General Information_________________________________________________________________

Cuyahoga Community College Education at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) is a life-changing experience. More than 900,000 present and former students have been touched by the Tri-C experience. Tri-C has enriched the lives and helped build solid futures for all who have attended, from the hopeful students who stood in line at the Brownell School building in 1963 to register for Tri-C’s first classes to today’s students who register through the Internet. The far-reaching effects of education at Tri-C have touched not only the individual students but their families, as well as the entire community.

The faculty, staff and administration at Tri-C are dedicated to providing innovative and flexible services to students and the broader community as a whole. This commitment is expressed by developing a curriculum and delivering an academic experience that will produce students who are competitive within the job market, welleducated and informed.

College Climate and Commitment to Diversity and Affirmative Action The College embraces human diversity and is committed to affirmative action and equal opportunity. The College is committed to eliminating discrimination and harassment in the workplace and academic environment.

History of Cuyahoga Community College, the Campuses and Corporate College® On September 23, 1963, the largest first day enrollment for a community college in the nation’s history took place at Tri-C ‘s first home, the 19th century Brownell School building in downtown Cleveland, which was leased from

the Cleveland Board of Education. The initial enrollment was just over 3,000 students. Today, Tri-C serves more than 52,000 credit and non-credit students each year.

Now one of the largest colleges in Ohio and the largest in Greater Cleveland, Tri-C has expanded to four modern campuses in downtown Cleveland, Parma, Highland Hills and Westlake, as well as two Corporate College® sites in Westlake and Warrensville Heights. Other facilities include the District Administrative Services in Cleveland and the Unified Technologies Center (UTC) adjacent to the Metropolitan Campus. Tri-C opened its beautiful and spacious 50,000-square-foot Advanced Technology Training Center (ATTC) in October 2012. The ATTC features high-bay labs, multipurpose training areas and an energy-efficient environment for learning and offers the latest state-of-the-art technology and curriculum. The ATTC provides students with education, hands-on training and employment preparation skills for well-paying jobs and provides employers with a constant feeder system of job-ready candidates for the in-demand high-tech industry.

Admissions, Registration and Money Matters ____________________________________________

Admissions Admission to Tri-C is open to all high school graduates, anyone with documentation of successful GED completion, as well as to non-high school graduates participating in dual enrollment programs, and those 18 years of age or older.

It is not necessary to enroll in a specific program to be admitted to Tri-C. Students can enroll in as few as one or two courses to pursue a general interest, or can enroll in a two-year program to prepare to transfer to a four-year college, or choose a career/occupational program to prepare for employment.

The general admissions procedure of Tri-C does NOT ENSURE ADMITTANCE TO A PARTICULAR COURSE OR PROGRAM. In some instances, certain courses may be restricted to program majors. Admission to a specific program may be competitive or require specific minimum qualifications. Some students may be requested to enroll in special courses to eliminate deficiencies in academic preparation.

Applicants are urged to begin their admission process well in advance. High school students may apply in their senior year for entrance after high school graduation.

Students may attend more than one campus.

Student records are inactivated after a period of three consecutive years where no registration activity has occurred. Students with an inactive status must reapply for admission to the College on-line.

How to Apply 1.

You can apply online at www.tri-c.edu/apply/ or in person at any campus Enrollment Center

2.

Submit an official high school transcript and/or GED transcript. Request the high school or GED office to send transcript directly to the Office of the Registrar, P.O. Box 5966, Cleveland, OH 44101-0966. GED transcript request forms are available in the Enrollment Center.

Residency Requirements Tri-C is supported by the taxpayers of Cuyahoga County and assisted by the State of Ohio. Students who are not

20

Cuyahoga County residents pay out-of-county or out-ofstate fees. A student’s official residency status is determined at the point of admission according to the residency policies of the State of Ohio, the Ohio Board of Regents and the Tri-C Board of Trustees. A change to a Cuyahoga County address does not constitute an automatic change to in-county residency for tuition purposes. It is the student’s responsibility to request a change of residency status and provide supporting documentation to the Enrollment Center by the end of the first week for the full term of the semester in which the student is requesting a change of residency.

There are four categories, eight exemptions, one provision and one procedure under which a student may qualify for a change of residency status if the requirements of that category or exemption are satisfied.

For more information, please go to www.tri-c.edu/apply/Pages/Residencyinformation.aspx or any campus Enrollment Center for more information.

Selective Service All male U.S. citizens, and those with a permanent resident card between the age of 18 and 25, are required to register with Selective Service to qualify for in-county or in-state tuition rates and to be eligible for financial aid.

The admission application requires a Selective Service Registration number or reason for exemption. Contact the Enrollment Center for information. In accordance with the Defense Department Authorization Act (Pub. L. 97252) and Ohio Revised Code §3345.32, any student who is required to register with the Selective Service and fails to do so will be ineligible for federal and state of Ohio student financial aid funds. Contact the Student Financial Aid & Scholarship Office at any campus for further information.

International/Foreign Students U.S. immigration laws impose a variety of requirements or restrictions on college enrollment. If you already have or are applying for the status of an F-1 nonimmigrant student, you must consult with a campus Special Student Services Coordinator before applying and registering for classes. F-1 students with an I-20 form from Tri-C must successfully complete a minimum of 12 credits per semester in order to maintain status. No more than one 3-credit course taken via distance learning/e-learning will apply towards the 12 credit minimum. A Special Student Services Coordinator is available at one of the campuses to address deadlines for F-1 international student admission and for other F-1 information.

New Student Orientation Our mandatory First Year Experience is designed to help students with understanding college expectations, program choices, and identifying what coursework is needed for enrollment. The First Year Experience begins with an in-person Orientation. Tri-C’s New Student Orientation sessions are designed to assess, inform, and prepare students prior to beginning classes. Orientation is required for students new to college and recommended for students who have previously attended another college or university. Orientation provides students with information essential for successfully beginning and proceeding with their education at Tri-C. For more information about orientation and initial academic advising, contact the Counseling Department at 216-987-6000 and selecting option #4.

Transfer from Tri-C The process of transferring courses from Tri-C to another college or university begins by meeting with a Tri-C counselor to ensure that the student enrolls in the appropriate courses.

It is the student’s responsibility to schedule a meeting with the appropriate admissions office at the receiving college or university to ensure that all requirements for admission and transfer to the receiving school have been met. An official transcript of courses completed at Tri-C will be required by the receiving college or university.

Transcripts can be ordered on line at: http://www.tric.edu/transcripts/Pages/default.aspx and cost is $5.00 per transcript.

Because of the highly specialized nature of courses in career programs, many are not designed for transfer to a four-year institution. The exception to this is any course in an approved articulation agreement with a four-year college or university. A counselor can provide information about which programs offer this option.

Students should also note that courses with numbers lower than 1000 usually do not transfer (see Course Numbering in this Catalog, pgs. 240 and 494).

Representatives from four-year colleges often visit the campuses to help Tri-C students plan their transfer programs. Acceptance of credit is always at the discretion of the receiving institution.

Transfer to Tri-C from another College Students who wish to transfer to Tri-C should follow the established admissions procedures. The acceptance of transfer credits by Tri-C will be determined to the extent feasible within the context of agreements and working

relationships between Tri-C and other institutions of higher learning.

Tri-C has agreed to accept credit from colleges and universities accredited by regional accrediting associations. Tri-C also accepts credit from other institutions that can demonstrate that instruction provided at their institution meets Tri-C’s standards.

Transfer credit may be awarded for courses earned through the college-level United States Armed Forces Institute (U.S.A.F.I.).

Transient (Visiting) Status If a student wishes to take a course for credit at another institution while attending Tri-C, he or she may do so and can usually avoid having to go through the admissions procedure at the other institution by requesting Transient (Visiting) status as follows: 1.

Request a Transient (Visiting) Student form from the Counseling Office.

2.

Complete the form, obtain approval from a counselor, and return it to the Enrollment Center.

3.

The Enrollment Center will confirm the student’s status so that credit earned at the other institution can be properly credited to the student’s permanent Tri-C record. This information will also be sent to the institution where the student is seeking Transient (Visiting) status.

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program/College Credit Plus The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) provides the opportunity for eligible high school students to earn college credit and/or high school credit.

This experience is the beginning of the official academic record (transcript) of the student’s college studies.

The PSEOP benefits students in several ways. Students take courses not available in their schools that complement their educational programs. This enriches the high school experience and encourages exploration of new fields through exposure to collegiate teaching methods, course content and procedures.

Consult with a high school counselor and the Special Student Services Coordinator at any campus for more information on admission criteria.

Program 60 Admission Through Program 60, residents of Ohio aged 60 and older may register for regularly scheduled credit and noncredit classes on an audit, tuition-free, space-available basis. Registrations are processed in-person through the Enrollment Center on the date published for Program 60 registration in the semester Enrollment Guide. Program 60 registration will not be accepted prior to the dates advertised. Please confirm class availability with an Enrollment Center representative at time of registration.

College Tech Prep The North Coast Tech Prep Partnership prepares students for high skill, high demand technical careers in a competitive global economy. Rigorous educational pathways emphasize math, science and technology and lead to postsecondary education. Educators, employers and communities collaborate to develop and deliver Tech Prep opportunities to all North Coast Tech Prep Partnership students.

The curriculum reflects real-world technical careers in high demand today. Programs may be offered in the following career fields: Agriculture and Environmental Systems, Arts and Communication, Business and Administrative Services, Construction Technologies, Education and Training, Engineering and Science Technologies, Finance, Government and Public Administration, Health Sciences, Hospitality and Tourism, Human Services, Information Technology, Law and Public Safety, Manufacturing Technologies, Marketing, and Transportation Systems.

Tri-C serves as a higher education partner of the North Coast Tech Prep Partnership, offering college credits to Tech Prep Students. Tech Prep enables a smooth transition from high school into two and four-year college degree programs.

All North Coast Tech Prep students have the opportunity to earn college credit while enrolled in a College Tech Prep program at their high school. Uncompromising standards, outstanding instruction, employer involvement, and parental guidance enable College Tech Prep students to enter postsecondary education without the need for remediation in math or English; and, earn state and/or nationally recognized industry specific certifications.

For more information regarding College Tech Prep, please call 216-987-4987 or visit www.techprep4u.com.

Career Technical Credit Transfer Career Technical Credit Transfer (CT2) is a collaborative effort among the Ohio Board of Regents, the Ohio Department of Education’s Office of Career-Technical & Adult Education, public secondary/adult career-technical education institutions and state supported institutions of higher education. The career technical credit transfer initiative ensures that students at an adult careertechnical institution or secondary career-technical education institution can transfer successfully-completed technical courses that adhere to recognized industry standards to any state institution of higher education without unnecessary duplication or institutional barriers.

Career Technical Credit Transfer is meant to complement the College Tech Prep program. See Appendix III for information on Career Technical Assurance Guides (CTAG) which identify the specific courses which are part of the statewide guarantee. Additional information can also be found on the Ohio Board of Regents web site: https://ohiohighered.org/transfer/ct2.

Registration Students must be admitted to Tri-C before registering for classes. Students can register online or in-person at the Enrollment Center. Please visit http://www.tric.edu/apply/new/ for complete registration instructions.

Waitlist Waitlisting allows a student to add themselves to a waitlist for a class that has met its maximum enrollment limit. This gives a student the opportunity to register for a closed class when a seat becomes available.

When a seat becomes available, an email notification is sent to the student who is next in line on the waitlist. The student has exactly 18 hours, including weekends and other days the College is closed, to register for the course, or they will be dropped from the waitlist. Notifications are sent to the student's Tri-C email address. If the student does not register within the 18-hour period, the student will be dropped from the waitlist and the next student is notified. For additional information, go to https://portal.tri-c.edu/waitlist/.

Full-Time/Part-Time Status A student must take at least 12 semester credits to be considered a full-time student. A counselor or advisor may recommend a heavier or lighter load depending on ability and/or past performance. A part-time student is one who is registered for 11 credits or less.

Each credit usually requires a minimum of two hours of outside study each week. A student employed full-time should probably not attempt to carry more than two courses per semester. A student who is working parttime might consider taking more than two courses per semester, depending on other demands made on her/his time.

Assessment Services Tri-C will assess the English and mathematics skills of its students and prescribe enrollment in appropriate English and mathematics courses to maximize the student’s opportunities for open access, equity, and academic excellence.

The English and mathematics placement tests are mandatory at Tri-C and are used to assess the skills of incoming students. Taking the placement tests seriously and doing well on them could reduce the number of courses that students are required to take.

Students must complete a preparation for placement testing experience and return completed sample test questions to a Campus Assessment Testing Center before taking the placement tests. Placement testing information and preparation materials are available at: http://www.tri-c.edu/placement.

Students must complete the College admission process before taking the assessment tests.

______________________________________________________________Cuyahoga Community College Catalog 2014-2015

____________________________________________ Admissions, Registration and Money Matters Assessment tests are administered on the computer and are not timed. Students may use the online calculator provided by the testing center for the math assessment.

Changes in Curriculum, Fees and Other Requirements

Students may use qualifying ACT scores instead of taking the COMPASS math and English placement tests. Please contact an Assessment Center for information.

The Board of Trustees of the Cuyahoga Community College reserves the right to change, at any time and without notice, graduation requirements, fees and other charges, curriculum, course structure and content, and such other matters as may be within its control, notwithstanding any information set forth in this Catalog.

Persons holding a college degree may have the assessment/placement process waived.

Money Matters

Placement scores will be valid for two years from the date when the test was taken.

Tuition and Fees

Students should take assessment results to counseling appointments and/or orientation sessions.

Students may retake their placement tests one time within two years. Additional attempts will cost $10 each and will require the student to submit a petition to retest.

Students whose native language is not English must take the COMPASS English as a Second Language test.

Fast Forward Fast Forward is a requirement at Tri-C which mandates students who place into developmental classes enroll and complete these classes during the first semester.

Completing developmental courses first increases students’ basic skill levels, which can increase their chances of success in college-level coursework.

Cancelled Classes Occasionally Tri-C must cancel a class because of insufficient enrollment. Every effort is made to notify students when this occurs. Those affected may register for a different class during the registration period.

Prerequisites Prerequisites are established by each department, for each course in that department, to ensure that the student has an adequate and sufficient background to enroll in a course and achieve success. A passing grade of “C” or better is required. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he or she has met the prerequisites for any course in which he or she enrolls. Prerequisites will be checked at the time of registration. If the student is unsure that the prerequisite has been met, he or she should consult with the academic department or Counseling Office prior to registering for that course.

Note: Students who have taken prerequisite courses at Tri-C prior to Fall 1998 will be required to obtain an exception from a counselor or academic department in order to register for some courses.

Course Adjustment Period

Tri-C, supported by the taxpayers of Cuyahoga County and assisted by the State of Ohio, maintains modest tuition and fees, both of which are subject to review during any academic year by the Board of Trustees and may be changed at its discretion with the approval of the Ohio Board of Regents.

For current tuition and fees, please visit: www.tri-c.edu/payingforcollege/Pages/Tuition PaymentSchedule.aspx.

Refunds Refunds of tuition and fees for courses of academic credit will be made when students withdraw from a course and have already paid the tuition in full. Students who choose not to complete a course must officially withdraw from the course. Tri-C is not obligated to refund students who have not withdrawn or not paid the tuition, even if they did not attend a class.

The following schedule governs all refunds of tuition and fees for full-term courses of academic credit: Refund Period............................Full Semester First Week...................................100% Second Week..............................70% Third Week.................................50% Fourth Week...............................25% Fifth Week and after .................none The refund schedule for all parts of semester and the Summer Session will be determined in proportion to the full semester schedule.

Refunds of 100% of the instructional, general and supplemental fees are granted if Tri-C cancels a course, or if student withdraws during the 100% refund period (see preceding schedule).

No refunds are granted if a student is dismissed from Tri-C for disciplinary reasons.

Students may adjust their schedule during the first week of the term but can only enter a class that has not held the first scheduled session. Exceptions must be approved in writing by the academic Associate Dean responsible for the discipline. Contact the Enrollment Center or consult my Tri-C space for withdrawal/refund information.

Student Financial Aid Scholarships (SFAS) Financial aid consisting of scholarships, grants, loans and part-time student employment, is designed to supplement a student’s own resources. Student financial aid may be available for an entire academic year or for part of the year.

Per federal and state regulations, primary considerations in selecting financial aid recipients are based on financial need, U.S. citizenship or eligible non-citizenship status, and the potential to succeed in an academic program at Tri-C. Some types of financial aid are based on criteria other than financial need.

Check out Financial Aid TV – a collection of video clips providing quick answers to common questions. This online service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at: http://tri-c.financialaidtv.com.

SFAS Application Procedures for Financial Aid Students applying for financial aid are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
