Accredited by Middle States Commission on Higher Education An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action College Message from the President Dear prospective students I welcome your interest and exploration of SUNY Orange. Having recently completed my second year as the College president, I hope your impressions of SUNY Orange will be as favorable as my early experiences have been. I�m confident you will find, as have I, that the College community is a warm and welcoming group where everyone is committed to helping students from all walks of life become successful. Many of our faculty members are experts in their fields, and they truly create the type of supportive and nurturing environment that sets community colleges apart from other institutions of higher learning. At the same time, they oversee a rigorous curriculum that will challenge you and also prepare you for the next chapter of your academic or professional career. The College offers a broad framework of student services and we are continually assessing how we can better assist you. Our staff will guide through the maze of financial aid options, help you navigate the admissions process and advise you on how to register for your first semester. And once you are enrolled, we gladly provide programming through our Wellness Center, Career and Internship Services, Veterans Services, and Advising Center to support your progress toward graduation. Student life at the College is more robust and lively than you may imagine. It has been proven that students who are engaged in the activities of their college perform better in class and develop leadership skills that extend beyond their college life. We have a diverse group of student clubs and organizations to help you develop friendships and relationships outside of the classroom. SUNY Orange also benefits from the support of many friends in the community who recognize the College�s impact upon the region and assist us in our efforts to make Orange County and the Hudson Valley an even greater place to live, work and study. These are among the many discoveries I�ve made during my time at SUNY Orange. The more I learn, the more I realize I made the right decision in joining this community. I trust you will find that SUNY Orange is the right place for you as well. I look forward to welcoming you to our family. Sincerely, Dr. Kristine M.

About SUNY Orange � College Overview Now well into its seventh decade, SUNY Orange has touched the lives of countless Orange County residents through its academic degree offerings, non�credit enrichment programming and cultural events. With campuses in Middletown and Newburgh, the College has grown to meet the needs of its students, while also addressing the demands of a growing and diverse population in Orange County. With its picturesque beauty, cozy confines and contemporary functionality, the SUNY Orange Middletown campus has become a comfortable and safe second home to students who seek academic challenge, friendship and lively activity. The Newburgh campus is located in downtown Newburgh with breathtaking views of the Hudson River. Students stroll a burgeoning campus that provides the latest amenities in its labs, classrooms and study spaces. Students may enroll in coursework that leads to the completion of one of three academic degrees�the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science�as well as one�year certificates. Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the College offers academic credits that may be earned through full�or part�time study, with courses primarily offered during weekday and evening hours, as well as online. Some weekend classes are available as well. Consistent with its mission to provide high�quality and accessible educational and enrichment opportunities, the College is noted for its commitment to ensuring student success. With the support of our caring faculty and staff, each of our students has the ability to achieve his or her academic and career goals. Advising, counseling, and career guidance and exploration are available to all students, as well as co�curricular and leadership opportunities that serve to complement the academic experience. Public and private four�year colleges actively seek our graduates for transfer into baccalaureate programs. Our graduates have built a longstanding reputation for excelling at their transfer institution, and those students who instead choose to enter the workforce upon graduation from SUNY Orange find success as well. Over the years, the College has earned its reputation as a pioneer and innovator in meeting the needs of its students and the area it primarily serves. The College was the first two�year college in the nation to offer the associate degree nursing program and studies in electron microscopy; and in 1982, the College was the first community college to plan and co�sponsor a business institute with local chambers of commerce. Today, under the guidance of an innovative and energetic president and armed with a clear vision that emanates from its Strategic Plan, the College is poised to further elevate its profile within the greater Orange County area as well as the State University of New York (SUNY). The College is comfortable building off its history of academic innovation and is actively engaged in revamping its curriculum and student support programs so that they continue to meet the needs of our students and the community�at�large. As a respected partner with many businesses, community organizations and civic groups, the College strives to mold the members of its diverse student body into the accomplished professionals and leaders they wish to become, all within an inclusive atmosphere where creativity and forward�thinking ideas are welcomed. SUNY Orange is governed by a 10�member Board of Trustees, with five members appointed by the Orange County Executive, four members appointed by the Governor of New York and one student trustee elected by the student body. The Middletown Campus From its original configuration of two buildings�a mansion and carriage house�in 1950, the Middletown campus has grown to its present size of 37 acres that houses 13 buildings. The College�s beautiful and picturesque grounds are landscaped with trees and flowers indigenous to the region, while many paths and walks bisect the former estate. The mansion, called Morrison Hall in honor of its donors, now houses administrative and faculty offices. The architectural centerpiece of the Middletown campus, Morrison Hall is a magnificent example of turn�of�the�century craftsmanship, featuring beautiful wood carving, mosaic work, stenciling, ornate marble fireplaces and a large stained glass window designed by Louis Tiffany. Horton Hall, the former carriage house, now provides additional administrative space for the College. Expansion over the years has infused the campus with significant additional educational space. The Middletown campus now boasts more than 60 general classrooms and lecture halls, along with a wide array of medical, technical and instructional laboratories. Dedicated laboratory space exists for programs in the health professions, as well as biology, chemistry, physics, architecture, criminal justice, cyber security and visual communications. Hudson Hall, Harriman Hall and the Bio�Medical Technology Building contain classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories and faculty offices. Orange Hall features a well�equipped theater as well as rehearsal rooms and performance space. The Library can accommodate 700 patrons who are afforded access to more than 95,000 print and non�print resources, videotapes, computer software and digital collections. The George F. Shepard Student Center houses a micro market food court, the College bookstore and nearly every student support function at the College. The Edward A. Diana Physical Education Center contains six handball courts, a swimming pool, the Chris Schmid gymnasium (capacity 3,000), human performance lab, three classrooms and an exercise room. Adjacent to the building are soccer and softball fields. About SUNY Orange The Gilman Center for International Education contains a lecture room, student study space and an aluminum and glass foyer, along with casework displaying papers and memorabilia from Congressman Ben Gilman�s long tenure in Washington, D.C. The Devitt Center for Botany and Horticulture includes a functioning greenhouse, the foundation of which is original to the estate, along with a combined classroom and laboratory space. The Rowley Center for Science & Engineering, which opened in August 2014, offers students and faculty in the STEM�related programs of science, biology, engineering and architecture the finest technological advances and state�of�the�art laboratory space, all under one roof. The Morrison Lab School at Middletown, as well as the Newburgh Campus Lab School, house the College�s child care services and serve as working laboratories for the College�s education students. The Newburgh Campus Certified as a branch campus by both the State University of New York and the New York State Education Department, the Newburgh campus offers selected academic degree programs in their entirety, enabling students in those programs to complete all of their degree requirements at the Newburgh site without having to commute to the Middletown campus. The full degree programs available in Newburgh include business management, criminal justice, criminal justice�police, human services, individual studies, liberal arts (humanities and social science) and nursing. In addition to its credit courses and programs, the Newburgh campus provides a variety of non�credit courses, certificate programs and personal enrichment classes, as well as a number of grant�funded employment and training initiatives and a program in ESL, all under the direction of the College�s Continuing and Professional Education Department (CAPE). The campus features Kaplan Hall and the Tower Building, both of which offer students contemporary, state�of�the�art classrooms and laboratories. Kaplan Hall, an 87,000�square�foot building that opened in Spring 2011, houses classrooms and science laboratories, as well as a two�story library, a one�stop center for all student services, a micro market caf� where students can mingle, and office spaces. A secure underground parking garage is accessible off First Street near Ebenezer Baptist Church. Additionally, a spectacular Great Room with a capacity of approximately 200 people provides a gathering space for campus and community groups alike. The six�story Tower Building, at the corner of Broadway and Colden Street, features general purpose classrooms, computer labs, art studios, a forensics lab, student government and activity space, a bookstore, a childcare center, a fitness center, and administrative offices. The College operates a free daily shuttle service between its Newburgh and Middletown campuses. Satellite Locations Credit and non�credit courses are also offered at Monroe�Woodbury and Warwick Valley high schools, as well as in Port Jervis at a county�owned location at 150 Pike Street. Academic Programs The College offers 39 degree and certificate programs within the broad categories of business, health professions, human services, technology and liberal arts. As a member of the 64�school State University of New York, SUNY Orange affords its students the confidence that all, or most, of their credits will transfer to a four�year SUNY institution, meaning they can remain on track to complete their studies. The College has also established transfer agreements with many other colleges and universities to facilitate smooth transitions for our students. The College is committed to providing �experiential learning� opportunities. For example, accounting students have assisted community members with filing their taxes; engineering students have developed a solar�powered car and boat; biology students participate in local water monitoring and mosquito trapping; and architecture students visit local sites to enhance their classroom learning. Health professions students enjoy the highest�quality clinical experiences available. Student research, as another means of expanding academic horizons, is encouraged. The College supports such endeavors by hosting an annual SUNY Orange Achievements in Research and Scholarship (SOARS) conference. There is also a robust Honors Program for students who desire a more challenging academic experience. In addition, SUNY Orange also offers students a chance to secure a bachelor�s degree in certain programs without ever leaving Orange County, thanks to its relationship with Franklin University and its Community College Alliance. Participation in the Hudson Valley Educational Consortium brings emergency response and innovative technology degree programs from other community colleges in the area to the classrooms of SUNY Orange. Continuing and Professional Education (CAPE) programming provides non�credit courses in a host of subject areas, including technology, healthcare, business and enrichment. Student Profile SUNY Orange students come from all walks of life and are committed to their education. Our graduates speak highly of a curriculum that challenges them and prepares them to thrive when they transfer to four�year institutions. Enrollment reports for the 2016 Fall semester reveal that slightly more than half (56.4 percent) of SUNY Orange�s students attend the College full�time, while the About SUNY Orange / Your Right to Know average age of the SUNY Orange student is 23 years old. Females comprise 59.2 percent of the College�s enrollment. A sizeable majority (82.2 percent) of students reside in Orange County while 73.0 percent of SUNY Orange students fall into the �traditional� category (age 24 or younger). Nearly 29.9 percent of SUNY Orange students are Hispanic/Latino while 12.8 percent are African�American.

Other race/ethnicity classifications account for 6.2 percent of the student population. The remaining 51.1 percent are white. Student Resources Consistent with its mission to meet the higher education needs of students, the College is noted for its commitment to ensuring student success. Students enter SUNY Orange with a variety of goals, including: seeking an associate�s degree; transferring to a four�year institution; acquiring skills and knowledge for employment opportunities; and personal enrichment. With the support of caring faculty and staff, each student has the ability to achieve his or her academic and career goals. The College demonstrates its commitment to students� success by providing comprehensive services that include individualized assistance in advising, counseling, tutoring and mentoring. Nearly every College service features some component aimed at helping students complete a successful stay at SUNY Orange. Federal and state grant funding has helped the College offer TRIO and EOP programs for eligible students, and SUNY Orange employs a part�time veterans coordinator to assure our former and current service members are fully supported. Computer and tutorial laboratories are easily accessible throughout both campuses so students can refine their skills with one�on�one instruction from a professor or tutor, or work on class projects and papers. Faculty members routinely are available for additional meetings, outside of the classroom setting, in order to help students successfully navigate the curriculum. There are an array of online support systems in place as well through MySUNYOrange, the College�s web�based portal where students can access records, pay bills, log in to the Blackboard online learning community, manage their degree requirements, check email and locate other critical College information. Career guidance and exploration are also available to all students, along with co�curricular and leadership opportunities that serve to complement the academic experience. In addition, the College continually evaluates and revises its list of academic offerings in order to provide students with the latest curricula, contemporary new degree programs and relevant certificate programs. Orange County Orange County is bordered by the Hudson River on the east and the Delaware River on the west. Located approximately 60 miles north of New York City, the county combines beautiful rolling countryside with a vibrant economy and ideal location to offer one of the country�s most desirable residential locations. With an exceptional transportation infrastructure and an affordable quality of life, Orange County is the fastest growing county in New York State. More than 80 percent of SUNY Orange students come from Orange County, and a sizeable number of our graduates live and work in the Hudson Valley. Our graduates contribute to the vitality of the county, and the College delivers a sizeable economic, social and cultural impact upon the region (estimated at $301.5 million during the 2010�11 academic year). The State University of New York SUNY Orange is one of 30 two�year community colleges that comprise part of the State University of New York, the largest comprehensive university system in the United States, educating nearly 460,000 students in more than 7,500 degree and certificate programs on 64 college and university campuses, and online through Open SUNY. SUNY students and faculty across the state make significant contributions to research and discovery, resulting in nearly $1 billion of externally�sponsored activity each year. There are 3 million SUNY alumni worldwide. SUNY is governed by a board of trustees, appointed by the governor, which directly determines the policies to be followed by the 34 state�supported campuses. Community colleges have their own local boards of trustees whose relationship to the SUNY board is defined by law. The State University motto is: "To Learn�To Search� To Serve." The 30 two�year community colleges operating under the SUNY program play a unique role in the expansion of educational opportunity by: � providing local industry with trained technicians in a wide variety of occupational curriculums � providing transfer options for students who wish to go on and earn advanced degrees, and � providing the community with yet another source for technical and professional upgrading as well as personal enrichment. � Your Right to Know Federal Student Right�to�Know legislation requires colleges and universities to report the percentage of full�time students who began and completed their program requirements within 150% of the normal time for completion � three years for an associate degree. Additionally, the federal government requires Tobacco Policy / Campus Safety & Security Statistics / HV Educational Consortium institutions to track and report the percentage of first�time, full�time students who return to the college for their second year of instruction. In both measurements, SUNY Orange performs consistently well. Twenty nine percent of the Fall 2010 cohort (the most recent to complete 150% of their time since entering the College) have either graduated or transferred to another institution. While 64 percent of the first�time, full�time students entering SUNY Orange in the Fall of 2012, returned for the Fall 2013 semester. For more information, or to compare SUNY Orange to other institutions, please visit the National Center for Education Statistics at http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator. � Tobacco Free College The SUNY Orange Board of Trustees has adopted a Tobacco Free policy for both campuses of the College. The policy bans the use of tobacco products on the Middletown and Newburgh campuses, except in; � College�owned and numbered parking lots on the Middletown campus. � The plaza patio area between the Tower and Maple Buildings on the Newburgh campus. � The First Street entrance to the campus promenade on the Newburgh campus. � Campus Safety and Security Statistics In compliance with the Campus Safety and Security Act of 1998 (Clery Amendment) and New York State Education law Article 129�A, SUNY Orange maintains crime statistics related to crimes reported to campus security and local law enforcement agencies. These statistics can be obtained by visiting the U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education website at http://www.ope.ed.gov/security/Search.asp or by visiting the SUNY Orange website at http://www.sunyorange.edu/safety/statistics.shtml. The federal government site offers the statistics for colleges across the nation. You may search the web site for SUNY Orange by name or by using our OPE ID.

The four member colleges develop and offer two�year degrees in such areas as Cyber Security, Fire Protection Technology, and Green Building Maintenance and Management. A wide range of continuing education certification programs are also available. Students are encouraged to take their general education coursework at their �home� colleges. Students participate in Consortium programs to the greatest extent possible from their �home� college via online and interactive television video rooms; however, some courses require students to travel to �lead� colleges.

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission Red Flags Rule (16 CFR 681.2) under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003, the College will employ its Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Program to identify accounts susceptible to fraud, recognize possible indications of identity theft associated with those accounts, devise methods to detect such activity and respond appropriately when such activity is detected. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission�s Red Flags Rule (16 CFR 681.2), the College will require all individuals requesting services to provide a SUNY Orange Identification Card, a driver�s license or other government issued identification (with photo). � Certificate of Residence All students are charged the appropriate rate of tuition and fees depending on the number of credits taken and the student's area of residence. Please follow the instructions listed below. The application for Certificate of Residence can be obtained from the Student Services Central. It is also included in all registration material and is available on the College website. In accordance with New York State Education Law, Section 6301, each full�time and part�time student residing in New York State must file a Certificate of Residence. The County of Legal Residence for a New York State resident attending a community college contributes to the College a portion of the College's cost for providing services to the student. The basis for assessing counties for this money is the Certificate of Residence. Note: A person does not acquire New York State Domicile (legal residence) simply by being physically present in New York State for a period of 12 months or for the sole purpose of attending a New York State College or University. If your principal or permanent home has not been New York State for a 12�month period immediately prior to the start date of the semester, you will be considered an out�of�state student for tuition purposes. Certificates are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. A new Certificate must be submitted each year. To prove residence for any county in New York State you must: Have resided in New York State for one year AND resided in your home county for six months prior to the first day of classes. Withdrawal from Course / Holds / Early Registration The appropriate documentation and/or certificate must be received within 30 days from the start date of the semester, otherwise the non�resident tuition charge cannot be removed from your bill. Payment (less non�resident tuition) must be made by the established deadline dates. Adjusted bills are available upon request or can be viewed on Self�Service Banner. ORANGE COUNTY RESIDENTS Complete the Affidavit/Application for Certificate of Residence. Include this with your adjusted payment (subtract non�resident tuition amount from balance due). NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS FROM COUNTIES OTHER THAN ORANGE COUNTY A student from a New York county other than Orange is required to submit a Certificate of Residence from their county of legal residence covering 6 months prior to the first day of classes. To secure the required certificate, follow the procedures below: Contact the Treasurer's Office or Chief Fiscal Officer of your home county to inquire about acceptable forms of proof you will need to prove your residency. Once you have obtained a Certificate of Residence, you must submit the original to SUNY Orange Student Services Central. This will entitle you to pay the resident tuition rate. Please note per New York State Education Law, NY state counties are only required to issue and honor Certificates of Residence dated no earlier than 60 days prior to the start of classes and no later than 30 days after. After the first 30 days of classes, counties will no longer issue certificates of residence and payment for the non�resident tuition charge then becomes the student's responsibility. Late certificates will be accepted by our office, but your account will only be reduced if your county accepts our billing. NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE LIVED IN MORE THAN ONE COUNTY DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS Contact each county in which you resided, as a Certificate of Residence will be required from each of those counties. Proceed as indicated above. Students who fail to meet the full six month residence requirement will be charged the non�resident tuition. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR IMMIGRANT AND UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS Immigrant Aliens must have held a Permanent Resident Alien Identification Card ("green card") for one full year and be able to establish New York State residency to be eligible for resident tuition rates. Foreign students on the following visas do not qualify for the residence rate: F(student), B(visitor), J(exchange), C, D, H2A, H3, H4 if on H2/H3, M, O, P, Q, R, TN, or TD visas. Effective July 1998, certain undocumented aliens may be eligible for the resident tuition rate. The undocumented alien must have graduated from a New York State high school and applied for SUNY admissions within five years of receiving the New York State diploma. The undocumented alien must complete a notarized affidavit stating that the student has filed or intends to file an application to legalize his or her immigration status. Providing the college with proof of residency is an important step in your registration process. Students who fail to present documentation will be charged non�resident tuition. Please contact the Bursar at (845) 341�4830 if you have any questions about the proper way to complete the requirement. � Withdrawal from Course To formally withdraw from a credit or non�credit course, a student must complete a withdrawal form and return it to Student Services Central. As of the day of receipt of this form, the appropriate refund schedule will apply. Students who receive financial aid from any of the following sources: Federal Programs (Title IV)�Pell Grant, Supplemental Equal Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Perkins Loan, Federal Family Education Loans and State Grants may be responsible for repaying a portion of their aid if they drop or stop attending classes during the refund period. Withdrawal from classes may also affect eligibility for financial aid for the following semester or academic year. Students will be notified by mail if monies are due the College. � Holds Students who have unmet financial obligations or who have failed to comply with College requirements are not permitted to register or receive grades until the hold is cleared with the issuing office. Further, information relating to student records, such as certification of attendance and diplomas are also withheld. � Early Registration for Students Enrolled full�time degree�seeking students are encouraged to register early for the next semester. Registration during designated periods (see academic calendar) will aid students in obtaining seats in desired classes. Financial Aid SUNY Orange participates in most major federal and state financial aid programs and offers institutional scholarships as well. There is a Financial Aid office at each college location to assist eligible students in removing the financial barriers that may discourage them from attending college. All students are urged to file an application for financial aid. In order for the Financial Aid office to finalize eligibility or award financial aid, all required documentation requested must be submitted. The FAFSA is the first step in the financial aid process. You can complete the FAFSA to apply for federal student financial aid, such as the PELL Grant, student loans, and federal work study. The FAFSA is available on the FAFSA website www.fafsa.ed.gov. Financial aid is available in many forms: grants, scholarships, loans, and employment opportunities. Federal, state, and local guidelines determine the amount and types of financial aid offered to individual students. You must reapply each year for most of these programs. Students usually are offered financial aid packages consisting of a combination of grants, scholarships, employment and loans. Grants and scholarships are considered "gift" assistance and need not be repaid. Loans are offered at low interest rates and can be repaid over an extended period of time beginning six months after the student graduates or enrolls for less than 6 credits at the College. If you are offered aid in the form of a job (Federal Work�Study), it is paid at an hourly rate. � College Costs at SUNY Orange The direct costs that all full�time SUNY Orange students must pay each academic year are: Non�Commuter Commuter Out of State Direct Student Cost $6,898 $6,898 $11,674 Additional indirect educational costs that students should consider: Room and Board 3,000 6,000 6,000 Transportation 1,350 1,350 1,350 Personal 1,766 2,466 2,466 Total $13,014 $16,714 $21,490 � The above indirect costs are approximate and are used by SUNY Orange to determine the need for financial aid. 7ll figures are subject to possible change. � Tuition is based on the cost for the current school year. � 7ll Direct Cost figures above are subject to possible change. � Double tuition is charged to out-of-state students and international students. � The above Estimated Costs are used by Orange County Community College to determine the need for financial aid. � �Non-commuter� refers to dependent students living away from home and/or independent students living on their own. � If an independent student is living with a non-parent family member who is supplying room and board, the student�s Financial 7id budget will be adjusted accordingly. � Students who have costs for child care should submit proof of those additional expenses. � General Eligibility Requirements Eligibility depends on many factors. To receive aid from the federal and state student aid programs offered at SUNY Orange, you must satisfy the following: � be officially admitted � have a high school diploma or a GED � be a U. S. citizen or permanent resident � meet the minimum academic criteria specified for each financial aid program (see �Federal Standard for Satisfactory Academic Progress� in this section) � have a valid Social Security number � not owe a Federal PELL, Academic Competitiveness Grant, National Smart, Teach Grant, or FSEOG over�award � not be in default on a Federal Stafford Loan or Federal Direct Loan � be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program � all credits must apply to the degree major � must attend courses that you are registered for Non�Qualification for Independence (factors thatdo not qualify a student for independent status) � Parents refusal to contribute to a student�s education � Parents are unwilling to provide information for the application or verification � Parents do not claim the student as a dependent for income tax purposes � Student demonstrates total self�sufficiency How to Apply for Financial Aid This information is provided as a guide and is subject to change without notice to comply with federal, state, and institutional policies. You can only receive financial aid at one college at a time. If you are attending a second college a consortium agreement must be completed between the colleges in order to declare a home school. A Financial Aid Application must be completed to be considered for all types of grants, loans, scholarships, and work opportunities at SUNY Orange. Some awards and grants may require additional forms. To apply, take these steps: � Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Submit the FAFSA application online at the FAFSA website: www.fafsa.ed.gov. � When completing the FAFSA, be sure to list SUNY Orange's name and school code 002876. The college address is 115 South St., Middletown NY 10940. Submit the completed and electronically signed FAFSA to the Federal Central Processor. � You should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) within 3 weeks after submitting your application to the processor. Students are able to check the status and view the results from the FAFSA application online. You should retain the SAR in your personal files. Financial Aid � If SUNY Orange is listed on the SAR, the Financial Aid office will receive the student's SAR electronically. Three weeks after submitting the FAFSA application, you should check your �MySUNYOrange� account for receipt of an electronic SAR. � Your FAFSA may be selected in a process called verification, and the school may request certain financial documents. Verification documents can be obtained from the Financial Aid office or downloaded from the Financial Aid documents website, or link to the MySUNYOrange section labeled �Student Requirements� on your �MySUNYOrange� account. If additional documentation is required, you will receive a tracking e�mail stating you have additional documents outstanding. If there are questions remaining, the student can contact the Financial Aid office at his or her campus. You should respond quickly to all correspondence received from the Financial Aid office. Documents are processed in the order they are received. After the Financial Aid Office receives your SAR and all requested information, the staff will: � Review the information. � Make an award based on eligibility and availability of funds. � Send a preliminary award letter to first�time freshmen. � Sophomores are directed to view their awards online and print the award letter at your �MySUNYOrange� account. The award letter lists the types and amounts of aid awarded. � The award letter may also list additional requirements that you must fulfill before funds can be disbursed. � Your awards may change after the verification process, or changes in enrollment. If this occurs you will receive an e�mail notification directing you to your MySUNYOrange Award Letter page. You should keep your award letter with your SAR. You must keep your name, address, e�mail address and telephone number current with the Bursar's Office on campus. When a student is determined to be eligible for financial aid, tuition and fees may be covered to the extent of the aid, provided the student's financial aid file is completed by the target due date. If the aid is not sufficient to cover tuition and fees, the student is responsible for the balance, which is due by the Bursar�s officially published due date. If the aid exceeds the cost of actual tuition and fees, a refund will be issued to the student from the Student Accounts Office (See published disbursements dates on the Bursar�s web pages). Summer Sessions Please contact the Financial Aid Office for further information on requirements for summer financial aid. Please visit our website at www.sunyorange.edu/financialaid. Target Dates This information is provided as a guide and is subject to change without notice to comply with federal, state, and institutional policies. Target dates are not deadlines. Target dates ensure that the financial aid funds you are eligible to receive will be on your account for tuition deferment before the payment due date. After these target dates, applications for financial aid and loans can still be processed, but you may have to arrange for alternative means of payment, such as using your own funds or participating in the Tuition Payment Plan, until your financial aid processing is completed. Target Dates for PELL Grants and Direct Loans: � Fall Enrollees: July 1st � Spring Enrollees: December 1st Target Date for Campus�Based Aid [Including Federal Work�Study (FWS), and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)]: � Fall Enrollees: April 15th � Award Package Offering � Once you have been awarded aid, you will receive an award letter that lists the various types of aid you are eligible to receive during the award year. Awards are based on full�time (12 or more credit hours) status; some awards may be adjusted if you do not enroll as a full�time student. However, aid will automatically be pro�rated at the time of disbursement if you are not full�time. If it is determined that you are not eligible for aid after it is awarded, the Financial Aid office is required to adjust your awards. � All Student Aid Reports go through a review process before any aid is disbursed. If a student is selected for verification all required documents must be submitted and verified with the information on the Student Aid Report before any disbursements can be finalized. The college must have a correct Student Aid Report with complete information by their last day of enrollment for each FAFSA year. NYS TAP grants are automatically reviewed. Students may be awarded grants, scholarships, work study and federal subsidized and unsubsidized loan funds up to the cost of college attendance. These loan programs require you to accept your loans on your MySUNYOrange web pages. You will need to go to www.studentloans.gov web site to fill out an Electronic Master Promissory Note, and Entrance Counseling. Students who apply by the priority processing due date will be considered for all available funds. Some funds are limited and are awarded to eligible students based on greatest need and meeting the April 15th deadline. Financial Aid � Evaluating Your Award Package � You should evaluate your award package carefully. � Remember: loans must be paid back. � Be sure to check whether or not your living expenses will be as high as the estimated allowance projected by your school; if they aren�t, you may need to adjust your borrowing. To get an idea of your college expenses, use the Net Price Calculator at www.sunyorange.edu/financialaid/index.shtml. � To get an idea of your monthly loan payments after you graduate, see the Repayment Calculator at http://studentaid.ed.gov/repay�loans/understand/plans/#estimator. � You have the right to decline the loan or to request a smaller amount. � Remember that loan money must be paid back with interest. You should only borrow as a last resort. � Federal Standard For Satisfactory Academic Progress Federal regulations (Sections 668.16(e).668.32(f) and 668.34) require that schools monitor the academic progress of all applicants for federal financial assistance and that the schools certify that applicants are making satisfactory academic progress toward earning their degree. This determination of progress must be made at least once a year for degree programs, and at the end of every semester for certificate programs before the Financial Aid Office disburses any federal aid funds for the subsequent semester. Federal Title IV programs include: PELL, and Stafford Loans, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant & Federal Work Study. Our web page at: www.sunyorange.edu/financialaid/standards.shtml contains a chart for your convenience on the calculation of Satisfactory Academic Progress and how your eligibility is affected by Program Pace, Cumulative Grade Point Average, and Maximum Program time frame. Academic progress is checked at the end of each academic year for degree programs and at the end of every semester for certificate programs. SUNY Orange�s academic year for Associate Degree programs is measured from May to May. If you fail to meet the minimum completion percentage (attempted vs. accumulated credit hours) or maintain the minimum grade point average you will forfeit all federal financial aid. If you have reached the maximum number of attempted credits without earning a degree, you will be excluded from further participation in federal financial aid programs (PELL grants, Direct Loans, and Federal Work Study). Federal regulations require that these standards apply to all students. Attempted hours are those hours for which you were still officially registered at the conclusion of each semester's Add/Drop period. Withdrawals are counted as attempted hours. Maximum hours to earn degree: To quantify academic progress, a school must set a maximum time frame in which a student is expected to complete a program. For an undergraduate program, the maximum time frame cannot exceed 150% of the published length of the program measured in credit hours attempted. The majority of SUNY Orange undergraduate programs require 66 hours for graduation. The maximum time frame for students in these programs is 99 attempted hours (66 x 1.5=99). � Withdrawals: All grades including W are counted as courses attempted and count toward the maximum time frame. � Audited Courses: You do not earn any academic credits for audited courses. However, these courses count in the calculation of your "attempted hours." � Pass/Fail Courses: These hours do count within the total of attempted and earned hours. � Transfer Credits accepted for your academic program, are counted as credits attempted and credits earned and are also used to calculate the maximum time frame to complete your program. � Developmental Credits are not counted in your academic program, but they are counted in your total of accepted and accumulated hours. � Double Majors and/or Minors: If you pursue a double major/minor you will normally be expected to complete all degree requirements before reaching 99 attempted hours. � Change in Majors: If you change your major you will normally be expected to complete all degree requirements before reaching 99 attempted hours. � 2nd Associate�s Degree: If you have already been awarded an Associate�s degree, you may apply for a second degree only if the second degree is different from the first degree. Ordinarily, a second degree at the undergraduate level is discouraged, and a Bachelor�s degree is encouraged. � You will be limited to how much you can borrow under the Direct Loan Program. These limits are not increased for students working on additional degrees. � PELL grants are limited to the equivalent of 12 full�time semesters. If you are enrolled in a Certificate Program you are allowed a total of 45 credits attempted to complete the program. If you are enrolled in an Associate Degree Program you are allowed a total of 99 attempted credits to complete the program. Financial Aid � Financial Aid Probation If you have fallen below the completion ratio on the Satisfactory Academic Progress chart published on the SUNY Orange Financial Aid web pages, and/or you have failed to maintain the required minimum GPA associated with that completion ratio, you will be placed on federal financial aid probation. You will be allowed only one probationary semester during your academic plan if an appeal is granted. While on financial aid probation you will receive a separate letter that will outline the academic requirements you must meet in order to receive federal financial aid for the following semester. If you meet the terms of financial aid probation, you will be permitted to continue to participate in federal student aid programs (PELL grants, loans, and Federal Work Study) for subsequent semesters. If you have been placed on financial aid probation you shall be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress for the purposes of receiving federal financial aid as long as you continue to meet the academic requirements outlined in your probationary letter. While on Financial Aid probation, the Financial Aid Office will review your academic transcript at the end of the following semester to ensure you meet the conditions of your probation in relation to Progress and Grade Point Average. If you do not meet the terms of your probation, you will forfeit eligibility for all Federal Financial Aid programs (PELL grants, Loans, Federal Work Study). Grade Changes Students who are receiving aid on a probationary basis must resolve all incomplete grades before the Financial Aid Office can make a final determination of the satisfactory academic progress guidelines. Students must report any grade changes that impact their aid eligibility directly to the Financial Aid Office. Students must notify the Financial Aid Office once their final grades have been posted. Probation Standards Not Met If you have lost eligibility to participate in federal student aid programs for reasons of academic progress, you may regain eligibility by enrolling at SUNY Orange at your own expense, and making up the Deficiency of Progress or GPA. The mere passage of time will not ordinarily restore eligibility to a student who has failed to make satisfactory academic progress policy. If you have been academically dismissed from SUNY Orange but are subsequently given permission to re�enroll, you are not automatically eligible to continue to participate in Federal Financial Aid programs. Admissions decisions are totally separate from funding decisions. � Right to Appeal To appeal your Satisfactory Academic Progress status, you must submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form at: https://sunyorange.edu/machform/view.php?id=210312 along with any required documentation, detailing the extenuating circumstances that contributed to your not meeting the SAP standards. Considerations for appeals exist if you had a severe illness, medical condition, injury, traumatic life altering experience, or the death of a parent that prevented you from being successful in the semester in which you did poorly. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee approval to reinstate your eligibility for receiving financial aid. The decision of the Appeals Committee is final. Deadlines: To ensure that Financial Aid funds for which you may be eligible are on your account before the payment due date, you should submit your appeal by: Summer � June 1st; Fall � June 15th; and Spring � December 15th. If an appeal is submitted after the deadline dates, you will need to make arrangements for alternative means of payment until your Financial Aid can be processed, using your own funds or participating in the Tuition Payment Plan. Appeals submitted after the current deadline date of August (see published day on our web page) for the Fall semester, and January (see published day on our web page) for the Spring semester will be evaluated for the following semester, and will NOT be accepted for the current semester. Appeal Approval Conditions: Appeals can only be approved if the Financial Aid Appeals Committee determines : � You will be able to meet SUNY Orange�s Satisfactory Academic Progress chart after the next payment period; or � You have agreed to follow an Academic Plan that, if followed, will ensure that the student can meet the college�s Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines by a specific point in time. If an Appeal is granted: If your appeal is granted you will receive aid on a conditional basis for one semester (this is known as the probationary period). The conditions will be outlined in a letter sent to you granting the appeal. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will review your record at the end of the semester to determine your status for the following semester. Students who fail to meet the conditions outlined in their individualized academic plans during their conditional semester will not be allowed to submit a subsequent appeal. Financial Aid � Federal Financial Aid Programs Federal PELL Grant The PELL Grant is a grant from the Federal government and does not have to be repaid. The amount of the grant is based on the amount of funds actually available for the program as designated by Congress. The maximum award is distributed over two semesters for full�time enrollment and may be pro�rated. All undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the Federal PELL Grant. Students may receive PELL Grants for as many as 12 full�time semesters (or the equivalent). The student must be enrolled at the time the Student Aid Report is received by the Financial Aid Office. Even though the student may file the FAFSA after the semester has started, a payment cannot be made if the student ceases to be enrolled. For students taking developmental courses, federal aid funds will only pay for the first 30 attempted credits of developmental study. Eligibility Exclusion Effective July 1, 2009, an individual subject to involuntary civil confinement or civil commitment upon completion of a period of incarceration for a forcible or non�forcible sexual crime is ineligible for a PELL Grant.

Students who have earned a Bachelor's degree are not eligible. FAFSA completion is required. All Campus�Based�Aid programs are subject to the federal government�s allocation to the school. When all the funds are exhausted, awarding and disbursement of this aid program stops. Federal Work Study Program Eligible students may work part�time while in college to help defray their educational cost. Students are paid an hourly rate and receive a paycheck every two weeks for the hours worked. Students cannot earn more than the amount of their work�study award. Salary is based on published rates in the Federal Work Study manual. All students awarded work�study are placed in the job by the college's Placement Office. (The College Work�Study Manual provides further information.) FAFSA completion is required. Work�Study funds are allocated each year by the Federal government. The Financial Aid Office will award work�study to eligible students until the funds for the year are exhausted. SUNY Orange participates in the William D. FordDirect Loan program Federal Stafford Loans The Federal Stafford Loan is a loan that must be repaid upon completion of school or interruption of studies. The student who qualifies may borrow up to $5,500 for the academic year as a freshman and $6,500 as a sophomore. Independent students who still need loan assistance after Federal Stafford Loan eligibility is determined will be packaged with a maximum of $4,000 additionally each year. Dependent students may apply for an additional unsubsidized loan if your parents are unable to obtain a PLUS loan. All borrowers are required to complete an electronic master Promissory Note, and entrance counseling before funds can be disbursed. If you are a freshman and a first�time borrower for a student loan, federal regulations require that the first loan disbursement be delayed until 30 days after the start of classes. Students are required to be actively enrolled for at least six credit hours each semester to maintain loan eligibility.

Some scholarships listed may not be awarded every year. 2017�2018 www.sunyorange.edu This page intentionally left blank Academic Policies and Procedures Academic policies are statements of regulations that the college develops for the facilitation of the teaching and learning process. Academic policy reflects the philosophy of education at Orange County Community College. Policies can be revised as the philosophy of education at the college changes. The mechanism for effecting any change is the campus governance system. Revisions of academic policy must relate to the whole system of existing policies. Those recommendations of the campus governance system that relate to academic policies are submitted to the President of the College for approval. The Vice President for Academic Affairs or his/her designee publishes the Academic Policy Manual for distribution. � Examinations and Other Performance Measures Students have the right to periodic evaluation of their performance throughout the semester with grades or recorded written assessments. The number, type, and scheduling of performance measures in each course will be determined by individual instructors consistent with department policy.* However, there must be a minimum of one performance measure for a one credit course, two for a two�credit course and three for courses of three or more credits. Unless mandated by department policy,* comprehensive final examinations are given at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Comprehensive final examinations may not be more than 2 � hours in length and must be scheduled in accordance with final exam procedures. The performance evaluation procedure to be followed in each course must be explained completely and specifically in the course syllabus. The instructions for examinations or performance measures must be clearly indicated. The grading value of the component parts of each exam must be indicated on the exam. Faculty who teach online courses and require students to participate in testing or other course activities in person must indicate that within the syllabi as well as include notice in the online course schedule. At the end of each semester, a copy of the comprehensive final examination, if given, or the most significant evaluative device must be submitted to the office designated by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and kept on record for a period that accords with New York State guidelines. *These department policies must be approved by a 75% vote of all full�time department faculty members. � Grades Final Grades Final grades will be A, A�, B+, B, B�, C+, C, C�, D+, D, D�, F, W or one of the following: � The final grade in developmental courses and support modules will be DVP, DVF, or DVH. � The final grade in courses taken on a pass/fail basis will be PP for pass or PF for fail. � A grade of ZF (or ZDF for developmental courses and support modules or ZPF for pass/fail courses) will be assigned to students who stop attending before the end of the 10th week of the semester or its equivalent and do not withdraw themselves or receive an instructor withdrawal. A ZF grade is calculated as an F in the student�s CQPA. Grades must be submitted as specified by the Registrar�s Office. Change of Final Grade Except for academic grievances, after a final grade has been submitted, the instructor can change the grade within four weeks by filling out the required form and getting the signature of the Department Chair. After four weeks, such a change also requires the signature of the Appropriate Associate Vice President. Grade changes must be processed by the end of the following semester in which the course was taken. Incomplete The grade of Incomplete (I) may be given at the discretion of the instructor. The instructor must submit a change of grade by the end of the next fall or spring Semester, whichever comes first. If the work is not completed, the I will become an F. The grade of Incomplete (I) cannot be used in developmental courses. A student desiring to graduate with one or more Incompletes may do so; however the Incomplete(s) shall count as an F for purpose of computing the CQPA. Grade of W A student who drops a course(s) by the end of the 12th week or its equivalent as stated in the academic calendar will receive a grade of W. A student who officially withdraws from a course between the 4th and 12th week or its equivalent will have the course appear on his/her transcript with a grade of W. After the 12th week or its equivalent a student will receive the grade that they earned in the course. Grades / Attendance / Academic Dishonesty / Degree Requirements / Graduation Grade of HOLD The grade of HOLD (DVH) may be used in developmental courses only. The DVH grade indicates a degree of progress which is insufficient to make a Pass grade (DVP) appropriate, but does warrant the student's continuation in that course. Distribution of Grades Each student must be graded primarily on the basis of his or her achievement, as distinguished from aptitude, interest, or effort. Grades may also be significantly affected by attendance or violations of other academic policies (see Policy #3 on Attendance). No quota system of allocating grades is authorized. The meaning of letter grades is: A�, A = 90 �100%, B�, B, B+ = 80 �89%, C�, C, C+ = 70 �79%, D�, D, D+ = 60 �69%, F = 0 �59%. Faculty whose grades are based on a different numbering system must indicate so in their course syllabi. Mid�Semester Progress Reports The deadline for submitting Mid�Semester Progress Report(s) is specified in the College Calendar. Such report(s) must be made on all students whose work to date is of less than C quality or otherwise unsatisfactory. Mid�Semester Progress Report(s) are to indicate only that progress to date has been unsatisfactory. � Attendance Attendance is required in all courses. Instructors must describe their attendance policies and repercussions of absences in their syllabi. Instructors shall not penalize students for absences for religious observance or jury duty, and provided the instructor�s permission is given in advance, for participation in college�sponsored events. It is the student�s responsibility to contact each instructor regarding absences. � Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty is regarded by the College as an intolerable breach of academic ethics and deserves immediate penalty. The consequences of academic dishonesty may include academic penalties, disciplinary action, or even legal action. The primary responsibility for dealing with academic dishonesty rests with the faculty member. The definition of academic dishonesty in the College�s �Code of Student Conduct� includes, but is not limited to: (a) cheating; (b) fabrication; (c) facilitating academic dishonesty; (d) plagiarism; (e) forgery; (f) bribery; or (g) multiple submissions (submitting the same assignment to more than one instructor without the permission of the instructors). Depending on the specific circumstances, academic penalties could range from a verbal reprimand to separation from the College. For some acts of academic dishonesty, the student may also be accountable to legal authorities. When plagiarism, cheating or some other act of academic dishonesty has occurred, the faculty member shall advise the student of the action to be taken. In addition, any instance of academic dishonesty may result in the referral to the Vice President for Student Services for appropriate disciplinary action pursuant to the College�s Code of Student Conduct. � Degree Requirements Each of the degrees must meet the minimum requirements of and be approved by the State University of New York (SUNY) and the New York State Education Department (NYSED). College�prescribed portions of the degree requirements, are binding upon the Registrar, who must certify each candidate's eligibility for the Associate Degree. A course requirement in a particular degree may be waived with the approval of: (1) the chair of the department which offers the course; (2) the chair which sponsors the degree; and (3) the appropriate Associate Vice President. No college credit is granted for successful performance on a high school equivalency test. Courses used to meet the General Education requirements for the A.A.S. degree cannot also be used to meet the major�field requirement of 20 credits. � Multiple Associate Degrees The Registrar will award multiple degrees when students complete a minimum of fifteen credit hours at the College that were not required or applied to the first degree and satisfy all other requirements for awarding of a degree. A student may earn multiple AS degrees, or multiple AAS degrees, or an AA and an AS. Only one AA degree may be awarded with the following exception. Because of its distinct and separate nature from other programs, the AA in International Studies may be awarded as a second AA degree. (5/14/97) All grades earned in courses taken at this College applied to an additional degree will be included in the CQPA for the additional degree. � Graduation Participation Participation in the College�s Commencement ceremony is limited to the following students and criteria: those who met the requirements of a program, registered by the New York State Education Department and the State University of New York; and potential August graduates who have no more than 6 credits remaining or Academic Recognitions / Repeating A Course / Credits / Prerequisites / Academic Freedom 2 courses which do not exceed 8 credits left to finish over the subsequent Summer Semesters. Students must meet all other requirements for their degrees, have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the Spring semester, and apply for May commencement by the due date. No degree shall be conferred until all requirements for graduation have been met. � Academic Recognitions/Designations upon Graduation Students who have completed at least 30 credits of work at the college and have a CQPA of 4.00 in the courses taken here will receive the President�s Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement upon graduation. Upon graduation those students with a CQPA of 3.20� 3.49 will be designated as Cum Laude graduates, 3.50� 3.74 as Magna Cum Laude graduates, and 3.75�4.00 as Summa Cum Laude graduates. � Repeating a Course A student who is eligible to register may repeat any credit bearing course (for developmental courses see Policy #27.). The grade received on the final attempt automatically becomes the official grade. It replaces, in computation of CQPA, any previous grade in the same course. Some academic courses may be repeated for credit only once with Curriculum Committee review and approval. Department Chairs, with the approval of the appropriate Associate Vice President, may waive this policy, and appeals for denials will be processed using the Academic Grievance Process. Students who fail to achieve the minimum grade required for progression or graduation and may no longer repeat that course are thereby removed from the program/curriculum, but not necessarily separated from the College. � Transfer Credits Credit courses successfully completed at a United States Department of Education approved college, with a grade of C or better, may be accepted to fulfill graduation requirements. Such courses, if accepted, do not affect the CQPA at this College. Students may appeal any decision of the College not to accept a credit course for transfer credit using the appropriate processes. � Advanced Placement The College may grant credit for high school advance placement courses in which the student earns a grade of 3.0 or higher on the final examination. Additional departmental criteria may apply. � New York State Regents College Examination Program (formerly the New York State College Proficiency Examination Program) The College may accept for credit college courses which the student has successfully passed in the New York State Regents College Examination Program. � Credit by Examination The discipline areas or departments will determine those courses for which credit by examination is available. The college maintains a list of College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests that are accepted for credit. In addition, department chairs may create course specific examinations. Departments offering course specific exams for credit must develop procedures for student application. The grading of departmental examinations is pass/fail and a grade of P will be recorded on the transcript of a student who is successful in passing an examination. Students who successfully pass CLEP examinations will be awarded appropriate transfer credit. Credits earned by taking an examination cannot be applied toward the fulfillment of the 30 credit hour residency requirement for an Associate�s Degree. � Expiration of Earned College Credits While the College wants to honor all credit courses successfully completed at the College and most credits do not expire, some exceptions exist and these are maintained at the Office of the Registrar. � Course Prerequisites Students are required to complete all pre�requisite courses. Department Chairs, or their designee, are authorized to waive the prerequisites for a course. � Academic Freedom The Faculty Contract guarantees academic freedom to the faculty. It is described as follows: The teacher is entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing the subject, but may not claim as a right, the privilege of discussing controversial matter that has no relation to the subject. The teacher is entitled to full freedom, within the law, of inquiry and research and in the publication of the results, but not at the expense of adequate performance of other academic duties. The college teacher is a citizen, a member of a learned profession and representative of an educational institution. When speaking, writing, or acting, within the law as a citizen, the teacher shall be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but our unique Office Hours / Course Syllabi / Dean�s List/ Independent Study / Probation & Separation position in the community imposes special obligations. As persons of learning and as representatives of an educational institution, we should remember that the public might judge our profession and our institution by our utterances and our actions. Hence, we must at all times be accurate, exercise appropriate restraint, show respect for the opinion of others, and indicate that we are not speaking for our institution. Other policies also describe expectations relating to professional ethics for College employees. � Office Hours Full�time members of the faculty are required to maintain the number of office hours specified in the Agreement with the Faculty Association. Office hours should be chosen in such a way as to maximize the opportunity for advisees and others to make appointments. � Course Outlines/Syllabi Course Outlines/Syllabi are to be distributed to students and appropriate department chairs at the beginning of each semester. Each syllabus must contain the elements identified in the course syllabus template distributed by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. This template will be reviewed and revised annually in collaboration with the Academic Policy Committee. Additional departmental policies may also appear on course syllabi. � Eligibility for Dean's List All full�time students not on probation who earned a QPA of at least 3.33 the previous semester are placed on the Dean's list. Part�time students who achieve a CQPA of 3.33 or higher for each full �time equivalent semester of study completed shall be placed on the Dean's list. A full �time equivalent semester is defined as the completion of twelve credit hours of study. � Independent Study Independent study will be assigned to faculty on a voluntary basis at the recommendation of the Department Chair and approval by the AVP of the appropriate division and VPAA. Such study is defined as a one faculty member to one student educational experience. Independent study may be authorized when: A. the student needs credit for graduation, and B. the student is unable to take a course when usually offered due to extenuating circumstances. � Deadline for Class Registration The deadline for students to register for a full semester class is five business days after the beginning of the semester or its equivalent for part of term courses. Thereafter, registration requires the course Instructor and appropriate Department Chair approval. � Change of Major To change majors, students must follow the procedures outlined in the College Catalog under Change of Program. � Academic Separation and Probation Good Academic Standing Students who have achieved a CQPA of 2.0 or higher at the College are designated in good academic standing. Academic Probation Students who have achieved less than a 2.0 CQPA at the College are placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation may continue study, however, they may not enroll in more than 14 credits in fall/spring semester or 6 credits in a summer session. Academic Separation Students who have attempted 30 credits or more at the College, who have a CQPA of less than 1.5, and a QPA (semester quality point average) of less than 2.0 are separated for a period of one year. However, students who have attained a QPA of 2.0 or higher are placed on academic probation. Those students who are separated may not enroll in any credit course offered in the day, evening, weekend, or summer of any semester or session offered by the College, at any site, during this period. The above policies governing academic separation and probation apply to all students except developmental students (see Academic Policy 27.). Grades of W, I, or M are not counted as credits attempted. Pass or fail grades earned in developmental courses are not counted as units/credits attempted. Academic Appeal Procedure Students who are separated from the College may appeal the decision to the College Appeals Board, an academic review body convened by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Those students who are placed on academic probation and who desire to enroll in more than the maximum number of credits allowed may request permission from the College Appeals Board. The decision of the College Appeals Board may be appealed for final disposition to the President or his designee. Developmental Students The following policy applies to students who have placed in and have not yet completed two or more developmental courses: Fresh Start / Withdrawals / Course Audit / Developmental Courses 1. Students are in good academic standing if they pass all of their developmental courses with a grade of DVP and attain a CQPA of 2.0 or higher in their credit courses. 2. Developmental students who are placed on academic probation (less than 2.0 CQPA) or receive a DVF, W, or DVH in a developmental course will receive a letter stating that the student's records will be reviewed by the Developmental Review Board. This review board may then limit the number of credits that the student may take or stipulate specific course(s) that the student must take. � Fresh Start Policy Students will only be awarded ONE Fresh Start, ONE time during their academic career at SUNY Orange. Separation Fresh Start Policy This policy is intended to provide a �fresh start� for students with unsatisfactory grades that have been away from the College for at least one year. An eligible student will have his or her CQPA re�computed by excluding final grades earned in courses taken that are not explicitly required in the student�s intended degree or certificate program. The student must apply for this fresh start opportunity at the beginning of his/her returning semester. If the application is denied by the Registrar or his/her designee, a written appeal may be made to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Application of the fresh start policy means: A.Courses and grades will be omitted from the recalculation of a CQPA until the CQPA is 2.00 or the smallest possible number above 2.0. B. Courses and grades omitted from the re�calculation will be identified on the transcript. To be eligible for a Separation Fresh Start, a student must meet all of the following criteria: She or he must: 1. Be matriculated in a registered degree or certificate program at the College 2.

An eligible student will have his or her CQPA re�computed by excluding final grades earned in courses taken that are required by the original degree but not for his/her new program (major). The student must apply for a change of program (major) fresh start within the first three weeks of his/her second semester in the new program (major). If the application is denied by the Registrar or his/her designee, a written appeal may be made to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Application of the fresh start policy means: A.Courses and grades will be omitted from the recalculation of a CQPA until the CQPA is 2.00 or the smallest possible number above 2.0 B.

Official Withdrawal from Course(s) When a student finds it necessary to withdraw from a course(s), he or she must complete and file the Drop/Add Form with Student Services Central by the withdrawal deadline stipulated in the Academic Calendar. A student who officially withdraws from a course(s) by the end of the twelfth (12th) week or its equivalent, will receive a grade of W. After the twelfth (12th) week or its equivalent, the student will receive the grade that he or she earned in the course. Developmental Courses / Academic Calendar / Students� Rights Official Withdrawal from a Course(s) because ofa Medical Condition When students must withdraw from the College or course(s) due to their personal medical condition, they must obtain written verification from the physician and include all other required withdrawal forms. All such information given to the College is treated as confidential and privileged, as allowable by law. The student�s request for a medical withdrawal should be submitted to the Registrar before the end of the semester in which the condition occurs. The Registrar will make a decision on the request for a medical withdrawal. The student has the right to appeal this decision to the VPAA using the academic grievance procedure. Note that withdrawals approved for medical reasons do not generate an automatic refund of tuition, waiver of the physical education requirement, or waiver of financial aid requirements. If approved for a medical withdrawal, the student must still fill out a Tuition Credit Application. Medical Leave Students may be granted a medical leave if appropriate medical documentation that contains an anticipated return date is provided to the Registrar. � Audit of a Course Students may change to/from audit status in accordance with the Academic calendar. � Developmental Courses A.Completion of developmental courses and/or sequences into which a student has been placed by assessment to the College is required. B. Students must have completed all developmental courses and/or sequences into which they have been placed prior to applying for graduation. C.Students placed in developmental writing and reading and study courses must be enrolled in these courses during every semester of attendance until they receive a grade of DVP in these courses. D.Students placed in developmental math courses must complete these courses, even though there may not be a specific math requirement in their curriculum. If a student has not successfully completed these courses (MAT 010 and MAT 020 sequence) by the time they have attempted 24 non�developmental credits, the student must enroll in these courses every semester until they receive a grade of �DVP�. Grades of �DVP� must be received in these courses prior to applying for graduation. E. Students will be permitted to re�take an assessment test with the approval of the appropriate Department Chair or his/her designee (i.e., the Chair of English Department for Reading and Writing and the Chair of the Math Department for Math), or AVP of Enrollment Management, only prior to attendance in classes. F. The appropriate Department Chairs or his/her designee (i.e., English and Math) may waive placement. (Academic Policy #15 permits Department Chairs to waive prerequisites.) G.Developmental courses may be prerequisites for certain college credit courses (i.e., WRT 040 Basic Writing II is a prerequisite for ENG 101 Freshman English I and MAT 020 Developmental Algebra is a prerequisite for MAT 101 Elementary Algebra). H.Students who place into any developmental reading and/or writing courses must successfully complete all of their developmental reading and writing coursework before registering for distance learning/hybrid courses. I. This Policy applies to all students regardless of the number of developmental courses they are required to take. Students who receive a grade of �DVH� or �DVF� in a particular developmental course will be allowed to repeat that developmental course only two additional times for a total of three attempts. �Attempts� include those made in summer sessions. After a second attempt, students who do not pass a developmental course must meet with one of the Associate Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs. If students do not successfully complete a particular developmental course on the third attempt, they will be separated from the College for one year. Students may not appeal separation except if they met with an Academic AVP after the second unsuccessful attempt and provided documented extenuating circumstances. Upon return to the College following a separation, students will be granted one attempt to successfully repeat the course(s). A grade of �DVH� or �DVF� in this attempt will result in another year�s separation with no option to appeal. If a student appeals separation from the College, a Developmental Review Board is convened by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and is composed of a chair and four faculty members with at least one representative from the English Department and one representative from the Math Department. The chair of the board is the Coordinator of Learning Assistance Services or a designee. The board is assembled by the chair who selects from a list of faculty volunteers who request to serve on the Board. � Academic Calendar The academic calendar shall be such that it protects the integrity of the credit offerings, complies with contractual obligations, and accounts for state and federal mandates. Class Cancellation / Individual Exceptions to Academic Policies � Students� Rights The professor in the classroom and in conference should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. Protection of Freedom of Expression Students should be free to take reasoned exceptions to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Protection Against Improper AcademicEvaluation Students should have protection through orderly procedures against prejudiced or capricious academic evaluation. At the same time, they are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled. Protection Against Improper Disclosure Information about student views, beliefs, and political associations which professors acquire in the course of their work as instructors, advisors, and counselors should be considered confidential. Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional obligation and governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate circumstances, with the written consent of the student. � Cancellation of Classes due to Inclement Weather Only the President and the Vice President for Administration and Finance are authorized to cancel classes for the day, the evening, or both. � Reports on Educational Travel and Field Trips Procedures have been developed to support academic travel and field trips. Faculty and students are expected to adhere to the procedures for obtaining approval for academic travel and field trips. Procedures can be found through the Office of the VPAA. � Individual Exceptions to Academic Policies The Vice President for Academic Affairs is authorized to waive the application of any College academic policy in a particular case. � Official Academic Email Policy For Degree�Seeking and Non�Degree Seeking students, the College issued email account (@sunyorange.edu) is designated as the student�s official email address as it is validated by an authentication process. This will be used as the method of communication when administrative offices, academic departments and faculty need to communicate with students. Electronic communication through the use of the college�s learning management system (e.g. Angel or Blackboard) remains at the discretion of the instructor and should be communicated to the student in the course syllabus. This page intentionally left blank Registration Information and Student Records The Registrar maintains students' records, sets the academic master schedule, distributes grades and administers many of the College's academic policies.

Change of Program To move from one SUNY Orange degree program to another, a student must complete a Change of Curriculum form. The department chairperson for the new degree program must approve the change. In order for a change of curriculum to be processed for the current semester, the form must be received by the Registrar�s Office by the end of the third week of the semester. Any change of curriculum received after the third week will be effective for the subsequent term. Forms are available from Student Services Central. Conduct Expected of Students The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who exhibits conduct incompatible with the purposes of www.sunyorange.edu 37 Academic Procedures / Course Policies and Procedures the College. The SUNY Orange Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, and staff have a primary concern for the academic achievement, standards and personal integrity of our students; recognize their obligation to protect college property; and take a special interest in the mental and physical health of the college community. Committed to preserving the peace, uplifting campus morale and creating a civil climate on its campuses, SUNY Orange has adopted specific policies and procedures regarding student conduct. These policies and procedures, in the form of the Code of Student Conduct, are published in the Student Handbook. Developmental Course Placement For students who have tested into two or more developmental subjects (reading, writing or mathematics), the College has the following academic procedures in place to monitor their progress: � A Developmental Review Board is convened by the Vice President of Academic Affairs and is comprised of a chair and four faculty members with at least one representative from the English Department and one representative from the Math Department. The chair of the board is the Director of Academic Support and Testing or a designee. The board is assembled by the chair who selects from a list of faculty volunteers who request to serve on the Board. � Students who are placed on academic probation (earned less than 2.0 Cum GPA) or receive a DVF, ZDF, or DVH in a developmental course will be sent a letter stating that the student�s records have been reviewed. Based on a student�s academic progress, there may be a limit placed on the number of credits that the student may take. Students will have the option of meeting with the Developmental Review Board to discuss their circumstances and to appeal the credit limit decision. The following policy is in place for students regardless of the number of developmental courses they are required to take: � Students who receive a grade of �DVH� or �DVF� in a particular developmental course will be allowed to repeat that developmental course only two additional times for a total of three attempts. �Attempts� include those made in summer sessions. After a second attempt, students who do not pass a developmental course must meet with one of the Associate Vice Presidents for Academic Affairs. If students do not successfully complete a particular developmental course on the third attempt, they will be separated from the College for one year. Students may not appeal separation except if they met with an Academic AVP after the second unsuccessful attempt and provided documented extenuating circumstances. Upon return to the college following a separation, students will be granted one attempt to successfully repeat the course(s). A grade of �DVH� or �DVF� in this attempt will result in another year�s separation with no option to appeal. � The advisor and student will use the Placement Test results to ensure that the student takes the required courses at the appropriate level. Students must take the required reading and writing courses each semester until their developmental requirements have been successfully completed. Students who place into developmental math courses must complete these courses even though there may not be a specific math requirement for their program. As determined by Academic Departments, students must select degree credit courses from the permitted lists (See Permitted Lists in the Learning Assistance Services Section of the Catalog). � Course Policies and Procedures Prerequisites A prerequisite course is one that prepares a student for more advanced courses in an academic field. Prerequisites may be waived or substituted at the discretion of the appropriate department chair. A signed waiver form approved by the department chairperson must be filed with the Registrar�s Office. Students with credits earned at a previous institution are urged to check with the Registrar�s Office to determine appropriate course equivalencies. Note: Course prerequisites are available on�line as part of the catalog in the course descriptions area and also on�line as part of the course section search feature. A student without the appropriate prerequisites or waiver can be withdrawn from the course by the instructor or by the Registrar. Course Outline/Syllabus Course outlines and/or syllabi are distributed to students and appropriate department chairs at the beginning of each semester. Each syllabus must contain the elements identified by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Elements that may be included in a course outline/syllabus are: heading; catalog description; relationship to programs; student learning outcomes; chronology of study; grading system; types of tests; instructional materials; attendance policy; instructor withdrawal policy; support services; office location, hours and phone; campus e�mail address; religious observance; and appropriate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) information. Departments may have their own policies regarding additional information and end�of�the�semester reports. Repeating a Course Repeating a course means taking a course after having received a grade of A, A�, B+, B, B�, C+, C, C�, D+, D, D�, F, ZF, W or M in that course. When a student repeats a course, the grade and credits earned in the last attempt are calculated in the academic average, unless the grade is a �W� or �M.� All grades remain on the student�s record. Students who receive financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office before repeating a course in which a grade of D or better was earned. Course Policies and Procedures Audit of Course Students who wish to audit a course, where they do not earn credit or a grade in that course, must complete a special permission form, available at Student Services Central, when they register. Nursing courses are not subject to audit. Students may, however, change their status from audit to credit or vice versa, if they file the special permission card by the end of the third week of classes (or its equivalent for summer sessions). Instructors are not required to evaluate the work of audit students. Those students who are eligible for financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid Office before registering or changing to audit status. If audited courses are included in 12 credits of course work, a student may become ineligible for TAP and other financial aid programs. Credit Load Credit load refers to the total number of credits a student is taking in a semester. Twelve or more credits per semester is considered a full�time course load; while � to 11� credits per semester is considered part�time. Students generally may schedule their classes in the day or evening, or both, in accordance with their particular needs. However, if a student wants to take more than the maximum credit load, (19.5 or more credits in a semester, or 8.5 or more in a summer session) the appropriate associate vice president must approve. Schedule Changes and Withdrawals Student schedules will be given only to the student, who must also show proper photo identification. Should a student need to change any portion of his or her schedule, or to withdraw from the College during the semester, the following policies have been established: Official Withdrawal from the College To apply for an Official Withdrawal from the College and all of the current semester�s courses, a student must meet the deadlines published in the appropriate course schedule. The student needs to discuss a withdrawal with his or her academic advisor and begin the formal process with Student Services Central. Since the student�s financial aid and future academic record may be affected, the student must carefully follow the formal steps. The student must complete the Total Withdrawal from the College Form and the Drop/Add Form with appropriate signatures by the deadlines published in the current academic calendar. An exit interview with an Advising Office staff member is required for all degree�seeking students. Students who receive any form of financial aid are required to obtain a financial aid officer�s signature. Part�time, non�degree�seeking students should complete and file their forms with Student Services Central. Medical Withdrawal A student may withdraw from all semester courses for medical reasons. For the medical withdrawal process, contact the Wellness Center. When a student must withdraw from the College or courses due to personal medical reasons, he or she should obtain written verification from the physician and include it with all other required forms. The physician�s statement should list the dates of the condition and provide a general description of the student�s state of health and its effect on the student�s ability to attend classes. All such information maintained by the college is treated as confidential. The student's request for medical withdrawal and appropriate forms should be submitted to the Wellness Center before the end of the semester in which the illness occurs. If a third party is acting on behalf of the student at any point during the Medical Withdrawal process they are required to have a signed letter from the student giving them permission and show picture ID at time of service. This is in adherence with the College�s Red Flag Policy. Withdrawals approved for medical reasons do not generate an automatic refund of tuition, waiver of the physical education requirement, nor waiver of financial aid requirements. Students should fill out and submit a Request for Tuition Credit Appeal form as well as consult with the appropriate offices concerning these items. Withdrawal from a Non�Developmental Course A student may withdraw from a non�developmental course by following the deadlines posted in the registration calendar (see current course schedule), completing the appropriate forms available and obtaining the advisor�s signature. Withdrawal from a Developmental Course To withdraw from a developmental course, but not any others that semester, a student must obtain the permission of the appropriate instructor and the Director of Academic Support and Testing (or his/her designee), the advisor and the instructor. Absence from class is not a sufficient reason when seeking permission to withdraw from a required developmental course. However, if a student voluntarily enrolled, but had not placed into the course, he or she may withdraw with the signature of the advisor. Students who are required to enroll in developmental courses must remain in them until they successfully complete them by the deadlines established in academic policy (see Developmental Education Program section in this catalog). Impact Upon Financial Aid Awards Students who receive financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office since current or future aid may be affected by such actions as: � withdrawal (medical or voluntary) from either a single course or from all courses. � repeating a course in which a grade of D or better was earned. � Grades and Grading Grades and Grading Grades, Quality Points and Cumulative GPA SUNYOrangeusesafour�pointgradingsystem,based onlettergradesofA,B,C,DandF.Eachgradeis assignedanumericvalue: A=4.00 A�=3.67 B+=3.33 B=3.00 B�=2.67 C+=2.33 C=2.00 C�=1.67 D+=1.33 D=1.00 D�=.67 F=0 ZF=0(failurestoppedattending) Tocalculatequalitypoints,multiplythenumberofcredits ofacoursebythenumericvalueofthegradeearned.For example:AnA(4qualitypoints)inFreshmanEnglish1(3 credits)produces12qualitypoints(4x3=12)andaC�(1.67qualitypoints)inCalculus1(4credits)produces6.68 qualitypoints(1.67x4=6.68).

Theonlystudentseligibletofollowapre�Fall2006catalog Final Exam Schedules / Graduation / Transfer Credits year are non�Health Professions students who have been in continuous attendance since prior to Fall 2006. � Final Examination Schedules Final examinations are not required in all courses. During the Fall and Spring semester, for the mandatory 15th week, a special schedule is developed for all day classes. Final examinations will not necessarily be held on the same day or at the same time, during the Fall/Spring semesters, as the regularly scheduled course. The special schedule for final examinations of day classes is developed and distributed by the Registrar at the 10th week of the semester. Examinations for evening classes during the Fall and Spring semesters are usually held during the last week, on the same day of the week and at the same time as the regularly scheduled course. See the academic calendar for the dates of the final examination period. � Graduation Graduation Application Graduation and participation in the commencement ceremony are not automatic. Students must initiate the process themselves. The Graduation Application Form must be filed with Student Services Central and the graduation fee paid upon submission. Before students can be cleared for graduation, they must return all college property loaned to them and pay any monies or outstanding obligations owed to any office of the College. Those intending to graduate in May must file for graduation during February and March prior to May graduation. Students who complete their graduation requirements at the end of the fall semester are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony the following May. See the academic calendar for filing deadlines. August Graduates who meet certain criteria are able to participate in the May Graduation Ceremony provided you: � Self Identify at time of applying in February or March � Are in good Academic Standing (2.00 CQPA or higher) � Have no more than 6 credits remaining; or 2 courses that do not exceed 8 credits to graduate in August Waiver or Substitution of Graduation Requirement Students who seek a waiver or substitution of a graduation course requirement should first discuss that request with the program department chairperson. Approval from the course department chairperson (if different from the program department chairperson) would also need to be obtained. Final approval is determined by the appropriate associate vice president. Waiver of Physical Education For HealthReasons Students seeking a waiver of physical education as a graduation requirement because of a physical limitation must follow this procedure: � Obtain a Physical Education Waiver Request form from the office of the appropriate associate vice president. � Give the Physical Education Waiver Request form to their physician (He or she must read it before sending a letter requesting a physical education waiver). � Have your physician write a letter using his or her letterhead and following the instructions on the Physical Education Waiver Request form. � Return the physician's letter to the office of the appropriate associate vice president. Note: Even though a physical education activity waiver is granted, students will still be required to take the one credit Concepts of Physical Wellness course, which is a lecture course and not an activity course if required for their program of study. This applies to all students, regardless of when they were admitted to the College. Students with long�term disabilities should make application for physical education waivers during their first semester at the College. Residence In order to qualify for an associate degree, at least 30 credit hours must be earned while attending SUNY Orange. Beginning with the Fall 2009 semester, if the student is enrolled in a Newburgh branch campus program, at least half of the credits earned at the College must have been taken at the Newburgh campus. � Transfer Credits and the Transfer Application Process Transfer Credit From Other Colleges In general, no more than 30 semester hours of credit are acceptable for students transferring to SUNY Orange from another college or university. Only courses in which the student has received a grade of at least �C� will be considered. Credit will be evaluated for course work completed more than 10 years ago on an individual basis. Only those credits which apply to the student's area of academic interest will be considered. Awarding of transfer credit is done in writing. Upon receipt of the written evaluation, the student may schedule an appointment with the Registrar if he/she has questions or wishes to appeal the evaluation. If the student is not satisfied with the Registrar's decision, they may appeal to the appropriate Department Chair within 10 business days after the Registrar's appeal decision is made. If the student wishes to appeal a Department Chair's decision, they may do so to the appropriate Associate Academic Vice President within 10 business days of being informed of the chair's appeal decision. The decision of the appropriate Academic Associate Vice President is final. In addition to the above, SUNY has established policies to guarantee the transfer of credits for general education courses and courses taken in the first two years in the most Transfer Credits / Transfer Application Process frequently transferred majors. These policies guarantee that general education credits and credits in the primary courses in the most popular disciplines transfer throughout the system. If a student does not agree with a SUNY College's decision on the granting or placement of credit earned at a prior SUNY institution, they have the right to submit an appeal to SUNY Orange's transfer campus representative which is the Vice President of Academic Affairs or their designee. The student should be prepared to provide reasonable material to support their case, such as the course description or syllabus in question. The campus transfer representative will explain the process and let the student know exactly what materials are needed. Once all of the required information is received, the expectation is that the transfer appeal representative will provide the student with a written response within 15 business days. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the representative will notify the student, the chairperson and/or program coordinator, and will see that the change is made to the student's record. If the decision is unchanged, or the student has not received a response within 15 business days, the student may take their appeal to the SUNY System Provost by submitting the Student Transfer Appeal Form along with requested materials. The SUNY Provost will respond to the student's appeal within five business days from receipt of the completed appeal application. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the receiving institution will be notified to take appropriate action. Remember, this additional appeal process is only available when a student challenges SUNY Orange's decision not to accept credit earned at another SUNY institution. Note: If you receive a waiver of your placement testing based on work completed at other schools, this does NOT guarantee that you will receive transfer credit. Courses and credits, but not grades, are accepted. A student�s CumGPA at SUNY Orange is calculated based upon course work at SUNY Orange only. Transfer credits from other institutions do not affect the CumGPA. If a student has a passing grade in a course at SUNY Orange, an equivalent course will not be accepted from another institution. If a course is failed at SUNY Orange, an equivalent transferred course may be accepted, but the failing grade will still appear on the student�s transcript and will be calculated in the student�s CumGPA. No grades are ever eliminated from a student transcript. Active duty military personnel may receive up to 45 credits and veterans up to 30 credits for courses and military occupational specialties if those courses or specialties are directly applicable to an area of academic interest at SUNY Orange. Students who have completed basic training in the U.S. armed forces may receive credit for both PES 100 and the one credit of physical activity requirement if required for their program of study. For more information, call the Veteran�s Representative at (845) 341�4071. Credit by SUNY Orange Examination Students� life experiences may qualify them to take examinations and earn college credit in certain course offerings. To pursue this option, students are encouraged to check with appropriate department chairpersons. SUNY Orange may also award transfer credit for certain Excelsior College exams (formerly Regents College), certain AP (Advanced Placement) and CLEP (College Level Experience Program) exams, and certain non�college�sponsored training programs, as evaluated by the American Council on Education. Transcript Requests Official Transcripts contain a record of all courses, grades and degrees received at SUNY Orange. Transcripts are sent to other parties such as colleges, prospective employers, or government agencies at the request of the student and payment of the required fee. NOTE: Transcripts will not be released if there is a hold on the student account. Online Transcript Ordering: SUNY Orange is pleased to offer students and alumni the convenience of requesting and paying for Official Transcripts via the National Student Clearinghouse by going to www.getmytranscript.com Upon written request and following payment of appropriate fees, students may have transcripts sent to other parties such as colleges, prospective employers or government agencies. Transcripts are mailed within a week of the request, in order of receipt, except for peak periods at the beginning and end of each semester. At those times, volume may require two or three weeks for processing. Transcripts should be requested well in advance of the required receipt date. Requests must be signed by the student, authorizing release of transcripts, and include the transcript fee of $8 per copy. Please be advised that institutions and agencies requesting transcripts will not consider them official unless mailed directly from SUNY Orange or hand�delivered in a sealed envelope marked �unofficial if seal is broken.� Only the student (with appropriate photo identification) may pick up his or her transcript, unless he or she has given written permission to a designee, with a verified signature. The designee should also provide photo identification. Policy for Transcript Notations for Crimes ofViolence For crimes of violence, including, but not limited to sexual violence, defined as crimes that meet the reporting requirements pursuant to the federal Clery Act, SUNY Orange shall make a notation on the transcript of any student found responsible after a conduct process that they were �suspended after a finding of responsibility for a code of conduct violation� or �expelled after a finding of responsibility for a code of conduct violation.� Student Records For the respondent who withdraws from the institution while such conduct charges are pending, and declines to complete the disciplinary process, SUNY Orange shall make a notation on the transcript that the student �withdrew with conduct charges pending.� Students may appeal seeking removal of the transcript notation for a suspension through written request to the Vice President for Student Services. The notation shall not be removed prior to one year after the conclusion of the suspension. Notations for expulsion may not be appealed and will not be removed. If a finding of responsibility is vacated for any reason, any such transcript notation will be removed. Transfer to Four�Year Colleges If students earn an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science degree from a two�year institution, State University of New York guarantees a place for them as a full�time student at a senior college campus�but not necessarily the one of their first choice. The application deadline is March 1 for Fall semester transfer and Oct. 1 for Spring transfer. All other applications, excluding the guaranteed program, can be sent after this deadline. SUNY application forms are available at the Academic Advising Office. If students plan to transfer, they should take advantage of SUNY Orange transfer days and visitations by four�year college transfer representatives. � Student Records Certifications of Enrollment/Attendance or Certifications of Full�Time/Part�Time Status Enrollment Certification of Full�Time/Part Time status are available through the National Student Clearinghouse Self�Service Program. Students are securely and seamlessly brought to the Clearinghouse Self�Service site by signing into MySunyOrange. Advanced Registration Certificates, Current Enrollment Certificates and Past Enrollment Certificates will be available for students to print. To certify enrollment, tuition and fees must be paid and all stop/ holds must be cleared from the student's records. Student Records/Confidentiality All student records are maintained and made available in accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and PrivacyAct(FERPA)of 1974.Withsomeexceptions,allstudent records are available for review upon request by that student, and the right to challenge the content is provided. The College may disclose directory information without the written consent of the student. Directory information includes name, semesters enrolled and the dates of those semesters, field of study, degrees, honors and awards conferred. Addresses are only released to governmental officials who wish to send congratulatory notices to our graduates and to third party institutions with whom the college has articulation agreements for our graduates such as Franklin University. Additional biographical information will also be released to military recruiters as allowed under the Solomon Act. Students can request that their personal directory information be suppressed by submitting formal written request to the Records and Registration Office. However, please be aware that oncedirectory information is suppressedenrollmentverifications for insurance companies, student loans, and prospective employers will not be given this information without the student�s written permission which could have delays that may impact the student. No non�directory information records are released to third persons except as provided in the Act. Further information is available from the Records and Registration Office or in the SUNY Orange Student Handbook. Notification of Student Rights under FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are: � The right to inspect and review the student�s education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar or Vice President for Student Services written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. A College official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. � The right to request the amendment of the student�s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the College to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. � The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student�s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another Student Rights and Responsibilities school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the College will disclose education records without consent to officials of another school which a student seeks or intends to enroll (barring any indebtedness to this College). � The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with FERPA requirements: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202�4605. Directory Information Directory information is personally�identifiable student information which the U.S. Department of Education has concluded is permissible for institutions to release without a student's consent. Orange County Community College has identified the following as Directory Information: � Name � Current enrollment status (full�time or part�time) � Semesters enrolled � Field of study or Program � Degrees, honors, and awards/scholarships conferred � Prior institution attended � Heights and weights of our college athletes � Addresses (but only of our graduates and only to governmental officials who wish to send congratulatory notices or to four�year educational institutions with whom the college has specific articulation agreements that will allow these students to continue to attend SUNY Orange while working toward a four year degree (e.g., Franklin University). Note: Oncean institution identifies Directory Information, the institution may release thatinformation withoutstudent consent, but is not required to do so. The best example of this is addresses, where we may release that information but as an institutional practice we only do so in the specific examples given. Studentsmayoptoutof publicdisclosureof eventhedirectory information above by requesting what is known as a "FERPA Block."ThestudentdoessobycompletingtheFERPADirectory Information Block Request Form available on our website at www.sunyorange.edu/academic_services/ferpa.shtml A student interested in obtaining a FERPA Directory InformationBlockshouldbe awarethatunlike otherinstitutions, we do not include address and phone number as directory information and that a substantial consequence of requesting a FERPA Block is, unless another exception under FERPA permits disclosure, an active FERPA Block will prevent SUNY Orange from disclosing that the student once attended and received a degree or is currently enrolled at the college pursuing a particular degree. StudentswhoafterhavingtheFERPADirectoryBlockplaced on their record wish to remove the block must complete the FERPA Directory Information Block Removal Form also available at the same website. www.sunyorange.edu Consent Forms for Release of Non�DirectoryInformation A student�s signed written consent must specify the records to release/inspect, state the purpose of the disclosure and identify the person(s) to whom the disclosure should be made. A new consent form would be required each academic year or when access to additional educational records not covered in the previous consent form on file are being requested. If the consent form does not specify the actual educational records to be inspected or simply states something equivalent to �all educational records�, the only records that will be disclosed are those that appear on the most current academic transcript. According to FERPA regulations, an institution has up to 45 days after receipt of a valid consent form to arrange for the inspection/disclosure of the specified educational records. Personal inspections of the requested educational records in the majority of cases will be made with the Registrar, who also acts as the FERPA officer for the institution, and not necessarily with individual faculty members. In the case of a so�ordered subpoena, issued by a judge, consent from the student is not required for disclosure of non�directory information. However, unless the subpoena specifically states that contact with the student is forbidden, the institution will not respond to said subpoena for 72 business hours and in that timeframe will attempt to contact the student to inform them that a subpoena was received, who issued the subpoena, and what records will be disclosed. Parents� Rights Message to Parents: SUNY Orange is guided by the principle that students� active involvement in their education enhances their learning and development. In keeping with this principle, SUNY Orange considers its primary relationship to be with its students. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act has provided two ways in which parents/guardians of dependent students may inspect the educational records of the student. The first is to obtain a signed written consent from the student and submit consent to the Registrar. If the student is unwilling to provide a signed written consent, the final alternative is for the parents/guardians to provide the Registrar with a copy of the preceding year�s tax returns to demonstrate the student is a tax dependent. The copy provided must have either been completed by a third party (accountant, tax preparer, etc.) or be an official full complete copy (not the shortened version) from the Internal Revenue Service. Information on how to obtain this version can be found by contacting the IRS Office at (800) 829�1040. When the documentation is submitted, the parents/guardians must also specify the records to be inspected. If the request simply states something equivalent to �all educational records,� the only educational records that will be disclosed are those that appear on the most current academic transcript. � Student Rights and Responsibilities Conduct Expected of Students 2017�2018 Academic Grievance Procedure See the Code of Student Conduct published in the Student Handbook. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who conducts himself or herself in a manner incompatible with the purposes of the College. Academic Separation, Probation and Appeals Please see Grades and Grading. � Academic Grievance Procedure Purpose of the Procedures: The purpose of the Student Academic Grievance Procedure is to encourage the informal resolution of academic issues that might surface between students and faculty in a manner that is timely and upholds standards of academic integrity. In the event that students and faculty are unable to resolve an academic issue, the formal stage provides additional fair and equitable procedures for students. Students should understand that each stage of the process is an important one; therefore, it is not possible to move through the process unless previous stages have been followed. The procedure must be utilized by all students regardless of the location at which the grievance has arisen or the mode of delivery for the course. Procedures: A student having a concern of an academic nature with a faculty member arising from participation in a credit class should follow the procedure outlined below. Such concerns could include the belief that his/her grade(s) is not consistent with the grade criteria designated by the course instructor/syllabus. Should the grievance reach the formal stage the student has the right to seek the assistance of an unbiased third party, which includes the student�s academic advisor or an individual from a pool of trained volunteers.

Learning Resources � Learning Resources Library Library Services are provided on both the Middletown and Newburgh campuses. Designed to be welcoming places, each Library contains a mixture of comfortable seating, designated quiet areas, and a variety of study spaces that include carrels for individual study and tables for group work. The Information Commons spaces are busy, centrally located areas, where students can access a range of academic and technology resources carefully selected to support their learning and research. Within the Commons, the Libraries provide traditional research tools, databases and reference materials, Microsoft Office software, and both wired and wireless internet access. The electronic databases provide full�text and full�image journals, magazines and newspapers. Help Desks located adjacent to the Commons are staffed by librarians and support staff to assist students with their research needs. Workshops and Instruction sessions designed to help students acquire and improve library research skills are held in the Commons classrooms. A schedule of workshops is available online and within the Library. The student�s college identification card serves as a library card and is required to borrow books, videos, and reserve readings; to utilize the computers in the Information Commons; and to access the databases from off�campus. The Library web site (http://sunyorange.edu/lrc) contains detailed information regarding library services, hours, and policies, and includes instructional guides that are designed to assist students with their research needs. For questions or reference assistance, students may call Middletown 341�4855 or Newburgh 341�9020. Academic Support Center/Tutoring Paired appointments with a tutor and tutor led group sessions are arranged in the Learning Centers located on the second floor of the Library in Middletown or in Kaplan Hall Room 220 on the Newburgh campus. A weekly appointment schedule is set and regular attendance is required. For these scheduled academic support options, a student must complete an application for academic support. Tutors also staff academic department labs on campus to assist students on a drop�in or weekly sign�up basis. Biology and Health Science Learning Facilities The BATCAVERN (Biology Allied Techology Center for Audio, Visual Education RN) facilities are a learning resource for Students in the Biological Sciences and the Health Professions Programs. It is a place for students to meet for individual and small group study as well as for formal tutoring, which can be arranged at the Tutorial Center in the Library on the Middletown campus or in Kaplan Hall, Room 230 on the Newburgh campus. The BATCAVERN facilities offer students access to a full range of anatomical models and related instructional aids including CD�ROMs, Videotapes, and review materials. Students can also access the internet and use computers offering the Microsoft Office programs Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to assist with preparing lab reports, research papers and presentations. MiddletownCampus NewburghCampus BATCAVERN BATCAVERN II RCSE Room 306 Kaplan Hall Room 230 341�4156 341�9504 Mathematics Tutorial Labs The Mathematics Department has two Math Tutorial Labs which are open to any student enrolled in a mathematics course through SUNY Orange. The Math Tutorial Labs are staffed by professional and peer tutors who are more than happy to help students in need. Members of the Mathematics Department full�time faculty also make themselves available at times. Math lab tutors can help clarify topics and concepts that students may be struggling with, and help students prepare for quizzes and exams. The Math Tutorial Room hours are posted at the labs each semester and are also available at the Mathematics Department webpage. Math Tutorial Labs are located on the Middletown Campus in Harriman Hall Room 309, and on the Newburgh Campus in Kaplan Hall Room 229. No appointment is necessary. Education Curriculum Resource Area The Education Curriculum Resource Area is located on the second floor of the Library. It houses children�s fiction and non�fiction titles, including many Caldecott and Newbery award winners, professional periodicals, teacher resource books, textbooks, and other print resources for student use. Learning Resources English Department Writing Centers The English Department Writing Centers serve all students who need to work on writing skills. Students may sign up for writing practice or be referred by their instructors. Some courses also require mandatory weekly hours in the Writing Center. The center operates on the philosophy that students learn to write by writing. Skills instruction is done in the context of the student�s own work, generated in the center. Using instructor�created materials, students work individually with English Department instructors and tutors. Computers accommodate various learning styles. Day and evening Writing Center hours are posted each semester. Writing Centers are located in Middletown (Bio�Tech 360) and Newburgh (Kaplan Hall, Room 225). The Writing Consultancy Project SUNY Orange�s Writing Consultancy Project�s goal is to help students master their occupational, professional and academic writing and to promote writing across the academic disciplines. Sponsored by the English Department, the project provides writing consultants to specific academic departments and career programs. The consultant works with both the instructor and the students in applying and transferring key writing skills learned in Freshman English I to their content�specific and/or professional writing situations. These consultants may directly teach or review with students through technical writing modules, special workshops, individualized conferences and instructor referrals. Students are given access to a computer�equipped classroom/lab facility (Writing Consultancy Resource Center and Technical Writing Lab, Bio�Tech 260) where much of the individualized instruction takes place. This facility is the site for required course�related work and for drop�in use by students whose instructors have requested assistance from the Writing Consultancy. Currently, students enrolled in Technical Writing Modules in Human Services and Occupational Therapy Assistant programs earn academic credit for these modules. The Writing Consultancy also offers instructional service to other programs and departments such as nursing, biology, criminal justice, accounting, dental hygiene, history, and anatomy and physiology. The Consultancy Project was selected as a College Occupational Education Program in New York State. It is also featured in the Jossey�Bass publication, �Writing Across the Curriculum in Two Year Vocational/Career Programs: New Directions for Community Colleges.� English as a Second Language For incoming students whose first language is not English and who demonstrate the need to improve their English, the College offers these courses: WRT 020, English as a Second Language; RDG 060, ESL Reading. RDG 060 requires attendance in RDG 061, a once�a�week support module. Through the formal placement process, students may be required to take WRT 020 and/or RDG 060 before attempting later college�level study, but students may also take the course as an elective. Working closely with the English Department, students are immersed in reading writing, speaking and listening activities. Academic Programs Registered Programs The programs offered are registered by the State Education Department and State University of New York. Enrollment in other than a registered program may jeopardize a student's eligibility for financial aid.* * New York State Education Department, Office of Higher Education and the Professions, Cultural Education Center, Room 5B28, Albany, New York 12230 (518) 474�5851 Registered Programs Award Hegis # Page # Accounting AS 5002 64�65 Accounting AAS 5002 66�67 Accounting Procedures Cert. 5002 68�69 Architectural Technology AAS 5317 70�71 Business Administration AS 5004 72�73 Business Management AAS 5004 74�75 Clerical Office Assistant Cert. 5005 76�77 Computer Information Technology (CIT)�Networking AAS 5101 78�79 Computer Science AS 5101 80�81 Criminal Justice AS 5505 82�83 Criminal Justice�Police AAS 5505 84�85 Cyber Security AAS 5199 86�87 Dental Hygiene AAS 5203 88�89 Early Childhood Development & Care AAS 5503 90�91 Early Childhood Development & Care Cert. 5003 92�93 Engineering Science AS 5609 94�95 Exercise Studies AS 5299.30 96�97 Fire Protection Technology AAS 5507 98�99 Green Building Maintenance and Management AAS 5317.00 100�101 Honors Program 102�103 Human Services AS 5501 104�105 International Studies AA 5622 106�107 Jointly Registered Teacher Education Program (JRTEP) AA/AS 5649 108�113 Law Enforcement/Security Cert. 5505 114�115 Liberal Arts: Humanities & Social Science AA 5649 116�117 Liberal Arts: Individual Studies AS 5699 118�119 Liberal Arts & Sciences/Mathematics & Natural Science AS 5649 120�121 Marketing AAS 5004 122�123 Medical Laboratory Technician AAS 5205 124�125 Medical Office Assistant AAS 5005 126�127 New Media AAS 5012 128�129 Nursing AAS 5208.10 130�133 Occupational Therapy Assistant AAS 5210 134�135 Office Technologies AAS 5005 136�137 Performing Arts: Music AAS 5610 138�139 Physical Therapist Assistant AAS 5219 140�141 Public Health AS 5299 142�143 Radiologic Technology AAS 5207 144�145 Teaching Assistant Cert. 5101 146�147 Visual Communications Technology: Graphic Arts/Printing AAS 0590 148�149 SUNY General Education Course Listing 150�151 Guide for Social Science Requirement 152 Non�SUNY Elective Categories 153 This page intentionally left blank Degrees / General Degree Requirements Associate Degrees Orange County Community College operates under the supervision of the State University of New York and is authorized by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York to award three degrees�the Associate in Arts (A.A.), the Associate in Science (A.S.), and the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.).

Sudents learn the accounting cycle including preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Special projects teach analytical skills through finding, extracting and evaluating financial information to make sound decisions. Students use Excel extensively to solve a variety of accounting problems. The Financial Accounting Research System (FARS) database is introduced so that students can learn to research complex accounting issues, thus preparing them for both the CPA exam and professional practice as an accountant. Students may also complete an internship course which gives them the opportunity to build their resume and earn college credits. Students entering the workforce after completing a baccalaureate degree in accounting benefit from a strong demand for accountants. Employment opportunities include positions in public accounting firms, private and public companies, government and not�for�profit agencies. Most will achieve the professional Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation and many pursue graduate degrees. Admission Criteria Admission to this program requires that students be high school graduates or have high school equivalency diplomas (HSEs). If students are not high school graduates, they may be eligible for admission to the College�s 24 Credit Hour Program. If students are home schooled, they may be eligible for admission. (See pages 7 through 13 for more details on the admission process for all applicants.) Developmental courses should be completed before students attempt the courses in this program. Since College Algebra and Trigonometry are required sequences, students placing into lower levels are required to complete these prior to attempting College Algebra and Trigonometry. Students entering this A.S. program should have successfully completed three or more years of college preparatory math and have an overall high school average of 75 or above. This degree has been approved by ACBSP and SUNY NYS Education Department for online distance learning delivery. This does not mean that SUNY Orange offers every course in the program online; however, many are offered in this format. Please check the current credit course schedule for online DL virtual course listings offered each semester.

While other opportunities exist, the largest job opportunities are positions as interns / CAD operators for architectural firms. Graduates� skills will prepare them to produce working drawings in a variety of settings, such as engineering firms or manufacturers. If graduates have field experience in a building trade, all program outcomes are directly transferable to entry�level positions in construction management and supervision. A broad cross�section of course content is covered in the program; this familiarizes students with many aspects of the architectural profession, the work of building professionals and the construction process. When working under the supervision of a licensed professional (i.e. Registered Architect, Professional Engineer, etc.), a graduate�s primary responsibilities would include measuring and documenting existing conditions of buildings and sites, preparing construction documents, interpreting construction documents, preparing design presentations for clients or other audiences, and coordinating architectural drawings with consultants� drawings. Fluency with computer�aided drawing (AutoCAD) and computer literacy, as it applies to generating architectural drawings, are fundamental skills graduates will possess. Meanwhile, freehand sketching is stressed wherever possible as a valuable communication method. Beyond preparing construction drawings, students will build models, prepare reports and orally present their work to groups. Most courses in the program are a combination of lecture and lab. In the lecture component, foundational material is presented, often accompanied by samples, examples or other visual cues. In the lab component, students will either work on short�term exercises designed to hone very specific knowledge bases or skills or they will work on long�term projects designed to simulate the types of projects that they will eventually encounter in the workforce. Students should be prepared to spend a significant amount of time on projects outside the classroom. Many students who enter this degree program plan to transfer to an upper division institution. Because these opportunities exist, second year students who intend to transfer should select their courses in careful consultation with their academic advisor. Portfolio production will be required. For those students wishing to become Registered Architects, New York State Department of Education guidelines must be followed. To become a Registered Architect, one must earn an NAAB�accredited Bachelor of Architecture or Master of Architecture degree, fulfill NCARB internship requirements (a proscribed three year apprenticeship), and pass a challenging and comprehensive licensing examination. Architectural Technology Degree Awarded: Associate in Applied Science For those students wishing to pursue baccalaureate degrees in Landscape Architecture and Construction Management, an A.S. degree from SUNY Orange with electives from the Architectural Technology degree program may be most suitable. Course selection should be made carefully in consultation with academic advisors. Admission Criteria Admission to this program requires that students be high school graduates or have high school equivalency diplomas (HSEs). If students are not high school graduates, they may be eligible for admission to the College�s 24 Credit Hour Program. If students are home schooled, they may be eligible for admission. (See pages 7 through 13 for more details on the admission process for all applicants.) Maintenance of a C average or better in courses in the major is also required. Program Learning Outcomes Students will: � Graphically communicate architectural forms and building assemblies, both two and three dimensionally � Demonstrate fluency using digital graphics software packages to produce construction drawings and other architectural representations � Solve architectural problems through the development of an aesthetic approach and the manipulation of form and space � Demonstrate an understanding of building materials and methods � Demonstrate an understanding of the coordination within a building project between architecture and related professions � Demonstrate an understanding of basic life safety and regulatory requirements in building projects � Demonstrate an understanding of fundamental structural principles � Utilize research from web based and other sources in architectural projects � Identify basic methods of sustainable building practices and their environmental impacts � Demonstrate an understanding of the historical and social context of western architecture Career Opportunities � architectural firms � engineering firms � manufacturing firms � construction firms � governmental agencies � utility companies Transfer Opportunities While the A.A.S. degree leads to immediate employ�ment, SUNY Orange students have successfully transferred to: � Alfred State College � New York Institute of Technology � New Jersey Institute of Technology � Pratt Institute � SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry Contact Information Science,Engineering and Architecture Department Chair (845) 341�4571 Admissions Office (845) 341�4030 Business Administration Degree Awarded: Associate in Science Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) 7007 College Boulevard, Suite 420, Overland Park, KS, 66211 Recommended Course Sequence First Semester Credits ENG 101 Freshman English 1 3 BUS 161 Computer Applications for Business***** 3 MAT ___ Selected Math Courses* 3 MKT 101 Principles of Marketing 3 ACC 153 Financial Accounting 4 OFT 106 Keyboarding*** 1 Second Semester ENG 102 Freshman English 2 3 ________ Restricted SUNY Elective** 3 MAT ___ Selected Math Courses* 3 ACC 154 Managerial Accounting 4 MGT 201 Principles of Management 3 Third Semester ECO 201 Macro�Economics 3 _______ SUNY Natural Science (GE 2) 3 BUS 205 Business Statistics 3 BUS 201 Business Law 1 3 MGT 205 Human Resource Management 3 Fourth Semester ECO 202 Micro�Economics 3 BUS 203 Business Communications 3 ________ Restricted SUNY Elective**** 3 BUS 207 International Business 3 BUS 202 Business Law 2 3 Total Credits: 63 * Select one of the following pairs of courses: MAT 121 and MAT 122 (minimum requirement); or MAT 122 and MAT 205; or MAT 131 and MAT 205, or MAT 205 and MAT 206. **SUNY American History (GE 4), Western Civilization (GE 5) or Other/World Civilization (GE 6) or Arts (GE 8) or Foreign Language (GE 9)lists. ***Students with sufficient keyboarding ability who pass the keyboarding waiver exam will fulfill this requirement; they do not need to replace the 1 credit. ****Select from list not chosen in Second Semester Restricted SUNY Elective list above. *****formerly CIT 101 Microcomputer Applications Program Description The Associate in Science degree program in Business Administration has been designed for those students who plan to transfer and continue their business education at a four�year college.

Program Description The mission of the SUNY Orange Department of Criminal Justice is to provide qualitative educational programs in the areas of Law, Justice, Corrections and Law Enforcement. Through this programming, our students develop skills and knowledge that prepares them to continue their education and/or to pursue entry level careers in the field of criminal justice. The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S) degree program in Criminal Justice�Police is aimed at students who do not anticipate continuing their studies at a four�year institution because they envision themselves entering the workforce directly upon graduating. As a result, the A.A.S. degree does not have the same math or science requirements as the A.S. degree, though many of the other required courses in the A.A.S. degree are identical to those required by the A.S. degree. The A.A.S. provides students with the college credits often required by many local, state and federal criminal justice agencies so it is intended to prepare students for entry level positions in law enforcement, security, law, probation, parole, juvenile justice and investigations. All instructors, in addition to their advanced educational backgrounds, are experienced practitioners in their fields. Admission Criteria Admission to these programs requires that students be high school graduates or have high school equivalency diplomas (HSEs). If students are not high school graduates they may be eligible for admission to the college�s 24 credit hour program. If students are home schooled, they may be eligible for admission.

This process includes providing a history of possible existing criminal convictions and/or professional misconduct. Criteria for determination of good moral character varies from state to state, therefore, completion of the program does not guarantee acceptance by that state�s regulatory entity to become certified or licensed. Program Description The Associate in Applied Science degree program in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) is designed to provide students with both the academic knowledge and clinical skills to become certified/licensed PTAs. The field of Physical Therapy is demanding. Graduates are required to meet all program requirements which are guided by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education. Many states, including New York, also require that students pass the national licensing examination as part of the certification/licensure process. The PTA works with, and under the direction and supervision of the physical therapist who plans the patient care program; the PTA then helps to carry out this program. Duties of the PTA include monitoring of vital signs, lifting of patients and equipment, training of patients in therapeutic exercises and activities of daily living, wound care, use of whirlpool and electrical stimulation during treatment procedures, application of heat and cold modalities, patient and family education, wheelchair activities, use of walkers and crutches, assisting the physical therapist in performing patient assessments and complex treatment procedures. The PTA also monitors the patient�s responses to treatment, documents relevant aspects of patient care and maintains ongoing communication with the patient, family, supervising physical therapist and other health care professionals. The primary focus of the curriculum is to develop a strong clinician who possesses critical thinking and problem�solving skills. To accomplish this, the program provides the clinical training as well as a broad general education background. Courses include both core classes and non�core classes (general education courses). The core Physical Therapist Assistant courses are offered once each year beginning in the fall semester. All program requirements must be completed within six consecutive semesters from the time of enrollment in the first PTA course. These courses must be taken in the sequence in which they are offered. The curriculum includes classroom instruction, laboratory time and clinical experiences. However, general education courses may be taken on a part�time basis during the day or evening, and may be completed over a longer period of time than the four semesters. But they must be completed no later than the semester in which they fall into sequence with the core courses. A minimum grade of C is required in all PTA courses and a minimum grade of C is required in each of the following courses: Anatomy and Physiology 1, Anatomy and Physiology 2, and Basic Exercise Physiology.

SAMPLE HONORS SEMINAR TOPICS: 1900: The End and the Beginning�This seminar explores the architecture, music, philosophy and science that became �modern� in fin�de�siecle Europe and America. Emphasis is on how the makers of modern culture faced the challenges in finding function and meaning in their world at the turn of their century. 1968 Explosions�Social, Military, Literary�This seminar examines many of the significant social, political, and historical events of the year 1968, including media, art and pop culture. Section One focuses on the social and political upheaval of the time, paying particular attention to the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy and the emergence of pop culture. Section Two focuses on events in the Vietnam War. Section Three discusses some of the important books of the year. "And, but, so": Post�Modern America�The term "postmodernism" is a time reference (after modernism) and catch�all referring to the architectural, artistic, literary, and philosophical changes in specifically American culture since the end of WWII. Hallmarks include lack of a singular, universal Truth and a resistance to binary structures, such as male/female, rich/poor, straight/gay, black/white, acknowledging possible overlaps and outliers. In the 21St century, acknowledging that the reality of "grey" areas is vital. This seminar looks at the artistic moves to multi�genre representation, introduces postmodernism through the arts, and applies those ideas to a greater, more general societal landscape. American Gangsters�This seminar explores the impact of lawlessness in American history. Beginning in the American West in the post�Civil War Era (post�bellum era) with the lives of men like Billy the Kid and the Dalton Gang, as they struggled to readjust to life without war and spiraled into bank robbing, it continues into the early 20th century, examining the rise of organized crime in the era of World War I and Prohibition. Men like George "Bugs" Moran, Alfonse "Al" Capone and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel transformed cities like New York, Chicago and Las Vegas. The seminar explores the sociological, physiological and historical aspects of how these individuals transformed into criminal lifestyles and their overall impact on American history. Honors Ancient Aliens & Alternative Archeologies�This seminar will explore some of the more fantastic explanations that have been provided for some of spectacular archaeological ruins left behind by ancient societies. Through the examination of these cases, we will discuss and analyze how scientists and scholars know what they know vs. the more suspect claims put forward by fringe commentators. Anthropology of Disease�Human beings are simultaneously biological, social and cultural creatures. Infectious disease represents a particularly salient factor in the biological experience of human beings and has been a focus of intensive study in the medical sciences. For a fully comprehensive examination understanding of the role of disease in human life, however, a more holistic perspective is needed. Without losing sight of present biological aspects of infectious disease, this seminar shifts focus toward the evolutionary, social and cultural dynamics experienced by humans in the context of disease, through the lens of anthropology, the discipline most concerned with holistic and contextual understandings of the species. Arts in New York City�Through lecture, discussion and participation in metropolitan events, participants experience and respond to human cultural and creative expression in art, music, architecture and theater. Students attend up to five major arts events and participate in pre�and post�event lectures and discussions. Note: Most events are on Saturday or Sunday. Students are responsible for ticket expenses. Censorship and Self�Expression�This seminar explores the history and current state of censorship in the United States. It will examine how censorship exists in a country founded on free expression in speech, the arts, music, digital media, etc., focusing on where the gray areas are and the differences between government and private censorship. Culture Wars in America�Ever wonder why modern conservatives and liberals in the U.S. fight like cats and dogs? Is it the inevitable fallout of a two�party system which lends itself to polarization and conflict? And yet, Since the 1960s, Republicans and Democrats can't seem to get along on anything. This seminar explores the history behind the culture wars, the main figures in the media and politics responsible for this divisiveness, and solutions to find more common ground between the left and right as American politics moves deeper into the new century. Debating the Vikings�This seminar surveys the history of the Vikings from approximately 800 to 1100 CE, from their early raiding and trading activities to their conquest and colonization of territories from Russia to Iceland to the North American coast. The positive and negative aspects of Viking society, culture and way of life will be evaluated, with special attention to Viking religion and mythology. The stereotyped view of the Vikings as bloodthirsty, rapacious barbarians will be checked against actual records and opened to critique and discussion. Deviance Unleashed: Am I Normal?�Are you a deviant person? Are you a follower of social norms or are you the person who stands out in a crowd? Is it possible for anyone to claim "normalcy?" This seminar explores deviant behavior and normalcy from an interdisciplinary perspective. Major 2017�2018 topics include: cyber deviance, death/dying, corporate/political crimes, sexual deviance, mental disorders, and positive deviance. Specific/additional topics will be determined based on the unique interests of the class. Entertain Us!�When humans aren�t in school or working, what activities bring them joy, pleasure, and fulfillment? How do these activities relate to historical time and cultural norms? How do larger social forces impact what we �choose� as entertainment? This seminar explores the world of entertainment from an interdisciplinary perspective. Major topics include: digital communication, music, books, television & film, sports, games (board and video), and travel. Additional topics will be added based on the unique interests of the class. Ethics and Criminal Justice�This seminar explores ethical issues in the criminal justice system as faced by law enforcement practitioners and society at large. Ethics and Human Relations�This seminar explores ethical issues in the differing relationships in which humans are engaged. Relationships may include familial, marital, employment, friendships as well as those based on gender, age, and others. Everything Falls Apart�Why do human civilizations seem to inevitably fall apart? Is our own society headed for a similar collapse? Why do we find stories of social destruction so fascinating? In this seminar, we begin by examining a number of archaeological and historic case studies to determine how and why complex societies break down and what happens to the people left in their wake. Using this background, we then explore the potential scenarios of collapse for our own society through an analysis of the popular media structured on narratives of the end of the world. Fibonacci Sequence: From Rabbits to Pinecones�This seminar explores the fascinating, beautiful, and often unexpected ways that this particular pattern of numbers occurs in the world around us. Originally described using the breeding habits of rabbits, this sequence tur up in many man�made and naturally occurring situations. Representative examples will be explored from mathematics, biology, music, and more. Come and be surprised! The First Crusade and the Birth of Modern History�The First Crusade was a pivotal moment in European history, the first time Latin Christians expanded outside of Europe to explore and settle other lands. We will not explore the political or economic effects of the First Crusade but the historiographical and intellectual implications. The First Crusade dramatically changed the nature of history writing in Europe, from chronicles and annals to in�depth analysis of a contemporary event. History does not just mean dry documentary sources: in the Middle Ages, much like this class, the past was represented in song, art, architecture, and text, all of which give different perceptions of the past. From Gothic to Goth�This seminar explores the history, art, architecture, music, literature, philosophy and religions of the gothic period. It then explores the correlation between these mediums and theories and those of the gothic sub�culture of the late 20th century to the present. Honors Frontiers in Biology�This seminar covers three areas of current biology: discovery of new species and habitats, biotechnology, and the challenge of living sustainably on earth. Readings, discussions, case�studies and guest speakers expose participants to new scientific findings and the ethical challenges that these discoveries bring. Gender Roles: Past, Present and Future�This seminar explores various issues in gender studies from past to present and future trends from interdisciplinary viewpoints. Theory will be balanced with group discussion and collaboration. Students direct their analysis of gender dynamics through use of critical thinking and readings and other media sources. Graphic Novels�This seminar is a study of the graphic novel as a form of literature and arts, focusing on its history, major contributors to the form, and the various techniques used to create them. The seminar illustrates how the graphic novel combines a variety of disciplines including literature, art, history, psychology, sociology, political theory, ethics and philosophy. Guns in America: 2nd Amendment�This semester explores the role of guns in American society and the seemingly never�ending debate surrounding the right to bear arms.
