Code of conduct CCV is committed to providing a healthy, safe and respectful teaching and learning environment. All members of CCV are responsible for conducting themselves in a manner that contributes positively to the shared college community. Participating in Class CCV students participate respectfully in class by being open to experiences, values and opinions that are different from their own. In addition, they: q Attend class regularly and arrive on time. q Are prepared for class and ready to learn (bring assignments, books, etc.). q Turn off their cell phones and refrain from texting, surfing the internet, chatting, or other activities that disrupt others and act as a distraction to learning. q Use computers and other resources in an appropriate, responsible, and ethical manner. q Exercise safety and caution with classroom or lab equipment and/or materials. q Present their own work–and not anyone else’s–in activities and assignments. q Follow the guidelines and/or directions given by faculty regarding the way work is to be completed and under what conditions they may consult or assist others. q Give appropriate credit whenever they are using others’ ideas, words, or work of some sort. Interacting with Students, Faculty, and Staff CCV students act with honesty, fairness, and personal integrity in their interactions with others. To do this, they: q Listen and read empathetically, seeking to understand other perspectives, while acknowledging that understanding does not imply agreement. q Ask for clarification and feedback to check their understanding of a situation or assignment. q Focus on the ideas or actions, not the person writing or speaking them, when expressing disagreement or uncertainty. q Resolve conflicts in a respectful manner, and seek assistance from faculty or staff when this becomes difficult.

CODE OF CONDUCT

q Are courteous of others and their needs when using college services or resources, such as the computer lab and Learning Center. q Comply with the directions of faculty and staff, particularly with regard to incidents involving safety or security. Taking Responsibility for their Education CCV students take responsibility for their education by staying informed about the issues or procedures that matter to them and raising questions when they occur. In addition, they: q Are thoughtful in scheduling and preparing for their registration or other related appointments. q Complete college forms accurately, providing truthful information, and accept responsibility for all signed agreements. q Read their course feedback and/or evaluations and provide feedback to others. q Consider the role they play in contributing to or detracting from the College community. q Read, understand, and follow the policies, procedures, and guidelines established by the College. q Respect the buildings, grounds, and physical and virtual property of the College. q Conduct themselves professionally and responsibly, particularly when acting as student representatives in the community or other settings.

planning your 168-hour week Being a CCV student usually involves a great deal of responsibility and very little time to accomplish everything. It’s kind of like juggling. To be successful in college, time management is key, and your first step will be developing a plan for your time. We all begin each week with 168 hours. Estimate the number of hours per week that you will dedicate to each of the activities below and add them together to get a total. Will you be able to fit it all in and maintain a healthy lifestyle? Your Time Commitments

Sleep ( = ___ hours per night x 7) _________ Hours Meals ( = ___ hours per day x 7) + _________ Hours Class(es) (including commute) + _________ Hours Studying and homework (2-3 hours per credit hour recommended) + _________ Hours Work (including commute) + _________ Hours Family and friends + _________ Hours Activities (hobbies, exercise, volunteer work, spiritual practices, etc.) + _________ Hours Extra responsibilities (laundry, shopping, paying bills, cleaning, etc.) + _________ Hours Personal care (showers, grooming, etc.) + _________ Hours Free time + _________ Hours Other: _______________________ + _________ Hours ________________________ Total = _________ Hours

168 – Total ____ = _______ Hours Remaining

If your total is more than 168: You’ll have to cut back. There simply aren’t enough hours available. Reassess the time you’ve set aside above and decide what you can reasonably reduce. If your total is between 165 and 168: You have a very busy schedule! Consider cutting back. This may not be a manageable schedule as you don’t have enough time for the unpredictability of life. Reassess the time you’ve set aside above and decide what you can reasonably reduce. If your total is less than 165: Congratulations! You have designed what should be a manageable plan for your time. Now, map out your typical week and when you will do all of the tasks listed above. 10

Audit CCV allows students who are not interested in receiving academic credit to audit courses. Audit students pay full tuition and fees and must declare their audit status at the time of registration. Audit students receive a grade of AU and do not receive credit or documentation for the course.

TUITION & FEES

REFUNDS The registration fee is not refundable when a student drops a course. A student may be eligible for a refund of tuition and course fees when officially dropping a course using one of these methods: 1.

Complete, sign, and discuss the drop form with your CCV advisor or staff member in your local CCV academic center.

financial Aid Even with CCV’s low tuition costs, paying for your courses may be difficult. Financial aid is there to assist you. CCV is committed to helping its students apply for and receive needed financial aid. Visit the financial aid section on the CCV website at http://ccv.edu/pay/financial-aid/, and see the financial aid counselor at your local CCV office for assistance. Rights & Responsibilities of Financial Aid Recipients An important part of the financial aid process is to know and understand your rights and responsibilities regarding state and federal financial aid. Student Rights A financial aid recipient has the right to: • Know what financial aid is available, how financial aid will be distributed, how decisions on that distribution are made, and the basis for those decisions; • Know how financial need was determined, including how costs for tuition and fees, room and board, travel, books and supplies, personal and miscellaneous expenses are considered in the budget; • Know what resources (such as parent and/or student contribution and other financial aid) were considered in the calculation of need; • Know how much of financial need, as determined by the institution, has been met by the award; • Request an explanation of the various programs in the student aid package; • Know the College’s refund policy; • Know how the school determines whether satisfactory academic progress is being made and what the consequences are if it is not; • Appeal financial aid decisions through the CCV Complaint Resolution Policy. Remember: • The financial aid counselor at each CCV academic center provides assistance to students who wish to apply for financial aid. Complete all required application materials on time and return them to the appropriate source. Early application will result in a smoother financial aid process. • You must attend classes. Successful completion of your courses helps ensure your continued eligibility for aid. • If you already have a college degree or have done college-level work elsewhere, special circumstances may apply to your aid eligibility. Talk to a CCV financial aid counselor about your previous degree. • As federal and state regulations may change, CCV reserves the right to change our policies and procedures without notice in order to comply. FINANCIAL AID

Student Responsibilities • Complete all application forms accurately and submit them in accordance with the directions and in a timely manner; • Attend all classes; • Provide correct information, including social security number; • Promptly return all additional documentation, verification, corrections, and/or new information requested to either the financial aid office or the agency to which you submitted the application; • Read and understand all forms that require a signature and keep copies of such forms; • Accept responsibility for all signed agreements; • Purchase your textbook(s); • Perform the work that is agreed upon in accepting a federal college work study award; • Be familiar with the consequences of dropping a class, not making satisfactory academic progress, and/or not attending regularly; • Notify CCV of any change in address, name, or any other information which may affect CCV’s ability to contact you or maintain records; • Notify CCV of the receipt of any outside scholarships or other financial aid; • Seek resolution of complaints regarding the award of financial aid at CCV through procedures as they are outlined in the Complaint Resolution Policy; • Complete a student loan exit interview if you are a loan recipient and your attendance falls below six credits or you are planning to graduate or leave CCV. This may be done with a CCV financial aid staff person or online at http://mappingyourfuture.org/. Types of Financial Aid Financial aid at CCV includes grants, scholarships, a student employment program, and loans. Specific eligibility requirements apply to the federal aid programs. The College administers or participates in the following financial aid programs: • Federal Pell Grant – Need-based grant for a student without a first bachelor’s degree.The exact award amount varies, depending on the student’s course load and financial need. The maximum award for 2013-2014 was $5,635; check the CCV website for the most current information. • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) – Need-based grant for a student without a first bachelor’s degree. Award amounts vary based on student’s course load and financial need and availability of funds. The maximum award depends on availability of funds. • Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) – Need-based financial aid offered in the form of part-time employment at CCV or at other eligible employers. Students interested in work-study employment should check with local CCV academic center staff. 20

FINANCIAL AID

• Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan – Need-based, low-interest student loan available to students with financial need who are attending at least half-time (6 credits) per semester. Interest is paid by the federal government while you are in school. • Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan – Low-interest student loan designed to assist students enrolled at least half-time who are not eligible, or are only partially eligible, for the subsidized Stafford Loan. Interest does accrue while enrolled in school. • Federal PLUS (Parent) Loan – Low-interest loan available to parents of dependent students who are enrolled at least half-time. • Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) Grant Program – Need-based grant program available to Vermont residents attending as full-time, part-time or nondegree students. • Scholarship Programs – CCV offers or participates in several scholarship programs. Contact your financial aid advisor for more details. Applying for Financial Aid Who Should Apply? Anyone who thinks s/he may be eligible and who requires financial aid to attend CCV should apply. To be eligible for federal financial aid and most VSAC grants, you must be enrolled in a CCV degree program. Who Is Eligible? To be eligible to receive federal and state financial aid, you must: • Be a United States citizen, national, or permanent resident, or in another specified status; • Have a high school diploma or G.E.D., or have completed a home school course of study; • Not be in default on a federal student loan or owe a refund on federal grants; • Have accurately completed the appropriate financial aid applications in a timely manner; • Maintain satisfactory academic progress once enrolled at CCV; • Be registered for at least 3 credits in a given semester; • Have financial need as determined by criteria established by the College; • Attend classes regularly; • Enroll in no more than 24 credits of remedial course work. You are not eligible for federal financial aid for more than 24 credits of remedial or developmental skills course work. Courses in ELL (English Language Learning) are not included in this limitation. In addition, developmental skills course work must be complete before pursuing a regular post-secondary program. How to Apply To learn how to apply for financial aid, visit http://ccv.edu/pay/financial-aid/ WWW.CCV.EDU

How Awards Are Calculated & Determined You and/or your family are expected to contribute to your education from your own earnings and assets according to your and your family’s means. This takes into account income, assets, household size, and other relevant information. Financial aid is made available after a determination that your or your family’s resources are insufficient to meet your educational expenses. Federal, state, and College guidelines and regulations of the various financial aid programs are also considered, as well as current funding levels. Selection of financial aid recipients is made in accordance with CCV’s Nondiscrimination Policy. In most cases, the amount of financial aid offered will not exceed the amount needed to meet the difference between your total educational expenses and your (or your family’s) resources. In cases where funds are limited, priority is given to students who complete all relevant paperwork in a timely manner. The College determines cost of attendance for its students. The cost reflects a reasonable allowance for room and board, books, supplies, travel, personal expenses, and any applicable loan fee. (Purchase of a car or a computer are not calculated in the cost of attendance.) Loan fees are estimated on CCV’s average annual student loan volume from the prior academic year. You are responsible for obtaining textbooks before the first class meeting. If your financial aid is adequate, up to $500 of textbook costs may be charged against it. See your financial aid counselor to complete CCV Financial Aid Advance to Purchase Textbooks (FAAPT) form. As far as travel expenses are concerned, we realize that there may be great disparity between the amounts of travel required for students to attend classes that are held in locations all over the state. In order to treat all students equally, an average travel allowance is computed each academic year and is applied uniformly to all student budgets. If you have attended another college within the last 12 months, CCV will access the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to determine your past federal financial aid. The result could affect the amount of aid for which you are eligible for the balance of the financial aid year. Your enrollment status also influences the amount of financial aid you can be awarded. Enrollment per semester, for financial aid purposes, is as follows:

3 - 5 credits.................................less than half-time 6 - 8 credits................................................half-time 9 - 11 credits...............................three-quarter time 12 or more credits ......................................full-time

22 FINANCIAL AID

How You Are Notified of Your Eligibility We will officially inform you of your eligibility for financial aid by sending you an award letter. You can also view your awards online through Web Services, accessed through the student portal. If you wish to decline or modify the Direct Loan amount you have been awarded, you must notify us in writing. If you haven’t received an award letter by the fifth week of classes, contact your financial aid counselor. If you have applied and been approved for a Federal Direct Loan, you will receive a loan disclosure notice from the federal Department of Education. We will notify you within 30 days of the date your loan funds are placed on your student account. Your financial aid eligibility may change within a semester based on changes in your enrollment status, receipt of other financial aid, or other circumstances. We will send you a revised award notification if your eligibility changes for these or other reasons. How Financial Aid Is Paid to Your Account At the end of the College’s add/drop period, we verify your attendance in all your courses before we disburse grant or loan funds to your account. You must attend classes to receive your financial aid. Once your attendance for a semester is verified, your Pell, SEOG, student loans, VSAC grant and other grant aid are credited to your account. All financial aid is applied to your bill to cover the cost of tuition and fees. Any financial aid in excess is considered a cash disbursement (refund) to help you defray the costs of books, supplies, travel, and other expenses. These funds will be sent to you within 14 business days of the credit balance. If you are eligible for a cash disbursement from SEOG, PELL, VSAC grant, or other grant/scholarship aid, and part of your charges are paid by a third party (a relative, your employer, or an agency such as PSE or the Textbook Assistance Fund), we will reimburse the third party’s portion first. Adjustment of Aid Based on Student Drop or Withdrawal Your financial aid is initially awarded based on your intended or actual enrollment status at the start of a given semester. If courses are added or dropped within the add/drop period, your financial aid will be adjusted to reflect your eligibility, based on your enrollment status at the end of the add/drop period. If you withdraw from all courses in a given semester, CCV is required to determine if any federal financial aid has to be returned to the federal financial aid programs, whether or not any financial aid funds have already been given to you as a cash disbursement (refund). Where required, CCV must repay the federal financial aid programs in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford loans; Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford loans; Federal Direct PLUS loans; Federal Pell grants; Federal SEOG Program aid; other assistance.

WWW.CCV.EDU

A financial aid student dropping his/her full academic program (all semester courses) will result in that student having a remaining bill ranging from the $65 registration fee to possibly the entire bill for tuition and fees. If loans are involved, the student could be liable for repaying a percentage of that total amount as well. If you have applied and been approved for a Federal Loan, you will receive a loan disclosure notice from the federal Department of Education. We will notify you within 30 days of the date your loan funds are placed on your student account. Your financial aid eligibility may change within a semester based on changes in your enrollment status, receipt of other financial aid, or other circumstances. We will send you a revised award notification if your eligibility changes for these or other reasons. NOTE: For optimal use of Federal Title IV financial aid, the student must attend classes and complete courses. If circumstances arise that impede attendance, s/he should seek advice regarding the financial impact of terminating enrollment in the CCV academic program. Maintaining Your Financial Aid Eligibility Attendance You must attend classes regularly in order to get your financial aid award. To stop attending has serious consequences for your financial aid eligibility. CCV may have to return funds to the funding agency. The College, in turn, will bill you. If you think you have to drop courses or leave the College, discuss your decision with your academic advisor and financial aid counselor before you stop attending classes. Satisfactory Academic Progress Financial aid awards are conditional on your making satisfactory academic progress in your course of study according to CCVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academic Progress and Financial Aid policies. (Review the complete Satisfactory Academic Progress policy at http://ccv.edu/policy or request a written copy from your financial aid advisor.) First of all, you must meet and maintain good academic standing as defined by CCV. In addition, federal regulations say that you may not receive Title IV financial aid if you are not progressing at a rate which will allow you to complete your degree program within 150% of the credits required. This rate is derived by taking your total attempted credits and dividing by your total earned college-level credits. Attempted credits are credits for which you registered and attended at least one class meeting. Financial aid is available for a limit of 90 attempted credits for an associate degree. NOTE: If you already have a college degree, special circumstances may apply to your aid eligibility. Please talk to a CCV financial aid counselor about your previous degree.

24 FINANCIALâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;AID

Basic Skills Limit You are not eligible for federal financial aid for more than 24 credits of remedial or developmental course work. Courses in English Language Learning (ELL) are not included. In addition, any developmental skills course work you take must be considered necessary for you to pursue a regular post-secondary program. Repeated Coursework If you repeat a course because you failed it in a previous term or because you wish to improve your grade, then the credits for that course are included in the total number of credits that you are taking when determining enrollment status for Pell awards. After successfully completing the repeated coursework, you cannot receive financial aid for a course if you wish to further improve the grade by repeating it a third time. Remember that repeated courses add to the total number of credits attempted and the number of credits of aid for which you are eligible. See Academic Standing Policy at www.ccv.edu/policy. Financial Aid Appeals Federal regulations require that a college permits appeals made by individual students to reinstate their eligibility in extraordinary circumstances. CCV has an appeal process that takes into consideration a student’s patterns of completion throughout their enrollment at CCV, extraordinary circumstances, and a very specific plan for completing a degree program. A student who wishes to appeal a financial aid eligibility decision must submit an appeal to a financial aid appeals board, consisting of the academic dean, the dean of students, and the director of financial aid (or their designees). In preparing and submitting an appeal, the student must include four pieces: 1. A letter detailing circumstances that resulted in financial aid ineligibility related to Satisfactory Academic Progress and how those circumstances have changed; 2. An approved CCV Degree Plan; 3. Documentation of successful completion of the Basic Skills Assessment; 4. A specific semester-by-semester schedule of courses for completing the degree. This schedule assumes that all credits attempted will be completed with a grade of C– or better (no dropped/withdrawn courses, no incomplete courses, and no D, F, or NP grades). The plan must be submitted with advisor approval. Appeals must be received by the following schedule: • July 1 for financial aid eligibility for the following fall semester; • December 1 for financial aid eligibility for the following spring semester; • April 1 for financial aid eligibility for the following summer semester. CCV’s financial aid appeals board will have the authority to extend financial aid eligibility for an approved completion plan on a semester-by-semester basis. WWW.CCV.EDU

Complaint Resolution If you wish to file a complaint relating to financial aid or the application of the Academic Standing Policy at CCV, you may do so by following the procedures outlined in CCV’s Complaint Resolution Policy.
