Technical College of the Rockies Catalog 2021-2022 5

About UsThe Technical College of the Rockies (TCR) is a public insti-tution governed by the Delta County Joint School District #50J Board of Education. Funding for our programs comes from federal, state, and local sources. We are designated by the Colorado State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education as the agent for postsecondary vocational training in Western Colorado. Our service area includes Delta, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Montrose, Ouray, and San Miguel counties. We offer career and technical educa-tion programs approved and/or accredited by the Colorado Community College System. We are accredited nationally by the Council on Occupational Education. Program approvals and accreditation documents are available for review in the Administration Office.

Our mission is educational excellence. We will deliver high quality career training by enhancing technical and employability skills, embracing diverse cultures, providing a quality learning environment, and support the well-be-ing of our students, and the community. We provide career and technical certificate programs and courses in health, trades, technical, and business fields at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Our programs are designed to train students for entry-level employment, to provide retraining, or to upgrade the job skills of our students.

We provide practical training to assist students in meeting the needs of employers in business and industry. Training programs are designed to enhance the employability of our students by helping them develop life and job skills and work habits. Assistance in upgrading basic educational skills is also available.

All of our faculty members are qualified instructors in their respective occupational fields. They are credentialed through the Colorado State Board of Community Colleges and Occupational Education. Certified instructors in licensed programs are also approved by the State Licensing Board for their respective occupation.

WebsiteStudents can find information about Technical College of the Rockies on-line at www.tcr.edu. Our website hosts a current description of programs and services available to students, and a calendar of activities. Students may apply for enrollment on-line or in person.

Institutional LiabilityTechnical College of the Rockies disclaims liability for any kind of injury, illness, or for loss of or damage to personal property brought on to school property. Students are expected to provide their own protection for such losses. Every reasonable effort is made by school authorities to provide a safe environment in which to work and learn. Students should carry their own medical insurance.

Reporting an incidentBecause of the small size of our school, no campus secu-rity personnel are employed. Security cameras are located throughout the campus and campus security is considered the responsibility of all TCR employees. Please use the Incident Report form found at: http://www.tcr.edu/files/incident-report-form.pdf and submit to Administration.

Students in need of assistance or wishing to report a crime should contact their instructor or any other school employee. The appropriate law enforcement agency (Delta County Sheriff’s Department) will be contacted as neces-sary. If no school employee is immediately available, the student should contact or call the Delta County Sheriff’s office at 874-2000 or dial 911 for assistance.

In the event of a crime or security problem on campus, the Delta County Sheriff will be contacted to investigate or aid in the situation. If charges are filed against a current TCR student, the student may be suspended until charges are cleared. If warranted, TCR may expel a student convicted of a hate crime or sexual assault.

Admission Policy and ProceduresOur open-door admission policy allows anyone 17 years of age or older, who has completed or left high school, and who has an occupational objective, to be considered for entrance into postsecondary career and technical programs. We admit qualified students on a “first- come, first-served” basis according to date of application and space availability. When programs are filled, additional applicants are placed on an alternate list. Late enroll-ments are accepted (with Instructor/Coordinator approval) through the first week of class in most programs. Technical College of the Rockies offers Title IV Aid to those who have a high school diploma or equivalency.

Students who were enrolled in a postsecondary program prior to the current term, and who did not complete their training, will be registered as new students. All financial obligations to TCR from previous terms must be paid in full prior to program continuance or re-enrollment.

We accept high school students in our secondary career and technical programs and in some of our postsecondary career and technical programs. High school students may enroll as part of their high school schedule by contacting their counselor and completing an application. High school students will earn credits toward high school graduation, and a TCR Certificate in completion of a program.

All incoming students are subject to assessment testing to determine skill level. There is a fee for these tests.

We do not have any residency requirements for admission to TCR, however, any student who does not qualify as a Colorado resident must pay higher, non-resident tuition fees. (See Fees.)

RegistrationStudents who want to apply for a career or technical program at Technical College of the Rockies must complete the following steps.

1. Submit a quick application, located at www.tcr.edu/admissions/quick-application.php. The application must be completed in full. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

2. Submit official transcript(s) from a previously attended high school, recognized postsecond-ary institution, or GED results, if applicable.

3. Meet assessment or entrance test requirements for the program to which you are applying (see below).

4. Some programs may have additional entrance requirements. Please refer to admissions for more information. (see website for details)

5. Submit a completed financial aid application (if applicable). (See the Financial Aid section for specific financial aid information.)

6. After you have submitted all required paperwork you will be informed of your acceptance for admission at Technical College of the Rockies you will be noti-fied of the next steps in the registration process.

Tuition and FeesTechnical College of the Rockies has four tuition rates. The General rate is $96 per credit hour for Colorado residents and $192 per credit hour for out of state tuition. The base tuition rate for the Law Enforcement Academy is $124 per credit hour for Colorado residents and $248 per credit hour for out of state tuition. The base tuition rate for the

Emergency Medical Services and Nursing Aide programs is $102 per credit hour for Colorado residents and $204 per credit hour for out of state tuition. The base tuition rate for the Practical Nursing program is $150 per credit hour for Colorado residents and $300 per credit hour for out of state tuition.

Note: Any remedial or makeup work will be charged by the full credit hour at the tuition rate for that program and is not covered by financial aid.

Under the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes, 1973, 23-7-102, a person must have been domiciled with intent to stay in Colorado for one full calendar year prior to school enrollment to be entitled to the resident tuition rate. Establishment of residency requires the adoption of Colorado as a place of fixed and permanent habitation.

It involves not only personal presence, but also concur-rently the intent to make that residence the true and actual home. Applicants may be required to submit additional documentation substantiating a claim of resident eligibility for tuition purposes.

Any student who willfully gives false or misleading infor-mation about residency status for tuition classification purposes will be subject to retroactive assessment of nonresident tuition and disciplinary and/or legal action.

All tuition and fees are due and payable at the time of registration. A letter of authorization from a public agency that accepts the responsibility to pay tuition and fees may be accepted in lieu of the cash payment. Registration is not complete until the student’s obligation is met in full. Exceptions to this policy may be made by the adminis-tration. No student will be allowed to register for current classes until all financial obligations from previous terms are cleared.

Some programs require the purchase of books, tools, supplies, or equipment. Most books and supplies are avail-able for purchase through TCR. Instructors will provide students with a list of any additional items that are required and are not available through theTCR. Books and supplies purchased from TCR are generally not refundable. For consideration, items must be in new condition and/or original packaging. Refunds are considered on a case by case basis by administration.

The following are additional fees that may be assessed:

• ABMP Membership for Massage Therapy – Nonrefundable

Applications for financial aid programs are available from Student Services. Visit our website at http://www.tcr.edu/admissions/financial-aid-information.php to view current grants, scholarships, and awards.

Return of Title IV FundsAny student on financial aid who officially or unofficially withdraws from classes before 60% of the semester is completed will have a Return of Title IV Funds completed within 30 days of their withdrawal. The first step is to determine the date that the student began the withdrawal process. TCR will use the earliest date determined for the withdrawal, either the date the student began the official withdrawal or the last date the student was in attendance for an unofficial withdrawal. To withdraw from a class or program the student must go to the Student Services Office to have an official withdrawal form completed. Until the official withdrawal form is completed the enrollment remains active with absences and grades recorded. TCR Programs are term-based programs; the return period is based upon the first day of the term through the end of the semester. (Please note that programs sometimes have different term dates, please refer to the school calendar you received when you registered.)

A Return of Title IV calculates the percentage of federal aid earned by the student. After the calculation, the Financial Aid Office will notify the student in writing of the percent-age of aid earned, the amount of Title IV funds returned by the College on the student’s behalf, and the amount, if any, owed by the student to the U.S. Department of Education or the school. Students who owe a repayment are encour-aged to pay the amount in full at the Business Office. The Business Office then credits the funds to the appropriate account. However, if the student is unable to pay the full balance, they may sign a repayment contract which will allow the student to repay in monthly installments. (Note: If the amount owed by the student exceeds $50 and the student does not repay, they become ineligible for addi-tional Title IV funds at any educational institution.)

TCR will return Title IV funds in the following order, if appli-cable: 1) unsubsidized student loans, 2) subsidized student loans, 3) PLUS Loan, 4) Pell grants, 5) Federal Supplemental Educational grants.

Any student who drops after 60% of the semester is completed is considered to have earned their Title IV funds. Withdrawn students may be eligible for a Post- Withdrawal Disbursement. The Financial Aid Office will notify the student in writing if they are eligible for a Post- Withdrawal Disbursement. Students have 30 days to accept or reject this disbursement.

Payment RequirementsA student, by the act of registering, automatically incurs a financial obligation to Technical College of the Rockies. This obligation must be satisfied by appropriate payment. This means that a student who registered for one or more classes is obligated to pay the full amount of the tuition and fees whether or not the student attends class. Failure to pay tuition and fees may result in cancellation of a student’s registration. Unpaid accounts will be forwarded to a collec-tion agency that may impact the student’s credit rating and may result in additional collection fees, attorney fees, interest, or other costs. Technical College of the Rockies will not be able to register a student, provide semester grades, or final transcript to any student or former student who has any financial obligations.

Financial AidThe Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form completed by current and prospective college students (undergraduate and graduate) in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. This is the first step in determining eligibility for federal and state aid. www.studentaid.gov school code 014050.

regular tuition for the course. Students who are auditing a class are not required to take examinations and will not receive credit for the course.

Our programs are designed for entry-level positions and for upgrading employment skills. Detailed information about program and course transfer is available in individual program information packets.

Courses listed in the catalog are identified in terms of postsecondary credit hours leading to a certificate of completion. Any postsecondary institution wishing to do so may, at their discretion, accept work completed at TCR.

Any student who wants to transfer credit from TCR to another postsecondary institution should contact an advisor of the institution they wish to attend for specific details.

In most of our programs, a student earns one postsecond-ary credit for every 15 hours of lecture, 22.5 hours of lab, or 30 hours of clinic. In the nursing, medical assistant, and EMT programs, a student earns one postsecondary credit for every 15 hours of lecture, 22.5 of lab, or 45 hours of clinic. Grades are issued to students upon completion of each semester.

The following symbols will be used in awarding credit:

A= Excellent - 4

B= Above Average - 3

C= Average - 2

D= Below Average - 1

F= Unsatisfactory

W= Withdrawal

I= Incomplete

S= Satisfactory

P= Pass

The word TRANSFER will appear in place of a letter grade for students receiving credit for previous classes, training, or experience. A grade of “I” (Incomplete) is only given for work not completed due to a documented illness, acci-dent, or other unavoidable absence. A student receiving an Incomplete is responsible for completing the course requirements within the first ten school days of the follow-ing semester unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. Generally, if the Incomplete is not removed in this time, a letter grade of “F” will automatically be

Leave of AbsenceIn lieu of withdraw, a student can apply for a leave of absence in cases of illness, family crisis etc. Students must return to their program within 180 days to complete. Some programs may not fit this criteria.

Transfer/Challenge/Advanced PlacementSome of our programs allow students to meet up to 50% or more of the program’s certificate of completion by transfer, challenge, advanced placement, or any combination of the above. Some programs do not allow any of these options to meet certificate requirements. Licensed programs such as cosmetology and practical nursing may allow a greater percentage of the program’s requirements to be met by transfer, challenge, advanced placement, or a combination of the three. Students must still meet TCR’s competency requirements prior to being awarded a vocational certifi-cate. Any student who wants to transfer credits to TCR must furnish an official transcript and copy of the school catalog listing the course(s) to be transferred. A course outline may be required. The final decision on granting credit for previ-ous formal course work is at the discretion of the Student Services Office. Students must have a grade of “C” or higher for a course to be accepted in transfer.

Any student who has acquired occupational knowledge in their program area through previous education, work expe-rience, on-the-job training, or any means other than formal education may challenge any program. Some courses within a program do not provide challenge opportunities. Students who want to challenge a course must submit a complete application to challenge to the Student Services Office no later than the close of the first week of the term. A student who successfully completes the challenge process will be granted a vocational credit by examination for that course. Full credit will be recorded with a grade of “S” (Satisfactory). The cost for credit by examination will be the same as current resident tuition. No credit will be given to an unsuccessful challenge, and the student will be required to satisfactorily complete the course. A student may not challenge any course more than once.

TCR may allow advanced placement for a minimum amount of course work so that a student may enter a program at the appropriate level of instruction for their ability. Secondary students who wish to pursue advanced placement status should contact the Student Services Office.

We allow students to enroll in classes on an audit basis if space is available after regular enrollment has been completed. Any student interested in auditing a class must have the approval of TCR administration and must pay the

student will receive a full refund.

When a registered student drops a class, the following will occur:

• No refund will be given for fees and other obligations not retrievable by the institution. Other non-retriev-able fees are addressed in specific programs.

• A 100% refund, less specified non-refundable fees (see Tuition and Fees) if the student withdraws before the class/program start date.

• A 100% tuition refund, less a refund processing fee of 10% of tuition (not to exceed $100) if the student is enrolled full-time and withdraws prior to 15% of the course meetings.

• A 100% tuition refund, less a refund processing fee of 10 % of tuition (not to exceed $100) if the student is enrolled in a class 30 hours or more in length and withdraws prior to the second class meeting and within two days of the first class meeting.

• No refund will be given once 15% or more of the scheduled time for the class has elapsed.

• No refund will be given for classes less than 30 hours in length unless withdrawal takes place prior to the first class session.

• Records will not be released until all financial obligations to TCR are fulfilled.

• Allow two to three weeks for all refund checks to be processed.

• Books and supplies purchased from TCR are generally not refundable. For consideration, items must be in new condition and/or original packaging. Refunds are considered on a case by case basis by administration.

• The following additional information applies to students receiving financial aid:

− If a student is due a refund, any portion of that refund paid by financial aid will be returned to TCR’s financial aid account to be distributed to the proper local, state, or federal agency.

− A student who withdraws prior to the midpoint of the term and who received financial aid proceeds for expenses, can no longer consider the funds to be for educational purposes. A Return of Title IV Funds will be completed (see Financial Aid section).

− A student who withdraws after 60% of the term and who received financial aid proceeds

assigned.

A student’s grade point average (GPA) is a calculation of all of the work the student attempts. GPA is calculated by multiplying the grade points per credit hour by the credit hour value of the course attempted.

All students who attend one of the certificate programs at TCR must maintain “Satisfactory Academic Progress” in order to complete their certificate successfully and on time. Satisfactory Academic Progress requires completion of all coursework and regular attendance. (See Satisfactory Academic Progress section for details.)

Our academic year generally begins in late August and goes through the following May. The academic year for our programs is individualized and will vary according to the requirements of each program. Our classes normally meet five days a week. Occasional changes in class schedules may occur due to training requirements.

Drop, Withdrawal, and Refund PolicyStudents are expected to arrange their academic sched-ule carefully and maintain the schedule throughout the semester. Necessary schedule changes must go through the Student Services Office and have the permission of the instructor of the course(s) affected by the schedule change. For an official withdrawal, students must complete a with-drawal form and submit it to the Student Services Office to complete the drop/withdrawal process. Drops and with-drawals are not official until the appropriate paperwork has been completed. The date used to determine eligibility for refund and grade status will be the date paperwork is completed, not the date the student stops attending class. A student will be given an unofficial withdrawal if they miss ten consecutive days of class without contacting the school. In case of an unofficial withdrawal, the notification date will be the last date of academic-related activity.

Students may add or drop courses from their schedules during the first 15% of the course meetings. Courses dropped during that time will not be reflected on a student’s transcripts and are eligible for a refund. Refunds, when due, will be made without requiring a request from students, minus an administrative fee.

Students may withdraw from a course any time through 75% of the course without penalty. The student will be assigned a grade of “W”. No academic credit is awarded. The course is not counted in the term or cumulative GPA at TCR. Courses dropped after this time will result in a grade of “F” for the course.

When the class is canceled due to lack of enrollment or other cause, the school will notify the student and the

Change of AddressIt is the responsibility of each student to notify the Admissions Office of any change of address, name, tele-phone number, or other change that will affect their permanent or financial records.

Permanent Records A permanent record is maintained on each officially enrolled student. The record lists course numbers, course names, course credit hours, and course grades. The student may request to examine his/her record with a member of the Administration Office staff or the Student Advisor.

Student records are maintained in compliance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. (Public Law 93-380, Sub Section 513.88 Statute 471.20 U.S.C. 1232Q).

Request for TranscriptsStudents who wish to have a copy of their Technical College of the Rockies transcript sent to another educa-tional institution, to a prospective employer, or for personal use must complete a Request for Transcript from at the Administration Office. A fee of $5 per copy will be charged. Transcripts will not be available for any student who has not fulfilled all financial obligations. A one-week period of time should be allowed from the time of the receipt until the time the transcript is mailed.

Family Education Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 In compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, also known as the Buckley Amendment, insti-tutions of higher education such as the post secondary program at Technical College of the Rockies are required, on an annual basis, to inform students of their rights under the Act and to enumerate its basic provisions. The following statement constitutes such notice: Under the Act, a student 18 years of age and older at post secondary institutions has the right to inspect and review all official records, files and data directly related to the student, including all material that is incorporated into the student’s cumulative record file. The student shall have the right to challenge the contents of personal education records and has a right to have a hearing to ensure that the records are accurate. Student names and current enrollment status at Technical College of the Rockies are considered public information. Technical College of the Rockies will respond to inquiries in this regard, whether they are made in person, by phone,

for expenses will not be required to repay any portion of the cash received. A student may be placed on Academic Alert or Warning or may be terminated from aid at the end of term due to lack of satisfactory progress (see Satisfactory Academic Progress).

Student RecordsAny current or former student at TCR is provided access to their records in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Acts of 1974 (Public Law 93-380). In the event that the records are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in error, a student may make a written request for a hearing to correct those records.

The following items are considered to be directory infor-mation, and may be disclosed by TCR without consent: a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. A student may refuse to permit the release of directory information by submitting a written notice of refusal to the Student Services office within the first ten days of a quarter/semester.

In general, TCR will not disclose personally identifiable information from the student’s record to any individual without a written release from the student. However, TCR may disclose personally identifiable information from a student’s records to the following people/agencies without prior written consent:

• School officials with legitimate educational interest;

• Other schools to which a student is transferring;

• Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;

• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;

• Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;

• Accrediting organizations;

• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;

• Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and

• State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

TABE (Tests of Adult Basic Education)The TABE are assessments designed to measure achieve-ment of basic reading, language, and math skills. The assessments are specifically designed for adults and use questions and illustrations that reflect real-life situations. The TABE is an assessment used in most programs once classes are in session. The TABE is generally administered as a computer-based test, but is available in printed format.

Satisfactory Academic Progress and Program Progress PolicyAll students will be evaluated each term. To maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), a student must:

• Achieve and maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or better at all times.

• Maintain adequate pace - Students will successfully complete 75% of scheduled and prescribed courses within a certificate.

• If a student receives an Incomplete (I) they must make up the work within the first 10 days of the next semester unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor and coordinated with the Student Services Office. If a student completes the work for the course they receive the grade earned. If a student does not complete the work, the grade becomes an “F” and is used in calculating SAP. A student can appeal this decision for mitigating circumstances.

• Complete all course work for a certificate within 45 attempted credits. All transfer credits counted towards the completion of the certificate require-ments will also be counted towards the maximum of 45 attempted credits. (Transfer Students)

Academic Probation and Appeals

Students may be placed on academic probation if they fail to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress warning. When there are mitigating circumstances that occur such as a death in the immediate family, prolonged illness, etc., the student may appeal in writing to the Student Services Office. The appeals committee consisting of the Director of the College or his designee, the Program Coordinator and the Student Services Coordinator, will review the appeal in a timely manner, and if approved, the student may return to complete his or her certificate program and if applicable have financial aid reinstated.

To maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid the students must meet the SAP required for all students. If a student does not meet SAP they will be clas-sified as follows;

• Financial Aid Warning: if a student does not meet the above criteria for SAP they will be placed on Financial Aid Warning and will be notified in writing and have one additional semester to return to satisfactory standing. If the student has not returned to satisfac-tory standing after this additional semester, he/she will be terminated from further financial assistance until they regain SAP.

• Financial Aid Termination: If a student does not return to SAP after the warning semester or receives the grade of “F” or incomplete in all registered classes he/she will be immediately terminated from financial aid.

• To Regain Eligibility-Probation: As stated previously, a student with mitigating circumstances can appeal in writing to the Financial Aid Office. The appeals committee and the Financial Aid Director will convene in a timely manner and act on the appeal. If approved, the financial aid eligibility may be rein-stated for one additional semester after which the student must have returned to SAP. The student will be eligible to receive financial aid for the probation-ary semester. If the appeal is successful the student will have weekly progress meeting with the instructor to discuss attendance and progress towards meeting the objectives of the course(s) and help the student with additional resources if needed. If mitigating circumstance do not apply or the appeal is denied the student may secure alternative funding until the satisfactory academic requirements have been met once again. (Academic plan)

A student may appeal a financial aid probation or inel-igibility by submitting a written appeal to the Financial Aid Office within five school days of receipt of notifica-tion. Appeals for reinstatement will only be approved for

• Maintain regular attendance, with absences being less than 10% for the grading period for the student’s certificate. Some certificates require a 100% atten-dance for clinical experience, skill classes (required by Peace Officer Standards and Training) and provide options to make up the time due to illness or unfore-seen circumstances. (See specific guidelines in the Program’s Policy and Procedures manual).

• Repeated Courses- In certain circumstances a student may wish to repeat a previously passed course (A, B, C, D) to gain additional knowledge or to improve their past performance. Federal Guideline do allow a student to receive Federal Assistance while taking these classes but one must note that Federal assis-tance may only pay for a previously passed course one time. The repeated classes are considered replacement courses that replace the grade of the previous class and are counted towards SAP. However, if a student passed a class once, and fails the second time it counts as the second time and cannot be paid for by Title IV funds. (Repeated Classes)

• If a student chooses to complete a different certifi-cate in another Program SAP is not used to determine eligibility for financial aid purposes. A student must meet the admission requirements for the program itself, i.e. appropriate TABES scores, immuniza-tions, etc. Students should keep in mind that any Program(s) that theyutilize Title IV funding in will count towards their Lifetime Eligibility Usage there-fore; their eligibility for Pell grants and additional Student Loans may be limited.

• If a student desires a second certificate in a Program Area they must maintain SAP. For example, a student can take the General Drafting certificate and then specialize in an aspect of drafting such as the Civil Drafting Certificate. (Pursuit of a second certificate)

Satisfactory Academic Progress for all students may be identified with the following statuses. Financial aid restric-tions apply only to those students receiving financial aid funding:

• Good standing- the student is meeting all SAP standards

• Alert – Student is in danger of not meeting SAP based on GPA or attendance. Student will be referred to an academic advisor and meet with the instructor to see if an academic plan is necessary for success.

• Warning- Student has not met SAP for the previous semester and an academic success plan will be developed to assist the student in obtaining their certificate.

We make every effort to comply with all applicable Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and provide necessary accommodation for students who are identified to have special needs. ADA accommodations are coordi-nated by Student Services staff.

Students with disabilities have the responsibility to provide appropriate disability documentation to the Student Services Office. Documentation legitimizes a student’s request for reasonable accommodation, and can assist both the student and the school in identifying the nature of necessary accommodations and in meeting a programs technical standards, where such standards exist. Students with disabilities making a transition to the post secondary level often face increased academic and personal responsi-bilities. Students are expected to be their own advocate to a far greater extent than in the K-12 context. The advocacy process involves good communications; therefore, students with disabilities are encouraged to do the following: Make an appointment with the Student Services Coordinator (970) 874-7671, ext. 556; provide appropriate disability docu-mentation (or discuss how such documentation is to be obtained) and prepare to discuss accommodation alter-natives; meet all deadlines established for documentation and submission of requests for accommodations.

Any student having difficulty in their program of study may be provided individual assistance. These services include tutorial services, independent study materials, or other related assistance at no additional cost.

The appeal will be decided confi-dentially and promptly, preferably within five school days. The results of this appeal will be communicated to both the student and the school personnel involved with the complaint.

Step 3: If the grievance is not resolved at Step 2, the student (or parents if appropriate) may then appeal to the Superintendent of Schools and shall provide written information including the student’s name, the school and a description of the problem. An investi-gation and decision will be made within ten working days and be communicated to the school director, the school personnel directly involved, and student (and parents if appropriate)

Step 4: If the grievance is not resolved at the school or district level, the student (or parents if appropriate) may appeal to the Council on Occupational Education (COE), the accreditation body for Technical College of the Rockies. Grievances may be submitted in writing to Council on Occupational Education, 7840 Roswell Road, Building 300, Suite 325, Atlanta, Georgia 30350, or by phone at 800-917-2081.

Notwithstanding the steps of the grievance procedure described above, a student may discuss any problem at any time with any school personnel. The student may request a greivance form from administration.

Student Support Services/Student AdvisingWe can provide assistance to help students make career plans and develop a realistic occupational training program. We also recommend students utilize the many career preparation tools available on the College in Colorado web site at www.collegeincolorado.org. This web site includes a variety of tools to measure aptitudes, inter-ests, and abilities, as well as tools for career planning and job search.

Any student who is having difficulty in their career or tech-nical training program is encouraged to talk with the class instructor(s) to determine what options are available for individual assistance.
