In addition to offering formal instruction to students in both the day, evening and weekend, the College engages in a variety of other activities. It sponsors a series of cultural events, lectures and artistic performances for students, staff and faculty, and to which the public is invited. The Middletown Campus From its original configuration of two buildings�a mansion and carriage house�in 1950, the SUNY Orange Middletown campus has grown to its present size of 37 acres that house 14 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. A magnificent example of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, Morrison Hall contains 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 instructional space for chemistry and geology. Expansion over the years has infused the campus with significant additional educational space. Hudson Hall, Harriman Hall and the Bio-Medical Technology Building contain classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories and faculty offices. The Sarah Wells building houses faculty offices and child care services. Orange Hall features a well-equipped theater as well as rehearsal rooms and performance space. The Library, with its capacity to accommodate 700 patrons, contains over 95,000 print and non-print resources, videotapes, computer software and compact disc collections. The George F. Shepard Student Center houses a cafeteria and dining room, the College bookstore and nearly every student support function at the College.

The Library features a large computer lab as well as an �Information Commons� where students have ready access to computers replete with internet connectivity and software programs. Newburgh Campus Accessibility is a key component of SUNY Orange�s mission as a community college, and the College has expanded county residents� access to programs and services through the development of the Newburgh campus and satellite locations throughout the county.

Construction of the building, along with significant renovations to the existing Tower Building, will help the College double its student capacity in Newburgh. The campus is recognized by New York�s Department of Education as a branch campus, meaning students in selected degree programs can complete all of their requirements in Newburgh. Beginning with the Fall 2009 semester, the College will begin offering a few full-degree programs in Newburgh.

Satellite Locations Credit and non-credit courses are also offered at Monroe-Woodbury, Port Jervis and Warwick Valley high schools, enabling individuals to take courses toward a degree, expand their job skills or access personal enrichment classes closer to home or work. Students may choose from courses in psychology, early childhood education, physical education, business, criminal justice, art, math, and English, to name a few. A selection of non-credit computer, leisure, language, art and photography courses are also offered throughout the semester.

SUNY's 64 statewide campuses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New York citizens and comprise the nation's largest, centrally managed system of public higher education. When founded in 1948, SUNY consolidated 29 state-operated, but unaffiliated, institutions. Since then, SUNY has grown to a point where its impact is felt educationally, culturally and economically throughout the state. SUNY now offers 3,600 academic programs at its Educational Opportunity Centers, two-year colleges, four-year campuses, and university and medical centers. Degree opportunities range from two-year associate programs to doctoral studies offered at 12 senior campuses. Two-year colleges are the largest branch of higher education, currently enrolling a majority of all first time college students. 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. 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 contributes one- third to 40 percent of their operating costs and one- half of their capital costs. The State University motto is: "To Learn�To Search�To Serve." SUNY Orange Founded in 1950 as the first county-sponsored community college in the SUNY system, Orange County Community College is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The College offers 38 academic programs that are designed for transfer and career preparation.

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 receivied by the Records and Registration Office by the end of the third week of the semester. Any change of curriculums received after the third week will be effective for the subsequent term. Forms are available at the Records and Registration Office. If a student wishes to change advisors, the request should be submitted to the Advising and Counseling Center after the change of curriculum form has been filed. 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 legal action. (Refer also to �Student Rights & Responsibilities� section of this catalog.) Academic dishonesty, as defined in the Code of Student Conduct, includes, but is not limited to: cheating, including cybercheating; fabrication; facilitating academic dishonesty; plagiarism, including internet plagiarism; forgery; bribery; or multiple submission (submitting the same assignment to more than one instructor without the permission of the instructors). Conduct Expected of Students The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who exhibits conduct incompatible with the purposes of 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. Placement Assessment The Placement Assessment is a mandatory test to determine each student�s reading, writing and mathematical abilities. It must be taken after a student applies to the College but before that student may register for any classes. Its purpose is to insure that each student has the necessary skills in each of these critical areas to begin college-level study. If the student needs more work in any area, he or she will begin at the developmental course level. Developmental Course Placement For students who have tested into two or more developmental courses in reading, writing or mathematics, the College has created the following academic policies and procedures to insure their success: � Students who are placed on academic probation (less than 2.0 CumGPA) or receive an W, DVF, or DVH in a developmental course will receive a letter stating that the student�s records will be reviewed by the Developmental Education 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. Students will have the option of meeting with the Developmental Review Board to discuss their circumstances before decisions are made. � Students who receive grades 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. If students do not successfully complete a particular developmental course by the third attempt, they will be separated from the college for one year. Upon their return to the college, students will be granted one attempt to successfully repeat the course(s). A grade of DVH or DVF would require another year separation. The appeals process will be available to those students who will be separated. The above applies to all students regardless of the number of developmental courses they are required to take. � Any student who fails to obtain the minimum credits passed that are indicated below will be separated from the college for a period of one year. Total Credits Minimum Credits Attempted Passed 24 6 36 12 48 18 Credits attempted excludes courses where a student has received a grade of W, I, M or N. Developmental students who wish to appeal the decision of the Developmental Education Review Board may appeal to the appropriate associate vice president. During the registration process, the academic advisor and the student create the student�s course 30 www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Course Policies and Procedures schedule. The advisor will use the Placement Assessment results to insure 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. Note: Students who place into developmental math courses must complete these courses even though there may not be a specific math requirement in their curriculum. 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 Records and Registration. Students with credits earned at a previous institution are urged to check with the Records & Registration 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. Elements to 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, B, C, D, F, 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, although 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. Field Trips When students attend either group-sponsored or course-sponsored field trips, they must pay their own expenses. 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 card, available at the Records and Registration Office, 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, (20 or more credits in a semester, or 9 or more in a summer session) the appropriate associate vice president must approve. Schedule Changes and Withdrawals Once a student�s course schedule is created, the student receives a computerized printout and has his or her name added to the rosters for each course and section. 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: Deadline for Schedule Changes The time set aside by the College for students to change their schedules, usually referred to as the �drop/add period,� is the first week of a 15-week semester (Fall and Spring), or the equivalent during the summer sessions or accelerated course time periods. Students may register for open first and second half-semester courses through the second class meeting of the first week of the course. 31www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Course Policies and Procedures During the drop/add period, students must secure the advisor�s signature to enter a section with open seats. After the one week period or its equivalent, the signatures of the department chair, instructor and registrar are required (See specific deadlines for drop/add listed in the current course schedule). Only the student may make changes to his or her schedule, and all requests for changes must be done in writing. 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 in the Records and Registration Office. 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 appropriate course schedule. An exit interview with an Advising and Counseling Center staff member is required for all admitted (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 Records and Registration Office. Medical Withdrawal A student may withdraw from all semester courses for medical reasons. For the medical withdrawal process, contact the Records and Registration Office. Since financial aid and future academic records may be affected, it is important that students follow the proper withdrawal procedures. 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 and privileged. The student's request for medical withdrawal and appropriate forms should be submitted to the registrar before the end of the semester in which the illness occurs. 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 consult with the appropriate offices concerning these items. Medical Leave Students may be granted a medical leave if appropriate medical documentation that contains an anticipated return date is provided to the Registrar. Withdrawal from a Non-DevelopmentalCourse 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 in the Records and Registration Office and obtaining the advisor�s signature. Note: After the drop/add period, the student may ask an instructor for an Instructor Withdrawal, but the instructor is not required to grant it. No record of the course appears on the student�s transcript if the course is dropped by the deadlines published in the appropriate course schedule. Withdrawals are processed by the Records and Registration Office as of the day of receipt. Please keep this in mind since refunds are generated from the processing date. Withdrawal from a Developmental Course To withdraw from a developmental course, but not any others that semester, a student must acquire the permission of the appropriate administrator (associate vice president, registrar, coordinator of Learning Assistance Services), 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). Withdrawal and Financial Aid Awards Students who receive financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office as withdrawal from either a single course or from all courses may affect current or future aid. 32 www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Grades and Grading / Academic Standing Grades and Grading Grades, Quality Points and CumGPA SUNY Orange uses a four-point grading system, based on letter grades of A, B, C, D and F. Each grade is assigned a numeric value: 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 To calculate quality points, multiply the number of credits of a course by the numeric value of the grade earned. For example: An A (4 quality points) in Freshman English 1 (3 credits) produces 12 quality points (4 x 3 = 12) and a C- (1.67 quality points) in Calculus 1 (4 credits) produces 6.68 quality points (1.67x 4 = 6.68). To determine academic average for a given semester, divide the quality points earned by the number of semester hour credits calculated (SemGPA). The same formula, dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credits calculated, is used to calculate the cumulative quality point average (CumGPA). All credit courses taken at the College are calculated into the Cumulative GPA unless the student has been awarded a Fresh Start (see Fresh Start Policy). Transfer credits do not affect the cumulative SUNY Orange GPA. The College accepts only transfer credits, but not the grades. However, when calculating academic average, the following special grades do not count as credits calculated: PP (Pass) indicates satisfactory performance in a physical activity course PF (Fail) is received for unsatisfactory performance in a physical activity course I (Incomplete) work unfinished due to unavoidable circumstances W (Withdrawal) indicates that the student withdrew by the deadline or was withdrawn by the instructor M (Medical Withdrawal) withdrawal from a course based upon documented health reasons N (Non-credit) indicates a credit course was taken for no credit DVP (Developmental Pass) indicates satisfactory performance in a developmental course. DVF (Developmental Fail) is received for unsatisfactory performance in a developmental course. DVH (Hold) indicates a degree of progress was made in a developmental course but not sufficient enough to warrant a grade of P (Pass) To clear a grade of I (Incomplete) from the record, work must be completed by the deadline indicated on the Incomplete Form, which can be no later than the end of the next semester, Fall or Spring. If the work is not completed, the I grade will become an F. It is the student�s responsibility to remain in contact with the instructor and submit work by the deadline. A grade of I will be calculated as an F for graduation purposes. Academic Standing CumGPA: 2.00 - 4.00 Good Standing CumGPA: 1.50 - 1.99 AcademicProbation CumGPA: 0.0-1.49 Academic Probation (less than 30 credit hours completed+) CumGPA: 0.00 - 1.49 Probation (30 or more if SemGPA* is 2.0 or Credit hours higher completed+) Separation if SemGPA* is 0.00 � 1.99 CumGPA - Cumulative grade point average + Grades of W, I, H, M, N or Pass/Fail in developmental and physical activity courses do not apply * SemGPA - Semester grade point average Good Academic Standing Students who have achieved a CumGPA (cumulative grade point average) of 2.0 or higher at the College are designated in good academic standing. Mid-Semester Progress Reports Communication between instructors and students regarding the student�s progress in college classes generally takes place before or after class or during office hours. In addition, students whose work is below the level of �C� may receive a Mid-Semester Progress Report. This �unsatisfactory� report does not go on a student�s college transcript, but should be considered official notification that the student should speak with the instructor about his or her progress. Students may also wish to speak with an academic advisor or counselor. Dean's List All students who have completed 12 or more academic credits in a semester and who have earned a SemGPA (semester average) of 3.0, and who are not on academic probation, are placed on the Dean�s List. The prior policy regarding part-time student Dean�s List is not in effect at this time. 33www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Academic Standing / Fresh Start Policy Degree Audit/Catalog Year Students in Health Professions majors must follow the catalog requirements of the year in which they were most recently accepted into the program. Non-Health Professions students who were admitted in Fall 2000 and after should follow the catalog year in which they were first admitted, and must have attended beyond the third week of classes (or the equivalent). Students may choose to follow later catalog versions. The Records and Registration Office will however base the student�s degree audit upon the initial semester in which the student was admitted and attended, unless otherwise notified in writing by the student. Non-Health Professions students who were in attendance prior to Fall 2000 but who have taken semesters off should follow the catalog year in which they were first readmitted and attended after the Summer 2000 semester. Students may choose to follow later catalog versions. The Records and Registration Office will however base the student�s degree audit upon the first semester of readmission and attendance after Fall 2000, unless otherwise notified in writing by the student. The only students eligible to follow a pre-Fall 2000 catalog year are non-Health Professions students who have been in continuous attendance since prior to Fall 2000. Academic Probation Students who have achieved a CumGPA of less than 2.0 at the College are placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation may continue study, but may not enroll in more than 14 credits in a Fall or Spring semester or six credits in a summer session. Academic Separation Students who have attempted 30 credits or more at the college who have a CumGPA of less than 1.5 and a SemGPA (semester quality point average) of less than 2.0 are separated for a period of one year. However, students who have attained a SemGPA of 2.0 or higher are placed on academic probation. For those students enrolling at SUNY Orange from the Spring 2008 semester and thereafter, failure to pass (receive a DVP grade) in a developmental course by the end of the third attempt of the course results in academic separation from the College for the period of one year. 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. Grades of W, I, H, M or N are not counted as credits attempted. Pass or fail grades earned in developmental courses are not counted as 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. The College Appeals Board meets each year in early January and June. Those students who are placed on academic probation and who desire to enroll in more than the maximum number of credits allowed may also request permission from the College Appeals Board. The decision of the College Appeals Board may be appealed for final disposition to the appropriate associate vice president. Final appeals are due no later than noon on the Thursday before the start of the fall or spring semester. If an appeal is granted, students who receive financial aid should not assume that financial aid eligibility will be reinstated. Students who receive financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office directly regarding the appeal process for reinstatement of aid. Fresh Start Policy This policy is intended to provide a �fresh start� for students with poor grades who want to change to a new program, or, having been away from the College for at least one year, want to resume their original plan of study. Please note that this application will not be reviewed until at least four weeks into the returning semester. An eligible student will have his or her CumGPA re-computed by excluding final grades earned in courses taken at SUNY Orange that are not explicitly required in the student�s intended degree or certificate program. The student may apply at any time during his or her career. However, a Fresh Start will be awarded only once. If the application is denied by the registrar, a written appeal may be made to the vice president for academic affairs. Application of the Fresh Start policy means: � Grades will be omitted from the recalculation of a CumGPA until the CumGPA is 2.00 or the smallest possible number above 2.0. However, the original grade remains on the transcript. � Courses and grades omitted from the recalculation will be identified on the transcript by the �X� symbol printed beside the recalculated course(s). No grades are ever removed from a transcript. To be eligible for a Fresh Start, a student must meet all of the following criteria: � Be admitted in a registered degree or certificate program at the College � Have changed curriculum, or have been out of the College for at least one calendar year 34 www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Fresh Start Policy / Graduation � Have a CumGPA lower than 2.0 at the time of the request � Acknowledge in writing the restrictions of this policy � Not have had any courses �discounted� under the previous policy Final Examination Policy Final examinations are not required in all courses. During the Fall semester, for the mandatory 15th week, and in the Spring semester, during the optional 16th 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 in the Records and Registration Office and the graduation fee of $45 must be paid to the Bursar by the deadline, as outlined in the appropriate course schedule. 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 June must file for graduation in the Records and Registration Office during the February prior to June graduation. Students who complete their graduation requirements at the end of the fall semester, or during the summer sessions, are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony the following June. See the academic calendar for filing deadlines. 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. 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. For all other programs, the student must not have taken more than half of their credits earned at the Newburgh campus Graduation with Honors In addition to the diploma, graduates who have attained a CumGPA (cumulative average) of 3.20 to 3.59 receive a certificate of Graduation with Honors at commencement. Those students who achieve a CumGPA of 3.60 to 4.0 receive a Certificate of Graduation with High Honors at commencement. Faculty Honors Award All graduates who achieve a 4.0 cumulative average, or the graduate who achieves the highest average if there are no 4.0�s, receive(s) an engraved Faculty Honors Award. 35www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Transfer Credits / Student Records 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 Records and Registration Office if he/she has questions or wishes to appeal the evaluation. If after this meeting the student still wishes to appeal, he/she would need to meet with the department chair(s) of the course(s) in question. Note: If you receive a waiver of your assessment 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 qualify for one and one-half (1 1/2) physical education credits. 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) , IB (International Baccalaureate) and CLEP (College Level Experience Program) exams, and certain noncollege- sponsored training programs, as evaluated by the American Council on Education. Transcript Requests 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 $5 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. 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 Advising and Counseling Center. If students plan to transfer, they should take advantage of SUNY Orange transfer days and visitations by four-year college transfer representatives. Students who plan to transfer should select their courses at SUNY Orange with care, consult their advisor or counselor and use the transfer library and microfiche college catalog collection in the Advising and Counseling Center. Student Records Attendance Attendance is required in all courses. Students must make up work missed during any absence, regardless of the reason for the absence (see course syllabi for 36 www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Student Records details). Instructors are authorized to lower grades for class absences and may withdraw students from non-developmental courses for excessive absences. Instructors shall not lower grades for absences for religious observance nor, provided the instructor�s permission is given in advance, for participation in athletics or other college-sponsored events. If illness, accident or similar circumstances make it impossible for a student to attend classes for three or more consecutive days, it is the student�s responsibility to notify the Records and Registration Office immediately. The Records and Registration Office will then notify each instructor. However, it is the student�s responsibility to contact each instructor to make up missed work. Current or future awards of financial aid may be affected if a student does not attend classes for which he or she is registered. Certifications of Enrollment/Attendance or Certifications of Full-Time/Part-Time Status Students who require official certifications from the Records and Registration Office regarding enrollment/attendance or full-time/part-time status should submit signed written requests allowing release of such information in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Certifications of Full-Time/Part-Time Status are done on a first-come, first-served basis. Certifications of Enrollment/Attendance are not sent until after the end of the third week of classes. If receipt by the requesting agency is needed by a specific deadline, students should state this in their requests. 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 Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974. With some exceptions, all student records are available for review upon request by that student, and the right to challenge the content is provided. No 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 Rights and Responsibilities booklet. 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 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. 37www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Student Records / Student Rights and Responsibilities 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. When the student is a tax dependent of parents/guardians, it is important that both parties discuss how they will communicate. Academic progress is reported to students with the expectation that this information will be part of on-going discussions with parents/guardians. If said discussions are not taking place with the student, 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 in the Records and Registration Office. 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 See the Code of Student Conduct published in the Student Handbook. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who conducts himself in a manner incompatible with the purposes of the College. Academic Separation, Probation and Appeals Please see Grades and Grading. Student Grievance Procedure SUNY Orange has implemented the following procedures for any student who feels that his or her rights or freedoms have been violated. Students should remember that if they do have a grievance, there are people on campus who they can approach to discuss their problem and who can provide guidance and advice with respect to the grievance procedures.

Sexual Assault In response to Public Law 101-542, Sec. 201 "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990," SUNY Orange provides workshops, prevention information programs and linkage to direct services and resources in the area. The majority of campus assaults, nationwide, fall into the category of date rape or acquaintance rape. Date or acquaintance rape may be defined as an interaction between two individuals in the context of a social event or gathering that ends with one partner forcing the other to participate in sexual activity against his or her will. While forced sex may not necessarily involve deception, direct threats of physical harm or violence can occur between strangers or acquaintances. Lack of consent, however, determines that forced sex is rape. No person or persons will, by coercion or physical force, engage in sexual acts with any member of the college community. No person or persons shall engage in forced sex with a person who is physically helpless, incapacitated, unconscious or otherwise incapable of communicating unwillingness or giving consent. Rape is a criminal offense and will be prosecuted under local and state laws. If any person has been a victim of this crime, he or she should report it to the Health Services Office, Advising and Counseling or Campus Security immediately. Assistance with counseling and/or referrals to the Orange County Rape Crisis Program is available. 40 www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Student Services Student Services is dedicated to attracting, enrolling and sustaining a diverse student population.

Working Drawings 2 Architectural Design 4 Strength of Materials Physical Education 3 3 4 4 3 1 Total Credits: 70 Program Description The Associate in Applied Science degree program in Architectural Technology prepares graduates to enter the workforce as architectural team members. 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. 64 www.sunyorange.edu Fall 2009 Architectural Technology 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 (GEDs). 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. Student Learning Outcomes Students will: � demonstrate an understanding of building materials and methods. � graphically communicate architectural forms and building assemblies, both two and three dimensionally. � demonstrate fluency using AutoCAD software to produce architectural drawings. � demonstrate an ability to visualize and manipulate three dimensional spaces. � demonstrate an appreciation for basic forms of architectural problem solving and aesthetic appreciation. � demonstrate an understanding of the need for architectural projects to coordinate with related professions (e.g. various forms of engineering). � demonstrate an understanding of fundamental structural principles. � demonstrate an understanding of basic life safety issues in buildings and an ability to apply regulatory requirements to building projects. � utilize research from electronic and other sources (e.g. Sweet�s catalog or manufacturers� literature) in architectural projects. � identify basic methods of sustainable building practices and environmental impacts of architectural choices. � demonstrate an understanding of the historical and social context of the development of western architecture.
