Focused Mission Statement Massasoit Community College provides quality programs designed for immediate entry to the workforce or transfer to a baccalaureate degree program. The College also presents a wide exposure to the liberal arts and sciences as a key element in its mission to help students attain their personal and educational goals. Massasoit is committed to academic excellence, challenging its students to develop college-level competencies in computer skills, critical thinking, oral communication, mathematics, reading, and writing; it does so by integrating these competencies into courses throughout the curriculum. Accordingly, the College also challenges and supports its faculty in creating education outcomes based upon these competencies. Massasoit Community College promotes a supportive, student-centered, cross-cultural learning environment that respects the rights and affirms the dignity of all people. Massasoit offers a range of services dedicated to students’ success, including the Academic Resource Center, the College Experience Program, an Early Support System, ESL instruction, the Latch program, and the Children’s Center. With campuses in Brockton and Canton and an instructional site in Middleborough, the College’s focus is to provide the people of the Metro South and Greater Boston regions with state-of-the-art programs in applied technologies, human and public services, and health sciences. In close association with the leaders of local businesses and industry, the College has developed and offers a broad range of degree and certificate programs, such as Electronic Technology, Culinary Arts, Business Administration, Computer Information Systems. Criminal Justice, Nurse Education, Visual Arts, and a number of allied health sciences, including Dental Assistant. Massasoit Community College is committed to providing its community with relevant and meaningful educational opportunities through a variety of instructional delivery systems, many of which increasingly integrate teaching with advanced technology. Central to these new delivery systems are the Conference Center in Brockton, satelliteand cable-linked professional TV/radio studios, and teleconferencing rooms on both the Canton and Brockton campuses. In addition, community educational needs are met through formal partnerships with K–12 public school systems, other higher educational institutions, adult basic education programs, business, and industry. The Workforce Development Advisory Board maintains ongoing needs assessment and communication links with the business community and the public, allowing the College to respond rapidly to the need for training institutes and programs for companies and organizations as well as basic skills and work-readiness training for the community workforce.

Who was Massasoit? The person after whom the College is named is Massasoit, who was the Great Sachem (Great Chief ) of the Wampanoag tribe at the time of the Pilgrims’ arrival. Massasoit’s story has been enhanced by legend, but the help he afforded the first settlers is beyond dispute. One version of the story of Massasoit begins in March 1621 when an English-speaking Indian named Samoset entered the town of Plymouth and greeted the settlers with the words, “Welcome, Englishmen!’’ Samoset, Massasoit’s representative, prepared the way for the arrival of Massasoit, who proceeded to negotiate an agreement of nonaggression and mutual assistance with the English. This treaty has been called the first formal act of diplomacy in the history of New England. Massasoit is a symbol of mediation between different cultures. He also signifies commitment to dialogue rather than war as a way of settling differences among people.

A Brief History of the College America is unique in its commitment to a wide range of postsecondary education, and nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the idea and development of the state-supported community college system. Its two overriding goals are to offer students higher education at a minimal cost and to meet the educational needs of the region each community college serves. Massasoit Community College was founded in 1966, but its origin can be traced to a 1947 study by the State Board of Education that determined the need for a low-tuition, state-supported system. The study proposed that twelve community colleges be established, one of which would serve the Greater Brockton, South Shore area. In 1961, a proposal was brought before the Brockton School Committee, and after a feasibility study, announcement of such a college was made in 1965. In September 1966, the College, consisting of 358 students and 22 faculty, held its first classes in the Charles M. Frolio School in North Abington, and in June 1968, the first graduation was held for 137 students. Additional campuses were later established at the former Howard School in West Bridgewater and the Miramar School in Duxbury. Ground breaking for the first five buildings of the permanent Brockton campus occurred in 1969, and by 1972 the campus was officially opened. During this time, the College received its first accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. By 1978, the five remaining buildings of the campus were completed. Governance of higher education in Massachusetts underwent reorganization in 1980, replacing the Board of Regional Community Colleges and other state coordinating boards with the Board of Regents of Higher Education (now called The Board of Higher Education). As part of the change, in 1981, the Massasoit Board of Trustees assumed local control of the College. In 1985, the Blue Hills Technical Institute, itself in existence since 1966, formally merged with Massasoit Community College and is now the Canton campus. The Conference Center at Massasoit opened in 1997, offering 7,200 square feet of meeting space for local businesses and other community organizations. The Middleborough Instructional Site opened in fall 2010 and offers the following programs as approved by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education and NEASC: Liberal Arts, Child Care Education, Business, and Criminal Justice.

Statement of Values Preamble Our nation is founded on the principle that each person is endowed with certain rights, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps nowhere in higher education is that principle more apparent than in the community collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open-door policy. Massasoit Community College respects the inherent dignity and potential of each student. In its pursuit of excellence, the College also recognizes that this principle is demonstrated by the commitment and strength of its faculty and staff. Accordingly, the College affirms the following values and beliefs.

Catalog 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2012

Commitment to Students We believe that the first priority of the College is that students learn. We demonstrate this belief by striving to provide the finest instruction and support services possible to enhance student growth and development. Commitment to Access We believe that all people should have access to affordable, quality education. We believe that students should be engaged in challenging activities and that the College should provide supportive and developmental services to those who need them. Commitment to Diversity We believe that all people are entitled to educational services that allow them to develop their powers of body, mind, and spirit to the utmost. Therefore, we strive to reflect the diversity of our community in our student body, faculty, staff, and trustees. Commitment to Excellence We believe in creating a learning environment that is supportive and yet fosters high expectations for achievement. We aspire, therefore, to be recognized in our community as a caring institution, committed to high academic standards in our credit and non-credit offerings and dedicated to inspiring our students to reach their full potential. Commitment to the Community We believe that the College should be an integral part of the communities it serves, including the global community. We recognize the importance of enhancing the economic vitality and quality of life for all citizens in its service area. Commitment to Quality We believe in providing a working and learning environment that is devoted to innovation, creativity, and the open exchange of ideas. We strive to create a campus climate based upon openness and trust, integrity, clear communication, involvement in decision making, and respect for individuals. Commitment to Fiscal Responsibility We believe in being fiscally responsible to the public trust. We endeavor always to direct our human and material resources where they will provide the greatest benefit to the most students and to the communities we serve. Commitment to Accountability We believe that people achieve when they are held accountable. Accordingly, we set high standards of both behavior and achievement for students, faculty, staff, and trustees, and we support them in their efforts to reach those standards. (Adopted by the Board of Trustees on June 23, 1998)

Academic Advisement For purposes of course and program orientation, all students who are enrolled in day degree programs (matriculated) are assigned academic advisors.

Catalog 2011–2012 Students are encouraged to consult their advisors concerning choice of courses, programs, and transfers to other institutions at any point in their academic careers. All full-time faculty are available to students, and all students are urged to visit their advisors as early and as regularly as possible. Classes are suspended for one day each semester in order to allow students to register for the subsequent term. Returning students should contact their advisors as early in the semester as possible to discuss career and transfer plans and to ensure that they are taking courses that fulfill their program requirements and meet their career plans. Students should regularly check their Massasoit email, the My Massasoit portal, and the Self-Service Banner for advising-related communication and information. Students should also consult their advisors or a member of the Advisement & Counseling staff before deciding to add or drop courses. Students can find their advisors’ names and office locations by checking a list posted in the cafeteria or by contacting the Dean of Academic Advising & Assessment. All students, whether they are matriculated or non-matriculated, or attend in the daytime or during evening hours, may also seek academic advising in the Advisement & Counseling Center located on the first floor of the Student Center. Massasoit Community College regards the advisement process as one of the critical vehicles of communication between the College and the student. At Massasoit, there are more than 60 programs of study (majors) offered with over 800 different courses to select from each year. With so many options available, the Advisement and Counseling Center can help students navigate which programs and courses to choose in order to meet their educational and career goals. From the student’s initial orientation right through graduation, the Center provides assistance on such topics as: * Program of study Selection * Course selection/sequencing * Course load * Change of program process Students interested in changing their program of study initiate the process in the Advisement and Counseling Center. Required paperwork is filled out during an interview with a counselor, and career counseling is provided if necessary. All completed requests for change of program are filed with the Registrar’s Office except for Selective Admission programs. Applications to these programs are submitted to the Admissions Office and may have a deadline.

Academic Degrees The Board of Higher Education has statutory authority to confer Associate Degrees to individual community colleges. Upon recommendation of the faculty, those candidates who qualify may be awarded a degree of Associate in Arts (A.A.), the degree of Associate in Science (A.S.), or the degree of Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.). A certificate is awarded to students who complete at least 30 credits in a Board of Higher Education–approved program. The College also offers in-house certificates of under 30 credits and a wide variety of non-credit certificate programs.

Academic Standing & Progress toward a Degree A student’s academic standing is determined by the student’s Quality Point Average (QPA). The cumulative QPA is the total of all Quality Points acquired divided by the total number of semester hours attempted.

Catalog 2011–2012 Good Standing Students will be considered to be in Good Standing if they maintain a cumulative QPA as indicated: 1.0 upon the completion of 1–15 total semester hours 1.6 upon the completion of 16–30 total semester hours 1.75 upon the completion of 31–45 total semester hours 2.0 upon the completion of more than 45 total semester hours Grades of W, I, P, and AU are not completed courses. The minimum cumulative QPA for graduation is 2.0. Academic Probation Students who are not in Good Standing will be placed on academic probation. Students receiving financial aid are also required by government regulations to comply with additional standards. Students who are on Academic Probation are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor. The purpose in meeting with the counselor is to consider one or more of the following options: (1) a reduction or change in the student’s intended course selection for the next probationary semester; (2) a reduction or change in intended work plans for the next semester; (3) tutoring and other academic support; (4) a program of regular, periodic meetings with the student’s new instructors, counselor, and/or faculty advisor; (5) career reassessment. If applicable, the student may finish his or her incomplete course work and possibly bring his or her academic record back into Good Standing before the beginning of the next semester. After one semester of Academic Probation, the student: (1) will be removed from Academic Probation and returned to Good Standing if the cumulative QPA is raised to or above that required for Good Standing status; (2) will be continued on Academic Probation if the probationary semester’s QPA is 2.25 or above, but the cumulative QPA stays below that required for Good Standing; (3) will have a status of academic deficiency if the semester’s QPA is below 2.25 and the cumulative QPA is below that required for Good Standing. Academic Deficiency A student with a status of Academic Deficiency will be removed from the program of study. The student may reapply to a program of study through the Admissions Office once he or she has demonstrated an ability to successfully complete academic work. This can be achieved by successfully completing courses at another institution or by continuing course work at Massasoit as a non-degree student. Students are urged to meet with an academic advisor or an admissions counselor.

Academic Resource Center — Brockton The Academic Resource Center, the ARC, offers a full range of tutoring and academic support services. Individual and small-group tutoring is available in most subject areas by appointment, and walk-in tutoring is available in several subject areas such as mathematics, accounting, computers, and science.

Accreditation Massasoit Community College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), one of the six regional accrediting bodies in the United States. This is a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds the criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer-group review process. An accredited school or college is one that has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance of the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the status of an institution’s accreditation by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the school or college. Individuals may also contact the Association: Commission on Institutions of Higher Education / New England Association of Schools and Colleges, 209 Burlington Road, Suite 201, Bedford, MA 01730-1433, 781-271-0022, www.neasc.org.

Three-Semester Rule All students in a degree program who are academically eligible but who have not been in attendance for up to three consecutive semesters are eligible to maintain their degree status as long as they register for classes by the fourth consecutive semester (with the exception of Allied Health programs).

Ability-to-Benefit Policy Applicants to Massasoit Community College who do not have a traditional high school diploma or an equivalent GED and are not currently enrolled in a high school curriculum may qualify for the Ability-to-Benefit option and be eligible to matriculate into a program and apply for Financial Aid. To be eligible under the Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) option, a student must be at least 16 years of age and pass a United States Department of Education approved ATB test. ATB affords an individual the opportunity to demonstrate that he or she can benefit from the educational experience at Massasoit Community College. There are now nine federally approved ATB tests. Massasoit will be administering an ATB version of the Accuplacer test. The components of the Accuplacer test are Reading, Sentence Skills, and Arithmetic. The student will need to

Catalog 2011–2012 take all three components during the same testing session and pass all three components. The minimum scores mandated by the United States Department of Education to qualify for the Accuplacer Ability-to-Benefit test are as follows:

• Reading, 55

• Sentence Skills, 60

• Arithmetic, 34

ATB does not replace high school graduation. Individuals are encouraged to complete their high school diploma or the GED. (You may encounter issues transferring to another college or gaining employment unless the diploma or GED is earned.)

Home-Schooling Policy All home-schooled students without a high school diploma or GED are eligible to apply for admission to a degree or certificate program provided they have successfully completed an approved home-school program in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws or the laws of their home states. If a home-schooled student has not completed an approved home school program, then the student will not be eligible to enroll in a degree or certificate program until he or she has taken and passed a federally approved Ability-to-Benefit test. To determine whether a student has participated in an approved home-school program, the student shall submit, with the application for admission, evidence that the home-school program was approved by the student’s school district’s superintendent or school committee. Additionally, if the home-schooled student is under the age of compulsory attendance, which is 16 years old in Massachusetts, a letter from the student’s school district’s superintendent or school committee is required stating that the student is not considered truant and would not be required to attend further schooling or continue to be home-schooled if the student has completed his or her home school program before the age of 16. The College reserves the right to limit or deny enrollment to a student under the age of 16 in a course or program based on its case-by-case consideration of a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the student’s maturity, life experience, placement test scores, prior education, course content, instructional methodology, and risks associate with a particular course or program.

Dual Enrollment for High School Students What Is Dual Enrollment? Dual Enrollment is an arrangement whereby a student still enrolled in high school may enroll in a college course and receive college credit for that course as well as credits applicable to the high school diploma. These courses may be day or evening courses, online courses, or courses taught on-site at a local high school. Courses must qualify under the MassTransfer Block or be part of the curriculum under a MassTransfer approved Associate Degree program. Students who are first-generation college students and those interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines will be targeted for the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Program. Student Eligibility

1. Students must be currently enrolled in Massachusetts public or non-public high schools, including an approved home school, and be a Massachusetts resident*. 2. Students must be recommended by high school guidance counselor or other school official.

V. Massasoit I-20 Application Form Additional Requirements B1/B2 (Visitors Visa), J-1 (Exchange Visa), Transfer Students If you are in the United States at the time of submitting your admission application, please submit a valid passport, visa, and I-94 card. B1/B2 Visa If you are on a B2 (Visitors) visa and plan to stay in the United States, you must request a change of status to an F-1 student visa upon fulfilling and receiving acceptance to Massasoit Community College as an International Student. It is only after you have received authorization from the United States government indicating that you have been awarded a change of status that you may begin taking classes at Massasoit. The process of applying for a change of status takes time. Change of status cases are decided by the United States Immigration Customs Enforcement and require specific additional paperwork from the student in order for the case to be reviewed by the government. In some cases, it is strongly recommended that the student return to his or her home country of origin to apply for a visa without doing a change of status. The Massasoit Admissions Office DOES NOT process visas or change of status requests (although information and forms may be obtained from the Admissions Office). Massasoit is not responsible for handling any change of status requests. The Final Admissions Deadlines for B1/B2 visa holders are May 15 for Fall and October 15 for Spring semesters. J-1 Visa If you are on a J-1 (Exchange) visa, you must apply for a change of status to a student visa (F-1) before your J-1 visa expires. If you have a J-1 visa that has expired, you have a 30-day period to change status before being considered out of status. J-1 visa holders should follow the regular Fall and Spring International Student admissions deadlines. Transfer Students If you are an F-1 student attending a United States college or university, please submit along with all other application requirements a copy of your current SEVIS I-20 form from the school you currently attend.

Catalog 2011–2012 an Admissions Counselor to discuss the transfer process. The Final Admissions Deadlines for transfer students are July 15 for Fall and December 1 for Spring semesters. If you fall under a different visa category than listed above, please contact the Admissions Office for further information and details. A valid I-94 card is essential for admission and must be presented if a student is applying within the United States and/or on a current visa. If the I-94 length of stay has expired, Massasoit cannot admit the student unless extension of stay has been granted through the U.S. government. The College is authorized under the United States Federal Law Immigration and Naturalization Act to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. Therefore, the College will accept applications for admission from non-immigrant aliens. College admission requirements and the College academic calendar are available from the Admissions Office and which also provides application, credential deadlines and enrollment dates for International Students.

Adult Basic Education ESOL Programs Two of Massasoit’s key Adult Basic Education (ABE) offerings are its Stoughton ABE/ESOL (English as a Second Language) Program and the Transition to College Program. The ABE/ESOL Program, established in 2000 with support from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE), provides free-of-charge ESOL classes to Stoughton area residents. Then in 2005, the Transition to Community College Program, also funded by ESE, began at Massasoit. It offers free postsecondary education to former ABE students who never thought they had a chance of going on to higher education. The Stoughton ABE/ESOL Program strives to enhance the quality of life in the community of Stoughton and its surrounding areas by providing residents with free access to three levels of English language acquisition classes and other educational resources. Classes are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Stoughton High School. Intake sessions for new students are held several times throughout the year. The Transition to College Program gives qualifying students from the surrounding towns and Adult Learning Centers the opportunity to access postsecondary education. The program offers these students, who are mostly from a lower social economic status, the possibility of improving their life chances by providing the educational tools and emotional preparedness they require to enter and be successful in the College environment. Free developmental coursework in English and mathematics, computer classes, the College Experience Course, plus counseling and advising are all part of this first-year college program. Approximately 70% of our Transition students continue at Massasoit. For information on either of the programs above, please contact Director Linda Aspinwall at 508-588-9100, ext. 1301. GED Preparation Classes These classes are offered to individuals seeking a review course before taking the GED assessment. A free preassessment is given to determine students’ levels before they enter the GED Review classes. Students register through Community Education. Transitional ESOL Class (College Preparation Course) This 48-hour non-credit course is designed to bring students to the level of Massasoit’s college credit ESOL classes. Students who successfully complete this course may register for the first level of college credit ESOL courses in the following semester. This course focuses on speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Courses are usually offered in the evening during the Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions.

Catalog 2011–2012 To register for the class, students must first take the ESOL assessment test to determine if their level of English proficiency is appropriate for this class. Please call 508-588-9100, ext. 1790, to schedule an ESOL assessment test.

Continuing Education The College offers credit and community education (non-credit) Continuing Education courses during its evening and summer sessions. Continuing Education provides members of the community with a means of pursuing their education on a part-time or full-time basis; students, if qualified, may elect courses that they feel will meet their specific needs and interests. Services and activities are characterized by the College’s Continuing Education’s policies of outreach, accessibility, and commitment to new educational prospects. Students who wish to attend the Continuing Education courses will find: College credit courses leading to degrees in Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), and Associate in Applied Science (AAS). The student must fulfill Core Curriculum requirements and complete a minimum of 60 credit hours in a program of study (some programs require more credits). In-house certificates are validated by the College rather than the Board of Higher Education, and they represent a coherent, competency-based concentration of courses.

Core Curriculum The Core is the center of our curriculum. It is a group of required courses that will assist the student to gain a foundation of knowledge, skills, and proficiencies that we believe every graduate of Massasoit should possess. This Core will assure employers and transfer colleges that our graduates have pursued a liberal arts education that is college level in the areas of communication, mathematics, science, social science, and humanities. A major benefit of the Core Curriculum is that it has been carefully designed to assist students to develop the prerequisite and corequisite skills needed to ensure success in their degree program (the Core does not pertain to Certificate programs unless otherwise specified by the individual program). The Core is competency-based. If a student is able to demonstrate that he or she already possesses these skills, he or she will be allowed to select courses of a higher level and/or a greater diversity of subject matter. A series of assessment tests will be employed to determine each student’s level of ability. Test results will dictate whether a student will be exempt from certain courses or placed in courses to assist the student in gaining the skills he or she needs. Preparing for College Reading I and II, Fundamentals of Math, Introductory Algebra, Intermediate Algebra & Trigonometry, and Introductory Writing do not fulfill Core requirements and are not credited toward the completion of an Associate degree. They are required for students who demonstrate insufficient skill on the mathematics, reading, and writing assessment tests. If students believe the scores on the assessment tests are not an accurate indicator of their skills, they may request retesting twice during the initial semester. Placement test scores are valid for a period of one year. Students who take and who score over 500 on the SAT 1 Verbal exam are exempt from the reading tests. Students who take and who score over 600 on the SAT 1 Verbal exam are exempt from both the reading and writing tests. All students must take the mathematics placement test. It is strongly recommended that students who place into Introductory Writing, Preparing for College Reading I or II, Introductory Algebra, Intermediate Algebra & Trigonometry, and/or Fundamentals of Mathematics take these courses immediately upon entrance to the College. Finally, the Core Curriculum has been designed to assist students to gain knowledge and skills that enhance and complement those of their chosen field. It will broaden life interests and equip a student to make more effective use of our world throughout life. We believe that it will help each student to keep growing as a person. We are proud of our Core Curriculum and trust that students, too, will share our belief when they have engaged in it. Students should note carefully developmental prerequisites for individual courses. There are actually three Cores; one for Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees, one for Associate of Science (AS) degrees, and one for Associate of Arts (AA) degrees. The minimum Core components for each are listed below.

Financial Aid Massasoit Community College participates in a number of federal and state financial aid programs to assist students in financing the costs of their education. Financial aid awards (scholarships, grants, loans and employment awards) are made when personal and family resources are not sufficient to pay educational expenses.

Catalog 2011–2012 The difference between the total cost of education (tuition, fees, books, transportation and living expenses) and the total family contribution is expressed as financial need. In general, higher family income requires greater expected contributions to educational costs. Particular family circumstances and student earnings also have a bearing on financial need. The Financial Aid Office follows the regulations in the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). All information provided to the Office of Financial Aid is regarded as confidential and cannot be released without the written consent of the student applicant and/or parent. A Release of Information Form may be completed by the student, for student information, or the parent, for parental information, and submitted to the Financial Aid Office for processing. Office Location and Contact Information The Office of Financial Aid in Brockton is located on the ground floor of the Administration Building. Telephone: (508) 588-9100, ext. 1479. The Office of Financial Aid in Canton is located in the Student Services area. Telephone (781) 821-2222 ext. 2008. Email address: FAO@massasoit.mass.edu Application Procedures and Eligibility Criteria Students who wish to be considered for all forms of financial aid must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The priority deadline is April 15 for each academic year (November 15 for the spring term). Applications received after the priority deadline will be considered, based on available funding, and late applicants may not receive their award decisions prior to the start of classes. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that all forms are accurate and complete. Eligibility In general, you are eligible to apply for financial aid, if you meet all of the following criteria:

1. You must be a United States citizen or eligible noncitizen of the United States with a valid Social Security Number (SSN); 2. You must have a high school diploma or a General Education Development (GED) certificate, complete homeschooling, or pass an approved “ability to benefit” test; 3. You must enroll in an eligible program as a regular student seeking a degree or certificate; 4. You must be making satisfactory academic progress; 5. If you are a male between the ages of 18 and 25, you must register or already be registered with Selective Service. You must also register if you are not currently on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. If you are a citizen of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands or the Republic of Palau you are exempt from registering (see www.sss.gov for more information); 6. If you have been convicted for the possession or sale of illegal drugs for an offense that occurred while you were receiving federal student aid (such as grants, loans, or work-study), you must complete the Student Aid Eligibility Worksheet to determine if you are eligible for aid or partially eligible for aid. 7. You must not owe a refund on a federal grant or be in default on a federal education loan; 8. You must have financial need (except for unsubsidized Stafford Loans)

Part Time/Full Time Students can be enrolled either full (12 or more credits) or part time (1-11 credits) and be eligible to receive financial aid funds depending upon their demonstrated need and availability of funds.

Catalog 2011–2012 Forms required * Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) * Other income information as requested by the Financial Aid Office (i.e. Federal tax returns,W-2s, official statements of all non-taxable income received, i.e., AFDC, Social Security, Veterans Benefits, Workmen’s Compensation, Child Support, etc. Award Process Every applicant for financial aid will first be considered for Pell Grant and Massachusetts State Grant eligibility. Other scholarships, grants, tuition waivers and loans are then awarded on the basis of remaining financial need. Those with the highest remaining need will receive primary consideration. Federal College Work Study funds are awarded to students with priority given to first-time degree candidates. Students who have already earned an associates degree from Massasoit Community College will be considered after all other students have had the opportunity to apply. Employment awards are made to those who request such consideration by completing an Application for Federal Work Study Employment at the Financial Aid Office. Unsubsidized Direct Student Loans will be awarded to those students meeting all eligibility requirements who do not exhibit financial need. Students are encouraged to view their required documents and financial aid awards on-line through their MyMassasoit account. Entering day students are given their login information at orientation. All students are given their access information at the time of registration. Award Notification Students are generally notified of a financial aid decision during the summer months. A complete application is required for consideration. All appeals and requests for reconsideration must be made in writing to the Director of Financial Aid. Students with severe extenuating circumstances and loss of financial resources (loss of job or benefits, death of parents, etc.) may file an “Income Reduction” form to explain their changed circumstances and appeal for reconsideration. Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Standards There are three components, or standards of progress: completion rate or progress toward a degree, GPA, and maximum time frame. A student must maintain all three standards to continue receiving financial assistance. These requirements are considered separate from the academic requirements a student must maintain to remain as a degree student at Massasoit. 1. Completion Rate A student’s academic progress toward a degree or certificate is measured by comparing the number of earned credits with attempted credits. Credits earned divided by credits attempted equals completion rate percentage. For example, a student enrolls in or attempts 12 credits in the semester and then withdraws from one 3-credit course and passes the remaining three courses. That student’s completion rate is 9 credits divided by 12 credits equals 75 percent. Credits attempted include all courses taken by a student, whether paid for with financial aid funds or taken within a degree program, except as noted below. Credits earned are credits associated with classes successfully completed (received a grade of A, B, C, D, or P).

• A student must successfully complete at least 67% of those credits.

Catalog 2011–2012 The following are considered when evaluating a student’s satisfactory academic progress:

• Withdrawals, incompletes, and failures are considered attempted but not earned hours. Students with Incomplete classes may be able to continue on probation for one semester while completing the course requirements.

• Passing credits received for pass/fail courses are considered attempted and earned credits; failing grades in pass/fail courses are considered attempted but not earned.

• Repeated courses are included in the calculation of both attempted and earned hours. A student is allowed to repeat a course according to federal course repeat policy (see the Repeat Course Policy).

• Audited courses are not considered credits attempted or earned.

• English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are included in the calculation of both attempted and earned hours.

• Transfer credits, including those received during consortium study, do not count in the calculation of the cumulative GPA but are included in the calculation of completion rate and maximum time frame to complete a degree (see item 3 below).

2. Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) A student must attain a minimum cumulative GPA based on the total number of credit hours attempted.

• 1.0 for 6–15 semester hours attempted

• 1.6 for 16–30 semester hours attempted

• 1.75 for 31–45 semester hours attempted

• 2.0 for 45+ semester hours attempted

3. Maximum Time Frame A student must complete his or her educational program within a time frame no longer than 150% of the published length of the educational program. At Massasoit Community College we count this time frame in credits rather than in time increments. All attempted hours are counted, including transfer hours, whether or not financial aid was received or the course work was successfully completed. Remedial courses may be excluded from the number of maximum time frame credits once a student appears to be exceeding the maximum time frame. A student will not be eligible to receive financial aid once he or she has attempted 150% of the credits required for his or her degree or certificate program or if it appears that he or she cannot attain a degree or certificate within this time frame. For example, a student in a program requiring 60 credit hours for graduation will be eligible for financial aid only during the first 90 attempted credit hours (60 credits x 150% = 90 credits). For students in programs with different credit hour requirements, the maximum time frame will be adjusted accordingly. Students must be taking courses that count toward their degree program to be eligible for financial assistance. Care should be taken to register only for courses listed on the appropriate degree requirements sheet for the student’s current degree or certificate program. SAP Reviews Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid will be reviewed after the spring semester each year. Students not meeting the requirements stated above will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension and be ineligible to receive

Catalog 2011–2012 financial assistance. There is no warning period. Financial Aid Suspension If a student does not meet all of the above standards, he or she is no longer eligible for financial aid. If a student reaches the maximum time frame or it is determined to be mathematically impossible for the student to obtain the degree or certificate within the maximum time frame, he or she is no longer eligible to receive state or federal financial aid. Regaining Eligibility A student may regain eligibility by taking and paying for the classes and raising the cumulative GPA and completion rate to meet the above standards. Appeal Procedure To appeal the Financial Aid Suspension, a student should submit a signed and dated SAP Appeal Form to the Advisement & Counseling Center within ten days of being notified of his or her suspended status. Valid reasons for an appeal include extenuating circumstances such as a medical emergency, severe health issues, severe personal or family problems, financial or personal catastrophe, change of major, or return for a second degree or certificate. If a student bases an appeal on a change of program, only the hours from the previous program(s) that count toward the student’s new program requirements are included in the calculation of maximum time frame. Two program changes will be considered valid for financial aid SAP purposes. All courses from the third different program on will be counted toward a student’s maximum time frame. Students pursuing a second associate’s degree or transferring credits into Massasoit will have a maximum of ten courses from their prior degree and/or institution used to satisfy their second degree requirements. This is the same as Massasoit’s academic policy for all students pursuing a second associate degree or transferring credits. Documentation verifying the situation should be attached to the SAP Appeal Form (e.g., doctor’s letter, hospital records, police records, unemployment statements) SAP Appeals will not be considered if they are incomplete. If a student’s SAP Appeal is granted, one of two things will occur:

1. The student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation after Appeal and be given the opportunity to raise the cumulative GPA and/or completion rate to Good SAP Standing standards. This opportunity will only be given to students who can, through hard work, return to Good SAP Progress within one semester.

2. The student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation after Appeal and will develop with an academic advisor an Academic Plan to return him or her to Good SAP Progress standing within an appropriate time period.

While on Financial Aid Probation after Appeal, a student may continue to receive financial aid. At the end of each probationary semester the student will be:

• Removed from Financial Aid Probation after Appeal if the cumulative GPA is raised to or above that required to be in good standing, and a minimum completion rate of 67% is reached;

• Continued on Financial Aid Probation after Appeal if all the requirements of the Academic Plan are satisfactorily met, or

• Placed on Financial Aid Suspension if all the requirements of the Academic Plan are not met.

Catalog 2011–2012 Reinstatement A student may be able to raise his or her cumulative GPA and/or satisfy credit deficiencies by taking additional coursework at Massasoit Community College while not receiving financial aid. Students may also consider whether a change in degree program is appropriate.

Financial Aid Sources Massasoit participates in the following federal and state financial aid programs. Federal Pell Grants – This federal program provides grants to students based on financial need as demonstrated on the FAFSA and their enrollment status (number of credits taken). Money may be available for study in the summer sessions. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office for more information. Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant (SEOG) – Awarded to students eligible for a Pell Grant and showing exceptional financial need. Federal Direct Subsidized Loans – Federal loans available to eligible student borrowers who demonstrate financial need. These loans have a fixed interest rate of 3.4% for the 2011–2012 aid year. Interest and principal are subsidized by the government until the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time. Repayment begins six months after the student graduates, withdraws, or stops attending school at least half-time. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans – Federal loans available to eligible student borrowers. These loans are not need based; however, FAFSA must be filed to determine eligibility. These loans have a fixed interest rate of 6.8%. The interest is NOT subsidized by the government and accrues during the in-school period. The borrower is responsible for all interest payments. Interest and principal may be deferred until the student ceases to be enrolled. Repayment begins six months after the student graduates, withdraws, or stops attending school at least half-time. Federal Direct Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) – For parent borrowers. This program provides additional loan funds for educational expenses. These loans have a fixed interest rate of 7.9%. PLUS loans are subject to credit approval. Federal College Work Study (FWS) – This is a federally funded student employment program. Students are placed with various academic and administrative offices throughout the College. There are also off-campus Work Study opportunities through our community service program. Student employees generally work 10 hours per week while classes are in session. The hourly wage is $8/hour on campus, and $10/hour off campus. Student employment guidelines and applications for the Federal Work Study are available in the Office of Financial Aid. Mass Grant – Provides assistance to Massachusetts residents who are studying full-time. The Office of Student Financial Assistance sends award notifications directly to the student but relies on the College Financial Aid Office to verify and adjust these awards. Maximum award is $900 annually. Deadline to file FAFSA and receive consideration for the Mass Grant is May 1 each year. MA Part-Time Grant – Funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this program provides assistance to Massachusetts residents who are studying part time. Maximum award is $450 annually. MA Foster Furcolo Access Grant – A state-funded grant available to needy students on a first-come, first-served basis. Tuition Waivers Several kinds of tuition waivers are available to Massasoit Community College students. These waivers include, but are not limited to, National Guard, veteran, senior citizen, Native American, state employee, and ward of the state. Students must present documentation of eligibility, and may need to certify they meet all waiver requirements

Catalog 2011–2012 prior to having their waiver accepted. Students eligible for waivers should obtain clarification from the Financial Aid Office before making course selections, Student eligible for the Senior Citizen Waiver need to certify US citizenship and MA residency, and present proof of age 60 years or more. Senior Citizen Waivers will not be accepted until late registration, which is one week before the start of classes, and enrollment of 15 students in the class is confirmed. For courses starting later in the semester, Senior Citizen Waivers will not be accepted until one week before the start of the class, and enrollment of 15 students in the class is confirmed. Waiver documentation must be submitted by the bill due date, or at the time of registration, whichever is later. Waivers will not be processed retroactively. Waivers are not refundable. Institutional Funds Massasoit Community College offers a number of need and non-need based grants and scholarships to students. The United Student Fund, MCC Fee Assistance Grant, and book vouchers are a few of the programs available. Some programs require completion of FAFSA, others require a scholarship application or written letter of appeal. Additional information on each program is available in the Financial Aid Office.

Financial Aid and Course Withdrawal Information Students receiving financial aid should be aware that withdrawing or failing to attend courses may have a significant impact on their current and future financial aid eligibility. Official Withdrawal Students financial aid eligibility is based on the number of credits they have as of the add/drop deadline. For the fall term, students are initially awarded as full-time. If they have fewer than 12 credits at the end of the add/drop period, their awards, including loan eligibility, will be adjusted. For the spring term, students are awarded based on the number of credits in which they were enrolled in during the fall. If students’ enrollment changes during the add/drop period, their awards, including loan eligibility, will be adjusted. Withdrawing from all courses after the drop/add deadline is considered withdrawing from the College. If students withdraw completely before 60% of the academic semester has passed, their financial aid eligibility must be recalculated according to federal and state regulations. This recalculation will determine how much of the financial aid has been earned during the weeks before the official withdrawal from courses. When the recalculation is done, a balance could be owed to the College. Unofficial Withdrawal The federal government mandates that students who fail all of their courses during an academic semester must be checked to determine if they continued their attendance in those courses past the 60% point of the semester. Massasoit complies with this requirement by requesting faculty to verify students’ participation during the semester. If a student is not participating in classes, the Financial Aid Office will recalculate financial aid eligibility, which may cause a balance to be owed to the College for the semester; this is true even when a refund check has already been issued to the student for the semester. Students need to remember that accumulated withdrawals could affect their eligibility for aid, as all course withdrawals decrease their completion rate for Satisfactory Academic Progress (see next section). In addition, students’ loan eligibility will be affected if their enrollment falls below half-time (6 credits) status.

Gateway to College The Gateway to College program is a unique alternative education opportunity. Students can earn a high school diploma with the added benefit of receiving college credits toward an Associate degree or certificate. Gateway

Catalog 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2012 to College serves at-risk youth 16 to 20 years old who have dropped out or are on the verge of dropping out of high school. The program promotes student success and readiness for an adult learning environment by grouping students into learning communities and offering individualized support while maintaining rigorous academic standards. Students work with program staff on issues ranging from transportation and study habits to pathway selection. Because the program is offered on a college campus, students feel that they are treated as adults and respond well to the academic and behavioral expectations of the College environment. How Is Gateway to College Funded? In order to promote the Gateway to College model, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and its funding partners, the Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, granted Portland Community College in Portland, Oregon, $13 million over seven years to replicate the program. Massasoit Community College, among other community colleges nationwide, has been selected to replicate the Gateway to College program. MCC has contracts with Brockton, Randolph, and Norton Public School districts to provide Gateway to College to students who have dropped out (or are in danger of dropping out) of high school. The program uses Kâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;12 education funds to pay for college tuition, fees, and books, since students are completing high school at the same time they are earning college credits. Who Are Our Students? Gateway to College serves students 16 to 20 years old who have dropped out of school or have one foot out the door. They are a diverse group of young people facing many challenges. Our students are young people who feel they did not fit well in a traditional high school setting. Many of our students work part-time and live on their own. How Long Are Students in the Program? Students remain in Gateway to College for a minimum of two years, until they earn a high school diploma or turn 22. How Can a Student Get into the Program? The first step to take in applying for the Gateway to College program is to complete a preliminary application. To obtain a preliminary application you may contact our Gateway to College office at 508-588-9100, ext. 1688, or visit the website at http://gateway.massasoit.mass.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!

Honors Program An Honors course is any course of the College that is taught in an Honors format. This format involves a seminar style of teaching and learning, a high degree of student involvement in both class discussion and the presentation of reports, and ongoing consultations between student and instructor. Students admitted to a course on an Honors basis are usually recommended by one instructor of the department and, as a condition for entry, are interviewed by the instructor of the Honors course itself. Students may be asked to read course materials or texts before the first class of the course. Each course taken in an Honors format is so noted on the student’s transcript. All Honors courses are designated as Honors on students’ transcripts, identifying students as academically talented. The small size and intimate atmosphere of Honors classes appeal to students who seek a strong voice in their education. Students receive sustained assistance in planning their future educational goals, including transfer support and selection of courses that suit their needs. Access to the Honors Center The Honors Center is a place where students study, use computers, and meet with other students in the program. The Center also hosts receptions, film screenings, and other academic activities. $100 Tuition Waiver Students receive a $100 waiver for each three or four-credit Honors course. The Honors Program is coordinated by Professor Susan Martelli on the Brockton Campus at ext. 1836, Room H113, and by Professor David LaFontaine on the Canton Campus at ext. 2838, Room C311B. They are happy to talk with interested students any time during the year. Honors Program Highlights • Honors field trips • Extracurricular activities for cultural enrichment • Annual awards and recognition luncheon • Statewide undergraduate conference • Student presentation of original work in oral and visual form before peers, faculty, and the public Massasoit Community College is a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council.

Institutional Diversity Overseeing the Diversity Efforts at Massasoit Community College There are many formal resources, such as planned forums, diverse clubs, and survey data, available to Massasoit students, faculty, and staff. But Joyce Zymaris, Executive Officer for Institutional Diversity/Affirmative Action, also wants to personally offer her office as a place where any issue involving diversity or tolerance can be addressed. If you are a minority student, faculty, or staff member at MCC, are friends with someone who is, or are simply curious about multicultural issues, we hope you will take advantage of what the Office For Institutional Diversity has to offer. If you have a question about minority scholarships or professional opportunities, come to this office. If you are considering having a program celebrating an aspect of who you are, we may be able to offer advice. If you have suggestions for a forum, speaker, initiative, or a college procedure, please let us know. And, if you or someone you know has been a witness or the victim of intolerance, do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

Keyboarding Competency As a requirement for graduation with an Associate Degree, every student at Massasoit Community College must demonstrate the ability to keyboard on a computer at 20 words per minute with no more than three errors on a two-minute test OR enroll in and complete a keyboarding course. Students who know they exceed the minimum standard should arrange to test out of the keyboarding requirement before enrolling in English Composition II. As indicated on the instructional pamphlet distributed at orientation, frequent test dates are scheduled throughout the semester. Why? You benefit from Massasoit’s required keyboarding competency in two major ways: First, keyboarding is likely to make you a more competent, higher-achieving student. In many of your courses (especially the writing courses that are required early in your academic career), you may be required to submit typed work. Research indicates that students work better and receive higher grades when their papers are typed. Keyboarding on a computer will further develop your ability to revise, edit, and enhance your work (and it’s a lot easier, too!). Second, computers are on the desk of almost everyone in today’s workforce! And keyboards are still the primary way people talk to their computers. Word processing is, and will continue to be, one of the most widely used computer applications. In today’s world, “writing” means using word processing on a computer. Familiarity and practice in using the computer keyboard will increase your job possibilities as well as your academic success. Knowing how to keyboard makes an important difference in employability after graduation. What? One of the core competencies at Massasoit, and a requirement for graduation, is keyboarding on a computer. The student must also demonstrate the following computer-related competencies: 1. Insert a disk 2. Use basic cursor movement with keys and mouse 3. Locate function keys 4. Edit using backspace and delete keys

Catalog 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2012 5. Save a file 6. Retrieve a file You may demonstrate this competency at times that are set up before or during your first semester at Massasoit. Students who have not fulfilled this requirement will be required to enroll in Computer Keyboarding course (CTIM100) or CTIM148) when they register for English Comp. II. How? You can meet this competency in a variety of ways. You can arrange to take the competency test during your first semester. If you would like to attempt to learn about computer keyboarding on your own during your first semester, computers with self-teaching typing tutors are available in the Academic Resource Center (ARC). Students who do not pass the keyboarding competency test must register for a keyboarding course during their second semester. Students in programs with general electives may use the one-credit course (CTIM148) as one-third of a 3-credit general elective and combine it with two other 1-credit courses such as Internet, Word, Excel, Windows, Access, PowerPoint, and Physical Education courses. Some students may choose the higher-level 3-credit course, CTIM100 Computer Keyboarding for Non-Majors, to acquire this skill and meet a general elective requirement. Students with learning disabilities should consult with the Special Needs Coordinator concerning this requirement. No appointment is necessary to take the test! Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the time indicated and bring your driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license (for ID purposes).

Latch Program Latch is an academic support program that serves approximately 150 students each semester. Although Latch supports a variety of students, the most common is the first semester student in school looking for help adjusting to college generally and for help in reading, writing, or math skills specifically. Latch offers sections of Massasoitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required courses in Reading, Writing, Math, and College Experience. The courses are identical to those offered throughout the College, but the program offers teachers with reputations for patience and clear communication. Latch offers tutoring on a drop-in basis from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in two tutoring rooms on the Brockton campus. Room T-435 focuses on reading and writing skills with special help available in social sciences, speech, basic computer skills, and other subjects. Room T-432 focuses exclusively on mathematics. A Latch student might go to one of the tutoring rooms just to work on homework, but often a student seeks one-to-one help understanding a difficult assignment. Latch offers counselors who are experienced at helping a student choose the right courses for that individual. The counselors in the program are also deeply committed to helping a student discover a career path or follow a career path the student feels strongly about. Latch students are formally invited to individual interviews with counselors at least twice during a semester. Teachers report on the progress of students, and if a student is struggling, Latch counselors will strive to contact the student and offer advice on the way to improvement. Latch offers workshops designed to help a student with such things as identifying a learning style, finding an appropriate career, or choosing a major course of study in college. Latch has a tradition of helping motivated and hard-working students achieve success.

The only limited exception to this strict prohibition is for recognized religious ceremonies or situations where it is absolutely certain that every student present will be of legal drinking age and the advance (not more than 90 days) written approval of the College President has been secured. If, after the required written approval has been obtained, alcohol is served or sold by anyone, then it must be served or sold strictly in accordance with applicable state liquor laws.

Catalog 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2012 drug or illegal substance will be served, sold, or used, whether held on campus or off campus. Any person actually observed consuming, serving, selling, or storing alcoholic beverages on College property in violation of this Alcohol and Drug Policy or applicable state liquor laws and any person actually observed consuming, serving, selling, storing, or using any unlawful drug or illegal substance on College property in violation of this Alcohol and Drug Policy or applicable state drug laws or substance laws shall be required to immediately leave the property of Massasoit Community College. Such individuals are also subject to arrest and criminal penalties as provided by state law, and the College may report such apparent violations to law enforcement authorities for further investigation and prosecution. In addition, students and College personnel should be aware that they are subject to such civil penalties as may be deemed appropriate, under the particular circumstances, by the President of Massasoit Community College, including the distinct possibility of temporary suspension or even permanent dismissal from employment or attendance at the College. It is the official policy of Massasoit Community College to assist students and College personnel in dealing with problems they may be experiencing with alcohol, drugs, and chemical substances, provided that the student or employee acknowledges that he or she may have a problem and seeks to remedy the situation before the College administration decides that it must take action under this Alcohol and Drug Policy. It is not a violation of this Alcohol and Drug Policy for a student, guest, invitee, educator, or administrator to carry, consume, possess, or otherwise use a prescription drug or an over-the-counter drug or medicine in a lawful manner. No authorization to carry, consume, possess, or otherwise use a prescription drug or an over-the-counter drug or medicine need be sought or secured from the President or any other College official, provided such consumption or use is lawful and is reasonable under the circumstances involved. However, the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alcohol and Drug Policy does not authorize or condone the abusive use of any lawful drug or medicine, whether obtained by prescription or over the counter, which could result in a drug overdose, chemical dependence, adverse health effects, or an accident to anyone on College property or in a College-owned or leased motor vehicle. While the President of Massasoit Community College may adopt a different standard for evaluating the circumstances involving the excessive consumption or abusive use of lawful prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines and make a reasonable allowance for mitigating circumstances, the President may impose on college personnel and students such civil penalties as he or she may deem appropriate, under the particular circumstances, including the possibility of permanent dismissal from employment or attendance at the College. Students and College employees need to understand that Massasoit Community College is subject to various state and federal laws that deal with the abusive use of alcohol, drugs, and chemical substances, including specifically the federal Higher Education Act of 1965. Title XII, which was an amendment to this Act created by the DrugFree Schools and Communities Act of 1989, applies to every educational institution receiving federal funding. In addition, certain College employees, including those involved in federally funded grants and projects, are subject to the Drug-free Workplaces Act of 1988, and as a result the College may be a mandatory reporter of certain employee acts that could result in a criminal conviction. Once in each calendar year, the President of the College shall inform the Board of Trustees that he or she has caused this Alcohol and Drug Policy to be posted on each campus in at least one prominent place and has also taken such other appropriate measures to inform employees and students as a reasonably objective person would deem to be adequate and sufficient to accomplish the several objectives of this Alcohol and Drug Policy. The Student Handbook, which is to be distributed to all students at least once each year, shall contain a prominent reference to and a brief synopsis of the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alcohol and Drug Policy and, in addition, shall contain such other details, material, and related information as the President of the College shall deem appropriate. Attendance and Discipline Policy Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes and laboratory sessions on time. The professor at the beginning of the semester will clarify the attendance policy in writing on the course syllabus. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student for disciplinary as well as academic reasons when it considers

Catalog 2011–2012 such action in the best interests of the College or the student. In all such cases, the College will state the reason and inform the student of his or her rights to a hearing. An instructor may terminate a student’s participation in a class or course if the student’s behavior disrupts the learning process. Prior to dismissal the student has a right to receive a warning from the instructor and once dismissed can request reasons for the dismissal. The student may request a hearing. Statement on Academic Honesty In accepting admission to Massasoit Community College, students also accept the responsibility for maintaining high standards of academic integrity and scholarly practice. Plagiarism—using another person’s words or ideas without acknowledgement—is strictly forbidden. This means that dependence on the ideas or language of others in a student’s oral, written, technical, and artistic work must be properly acknowledged and documented. Information on documentation is contained in most writing handbooks and is generally covered by an instructor in one of a student’s composition courses. Academic dishonesty also includes but is not limited to a student’s giving or receiving aid during examinations or in completing laboratory assignments, computer programs, or other work assigned in courses, unless given explicit permission by the instructor. It is the responsibility of the individual instructor to enforce this policy. If an infraction should occur, an instructor may take action that reflects the seriousness of the infraction and that could range from an informal verbal warning to, but not beyond, the issuance of a grade of F for the course. In addition to action taken relative to the specific course, the course instructor may bring any matter related to academic honesty to the Academic Dean, who may bring the matter to the Vice President of Faculty and Instruction for consideration of further disciplinary action. The student’s right to due process is guaranteed in any disciplinary action involving faculty members and the administration. If a student has a complaint or a grievance, he or she should contact the Dean of Students. The Student Grievance Procedure is contained in the Student Handbook, which is available in the Student Life Office and the Office of the Dean of Students. The procedure outlines the necessary steps a student must follow to file a grievance. Confidentiality of Student Records Policy The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. 1. 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, Dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may by 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. 2. 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

Catalog 2011–2012 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. 3. The right to consent to disclosure 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 or 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, an auditor, or a 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 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 professional responsibility. Further, upon request, the College discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by an institution of higher education to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Such complaints may be filed with the Family Policy Compliance Office at the U. S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605. 5. The College identifies the following student information as directory information: student name, address, College email address, telephone number, age, level of education (first year or second year), enrollment status (full- or parttime), and program of study. It may also include dates of attendance, degrees, and awards received from Massasoit (Dean’s List, athletics awards, etc.). Directory information may be released by the College to a third party requesting such student information without first obtaining the parent’s or eligible student’s consent. A parent or eligible student has the right to refuse to permit the College to identify some or all of those types of information about the student as directory information. A parent or an eligible student must notify the College’s Registrar within two weeks of the beginning of each academic semester if the parent or an eligible student does not want any or all of those types of information about a student designated as directory information. Notwithstanding the College’s definition of directory information, the Department of Defense, pursuant to the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 (Solomon Amendment), identifies the following information as student recruiting information: student names, addresses, and telephone listings; and if known, students’ ages, levels of education, majors. If a parent or an eligible student chooses not to exercise his or her aforementioned right to refuse to permit the College to designate some or all of the student’s record information as directory information, the College will release to the Department of Defense, or an agency thereof, that student information which the Department of Defense has designated as student recruiting information. This may result in the nonconsensual disclosure of personally identifiable information. When student information is released pursuant to a Department of Defense request, notice of the request, and the release of student information in accordance therewith, will be posted in a conspicuous location in the College’s Registrar’s Office for the period of one academic year. The Registrar is the person responsible for the maintenance of records. Inquiries regarding such records should be directed to the Registrar or his or her designee. Students wishing to examine their records may be required by the institution to give written notice of such intent. Such requests must be honored by the institution within a period not to exceed forty-five days from the date of the notice of intent. When personally identifiable information is released to third parties under the provisions of this Act, it is done on the condition that such party will not permit

Catalog 2011–2012 any other party to have access to such information without written consent of the student. Hazing Policy An Act prohibiting the practice of hazing was enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives in General Court in 1985. Chapter 269 of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding the following three sections: Section 17. Whoever is a principal organizer or participant in the crime of hazing as defined herein shall be punished by a fine of not more than three thousand dollars or by imprisonment in a house of correction for not more than one year or by both such fine and imprisonment. The term hazing as used in this section and in sections 18 and 19, shall mean any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization, whether on public or private property, that willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person. Such conduct shall include whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, or exposure to the weather; forced consumption of any food, liquor, beverage, drug or other substance; or any brutal treatment or forced physical activity that is likely to adversely affect the physical health or safety of any student or other person or that subjects such students or other persons to extreme mental stress, including extended deprivation of sleep or rest or extended isolation. Section 18. Whoever knows that a person is the victim of hazing as defined in section 17 and is at the scene of such a crime shall, to the extent that such person can do so without danger or peril to himself or others, report such crime to an appropriate law enforcement official as soon as reasonably practicable. Whoever fails to report such crime will be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars. Section 19. Each secondary school and each public and private school or college shall issue to every group or organization under its authority or operating on or in conjunction with its campus or school, and to every member, plebe, pledge, or applicant for membership in such group or organization, a copy of this section and sections 17 and 18. An officer of such group or organization and each individual receiving a copy of said sections 17 and 18 shall sign an acknowledgment stating that such group, organization, or individual has received a copy of said sections 17 and 18. Each secondary school and each public or private school or college shall file, at least annually, a report with the regents of higher education and in the case of secondary schools, the board of education, certifying that such institution has complied with the provisions of this section and also certifying that said school has adopted a disciplinary policy with regard to those organizers and participants of hazing. The Board of Regents and, in the case of secondary schools, the Board of Education shall promulgate regulations governing the content and frequency of such reports and shall forthwith report to the attorney general any such institution which fails to make such report. The following Disciplinary Policy shall be applied to any organizer (individual or organization) and/or participants (individual or organization) of the practice of hazing with any affiliation to Massasoit Community College. Any individual or organization associated with Massasoit Community College that there is reason to believe may have been involved as an organizer or participant in the practice of hazing shall be subject to any or all of the following procedures: • A review by the Massasoit Community College Student and/or Faculty Judiciary Council • A review by the Massasoit Community College administrative and/or security staff, as deemed appropriate, subject to established College and statewide grievance procedures • Criminal prosecution by appropriate law enforcement and judicial agencies Should there be any questions concerning the College’s Hazing Policy, please contact the Dean of Students. Internet Policy Access to the Internet has been provided to staff and students for the benefit of the College and students. It allows access to information resources and databases around the world. Everyone using the Internet from the College represents the College while on the Internet. To ensure that the Internet is used in a responsible and productive manner, the following guidelines have been established for using the Internet.

Catalog 2011–2012 Acceptable Uses of the Internet The College’s website, server, and all other related computer equipment and services may be used only for academic, educational, or professional purposes that are directly related to official College business and in support of the College’s mission. Students may use the Internet to research information or download files to be used in reports or presentations for class work. Students may use available lab systems to access their email or chat rooms on a spaceavailable basis. Students who need to access files or applications on the College network will be given preference for use of the lab computers. The staff may use the Internet in the course of their daily activities to access resources of the Commonwealth or research information to be used in the performance of their duties. Databases may be accessed for information as needed and email used for business contacts. Unacceptable Use of the Internet The Internet shall not be used for personal gain or advancement of individual views. This includes advertising for a personal non-college-related business or sending email to people to convince them of your opinion on a particular topic. In this case, the user should obtain an account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) at one’s own expense. Pursuant to Massachusetts Campaign Finance Laws, no governmental resources (including computers, fax machines, modems, printers, and/or copy machines) may be used by any person (including a public employee, whether during work hours or otherwise) in order to promote or oppose a political candidate or ballot question or for the purpose of disseminating materials that advocate a particular vote on a ballot question or a political candidate. Further, in addition to a prohibition of any type of political fundraising on state property, a public employee is further prohibited from soliciting or receiving, directly or indirectly, any contribution for any political purpose. The Internet shall not be used to prevent others from being productive or to disrupt the operation of the College networks. This encompasses email spamming, sending harassing or threatening email, or sending messages under an assumed name. Harassment of any kind is prohibited. No member of the community, under any circumstance, may use the College’s computers or networks to libel, slander, or harass any other person. The following shall constitute computer harassment: (1) using the computer to annoy, harass, terrify, intimidate, threaten, offend, or bother another person by conveying obscene language, pictures, or other materials or threats of bodily harm to the recipient or the recipient’s immediate family; (2) using the computer to contact another person repeatedly with the intent to annoy, harass, or bother, whether or not any actual message is communicated, and/or where no purpose of legitimate communication exists, and where the recipient has expressed a desire for the communication to cease; (3) using the computer to contact another person repeatedly regarding a matter for which one does not have a legal right to communicate, once the recipient has provided reasonable notice that he or she desires such communication to cease; (4) using the computer to disrupt or damage the academic research, administrative, or related pursuits of another; and (5) using the computer to invade the privacy, academic or otherwise, of another or to threaten the invasion of privacy of another. Any malicious or illegal activity will not be tolerated. The College retains the right to notify the proper officials of any wrongdoing. A user may not access, download, store, or transmit child pornographic materials or obscene materials. Downloading Software To prevent computer viruses from being transmitted through the College network, users should exercise caution, have the latest virus protection software loaded on their systems, and download files and programs to only one directory. The directory should have a virus check performed before opening or attaching the downloaded material. Scan the file or object and, if a virus is detected, take action to prevent replication of the virus. Repair the contents of the file whenever possible. If you received a virus-infected file, notify the Internet site or user that he or she has a virus. Call Information Services at ext. 1139 if assistance is needed.

Catalog 2011–2012 Copyright Issues Copyrighted material may not be used without the permission of the creator. This means you cannot send it through email or post it on a website. One copy of copyrighted material may be downloaded for your personal use in academic or professional research. Users are not permitted to copy, transfer, rename, add, or delete information or programs belonging to other users unless given the express permission to do so by the creator. Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (Public Law 105-304) 17 U.S.C. 1203 (I)(1)(A), which was enacted into law on October 28, 1998, any user of the College’s computer system network who engages in copyright infringement shall have his or her access privileges terminated. Security Users are solely responsible for all materials viewed, stored, or transmitted by way of the College’s computer system. The College expects, however, that users will comply with all College rules and state and federal laws related to Internet use. Failure to do so may result in the suspension or revocation of a user’s access privileges. Further, users should have no expectation of privacy over email transmissions, and the College reserves the right to access email accounts for routine system maintenance, technical problems, or criminal investigations. Violations Violations of any guidelines listed above may result in disciplinary actions up to and including termination. If necessary, the College will advise appropriate legal officials of any violations. Any user who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. Further, inappropriate use, whether intentional or not, may result in civil and/or criminal liability, and/or a violation of the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Massachusetts wiretap and/or privacy laws, defamation, copyright and/or trademark infringement laws, and/or sexual harassment or discrimination laws. Specific Laboratory Use Policies The General Use Policies are designed for all faculty, staff, administrators, and students in most working or learning areas. However, specific laboratories, the Library, and work areas will need to develop policies specific to their unique environments. Library Internet Acceptable Use Policy The Massasoit Community College Library aims to develop collections, resources, and services that meet the educational, informational, cultural, and recreational needs of Massasoit’s diverse community. In response to these goals, the advances in technology, and the changing needs of the community, the Massasoit Library provides access to the Internet as a library reference tool. The Internet is a worldwide network of computers that provides access to a wide range of materials for educational, recreational, and reference use. The Massasoit Library does not control the content of the information that resides on the Internet, nor is there an outside central control over its use or content. The Massasoit Library does not use filtering software to block access to information resources and cannot protect its users from information or graphic images that they may find offensive. Internet access for research purposes is provided equally to all library users, regardless of age. Parents or guardians, not the library or its staff, are responsible for the Internet information accessed by their children. Parents—and only parents—may restrict their children—and only their children—from accessing Internet resources. We suggest that parents concerned about the types of materials available on the Internet supervise their children as they

Catalog 2011–2012 explore Internet sites and help them select resources consistent with their family’s values. Massasoit can only be held accountable for information that appears on the World Wide Web pages produced by the library. These are identifiable by the Massasoit logo that appears on all of Massasoit’s pages. Like other information resources, not all sources on the Internet provide accurate, complete, or current information. Users need to be good information consumers, questioning and evaluating the validity of information that they find. For a complete list of responsibilities of the Library and its Internet users, please see Mission/Policies link/Internet on the Library homepage. Pluralism Policy The Community Colleges have historically been a major contributing element to the emergence of our nation as one of the most technologically and economically advanced societies of the world. The important role that the Community Colleges can play is profoundly dependent upon the extent to which they may draw from the full collective of intellectual resources within each College’s community of scholars, students, and administrators. Any condition or force that impedes the fullest utilization of the human and intellectual resources available represents a force of destructive consequence for the development of our Commonwealth and, ultimately, our nation. Community College students, faculty, staff, and visitors must be free from conduct that has the purpose or effect of interfering with an individual’s academic or professional performance and creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning educational or employment environment. Therefore, the Community Colleges establish a policy of unequivocal condemnation of all forms of ethnic, religious, cultural, or racial intolerance within the fifteen College communities. This policy condemns all conditions and all actions or omissions, including all acts of verbal harassment or abuse, which deny or have the effect of denying to an individual his or her rights to equality, dignity, and security in violation of his or her rights guaranteed under the law. The policy reaffirms the doctrine of civility, appreciation for pluralism, and the preeminence of individual human dignity as preconditions to the achievement of an academic community that recognizes and utilizes the resources of all persons while recognizing and reaffirming the tenets of academic freedom. The Community Colleges recognize their obligation to protect the rights of free inquiry and expression, and nothing herein shall be construed or applied so as to abridge the exercise of rights under the Constitution of the United States and other federal and state laws. The Community Colleges will vigorously strive to achieve diversity sufficiently reflective of our society. However, diversity alone will not suffice. There must be a unity and cohesion in the diversity that we seek to achieve, thereby creating an environment of pluralism. The Community Colleges bear a responsibility by edict and an obligation by social morality to promote understanding and acceptance of ethnic, cultural, religious, and racial diversity as we strive to create an atmosphere of dignity for all individuals and groups within our system of public higher education. The President will take reasonable measures to prevent and discourage harassment and will act positively to investigate alleged harassment and to effect a remedy or resolution when an allegation is determined to be valid. Smoking/Tobacco Policy Massasoit Community College is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and to promoting the health and well-being of its employees and students. As required by the state of Massachusetts and motivated by our desire to provide a healthy work and learning environment for our employees and students, this policy was implemented during the Fall 2011 semester. The smoking/tobacco policy applies to all Massasoit Community College employees, students, and visitors. The use of tobacco includes all tobacco products, including chewing tobacco. Successful implementation of this policy requires a College-wide cooperative effort. Smoking/tobacco will be allowed in designated parking lots: Lots 2 & 3 in Brockton, and Rear Parking Lot in Canton. Although education and smoking cessation programs are the preferred interventions, violators may be subject to disciplinary actions as identified in the appropriate collective bargaining agreements or personnel policies, as well as the

Catalog 2011–2012 Massachusetts Community College Student Code of Conduct. Visitors to the campus will be directed to dispose of their cigarettes and tobacco products in the appropriate receptacles provided in designated areas. We believe that the spirit of thoughtfulness and cooperation that is characteristic of the college is adequate to resolve the vast majority of disputes that arise from this policy. Disciplinary measures would be expected to be reserved for repeat infractions and infractions that interfere with the College’s academic or workplace needs or responsibilities. The policy will be communicated to all members of the campus community. The College’s Smoking/Tobacco Policy will be included in formal orientation for all incoming students and employees and posted on the College website. In addition, all supervisors and department heads will communicate the Smoking/Tobacco Policy to everyone within their areas of responsibility. Solicitation Policy Commercial ventures are not permitted to operate or solicit on College property. The posting of advertisements on College property is subject to the College’s Bulletin Board Policy. College offices and committees appointed by the President of the College may conduct fundraising activities, which are directly related to their functional purposes. Materials produced for the promotion of the event must bear the name of the sponsoring office or committee.

Quality Point or Grade Point Average (QPA or GPA) The number of Quality or Grade Points earned is determined by multiplying the grade point value earned by the credits granted for that course. For example, a student receiving a grade of C in a 3-credit course would receive 6 Quality or Grade Points (i.e., grade point value of 2.0 times the 3 credits successfully completed). The semester Quality or Grade Point Average is determined by dividing the total of the Quality or Grade Points earned in the semester by the sum of credits successfully completed. The cumulative Quality or Grade Point Average (QPA/GPA) is the total of all quality points acquired divided by the total of all credits attempted. For example, 26 quality or grade points divided by 13 credits equals a 2.0 QPA or GPA. Three-semester students will follow the program requirements for the semester that they were previously admitted.

Refund Policy Credit Courses Fall and Spring semesters Withdrawal before classes begin: 100% of tuition and fees minus $50. Withdrawal during the first week of class: 100% of tuition and fees minus $50.

Catalog 2011–2012

Repeating a Course A course in which a student received a C- or below may be repeated without prior approval. A course in which a student received a grade of C or higher may be repeated only with prior approval. Waiver to Repeat a Course forms are available in the Registrar’s Office.

Financial Aid Repeat Course Policy Effective July 1, 2011, the Federal Department of Education revised its policies regarding repeat course eligibility for financial aid. The Financial Aid Repeat Course Policy does not match the College policy, but is based on new federal repeat course regulations. •

A student may receive financial aid to repeat without limit, any failed or withdrawn course until a passing grade is received.

•

Once a passing grade is received in a course, financial aid can be used one time to repeat that same course. Financial aid cannot be used to repeat this same course an additional time.

A student may not receive financial aid: •

to repeat any course for which they received transfer credit (“T”) unless it is a BIOL course which has expired (taken more than 7 years ago).

•

to repeat a course in which they have an active “I”(Incomplete). If a student wishes to receive financial aid, they need to make up the work and receive a grade for the course, or wait to receive an “F” before they retake it.

Laboratory courses may carry additional credit hours, usually at the rate of 1 credit per two-hour lab. Sixty or more semester hours (but no more than 70) are required for graduation from degree programs, depending on the curriculum in which a student is enrolled.

Services for Students with Disabilities The Goal of the Disability Service Providers The goal of the disability service providers at Massasoit Community College is to facilitate equal access to postsecondary education for students with disabilities and promote the standards set forth by the Association on Higher Education and Disabilities. How to Access Services Upon acceptance to the College, students with documented disabilities who require support services and/or accommodations are given the opportunity to identify a disability. As soon as possible, students are encouraged to contact one of the disability service providers and self-identify. It is recommended that students schedule an appointment with the disability provider to discuss the need for specific services and accommodations and bring the appropriate documentation with them to the meeting. How “Disability” Is Defined under the Law A person with a disability is defined as “any person who (1) has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person’s major life activities, or (2) has a record of such an impairment, or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment.” Assistive Technology Available in ARC In the ARC (Academic Resource Center), we have a variety of technology designed to assist you with your studies. Please meet with a disability counselor to learn more available assistive technology. Dragon Naturally Speaking: Voice recognition computer program, which creates Word Documents from speech. You speak, it types. A great resource for students with dysgraphia or spelling and/or typing issues. Kurzweil 3000: Software program that scans documents and reads them. It also can assist writing.

Eligibility for Services Massasoit Community College is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation in all college programs and activities for persons with disabilities. As outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, “No otherwise qualified person with a Disability in the United States shall, solely by reason of disability, be denied the benefits of, be excluded from participation in, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal assistance.” A “qualified person with a disability” is defined as one who meets the requisite academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in the postsecondary institution’s programs and activities. Section 504 protects the civil rights of individuals who are qualified to participate and who have disabilities such as, but not limited to, the following:

· blindness or visual impairments · cerebral palsy · deafness or hearing impairments · drug or alcohol addiction · epilepsy or seizure disorders · orthopedic impairment · specific learning disability · speech disorder · spinal cord or traumatic brain injury · chronic illnesses, such as AIDS, arthritis, cancer, cardiac diseases, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, psychiatric disabilities

Documentation of a Disability After receiving a letter of acceptance from the College, students who are requesting accommodations must provide current documentation of the disability to the disability service provider. Documentation furnished by the students “through medical, psychological, educational, and professional reports is considered confidential.” Specific guidelines regarding documentation are provided to students by the disability service provider.

Catalog 2011–2012 Available Services Massasoit offers a range of support services to students with disabilities as defined by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which include: · academic, personal, transfer, and career advising · modified testing accommodations · individual or small-group tutoring · access to textbooks on tape · specialized support service programs · access to adaptive technology · referral to support service agencies and groups · prearranged interpreter services · accessible parking Procedures for Using Interpreters or CART Services Requests for interpreter or CART services must be made to Disability Services at least four weeks prior to the start of the semester. The College hires only appropriately credentialed and qualified interpreters. Students are expected and urged to become consumers of the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission. Due to the logistical demands of scheduling of interpreters or arranging for CART services, a student’s course schedule should be finalized as soon as possible. We strongly recommend meeting with a disability counselor to facilitate the student’s schedule. Massasoit Community College encourages students with disabilities to self-advocate in order to ensure academic success.

To schedule an appointment call 508-588-9100 and key in the appropriate extension: GED Exam - ext. 1994 GED Review Classes - ext. 1509 Placement Testing - ext. 1991 or 1992 Nursing Exams – Go on line to atitesting.com to schedule a Nursing Test. It is called TEAS. Biological Principles Challenge Exam - ext. 1990 ESL Testing - ext. 1811 GED Test Information GED (General Educational Development) is a test of high school equivalency. Even though you have not finished high school, you have probably gained knowledge and skills through experience, reading, and informal training. The GED Tests are designed to measure the important knowledge and skills, usually learned during four years of high school, that you may have obtained in a different manner. People who meet the standards established by both the American Council on Education / GED Testing Service and the Massachusetts Board of Education will receive a Massachusetts High School Equivalency Diploma. You can contact the GED Office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 508-588-9100, ext. 1994. For GED Review Classes call 508-588-9100, ext. 1509. Placement Testing The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education wants all of us to be proud of the quality and rigor of the college-level programs and courses offered by the public colleges and universities in Massachusetts. The Board is also eager for students to succeed in their college-level work. Thus, the Board requires all students attending public colleges in Massachusetts to take a series of placement tests that assess skills in writing, reading, and mathematics. The tests are not evaluated in terms of passing or failing. Rather, the tests are used to decide which courses should be taken at the beginning of a student’s college career. Some students proceed directly into college-level courses, and some students will need to take skills-building courses in one or more areas to prepare for college-level work. Skills-building courses such as Introductory Writing, Preparing for College Reading I and II, Fundamentals of Mathematics, and Introductory Algebra are designed to help students succeed in their college courses. Although the credits earned by these courses do not count toward graduation, up to thirty (30) credits may be used when determining financial aid eligibility.

Catalog 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2012 Assessments ACCUPLACER is an assessment developed to help students entering a Community College achieve their educational goals. ACCUPLACER will help you identify your academic strengths and needs so that you can plan an appropriate schedule of course work at Massasoit Community College. ACCUPLACER will give you information about your skills in reading and mathematics and will tell you at what level you need to begin your college studies. ACCUPLACER is administered on a personal computer. You will read the instructions and questions on the computer monitor and select your answers using the keyboard or mouse. After completing ACCUPLACER and receiving your scores, you will meet with an academic advisor to discuss your results and plan your schedule of courses. Types of questions on the Assessments Essay Writing You will be asked to write an essay of about 300 words. You will be given a choice of topics, and you will probably know something about at least one of them. You will have 50 minutes in which to write your essay. The evaluators of your writing sample will hope to see an essay that responds to the question that is asked, that sticks to its main idea, and that uses clear and logical examples to back up the idea. They will expect an essay with a sense of beginning, middle, and end, and they will hope to see that the essay is substantially correct in its grammar and usage. (They will not expect perfection because they understand that you have time only to write a first draft.) If your writing sample indicates that essay writing is still a substantial challenge for you, you will be placed into Introductory Writing. If you are ready to succeed in college-level writing, you will be placed in English Composition I. Reading Comprehension This test is designed to measure how well you understand what you read. It contains 20 questions. Some are of the sentence-relationship type in which you must choose how sentences are related. Other questions refer to reading passages of varying lengths. Arithmetic The arithmetic test measures your skills in three primary categories. The first is operations with whole numbers and fractions. This includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and recognizing equivalent fractions and mixed numbers. The second category involves operations with decimals and percents. It includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as percent problems, decimal recognition, fraction, and percent equivalencies, and estimation problems. The last category tests applications and problem solving. Questions include rate, percent, and measurement problems; geometry problems; and distribution of quantity into its fractional parts. A total of 16 questions will be asked. Elementary Algebra There are three categories in the Elementary Algebra Test. The first category, operations with integers and rational numbers, includes computation with integers and negative rationals, the use of absolute values, and ordering. The second category is operations with algebraic expressions. It tests your skills in evaluating simple formulas and expressions and in adding and subtracting monomials and polynomials. Both of these categories include questions about multiplying and dividing monomials and polynomials, evaluating positive rational roots and exponents, simplifying algebraic fractions, and factoring. The third category tests skill in solving equations, inequalities, and word problems. These questions include solving systems of linear equations, quadratic equations by factoring, verbal problems presented in algebraic context, geometric reasoning, the translation of written phrases into algebraic expressions, and graphing. Twelve questions are presented.

Biological Principles Challenge Exam This test measures a student’s knowledge of Biological Principles, which is a prerequisite for most other 4-credit biology courses at the College. This instrument covers the basic foundations of biology. Some of the topics include scientific method, evolution, cellular and sub-cellular structure, basic cell chemistry, transport across cell membranes, mitosis, meiosis, metabolism, photosynthesis, DNA structure and replication, and protein synthesis and patterns of inheritance. Students who are considering taking this test should have taken a college-level biology course. The test involves 100 multiple-choice questions, and a student must answer three out of five essay questions. A student needs to answer 60% of the questions to pass. Fifty points are given for the essay and 50 points are given for the multiple-choice section. The textbook used for this course is Biology, 10th edition, by Campbell and Reece. This book is on reserve at the Massasoit Library. ESL/ESOL Testing Students whose first language is not English are assessed for English proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The assessment test takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and is administered by an ESL faculty member. Potential ESL students are assessed for ESL proficiency instead of for placement into Introduction to Writing, English Composition, or Preparing for College Reading. Students not ready for Massasoit’s college ESL classes are directed to alternative community service programs for further development of their English skills. Massasoit’s college-credit ESL classes award graduation credit for General, Liberal Arts, or Humanities Electives in all programs at the College. To schedule an ESL Assessment test, please call extension 1790. The ESL assessment test is administered by appointment only on both the Brockton and Canton campuses.

Catalog 2011–2012 examinations, or for prior learning. Courses Completed Elsewhere Courses from an accredited college or university will be eligible for transfer to Massasoit Community College. The College most often accepts courses in transfer whose content is similar to a Massasoit course. A maximum of 10 courses or 30 credits (whichever is greater) may be applied in transfer to an associate’s degree, and a maximum of half the credits required for a certificate program may be applied in transfer. The student must provide a sealed, official transcript and/or certificate for evaluation by the Registrar before transfer credit can be awarded. Transcripts in any language other than English must be accompanied by supporting official translation into English. Additional information may be required of the student. Massasoit requires the following criteria for transfer credit: 1.

College-level courses (developmental courses will not be accepted in transfer, but may be considered for placement purposes).

Advanced Placement Exam scores must be 3 or higher to receive credit. (Advanced Placement high school credit will not be accepted in transfer.)

Once transfer credits are awarded, the student will receive a transfer credit evaluation of which courses were accepted in transfer and their Massasoit equivalents. Transfer credits are identified with a grade of T and are not calculated into the GPA. ACT PEP Test ACT PEP Tests for Microbiology and Anatomy & Physiology will be accepted provided that the student receives a grade of 45 or higher and demonstrates adequate laboratory experience as determined by the department on a case-by-case basis. Advanced Placement Test The College Board’s Advanced Placement Test will be accepted for credit for courses in departments that approve the test. The department will also specify for which course credit will be given and which score on the test is necessary to receive credit. Challenge Examinations The purpose of Challenge Examinations is to present the student with an opportunity to receive credit for knowledge in courses not evaluated by CLEP. This primarily means courses in career programs. Any student wishing to take Challenge Examinations should see the appropriate department chairperson. CLEP CLEP (College Level Examination Program) is a series of examinations designed to measure knowledge acquired through non-traditional methods of study. If students have any questions about CLEP credit, they should contact the Registrar or a Counselor.

This procedure calls for the interested student to petition the Office for Prior Learning in the Division of Faculty and Instruction. College credit will be awarded to qualified students through a process of assessment and documentation arranged through consultation between the CPL Office and appropriate faculty. Students must pay for the assessment and any credit awarded. Students will not be permitted to apply for Part II of any skill-oriented, sequential course until credit has been granted for Part I, such as typing, word processing, or shorthand.

Business Administration Careers / General Business

English Composition I* Principles of Financial Accounting I Mathematics Elective** Introduction to Business Business Law I

The Business Administration Careers (BAC) Program has been designed to allow and encourage the acquisition of specific skills that will enable the student to enter and perform successfully in a variety of career paths within business. The student will attain focus in his or her studies by concentrating in a sequence of courses collectively referred to as an Option. There are currently five Options that exist within the Business Administration Careers Program, four of which follow specific career paths: Accounting, Marketing, Supervisory Management, and Hospitality Management. Students who are uncertain of which specific career path they wish to follow should select a fifth Option: General Business. General Business | Accounting | Hospitality Management | Marketing | Supervisory Management | Transfer The sequencing of specific course requirements within the Business Administration Careers Program allows the student whose career interests change after the first semester to switch Options or to switch into the transfer program (Business Administration Transfer) with no risk of having to make up courses. Students are encouraged to consult with advisors before choosing any Option sequence; such a choice is often not made until the end of the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first semester.

Computer Technology and Information Management User Support Option The Computer Technology and Information Management (CTIM) Department at Massasoit Community College offers a highly successful array of programs to prepare its graduates for career advancement opportunities in the computer and information technologies fields. During the past two decades, the information-processing industry has expanded so rapidly that all aspects of daily life are affected by the gathering, processing and dissemination of information. At the same time the industry has changed from one in which computers and those who understand and operate them are objects of mystery to one in which everyone living in a technological society has access to computers.

Because of these changes, career paths in Computer Information Systems have also evolved. Those who wish to work with computers no longer have to choose programming as their only option. The User Support option of the Computer Information Systems program will train students to solve the everyday computing problems of computer users in the workplace. Students will learn a wide variety of applications software, as well as software design, systems design, operating systems, and data communications, but will apply this study to prepackaged software and computer systems rather than to writing original programs. Upon graduation they should be able to support other computer users in business and industry. They will be able to study one or more programming languages as electives if they choose to do so.
