which veterans are or are not maintaining satisfactory academic progress. CCC will grant three quarter hours of academic credit in Physical E.~ucation t? veterans who have served 365 days on active duty In military service of the United States. After a veteran has been officially admitted to the College, a certified copy of Form 00-214 must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records in order to receive Physical Education credits for basic physical training during military service. The College also participates in the Veterans Upward Bound program which assists veterans in completing basic educational skills, General Educational Development tests and joining special training programs as well as providing assistance in gaining admission to postsecondary educational / vocational programs and in obtaining other aid when necessary.
Course Auditing Auditing a course means that a student attends classes but is not required to submit assignments or take examinations. An audi- . tor, therefore, receives neither a grade nor course credit. Students should indicate their intention to audit a course on the registration form . The auditing fee, however, is the same as when a student is regularly enrolled for credit. Credit courses cannot be converted to audit status. Currently enrolled CCC students are permitted to audit one or more courses. The audited courses may be added during the program adjustment period, usually during the first week of classes , providing space is available. Careful consideration is advisable before requesting permission to audit a course. When uncertain about whether to audit a course, students should see a counselor. Persons not currently attending CCC may register to audit a course during the first week of classes. Acceptance depends on classroom space being available. Registration by mail is not available for students who wish to audit a course.
Full-Time/Part-Time Status A student must take at least 12 quarter credits to be considered a full-time student. Although the normal course load for a full-time student is 15 quarter credits, a counselor or advisor may recommend a heavier or lighter load depending on ability and / or past performance. A part-time student is one registered for fewer than 12 quarter credits. When job or family commitments restrict the time available for attending classes, careful and realistic planning is necessary to successfully manage one's job and academic studies. Each credit hour taken usually requires a minimum of two hours of outside study each week. A student employed full time should probably not attempt to carry more than two courses per quarter. A student working part time may carry a course load in proportion to the hours of employment. 253
