Mission Statement West Kentucky College Academy is designed to benefit students by providing a seamless pathway to postsecondary education while reducing student expense and time to credential attainment, with the ultimate purpose being the completion of a postsecondary credential. About Us West Kentucky Community and Technical College has helped Western Kentucky high school students earn college credits for over 24 years. Earning college credit has evolved into helping students obtain college and career readiness benchmarks, enhanced by encouraging students to challenge themselves to make the last two years of high school a precursor to college. Over time, the program has grown into a partnership with 17 high schools, six area technology and career technical centers, and multiple home schools. With the increasing opportunities, challenges, and future goals, West Kentucky College Academy was developed. The College Academy currently offers 198 concurrent enrollment courses. These are courses taught at an area high school, ATC, or CTC by their faculty who are credentialed and qualified to teach college-level courses. WKCTC waives the tuition for each of the courses, charging only a mandated service charge per semester. High school students enrolled in the West Kentucky College Academy also have the option of enrolling in online and on-campus courses at a discounted tuition rate. West Kentucky College Academy current enrollment exceeds 1,200 high school students who have earned 6,500 college credit hours during the 2012 fall semester. West Kentucky College Academy is actively working to promote the importance of earning a postsecondary credential and helping to educate a strong, vital workforce. Encouraging high school students to begin their post-secondary education early increases the likelihood of the students to transition to a postsecondary institution. Participating in the College Academy increases students potential of earning a credential. West Kentucky College Academy is working to break through the barriers of accessibility, affordability, and college readiness by providing resources and building strong partnerships.

Glossary of Terms Following are a list of terms used throughout this document. Understanding this terminology will assist partners in presenting information to stakeholders. 1. Career Pathways - Systemic frameworks for transforming Kentucky educational institutions by proactively addressing the needs of students and employers across the learning continuum. A program of studies for each career pathway is a coherent, articulated sequence of rigorous academic and career/technical courses including dual credit opportunities, leading to postsecondary degrees and/or industry recognized certifications and/or licensures. Career Pathways are developed, implemented and maintained in partnership among secondary and postsecondary institutions, business and employers. They are available to all students, including adult learners and are designed to lead to rewarding careers (KDE). 2. College and Career Ready- Initiative mandated by Senate Bill 1 (2009) for the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE), and Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to develop a unified strategy to reduce college remediation rates of recent high school graduates by at least fifty percent by 2014 from the rates in 2010, and to increase the college completion rates of students enrolled in one or more remedial class by three percent annually from 2009 to 2014. (Unbridled Learning Accountability Model, 2/9/2012) 3. Concurrent Enrollment – Courses or programs offered at a secondary education campus that allows students to earn both high school and college credit by completing one course (see Dual Credit above). 4. Dual Credit - A college-level course of study offered to high school students. KCTCS considers dual credit as concurrent enrollment whereby a high school student may earn both high school and college credit for the same course upon completion of course requirements. A high school student must apply to a KCTCS college and be accepted, and the KCTCS college is responsible for the academic integrity of the course(s) for which postsecondary credit will be awarded. 5. Dual Credit Delivery Methods - Dual credit courses may be delivered at the college site, the local high school, another site (i.e. area technology center, local technology center) not on the high school or college campus, in a virtual environment, or in a delivery method that utilizes a combination of these delivery methods. 6. Dual Enrollment - Students enrolled in postsecondary credit courses on the college campus while simultaneously enrolled in a secondary institution. 7. ILP (Individual Learning Plan) - A web-enabled technology application that became available to schools and students in the fall of 2006, allows students in grades 6–12 to participate in their individual learning planning. The ILP incorporates assessments results, education plans, outcomes, student needs, academic and career interests, supports for successful transition and readiness for postsecondary learning opportunities and work. Students, parents, teachers and administrators can access the plans from any computer with internet access increasing the use and accessibility (KDE). 8. NACEP (National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships) - A professional organization for high schools and colleges that fosters and supports rigorous concurrent enrollment courses throughout the country. NACEP serves as a national accrediting body and supports all members by providing standards of excellence, research, communication, and advocacy. NACEP standards were utilized in the creation of the Dual Credit Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and these standards will serve as a guide for KCTCS colleges’ Dual Credit programs.

Faculty Partners The College Academy has created a partnership program with WKCTC faculty who are committed to working with concurrent enrollment instructors to monitor quality, consistency, and curricular alignment of concurrent enrollment courses. Faculty Partners work to improve overall communication and encourage dialogue between WKCTC faculty and concurrent enrollment instructors to benefit teaching and learning. Faculty Partners Responsibilities • Conduct Site Visits. At the completion of a Site Visit, the Faculty Liaison will complete a “WKCTC Faculty Observation Form” (Appendix A) for the sole purpose of maintaining the alignment of College Academy Concurrent Enrollment courses with courses taught at WKCTC. This report is NOT intended as an instructor evaluation and is NOT shared with school districts or administrators. • Provide final exams given in concurrent enrollment courses, where applicable. • Hold individual meetings as needed with concurrent enrollment instructors. • Conduct professional development sessions new high school concurrent enrollment instructors. • Conduct continuous professional development sessions including content/methods information for current high school concurrent enrollment instructors. To find your Faculty Partner, please contact College Academy Director, Lorry Beth Wilson at 270-5343117, or lorrybeth.wilson@kctcs.edu Concurrent Enrollment Faculty Expectations • Concurrent enrollment classes are college level courses and faculty accept the responsibility for maintaining academic integrity and high expectations. • Faculty agrees to keep their course materials and outline in alignment with course syllabus of the matching WKCTC course. (Appendix B) • Faculty agrees to follow the WKCTC grading scale for concurrent enrollment courses and to submit grades through PeopleSoft database. (Appendix C) • Course syllabus must be submitted to and approved by Division Dean prior to first day of course. • Current course syllabus must be given to each student by the end of the first week of classes and have students sign the Acknowledgement of Receipt of Syllabus. (Appendix D) • Faculty understands that a WKCTC Faculty Partner will conduct one site visit and classroom observation per year. Since concurrent enrollment students receive college credit from WKCTC, the purpose of these observations is to facilitate alignment of course curricula, learning objectives, and assessment methods. It is also beneficial to our mutual educational goals for this continued communication between the CEP faculty and WKCTC faculty. The WKCTC faculty will setup a pre- and post-observation meeting to better understand and share information gathered during the site visit. The site visit documentation is copied and given to the CEP faculty, the Division Dean and the West Kentucky College Academy Director. • Faculty agrees to participate in a minimum of one annual discipline specific professional development workshop per year. WKCTC offers professional development opportunities, as well at the Kentucky Association of Career and Technical Education, Kentucky Department of Education and as well as other educational entities. (Professional development activities will be documented and approved through West Kentucky College Academy.) If the College identifies a pattern of absence over a two year period, the College Academy Director will meet with the concurrent enrollment instructor to discuss continued participation in the program. • Newly approved concurrent enrollment instructors will participate in concurrent enrollment professional development that will include orientation to the College Academy, WKCTC programs, database, grading system, and blackboard at WKCTC prior to teaching a College Academy courses at their school. • All WKCTC students complete the Student Evaluation of Instruction each semester. Concurrent enrollment students are WKCTC students and will complete the evaluations on their concurrent enrollment instructors to fulfill this requirement of the college. (Appendix E) • The College Academy relies on help and assistance from school guidance counselors and concurrent enrollment faculty to place students in the appropriate College Academy courses. Schools should must confirm benchmark scores, assess student skill level, knowledge base, and preparation for the level of work required in a particular concurrent enrollment class.

• Students who fail the first course in a sequence (e.g. ENG 101) are not permitted to register for the subsequent course (e.g. ENG 102) in that sequence. School counselors, concurrent enrollment faculty, and the WKCTC database help to confirm this for each student. PeopleSoft database also provides additional backup that does not allow any student to be enrolled in a subsequent course without completion of the proper prerequisite course and earning a grade of a C or higher. Applying to Teach a Concurrent Enrollment Course Potential College Academy faculty must complete the Secondary Course Approval Form (Appendix F) to ensure the successful addition of concurrent enrollment courses at your campus. For course to be approved, the following items must be on file at WKCTC campus: • Official college transcript (Masters in discipline or minimum of 18 hours in discipline for faculty teaching associate degree courses designed for transfer to baccalaureate degree. Bachelor’s degree in the teaching discipline for faculty teaching associate degree courses not designed for transfer to baccalaureate degree.) • Current resume/vitae • Official documentation of relevant work experience (teaching certificate or industry certificate) • Additional documentation sufficient for SACS-COC compliance • Three letters of recommendation Submit course syllabus and request form the semester prior to offering the course. Documents will be reviewed and discuss possible stumbling blocks prior to taking request to Division Dean. It may be necessary for faculty to resubmit syllabus after this discussion or provide credential documentation. Faculty Credentials West Kentucky Community & Technical College (WKCTC) employs competent faculty members qualified to accomplish the mission and goals of the institution. When determining acceptable qualifications of faculty, WKCTC gives primary consideration to the highest earned degree in the discipline in accordance with College guidelines. The College also considers competence, effectiveness, and capacity, including, as appropriate, undergraduate and graduate degrees, diplomas and certificates in the teaching area, related work experiences in the field, professional licensure and certifications, honors and awards, continuous documented excellence in teaching or other demonstrated competencies and achievements that contribute to effective teaching and student learning outcomes. The qualifications for teaching fulltime, adjunct, or concurrent enrollment faculty at West Kentucky Community & Technical College are the same. The faculty credentials listed below are intended as guidelines. There are some areas in which the guidelines may not be clearly defined and it is in these areas where definitive criteria are lacking that common sense must be carefully and judicially applied. The appropriate Division Dean approves the files of potential instructors and submits them to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. The Vice President of Academic Affairs is charged with the responsibility to see that WKCTC faculty meet credentialing guidelines. Transfer General Education Courses Faculty teaching general education courses designed for transfer: doctors or master’s degree in the teaching discipline or a master’s degree with a concentration in the teaching disciplines (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline). For example, a person may qualify to teach history if the person possesses a master’s degree in public administration and has also completed additional graduate hours to total a minimum of 18 in history. Non-transfer General Education Courses Faculty teaching general education courses that apply only to diploma and associate in applied science degrees (AAS): masters or bachelor’s degree in the teaching discipline or a related discipline. For example, a person may qualify to teach an applied or business math course that does not transfer as a math requirement with a bachelor’s degree in math or a related area such as engineering. Faculty possessing a master’s in business administration or accounting may qualify to teach business math. West Kentucky College Academy

Transfer Non-general Education Courses Faculty teaching courses designed for transfer to a baccalaureate degree: doctors or master’s degree in the teaching discipline or a master’s degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline). For example, a person may qualify to teach education courses if the person possesses a master’s degree in nursing but after completing the masters, the individual completes additional graduate hours to total a minimum of 18 in education. Non-transfer Occupational/Technical Program Courses Faculty teaching certificate, diploma, and associate degree courses not designed for transfer to the baccalaureate degree: bachelors or associate degree in the teaching discipline or a related discipline. In lieu of the associate degree, documented work and teaching experience in the discipline, diplomas or certificates in the teaching discipline, licensures and/or certifications, honors and awards, and continued professional development are considered. The Certificate for Teachers and Other Professional School Personnel issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board may also be considered in the employment of faculty teaching occupational-based career and technical education courses. Complete information on the requirements for this certification may be found at: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/kar/016/002/020.htm. For example, a person may qualify to teach welding with a welding diploma, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Certificate for Teachers, and welding certifications. A person may qualify to teach basic computer fundamentals with a bachelor’s degree in business education, as this degree requires graduates to complete coursework and be competent in basic computer theory and applications.

GEN 100 – Introduction to College………………...1

Grading System The grading system uses a series of letters, to which are assigned grade-point values. The system is based neither on an absolute numerical system nor on a distribution curve, but on the following descriptions: A: represents exceptionally high achievement. It is valued at four grade points for each credit hour in nonremedial and non-developmental courses. B: represents high achievement. It is valued at three grade points for each credit hour in non-remedial and non-developmental courses. C: represents satisfactory achievement. It is valued at two grade points for each credit hour in nonremedial and non-developmental courses. D: represents the minimum achievement for credit. It is valued at one grade point for each credit hour in non-remedial and non-developmental courses. E: represents unsatisfactory achievement and indicates failure in the course. It is valued at zero credit hours and zero grade points in non-remedial and non-developmental courses. Credit may be obtained by repeating the entire course. F: represents unsatisfactory achievement in a course taken on a Pass-Fail basis. It has no value in computing the grade point average. Credit may only be obtained by repeating the entire course. This grade may be used for developmental courses. AU (Audit): has no value in computing grade-point average. A student who has been admitted to the college may elect to enroll in a course(s) as an auditor, except in selective admissions programs. Auditing courses in a selective admissions program requires admission to the program and availability of space in the courses. With few exceptions, any change from audit to credit by a student fully admitted to a college must be accomplished by the last date to enter a class and any change from credit to audit must be made by mid-term of the semester or session in which the student is enrolled. An audited class may be taken for credit at a later date. Anyone who desires to audit a class must be admitted to the college and officially registered for the course. I: means that part of the work of the course remains unfinished. It shall be given only when there is a reasonable possibility that a passing grade will result from completion of the work. The instructor and student will discuss the requirements for completion of course with the time limit for completion not to exceed a maximum of one year; failure to do so will result in an automatic change of grade from I to E. Each college shall maintain a record of incomplete grades recorded in courses of that college. This record, completed by the instructor at the time the I grade is reported, shall include: (1) the name and number of the student, (2) the course number and hours of credit, (3) semester or session and year of enrollment, (4) signature of the instructor, (5) a brief statement of the reason(s) for recording the incomplete grade, and (6) an adequate guide for removal of the incomplete grade. In the instructor’s absence, the division chairperson (or designee), shall forward to the college president (or designee) the appropriate letter grade to replace the incomplete grade. W: represents a withdrawal from class without completing course requirements. A student may officially withdraw from any class up to and including the date of mid-term with a W grade. After the date of midterm and through the last class of the semester or session, any student may officially request to withdraw from a course and receive a W which may be given at the discretion of the instructor. Each instructor shall state on the first or second class meeting the factors to be used in determining if a student will be allowed to withdraw during the discretionary period. An instructor shall not assign a student a W for a class unless the student has officially withdrawn from that class in a manner prescribed by the college. The grade of W may be assigned by the College Appeals Board in cases involving a violation of student academic rights or for academic offenses.

P: represents a satisfactory grade in a course taken on a Pass-Fail basis. The student who receives a P in a course shall be eligible to continue into the next sequential course(s). The grade of P may be assigned by the College Appeals Board in cases involving a violation of student academic rights. It has no value in computing the grade point average. This grade may be used for developmental courses. MP: represents Making Progress and may be assigned only for developmental courses and means that the student has made significant progress but needs and deserves more time to achieve a passing grade. The student should re-enroll in the course in order to continue advancement to the level of competence set for the course. Grades may be earned following re-enrollment for developmental courses. The grade of MP has no value in computing grade point average. Pass/Fail: may be selected for a maximum of two elective courses, subject to certain restrictions, by students with at least 30 credit hours and not on academic probation. Courses with these grades can count toward graduation but are not used in calculating grade-point standing. Courses taken on a pass-fail basis shall be limited to those considered as elective in the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, and such other courses or types of courses as might be specifically approved. Prerequisites for such courses may be ignored at the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own hazard. The student is expected to participate fully in the course and take all examinations as though the student were enrolled on a regular basis. Students may not change from a pass-fail basis nor from a regular basis to a pass-fail basis after the last date for entering an organized class. Courses offered only on a pass-fail basis, remedial or developmental, or taken by special examination, shall not be included in the maximum number of elective courses which a student may take under these provisions Changing Grades: A grade once reported shall not be changed except when the instructor states in writing that an error has been made. The grade change must be submitted by the end of the following semester or session or, in exceptional cases, at the discretion of the president (or designee). However, each respective College Appeals Board may change a grade to P or W in the case of a violation of student academic rights or to a W in the case of an academic offense. Grade-Point Average (GPA): The GPA on the KCTCS transcript is derived from all courses taken at KCTCS institutions. The grade-point average is the ratio of the total grade points earned to the total credit hours attempted excluding courses taken on a pass/fail basis and courses with grades of W or I. Total grade points are derived by multiplying the number of credit hours for the course by the number of grade points assigned to the grade earned: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D =1, E = 0. Reporting Final Grades: The final grades for a course shall be filed with the office of the college president (or designee) by such date as determined by the academic calendar.

FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, is a federal law that protects the privacy and confidentiality of personally identifiable information contained within student education records. Colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System comply with FERPA’s confidentiality protections and adhere to procedures dealing with student education records and directory information recommended by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. In its discretion, a college or KCTCS as appropriate may provide Directory Information in accordance with the provisions of FERPA to include: • student name • address • email address • telephone number • date and place of birth • major field of study • dates of attendance • degrees and awards received • the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student • participation in officially recognized activities and sports. West Kentucky College Academy students should complete the Student Authorization/FERPA form. (Appendix G) Privacy and Release of Student Records Students may withhold Directory Information by notifying designated officials at the college in writing within ten (10) calendar days from the first scheduled day of class of the fall term. All written requests for non-disclosure will be honored by the college for one (1) academic year. Requests to withhold Directory Information must be filed annually thereafter. A request for “non-disclosure” is commonly called a “privacy request”. Student Records Maintenance This is to serve notice to all students of the KCTCS of the rights and restrictions regarding the maintenance, inspection, and release of student records contained in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). The colleges of KCTCS offer a wide variety of services to students. Each college requires the maintenance of records concerning students enrolled in that particular college. The following is a list of the types of records that may be maintained by the College and/or the System Office for students: • Academic records from schools previously attended • Scores or results on various standardized tests and interest/attitude inventories • Degrees awarded • Current academic work completed • Grades and other faculty evaluations • Applications for admissions • Applications and other data related to financial aid • Applications for employment • Class rosters • Letters of recommendation • Academic advisor notes West Kentucky College Academy

West Kentucky Community and Technical College

• Attendance data • Biographical and identifying information (including name, social security number, sex, marital status, date of birth, residency and citizenship status, ethnic background, academic major, and military status) • Medical data • Current student status • Accounts relating to charges • Academic offenses • Disciplinary offenses • Counseling notes The colleges are responsible for the maintenance of records in all categories. In general, the records maintained by the college are available only to the student, to college personnel with legitimate educational interests, a person or company with whom the College has contracted as its agent to provide a service, to other institutions where the student is seeking financial aid, and to authorized representatives of the Comptroller General of the U.S., the Secretary of the U. S. Department of Education, or an administrative head of an education agency, in connection with an audit or evaluation of federally supported programs, and as provided by Section 164.283 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes. However, information may be released by the institution to appropriate persons in connection with an emergency if the knowledge of such information is necessary to protect the health or safety of a student or other persons. Records may be disclosed without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Records may also be furnished in compliance with a judicial order or pursuant to a subpoena or with the consent of the student. Students may inspect and review all records pertaining to them within forty-five (45) days of making requests for the same, except for 1) records created or maintained by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized professional or paraprofessional acting or assisting in a professional capacity in connection with the treatment of the student (except that the student may have these records reviewed by a physician or appropriate professional designated by the student), 2) financial records of the parents, 3) confidential letters and recommendations put in the files prior to January 1, 1975, and 4) confidential recommendations relating to admission, application for employment, or honors, if the student waived his or her right to review such records. Where a particular record cannot be reviewed by a student without revealing confidential information relating to other students, the records custodian will inform the student, upon request, of the contents of the record pertaining to that student. Appeal A student who believes that any record maintained by the college, the college district, or the KCTCS pertaining directly to that student is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise violates the right of privacy of the student as provided by Title IV of Pub.L.90-247, as amended, and Pub.L.93-380 as amended by Senate Joint Resolution 40 (1974), may request a hearing before a panel of three persons appointed by the President of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. The panel may direct that appropriate action be taken to correct, explain, or expunge the record(s) challenged. Requests for hearings should be sent to the Records Custodian, Kentucky Community and Technical College System, 300 N Main St, Versailles, KY, 40383 and will be addressed in a timely manner.

Transfer Courses Your first step is to contact the school in which you plan to transfer for specific requirements and procedures for admission. Most schools have offices specifically designated to work with incoming transfer students. Requirements most often consist of the following: • Admission application for that school; • Transcripts from all colleges attended (Students must request official transcripts from each school individually to be sent to the 4-year institution. Request an official transcript from WKCTC; • ACT scores if transferring with less than 24 credit hours (excluding transitional coursework) or entering a program of study with minimum ACT requirements; • High school transcripts if transferring with less than 24 credit hours; • Any other materials required for selective admission programs Schools have different deadlines for application, scholarships, financial aid, and registration. It is a good idea to contact schools two semesters before you plan to transfer to ensure that you meet priority deadlines and are eligible for advanced registration. After you have applied, you can expect to receive notification of acceptance which will give you information about your next step. You may have to attend an orientation day on which you will learn about the campus, meet with an advisor in your major who will help you plan your schedule, and learn the registration procedures and online student system for your new school. You should also receive a copy of your transcript evaluation (credit that school will award you based on your work here at WKCTC or any other colleges), often called a degree audit, to aid in choosing the classes to meet your program requirements. Transfer Scholarships Several regional baccalaureate institutions offer scholarships specifically for transfer students. This means that only transfer students will meet the criteria and be competing for them. To see if your school of choice offers a transfer scholarship search KnowHow2Transfer.org or contact the school's transfer or scholarship office. Transcript Request After you earn college credit from WKCTC and plan to attend another college or university, you will need to request a transcript to be sent to the college of your choice. The credits that you receive while you are in high school are recorded on a WKCTC transcript along with the grade earned. To request a transcript click on http://www.westkentucky.kctcs.edu/Admissions/Records/Transcript_Requests.aspx and complete the application. Withdrawal Procedure Instructions for Students to withdraw from a course. (Appendix H) 1. Complete withdrawal form, found at http://www.westkentucky.kctcs.edu/Academics/K12/What/StudentsParents.aspx and click on Withdrawal Form. 2. Complete all required information and obtain all appropriate signatures on this form. 3. Student is encouraged to speak with the instructor before withdrawing from a course. 4. If a student is withdrawing from one or more courses all signatures must be obtained. 5. Return form to Director of K-12 Partnerships (WKCTC, Lorry Beth Wilson, 4810 Alben Barkley Drive, Paducah, KY 42001). 6.

West Kentucky Community and Technical College

Information for Students and Faculty Check the appropriate dates in the college calendar for withdrawal deadlines. A withdrawal form must be completed and submitted before or on the withdrawal deadline published by the college http://westkentucky.kctcs.edu/Academics/Calendars.aspx . Courses with alternate starting dates may have different withdrawal dates published in the course syllabus or at the Admissions/Registrar Office. Students need to understand the potential impact that withdrawing from courses may have on the computation of their grade point average when they transfer to other institutions or limited access programs. Students need to consider the impact withdrawing will have on their specific financial aid award. Some types of financial aid may require a student to pay money back to the college and/or federal government once the withdrawal has been processed. Instructors who withdraw a student from their class need to do so on or before the withdrawal deadline that is published by the college. NOTE: West Kentucky College Academy students MUST complete the West Kentucky College Academy Withdrawal Form to withdraw from a course, and be sure to obtain all required signatures. WKCTC Procedures for Non-Compliance by CEP Faculty At any time, if there is reason to believe that the Instructor or Partnering High School is not complying with the course expectations as detailed in this Handbook or other communicated expectation by the CEP or authorized WKCTC representatives, the following steps shall be followed to resolve the non-compliance issue: 1.
