Early College High SchoolLorain City Schools and Elyria City Schools have collaborated with Lorain County Community College to develop the Lorain County Early College High School. To date, Early College High School enrolls students from each district who serve as the core of the program. Students from Lorain County school districts may participate in the Early College High School program through open enrollment pro-videdbytheLorainCitySchoolDistrict.

Early College High School is an innovative learning environment located on the LCCC campus. Early College is designed to inspire and motivate students who have potential to be the first in their families to graduate from college.

The vision of this Early College High School stipulates that enrollment priority be extended to those students who represent the firstgenerationintheirfamilytoattendcollege.Beginningintheninth grade year, students participate in a combined high school and college experience. Students enroll in courses at LCCC and receive dual credit for high school requirements and for college credit. These credits may be used at LCCC or for transfer to the college or university of choice after high school graduation.

Placement assessmentMostapplicantsareREQUIREDtoparticipateinaplacementassess-ment process. The placement assessment includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of reading, language usage and mathematical skills.

It is the policy of LCCC that applicants (exclusive of English as a Second Language (ESL) students) who achieve placement assess-ment scores of 30 or above in both language usage and reading skills are eligible to enroll in credit courses at the college. Applicants with scoresof28-29oneitherlanguageusageorreadingskillsmaybeadmitted on probation, and are limited to six (6) credit hours per semester until a grade point average of 2.0 has been achieved in twelve (12) credit hours of graded courses.

Scores of 0-27 on either language usage or reading skills make an applicant ineligible to enroll for credit courses. Those who score in this range will be advised to seek alternative educational/training options. They may be retested after one year.

Situations involving a wide variance between or among scores will be addressed on an individual basis. Exceptions to the placement assessment include but are not limited to:• Astudentwhohascompletedanassociate’sdegreeorhigher

Prior learning assessmentManystudentscometoLCCCwithpriorlearningexperiencescom-parable in some ways to learning achieved in college classrooms. The key component of any prior experience is not the experience itself, but the learning that has been achieved. This learning must parallel the learning outcomes of LCCC courses for faculty to recommend that credit be awarded. No more than 30 semester credit hours can be accumulated in prior learning credits, exclusive of transfer credits.

A number of mechanisms exist for the consideration of prior learning assessment.• Coursestakenatothercolleges

Portfolio assessment (Documents, Performances, Auditions, Demonstrations)Students whose work experience or other life experiences have enabled them to acquire knowledge and skills comparable to those taught in LCCC courses may petition an academic division for the opportunity to document such learning by portfolio (documents, performances, auditions and demonstrations) to be reviewed by faculty for the pos-sible awarding of credit or for accelerated sequencing. To determine appropriate courses, students should consult the divisions for the courses of interest and follow the procedures indicated. Some agree-ments between professional academies and LCCC exist within College divisions. Consult the individual academic divisions for details.

Non-collegiate trainingSome programs offered by business, government, industry or professional organizations may be considered equivalent to college-level courses and credit may be awarded. The student must provide official transcripts or certificates of completion, and a request for non-traditional credit to the academic divisions. The appropriate division faculty, determining whether credit will be granted, will usetheNationalGuidetoEducationalCreditforTrainingProgramspublished by the American Council on Education and other docu-mentation as necessary.

Articulation agreements for transfer

LCCC seeks to secure agreements with upper division institutions of higher education to facilitate successful transfer of its graduates. Agreements have been achieved with the following institutions: AshlandUniversity,Baldwin-WallaceCollege,BowlingGreenStateUniversity,ClevelandStateUniversity,MyersUniversity,GMIEngineeringandManagementInstitute(Detroit,MI),KentStateUniversity,OberlinCollege,OhioNorthernUniversity(Ada,OH),OhioStateUniversity,Tri-StateUniversity(Angola,IN),UniversityofAkron,UniversityofToledo,andYoungstownStateUniversity.DetailsabouttheseagreementsareavailableintheEnrollmentServices division.

Responsibilities of students

In order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability of transfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a course of study that will meet the requirements of a degree program at the receiv-ing institution. Specifically, students should identify an institution and major to which they desire to transfer early in their collegiate studies. Furthermore, students should determine if there are lan-guage requirements or any special course requirements that can be met during the first or second year. This will enable students to plan and pursue a course of study that will articulate with the receiving institution’smajor.Studentsareencouragedtoseekfurtherinforma-tion regarding transfer from both their advisors and the college or university to which they plan to transfer.

Appeal procedure for transfer of credit

Lorain County Community College desires to resolve student inqui-ries in an expeditious, fair and amicable manner.

If a student believes that his or her credit was not transferred properly, he or she is encouraged to discuss the situation informally with the associate transcript evaluator. If the inquiry is resolved by the parties, the matter is deemed closed.

If the inquiry is not resolved at this level, the student may request an appeal by the enrollment services dean.

1. The enrollment services dean may choose to convene the parties and all necessary documentation (transcripts,



Enrollment

etc.) involved in an effort to resolve the appeal during the informal process. The enrollment services dean must provide a written response to the student and the associate transcript evaluator within seven (7) business days of the meeting. If the appeal is not resolved at this level the student may initiate the formal written appeal procedure.

2. The formal appeal procedure begins when a written appeal is submitted to the provost/vice president for academic and learner services by the student. The statement of appeal shouldbepost-markedbyorreceivedbytheOfficeoftheProvost/VPACSwithinten(10)businessdaysofthedateof the letter from the enrollment services dean. The vice president will review the appeal, may choose to meet with the student and/or other parties as applicable, and respond in writing to all parties concerning the disposition of the appeal within ten (10) business days.

3. FinalReview-ShouldthestudentdesiretorequestaFinalReviewofthedecisionoftheprovost/vicepresidentforacademic and learner services, the student may submit a signed statement of appeal within ten (10) business days of the date of the letter from the vice president to the president.

Grade optionsSatisfactory/unsatisfactory

Certain courses (including some remedial courses and some practical) are graded S/U only and are so indicated in the course descriptions. “S” means satisfactory and indicates that course credit was earned. “U” means unsatisfactory and indicates no credit was earned. A student may also elect the S/U grading option in no more than three courses for the associate degree and not more than one course a semester. Any S/U hours beyond this limit will not count toward graduation. The S/U grade option must be declared at Enrollment Services by Friday of the eighth scheduled week of the semester.Otherthanaphysicaleducationcourse,astudentmustconfirm S/U availability and get the signature of the appropriate academic division director.

AuditStudents choosing to audit a course will pay instruction, general and any special fees, but receive no academic credit or quality assignment grade. The student must attend and participate in class, laboratories, if applicable and examinations. Courses taken on this basis are not included in the computation of cumulative grade point average and are not applicable to graduation requirements or other purposes requiring completion of a course under credit status. Certain courses may not be available under audit status.

Students may file an audit request form in Enrollment Services at the time of registration but must file no later than Friday of the sec-ond week of the semester in which the course is being taken. The audit option cannot be reversed to credit once the semester is in session.

Students are cautioned that changing a credit course to audit sta-tusmayadverselyaffectfinancialaidbenefits,veterans’benefitsandgraduation status. Students should inquire at the appropriate office regarding potential impact to benefits and/or graduation status.

Audits for credit courses offered differently than the traditional semester calendar will be calculated proportionately to and consis-tent with institutional policy.

WithdrawalsThe last day to withdraw from a regularly scheduled semester class is Friday of the twelfth week of the semester. A withdrawal form must be completed, signed and submitted to Enrollment Services. Withdrawal from the College consists of withdrawing from all enrolled courses. Students who withdraw from all courses cease to be LCCC students for the semester from which they have withdrawn.

A student who stops attending any class without following the withdrawal procedure continues to be enrolled. For these classes a grade will be assigned and no refund of instructional or of any other fees will be considered.

Withdrawals from credit courses offered differently than the traditional semester calendar will be calculated proportionately to and consistent with institutional policy.

A faculty member and a student may agree to enter into a contract whereby a grade of incomplete (I) is reported for a specific course. A contract between the faculty member and student must be negoti-ated and signed prior to the final examination and the reporting of a grade of “I”.

Conditions under which an incomplete contract can be formed: The student was unable to complete the course due to circumstanc-es and conditions beyond her/his control and there is a reasonable possibility that the student will be able to complete the course requirements within the contracted time.

Conditions of the contract: The student must meet the condi-tions of the agreed upon and signed contract.

A. In such cases the student and faculty will sign a contract stating materials and activities the student must successfully complete and the date by which the student must complete those.

B. Facultymemberwillsetthedatetocompletethecourserequirements considering the work to be done, her/his professional schedule and the schedule of the student.

C. If the student does not complete the course requirements within the contracted time, an “F” will be recorded for the course in the permanent record of the student.

Forgiveness policyThe College recognizes that some students may not be able to over-come previously earned poor records in order to meet new career and educational goals and/or to meet graduation requirements. Academic forgiveness is applicable once, and only once, for currently enrolled studentswhohavecompletedatleastfifteen(15)credithoursofcourseworkatLCCCwitha2.0cumulativeGPAorhigherforallcoursework completed since the last term in which forgiveness is sought. The student may petition in writing to the Committee on ScholasticStandingbycompletingthe“ForgivenessofGrades”peti-tiontohavegradesof“D”or“F”forgivenandnotcomputedinthegrade point average and have the word “forgiven” substituted for the

former grade(s). The student may seek forgiveness for up to ten (10) semesterorfifteen(15)quartercredithours.

The course(s) for which the student is seeking forgiveness must not be needed for her/his new career or educational goals. These “forgiven” grades will be included when computing the cumulative point hour average for graduation with honors. Students with previ-ously earned LCCC certificates or associate degrees are not eligible to apply for forgiveness.

Repeating coursesA student may repeat a course in which less than a “C” grade was earned. If the subsequent course was taken at LCCC, the grade received for the repeated course will thereafter be substituted for the formergradeincalculatingthestudent’scumulativeGPA.However,all original grades will be included when computing cumulative grade point average for graduation with honors. Courses in which a grade of “C” or better was earned may be repeated for audit only. No credit will be awarded. A course repeated will be considered as any other course in determining the credit hour load to be carried by the student in a semester.

Studentsusingveterans’benefitsmayrepeatcoursesundercer-taincircumstances.RefertoVeterans’StandardsofProgress(onpage28)orcontacttheVeterans’CertifyingTeaminEnrollmentServicesfor further information.

Graduation requirementsThe College will award one diploma per student for an earned associ-ate of arts or associate of science degree. Any student may pursue any number of areas of concentration in the associate of arts or associate of science degree area, but can receive no more than one associate of arts and one associate of science diploma from LCCC.

Appeals must be received nolaterthansix(6)weeksafterthestudent’sdateofgraduation.

Academic probation and dismissalA student is placed on academic probation when her/his cumulative grade point average falls below the established minimums, which follow:

Credit Hours Attempted Cumulative GPA 0-29semesterhours 1.60 30-44semesterhours 1.75 45-upsemesterhours 2.00

A student attending or who has attended another college or university and who is placed on probation by that college or uni-

versity may be placed on probation if admitted to LCCC. She/he will remainonprobationuntilmeetingtheminimumcumulativeGPAREQUIREDforthenumberofcredithoursattemptedatLCCC.

Academic probation will require a student to reduce her/his course load and to register at the next regular semester registration for not more than twelve (12) credit hours of coursework; and not more than six (6) credit hours of work in a regular eight (8) week summersemesterorone(1)classinafive(5)weeksummerterm.

Dismissals and reinstatement

The committee on scholastic standing has set a standard of scholastic achievement that every LCCC student must reach. Each semester, the Registraraddressestheproblemofmarginalacademicachievementand recommends students to be dismissed who have attempted at least10semestercredithours.Astudent,whofailstoearna1.5GPA,after attempting 10 semester hours, is subject to dismissal, as are those who have been on academic probation two or more semesters (atleast20credithourscumulativelyattempted)andwhoseGPAisconsiderablybelowtheminimumGPAREQUIREDtoberemovedfromprobation.EstablishedminimumGPAsfordismissalare: 0-29credithoursattempted 1.50 30-44credithoursattempted 1.65 45-upcredithoursattempted 1.80Inaddition,theRegistrarreviewseachstudent’scoursewith-

A student, notified of academic dismissal by the enrollment services dean the first time, may be readmitted after an absence of two semesters subject to the recommendation of a college counselor, which may include portions of the placement assessment process; i.e., testing or retesting.

Any student who has been readmitted to the College after the first academic dismissal will be expected to demonstrate solid evi-dence of academic advancement. Failure to do so will result in a second academic dismissal. A student who has been academically dismissed the second time may be readmitted only after consultation with, and approval from, the Enrollment Services dean, and only after an absence of one calendar year.

Any student who has been readmitted to the College after the second dismissal will be expected to demonstrate solid evidence of academic advancement. Failure to do so will result in a third aca-demic dismissal. A student who has been academically dismissed for the third time can request readmission only by writing to the Provost/VPLAS.Thiscanonlybedoneafteranabsenceoftwocal-endaryears.TheProvost/VicePresidentmayormaynotapprovetherequest.Restrictionswillapplyiftherequestisgranted.Therearenoadditional provisions for reinstatement after the fourth dismissal.

Transfer students who are on probation or dismissed from other



Enrollment

colleges/universities will be subject to the same reduced course load limitation policy that applies to LCCC students on probation.

A student is subject to dismissal from LCCC for social miscon-duct and academic dishonesty at any time, regardless of her or his academic standing. The procedures for dismissal due to social mis-conduct and academic dishonesty are outlined in the policy section under Code of Student Conduct (refer to the online catalog web site for Code of Student Conduct).

Non-academic dismissal

The faculty directly associated with any program offered at LCCC retains the prerogative to recommend dismissal of a student to the CommitteeonScholasticStanding,regardlessofthestudent’scumu-lative grade point average. Valid supporting evidence that the student lacks a particular personal or professional characteristic and/or abil-ityREQUIRED,mustaccompanytherecommendationfordismissal.

A student dismissed from the program in which she/he was enrolled is encouraged to confer with a College counselor before enteringanotherprogramofferedattheCollege.ReadmissiontotheCollege is dependent upon policy and procedure as well as circum-stances outlined in the Code of Student Conduct (refer to the online catalog Web site for Code of Student Conduct).

Academic and employment workload

Students who are employed more than twenty (20) hours per week might reduce their class load in accordance with their workload. College level study generally requires at least two hours of study for each hour of in-class time. A suggested schedule for balance is: Employment Academic Work Load Work Load Over40hours 8credithours 30-40hours 9-11credithours 20-30 hours 12-14 credit hours Under20hours 15+credithours

Academic Foundations DivisionCollege students often need support in order to be successful in their chosen fields of study. The purpose of the Academic Foundations Divisionistoassiststudentswithinstructionalsupport.

Academic foundation courses are provided for students who need to refresh or strengthen academic skills. Courses are available in mathematics, English/writing, reading, and study skills. A com-plete listing of these courses appears in the course description section of2011-2012AcademicRequirements.Onthebasisofplacementassessment results and high school records, entering students may beREQUIREDtotakeoneormoreacademicfoundationcourses.

Academic foundation courses carry college credit. They are includedinthecomputationofastudent’scumulativegradepointaverage and count toward financial aid requirements; however, they do not count toward degree requirements, and are not transferable to another college or university.

Honors programStudents who have outstanding academic records may enroll in LCCC’sHonorsProgram.Specialseminarsandcourses,designedto

challenge students, are offered in English, history, philosophy and biology. Transcripts of students who successfully complete these courses will reflect the Honors designation.

Satisfactory academic progress requirementsStudents receiving federal financial aid are subject to satisfactory academic progress requirements, which are governed by the united state department of education. The basic requirements of students receiving federal financial aid are to successfully complete classes (completion rate) within a pre-determined time period (time frame). Continued receipt of federal financial aid will be determined by the student’ssuccessfulcompletionofclassesandprogresstowardsdegree completion or transfer.

Each semester a recipient of Title IV financial aid (i.e., Federal PellGrant,federalworkstudy,FederalStaffordLoanprogram,Fed-eralParentalLoantoUndergraduateStudents,FederalSupplementalOpportunityGrant)mustcompleteapredeterminedpercentageofthe credit hours for which the recipient originally registered. W (withdrawal),I(incomplete),NR(notrecorded),U(unsatisfactory),and F (failure) are considered not completed. A repeated course with agradeofD,F,I,U,NR,orWisconsiderednotcompleted.

Completion RateThe minimum completion rate is:

Number of Semester REQUIRED Minimum Hours Attempted Completion Rate 0-29 50% 30-44 60% 45ormore 70%

The completion rate is calculated by dividing the completed hours into the attempted hours. A recipient will be determined ineligible for subsequent aid if the recipient does not complete the above minimum required percentage of semester credit hours for each range of completed semester credit hours. A recipient may regaineligibilitybycompleting,attherecipient’sownexpense,therequired number of credit hours needed to meet the minimum required completion rate for the next semester. This satisfactory progress requirement includes all academic terms a recipient has attended LCCC.

A student may repeat a course in which less than a “C” grade was earned. If the subsequent course was taken at LCCC, the grade received for the repeated course will thereafter be substituted for theformergradeincalculatingthestudentscumulativeGPA.Therepeated courses will count toward the attempted hours in the com-pletion rate analysis.

Developmental education courseworkA student enrolled in an eligible program for federal financial aid is permitted to attempt a maximum of 30 academic foundations courses during their enrollment at LCCC for payment under federal financial aid. The academic foundations courses will be counted in the grade point average calculation (except those using a pass/fail grading system), completion rate and towards the maximum time-frame. Academic foundations courses are provided for students who need to refresh or strengthen academic skills. Courses are available in mathematics, English/writing, reading, and study skills.

Time FrameThe maximum time frame in which a student must complete his/her educationalprogrammustbenolongerthan150%ofthepublishedcredit hour length of the educational program.

A recipient may be eligible to complete more than one associate degree and/or certificate program at LCCC pending approval through the appeal process from the satisfactory progress review committee. There is no limit to how many times a student can change majors as this is evaluated through the appeal process on a case-by-case basis. An evaluation from the LCCC trans-fercenterwillbecompleted,andthe150%time-framepolicywillbeapplied to the remaining credit hours required to complete additional degrees. The time-frame policy includes all academic terms a recipi-ent has attended LCCC plus, all transferred credit hours.

The minimum grade point average for continued receipt of federally-funded financial aid mirrors and defers to the academic policy established and enforced by the committee on admissions and scholastic standing. Students on academic probation will continue to be eligible for Title IV aid. The dismissal policy can be found in the2011-2012AcademicRequirementsintheenrollmentsection.

It encourages faculty recognition of comparable and compatible learning experiences and expectations across institutions. It also encourages students to complete “units” of educational experience as they progress [e.g. Transfer Assurance Guides,TransferModules,associateandbaccalaureatedegrees.]

Service LearningService learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates community service with academic instruction while focusing on critical thinking, reflection and civic responsibility. Service learn-ing provides students with opportunities to make a difference in their community through a service project that enhances what they are learning in the classroom. Students who participate in service learning during their time at Lorain County Community College are honored by a certificate of completion and a recognition medallion to wear during commencement.

A course that is determined to have a substantial community service component that directly connects to learning objectives and includes structured reflection is considered a service learning course. Service learning courses are defined through three designations. A “Service Learning Class” is the designation received when every student in the course is required to participate in the service learning experi-ence. A “Service Learning Component Class” is the designation received when a student may choose to opt into the service learning experience. A “Service Learning Course” is the designation received when every instructor teaching the course uses service learning as a teaching and learning strategy. Students interested in enrolling in a service learning course would seek out the particular service learning section/instructor or opt into a course with a service learning requirement.

PleasecontactEmploymentandCareerServicesat(440)366-4076for additional information or for a list of Service Learning Courses.

International studies focusTheLorainCountyCommunityCollege’sinternationalstudiesfocussupports and encourages international area studies focusing on thematic international units across the campus including the inter-national aspects of business, education, gender, health and languages, and works closely with the academic divisions.Students intending to graduate with an international studies focus must complete all of the degree requirements for their particular program and the international studies focus requirements. Students satisfy the international studies focus by completing a minimum of 24 credit hours in courses that are designated as international or global.

A course that is determined to have at least 30 percent of its content from material or resources found outside the United States is considered an international or global course. The courses that meet this definition are listed below. Those special offerings, along with the automatically international courses are identified in the class sched-ulewitha“G”followingthecoursenumber(e.g.CMMC151G).Anycombination of these two types of international courses adding up to a minimum of 24 credit hours satisfies the international studies focus requirement.

Students may be able to satisfy the international studies focus without additional credit hours – by selecting transfer module and/or program requirements that have been designated as having inter-national content. Students are advised to consult the College website, published schedules, a division representative, counseling or the Enrollment Services, prior to enrolling.

Associate of Arts Degree with Specialization in International StudiesThe associate of arts degree with specialization in international studies is primarily the lower-division coursework for a business administration degree in international studies. This multidisci-plinary program prepares students for the global environment, developing sensitivity for other cultures and appreciation of global interdependencies. It is also an excellent foundation for careers in the international arena in fields such as government service, inter-national banking and finance, travel and tourism, and careers with internationalorganizationsandcorporations.Baccalaureatepro-grams in international studies commonly require students to select a specialization either in a global region (such as Southeast Asia stud-ies) or a discipline focus (such as political science).

In the process of completing degree requirements, students seeking the associate of arts with specialization in international studies are required to complete at least 24 credit hours covering all three of the following areas:• INTL151andINTL152,PrinciplesofInternationalStudiesI

and II
