Who chooses BCC?


At BCC, I got a rocksolid foundation that gave me incredible life independence. I knew that no matter where I was, I could support myself. That gives you the ability to try new things.
Kathleen Torpey Garganta 73 Director - Attleboro Center

Its easier to answer who doesnt. Actually, theres no typical student because you will nd so many different types of people. We have traditional-aged students, senior citizen students, students representing various ethnic groups, students who are parents, working students looking to improve job skills people who have many different priorities and come from diverse life situations. They come from every town and community in our service area, from Attleboro to Wareham, as well as from nearby Rhode Island and several foreign countries. In Fall 2007, more than 6,900 students are expected to enroll in credit classes days, evenings, and weekends. We know that our students manage college, family, work, and studies. So choosing BCC means choosing support that makes college manageable. You can take classes days, evenings, weekends, and even all summer. Our student support services, including nancial aid, tutoring, and academic advisement, are available into the evening. You t college into your life we dont t you into ours. If you have dreamed about college but think it cant be done, look into BCC. It will be hard work possibly the greatest challenge youve ever had.

But our students prove that it can be done and that its worth it.

Additional information

Sequencing: Students should plan to complete all Studio Foundation program courses before taking any of the Advanced Studio program courses. This course sequencing is important. Since all studio art courses build upon one another, the knowledge and technical skills gained through the Studio Foundation program courses will greatly improve a students chances of success in the Advanced Studio program courses. Scheduling restrictions: It is important for all art students to take ART 09 Visual Arts Colloquium in the fall semester of their rst year (and ART 10 if possible), as well as ART 40 Careers in the Visual Arts and ART 44 Drawing III in the fall semester of their last year. Timely completion: Due to the heavy studio course load in the Art/Fine Arts, Graphic Design, and Web Design program options, as well as sequencing requirements and scheduling limitations, students should carefully follow the Recommended Course Sequence. Plan to take approximately three studio program courses every semester (9-11 credits) for full-time study, or approximately two studio art courses per semester for part-time study (6-8 credits) in addition to the general and elective course requirements. Consider taking General Education courses in the summer to help with the course load.

Deaf Studies
Deaf studies explores the language, culture, history and contemporary issues of Deaf people. Fundamental to our program are both competency in American Sign Language and a desire to work with Deaf people and not for them. This program prepares students, both deaf and hearing, who are interested in a professional career working with Deaf, hard-of-hearing or late-deafened persons to transfer to a four-year college or university in the eld of their choice.

PROGRAM INFORMATION Deaf Studies provides a foundation for interpreters, but not an interpreter training program (ITP). Students wanting to become professional interpreters will transfer on to an ITP and must pass a theoretical and practical exam to become qualied interpreters. Students who have taken non-credit sign language classes in the past, or who have signing Deaf family members, should meet with the program director to discuss Prior Experiential Learning (PEL) opportunities. Students will spend an additional hour per week engaged in language lab activities with every ASL class taken. Students are expected to attend various Deaf events and get involved in the ASL/Deaf Studies Club throughout their studies to apply their language skills and develop them further in real-world, practical situations.

Choosing Bristol Community College


Here are some concerns you might have and some solutions:
Why go to a community college when I can go right to a four-year college? The better question is why pay their high costs for your rst two years? Check the chapter on Transferring to see how much you can save on your college costs by starting at BCC. Plus, with the statewide Joint Admissions program, you can be sure you can transfer into a comparable program at a Massachusetts state college or the University of Massachusetts. You can also qualify for a tuition discount with Tuition Advantage. See Transferring for more. I dont know what I want to study. Thats no reason to put off starting college! Begin in General Studies or a Liberal Arts and Sciences program. You can earn general education requirements that can transfer into any degree program, and perhaps discover a new career direction. I cant afford to go to college. BCC is an affordable solution to the high cost of a college education. Our low cost per credit makes us the regions best educational value. We offer nancial aid for eligible students, and because you live nearby, you can commute and save a lot of money. Most of our students nd it very convenient to schedule full- or part-time work around their college classes. And, since a college degree makes you so much more marketable and prepares you for better jobs, can you afford not to go? I was never a good student. The passage of time can make an amazing difference. We offer courses that can improve basic academic skills, and a full-service Tutoring and Academic Support Center for individual tutoring. You will also nd our faculty is particularly interested in helping you succeed.

Transferring

The Community College Advantage in action

By enrolling in a transfer program, you can earn the rst two years of your four-year degree at BCC and take advantage of the affordable tuition and fees while getting a great education. Some career programs can transfer as well. Our Transfer ofce, ext. 2227, helps you get credit where credit is due, so you can transfer the maximum number of your BCC credits into the college of your choice. Students planning to transfer, and those unsure of their plans, should contact the Transfer ofce as early in their BCC career as possible. Transfer counselors will help you plan a program of study for transfer. Most senior institutions expect a 2.5 grade point average for transfer students. Students with less than 2.5 may transfer, but they may have difculty getting into the college of their choice. Most colleges do not accept D grades except in the Transfer Compact as outlined below.

WHERE DO BRISTOL STUDENTS TRANSFER?

Bristol Community College students nd that their time at BCC makes them very desirable transfer students at four-year colleges. Often, senior institutions design special scholarship and nancial aid programs especially for community college transfer students. More and more students are nding that starting at BCC makes great sense. Special scholarships for BCC graduates Scholarships are available for BCC graduates who transfer to some four-year colleges and universities. To qualify, students must graduate from BCC, apply, and be accepted to the four-year institution. Most scholarships require at least a G.P.A. of 3.0. These colleges, universities and organizations offer transfer scholarships: Information is available in the Transfer office.

Some of these agreements guarantee admission and ensure full junior standing to the BCC degree holders who achieve a certain G.P.A. and meet specic requirements. Most of these agreements indicate course equivalents and prerequisites so that students know well in advance the courses that will transfer to the four-year college. Some agreements cover specic programs, others are more generic. However, even if you choose to transfer to a college not listed, BCC credits are likely accepted at the college of your choice. Contact the Transfer Affairs ofce for more information.

General education requirements Entering a degree or certicate program at Bristol Community College means that you are committed both to expanding your general education and pursuing a career. At BCC, General Education is a core of courses that helps students strengthen their skills in reading, writing and mathematics, while increasing their awareness and appreciation of historical thinking, important social issues, and the role of languages, literature, science and the arts in our society.
The core courses for degree programs include:

Prior to the 1999-00, academic year differential point values (as shown above) were not assigned to plus (+) or minus (-) grades. Point values assigned to grades prior to Fall 1999 were: Grade A+, A, ASuperior 4.0 B+, B, BAbove Average 3.0 C+, C, CAverage 2.0 D+, D, DBelow Average 1.0 F Failure 0.0 N Course Continuing -The grade L (given for auditing a course) and S and U (given by the Center for Developmental Education) carry no points and are not gured into the grade point average. Refer to the section on the following page, Center for Developmental Education grading policy, for more details on the S and U. Refer to Dropping a course for the W grade, and to Auditing a course for the L grade under Planning and Managing Course Load. Mid-semester progress reports Faculty report mid-semester grades for students in day courses doing D, F, or U work at that time. Those students are notied by mail and are advised to see a counselor. Incomplete course work The mark of Incomplete (I) is given to a student if work in a class is unnished because of illness, accident, or other unavoidable absence. To receive credit for the course, the student must complete and turn in the missing work by the last day of the semester that follows the semester in which the I was earned, regardless of whether the student is then enrolled at BCC. The student must arrange with the instructor or divisional assistant dean in the instructors absence to make up the deciency. The arrangements must be made during the rst three weeks of the semester following receipt of the Incomplete. Grade Point Average Letter grades are assigned the point values discussed in the section above, Grades. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated as follows: The grade points earned for each course are calculated by multiplying the point value of the grade (from the table at left) by the

The grades shown below are assigned point values for the purpose of calculating the Grade Point Average (GPA) and the Satisfactory Progress Index (SPI). The section on Grade Point Average explains how to use SPI.

Academic Information number of credits for the course. For example, a B+ (point value = 3.3) earned in a 4-credit course in Fall 99 or later earns 13.2 grade points (3.3 points x 4 credits). The semesters Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by adding the grade points earned in all courses that semester, and then dividing by the total credits involved in those courses. See example below. The cumulative GPA is found by adding grade points so far earned in courses taken for the students program and dividing by the total credits. Courses with grades of I, L, S, U, and W are not considered. Satisfactory Progress Index The Satisfactory Progress Index (SPI) is a measure of a students academic progress toward a degree. The SPI is calculated in the same manner as the Grade Point Average, except that courses with grades of I, U and W are included. No grade points are earned for these courses, but they are counted in total credits attempted. The semesters SPI, therefore, is calculated by adding the grade points earned in all courses that semester and then dividing by the total credits attempted in those courses, including courses for which the student received grades of I, U, and W. The cumulative SPI is calculated based on courses taken since the Fall 1994 semester. Calculating your GPA and SPI: A student who receives these grades in 3 courses would calculate GPA and SPI as follows: Credits Grade Point Value Grade Points 1st Course 4 B 3 12 2nd Course 3 C 2 6 3rd Course 3 W 0 0 To calculate the GPA for the example given, add grade points earned (12 + 6) and divide by credits for the courses in which they were earned (4 +3). GPA = grade points earned in all courses = 18 = 2.57 GPA total credits in those courses 7 To calculate the SPI for the example given, add grade points earned as above (12 + 6) but divide by credits for all classes taken (4 + 3 + 3). SPI = grade points earned in all courses = 18 = 1.80 SPI total credits in those courses 10 Note: Grades such as W, I, and U carry no point value but will cause the SPI to be lower than the GPA. Deans List The Deans List recognizes students who achieve a semester GPA (grade point average) of 3.2 or better with a load of 12 credits or more and no grade below C. Minimum satisfactory completion rate for nancial aid: Students receiving Federal nancial assistance (Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, College Work Study, Perkins Loan, Federal Family Education Loan Program, and other nancial aid programs offered by the College) must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their degree or certicate program. Refer to nancial aid regulations in the Student Handbook for more information. Special grade requirements Students in Occupational Therapy Assistant, Nursing, Medical Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Early Childhood Education, Phlebotomy, Healthcare Information, Clinical Laboratory Science, Complementary Healthcare, Therapeutic Massage, Histology, and Ofce Administration career programs must meet the special grade requirements of their programs as described in the respective program description. Students failing to meet these requirements in subject area courses are reviewed at the end of the semester by the program director and faculty teaching the courses. The program director will make recommendations to those students regarding their future course of study and give those recommendations to the Dean of Academic Affairs, the chair of the Academic Standing Committee and the Dean of Enrollment Services. Center for Developmental Education grading policy To successfully complete a course in the individualized learning lab (self-paced mode), students must earn a grade of C- or better for the three-credit course. These grades are equivalent to the values discussed in the Grades section. Those who do not complete the learning lab in one semester and who maintain satisfactory progress receive an S grade for the non-degree credit developmental course. The S grade does not apply toward a degree, and the student must re-enroll in the developmental course. Students who do not complete a learning lab course in one academic year (two semesters) receive a U for the course and do not receive credit. For more information on the Center for Developmental Education, refer to that section in the Quest for Success program listing.

ACADEMIC STANDING
Satisfactory academic progress All matriculated students attending the College are expected to make satisfactory academic progress toward a degree. Students who do not maintain an acceptable cumulative Satisfactory Progress Index (SPI), as specied in the table below, will either be placed on academic probation or be academically dismissed. Students who do not maintain satisfactory progress cannot hold elected or appointed positions in any college activity. Academic Probation The academic probation policy is designed to help identify students in academic difculty as early as possible. Then, if needed, the College can provide the appropriate services to help students make satisfactory progress toward their degrees. Students on academic probation may take no more than thirteen (13) credits per semester, and may be required to repeat courses in which they have received grades of D and F. Dismissal Students whose SPIs fall below the probation level, or whose GPAs fall below the levels shown in the table below, will be subject to dismissal from the College and withdrawn from any courses for which they preregistered. Dismissals are made at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters. Total No. of Credit Hours Attempted* 15 or less 16-30 31-45 46 and above Satisfactory Progress SPI at or above 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.0 Academic Probation SPI From -To 0.0-1.19 1.0-1.49 1.2-1.79 1.2-1.99 Dismissal** SPI GPA below below 1.0 1.40 1.2 1.70 1.2 1.80

Please note the following: 1. Students are ineligible to receive nancial aid if their Satisfactory Progress Index falls below the dismissal level or if the minimum satisfactory completion rate is below the level mandated by federal guidelines. The Student Handbook explains the Financial Aid policy. 2. Full-time students will have a maximum of four years to complete their degree requirements. The time frame for part-time students will be prorated. 3. Students will be required to attain a minimum GPA of 2.0 for graduation. Appeals process Dismissed students may appeal to the Dean of Academic Affairs within one (1) week of the date of their dismissal letter for a hearing to request reinstatement. Students who appeal must come before the Academic Standing Committee with a written statement explaining the reasons why they should be reinstated. Appeals are heard in January and June. The Committee will review each students entire academic record and any documented special circumstances the student provides. The Committee will make its recommendations to the Dean of Academic Affairs. If the Dean does not receive a request for a hearing within one week of the date of the letter of dismissal, s/he will conclude that the student has accepted dismissal. Reinstatement Students who, based on their appeals, are reinstated, will be placed on probation and their classes will be restricted by the conditions imposed by the Committee and the Dean of Academic Affairs. They will be monitored by the Connections Center, will register for classes based on the recommendations of the Academic Standing Committee, and will continue to receive developmental advising. Students reinstated on academic probation may be required to take developmental courses, to repeat courses with grades of C-, D, F, U, I and W, and/or to restrict the number of credits they take. Dismissed non-degree students Students who do not attend an appeal hearing or whose appeal is denied by the Academic Standing Committee may take classes only as non-degree students. Non-degree students are not eligible for Financial Aid. These students may be readmitted to a degree program after attaining a GPA and SPI above the dismissal level indicated in the accompanying table, by applying for re-admission to a College program after two semesters from the date of dismissal, or by appealing to the Academic Standing Committee through the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Academic Information Withdrawal Policy Students withdrawing from any course must complete a course withdrawal form and forward it to the Enrollment Center. Students may also obtain forms in Advisement and Counseling Services. Students who plan to withdraw from all courses should arrange for an exit interview with a counselor. Those who want to withdraw from Clinical Laboratory Science, Complementary Health Care, Culinary Arts, Dental Hygiene, General Studies Prep/QUEST, Healthcare Information, Histology, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Phlebotomy, Pre-Radiology Technology or Therapeutic Massage should talk with the programs director. Failure to follow the withdrawal policy may result in students receiving failing grades, being placed on academic probation, or academic dismissal. Students who must withdraw for personal, medical, or nancial reasons should meet with a counselor to complete the withdrawal process. Continuous Enrollment Policy Except for competitive admissions programs, matriculated and registered students in good standing will be allowed to retain their program of study throughout three consecutive semesters (including Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters) with no registration activity. After the third non-registration semester, students will be dropped from their program of study and will be required to reapply through the Admissions Ofce to regain active matriculation in an academic degree or certicate program. Students in competitive admissions programs (Complementary Healthcare, Dental Hygiene, Clinical Laboratory Science, Culinary Arts, Healthcare Information, Histology, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Phlebotomy, Pre-Radiology Technology and Therapeutic Massage) must reapply after a break in Fall or Spring semester attendance. Readmission to these programs will be subject to space availability and the specic readmission policies of individual programs. International students are cautioned that INS policies regarding nonenrollment supercede College policies. For information about this policy, contact the Registrar. Readmittance to the College A student who has withdrawn and desires to reenter the College must reapply to the Admissions Ofce. Readmittance to a program is not guaranteed. Fresh Start Program Students returning to the College after an absence of at least three years may request to participate in the Fresh Start Program. If the requirements for participation are met, grades for courses taken before the three-year absence are still listed on the transcript but are excluded from the calculation of the students cumulative grade point average (GPA) and satisfactory progress index (SPI). To be eligible, students must: 1. Be accepted into a degree or certicate program in the Fall 2001 semester or later. 2. Have been absent with no recorded grades at Bristol for a minimum of three years. 3. Successfully complete 12 credits of course work with a GPA of 2.0 or better. Students must apply for the Fresh Start Program in the rst month of the Fall or Spring semester following completion of the 12th credit. Courses taken before the three-year absence will count toward the degree or certicate if applicable in the students program and if the grade earned was C- or better. These credits are subject to the 30-credit maximum for transfer credits. Courses taken before the three-year absence for which a student received a grade lower than C- will not count toward the degree or certicate. More information about this program and applications are available through the Academic Deans Ofce, Admissions Ofce, Advisement Ofce, Records Ofce, the Enrollment Center, at the New Bedford Campus, and Attleboro Center.

Academic Information Students who attend a eld trip should make arrangements with their other course instructors to make up any assignments missed on that day. Those who cannot attend classes, take an exam, study, or fulll class assignments on a particular day because of their religious beliefs will be given an opportunity to make up their work at the convenience of the instructor. Students cannot be penalized for taking advantage of this right. Course load A full-time course load is 12 credit hours or more a semester. Students on academic probation can register for no more than 13 credits. A load of ve courses (15 to 17 credit hours) is considered to be the normal load, although in some programs more credits may be required in some semesters to complete the program within two years. Honor students (3.2 or higher average) may register for six courses (18-20 credit hours). Requests for exceptions may be made in writing to the Academic Standing Committee. Plan for at least two to three hours of study for each class hour. A student carrying 15 credits, for example, should schedule 30 to 45 hours for study each week. Final examinations Final examination, including projects and other evaluation activities, are given during the week following the end of classes each semester. Final examinations can be made up only for compelling reasons, such as accidents or sickness, and with the permission of the instructor. A physicians certicate may be required if the reason is medical. A student who misses a nal examination is responsible for contacting the instructor and arranging to take the exam during the scheduled make-up and conict period or at another time. If the instructor is not available the student should contact the appropriate divisional assistant dean. Registering for courses Students may register for classes at any time during the registration period. All students are to be registered in courses by the end of the rst week of classes. No course changes will be permitted after that time, except with written approval of the faculty member concerned. Course change forms may be obtained in the Advisement Center or the Enrollment Center. Dropping a course Students who need to adjust their schedules due to a change in program or other reason may do so during the registration period and through the rst week of classes. After the rst week of classes student cannot add a class without instructor authorization. Students may drop any course through the second week of classes without penalty. After the second week of classes any student who drops a class will receive a grade of W (see Withdrawal Policy). To receive a W, students must consult a counselor and the instructor by or before the tenth week of classes. The counselor and instructor sign a withdrawal form signifying that the consultations have occurred. Withdrawal forms also are available in the Advisement/Counseling Center. A grade of either W or F may be assigned at the discretion of the instructor to any student who withdraws from a course or from the College after the tenth week of classes. Forms must be forwarded to the Enrollment Center. Auditing a course A student may audit a single course for no credit with the consent of the instructor. A student may register for audit one week prior to the start of class through the Drop/Add period. No grade is given, but the notation of L is made on the permanent record. A student may repeat a course for credit the next semester after auditing a course. Repeating a course Students receiving a C- or D or F for a course may repeat the course once. The grade received on the second attempt becomes ofcial. Courses in which the student receives a C or higher cannot be repeated for credit. Students who wish to repeat clinical courses must apply for readmission to the program.

PLANNING AN ACADEMIC PROGRAM


Length of program Full-time students with appropriate high school credits can complete the requirements for an associates degree in two years. However, some students may need to make up deciencies in certain areas. Others change their concentration or major or withdraw from one or more courses. Students who work may take fewer courses per semester. Any of these reasons may make it necessary for a student to spend more than four semesters at BCC. Courses may be taken in the summer for students who wish to shorten their time at BCC.

Changes of program Students may change their program or areas of concentration only with the approval of their advisor or a counselor. If a student is enrolled in a career program, then the appropriate divisional assistant dean must also approve the change. Change of program forms are available in the Enrollment Center and the Advisement and Counseling Center. Upon acceptance into a new program, students submit a copy of their transcript to the receiving chairperson to determine which courses apply. Grades already received in courses not applicable to the new program are omitted in computing the students GPA but remain on the permanent record. However, all grades already received in courses required in the new program are included in the GPA. Transfer into certain programs, such as Culinary Arts, Clinical Laboratory Science, Complementary Healthcare, Dental Hygiene, Medical Assisting, Healthcare Information, Histology, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Phlebotomy, Pre-Radiology Technology, and Therapeutic Massage may be limited by space available as well as by the competitive nature of these programs. Please refer to the description of the program of interest for additional information on admission requirements and the academic background of competitive applicants. Students currently enrolled in a BCC degree or certicate program must ll out an internal transfer request and submit it to the Admission Ofce by January 15 for priority admissions consideration. All programs will be lled on space-available basis. Transferring from a certicate program Students who complete a certicate program and who wish to enroll in a degree program must complete an application at the Admissions Ofce.

ation requirements in the selected curriculum. Exceptions may be granted by petition. For certicate programs, half the required credits must be earned at BCC. To receive credit for courses taken at any other institution while enrolled at BCC, students must obtain approval in advance. Forms are available in the Enrollment Center. Completed forms should be accompanied by the catalog from the other institution. The student must arrange to have transcripts of approved courses sent to the Registrars Ofce within six weeks of completing the course(s). Earning a second degree from BCC To qualify for a second associates degree, a student must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours beyond the rst degree and meet all specic degree requirements of the second program. Center for Developmental Education Refer to the program description of the Center for Developmental Education, starting on page 49 for the General Studies Prep and TRiO/QUEST for Success programs. Service-Learning The Service-Learning program at BCC offers students a unique opportunity to combine classroom theory in any discipline with community practice in a non-prot agency and, at the same time, to develop a sense of social responsibility. While some community colleges require a minimum of 20 hours per service-learning experience over a semester, BCC requires a minimum of 10 hours. Along with performing the service itself, students complete one or more reective exercises chosen by their instructor to enhance understanding of course content, appreciation of the discipline, and sense of civic engagement. Some BCC faculty incorporate service-learning into their syllabi as a requirement; others offer it as an option. If a student has a particular service-learning experience in mind but cannot nd a course for it, s/he may be able to do it via Contract Learning (see Contract Learning on the next page). Many four-year colleges and universities require or strongly encourage service-learning, and prospective employers also look favorably on service-learning and other experiential learning activities. Students who successfully complete service-learning will receive recognition of the activity on their academic transcripts by the notation Service-Learning Component Course following the course title and grade.

Academic Information Honors Program The Honors Program at BCC offers intellectually challenging experiences to highly motivated and gifted students in every discipline. It allows students to customize their experience in the Honors Program to their own individual needs and desires. The honors student works one-on-one with dedicated faculty members crafting intellectually stimulating experiences appropriate for the individual student. This independent work and the experience of one-on-one work with a faculty member will better prepare the honors student to continue his or her education at a four-year institution. The Honors Program also engages students in activities that will encourage them to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners. Graduation requirements for Honors Scholars To graduate with an associates degree as an Honors Scholar, a student must meet all the following criteria: a. Meet all requirements for an associate degree in major/program. b. Earn a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA while at BCC. c. Earn a minimum of 30 credits completed at BCC. d. Participate in a minimum of 3 honors experiences (9 honors credits), with a grade of at least B. These honors experiences could either be honors courses or honors component courses. At least 2 of these honors experiences (6 honors credits) must be taken at BCC. In the honors credits, a student must take: At least one interdisciplinary honors course (3 credits), for honors-level students only. A minimum of one writing intensive honors experience (3 credits). A minimum of one math, science, engineering, technologybased honors experience, or an honors experience appropriate for the students major eld of study and academic area of interest. (3 credits) One honors experience could satisfy more than one of the above requirements. Lists of appropriate honors experiences to satisfy the above requirements are developed by the Honors Committee in consultation with individual departments. e. Complete an honors project (or possibly a thesis), directed by a faculty member, involving independent research. This onecredit culminating experience could grow from one of the three honors experiences, but it does not have to follow that path. Students may be required to present their projects as part of an honors day seminar.

EARNING CREDIT OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM


Cooperative Education Cooperative Education combines classroom learning and work-based learning related to the students eld of study. Students enroll in classes, work at their Co-op jobs at least 15 hours per week, and earn 3 credits for their work. Students may also participate in Co-op in the summer. To enroll in Co-op, students must be at the sophomore level and participate in a weekly Co-op seminar. The Cooperative Education ofce will help students nd appropriate positions. Those currently working in a job related to their program of study may apply to convert that job to a Co-op work experience. Each Co-op student and his/her faculty advisor and employer will develop a learning agreement with specic objectives to assess the students performance on Co-op. This agreement will relate classroom theory and personal career goals to the Co-op experience. Contract Learning For students who want to investigate personal academic interests or pursue more experimental methods of learning, the College offers a exible credit format where students can create part of their own study program. Advisors work with the student to determine plans, identify appropriate resource people, and write a learning contract. The contract includes the students goals, how and when s/he intends to accomplish them, and how that work will be evaluated. The credits earned are determined by the work proposed and may not total more than one-eighth of total credit hours required for graduation. Students register for CTL 99 with the Enrollment Center. Tuition is based on the number of credits determined through the learning contract. Proposals must be signed by the student, the advisor, the appropriate divisional assistant dean, and the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs. Credit will be awarded only if approval is granted before the student starts the project. Directed study A directed study is an independent study course, under the sponsorship of a faculty member, that meets the objectives of a regular course offering. Directed study permits a matriculated student to enroll in a required course needed to graduate provided neither the regular course nor its equivalent is available. A directed study course requires the approval of the instructor, the appropriate divisional assistant dean, and the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs. Credit for a directed study course is equivalent to credit for a regular course offering. Approval forms are available in the Enrollment Center. Students with approved directed study forms must register through the Enrollment Center. Tuition based on the number of credits approved will be charged at that time.

For more information on the Prior Experiential Learning (PEL) process, contact the PEL administrator at ext. 3043 or the department chair, program coordinator, or divisional assistant dean for the discipline in which you seek PEL credit. Each of these individuals, or a faculty or professional staff member, may serve as a PEL advisor. There are three PEL Options: Credit by Examination, Credit by Credential, and Credit by Experience. Credit by Examination College Level Examination Program and Advanced Placement Program The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Advanced Placement (AP) Program offer students an opportunity to receive college credit for subject matter learned through means other than formal college work. The CLEP Subject Matter, CLEP General, and AP Examinations are applicable for credit. Students may obtain information regarding CLEP and AP examinations through the Dean of Academic Affairs. Bridgewater State College is a CLEP examination center. Credit by department/program examination A student may receive credit for some BCC courses by passing a comprehensive examination prepared by the department or program in which the course is being offered. Any student who has been formally accepted into a degree program at Bristol Community College and has completed the course prerequisites or received permission from the program director/department chairperson may take the examinations. Students must request these exams if they want to take them. Credit granted for comprehensive examinations will not have a letter grade assigned. The credit earned cannot by used to raise grades or remove failures in courses already taken. Students must meet department criteria in the taking of these exams. They are responsible to discuss these criteria with the department chair or program director. Arrangements and registration for credit by examination must be made through the appropriate PEL advisor, department chair, program coordinator or divisional assistant dean. Additional information concerning the complete credit-by-examination policy and fees can be obtained by contacting the Enrollment Services ofce or the PEL Administrator at ext. 3043.

Credit by Evaluation Students may earn equivalent course credit for prior experiences, including instruction sponsored by the military, business and industry, public and private agencies, associations and educational institutions, and licensure preparation by regulatory agencies and associations. National Guides Credit for non-collegiate courses and educational experiences in the armed services may be awarded according to the recommendations in the National Guide to Credit Recommendations for Non-collegiate Courses, the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, the Directory of the National Program of Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI), and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs of the American Council on Education. A student who submits ofcial documentation attesting to the completion of a course(s) listed in one of these publications will be awarded appropriate elective credit by the Director of Admissions or the Registrar. If the credit award involves course equivalent credit, approval of the appropriate divisional assistant dean and department chairperson is required. Credit by Credential Programs Approved by BCC Students may earn course credit for programs listed in the PEL Manual, available in the Enrollment Center, all division ofces, and in the main ofce at the New Bedford campus and the Attleboro Center. Equivalent course credit(s) may be granted for Credit by Credential programs in elds such as computer technology and programming, manufacturing methods and processes, electronics, public speaking, income tax preparation, health care, management, re ghting, and environmental technology. Contact the Prior Experiential Learning Administrator for information. The Police Career Incentive Pay Program (PCIPP), an Amendment to section 18L of chapter 41 of the Massachusetts General Laws, delegated to the Board of Higher Education (BHE) the authority to establish guidelines for programs pursued for police career incentive pay increases.

Academic Information Credit by Experience In order to obtain an award of Credit by Experience, students present a written portfolio documenting college-level competencies acquired through educational, vocational, or personal experiences. The Prior Experiential Learning Coordinator initially evaluates the portfolio to determine comparability to required or elective courses in the students program of study. All credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis and must be approved by the department chair/program director in consultation with the assistant dean of the appropriate division and the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs. Contact the Prior Experiential Learning Administrator or the appropriate department chair, program coordinator, or divisional assistant dean for information. Classroom Conduct Disruptive or distracting classroom behavior is a violation of the colleges student Code of Conduct. A faculty member has the right to remove a disruptive student from class, pending a review of the situation by the Dean of Enrollment Services. Any faculty member may, at any time, refer a student to the Dean of Enrollment Services if the student is in violation of the Code of Conduct. The Dean of Enrollment Services may impose disciplinary sanctions against the offending student consistent with the rules and regulations of the Code of Conduct. Please refer to the Code of Conduct section in the Student Handbook for additional information. Disciplinary action The College may take disciplinary action ranging from a warning to suspension or expulsion from the College if a student is determined to have violated College rules and regulations.

STUDENT ACADEMIC RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES


All BCC students are expected to conduct themselves as mature college students seriously interested in obtaining the best possible education. This includes observing the Colleges academic rules and regulations, respecting the rights of others, and practicing academic integrity. In return, the College seeks to provide an environment where the freedom to learn and interact can be nurtured and encouraged. To do that, the College respects and defends the rights of free speech and assembly and will protect such rights for all its members. Appealing academic regulations Matriculated students (those enrolled in a degree or certicate program) have the right to petition for exceptions to the academic regulations of the College. This right, however, does not mean automatic approval of the exception. When appropriate, faculty members may petition on behalf of the student. To appeal a regulation, a petition with appropriate documentation, including a students transcript, signed by the students advisor, the appropriate department chairperson, and the program director, should be submitted to the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs. Replies can be expected within approximately 45 days. Petitions should be submitted by April 1 to guarantee action by the end of the academic year. Petition forms may be obtained from the Advisement/Counseling Center. Academic negligence Academic negligence is demonstrated by failure to do assigned work, by excessive absences, or by academic dishonesty. Any faculty member may, at any time, recommend in writing to the Dean of Academic Affairs that a student guilty of academic negligence be dropped from a course with a grade of W or F.

College accreditation Bristol Community College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose afliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering postgraduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the status of an institutions accreditation by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the school or college.

Distance learning courses offer students opportunities to learn in new ways and make learning available to many who cannot attend a traditional class. In general, the successful distance learning student is self-motivated and self-disciplined, is able to communicate effectively through writing, and understands that distance learning courses are just as academically rigorous as traditional courses. Distance learning students understand that high quality learning can take place without going to a traditional classroom. If you are not certain whether distance learning is right for you, visit our Web site at http://dl.mass.edu and take our self-assessment. Web courses allow students to take courses by computer at home, work, or in our computer labs. Most web courses do not physically meet on campus at any time during the semester. Instruction and interaction occur through the online course environment and may include communication via email, chat, discussion board posts or blogging. Hybrid (or Blended) courses are a combination of online and face-to-face instruction. Students have regular face-to-face interaction with an instructor and their classmates throughout the semester. They also interact virtually in the online classroom through the use of email, discussion board postings, assignments and online quizzes and tests. Interactive Television courses allow students to take courses near home or work through state-of-the-art video technology. Each course is offered in multiple locations and students can attend class at the location that is most convenient for them. Each site is linked by special interactive technology that allows both groups to participate in real-time classroom activity.

Distance Learning

Student Option Enrollment courses allow students to create a learning environment that is best for them. Students take courses in one of three ways. Option 1: Students complete the course as a traditional lecture course where attendance at each class meeting is required. Option 2: Students can complete the course completely online. Option 3: Students can create a hybrid course by combining traditional lecture sessions with web based instruction. Mass Colleges Online (MCO) courses are offered in collaboration with other community colleges. The course offerings compliment BCC distance learning offerings to make it easier for students to complete their program of study. Students register for MCO classes just like they register for any other class at the college and can obtain their textbook at the BCC bookstore. However, MCO courses are offered though a partner institution so students do not access their course materials via Bristol Community Colleges WebCT learning management system. Instead, students enrolling in MCO courses will be contacted directly by their instructor via their accessBCC email address with information on how to access the course site.
