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 houses 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.

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.

It is also included in all registration material and is available on the College web site. 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. Please follow the instructions below for your home county. Once we receive the appropriate document the non-resident tuition charge will be removed from your account. You may not receive another bill. Make payment by subtracting the non-resident tuition amount from your balance due. ORANGE COUNTY RESIDENTS: Complete the Affirmation of Orange County 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 the SUNY Orange Bursar. 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, most 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 processed 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 an Alien Identification Card ("green card") for one full year and be able to establish NYS 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 NYS high school and applied for SUNY admissions within five years of receiving the NYS 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.

The Maximum EFC for Pell Grant eligibility is 5273. Students should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov after January 1. Be sure to enter our school code for the FAFSA: 002876. Approximately two weeks after filing, the Financial Aid Office will receive the FAFSA information electronically in the form of an Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) which will be used to determine eligibility for all Federal Aid. The student must be enrolled at the time the ISIR is received at the Office of Financial Aid in order for payment to be made to the student. 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. The FAFSA is available on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. There is no fee for processing this form. For students who are required to take developmental courses, Federal Aid funds will only pay for the first 30 attempted credits of developmental study. Students holding a bachelor degree are ineligible for the Federal Pell Grant, but they must file the FAFSA to receive consideration for other aid. ELIGIBILITY LIMIT AND DISBURSEMENT � Students who receive their first Pell Grant on or after July 1, 2008 may receive Pell Grants for as many as 18 semesters (or the equivalent) Special Adjustments for children of deceasedservice members The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 grants an automatic zero EFC for the Pell Grant Program ONLY to Pell Grant eligible students whose parent or guardian was a member of the Armed Forces and died in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001. Eligibility Exclusions 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. PROGRAMS FOR DEPENDENTS OF VETERANS The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 Financial Aid grants an automatic zero EFC for the Pell Grant Program� ONLY to Pell Grant eligible students whose parent or guardian was a member of the Armed Forces and died in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001. Eligibility guidelines A student must have been twenty-four years of age or less or enrolled at least part-time at an institution at the time of the parent's death. Legislators do not believe that this should be an additional question on the FAFSA, rather the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs should provide the Secretary of Education with the information necessary to determine which students meet the requirement. Because the question is not on the FAFSA, students will need to notify the Office of Financial Aid concerning their eligibility for this additional benefit. The Higher Education Opportunity Act's Technical Corrections Bill was signed it into law on July 1, 2009. This bill: � Sets the "Expected Family Contribution" (EFC) at zero for children of soldiers killed in Iraq or Afghanistan after 9/11/01, if the student was under 24 years old at the time or enrolled in an institution of higher education at the time, and is Pell-eligible - effective 7/1/09 NOTE: This is a change to the original policy noted at the top of this page � Creates the "Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants" - effective July 1, 2010 - for students whose parent or guardian died as a result of military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after 9/11/01, if the student was under 24 years old at the time or enrolled in an institution of higher education at the time. This program is for students who do not qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. The awards will be: Equal to the maximum Pell Grant available for the award year. Awards will be proportionally reduced for students enrolled on a part-time basis. These awards will not be counted as "estimated financial assistance" in determining a student's eligibility for other Title IV federal financial aid funds. However, this award and all other aid received cannot exceed the "cost of attendance" at the student's school. Provision Added to War Funding Bill Covers Cost of College Education for All Surviving Military Children The final 2009 Supplemental Appropriations bill (H.R. 2346) which funds U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, includes a provision to expand GI Bill benefits to children of fallen U.S. soldiers. The provision, authored by Congressman Chet Edwards (D-TX), expands the Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefit to cover the full cost of a college education for all children of fallen soldiers. The new benefit will be known as the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship in honor of a fallen soldier with three young children from Edwards' district. President Obama signed the bill into law on June 24, 2009. Post 9/11 G.I. Bill Parents can transfer their educational benefits under the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill to their dependent children. � Federal Perkins Loan Students who demonstrate exceptional need may be eligible to receive up to $27,500 as an undergraduate ($4,000 maximum per year).

FORD FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN APPLYING FOR DIRECT LOANS After you file a FAFSA, the Financial Aid Office draws up your projected budget to determine what your need for funds will be and what kind of aid you qualify for. If you qualify as a �student in financial need�, you will be eligible for additional types of aid. Based on your need, the Financial Aid Office compiles a list of grants and loans for which you qualify. WHEN THE AWARD PACKAGE IS OFFERED The Award Package will include Direct Loans as well as other kinds of state and federal aid. All students are eligible to apply for an Unsubsidized Loan (current interest rate of 6.8%). Interest on these loans will be charged during your college years; and during the six-month grace period after you graduate, withdraw, or drop below six credits; and also during periods of loan deferment. You choose whether to pay interest during college years as it is being charged or to delay payment and simply include it with the rest of the borrowed money to be repaid after leaving school. Students with financial need are eligible for a Subsidized Loan with a reduced interest rate of 3.4%. Interest on a Subsidized Loan will not be charged until the student graduates, withdraws, or drops below six credits. If necessary, a student getting a Subsidized Loan may supplement their loan with an Unsubsidized Loan. Another type of loan available is the Consolidation Loan with which a student can combine several student loans (even at different colleges) into one loan, repayable with one monthly payment. LIMITS ON LOAN AMOUNTS The following table shows the maximum amount of money you may borrow each academic year in Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans: 1. Except those whose parents are unable to borrow a PLUS loan. 2. These limits apply to dependent students whose parents are unable to borrow a PLUS loan. Total �lifetime� limits for Direct Unsubsidized and Subsidized Loans are: � $31,000 for dependent undergraduate students excluding those whose parents are unable to borrow a PLUS Loan, but no more than $23,000 may be subsidized. � $57,500 for independent undergraduate students and dependent undergraduates whose parents are unable to borrow a PLUS loan--but no more than $23,000 may be subsidized. EVALUATING YOUR AWARD PACKAGE You should evaluate the 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 not need to borrow as much money as the amount in the award package. � To get an idea of your college expenses, use the Budget Calculator on the government website. � To get an idea of your monthly loan payments after you graduate, see the Repayment Calculator on the government website. � You have the right to decline the loan or to request a smaller loan than the amount given in the award letter. � Remember that loan money must be paid back with interest. You should only borrow as a last resort. ACCEPTING YOUR STUDENT LOAN Dependent Independent student1 student2 1st-year $5,500-but $9,500-but undergraduate subsidized subsidized max. $3,500 max. $3,500 2nd-year $6,500-but $10,500-but undergraduate subsidized subsidized max. $4,500 max. $4,500 When you are satisfied with the awards package, you will need to � Accept the Direct Loans on Banner � Take a Loan Test (contact Financial Aid). If you are a first-time borrower of a student loan: � You must undergo Entrance Counseling online at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.actio n to clarify your responsibilities regarding the loan. � You must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan /index.action. After you file your MPN, you will Financial Aid receive a disclosure statement, noting the amount of the loan, fees for loan origination, and the expected disbursement dates and amounts. Additional loans can be made with this one MPN for a period of ten years. WHILE YOU ARE IN SCHOOL HOW LOANS ARE DISBURSED � Generally, your loan will cover costs for one year, and the school will make two disbursements, one at the beginning of the year and the other half�way through the year. You will be notified in writing of each disbursement. � Usually, the school will disburse the loan money by crediting it to your school account to pay for tuition and fees. � If there is money remaining, the school will mail the money directly to you. � If the loan disbursement is more than you need, the school will tell you how to cancel all or part of the disbursement, try to do this before your refund check is mailed to you so adjustments may be made at the Bursar�s and Financial Aid Office. � If you drop to less than half-time enrollment or completely withdraw from college, your loan money will be returned to the federal government. � A school must originate the borrower�s loan eligibility by the end of the loan period or the date on which the student ceases to be enrolled at least half time, whichever is earlier. If SUNY Orange does not originate the loan by the earlier of these two dates, the loan can not be disbursed. � Be sure to carefully keep all correspondence regarding your loan. EDUCATION EXPENSES DEFINED Student loans are to be used only for �education expenses� which include tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment, living expenses, cost of care for a dependent child, transportation, and the cost to rent or buy a computer. CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT STATUS You are responsible for keeping the Direct Loan Servicing Center at https://studentloans.gov/ myDirectLoan/index.action and the Financial Aid Office up-to-date on any changes in your status, such as: � You changed your name and/or address � You did not enroll at least half-time for the loan period certified by the school � You did not enroll at the school which certified your loan � You stopped attending or dropped below half�time enrollment � You transferred from one school to another � You changed your enrollment (which can have a negative impact on the amount of your loan and could cause a reduction in disbursements) � You graduated At the time you graduate, withdraw, or drop below half-time enrollment, you will begin the six-month grace period for your subsidized and/or unsubsidized loans. Immediately after the grace period ends, you must begin to repay your loan. PAYING INTEREST WHILE IN SCHOOL You can choose whether to make interest payments while you are in school or to defer these payments by adding them to the rest of the loan to be repaid later. You can determine how much more it will cost to defer interest payments with the loan calculator at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action WHEN YOU LEAVE SCHOOL GRADUATING, WITHDRAWING, OR DROPPING BELOW HALF-TIME ENROLLMENT Before you leave school or drop below half-time, you must complete an online exit Interview at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action. Whether you are graduating, withdrawing, or dropping below half-time enrollment, you will begin a six-month grace period, after which your repayment period will begin. Be sure to notify the Financial Aid Office and as well as the Direct Loan Service Center when you are no longer enrolled. NOTE: You must begin repayment at the end of the grace period. However if your loan repayment has already been deferred and you have used up one grace period, there will be no additional grace period and repayment must begin as soon as your leave school. If you do not begin making payments when required, there is a possibility you will lose repayment incentives you have received or even go into default. GRACE PERIODS Your grace period begins the day after you graduate, withdraw, or drop below half-time enrollment. If you re-enroll in school at least half�time before the end of your grace period, you will receive the full 6-month grace period when you graduate or withdraw from school. During the grace period, you are not required to make loan repayments. Financial Aid RESERVISTS CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY If you are called up for military service for more than 30 days, notify the Direct Loan Service Center� of your status, so loan accommodations can be made. CHOOSING A REPAYMENT PLAN You will have a choice among several repayment plans: � Standard ten-year repayment � Repayment extended to 25 years for those with over $30,000 worth of student loans � Graduated repayment with payments increasing over the years � Repayment based on income You are free to change your plan at any time during the loan process. CONSOLIDATION OF MULTIPLE STUDENT LOANS Even if you have taken out student loans at other colleges, they can all be consolidated, along with your current loan, into one loan with one monthly payment. Consolidation will usually extend the loan-repayment period, but note that such an extension results in additional interest costs. For additional information on loan consolidation, see the consolidation website at http://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/. THE REPAYMENT PERIOD The length of the repayment period varies with the plans. If you don�t select any particular repayment plan, you will automatically be put in the standard plan with fixed monthly payments for up to 10 years. This plan saves you the most money over time because it doesn�t have interest added during an extended repayment period. Another plan starts with low repayment amounts and slowly increases the amount over time. No matter what plan you are in, you can change your plan at any time. Click on Repaying Your Loans at http://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/ MAKING PAYMENTS ELECTRONICALLY Instead of mailing in a check every month, carefully timed to meet the due date, you can opt for an electronic debit account in which your bank automatically make your monthly payments directly out of your checking or savings account. Your first repayment bill will explain how to sign up for this option. A big advantage of making automatic repayments is that there will be a reduction in your interest rate of 0.25% during any period in which your payments are made electronically. DIFFICULTY MAKING PAYMENTS If you have trouble making your loan payments, contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center. You may be able to arrange for deferment or forbearance on your account. �Deferment� can postpone loan repayment for a given time period if the student meets the following qualifications: Student is enrolled at least half-time in college, or student is unemployed and/or is eligible for �economic hardship�, or student is in military service. In the case of a Subsidized Loan, interest does not accrue during deferment. �Forbearance� is for those who do not qualify for deferment, yet are temporarily unable to make loan repayments. Arrangements can be made with the Direct Loan Service Center to extend the time to make repayments, or stop making payments, or temporarily make smaller payments. Deferment and forbearance are two kinds of arrangements you can make with the Direct Loan Service Center. Unless you make such an arrangement, you risk going into �default��which has serious consequences. (Students who are already in default are not eligible for deferment or forbearance.) To apply for deferment or forbearance at http://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/, Click on Contact Us, then Manage Your Account, then Deferment Request or Forbearance Request. Your loan becomes �delinquent� when your payment is not received by the due date. The Service Center will send you a reminder if your payment is late, and, if your payment is still not received, warning notices will be sent to you. NOTE: If you are delinquent, contact the Direct Loan Service Center immediately to learn how to bring your account current. Late fees may be added and your account reported to one or more credit bureaus�but this is better than going into default. � PLUS LOANS FOR PARENTS The Direct Loan program offers low-interest loans to students and parents and is funded by the US Government, not a bank.

Bill, go to www.gibill.va.gov. � Aid for Native Americans The Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs gives educational grants directly to the various Native American tribes. Students should contact their tribal office to see if federal funds are available. Aid for Native Americans may be also be available through the New York State Education Department. The website is www.nysed.gov and, by sending an email to acooke@mail.NYSED.gov, students can get additional information. � Academic Progress Standards � Federal Programs The federal government has established satisfactory progress standards for the following Title IV federal student aid programs: Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, subsidized Stafford Loan, unsubsidized Stafford Loan, SEOG and college work-study. Any SUNY Orange student who has failed to accumulate the number of credits listed in the box at the top of this page (second column), based upon the number of credits they have attempted (first column), or has not achieved the minimum CQPA (third column) will not be eligible for future federal financial aid. The satisfactory progress review for federal aid programs for students enrolled in associate degree programs occurs at the end of each academic year. Reviews for students enrolled in certificate programs are conducted at the end of each Fall and Spring semester. *Total **Minimum Credits Credits ***Minimum Attempted Accumulated CQPA 0-6 00 7-12 30 13-18 6 1.00 19-27 12 1.30 28-36 18 1.50 37-45 27 +2.00 46-57 36 2.00 58-69 48 2.00 70-84 60 2.00 85-99 72 ++2.00 +Maximum Time/Certificate ++Maximum Time/Associate Degree Students enrolled in certificate programs are allowed a total of 45 credits attempted. Students enrolled in all associate degree programs are allowed a total of 99 credits attempted. Students who do not complete their certificate or associate degree requirements within the maximum time frame stated above lose eligibility for federal aid. * Total credits attempted is defined as all credits attempted at SUNY Orange after the drop/add period, including: developmental credits, withdrawals, repeated coursework, P.E.'s, holds, incompletes, failed courses, medical withdrawals and any transfer credits accepted toward your degree. **Minimum credits accumulated is defined as all credits passed at SUNY Orange and any transfer credits accepted toward a degree. ***Developmental coursework, P.E.'s, and accepted transfer credits are not calculated in the CQPA. Appeal Process/Reinstatement of Federal Aid Eligibility Based upon mitigating circumstances, students may be granted two exceptions to the College�s satisfactory academic progress policy. To apply for an exception, students must: � Complete the Request for Appeal of Satisfactory Progress Form detailing the mitigating circumstances � Submit documentation (doctor's note, police report, social services report, obituary, etc.) with their request � Submit academic plan of study Students will be notified in writing if an exception has been granted or denied, and waivers cannot be granted to appeal maximum time limits. Financial Aid All students who are granted an appeal are automatically placed on financial aid probation. The waiver is is for one semester only. All students on probation will be re-evaluated when grades for the following semester are submitted to the Registrar�s Office. Students who do not adhere to their Appeal Agreement will loose their financial aid the following semester. We encourage students who are denied an exception or students who choose not to submit an appeal by the review date to enroll without receiving the benefit of financial aid because these students can have their appeal application reviewed again at their request. � Local College Work-Study (LCWS) College funds are also available for students who do not meet the federal work study eligibility requirements. The pay rate is $8 per hour (subject to change). All students awarded work-study are placed in the job by the College's Office of Career and Internship Services. FAFSA is required. � Scholarships and Awards Through the efforts of its SUNY Orange Foundation, Orange County Community College offers a variety of scholarships, grants-in-aid and awards that have been established for entering, returning, and graduating students.. See the accompanying grid for a complete listing of scholarships, grants and awards. Scholarships are awarded annually by the Scholarship and Awards Committee (except where noted). Recipients of these scholarships are selected based upon donor criteria which could include: demonstrated financial need, academic achievement, faculty recommendations and the availability of scholarship funds. Scholarship forms are available after Jan. 15 from the College website or the Financial Aid Office. Applicants are encouraged to apply for scholarships online at www.sunyorange.edu/scholarships. A student needs only to file one application for a given category of scholarship (one application will submit the student�s name for consideration for all of the entering scholarships). Students awarded scholarships based upon recommendations of faculty departments and/or by the Committee on Scholarship and Financial Assistance will be notified in early May. These students will be recognized at either the College�s Spring (for graduating students) or Fall (for entering and returning students) Scholarship and Awards Ceremony.

Spring 2012 www.sunyorange.edu Academic Policies and Procedures The Records and Registration Office maintains students� records, oversees the registration process, sets the academic master schedule, distributes grades and administers academic policy. Students should contact Records and Registration for information ranging from: registrations and schedule changes; transcripts; grades, records, and access; verification of enrollment, attendance, or full-or part-time status for insurance, banks and employers; graduation applications; the course schedule each semester; the final exam schedule each semester; the list of graduates each semester; cancellation of classes with low enrollment; student records; changes of curriculum; registration calendars; attendance records; academic policies and the academic policy manual; and protection of students� privacy rights and communication with parents and others regarding the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Information regarding many of the Records and Registration regulations and policies can be found by visiting www.sunyorange.edu/academic_services. To call or visit Records and Registration, please see page 5 for location and phone information � Registration Registration for credit classes at SUNY Orange is done either in person or online depending upon student eligibility criteria. Students are encouraged to complete the following steps in the credit registration process: � Complete the admissions application form � Take the Placement Assessment test in the Advising and Counseling Center (for all new students) or consult an academic advisor (for currently enrolled students) � Visit the Financial Aid Office if you are seeking financial aid � Submit immunization records and Meningitis Response Form to the Wellness Center (Health Services) � See your assigned advisor to select courses � Register for classes at the appropriate time (see current semester course schedule for details) � Go to the Bursar Office to make payment or a payment arrangement � Academic Policies and Procedures The degree requirements and academic regulations contained in the SUNY Orange Catalog affect all students who begin their study in 2011-2012. All information is accurate as of the time of publication. For the most current information, please consult the College web page at www.sunyorange.edu. Policies are subject to change. Current information relative to changes in program or academic policies can be obtained from the Office for Academic Affairs, which is located on the second floor of Morrison Hall. The vice president for academic affairs is authorized to waive the application of any College academic policy in a particular case. Academic Year The academic year is composed of two semesters� Fall and Spring�each of which is a minimum of 15 instructional weeks long. Courses offered in the summer are a minimum of six weeks. Intersession courses, when offered, are usually three or four weeks in duration. Cancellation of Classes Classes may be cancelled due to low enrollment. However, any cancellation will be announced no later than the Friday before a full semester begins or on the day before a half semester begins. During the semester, individual classes will be canceled for the day or evening when hazardous driving conditions or similar circumstances make such action advisable. Cancellation of day classes does not necessarily mean evening classes are also cancelled. Cancellation of day classes is usually announced at approximately 6 a.m. while cancellation of evening classes is usually announced at approximately 2 p.m. News regarding delays and cancellations is found on the College�s website, broadcast over local radio stations, and announced on the College�s main telephone number, (845) 344-OCCC. The College reserves the right to reschedule classes. Generally, evening classes are made up on the Friday evening of the next week. Academic Policies and Procedures 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 receivied by Records and Registration 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 from Records and Registration. 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 will be treated as a serious offense. 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. The Placement Test The Placement Test is mandatory and used 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 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, (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 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. 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 with Records and Registration. 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. Medical Withdrawal A student may withdraw from all semester courses for medical reasons. For the medical withdrawal process, contact Records and Registration. 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 from Records and Registration 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 Financial Aid as withdrawal from either a single course or from all courses may affect current or future aid. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 Final Exam 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 with Records and Registration and the graduation fee 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 with Records and Registration 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. 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 receive credit for both PES 100 and the one credit of physical activity requirement. 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 non�college-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 details). Instructors are authorized to lower grades for class absences and may withdraw students from non-developmental courses for excessive absences. Student Records 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. 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 once directory information is suppressed enrollment verifications 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 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 Student Records / Student Rights and Responsibilities 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. 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. These people include their advisors and college counselors. The student is encouraged to contact the Advising and Counseling Center for assistance. In pursuing the grievance, the student may be accompanied by an advocate once the grievance reaches the vice presidential level. Academic Grievance: When a student believes that his or her academic rights or freedoms have been violated, that student may attempt to redress that violation. Time Frame: An informal grievance must be concluded and a formal grievance, if any, must be submitted no later than 30 days after the start of the semester following the semester in which the problem arose. If a grievance arises in the Spring semester or during the Summer session, this means that the student must file a formal grievance, if any, no later than 30 days into the following Fall semester. Student Rights and Responsibilities Procedure: When a student believes that his or her academic rights or freedoms have been violated, the student may attempt to redress that violation as follows: Informal Stage � Meet with the faculty member to discuss the issue � If the grievance is not resolved in a reasonable amount of time, the student should meet with the department chairperson to discuss the issue � If the grievance is still not resolved in a reasonable amount of time, the student should meet with the divisional associate vice president to discuss the matter. Formal Stage � If the grievance has not been resolved informally, the student may file a formal, written grievance (including documentation if appropriate) with the divisional associate vice president. The associate vice president will inform the faculty member and department chair of the grievance and will have 10 working days to investigate and render a written decision, including a rationale. (Submission of additional documentation, information or claims by the student will cause the 10 working day countdown to begin again.) � Within 10 working days of receipt of the divisional associate vice president�s decision, if the grievance is not settled, the student may file a written grievance with the vice president for academic affairs. The student should indicate whether he or she wants the vice president for academic affairs to render a decision immediately or it he or she wants the Committee for Student Grievances to hear the complaint first. � If the grievance is to be heard immediately by the vice president for academic affairs, he/she will have 10 working days to render a written decision including a rationale. (The submission of additional documentation, information or claims by the student will cause the 10 working day countdown to begin again.) � Final Appeal - The decision of the vice president for academic affairs may be appealed for final disposition to the President of the College within 10 working days. The decision of the President is final. � If the grievance is to go to the Committee for Student Grievances, the vice president for academic affairs will request that the vice president for student services appoint the Committee for Student Grievances and convene it within 20 working days. � The Committee for Student Grievances is an ad hoc committee which shall consist of: � Two students appointed by the Student Senate � One full-time faculty from the same discipline in which the grievance occurred � One full-time faculty from a different discipline � One representative from the appropriate administrative office � The Committee for Student Grievances shall have the responsibility of recommending a decision about the grievance. To this end, written or oral statements may be initiated or solicited from the principals in the grievance, and/or from other observers who can provide pertinent information. In addition, each principal in the grievance may have an advocate at the hearing. � When all the information pertinent to the case has been presented to the committee, the committee will convene without the principals in attendance to discuss the case. � The Committee for Student Grievances will have 10 working days to complete its deliberation. The recommendations of the committee are to be presented in writing to the vice president for academic affairs within five working days after the completion of the deliberations. A decision and supportive rationale shall be communicated in writing by the vice president to the principals and to the chairperson of the Committee for Student Grievances within five days. � Final Appeal - The decision of the vice president may be appealed for final disposition to the President of the College within 10 working days. The decision of the President of the College is final. Record Keeping A permanent file containing appropriate documentation relating to the grievance shall be kept in the office of the vice president for academic affairs for six years. Non-Academic Grievance: When a student believes that his or her rights or freedoms in a non-academic area have been violated, that student may attempt to redress that violation as follows: � Approach the staff or administrative person in question � Approach the appropriate supervisor if the grievance is not resolved within a reasonable amount of time � Approach the appropriate vice president or request Student Rights and Responsibilities that the Student Grievance Committee be convened if the grievance is not resolved within a reasonable amount of time After going through the proper procedures, the student has the right to be heard by the Student Grievance Committee. The student must go to the Office of Student Services to have the committee convened. At this point in the process, the grievance must be put in writing if this has not been done already. The ad hoc committee shall consist of: � Two students appointed by the Student Senate � One full-time faculty or staff member from the same discipline in which the grievance occurred � One full-time faculty or staff member from a different discipline � One representative from the appropriate administrative office The Student Grievance Committee shall have the responsibility of recommending a decision about the grievance. To this end, written or oral statements may be initiated or solicited from the principals in the grievance, and/or from other observers who can provide pertinent information. In addition, each principal in the grievance may have an advocate at the hearing. When all information pertinent to the case has been presented to the committee, the committee will convene without the principals in attendance to discuss the case. The Student Grievance Committee will have 10 working days to complete its deliberation. The recommendations of the committee are to be presented in writing to the appropriate vice president within three working days after the completion of the deliberations. A decision and supportive rationale shall be communicated in writing by the vice president to the principals, and to the chairperson of the Student Grievance Committee. Final Appeal The decision of the vice president may be appealed for final disposition to the President of the College. The decision of the President is final. Time Frame Any grievance a student has can be initiated at any time, but no later than 30 days after the start of the semester following the semester in which the problem arose. If a grievance arises in the Spring semester or during the Summer session, this means that the student must file the formal grievance, if any, no later than 30 days into the following Fall semester. Confidentiality Once a person files a grievance, either formally or informally, all matters pertaining to the grievance shall be kept confidential. All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of the grievance shall be filed with the Office of Student Services. Student grievance records, including but not limited to grievance, investigative records, hearing proceedings, decision rendered, student appeal, records of arbitration procedure, final decision and correspondence, will be retained for six years after the grievance is resolved, as dictated by the State Archives and Records Administration. At this time records will be destroyed. � Non-discrimination and Sexual Assault Prevention Orange County Community College is committed to ensuring equal employment, educational opportunity and equal access to services, programs and activities without regard to an individual�s race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, gender, pregnancy, gender identity, sexual orientation, predisposing genetic characteristics, marital status, veteran status, military status, domestic violence victim status or ex-offender status.

The Center is staffed by professionals who work from a developmental perspective to help students clarify their academic and career goals, identify obstacles, and explore available resources for achieving those goals. Services are offered at both the Middletown and Newburgh campuses. Academic Advising Academic advising at SUNY Orange is designed to facilitate student learning, development and success by collaborating with students to develop and implement meaningful and attainable educational plans. The College recognizes that academic advising is vital to the educational process and student success, and offers a thorough advising program that is coordinated by the Advising and Counseling Center in conjunction with the academic departments. Academic advising is an intentional educational process that guides students in the development, implementation and achievement of educational, career and life plans. Effective advising includes: assisting students to develop meaningful and attainable goals, make informed decisions and effectively use college resources; providing accurate and timely information about SUNY Orange programs, classes, resources, services, policies and procedures, as well as transfer and career opportunities; developing an understanding of the college experience and curriculum; facilitating students� self-sufficiency; and fostering students� intellectual and personal development toward academic success and lifelong learning. Based on a student�s area of study, an academic advisor is assigned to assist students in developing and meeting their academic goals. Advisors work collaboratively with students in an intentional educational process to assist in the development, implementation and achievement of educational, career and life plans. � Declared Students: Students are assigned an advisor, often a faculty member within their major department, who will help guide them through the requirements and opportunities within their chosen field of study. � Undeclared Students: An advisor will guide students in developing academic and career goals, and these students may also derive benefit from the major and career exploration resources available in the Office of Career and Internship Services. � Developmental Students: Individualized attention is provided to students who, based on the assessment test, are taking courses to prepare them for their major course of study. Transfer Advising The Advising and Counseling Center assists students with the transfer process by helping them understand how to: go about selecting a transfer institution; the transfer process and the SUNY transfer guarantee; and how to find information about the application requirements and process, and appropriate courses for their institution of choice. The Center also provides transfer workshops and arranges visitations by 4-year transfer representatives from a variety of institutions throughout the year. During College Transfer Days in the fall semester, the Advising and Counseling Center invites approximately 90 public and private college and university representatives to campus to meet and discuss their programs with students. As members of the New York State Transfer and Articulation Association, the Advising and Counseling Center has developed contacts with many of the four-year colleges and universities where a majority of SUNY Orange students transfer to complete their undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. These relationships are instrumental in helping guide students, and careful planning can streamline the transfer process to their college of choice. The Advising and Counseling Center will assist students with this process by helping them understand how to: go about selecting a transfer institution; the transfer Advising and Counseling/Student Services process and the SUNY transfer guarantee; and how to find information about the application requirements and process, and appropriate courses for their institution of choice. All New York residents who transfer directly from a SUNY or CUNY two-year college with an A.A. or A.S. degree are guaranteed admission to a four-year SUNY College for full-time study. The transfer guarantee becomes effective if a student is denied admission at all four-year college choices. Please refer to www.suny.edu/student for applications, and important eligibility and deadline requirements. Placement Test Advising All new college applicants are required to complete the placement test prior to registering unless they have been granted a waiver based on previous college-level course work. The test determines appropriate course placement to correspond to the student's skill level, and students who do not hold a valid H. S. diploma or G.E.D. from an accredited high school must meet minimum requirements to be academically eligible for financial aid. Using these placements, students will begin classes at a level where they are most likely to succeed. Advisors are available to discuss how the results of the placement test fit into a student�s academic plans. Contact the Advising and Counseling Center: 845-341-4070 in Middletown, or Student Services Central: 845-341-9502 in Newburgh. Students who have a disability and wish to request special accommodations must make arrangements with the Office of Disability Services prior to the test: Middletown: 845-341�4077; Newburgh: 845 341-9034. Veterans Affairs The College�s Veterans Affairs Certifying Official, located in the Advising and Counseling Center, provides benefit information, enrollment certification and support services to meet the needs of military veteran students and their dependents.

This College-issued e-mail account will be designated as the student�s official e-mail address when administrative and academic departments need to communicate with students. College Responsibility The College is responsible for communicating with students in a timely and accurate way about changes in policies, procedures and deadlines that affect them. The College will select the most appropriate method (mail, telephone, e-mail) to convey pertinent information to specific groups of students. In some cases, e-mail may be used exclusively. Routine announcements, administrative and academic dates and deadlines, and information of a general nature will typically only be sent by e-mail. Student Responsibility Students are responsible for receiving, reading, responding to and complying with official e-mail communications sent by the College. Because information may be time-sensitive, students are encouraged to check their e-mail regularly (daily, several times weekly) throughout the semester. Students who opt to redirect their @sunyorange.edu e-mail account to another personal e-mail account do so at their own risk. The College is not responsible for e-mail that is not delivered to a forwarded address or for spam filters that may block e-mail messages. The student�s failure to receive or read e-mail communications does not constitute an excuse for missing College communications or College deadlines.

Developmental Education All newly admitted students are required to take the Placement Assessment test in reading, writing and mathematics. Performance on this computerized assessment determines the student�s proficiency in these areas and allows SUNY Orange to place students in classes that correspond with the student�s demonstrated skill level. A student may be required to take developmental courses based on their placement results. In some instances, developmental courses are prerequisites to college-level courses. In all cases, students must complete their required developmental courses. SUNY Orange offers a variety of developmental courses for students who need to strengthen their basic skills. Students must follow specific academic policies related to these courses. The reading, writing and math assessment tests may be re-taken, only prior to attendance in classes, with the approval of the appropriate department chairperson, (i.e., chairperson of the English Department for reading and writing, chairperson of the Mathematics Department for math) or director of Advising and Counseling. The following developmental courses are offered at the College. Developmental Writing: WRT 020 English as a Second Language (ESL) Writing WRT 030 Basic Writing Skills 1 WRT 040 Basic Writing Skills 2 ENG 101 and ENG 091 Freshman English 1 with Support Module Developmental Reading: RDG 060 and RDG 061 ESL Reading with Support Module RDG 070 Reading and Study Skills 1 RDG 080 Reading and Study Skills 2 Developmental Math: MAT 010 Developmental Arithmetic MAT 020 Developmental Algebra Students placed in developmental writing and/or reading courses must be enrolled in these courses during every semester of attendance until they receive a grade of �DVP� in these courses. This passing grade must be received in these courses prior to having attempted a total of 16 non-developmental credits from the time of assessment. Students placed in developmental math courses must complete these courses, even though there may not be a specific math requirement in their curriculum. If students have not successfully completed these courses (MAT 010 and MAT 020) by the time they have attempted 24 non-developmental credits, they must enroll in these courses every semester until they receive a grade of �DVP.� Grades of �DVP� must be received in all developmental courses into which students have been placed prior to applying for graduation. Units earned from developmental courses are institutional in nature; they are not applicable to the 60 or more semester hours of credit required for an Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science or any of the certificate programs. Students who are enrolled in developmental courses may receive financial aid if they meet income eligibility requirements and have gone through the College�s regular admission process. Financial aid will pay for required course work towards a student�s degree or certificate. Developmental courses are considered required course work.

Spring 2012 Learning Resources The Writing Consultancy Project SUNY Orange�s Writing Consultancy Project�s goal is to help students master their occupational and professional writing and to promote writing across all academic disciplines. Sponsored by the English Department, the project provides writing consultants to specific academic and career programs. The consultant works with the instructor and the students in applying and transferring key writing skills learned in Freshman English 1 to their program-specific and professional writing situations. These consultants teach the students through program-specific technical writing modules, special workshops and individualized conferences. Students are provided a computer-equipped classroom/lab facility (Technical Writing Lab, Bio-Tech Room 260) where much of the individualized instruction takes place. This lab is the site for required course-related work and for drop-in use by students in Writing Consultancy-related courses. Participating programs and departments whose students earn academic credit by taking ENG 160 and ENG 161 Technical Writing Modules are: � Telecommunications � Human Services � Occupational Therapy Assistant � Laboratory Technology In addition, the Writing Consultancy offers special instructional services to other programs such as nursing, with its new nursing and writing courses, dental hygiene, criminal justice, and anatomy and physiology. The Writing Consultancy also conducts special writing workshops for any instructor and class requesting them. A nationally recognized, award-winning inter�disciplinary program, the Writing Consultancy Project was selected as an Outstanding College Occupational Education Program in New York State. 1t is also featured in the Jossey-Bass publication, �Writing Across the Curriculum in Two Year College Vocational/Career Programs: New Directions for Community Colleges.� English as a Second Language For incoming students whose primary language is not English and who demonstrate the need to improve their English, the College offers: Course WRT 020, English as a Second Language. Through the formal placement process, students may be required to take WRT 020 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.

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. 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 (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.

In order to meet this requirement; all non-clinical courses should be completed prior to starting this part-time program.The day program is two academic years in length if pursued on a full time basis. Because of the intense nature of the Nursing Program, the student may find that part-time study is more appropriate. Nursing Readmission Students who withdraw from, fail or receive a grade below "C" in any one of the required nursing courses may apply for readmission to the Nursing program. A student is only allowed to do this one time. Additionally the program is to be completed within three years from the start of the first nursing course. A student seeking readmission must meet the program requirements in effect at the date of re-entry. Readmission is neither guaranteed nor is it an automatic process. Students requesting to be considered for readmission to Nursing 1 are to do so through the admissions office of the college. Students requesting to be considered for readmission to Nursing 2, 3, 4 or 5 must inform the nursing department chairperson in writing. Written requests must be submitted by June 1st for the Fall semester and September 1st for the Spring semester. Prior to readmission, students are required to successfully complete a special bridge course.

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.

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.
