SPSCC is proud to introduce the Associate in Music - Direct Transfer Agreement degree.

The program’s impact is expected to extend far beyond the SPSCC campus, causing a ripple effect throughout the Thurston County community. “We have really good K-12 programs in Olympia, but there’s a gap at the higher ed level,” said Jennifer Hermann, Executive Director of the Olympia Symphony Orchestra. “It will raise the whole stature of music in the community if we don’t have any gaps.”

in a small setting and develop a relationship with their professors and fellow students,” said Cameron May, a music faculty member at SPSCC.

Great community colleges are known for filling gaps in the community and using their focused resources, small class sizes, and affordable tuition to move their students toward a career. And that’s exactly what SPSCC is prepared to do through this two-year degree.

The intended path for program graduates is to transfer to a university and earn a bachelor’s degree or beyond in music. While many music graduates go into teaching or performing, there are other career opportunities, such as music producers, music marketers, music therapists, and music technicians.

Successful students will be prepared to audition for, and transfer into, a university music program as a junior, but will get a start in a smaller and more focused environment than most universities provide. “The program will let students experience their introductory music classes

The program combines performance ensemble training with private instruction in voice or instrument lessons.

At the end of each quarter, students will perform in the 500-seat Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts, where nearly every music performance sells out.

Students enrolling at SPSCC for this degree should select the Arts & Communications Pathway; see page 16 of this catalog.

Running Start Running Start is a statewide program that allows high school juniors and seniors to attend community college tuition-free, earn college credits, and transfer to most 4-year colleges and universities in Washington.

Each year, more than 1,200 Thurston County families choose Running Start at SPSCC for their high schoolers because they save significantly on college tuition. A student can earn an AA at the same time as a high school diploma, then transfer to a 4-year school as a college junior, saving a family $8,000+. Fee Waivers and Book Loans are available to qualifying students.

Students are highly successful in the Running Start program. They can also be invovled in student clubs, on-campus jobs, and study abroad programs. Students also enjoy other benefits, including independence and a diverse college experience.

To be eligible for Running Start, students must place into or have completed English 101. This can be done in several ways, like taking the College Placement Test at our Assessment Center. After applying to SPSCC, students should meet with their high school counselor to discuss graduation requirements for their high school, then choose how many classes to complete at high school and at SPSCC, up to 15 credits per quarter at SPSCC for full tuition coverage. More information about applying and the program can be found at spscc.edu/ apply/runningstart.

College in the High School College in the high school provides college-level academic courses taught at the high school by college-qualified high school teachers.

Sophomores, juniors and seniors can earn college credit when they successfully qualify for and pass the college-level course.

Students pay a fee for each course they enroll in. There are no other tuition or fee costs and materials are provided by the high school. If a course has a prerequisite, the student must meet the prerequisite in order to enroll in the course for college credit.

Credit from College in the High School is generally transferable to four year schools or students can continue on as a full time student at SPSCC after high school graduation. In many cases it might only take a few more quarters after high school graduation to complete an AA saving the student time and money on tuition.

NOTE: Although these courses are listed under categories, the actual course may satisfy a different general education category at a receiving institution.

1 Many private non-profit colleges and universities have distinct general education requirements. Students should check with institution(s) they plan to attend regarding application of transfer credits that will meet general education requirements.

2 Disciplines are sometimes called subject or subject matter areas and are designated by a prefix (i.e. PHIL for Philosophy and POLS for Political Science).

SPSCC offers college transfer courses in most fields for those who would like to concentrate their studies in a particular discipline or pursue a bachelor’s degree in the discipline specified.

The Associate in Business-Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program is designed for students interested in a pathway to transfer to a four-year school of business in Washington state.

Associate in Arts

DIRECT TRANSFER AGREEMENT (DTA)

(90 credits)

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Associate in Arts is designed for persons interested in transferring to a four-year college or university. Students who successfully complete degree requirements and elective courses recommended for their specific area of study will transfer to most four-year degree programs with junior standing.

In planning this degree students need to work closely with their advisor or a counselor as although the Associate in Arts Degree transfers to four-year colleges and universities in Washington State, it may not meet specific department requirements. (For example, business, engineering, education, etc.)

PROGRAM STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: General education introduces students to the content and methodology of the major areas of knowledge – communication, the humanities and fine arts, the natural sciences, mathematics and the social sciences – and helps them develop the intellectual skills that will make them more effective life-long learners.

The College’s general education program intended to meet the transfer requirements of the four-year colleges and universities as outlined in the Intercollegiate Relations Commission Handbook.

To earn an Associate in Arts degree all courses taken must be at college level (numbered 100 or above). A minimum of 75 of the 90 credits required for the degree must be from the General Education Requirements for the Associate in Arts & Science – Direct Transfer Agreement. Copies of the list are available on line at spscc.edu/areas/general-ed-requirements. A maximum of 15 credits will be allowed for courses numbered 100 or above that are not on the GE list. A class can only count once toward General Education requirements. For example, MATH 205 will satisfy either QUANTITATIVE or NATURAL SCIENCE course requirements, but not both. A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above in all college-level courses required.

DIRECT TRANSFER AGREEMENT (DTA)/Major Related Program (MRP) (90 credits)

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Based on a state-wide transfer agreement, the Associate in Business Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program, sometimes referred to as the Associate in Arts, is designed for persons interested in preparing for a business major and to enter as a junior at most baccalaureate institutions in the State of Washington. The courses outlined are considered course equivalents to the similar required lower division courses offered at the receiving baccalaureate institution.

PROGRAM STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: At the completion of the Associate in Business Direct Transfer Agreement program, the successful student will be able to: ⊲ Analyze and evaluate alternatives that lead to successful accomplishment of organizational objectives ⊲ Create and deliver information in written, oral and symbolic forms to convey information ⊲ Formulate strategies to collect and evaluate quantitative and qualitative data to support organizational objectives ⊲ Recognize and assess ethical dilemmas in the workplace ⊲ Recognize and adapt interpersonal behaviors and communication styles to effectively collaborate in a multicultural world ⊲ Appreciate the multiple contexts of business-social, political, economic and legal- within a domestic and global environment ⊲ Define how elements of the legal environment impact business ⊲ Record transactions and prepare financial statements for a business entity ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Business School Admission Admission to Washington public baccalaureate Schools of Business is not guaranteed to students holding an Associate in Business – DTA Degree. It is strongly recommended that students contact the baccalaureate-granting Business School early in their Associate in Business – DTA program to be advised about additional requirements (e.g., GPA) and procedures for admission.

Please note that admission for many Business schools is competitive and higher grade-point averages and course grades are often required. Please

check with your destination school and college. In addition, the minimum grade for business courses is a 2.0. These courses are denoted by an asterisk (*). UW Bothell requires a minimum of 2.0 in all prerequisite courses.

Specific University Information For program planning purposes, students are advised that the lowerdivision requirements for individual Washington public university business schools may vary.

Notes: 1. To meet current EWU requirements, the second English Composition course must be equivalent to EWU’s English 201- College Composition: Analysis, Research, and Documentation.

2. Students intending the international business major should consult their potential transfer institutions regarding the level of world language required for admission to the major. Five (5) credits in world languages may apply to the Humanities requirement.

3. Students are encouraged to include a speech or oral communication course (not small group communication).

4. Students intending the manufacturing management major at WWU should consult WWU regarding the selection of natural science courses required for admission to the major.

5. International students who completed a business law course specific to their home country must take a business law course at a U.S. institution in order to demonstrate proficiency in U.S. business law.

6. Four institutions have requirements for admission to the major that go beyond those specified above.

Engineering is a broad discipline, so each specialty will have different requirements. Students should work with a faculty advisor to select courses for the appropriate specialty. Depending on the degree requirements of a transfer baccalaureate institution, students should plan to take the following:

5 5

Chemical pre-Engineering: CHEM& 161, 162,163 General Chemistry I, II, and III, MATH& 153 Calculus III, MATH 205 Linear Algebra, MATH 238 Differential Equations, MATH& 254 Calculus IV

Bio-medical pre-Engineering:

Humanities

CHEM& 161

A minimum of 90 credits is required. All courses taken must be at college level (numbered 100 or above), with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above. A class can only count once toward requirements. For example, IIS 125 will satisfy either HUMANITIES or SOCIAL SCIENCE course requirements, but not both. A maximum of 5 credits in performance/skills courses may be applied to the humanities distribution requirement.

Associate in General Studies (90 credits)

The Associate in General Studies (AGS) gives students the opportunity to design their own educational programs. This degree was developed as a non-transfer degree so students could have more flexibility in selecting courses to best fit their interests or emphasize particular areas of study not regularly offered by the college.

The fact that the AGS is not designed as a transfer degree does not mean an AGS graduate cannot transfer to a four-year college or university.

However, students should be aware that their transcripts will be subjected to a course-by-course analysis to determine how many courses will be accepted by the four-year institution.

General Education Requirements Must complete a minimum of 10 credits in each of the following areas: communication, humanities, natural science, social science for a minimum total of 40 distribution credits.

>S tudents can drop a class during the first 10 (eight in summer) days of the quarter. When a class is dropped, it will not appear on the student transcript.

The Academic Year The academic year at South Puget Sound Community College is divided into three quarters of approximately 11 weeks each. An 8-week summer session is also offered.

Credit Hours In general, a lecture (theory) class that meets for one hour per week for one quarter will earn the successful student one credit; a lecture class that meets five hours per week for one quarter will earn the student five credits.

Laboratory (guided practice) and certain other courses (such as field-based experience) vary from this pattern. The quarter hours of credit for each course are shown after the course titles in the Course Descriptions section of this catalog beginning on page 73.

>W ithdrawing from a class occurs after the 10th (eighth in summer) day of the quarter. Students who withdraw from a class receive a grade of W. Withdrawal grades do not impact Grade Point Average.

Auditing a Class Students who audit a course must adhere to all course requirements established in the course syllabus. Students who choose to audit a course must do so prior to the 10th day of the quarter with the instructor’s signed permission. Students who audit classes are responsible for full tuition and fees.

Upon completion of the quarter a grade of N is assigned to audited courses. Financial Aid, Running Start, and VA education benefits funding cannot pay for audited courses.

Substituting a Course

Students earn credit only for those courses in which they are officially registered for credit. Credit is not received for courses in which the student enrolls on an audit basis.

Students may petition to substitute a required course in a program of study by requesting a Special Enrollment Form from the One Stop center. The form must be completed and signed by an advisor and the ap­propriate division dean. The form will be reviewed to ensure similarity between requirements and courses substituted.

Attendance

Course Waivers

Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered, including the first class session, and may be dropped for not attending during the first week. Students must officially drop/withdraw from classes.

Instructors may set an attendance requirement for each class. It is the responsibility of the student to know and comply with each individual class requirement.

Student Absence for Faith or Conscience Per RCW 1.16.050, students are entitled to two days of excused absences In accordance with 2019 Senate Bill 5166, South Puget Sound Community College will grant reasonable accommodation so that grades are not impacted for students who are absent or endure significant hardship for reasons of faith or conscience, or for an organized activity conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or religious organization. Such absences/hardships must be requested in writing within the first two weeks of the course and may not incur additional fees for students. This policy will be included in all syllabi and posted on the institutional website.

Absence for Short Term Military Assignments Per RCW 28B.10.270, students called to active duty for a period of 30 days or less may not be penalized for missed class time and must be provided the opportunity to make up work, labs, and exams within a reasonable period of time and without prejudice after they return.

The student may not be dropped for non-attendance and no grade for the student’s work may be issued until the student has been given the opportunity to make up the work and/or participation. Written verification that the person is being, or has been, ordered to service must be provided to the College.

2020-2021 South Puget Sound Community College Catalog

Waivers are used infrequently and only when other alternatives do not apply or are not available. To seek a course waiver, students must request a Special Enrollment Form from the One Stop. The form must be completed and signed by their advisor and the appropriate division dean. The form must be turned into the One Stop for review and application toward graduation.

Arranged Courses An arranged course is an agreement between an instructor and a student for the student to complete a regular SPSCC course as an independent project. Arranged courses must follow the course outline of the agreed upon course, including required assessments and topics.

To be eligible for an arranged course, students must meet all of the published prerequisites. Arranged courses are offered at the discretion of the professor and division dean.

Independent Study Independent studies are supervised projects for which students receive course credit. Independent studies require a detailed plan that explains how workload, contact hours, and student learning outcomes align with the course credit being earned. They also require a specific indication of how student learning outcomes will be assessed.

To be eligible for independent study, students must: > Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and have completed a minimum of 15 credits of college-level work at SPSCC; > Attempt five or fewer credits of independent study during one quarter; > Not exceed a maximum of 15 independent study credits toward a SPSCC degree.

Undergraduate Research Undergraduate research courses are led by one or more faculty, listed in the catalog with titles and numbers, and scheduled to meet at regular days and times as indicated in the college’s course schedule.

In these courses, students are directed in independent and collaborative research projects where they learn how to design, conduct, and report on original research.

To be eligible for an undergraduate research course, students must meet the published prerequisites.

Forms

Students can obtain an Individual Study or Arranged Class form from the Enrollment Services Office. Students should complete the contract portion of the form, and then have the contract signed by the sponsoring instructor and the appropriate division dean.

Credit for Non-Traditional Learning Credit for Non-Traditional Learning (CNTL) is awarded in the following areas: Credit by Testing, Prior Experiential Learning, Extra-Institutional Learning, and Course Challenges. General guidelines for the awarding of CNTL would be as follows.

Credit by Testing – The College accepts credit through Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The College also has a process to award Credit by Examination though a challenge exam. This policy is found earlier in this Academic Regulations section. A maximum of 45 credits will be awarded by credit by examination. > Advanced Placement – Students may receive credit for Advanced Placement scores of “3” or higher. Advanced placement grade reports should be requested from the College Board and sent to the Enrollment Services office. Once received, the student will submit a Transfer of Credit form request for the AP score to be evaluated.

AP coursework completed through the high school class will not be accepted for credit without qualifying test scores. > Cambridge International. SPSCC will grant a minimum elective credit for each Cambridge International (CI) Examination for A-level exam with a passing grade or above for approved examinations. Credit will be awarded on the basis of official CI Examination results, not transcript notation. Duplicate credit for the same subject taken on different exams will not be granted. No grades are posted for A-level exams.

> Course Challenge – Students may receive credit for a course by satisfactorily completing a challenge examination. Students should register for the course and indicate to the instructor the desire to challenge the course. Instructional divisions may reserve the right to deny challenges for specific courses. An exam is administered and graded, with the grade recorded at the end of the quarter. The student cannot participate in the class in an attempt to raise the grade. > College Level Examination Program (CLEP/DANTES) – Examinations are accepted if students score above the ACE recommended score (normally 50). The distribution of credits must be no more than 10 credits in each of the following areas: English, natural sciences, mathematics, humanities and social sciences/history. Students are responsible for forwarding CLEP exam records directly from the College Board to the Enrollment Services Office. Test scores in the General Examination are not equated with specific course descriptions in the college catalog. Students with English scores above the 50 are not exempt from ENGL& 101 or 102 requirements. CLEP English scores and credits can be applied toward communications or humanities credit with the exception of ENGL& 101 and 102.

Acceptable test scores and credits granted can be applied to the General Education List requirements. Students may receive credit in areas in which you have not already earned 10 credits. Students who have earned college course credit prior to taking the General Examination may earn credit in each of the five examination areas to the extent that the total course credits and examination credits do not exceed 10 in any general area.

Prior Experiential Learning – Credit is awarded through assessing knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience that correspond to the student learning outcomes of some existing professional/technical courses at South Puget Sound Community College.

Credit for Alternative Learning Experience (CALE or called ExtraInstitutional Learning by the state) – Awarded through documented third-party training, industry certifications or occupational crosswalks.

The training must be formal and documented. Transfer of military credit is done through the Joint Services Transcript (JST) and based on the recommendation of the American Council on Education (ACE). Students receiving College credit for military service through their JST or based on their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) must still earn credits consistent with the College residency policy in order to be granted a degree or certificate. No more than 25% of credits used for a degree can come from CALE. Students are charged a $25 application fee and $10 per credit for CALE (fee waived for military transcripts).

Advanced Standing – Students may enroll in an advanced course when an evaluation of previous experience and education indicates that credit could be given for lower-level courses in the program. Credit will be given up to a maximum of 45 quarter credit hours only with completion of the higher-level courses with a grade of “C” or better, or with a grade that is agreed upon through a specific agreement with area high schools.

The request for advanced standing can be started by completion of the special enrollment form found in the One Stop. The form must be signed by an advisor and the appropriate division dean to be reviewed for eligibility.

> International Baccalaureate. SPSCC will grant a minimum elective credit for an International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level (HL) exam score of 4 or higher. Credit will be awarded on the basis of official IB results, not transcript notation. See IB Test Score Equivalencies at SPSCC.

Grading Policy

Grade Reports

Instructors are responsible for explaining their grading policies at the beginning of each course. This will be in the form of a course syllabus.

The following is the college definition of each grade:

Students may locate final grades at the end of each quarter online in their mySPSCC portal and unofficial transcript. Official transcripts are withheld if the student has not fulfilled all obligations to the college, financial and otherwise. Official transcripts can be ordered online at spscc.edu/students/transcripts-verifications.

A (4.00) Superior achievement A- (3.67) B+ (3.33) B (3.00) High achievement B- (2.67) C+ (2.33) C (2.00) Satisfactory achievement C- (1.67) D+ (1.33) D (1.00) Minimum achievement F (0.00) Failure to meet minimum course requirement I Incomplete. Student has not completed specific requirements for a class due to extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control assigned at the instructor's discretion. No grade points calculated. (See note #1)

Academic Standards Policy Standards are enforced to ensure satisfactory academic progress.

All students are expected to maintain a quarterly cumulative GPA of 2.0 for credits attempted and a minimum college-level GPA of 2.0 must be maintained for graduation with a degree or certificate.

Academic deficiency is defined as failure to maintain the minimum grade point average requirements, as stated above. After the first quarter in which a student is academically deficient, he or she will be placed on academic warning. After the second consecutive quarter in which a student is academically deficient, the student will be placed on academic probation. After the third consecutive quarter in which a student is academically deficient, the student will be placed on academic dismissal. Dismissed students must sit out for a quarter and go through the readmissions procedure. Running Start students can't count summer quarter as the quarter in which they sit out.

Readmission Procedures

P Progressing. No grade points calculated.

Students who are dismissed from the college for academic deficiency must complete the appeal process. A student must complete an Academic Standards Review form and meet with an educational planner in the Advising Center to discuss course selection and success strategies for future quarters.

S Satisfactory completion at or above the 2.0 level. No grade points calculated. (See note #2)

All appeal steps must be completed prior to the third day of the quarter a student wishes to re-enroll.

U Unsatisfactory completion of the course below a 2.0 level. No grade points calculated. (See note #2)

Grade Renewal

N Audit. No grade points calculated.

V At the instructor’s discretion, this grade may be assigned when a student ceases attendance before sufficient data to evaluate has been submitted. Student must have stopped attending by the 40th day. No grade points calculated at SPSCC; other schools may convert V’s to F’s when determining transfer eligibility or recalculating GPAs. W Student withdrawal; no grade points calculated.

Y Course in progress. For continuous enrollment courses and courses with calendars that extend beyond one quarter. No grade points calculated.

Note #1 Prior to issuing an “I” grade, the professor must complete an “Incomplete Agreement” form indicating what requirements must be completed, the expected completion date and method of evaluation. The form must be signed by the instructor and the student. Failure to complete the requirements in the agreed upon time frame (no longer than the end of the subsequent quarter) will result in a grade of “F” for the class.

Note #2 Some courses will be graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Certain courses are graded in this manner due to the nature or content of the course. Faculty may offer this option in classes that are generally evaluated with letter grades by including the option in their course syllabus.

Grade renewal is a process of eliminating courses from the computation of the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) under the listed conditions.

Grade renewals cannot be done on “V” and/or “W” grades, which are not computed into the overall GPA. Students who receive financial aid may jeopardize their future eligibility to receive funding when requesting grade renewal and should contact Financial Aid before seeking this option.

Petition for Grade Renewal Forms should be submitted to the One Stop at the Olympia Campus (Bldg. 22) or Lacey Campus (Bldg. 1) or emailed to Enrollment Services at enroll@spscc.edu.

Grade Renewal for Repeated Courses: Eliminate credits and grade(s) from computation of GPA for courses that have been repeated at SPSCC. An “R” will appear next to the lower grade and won’t be calculated into the GPA. Grade Renewal for Unrepeated Courses: Eliminate credits and grade(s) from computation of GPA for courses that have not been repeated. All grades will continue to appear on the transcript. An “ * ” (asterisk) will appear next to the course that is no longer calculated into the GPA. All credits taken prior to the requested quarter for grade forgiveness will also be eliminated from GPA and credit computation. In order to qualify for this option: >A period of two years must have elapsed since the grades were earned or the student has changed the program of study; >T he student has attained a quarterly GPA of 2.5 or greater in two consecutive quarters at SPSCC since earning the initial grades; >T he student has not withdrawn from more than five credits per quarter since returning to SPSCC;
