General Information if this job meets specified criteria. Numerous advantages accrue from such an approach to learning: career direction and financial assistance for participating students, a source of manpower for employers, and an avenue to better relate the College to the community. A student may earn cooperative education credit according to approved curriculum standards for his/her curriculum. Students should check with their advisor and/or the cooperative education coordinator for information on those guidelines.
Course Substitution Students may substitute comparable higher level general education courses in A.A.S. degree programs if the faculty advisor and placement tests indicate success potential. Students desiring to substitute higher level general education courses should inform their advisor at the time of registration. Substitution of one course for another may be considered when the action is in the best interest of the student and the substitution supports the educational goals and objectives of the student. Course substitutions must be approved by the lead instructor, Dean, and Vice President of Academics.
Credit Hour Load Policy Students registering for more than 21 credit hours (more than 16 credit hours for summer term) must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher and the permission of their advisor and the Vice President of Academics. Any student enrolled in two or more colleges concurrently during a semester shall give each college complete enrollment information including the name of each college enrolled, the number of credit hours taken, the class schedules, and other relevant information. Any student who exceeds 21 credit hours during a semester without prior approval of the home college or fails to give complete and accurate enrollment information shall be prohibited from taking courses at any community college for one academic year.
Repeating Course Work A student who has previously passed a curriculum course with a grade of C or better may repeat that course once within five years. Additional repeats of courses must be approved by the appropriate chairperson and the Vice President of Academics. No course may be counted more than once in determining the total number of semester hour credit for graduation. In all cases of repeated courses, the final grade becomes the grade for the course. Any required course in which an F is received must be repeated and passed before the student can graduate.
