Getting Started

Admissions and Registration College Community Center (3C), 2nd floor One Stop Shop (928) 344-7550 phone (928) 344-7543 fax azwestern.edu/register

Registration—Registering early provides the best opportunity to obtain the classes you want. Fall and Summer semester registration begins in March and Spring registration occurs in November. It is strongly recommended that you visit with an academic advisor prior to registering. Payment is due the day you register for Spring and Summer. Payment deadline for Fall courses is listed in the Registration Guide. Tuition and fee information is available at azwestern.edu/paying-for-college/ tuition-and-fees or in the Registration Guide (print and online). Adding Courses—Courses may be added until the close of the add/drop period for the semester. A student who wishes to add a course may do so online through Self Service or submit a signed Registration Form to the Admissions and Registration Office on the Main Campus or any of our other campus centers. Dropping Courses—Courses may be dropped for a full refund until the close of the add/drop period for each specific course. Please see the College catalog for the detailed drop policy. Only when the student has dropped through Self Service or a completed Registration Form has been received and processed, does the drop become official. Please consult the Catalog for refund criteria. Informing an instructor or simply absenting yourself from class is not considered an official drop of a course and may result in a failing grade (F) being posted to your academic record. Withdrawals—After the designated add/drop period, students may withdraw from one or more classes and receive a grade of “W” on their official academic record. Students wishing to withdraw from one or more courses should consider the impact. Withdrawing from a class may affect financial aid eligibility, eligibility for other grants, academic standing, athletic eligibility or have additional impact. Classes lasting less than an entire semester have a different withdrawal period. Students who withdraw from classes after the end of the official Add/Drop period remain financially responsible for all tuition and fees. Please consult the AWC Catalog for detailed information.

Payment of all College fees are processed either online by students or by cashiers at the AWC Business Services Office on the Yuma Campus or any of the AWC campus centers. Residence hall students are required to pay their account balances in full before they are cleared to move into their room. Please note that according to policy, the College accepts no responsibility for dropping students from classes they do not intend to take. Officially dropping prior to the end of the official drop period is the only way to ensure students will not be charged for classes they do not attend. Students must pay close attention to the drop deadline for each specific class they are registered for as classes of different length or type (face-to-face, online, hybrid) could have different drop deadlines. Students who withdraw from classes after the end of the official add/drop period are still financially responsible for those tuition and fees. Part-time and work-study payroll checks may be picked up from a cashier at the Business Office at the Yuma Campus. The Disbursement Office posts all financial aid and scholarships to each student’s account and distributes any refund due to the student.

AccessABILITY Resource Services (ars) College Community Center (3C), 2nd floor One Stop Shop (928) 344-7674 phone (928) 344-7720 fax azwestern.edu/accessability

The AccessABILITY Resource Services office works in partnership with students with disabilities, faculty and staff to remove barriers in the educational process through design and accommodation. We recognize disability as an aspect of diversity and promote a culture of inclusion for all diverse groups. AccessABILITY Resource Services provides services to students who qualify under the American’s with Disabilities Act, ADA Amendment Act 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. An individual with a disability is an individual with a documented impairment that substantially limits one or more of that individual’s major life activities. Recognized disabilities include, but are not limited to, mobility impairments, deafness, hard of hearing, blindness, visual impairments, learning disabilities, chronic medical conditions, and psychological disorders. Requesting Accommodations and Auxiliary Aids

• Students with disabilities must self-identify with AccessABILITY Resource

Services and provide the required disability documentation. The eligibility determination process is not a same day process. Once • documentation is received, it will be reviewed in order of receipt; therefore, it is recommended that documentation be submitted well in advance of any accommodation related needs (e.g. exam accommodations and alternative media services). • Students must make an appointment with the ARS staff; located on the top floor of the College Community Center (3C). at (928) 344-7674. Students must meet with the staff each semester to develop the accommodation letter. • Students should be prepared to speak to the staff about their disability and the barriers they feel they may encounter in the classroom, as well as, accommodations or design modifications needed to ensure equal access. • The ARS staff will work with the students to determine which design modifications or accommodations are appropriate for each class. • We encourage all students to contact instructors two weeks before the start of classes to discuss accommodations and success strategies for the semester. This not only gives the instructor time to consider the changes that will be needed to ensure access to materials, but also breaks the ice and encourages more effective communication. Services can be requested at any time during the semester; however, requesting services well in advance will help ensure resources are available when needed.

The Office of Assessment and Program Review provides college-wide leadership in assessment, program review, and the collection of the educational data. These information services enhance the college’s culture of evidence and assist administrators and faculty in data-driven decision making at all levels of the college. A key component to ensuring AWC is providing the best education and services possible is to engage our students in the discussion of assessment. The Assessment Office welcomes student participation in monthly institutional Assessment Committee meetings and encourages students to be agents of their own learning. It is important for students to not only understand how faculty and administrators assess student learning but for students to hold the institution accountable for what the students should be learning and the type of environment the learning takes place in.

Welcome from the SGA President Dear Arizona Western College students, It is with great honor that I welcome you to Arizona Western College on behalf of the AWC Student Government Association, and with immense pleasure that I congratulate you on being a step closer into becoming the prepared individual you aspire to be. Your time at AWC will be unique indeed, remain truthful to yourself, full of aspirations, dreams, and perseverance. Don’t be hesitant to ask for help or shy to ask questions if you find something intriguing. Be prepared for personal growth as you develop skills that will prepare you for future endeavors. Join clubs/organizations where you will build long-lasting friendships and enhance character development. Make the most out of your short time here and be sure that there will always be space for someone like you at AWC. My first semester at AWC was challenging mainly because we were at the peak of a world-wide pandemic whose future effects could not be foreseen. The feeling of uncertainty was always present, but I buried the feeling by getting involved in clubs/organizations that were of my interest. I proudly served as a Matador Ambassador; a program designed for ambassadors to remain involved in recruitment, campus, and community events along with working 5 hours at the Welcome Center. Serving as President of the Community Club was a beautiful experience where I was able to plan, and direct fundraisers designed to help those affected economically by the pandemic. Through AWC Jobs for Matadors, I was selected as a work-study with the City of San Luis Human Resources Department where I was later hired as an official city employee when my workstudy program ended. As SGA president this year, I hope to see everyone grow while doing something that they love, while taking advantage of the possibilities AWC has to offer. Never stay comfortable in one place, keep exploring the infinite possibilities while networking for a better future. Each day, you will face unpleasant obstacles that require your positivity and optimism to be surpassed. Use what you learn from your peers to grow and always remember that everyone you meet has something to teach you so make the most out of it. Through my short journey at AWC, I have had the pleasure of working along amazing role models from all walks of life who have encouraged and supported me into becoming who I am today. Live your expedition at AWC with a vibrant smile absorbing all that you can from those around you, but never compare your progress because every single person has a different expedition ahead of them. Seek me if you need a friend or guide but never feel alone because you are not. See you around, and make sure to say hi! Welcome home matadors! Kind regards, Karla Vera 35

Students are an integral part of the colleges sustainability efforts. Sustainability is often defined as: “Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future to meet their own needs.” Interested in being part of the change?

Conserving Energy • Unplug all electrical appliances when not in use. • Remember to close doors and windows when heating or A/C systems are in use. • During the winter, open blinds, and curtains to allow sunlight in for solar heat gain. In the evenings, close blinds, and curtains to reduce thermal heat loss. Lighting • Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs where possible • If you spend time working at a computer, dim the lights in your room so you can easily see your computer screen without turning up the brightness level. • Turn off lights when leaving a room. Energy Conserving Computing • Turn your computer off at night or when you are out of town. • Know this: the best screen saver is no screen saver at all. • Cut down on printing by reading e-mails and documents on the computer screen. • Use power-efficiency settings, in the systems preferences of most computers. • Print double-sided • Review your document on the screen instead of printing a draft. Water Conservation • Use re-usable water bottles instead of plastic. • Eat lower on the food chain. It takes 5,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of meat, while producing one pound of wheat takes 25 gallons. • Shorten your shower by a minute or two per day, and you’ll save up to 150 gallons of water per month. • Turn water off while you brush your teeth, wash your hair and hands, and shave. • Wash clothes in cold water to save energy and to help maintain their color.
