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).

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 1,300 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 Borrow are available to qualifying students. Students are highly successful in the Running Start program.

They can also be involved 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 be recognized by their high school or district with junior or senior class standing and place into or have Completed English 101. This can be done in several ways, like taking the English Guided Self Placement. 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/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. Freshman, 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 Running Start student during junior and senior year or 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.

Associate in Music - Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA/MRP) (105 credits) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Associate in Music is designed for persons interested in transferring to a four-year college or university music program. Students who successfully complete degree requirements and elective courses recommended for music will be able to transfer to most four-year degree programs with junior standing. Important: Completion of the Associate in Music does not guarantee admission into a four-year degree program, only that the credits will transfer if and when one is admitted into the music program at a participating institution. It is imperative that students make early contact with their potential transfer institutions about specific requirements for overall GPA, possible higher GPA requirements in a selected subset of courses, audition requirements, theory/ear training diagnostic exams, and piano proficiency exams.

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 fouryear colleges and universities as outlined in the Intercollegiate Relations Commission Handbook. South Puget Sound Community College prepares recipients of the Associate in Music degree to:  Communicate effectively  Think logically and critically  Evaluate and process quantitative and symbolic data  Understand themselves in relation to others in a multicultural world  Understand ethical responsibilities and consequences PROGRAM REQUIREMENT: In planning this degree students need to work closely with their advisor or a counselor as although the Associate in Music degree transfers to four-year colleges and universities in Washington State, it may not meet specific department requirements.

To earn an Associate in Music degree all courses taken must be:  At college level (numbered 100 or above).  A minimum of 63 of the 105 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-edrequirements.  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.  Although this degree is a general transfer degree, South Puget Sound Community College has provided pathways and associated recommended courses for ease of student selection based upon a student’s career interest.

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 98. 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.

Course Modality All courses at South Puget Sound Community College use some form of online learning resource. Students should expect that all courses at SPSCC will use an online Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver some course content, and be prepared with adequate internet and technological resources to access such content.

Attendance 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.

When a class is dropped, it will not appear on the student transcript.

Withdrawing 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.

Running Start students who withdraw from classes will receive a grade of W on the high school transcript. Withdraw grades do not impact the cumulative high school GPA.

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 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.

Course Waivers 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 150

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; and  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.  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.  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

151



grade recorded during the active quarter. They may enroll in a future quarter for grade renewal purposes.

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 10credits 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 Extra- Institutional 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.

Grading Policy 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: A (4.00) Superior achievement A- (3.67) B+ (3.33) B (3.00) High achievement B- (2.67) 152

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) N Audit. No grade points calculated.

P Progressing. No grade points calculated.

S Satisfactory completion at or above the 2.0 level. No grade points calculated. (See note #2) U Unsatisfactory completion of the course below a 2.0 level. No grade points calculated. (See note #2) 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 Reports Students may locate final grades at the end of each quarter online in their ctcLink Student Center and unofficial transcript. Official transcripts can be ordered online at spscc.edu/students/transcripts-verifications.

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 quarter in which a student is academically deficient, the student will be placed on academic probation. After the third 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.

153

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

Grade Renewal 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;  The student has attained a quarterly GPA of 2.5 or greater in two consecutive quarters at SPSCC since earning the initial grades; and  The student has not withdrawn from more than five credits per quarter since returning to SPSCC.

Academic Honors Each quarter South Puget Sound Community College recognizes outstanding academic achievement by placing students on the President’s List or Vice President’s List. A notation of the award will be placed on the student’s permanent transcript.

President’s List To receive the President’s List designation, students must earn both of the following:  A quarterly grade point average of 4.0.  A minimum of 12 graded, college-level credits (S grades not included).

Vice President’s List To receive the Vice President’s List designation, students must earn both of the following:  A quarterly grade point average of 3.60 to 3.99.  A minimum of 12 graded, college-level credits (S grades not included).

Part-time students are eligible each time they complete 12 college-level credits and their GPA falls within the designated list for the quarter. Part-time students need to notify the Office of the Vice President for Student Services each time they qualify. Vice president’s List and President’s List notations will be posted on the transcript for the quarter in which the 12 college-level credits are completed.

154

Graduation Honors Students in degree programs who achieve college-level GPAs of 3.75 to 3.89 will graduate with High Honors. Students in degree programs who achieve college-level GPAs of 3.9 to 4.0 will graduate with Highest Honors.

Tuition, Fees, and Registration Washington residents pay regular in-state tuition. A resident student is one who has been living in the state of Washington for at least one year prior to the commencement of the quarter for which the student has registered, and has established an intention to become a bona fide resident of the state for other than educational purposes. Special consideration is given to military personnel, recent veterans, their spouses and dependents, refugees and undocumented students who graduated high school or the equivalent in Washington State. Contact Enrollment Services for more information at enroll@spscc.edu. Tuition and fees are due approximately three weeks before the start of the quarter. Actual dates will be posted online and at the One Stop. Tuition rates are set by the Legislature. Current tuition rates and due dates are published each quarter online at spscc.edu/pay-for-college. The college charges a quarterly $20 matriculation fee, and a quarterly technology fee at the following rate: a student in 1-9 credits $40 students in 10 or more credits $50; ABE/ESL/GED/Parent Co-op students $10. An additional per-credit fee of $6 is assessed, which was established by a vote of the students to cover costs of the Student Union Building and the Health and Wellness Center. Associated Student Programs (ASP) fee for Running Start students is $5 per credit. For up-to-date information, see the quarterly publication Advance, visit spscc.edu, or contact the Business Office at 360-596-5246.

SPSCC will not impose; late fees, deny access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or require any covered individual to borrow additional funds because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under chapter 31 or 33.
