County.

Cuyahoga Community College's Community Services Program also fosters 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. For example, the Metro-politan Campus Auditorium serves as home of the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Fairmount Dance Theatre.

Individuals and organizations within Cuyahoga County are invited to contact the Community Services Office at any of the three CCC campuses to explore ways in which additional service can be provided to the com-munity.

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-cultural 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 self-concept of African-Americans, to provide a relevant education for African-Americans, and to help prepare students for ca-reers in today' s and tomorrow's world.

The department is located in the Metro Campus Library, room 310. An African-American Collection affords students the opportunity to do research and explore the African-American and " black experience". Muntu Drum, a newspaper, and Black Ascensions, a literary magazine, are under its aegis. The Department of Black Affairs also sponsors the Metro Com-munity Forum, as well as seminars and workshops , to bring illformation about minorities to a wider audience.

Black studies courses are available to all students in a variety of subject areas. Credit courses are available which deal directly with the . "black experience" - 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 sequence - courses 630-170, 630-171 and 630-172 - may be used to help fulfill the graduation requirements for an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Applied Business or Applied Science degree at Cuyahoga Community College.

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

The Ethnic Heritage Center, perhaps the first of its kind in the nation, is quartered in the Metro Campus Library, room 312_

Among the events sponsored by the Center have been recitals, con-certs, dance festivals, Bicentennial events and conferences such as Conference on World Food Crisis, Conference on World Population Prob-

lems and Youth Conference on Ethnicity which was the first and only conference of its type in the nation.

As part of the Metro Campus' non-credit offerings, classes in ethnic cultures have been offered at neighborhood libraries and Metro Campus. These have included Asian and East and South European cultures as well as beginning language classes geared primarily to social workers. Among the non-credit courses offered at Metro have been "Slovak Language and Literature", "Slavic Studies", "The Asian Character" and "Chinese (Man-darin) Language".

MUST I LIVE IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY? Cuyahoga Community College is supported by the taxpayers of Cuya-

hoga County. If you are not a county resident, you will have to pay a tuition surcharge. Your official residency will be determined during regis-tration 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. More information on residency requirements can be found in the Class Schedule booklet.

35

36

WHAT IF I CHANGE MY NAME OR ADDRESS? You should report the change to the Office of Admissions and Rec-

ords at the campus where your records are kept_

DO I NEED TO SPEAK ENGLISH? Yes_ As part of the admissions procedure, international students are

required to show proficiency in English. A special English examination may be required, however, previous work at other educational institutions will also be taken into considerat ion. For more information , contact the Office of Admissions and Records.

The CCC English Department regularly offers classes in "English as a Second Language. " This course is designed to teach the bare rudiments of English to persons whose native language is not Engl ish . It is not meant to prepare you for admission to CCC. For more information , please call the English Department.

CAN I TRANSFER TO CCC FROM ANOTHER COLLEGE?

Yes. You must, however, comply with the established admissions pro-cedures. If you were placed on academic probation or dismissed by your previous college, you will be placed on first probation when you are ad-mitted to Cuyahoga Community College. You will then remain on first probation until you have successfully completed 15 or more quarter credits or until you have been placed on second probation. See WHAT IS ACADEMIC PROBATION , P 43.

CCC will not accept transfer credit for courses in which you got less than a "C" . Transfer credits from other institutions will be entered on the College's permanent record forms, but no grades will be recorded. Only grades earned at CCC will be used in computing grade-point averages.

If you were dismissed for disciplinary reasons from your last college, you will have to be eligible to return to that institution before you can be considered for admission to Cuyahoga Community College. You may, however, petition the Director of Admissions and Records to exempt you from this policy. Your petition will be considered by the Admissions Board.

CAN I CHANGE MY SCH EDU LE AFTER CLASSES BEGIN?

Yes , you are allowed to make changes in your course schedule during the program adjustment period . You should, however, keep in mind that your choices during this period are limited. You should select your courses very carefully during the registration period so that you won't need to change your schedule. See Class Schedule booklet for dates of program adjustment.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO AUDIT A COURSE? Auditing a course means that you attend classes but are not required

to submit assignments or take examinations. An auditor, therefore, reo ceives neither a grade nor course credit. The auditing fee, however, is the same as when you are regularly enrolled for credit .

Currently enrolled CCC students are permitted to audit one or more courses. The audited courses may be added during the first week of classes, providing space is available.

Careful consideration is advisable before you request permission to audit a course: audit status is not convertible to credit status. If you are uncertain about whether to audit a course, you should discuss it with your counselor before you request audit status.

Persons not currently attending CCC may register to audit a course during the first week of classes. Acceptance depends on class space being avai lable.

Registration by mail is not available to aud itors.

CAN I EVER BE RE-ADMITTED IF I'VE BEEN DISMISSED FOR lOW ACADEMIC STANDING?

If you apply for readmission following first dismissal for academic reasons, you are subject to the following condit ions:

(1) If dismissed with a cumulative gradepoint average of 0.75 or higher, you may apply for immediate readm ission for the next academic term. 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 maxi mum will be considered by the Admissions Appeals Board .)

(2) If you were dismissed with a cumulative gradepoint average of less than 0.75 you may qualify for readmission by using one of these three methods:

i: Remain out of Cuyahoga Community College for at least one full quarter before applying for readmission .

i i: Petition the Admissions Appeals Board to be considered for immediate readmission on second probation .

iii: Elect to use the "Change of Degree Objective" plan (described below) to be readmitted in good standing.

Readmission following the second dismissal will be permitted only after you have remained out of CCC for at least one full quarter. You should then petition the Admissions Board for readmission . If the Board's action is affirmative and if you are permitted to continue without a "Change of Degree Objective", you will be placed on second probation. If you reenter with a "Change of Degree Objective", you will be admitted in good standing.

37

38

WHAT IS A CHANGE OF DEGREE OBJECTIVE? If you are not making satisfactory progress in an Associate degree

program or if you have been dismissed for academic reasons, you may petition the Admissions Appeals Board for permission to change the degree you're working toward or to pursue a Certificate Program.

The following procedure should be followed in making such a change: (1) Discuss your plans with a counselor who will help you initiate

the appropriate form. (2) Obtain the approval of the department head of the program you

wish to enter. Following Admissions Appeals Board approval, your permanent rec-

ord will indicate the change of degree objective. Failing grades for all courses taken prior to this change will not be considered in computing your CCC gradepoint average. You will, therefore, be admitted to the new program in good standing. Credits successfully earned prior to the change will , of cou rse, be applied toward the new program.

After the change of degree has been approved, you must earn a min imum 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

cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades earned in computing gradepoint averages for admission or other pur poses.

HOW MANY COURSES MUST I TAKE TO BE CONSIDERED A FULL-TIME STUDENT?

You must take at least 12 quarter credits to be considered a full-time student. Although the normal course load for full-time students is 15 quarter credits, a counselor or advisor may recommend a heavier or lighter load depending on ability and/or past performance.

If you ranked in the lowest onefourth of your high school graduating class, you may not enroll for more than 12 quarter credits during your first quarter at CCC. Once you have successfully completed 12 quarter credits, you will be allowed to take the normal fulltime schedule of 15 or more quarter credits.

If you are currently enrolled in 11 or fewer quarter credits (parttime) and wish to enroll for the next academic quarter for 12 or more quarter credits (fulltime), you must file a CHANGE OF STATUS form in the Office of Admissions and Records. You will be notified of the credentials needed to make this change.

To be considered for Change of Status, you must have a cumulative gradepoint average of 1.00 or higher at the time the request is submitted.

WHAT IS THE CREDIT IN ESCROW PROGRAM? Academic Credit in Escrow is a program for Cuyahoga County high

school seniors. It enables them to enroll in one College day course each quarter for regular CCC credit.

The College also recognizes the Advanced Placement Program. This is a nationally administered program in which college-level courses are available in high school to selected students. The College Entrance Exami-nation Board prepares tests to grade the high school students taking courses in the program . The College will grant credit for selected courses in which you have attained satisfactory test scores.

You should consult your high school counselor or the CCC Office of Admissions and Records if you want more information.

WHAT IF I'M A VETERAN? You may be eligible for educational benefits from the Veterans Ad -

ministration while attend ing Cuyahoga Community College. The VA accepts Cuyahoga Community College as an institution qualified and equipped to provide education in the arts and sciences and in the career program area, under the provisions of the War Orphans Assistance Act and the Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966.

CCC will grant three quarter hours of academic credit in Physical Education in recognition of basic physcial education training received by veterans who have served 365 consecutive days on act ive duty in the mili -tary service of the United States.

After you have been officially admitted to the College, you should submit a certified copy of Form DD-214 to the Office of Admissions and Records in order to receive Physical Education credits for your basic physical training during military service.

WHAT IF I MISS A CLASS? Regular class attendance is required. You may be dropped from a

course by the instructor whenever total absences exceed three hours in any quarter after the third through the eighth week if, in the instructor's judgment, you cannot benefit from further class instruction.

If illness or emergency should necessitate a brief absence from class; you should confer with your instructor when you return.

If you are absent for a week or more due to prolonged illness, you should consult the campus Health Services. If you are having problems with your classwork due to a prolonged absence, you should confer with your instructor or a counselor.

39

40

WHAT IF I HAVE A JOB? By careful and realistic planning, you can successfully manage both

your job and your academic studies. Each credit hour of your schedule usually requires a minimum of two

hours of outside study each week. If you are employed full time, you should probably not attempt to carry more than two courses per quarter. If you have a part-time job, you should carry a course load in proportion to your hours of employment.

WILL I HAVE FINAL EXAMS IN ALL MY CLASSES? Yes, a final examination is required in each course and is given at a

regularly scheduled time. Under emergency circumstances, students may be able to postpone an examination. If unable to appear, it is your respon-sibility to inform the instructor prior to the scheduled examination.

If you receive official permission to postpone an examination, you will be assigned an "I" (incomplete) as the grade for that course. You must personally request an incomplete grade from your instructor. It is not granted automatically. Incomplete grades can be removed by complet-ing the examination no later than the fifth week of the following academic quarter. Failure to do so will result in an "F" (failure) grade.

COURSE CREDIT SOLELY BY EXAMINATION? Yes. If you feel competent in a particular subject, you 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. You are not permitted to earn more than 18 units of credit by examination.

Credit by examination requires the approval of the appropriate aca-demic department. A standard symbol indicating "credit by examination" will be posted on your permanent record , but letter grades and quality points will not be used .

WHAT ABOUT GRADES? Final grades are issued at the end of each quarter. Letter grades earn

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 Your 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 auality points. Your grade-point average would be 3.20 - 48 divided by 15. * NOTE: Courses in which you earn grades of "W" or "S" are not con-

sidered part of the total credit units attempted.

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

students who achieve outstanding academic success. You will be included in t he Dean's List if you have earned a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher in attempting 12 or more credit hours during the preceding quarter.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF I'M PASSING MY COURSES? If you are earning less than a "C" at mid -quarter, you will p.wbably

get an academic warning from your instructor. If you receive such a notice, you should seek help from your instructor or counselor.

It is , however, your responsibility to monitor your academic standing and progress, and seek help if you need it.

41

42

CAN I REPEAT A COURSE? Yes , you may repeat a course in which a grade of "0" or "F" has

been earned. The most recently earned grade in that course will be used in computing your grade-point average.

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

HOW DO I WITHDRAW FROM A CLASS? You may withdraw from a class at any time prior to the last two

weeks of instruction or end of the eighth week of the quarter by complet-ing the necessary forms in the Office of Admissions and Records.

Both full-time and parttime students should confer with the course instructor and, if necessary, a counselor as part of the withdrawal proce-dure.

If you withdraw from a course during the first three weeks of a quar-ter, your permanent record will carry no notation.

If you withdraw from a course after the third week but before the ninth week of a quarter, your permanent record will carry a "W".

An instructor may withdraw you from a course fbr excessive ab-sences. This may be done after the third week through the end of the eighth week, but before the last two weeks of a quarter. If you are with drawn in this manner, your permanent record will carry a "W".

WHO HAS ACCESS TO MY STUDENT RECORDS? Cuyahoga Community College, in the execution of its responsibilities

to students, must maintain accurate and confidential student records. The College recognizes the rights of students to have access to their educa-tional records and to limit such access by others in accordance with exist-ing College guidelines and The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. passed by the U.S. Congress in 1974. Student records, with certain exceptions, will not be released without prior consent of the student. Stu-dents have the right to revi.ew and question the content of their ed\.Jca-tional records within a reasonable time after making a request for such a review.

Students wishing to review their educa tional records may apply to the Office of Admissions and Records on their respective campuses for details regarding College policy and procedure designed to expedite their request.

WHAT IS ACADEMIC PROBATION? You will be placed on probation under anyone of the following

circumstances: (1) If, after attempting 15 or more quarter credits at Cuyahoga

Community College, you have failed to compile a cumulative grade-point average to meet the following minimum require-ments (based on a four-point system):

WHAT DOES ACADEMIC DISMISSAL MEAN? If you are on second probation , you will be dismissed at the end of

that period of enrollment unless you remove yourself from probation, or unless your grade-point average for the most recent period of enrollment is 2.00 or higher, in which case you will be permitted to continue on second probation.

You will also be dismissed if you have attempted 15 or more quarter credits at Cuyahoga Community College and have compiled lower than a .75 cumulative grade-point average at the end of any period of enrollment.

HOW WILL I KNOW MY CLASS STANDING? A freshman or first-year student at CCC 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, including those transferred from other colleges or universities, are considered sopho mores or second-year students.

WHAT IF I WANT TO TRANSFER TO ANOTHER INSTITUTION?

Counselors and other members of the College staff will advise and assist any student planning to transfer to a four-year institution. They will help you in preparing for and completing the transfer process.

It remains your responsibility, however, to select the transfer institu-tion and to closely follow its admissions requirements. These requirements are set forth in the institution 's catalogue. Reference copies of these catalogues are available in the campus library and in the Offices of Admissions and Records.

Because of the highly specialized nature of curriculums in the Career Program, many of the courses are not designed for transfer to a four-year institution. Students also should note that courses with numbers lower than 100 (the last three digits) are not ordinarily transferable. See COURSE NUMBERING, p. 55.

HOW DO I GET TRANSCRIPTS OF MY GRADES? You may request official transcripts of grades earned at CCC through

the Office of Admissions and Records. Requests must bear the student's signature.

You are entitled to one free transcript. Additional copies may be obtained for a fee of $1 each.

WHAT ABOUT TRANSIENT STATUS AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS?

If you wish to take a course for credit at another institution while you are attending CCC, you can avoid having to go through the admissions procedure at the other institution by requesting transient status.

You should perform these three steps: 1. Request a TRANSIENT STUDENT FORM from the Office of Ad-

missions and Records or the Counseling office. 2. Complete the form and return it to the Office of Admissions and

Records. 3. The Office of Admissions and Records will confirm your status

so that the credit earned at the other institution can be properly credited to your CCC permanent record. This information will also be sent to the institution where you are seeki ng transient status.

The counselor offers assist-ance in ciloosing an appropriate program of studies from the variety of courses offered. Thereafter, each student is encouraged to seek counseling assistance in reviewing progress and plans.

Counselors assist students who wish to clarify their educational and occupational objectives. Occupational information files and college cata-logues are located in the campus libraries. When appropriate, counselors may suggest a variety of tests and inventories as aids in educational and occupational planning.
