The College

Student Identifier Numbers Social Security Number Disclosure

A student's social security number is confidential, and, under authority of the federal Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA), the college will protect it from unauthorized use and disclosure. In compliance with state/federal requirements, disclosure may be authorized for the purposes of state and federal financial aid, Hope/Lifetime Learning tax credits, academic transcripts, assessment, or accountability research. Student Identifiers

The Washington State legislature recently passed a bill that requires Washington State colleges and universities to discontinue the use of Social Security Numbers (SSN) to identify students and their records. The law is intended to add additional protections to student privacy, student identity, and student records. A student identifier (SID) has been assigned to students whose SSN was used as their primary identifier. The new SID will be required whenever students access the YVCC website or when they request services on campus. The new SID will also appear on class rosters and other college documents and records. The SSN will no longer be used as the primary student identifier. The SSN is stored confidentially in the student's records and can only be used for necessary purposes such as financial aid, financial aid-related verifications, Hope Scholarships, transcripts, workforce or unemployment data matching, and other legitimate uses as authorized under this law.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Grandview Campus

The Grandview campus provides comprehensive educational services that are accessible to students in the southern portion of YVCC's service district. Students from Bickleton, Grandview, Granger, Mabton, Prosser, and Sunnyside take developmental, professional/technical, and college-transfer courses here. Staffed with ten full-time faculty members, including two full-time counselors, and approximately 38 part-time faculty, the campus served 1,516 unduplicated students in 2004-05. Approximately 100 of these students were high school students in the Running Start Program, and 695 were students in ABE/ESL programs. Of students enrolled, 68 percent were female and 78 percent were ethnic minorities. The Grandview campus offers courses that support a variety of student goals. For example, individuals may enroll in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, while others wanting to earn a General Educational Development (GED) Certificate can take GED classes and the GED test in Grandview. Furthermore, students can complete one of several information technology certificates as well as the transferable associate in arts and associate in business degrees at the Grandview campus. The campus is expanding with the development of a workforce education building that will house viticulture, enology, and allied health programs, thus offering more learning opportunities to students at the Grandview campus. Courses are also available that apply to various vocational and transferable degrees on the Yakima campus in areas such as agriculture, early childhood education, elementary education, allied health, business, criminal justice, and natural sciences. To facilitate the learning of students, the Grandview campus offers a complete array of student services including advising, financial aid, admission, registration, cashiering, disability support, bookstore, food vending, and placement services.

Moreover, students may take distance learning courses via interactive television (ITV) and the Internet so they do not have to travel to the Yakima campus. Please contact the Grandview campus at 509-882-7000 for the most up-to-date information regarding course offerings and services provided.

The College

Distance Learning

IDS@YVCC: Interdisciplinary Studies

Yakima Valley Community College offers credit courses through various modes of distance learning. These courses are designed to allow flexibility for students. Online courses require access to a computer and the Internet, either at home or in one of the open computer labs on campus. The two-way, audio-video, interactive courses require students to attend class on specific days and times and provide the opportunity to have class with students at other sites. The telecourses and twoway interactive courses may also require use of the computer and Internet to increase interaction between students and the instructor. Distance learning courses may also have a lab fee. See the quarterly schedule for fees. Students in these courses may be required to attend an orientation session on campus at the beginning of the term, and some instructors may require on-campus or proctored exams. Orientation sessions are provided to assist with successful course completion. Many courses meet degree requirements and are designed to be transferable. Distance Learning course offerings vary each quarter. They appear in the YVCC schedule of classes on the Distance Learning pages and also under the departmental listings. For more information on the Distance Learning Program, please call the Distance Learning Office or visit yvcc.edu/distance.

Learning Communities and Integrated Learning A learning community (LC) is a collection of students, instructors, and classes linked by a common idea, theme, or public issue. Such themes could include “Matters of Life and Death” (biology and English), “Magellan to Mozart” (history and music), “Crimewriters, Ink” (criminal justice and composition), “Climate and Calculations” (mathematics and geography), or “Reading, Writing, Ready for College” (reading and developmental writing). The issues could include euthanasia, global warming, or fear of mathematics. “Integrated Learning” may be the result of a learning community assignment, but it also can take place between two disciplines with a common goal, outcome, or experience, such as a case study review (biology and nursing), not linked by a formal “community.” Some say that “reality is integrated,” so our learning should reflect that reality. Advantages l Students in learning communities tend to stay in school. National and local statistics indicate that students in learning communities tend to stay in school. College can be intimidating, especially for first-time, first-generation college students. However, instructors — such as the ones students will meet and get to know well in learning communities — are familiar with how the campus community works and so are better able to answer questions about degree or certificate advising, financial aid, or other college questions. l Get to know your instructors. Depending on the number of classes linked, students will have more contact with two or more instructors, as many LCs have both or all instructors and students in the room during both or all classes. And, because most teachers were themselves good college students, learning-community instructors can help students learn what it takes to survive a new class, major, or career. l More time with like-minded, supportive students. Very often, the students in LCs have the same degree goals — nursing, information technology, four-year transfer degrees — in mind when they register. So students will meet like-minded friends who can support each other as long as they take classes at YVCC. They may be in the same classes and may study together quarter after quarter. What Do Students Say About Learning Communities? “I took with me the skill of keeping such things as my books and syllabi I receive in classes, because you might have to go back to them in order to show future employers your skills....” The instructors] give you different lessons to help you build different skills for classes you will have in the future.” – Shanik T. “The time we spent learning note-taking efficiently was helpful, as well as the time reviewing our notes for upcoming tests.” – Angela T. “The most important thing I learned from these classes is how to think critically and how to analyze claims. I often look back before this quarter and can’t believe that I was so gullible.” – Sarah B. “The most important lessons I have learned from this community was that organization is the key to survival. The very interesting part is that I’m really excited to come back next quarter, even though there were so many frustrations and barriers I had to break through. Talk about growing up! This class has helped me more than anything I have ever done.” – Rhonda W. For more information on YVCC learning communities, contact Gordon Koestler at 574-4828 or gkoestler@yvcc.edu.

International Students’ Program Yakima Valley Community College offers a small, friendly International Students’ Program, which gives personal attention from the moment of application all the way through to transfer or graduation. Students will not be just another name or number. We will do what we can to make students’ time in the United States enjoyable and rewarding. However, we will challenge students to do the best they can and to succeed. Acceptance and admission into the college is based on a thorough review and evaluation of the student’s entire application file. Please allow a minimum of 8 weeks to process the application. Once students have fulfilled all admission requirements, they will receive a letter of acceptance and an INS Form I-20 that they must take to the American embassy or consulate in order to apply for an F-1 visa. The I-20 cannot be sent until all documentation and a $25.00 application fee are received and the student is formally admitted to the college. Application Requirements

Running Start

The Running Start Program is a partnership between Yakima Valley Community College and Washington State public high schools. The program offers eligible high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take classes that satisfy both high school and college credit requirements, get a head start on earning college credits, seek a greater academic challenge, or take courses that are not offered in high school. Students may enroll simultaneously in high school and college classes or solely in college classes. To participate in this program, students must place into English 101 and Reading 101 on the YVCC placement test. While YVCC tuition is paid by the school district, students are responsible for their own transportation, lab fees, and textbooks. For more information or an application, call YVCC’s Running Start Program office or talk with a high school counselor.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Underage Student Admission Yakima Valley Community College does not desire to replace or duplicate the functions of the local public schools in regard to providing instruction to students under the age of eighteen. For applicants under the age of eighteen, academic as well as emotional maturity are of particular concern. However, the college recognizes that there are circumstances when an underage applicant would benefit from college-level course work. To respond to the needs of those students, the college has established the following special admissions policy. Students are responsible for tuition, class fees, books, and class supplies. 1. Any applicant not qualifying for admission through regular admissions procedures or any underage applicant qualifying for an established program must request to be admitted under the special admissions procedures. 2. The request must be approved by the Admissions Committee. 3. Students admitted under the special admissions procedure: a. will be admitted on a course-by-course basis. b. will be allowed to register for class if space is available after the class has met at least once or after the third day of the quarter. c. must have an advisor’s approval before adding or dropping a course. In order to request admittance under the special admissions procedure, the applicant must complete the following steps. 1. Complete a special admissions application. 2. Submit a signed release from a school or school district official. 3. Submit a letter of recommendation from a school representative addressing the student’s ability to participate in an adult learning environment. 4. Complete the placement test to demonstrate competence and the ability to benefit from college-level coursework. 5. A personal interview with the Admissions Committee may be requested at the discretion of the committee.

Veteran’s Status

Selected academic programs of study at Yakima Valley Community College are approved by the Higher Education Coordinating Board’s State Approving Agency for enrollment of those eligible to receive benefits under Title 38 and Title 10, U.S. Code. The U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs will pay educational benefits to eligible students enrolled in approved programs. Students should contact the Veteran’s Office to complete the application process. Copies of all transcripts from previous colleges must be on file when applying, or only two quarters will be certified.

Veteran’s, continued An advance payment, which is sent to the school, may be requested. Benefits for the preceding month are paid directly to the student. The monthly amount is based upon the enrolled credits that count toward the approved program. If enrollment status is: Full time: 12 credits or more 3/4 time: 9 to 11 credits 1/2 time: 6 to 8 credits Less than half time: contact the Veteran’s office All students receiving veteran’s benefits must maintain adequate progress toward their degree. To verify satisfactory progress, monthly reports of attendance and progress are requested from instructors. VA recipients who fail to maintain minimum standards (2.0 GPA) are subject to academic probation or suspension. This could result in the reduction or cancellation of benefits. Students are responsible for providing necessary information and/or changes, such as program, credit load, address correction, or any other change that may affect their VA status. Students must contact the Veteran’s Office after registering each quarter. For additional information and assistance, contact the Veteran’s Affairs Office.

Registration New full-time students are given an appointment to register upon applying to the college and completing the YVCC placement test. Students will receive notice of specific dates on which they may register prior to the start of the quarter for which they applied. New student registrants must pay tuition and fees in full at the time they register. During the regular academic year, students attending full-time (10 or more credits) are given an opportunity to confer with their advisors, plan their programs for the upcoming quarter, and register in advance. This usually occurs during the eighth or ninth week of the quarter, with tuition and fees due on a specified date prior to the beginning of classes.

How to Register Evening The evening college program offers a variety of on-campus evening opportunities for classes, activities, and services to persons who may not be able to pursue day studies. Registration for these classes, activities, or services is conducted by mail, on the Web, or in person during the regular registration hours listed in the quarterly class schedule or during the first two nights of the quarter (except summer) from 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the Registration and Records Office. Full payment must accompany all registrations. Summer There are no applications or appointments needed for summer school. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Summer school attendance does not ensure admittance to fall quarter. Separate application must be made.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Registration

Website All currently enrolled, full-time and part-time students who have attended YVCC within the last five years may register for classes by using the YVCC website. (Go to http://www.yvcc.edu, click “Online Services,” then “Registration.”) This method offers students the convenience of registering in the comfort of their homes or anywhere they have access to a computer connected to the Internet. Students may use a home computer to access the YVCC website. Access to the YVCC website is also available in designated computer labs on campus and at kiosks on the Grandview and Yakima campuses. This function allows students to conduct business concerning registration, schedule changes, viewing and printing the class schedule, grades, financial aid, admission application status, and registration appointments.

Academic Blocks Students who have been placed on academic suspension or who have outstanding debts to the college, e.g., parking fines, library fines, dormitory charges, or instructional materials due, will not be allowed to register or add/drop until these have been cleared. Nor will official transcripts be released until debts are cleared. The Registration and Records Office requires 24 hours to process the release of a block on student records.

Changes Add/Drop Beginning on the first day of the quarter, students must obtain permission from the instructor (the instructor’s signature) to add a class. Students may add, drop, or change enrollment sections during the first five days of the quarter. However, permission of the instructor is required. For the first five days of the quarter, students may drop classes from their schedules from the YVCC website or in person. Courses dropped through the 10th day of classes do not appear on the transcript. Courses dropped from the eleventh day to three weeks prior to finals (seventh week of the quarter) will appear on the student’s transcript as a W. Students who stop attending classes without officially dropping may receive an F or a V grade at the discretion of the instructor. Classes concentrated within shorter than ten-week sessions are given deadlines proportionate to the standard length of a quarter. For summer quarter deadlines, consult the class schedule for specific dates. Schedule changes are the responsibility of the student. Failure to change enrollment or withdraw officially constitutes sufficient cause to receive whatever grade the instructor deems appropriate.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Withdrawal from College

All students wishing to withdraw from college (drop all courses) during the first five days of the quarter may do so by using the YVCC website or by completing an Add-Drop/Withdrawal Form which they must take to the Registration and Records Office for processing. Students who stop attending classes without officially withdrawing may receive an F or a V grade on their transcripts. For official withdrawals completed during days one through ten, no record will appear on the transcript. The last day for withdrawal from college is the same as that for dropping a course: three weeks prior to the beginning of final exams or as specified for summer quarter or shorter sessions. Withdrawals processed during this period result in W grades being entered on the permanent transcript. For additional information, please contact the Registration and Records Office.

Fees & Expenses

Washington State Residency

Residency status for tuition and fee purposes is determined by RCW 28B.15.012 et seq. A resident student is one who is (a) financially independent and has a twelve-month bona fide domicile in the state of Washington for other than educational purposes, or (b) is financially dependent upon parents or legal guardians, one or both of whom maintain a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington. The term “domicile” denotes a person’s true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation. Financial dependence or independence shall be determined by the amount and kind of financial assistance given to a student and whether or not the student has been claimed as a deduction on income tax forms in the year immediately preceding the quarter for which residency is sought. An independent student who comes to Washington and immediately enrolls at an institution of higher education for more than six credit-hours is assumed to be in the state primarily for educational purposes and cannot establish residency until clear proof is provided showing that he or she has established a permanent, bona fide domicile with concurrent relinquishment of the prior legal residence. Note: A student cannot qualify as a legal resident of Washington for tuition-calculation purposes if she or he possesses a valid out-of-state driver’s license, an out-of state vehicle registration, or other documents that give evidence of legal residency in another state. Once a student has been classified a nonresident, the classification will remain until the student completes a residency questionnaire and supplies evidence that supports a change in residency status. Application for a change in residency status and all supporting evidence must be submitted to the Admissions Office by the 30th calendar day following the first day of the quarter for which the change is requested. Any questions regarding residency should be directed to the Admissions Office. Persons who have completed three full years in a Washington State high school and those who have earned a GED after three full years of living in Washington State but who do not have official residence in Washington may contact the Admissions Office to determine eligibility for resident tuition.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Active Duty Military and National Guard Active duty military personnel stationed in Washington and their spouses and dependents are considered residents for tuition and feepaying purposes. Active duty Washington National Guard members are considered residents for tuition and fee-paying purposes; their spouses and dependents are considered residents only if they reside in Washington.

Refund Policy

Refunds are made for official withdrawals only, and no refund will be given for an amount of less than $10. No refunds will be given if an instructor withdraws a student after the first week of the quarter. All refunds are determined by a formula based upon when the withdrawal is made relative to the beginning of the class. Attendance or nonattendance is not considered when granting refunds. Complete withdrawal fees are assessed whether or not students actually attend class. Part-time students pay a $5 complete withdrawal fee, and full-time students pay a $10 complete withdrawal fee.

Refund Policy, continued Students who withdraw from college in accordance with withdrawal regulations are entitled to the following refund: 1. One hundred percent refund for classes canceled or changed by the college. 2. One hundred percent refund (less complete withdrawal fee) for complete withdrawal prior to, and through, the fifth day of classes (fourth day of classes for summer quarter). 3. Fifty percent refund (less complete withdrawal fee) for complete withdrawal after the fifth day of classes and through the twentieth calendar day after the start of classes (fifth through the fourteenth day for summer quarter). 4. No refund is granted after the twentieth calendar day following the start of the quarter. Refunds for classes which do not follow the regular college calendar are applied on a timetable (as established above) proportionate to the standard length of a quarter. Also, refunds for lab fees will be in proportion to the regular tuition refund schedule. Allow four to six weeks for a refund to be processed. Any student receiving federal or state financial aid who officially or unofficially withdraws from YVCC will have funds returned to the appropriate financial aid program based on the regulations governing the program. Contact the Financial Aid Office for details.

Financial Aid Financing a college education is an investment in the future. Federal and state financial aid programs, as well as privately funded scholarships, are designed to provide the additional financial resources required by students who are pursuing an educational program at Yakima Valley Community College but do not have adequate resources to meet the full cost of attendance.

Assistance Programs Need-Based Programs There are three main types of financial aid that may be included in a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial aid award during the year that are based upon financial need: 1. Grants not normally repaid. 2. Loans, which are usually deferred while the student is in school, but which must be repaid. 3. Student employment for which the student is paid monthly. Yakima Valley Community College participates in the following need-based programs: 1. Federal Pell Grant, a grant program. The student must enroll for at least one credit per quarter. 2. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, a federal grant program. The student must enroll for at least one credit per quarter. 3. Washington State Need Grant, a state grant program. The student must be a Washington State resident and be enrolled in at least six credits per quarter. 4. College Tuition Waiver and YVCC Grant, a state waiver of tuition or grant. The student must be a Washington State resident and be enrolled in at least six credits per quarter. 5. Federal Perkins Loan, a loan with a five percent annual interest rate. The student must be enrolled in at least one credit per quarter. 6. Federal Family Education Loan, a federal loan which is obtained from a commercial lending source such as a bank, savings and loan, or credit union. The student must be enrolled in at least six credits. 7. Work study, federal or state-funded student employment programs. Jobs may be on- or off-campus with payment on a monthly basis. During the summer, a limited number of positions are available for continuing students who are not attending summer classes. 8. Other need-based tuition assistance programs may be available to eligible students who are unemployed or moving from public assistance to work. Please call the Career Connection Center or the Financial Aid Office for current programs and requirements.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Financial Aid

Financial aid grant and loan funds can be used to pay college educational expenses. Financial aid recipients who receive their award after the beginning of the academic term receive their funds within approximately one week of receiving their award letter. Firsttime recipients of federal loans do not receive their first loan check until thirty days after the start of the academic quarter. Programs That Are Not Need Based Yakima Valley Community College participates in two programs which are not based on need: 1. Work Aid is an institutionally funded student employment program open to students enrolled in at least six credits. 2. Unsubsidized Stafford loans allow students without financial need to borrow to meet educational costs.

Eligibility Requirements To be eligible to apply for the federal and state financial aid programs, the student applicant must meet the following requirements: 1. Be a U.S. citizen, national, or a permanent resident. (International students are not eligible.) 2. Have a high school diploma or the recognized equivalent (GED). 3. Be in an approved college program which is at least one year in length and leads to a degree or certificate.

Application Procedure To apply for the federal and state financial aid programs available at the college, the student applicant must: 1. Carefully complete and mail the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. www.fafsa. ed.gov is available to apply electronically. 2. Apply for admission to the college with the college Office of Admissions. 3. Carefully complete any other required documents as requested by the YVCC Financial Aid Office. Financial aid is awarded for one academic year only. Applicants must reapply each year. A supplemental request form for summer aid is available every spring quarter.

Need Determination All financial aid at Yakima Valley Community College is administered in accordance with nationally established policies. Financial need is determined by comparing the student applicant’s resources (parents’ contribution, if applicable, student earnings, assets, and other income sources), as reflected on the student’s financial aid application forms, with standard costs for attending Yakima Valley Community College. If the standard costs are greater than the student’s available resources, an award package to cover all or part of the difference is offered as long as program funds permit. The financial aid award will often be comprised of grants, student employment, and loans. YVCC awards financial aid in the following order, contingent on availability of funds and applicant eligibility. Federal Pell Grants, FSEOG, and State Need Grants are awarded first and then student employment and loans based on remaining need. Most YVCC financial aid applicants do not have their full needs met because of the lack of sufficient funds from federal and state funding sources.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Additional Requirements Once a student has received financial aid funding, there are several additional requirements: 1. All financial aid funds received must be used only for expenses related to attendance at YVCC. 2. The student must keep the Financial Aid Office advised of any changes in financial status so the financial aid award may be revised as long as funding permits. Students receiving either a Federal Perkins or FFELP loan must attend both entrance and exit interviews in order to participate in these loan programs. 3. The student must maintain satisfactory academic progress in the program or major. The courses for which the student is funded must all be completed, and the student must earn at least a 2.00 (C) grade point average. Failure to do so will result in the student being placed on financial aid probation or experiencing financial aid cancellation. 4. FFELP Loan enrollment certifications are based on 0 to 45 credits (freshman) and 46 credits or more (sophomore) that apply directly to the student’s course of study. Developmental classes are not counted. Individuals needing additional information on student financial aid programs may contact the Financial Aid Office.

Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Conditions

Satisfactory Progress

Declaration of a Major Program of Study

Complete all attempted credits * and earn at least a 2.0 quarterly GPA (C average) and meet YVCC’s college-wide academic progress standards. * The number of credits you have on the first day of the quarter or on the day your aid was processed, whichever is later. Students who successfully complete less than 100% of attempted credits, but at least 12 credits, are considered to have met satisfactory progress for financial aid purposes.

After completing 30 college-level credits, you are required to declare a major. You must use the services of a YVCC academic advisor to be sure that you choose only required classes for your degree or certificate. Degree Completion Time Limits

Unacceptable Grades

These grades are unacceptable: I, W, F, N, V, NC, and any academic renewal notations. Noncompletion

You may be required to repay a portion of grant funds if you earn only unacceptable grades and complete zero credits. A federal formula is used to determine if the aid received exceeded the cost of attendance for the period of enrollment. Students who complete at least 60% of the quarter are not required to repay grants received. Student Loan Applicants

A student loan request cannot be processed for you if you are on probation, suspension, or have a college-level GPA below 2.0. Probation Status

You will be on probation if you complete less than a 2.0 quarterly grade point average or if you complete between 50% and 99% of attempted credits. (See “Examples of the Policy.”)

Suspension Status

Your aid is suspended one quarter if you fail to make satisfactory progress while on probation or if you complete less than 50% of attempted credits. (See “Examples of the Policy.”) Petition for Reinstatement

You may petition for reinstatement if you feel that an unusual and unavoidable circumstance contributed to your lack of satisfactory progress. If you received all V grades, however, your aid eligibility will not be reinstated except in unusual cases.

You must complete your program of study within 150 % of the normal time frame for federal programs and within 125% of the normal time frame for state programs. For instance, continuation of federal aid requires that a sixquarter program of study be completed in no more than nine quarters or 135 credits. If you attempt more college-level credits than your degree requires, you will be asked to provide a copy of your degree plan to demonstrate that you are taking only required classes and will graduate within 150% of the scheduled program length. Additional time is granted for developmental classes. This can add up to 50% of the program length (45 additional credits may be added for a 90-credit program). As a result, some students may be funded for up to 12 quarters. Students are allowed one program change. A second change requires a statement from the student’s advisor, counselor, or department head. To request financial aid for a second change of major, you must submit your request in writing. After 91 credits attempted, you must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and must demonstrate that you are making progress toward your degree..

Return after Denial of Reinstatement

You may return after a one-quarter absence if you are denied reinstatement from suspension or after a three quarter absence following dismissal. After your absence, contact the Financial Aid Office for a form that assists you with the reinstatement process. To be reinstated after your absence, you must work with an advisor to develop an approved, signed educational plan, and you must provide the Financial Aid Office with a signed statement that explains why you believe you are now prepared to meet the financial aid academic conditions. Dismissal Status

If you return from a prior suspension and fail to make academic progress, you will be dismissed from financial aid eligibility, subject to appeal. If the dismissal is upheld, you will not be eligible to return until the fourth quarter following the dismissal.

Students discover programs and activities that offer opportunities for active participation or passive enjoyment. The Student Life Office works with students in providing films, speakers, exhibits, debates, recreational tournaments, dances, concerts, forums, open microphones, club days, cultural events, concerts, and special events. These programs and activities are a coordinated effort to supplement and enhance the curriculum at the college. Students, faculty, and staff at the college work together to implement new ideas into a program format.

In addition to the productions, Playmasters produces the Reader’s Theater and is active in theatre outreach workshops in the school districts, performances for visiting prospective students, and student-directed projects.

Student Rights & Responsibilities Admission to the college carries with it the expectation that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the college community, that they will comply with the rules and regulations of the college, maintain high standards of integrity and honesty, respect the rights, privileges, and property of other members of the college community, and will not interfere with legitimate college affairs.

The Code

A booklet, The Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, is available in the Office of Student Life. It describes student rights and responsibilities and the policies and procedures which govern students at YVCC, including any disputes involving the college, its faculty or staff, and the student. The code also describes violations, procedures, and sanctions.

Academic Dishonesty Plagiarism: Buying, copying, borrowing, or otherwise plagiarizing another’s images, ideas, evidence, examples, opinions, or other original products or documents from published, unpublished, or electronic sources for the purpose of deceiving an instructor as to the product’s origin. Plagiarism is “the wrongful act of taking the product of another person’s mind and presenting it as one’s own” (MLS Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 4th Edition, p. 26). Plagiarism occurs when an author fails to give credit for someone else’s words, someone else’s examples, someone else’s ideas or opinions, statistics or other facts compiled by someone else, evidence or testimony taken from someone else’s argument, or an image from another artist. YVCC recognizes two types of plagiarism: intentional and unintentional. Intentional plagiarism is the dishonest act of appropriating another’s ideas, words, facts, opinions, or images with the intent to deceive others about the document’s origin. Any student found to have committed intentional plagiarism shall be subject to disciplinary actions provided for in the code for “Procedures and Summary Suspension Rules.” Students may also commit plagiarism without intent to deceive. A student’s intent to deceive shall be taken into account when instructors evaluate an act of plagiarism. All forms of plagiarism which an instructor determines to be unintentional should be treated as instructional problems to be handled within the studentinstructor relationship with the instructor following, but not limited by, the following penalty guidelines: 1. Student must resubmit the assignment after instruction but before an agreed-upon due date. 2. Student can receive a lowered grade on the assignment, including F. 3. Student can be advised to seek aid from the Writing Center or Tutoring Center as a condition for receiving a grade or resubmitting an assignment. The instructor need not take formal disciplinary action for unintentional plagiarism. For other violations, see The Code of Students Rights and Responsibilities.

Children in College Activities According to state law, preteen children are not permitted to be on campus, and only registered students and authorized college staff and volunteers may participate in field trips, retreats, or other college-authorized travel activities. See The Code of Students Rights and Responsibilities.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Financial Obligations

The Student Debt Policy is in effect to promote fair treatment of students who are in debt to the college and to provide an accurate and systematic procedure for collecting these debts. The college intends to provide an atmosphere of support while developing a sense of responsibility in students who have incurred debts to the college. Students who have any debt reported to the registrar from any college department or operational unit will have their registration blocked and transcripts withheld until the debt is cleared or arrangements for payment are approved.

Student Participation in Governance As members of the college community, students will be free, individually and collectively, to express their views on college policy and on matters of general interest to the student body. The ASYVCC Constitution and the college’s administrative procedures provide clear channels for student participation in the formulation and application of institutional policies regarding academic and student affairs. Individuals affected by a policy shall have a representative voice in the formulation of that policy.

Obtaining Information on Requirements The student has the right to seek academic advice when planning a course of study. However, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to read the catalog; check the requirements for his or her degree, certificate, or graduation; contact any schools to which transfer is anticipated; and become familiar with admission requirements. YVCC provides abundant reference materials for the student and his or her faculty advisor to use, but the final responsibility rests with the student.

It also has a warm-up area and a stretching and abdominal work area.

Student Residence Center/Housing

Perhaps one of the most unique and atypical aspects of the residence hall at Yakima Valley Community College is that a community dining food service is not available in the residence hall. This means that we can provide a safe, clean living community for students all within a short walk from classes, recreational facilities, the library, and other campus facilities at a competitive price. Community cooking and eating facilities, designed to help create a positive community spirit, are provided in the residence hall. One of the most memorable facets of residence hall life is the opportunity to share experiences with others. The residency eligibility conditions and established community standards reflect the shared values and expected norms with regard to conduct and acceptable behavior and are agreed upon by the members of the residence hall. These community standards help residents and staff maintain a positive community while empowering residents to have a say in the development of their community. Courtesy for neighbors in the community prevails. Any residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior, including disorderly conduct, that disturbs the community or demonstrates an unwillingness to live in a group setting, is prohibited. We have, through research, student input, and experience, developed residence hall policies, procedures, rules, and community standards to benefit and serve students wishing to live in an on-campus community environment. Former residents have played an important role in the development of these community standards. The standards support cooperation, integrity in relationships, respect for the dignity and worth of all persons, and the development of important living and social skills. For a view of available housing options, current prices, community standards, and an online application, visit our homepage at www.yvcc.edu/prospective/ Housing.asp. We hope that you choose to live with us in the residence hall and that your experience will be memorable, positive, and enjoyable.

Academic Progress Standards & Procedures Purpose Yakima Valley Community College is committed to the educational success of students. The college recognizes that individual student success requires a clear educational goal, careful course selection, and a substantial commitment of student time and effort. In support of student success, the college provides programs and services to assist students with their educational choices and their learning processes. The college has the additional obligation to support and require academic progress for enrolled students. This is essential both for the wellbeing of the student and for the responsible management of the public higher education resources. Standards In order to maintain satisfactory progress while enrolled at YVCC, students are expected to maintain a grade point average of 2.0 or higher on a quarterly and a cumulative basis. Students will not always be able to maintain these academic standards, so the college provides the following rules, supports, and procedures: Determining an Educational Plan

All new degree-seeking students must establish that they are prepared to succeed in their chosen educational program. Upon completion of 30 collegelevel credits, students who have not declared a program or major area of study will be required to meet with an advisor to prepare an educational plan and declare a major. Commitment to an Educational Plan

Upon completion of 60 credits toward the transfer associate degree or an associate of applied science degree, students must apply for graduation. Certificate students must apply for graduation one or two quarters prior to graduation, depending on the certificate requirements. This timeline is intended to allow sufficient time for necessary adjustments to a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course schedule and to better support timely program completion. Students will receive a postcard reminding them to apply for graduation.

Academic Rules Degree or Certificate Completion

Students must complete their program or major prior to the accumulation of more than 125% of the credits required to complete their program or major. For example, the transfer associate degree is designed to include 90 college-level credits in predetermined distribution areas. Due to individual circumstances, a student may accumulate more than 90 college-level credits prior to completion of the degree. If the student accumulates 112 college-level credits and has not completed the degree requirements, the college will block registration until the student’s certificate or graduation application is submitted to the registration office. If a student does not complete their certificate or degree requirements upon completion of 150% of the credits required to complete their program or major, the college may withdraw priority registration privileges for subsequent enrollment. The student will be assigned a registration appointment after the appointments of continuing students with fewer accumulated credits. In addition to loss of registration priority, the college may apply a tuition surcharge for subsequent enrollment by these students. Exemptions to Credit Limits

Sub-100-level coursework Non-degree-seeking students Students returning with previously-earned degrees Programs requiring substantial college-level prerequisites International students who are held to more stringent guidelines Students with disabilities, medical hardships, personal hardships, or military duty, subject to appeal

Academic Progress

Financial aid students must successfully complete all of the credits for which they are awarded financial aid and must earn at least a 2.0 quarterly GPA to maintain satisfactory progress. Please see specific financial aid academic requirements in this catalog, which can be found at http://www.yvcc.edu/Financialaid/Forms.asp, or visit the Financial Aid Office for a printed copy. Academic Probation

Students will be placed on academic probation if their GPA falls below the minimum standard of 2.00. Students placed on academic probation will be notified by mail. Academic Suspension

Students who have been placed on academic probation and who fail during the next quarter to make satisfactory progress shall be suspended for one academic quarter. Students placed on academic suspension will be notified by mail and may appeal by the deadline stated in their suspension letter. Students who do not appeal will be dropped from their classes (tuition will be refunded, if warranted) and will be required to meet with an advisor and complete an educational plan as a condition of re-enrollment. Students will be blocked from registration until evidence of their educational plan is submitted to the registration office.

Academic Renewal Policy

In order to encourage students who may not have been successful during their previous college work, Yakima Valley Community College has established an academic renewal policy. Students who return after an absence of at least a year, and who subsequently pass two quarters of work (at least 12 credits each quarter) with a 2.00 GPA or better, may petition the Dean of Student Services to implement the Academic Renewal Policy. If the petition is accepted, grades for the quarter chosen, and all quarters prior to the one chosen, will be changed to “No Credit.” All courses previously taken remain on the transcript, but the grade point average is adjusted. Courses subject to this policy will not count toward completion of the student’s program of study. Students who wish to rescind this policy must petition the Dean of Student Services. The policy may be used only once, and students must be enrolled at the time the policy is implemented. No other college work is subject to the provisions of this policy.

Advanced Placement Program The Advanced Placement Program is a testing program of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). It is a special, college-level, learning experience for high school students, which can take the form of an honors class, a strong regular course, a tutorial, or an independent study. High school students who have participated in the Advanced Placement Program during high school or have developed an equivalent background through selfinitiative may take tests offered by the College Board each year during the month of May, and scores will be reported to three colleges of the student’s choice. The student must have successfully completed one quarter at YVCC before advanced placement credit will be placed on the transcript. Scores in computer science, economics, and music may also be submitted and will be evaluated on a caseby-case basis.

Academic Dismissal

Students who return from prior suspension and fail to earn a minimum 2.0 GPA for the quarter shall be dismissed from the college, subject to appeal. If dismissal is upheld, the student will not be eligible to return until the fourth quarter following the dismissal. Students will be blocked from registration until evidence of their educational plan is submitted to the registration office. Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Attendance

Class attendance is required at the discretion of the instructor. Regular class attendance is encouraged and expected. No absences, whether approved by the college for participation in collegesponsored activities or necessitated by sickness or other personal emergency, relieve the student of responsibility for work assigned for the class during his or her absence. The student is responsible for arranging makeup work with instructors. Faculty may submit an administrative withdrawal whenever a student misses two consecutive class sessions and does not contact the instructor. No refund is given. A grade of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fâ&#x20AC;? may be assigned by the instructor if a student does not follow the prescribed procedures for withdrawing from a course or from the college. Students must be officially enrolled in a course to attend class.

College-Level Examination Program

CLEP examinations are based on undergraduate courses offered during the first two years of college study. They are developed by college instructors for the purpose of awarding college credit. Like end-of-course examinations, CLEP exams demand comprehensive subject knowledge. Both CLEP subject and general examinations yield credit at Yakima Valley Community College when satisfactory performance levels are reached. CLEP tests are available in over 50 college subjects. Yakima Valley Community College accepts CLEP as follows: 1. Examinations are accepted for credit equivalent to not more than one introductory course offering of five credits or less for each examination completed successfully. 2. Examination scores must be at the 50th percentile or greater. 3. DANTES and USAFI examinations (CLEP administered in the Armed Forces) are acceptable on the same basis as prescribed for CLEP. 4. Total credits obtained through all alternative (non-class) methods are limited to 45. 5. Students must successfully complete one quarter at YVCC before CLEP credits will be placed on their transcript.

Confidentiality: Release of Student Information Yakima Valley Community College, in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) 34 CFR, Part 99, has designated the following items as Directory Information: name; address; telephone number; date and place of birth; photographs; email addresses; major field of study; eligibility for and participation in officially recognized activities, organizations and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams; dates of attendance (quarters in attendance); enrollment status (number of credits enrolled in for a quarter at YVCC); degrees and awards received; and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Academic Rules Yakima Valley Community College may disclose any of the above-listed items without the student’s prior written consent unless the Registration and Records Office is notified in writing to the contrary. Once a student has designated a confidential classification, it will not be removed until the student submits a signed authorization requesting that it be removed. Some of the effects of the student’s decision to request confidential status may have an adverse effect. Friends or relatives trying to reach the student will not be able to do so through the college; information that someone is a student here will be suppressed, so that if a loan company, a prospective employer, family members, etc., inquire about a student, they will be informed that we have no record of the student attending here. All other student academic information is considered confidential and will not be released, with certain exceptions as stated in 34 CFR, Part 99, without the student’s written permission. Students must appear in person in the Registration and Records Office with photo identification and must submit their written consent for the release of other academic information. Student Privacy Rights Under FERPA The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) 34 CFR, Part 99, affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records. 2. The right to request the amendment of any of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. See “Directory Information” in this catalog. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

Course Challenge

Under guidelines approved by each department, current students may challenge courses in which they believe they have substantial prior learning. This policy is meant to provide department faculty with a way to grant credit in appropriate courses to students who demonstrate mastery of the course outcomes. The policy for course challenge is outlined below. 1. Students may only challenge a course or courses for which they have not received college credit at any accredited institution. 2. The student must be enrolled in at least one course at YVCC during the quarter a course is challenged. However, the student cannot be enrolled in the course to be challenged. 3. The student should review degree requirements in this catalog to determine limits on using courses with S grades. 4. Credits earned by the challenge process do not count toward the residency requirement. See “Degree Requirements” in this catalog. 5. The course being challenged must be offered during the quarter in which it is being challenged unless otherwise specified by the department. 6. Department faculty will determine which, if any, of their courses may be challenged. 7. Any full-time YVCC instructors, with the signature of the department head on the Course Challenge Form, may administer challenge examinations in accordance with departmental policy. In the event that a full-time instructor is not available, the department head, in consultation with the dean, may request that an adjunct faculty member administer a challenge exam. 8. A course may be challenged only once. 9. Challenge examinations must be given prior to the day grades are due each quarter. 10. Credits earned will be recorded on the transcript with an S grade. A student must have a prior YVCC transcript to challenge a course. An unsuccessful challenge will not be posted. Course Challenge Process 1. Obtain a Course Challenge Form from the Registration and Records Office. 2. Meet with the department head of the class to be challenged. The department head will help determine if the class is available for challenge and must sign the Course Challenge Form before the student can proceed to the next step. 3. Pay the cashier a nonrefundable, $25.00 per credit examination/ transcription fee. 4. See the designated instructor to schedule the examination date. Upon successful completion of the course challenge, the instructor must sign the Course Challenge Form. Students failing the challenge test will not be given a grade, and no reference will be placed on the transcript. 5. Proceed to the dean of the department for an approved signature. 6. Take the completed Course Challenge Form to the Registration and Records Office. The course will be posted to the transcript with a grade of S at the end of the quarter.

More detailed information about each of these rights is contained in the YVCC Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. Obtain a copy of these rights from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or visit this U.S. Department of Education website, http://www.

Academic Rules

Course Numbering

The numbers from 0-99 designate developmental courses and certain professional/technical classes. These classes are not college level. Classes numbered from 100-299 are college level and generally transferable to baccalaureate degree programs. Courses numbered 099, 199, or 299 designate independent study and field experience classes. Courses numbered 098, 198, or 298 designate experimental or exploratory classes. Cooperative field experience (co-op) courses are assigned the 190 and 290 numbered series. Community service courses are numbered with 076 and are not awarded credit. Courses listed in this catalog constitute the most recent record of the total academic program of the college. Listing does not mean that all courses are offered every quarter or every year. Consult the quarterly schedule of classes for a list of specific course offerings.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit

The decision to grant transfer credit is based upon several factors, chief among which is accreditation. For transfer purposes, YVCC recognizes as fully accredited only those institutions that have received accreditation by one of the following associations: 1. New England Association of Schools 2. Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools 3. North Central Association of Colleges and Schools 4. Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities 5. Southern Association of Colleges and Schools 6. Western Association of Schools and Colleges Students who wish to transfer credit from international institutions must have their international transcripts evaluated through the AACRAO, Northwestern International Education Services Office. Contact the International Student’s Program Office or the Registration and Records Office for more information. Regardless of institutional accreditation, YVCC does not grant credit for religion or theology courses that are sectarian in nature. Credit for professional/technical-oriented courses is at the discretion of the department or division chairperson of the applicable program. Individual courses, grades, and grade points for transfer credit will not appear on the transcript nor will they be included in the cumulative grade point averages on the transcript. Only the total number of acceptable credits will be posted on the student’s Yakima Valley Community College transcript upon graduation. However, courses and grades used to satisfy degree requirements will be used in calculating grade point averages for the established graduation grade point standards. Students should consult the “Honors and High Honors at Graduation” section of the catalog for information on the use of grades in transfer credit courses in the calculation of honors.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Final Examinations

Final examinations are scheduled during the final week of each quarter. As a matter of college policy, individual students are not permitted to take early final examinations. If a student must be absent from a regular final examination and has a valid excuse, the student may be given a special examination with the permission of the instructor and the Vice President for Instruction and Student Services. Permission slips to request an early final may be obtained from the Office of the Vice President for Instruction and Student Services. In courses where final examinations are not an appropriate measure of the work, an instructor may elect not to give an examination.

Grades

A student must earn a grade of “C” or better in prerequisite courses, unless otherwise noted. Contact the program advisor immediately if there are any questions.

Errors and Changes Students who believe that an error may have been made in the grade received in a course should contact the instructor immediately. If the instructor is not available, contact the dean for that division. Grade changes for grades other than “I” will not be accepted beyond one year.

Grade Point Average (GPA) Grade points serve as a means of objectively stating a given level of scholarship or mastery of tasks. A point value is assigned for each grade. A complete list of these grade point values appears in this catalog. The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of graded (A-F) credit hours. The grade points for a particular course are determined by multiplying the grade point value of the letter grade times the number of credits. For example, a three-credit course with a grade of B has nine grade points. I, N, S, V, W, CR/ NC, and * grades are not included in the calculation of the grade point average.

Grade Reports Grades are available to students each quarter, one week after grades are due. The quarterly due dates are posted in the class schedule. Grades can be obtained by any of the following means: 1. Use the student Online Services Center in the Registration and Records Office or the Hopf Student Union Building. 2. Go to the YVCC Internet address at http://www.yvcc.edu, click “Online Services,” and then click “Unofficial Transcript.” 3. Visit the Registration and Records Office, show photo ID, and obtain an unofficial copy of the transcript. 4. Write the Registration and Records Office and request a copy. Include signature, Student Identification Number, and mailing address.

Academic Rules Transcripts An official transcript is a copy of the student’s academic record bearing the school’s seal and the signature of the registrar. Official transcripts are released to the student or third parties at the student’s written request. There is a 48-hour turnaround time for official transcripts. Unofficial transcripts for advising purposes are furnished to the student upon request and with proof of identification (photo ID). Students may obtain them by visiting our website or by using the Online Services Center in the Registration and Records Office or in the Hopf Student Union Building. A fee of $1.00 per copy will be charged for transcript requests of 10 or more.

Confidentiality of Grades While YVCC recognizes the legitimate interest of parents and guardians to consult with the professional staff about the academic and personal well-being of their sons and daughters, parents of YVCC students will not be furnished grade reports or transcripts without written permission from the student. Likewise, the spouse of a married student, regardless of the student’s age, will be given such information only with the written consent of the student. Students must appear in person in the Registration and Records Office with photo identification and must submit their written consent for the release of their grades. (See “Release of Student Information”).

Grading Symbols Grades of A through D, S, and CR are considered passing grades. However, some degree programs may have restrictions on the use of the D, S, and CR grades. These grades may not be acceptable in meeting general/major requirements at some transfer institutions. The grade A is the highest possible grade, and grades below D are considered failing. Plus (+) or minus (-) signs are used to indicate grades that fall above or below the letter grades, but grades of A+ and D- are not used. Additional information regarding other grades used is provided below. For purposes of calculating grade points and averages, the grade point values are as in the following chart.

Grade A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ D F CR I N NC R S V W *

Description

Gradepoint

Excellent....................................... 4.0 ...................................................... 3.7 ...................................................... 3.3 Above Average........................... 3.0 ...................................................... 2.7 ...................................................... 2.3 Average........................................ 2.0 ...................................................... 1.7 ...................................................... 1.3 Below Average............................ 1.0 Failure.......................................... 0.0 Credit or Progress...................... 0.0 Incomplete................................... 0.0 Audit............................................ 0.0 No Credit..................................... 0.0 Repeat.......................................... 0.0 Satisfactory.................................. 0.0 Unofficial Withdrawal............... 0.0 Official Withdrawal................... 0.0 No Grade Reported.................... 0.0

CR/NC - Credit/No Credit Generally for use by the nursing and English departments. CR indicates credit will be granted to nursing students or that progress was shown for English students. (English students who receive a grade of CR in sub-100-level English courses have indicated progress was made in the course. However, a grade of S must be earned before they can progress to the next level of English.) NC indicates no credit will be granted. Grades of CR/NC are not included in the grade point average calculation. I - Incomplete An incomplete grade (I) indicates that work is satisfactory as far as completed. It permits the student to complete the work within five weeks of the following term if the student is registered or within one calendar year if not. The I grade may be given in cases where a student has been in attendance and done satisfactory work up to a time near the end of the quarter but is unable to complete all work by the close of the quarter due to illness or other extenuating circumstances. Submission of I grades must be accompanied by a signed Incomplete Form indicating what work is to be completed. I grades are not included in the GPA calculation. N - Audit Students may receive an audit grade (N) without instructor approval by indicating the audit category at the time of registration or by changing to audit during the designated add period. Students seeking an audit after the designated add period must meet with their instructor for approval. The instructor must sign their approval on an Add/Drop Form before the Registration and Records Office can process the request. Auditing students are exempt from examinations and do not receive college credit. However, the instructor may require reasonable attendance and class participation. N grades are not included in the GPA calculation. P/F - Pass/Fail YVCC does not use the P grade. See S (satisfactory) grade.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Academic Rules

R - Repeat The repeat (R) designation indicates that a student has repeated a YVCC course. Students must file a repeat card in the Registration and Records Office so that the grade point can be adjusted upon course completion. I, N, W, and V grades have no grade point value; therefore, no repeat cards are necessary when repeating a course for which a student received such a grade. All courses taken and all grades earned in compliance with the Yakima Valley Community College High-Demand Course Repeat Rule will appear on the student’s transcript. For all repeated courses, the higher grade forgives the lower grade and replaces it in GPA computations. However, the lower grades will remain on the transcript but will not be used to compute the YVCC cumulative GPA. Grades received in violation of the Yakima Valley Community College High-Demand Course Repeat Rule will not be used in GPA computations and will not appear on the student’s transcript. Note: See the complete text of the rule in this catalog or on the web at www.yvcc.edu. S - Satisfactory The S grade indicates a satisfactory level of performance (C grade minimum) by the student. It is considered a passing grade but not included in the GPA calculation. This grade may be used in certain instances where A-F grading is deemed inappropriate. V - Unofficial Withdrawal An unofficial withdrawal (V) may be assigned by an instructor at the end of a quarter if the student has not officially withdrawn from a course or when no other grade can appropriately be assigned. Each instructor must determine if it is appropriate to assign a V. A grade of F may be assigned by the instructor if a student does not follow the prescribed procedures for withdrawing from a course or from the college. Submission of V grades must include the last date of student attendance in the course. The assignment of 10 or more credits of V grades in any quarter results in the student being placed on academic probation. V - Administrative Withdrawal An administrative withdrawal may also be assigned by an instructor during the quarter if the student has two or more consecutive unexcused absences. Instructors who wish to withdraw students for lack of attendance at any time prior to the designated withdrawal deadline for the quarter may submit an Administrative Withdrawal Form to the Registration and Records Office after the second missed class meeting. Submission of V grades must include the last date of student attendance in the course. Students administratively withdrawn from a course will not be eligible for tuition refunds during refund periods. Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

W - Official Withdrawal An official withdrawal (W) will be assigned if a student drops a course or withdraws from the college after the first 10 days of the quarter (or as specified for shorter sessions). A grade of F or V may be assigned by the instructor if a student does not follow the prescribed procedures for withdrawing from a course or from the college. W grades are not included in the GPA calculation.

* - No Grade The asterisk (*) is recorded on the permanent transcript when no grade is submitted by the instructor. The asterisk will remain on the transcript until an official Grade Change Card is submitted to the Registration and Records Office by the instructor. The asterisk is not included in the GPA calculation.

Repeating a Class

State board policy permits only two repeats in addition to the original enrollment, except for certain performance classes. See the High Demand Course Repeat Rule which explains more stringent guidelines for repeating courses that are in high demand.

High Demand Course Repeat Rule General Rule

The Yakima Valley Community College High Demand Course Repeat Rule was developed to provide students with fair access to high demand classes. It allows students to repeat courses. In high demand circumstances, a course can be taken twice (once initially and once repeated). All letter grades earned, A through F as well as I, V, or W grades, will be reported on a student’s transcript. This course repeat rule applies to courses with Wait Lists which are identified by the departments as “high demand.” YVCC departments reserve the right to establish program course repeat rules which may be more stringent than this college-wide High Demand Course Repeat Rule. Student Responsibility

It is the student’s responsibility to understand and adhere to this and all college rules. Students who are discovered to have violated this policy will be administratively dropped from classes. A student repeating a course is responsible for completing a Course Repeat Card, which may be obtained in the Registration and Records Office, requesting that their GPA be recalculated. Violations

Students will not receive credit for courses taken in violation of this college High Demand Course Repeat Rule. Related grades will not be used in computing GPAs, and the course will not appear on the student’s transcript. GPA Applications

All courses taken and all grades earned in compliance with the guidelines of this policy will appear on the student’s transcript. The higher grade forgives the lower grade and replaces it in GPA computations. The lower grade will remain on the transcript but will not be used to compute the YVCC cumulative GPA. Grades received in violation of this rule will not be used in GPA computations and will not appear on the student’s transcript. A student transferring to another college should check that school’s course repeat policy. It may differ from this repeat rule.

Academic Rules Exemptions

The YVCC High Demand Course Repeat Rule does not apply to the following courses: 1. Courses with numbers below 100 (e.g., ENGL 070) 2. Foreign language classes 3. Studio art, metalsmithing, design, and painting classes 4. Non-high demand courses (as defined by departments) 5. Courses designed to be repeated, for example: Performance courses (e.g., music, choir, physical education) Seminar courses where content changes quarter to quarter Math Center and Writing Center courses Other courses designed for multiple quarter enrollment Waivers

In extraordinary circumstances, and upon receipt of an acceptable plan of study, the faculty member teaching the class, the area dean, or the vice president of instruction and student services may provide written authorization to the Registration and Records Office to waive this rule for a student.

Scholastic Standards

Each quarter the college recognizes outstanding academic achievement by placing students on the President’s List or the Dean’s List. Each of the students who meets the criteria for these designations will receive a letter and a certificate acknowledging this award. A notation of the award will also be placed on the student’s permanent transcript.

President’s List To receive the President’s List designation, a student must earn both of the following: 1. A quarterly grade point average of 3.85 or higher. 2. A minimum of 12 graded credits (S & CR grades not included).

Dean’s List To receive the Dean’s List designation, a student must earn both of the following: 1. A quarterly grade point average of 3.40-3.84. 2. A minimum of 12 graded credits (S & CR grades not included).

Part-time Students The college is aware that some of our part-time students have also achieved significant academic success while balancing full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and college studies. Part-time students are eligible each time they complete 12 credits at YVCC and their GPA falls within the designated list for the quarter. Parttime students need to notify the Registration and Records Office each time they qualify. Dean’s List and President’s List notations will be posted on the transcript for the quarter in which the 12 credits are completed at YVCC.

Standards of Progress Financial Aid Recipients The Education Amendments of 1976 require that students make satisfactory progress in their course of study to remain eligible for financial aid. See “Financing Your Education.” Veterans Students eligible for VA educational benefits must maintain adequate progress toward their degrees. The college’s scholastic standards are used to determine standards of progress. VA recipients who fail to maintain minimum standards are subject to academic probation/termination. In addition, students’ attendance is monitored by the Veteran’s Coordinator.

Technical Course Transcript Policy

Yakima Valley Community College recognizes the expertise of such agencies as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Fire Academy, the State Police Academy, Emergency Medical Services, and some other qualified training systems. The college’s policy, therefore, allows students who have successfully completed technical and professional courses through these federal or state-accredited agencies and certain other organizations to apply to YVCC for recognition of the training. Students who are enrolled in a technical or professional/technical program may have previous training in the program’s technical subject areas. Rather than repeat the training in a YVCC class, the student may present official documentation of the equivalent training for that class and request an evaluation by the YVCC department. If the department and the dean’s office approve, the previous training may be entered on the student’s transcript. Official Technical Transcript Forms are available in the departmental offices and in the dean’s office. Questions concerning this process should be directed to the Office of the Dean for Workforce Education. Transcript Procedure 1. The applying student must have an existing YVCC transcript. 2. If the student believes that previous training and a YVCC class are equivalent, the student should bring documentation of the previous training to the appropriate department and request that the training be added to his or her transcript in lieu of repeating the training in the equivalent YVCC class. 3. The department/advisory committee evaluates comparable course work. If the department/advisory committee agrees with the student’s assessment, it completes and signs the official form and sends the applicant and the form to the Office of the Dean for Workforce Education for approval. 4. If the dean approves, the form is sent to the Registration and Records Office. 5. The Registration and Records Office enters the equivalent YVCC class on the student’s transcript with an S grade. Yakima Valley Community College, 2007-2008

Degrees General Information Degree Requirements In order to meet general requirements, all candidates for degrees from Yakima Valley Community College must have: 1. A minimum of 90 quarter credits. Some professional/technical degrees require more. 2. A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher 3. A minimum of 24 credits completed at YVCC Exception Petition While candidates are expected to comply with all degree requirements, a student may request an exception if there are extenuating circumstances which warrant consideration. The review process is initiated by the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submission of a written petition to the Registration and Records Office outlining the exception requested and stating the reasons for the request. The petition should be submitted with the degree application two quarters before the student plans to graduate. The Dean of Student Services will review the petition and the student will receive written notification of the decision.

General Education Requirements A substantial core of general education is regarded as an essential component of all instructional programs. General Education in Transfer Degrees

General education in the transfer degrees introduces students to the content and methodology of the major areas of knowledgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. The faculty has identified and adopted three fundamental abilities essential to lifelong learning that are practiced and assessed in courses across the degree. 1. 2. 3.

Analytical Reasoning - The ability to apply learning to new situations, use methods that suit the circumstances, support claims with evidence, and recognize and use multiple points of view. Problem solving - The ability to find and execute a solution in order to achieve a goal. Communication - The ability to be aware of context, to organize thoughts clearly, and to respond to non-verbal information.

Five other abilities reflect skills and values which the faculty consider important to being an educated person. Historical perspective, research, aesthetic literacy, service learning, and crosscultural/global perspective are practiced within various courses of the general education curriculum.

Degrees General Education Requirements for Applied Science (Professional/Technical) Degrees and Certificates (45+ credits)

In order to be awarded an applied science degree or certificate, students must complete courses covering three core competency distribution areas: computation, communication, and human relations. Specific courses are required that will fulfill these competencies. The curriculum in professional/ technical areas is competency based and has been developed to meet industrywide skills standards. Courses approved for core competency standards are listed as follows:  Computation  Communication  Human Relations Specification of Catalog Year Students may elect to graduate under the official printed catalog in force at the time they first entered YVCC, provided they remain continuously enrolled (continuous enrollment is defined as attending a minimum of two quarters out of each academic year) and the lapsed time does not exceed five years. They may also choose to graduate under the official printed catalog in force at the time they apply for graduation. Reciprocity Agreement Washington community and technical colleges (CTCs) offer reciprocity to students who are transferring within the CTC system and are pursuing the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) degree or the Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T) degree. Students who completed an individual course that met distribution degree requirements or fulfilled entire areas of their degree requirements at one college will be considered to have met those same requirements, if they plan to complete the same degree, when they transfer to another community or technical college in Washington. The degree requirements include communication skills, quantitative skills, or one or more distribution area requirements. Students must initiate the review process and must be prepared to provide necessary documentation. Reciprocity Procedures

Students who transfer from another community or technical college to YVCC may be eligible for reciprocity if they have: l Applied for admission to YVCC l Completed an individual course at the other college that meets the communication, quantitative, or distribution area requirement or completed entire areas of their degree requirements for the same degree at the other college (communication, humanities, etc.) l Maintained a cumulative, college-level GPA of 2.0 of better at the other college l Met the other college’s residency requirement (minimum number of credits required to earn their degree) l Continued to pursue the same academic transfer degree at YVCC l Met YVCC prerequisite, general education, and graduation requirements l Provided all necessary documentation to YVCC (a Reciprocity Agreement Request Form located in the registration office or online at www.yvcc.edu/ prospective) Upon receipt of the completed form and official transcripts from the other college, YVCC agrees to consider that the distribution area requirements have been met upon evaluating the student’s transcript.

To Have Credits Transferred Under the Reciprocity Agreement

Request an official copy of your transcript from the other college be sent to YVCC for evaluation. Obtain a copy of the evaluation results from the registration office. Review the results of your transfer evaluation. If you think that reciprocity applies to you, complete and mail the Reciprocity Agreement Request Form (obtain the form from the registration office or online at www.yvcc.edu/prospective) to the registrar’s office at the other college. The other college will complete the form and send it back to the YVCC registration office. A copy will then be mailed to you. The Reciprocity Agreement Request Form must be attached to your YVCC graduation application. It is also required that you inform your advisor of the agreement in order to ensure proper advising concerning your educational goals.

For additional information concerning the reciprocity agreement, contact the credentials evaluator in the registration office or visit online at www.yvcc.edu/prospective.

Honors at Graduation Associate degree graduates with exceptional academic qualifications may graduate from YVCC with honors or high honors. The designations are based on the cumulative college-level grade point average. Calculations are based only on YVCC course work numbered 100 and above, whether or not the course work is required by a particular program. Courses numbered 099 or below are not considered. Because the honors/ high honors designations are granted by YVCC, transfer credits are not used in calculating GPAs. Eligibility is limited to associate degree graduates who have completed at least 24 credits at YVCC. Classes taken during spring quarter will not be included in GPA calculations since grades will not have been posted before the time of commencement. To receive the honors-at-graduation designation, students must have a YVCC cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.40 to 3.84. For the high honors designation, students must earn a 3.85 or higher cumulative GPA.

Transfer Degrees Degrees Offered

The Associate in Arts and the Associate in Business Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) degrees and the Associate in Science transfer degree are designed for students intending to transfer to a four-year college or university. These degrees are all part of the Intercollege Relations Commission (ICRC) transfer agreement and offer several options depending on the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area of interest. Senior institutions in Washington that honor these agreements are listed below under Transfer Information. l l l l

Transfer Information Students who plan to transfer from Yakima Valley Community College to another college or university should work closely with a faculty advisor and study the following information: 1. At the time of transfer, students will be expected to meet the entrance requirements of the institutions to which they are transferring. The transferability of courses taken at YVCC is determined by the institution to which the student transfers. Other institutions accept most YVCC distribution courses. 2. Electives should be chosen carefully from courses numbered 100 or above and according to the guidelines found in the electives section for each degree. Students should work closely with faculty advisors before attempting to transfer professional/technical courses. 3. A student may earn a total of more than 90 credits at YVCC, but the total number of credits accepted for transfer is determined by the institution to which the student transfers. 4. Courses numbered below 100 will not normally transfer to a baccalaureate institution. To complete the transfer process to a senior institution, students are advised to follow these procedures: 1. Consult a current catalog of the institution to which he or she wishes to transfer to obtain current information regarding admission procedures and specific major requirements. Study the entrance requirements and suggested first- and second-year level courses in the major field of interest. Institutions differ in their treatment of credits received. 2. Confer with a YVCC counselor or advisor about transfer needs. Transfer guide sheets for senior institutions are available on most web pages for the specific colleges. 3. Confer, either by letter or personal interview, with an admissions officer at the senior institution for information about curriculum and transfer regulations. 4. Check carefully a quarter or two before transferring to be sure that all requirements will be met and all regulations are observed to the satisfaction of the senior institution. Last-minute changes in a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major field of study or choice of senior institution may create transfer problems. Such changes should be made only after consultation with advisors.

Transfer Degrees These senior institutions honor the ICRC transfer agreement: Bastyr College Central Washington University Cornish College of the Arts Eastern Washington University Gonzaga University Heritage University Northwest University Pacific Lutheran University Saint Martin’s University Seattle Pacific University Seattle University The Evergreen State College University of Washington Washington State University Western Washington University Whitworth College Students wishing to enter institutions not listed above should confer with a counselor or advisor as early as possible so that appropriate course equivalencies at YVCC can be more accurately selected. Most of the schools listed have some specific requirements which can be met at YVCC but are not required in our AA degrees. Check with an advisor early in your academic career to find out about additional requirements of your chosen transfer institution. Transfer-back Policy It is sometimes in the best interests of students to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting institution before they have satisfied the requirements for the associate degrees at YVCC. Therefore, students who have completed a minimum of 75 credits at YVCC may petition the Graduation Review Committee for permission to complete YVCC’s requirements for associate degrees at another accredited institution of higher learning. A maximum of 15 credits may be transferred back to YVCC, but no more than five credits may be in any one YVCC distribution or skill area (natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, communication skills, quantitative skills). These credits must be earned within the first quarter/semester after transferring from YVCC.

Degree Application Procedures All candidates for an associate degree must submit a degree application for approval. Students are required to submit their applications once they have completed a total of 60 credits. This is intended to allow sufficient time for meaningful adjustments to a student’s course schedule in order to better support timely program completion. Follow these steps to apply: 1. Obtain the appropriate degree application from the Registration and Records Office. 2. Make an appointment with an assigned advisor and complete all information requested on the application. 3. Obtain necessary signatures. 4. Return the completed application with the $10 graduation fee to the Registration and Records Office. Students will be notified, in writing, if the degree application cannot be approved as submitted. Degree Application Procedures for Workforce Education Division All candidates for applied science degrees and certificates through the Workforce Education Division must submit a degree application for approval. Students are required to submit degree applications once they have completed 60 credits. Certificate applications should be completed prior to registration for the last planned quarter of attendance. This is intended to allow sufficient time for student course schedule adjustments if necessary. Follow these steps to apply: 1. Obtain the appropriate degree or certificate application from the Registration and Records Office or from an assigned advisor. 2. Make an appointment with an assigned advisor and complete the degree or certificate application. 3. Take the complete application to the Cashier’s Office, pay the $10 graduation fee, and return the application marked “paid” to the Dean for Workforce Education’s office for signature. 4. A signed application will be forwarded to the Registration and Records Office.

Associate in Arts DTA Associate in Arts DTA, Science Option Associate in Business DTA General Information Yakima Valley Community College offers the Associate in Arts degree which meets the requirements of the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA). There are two options available under the Associate in Arts degree: the Associate in Arts and the Associate in Arts, Science Option. The Associate in Business DTA Degree ensures satisfaction of lower division general education (or core) requirements and lower division business requirements at the state baccalaureate institutions. Students who earn any of these degrees will normally be prepared to transfer to Washington colleges and universities with junior standing, having met most lower-division general education requirements subject to the provisos listed in the ICRC handbook (available at http://www.washingtoncouncil.org/ICRCHANDBOOK2004.pdf or in the YVCC Advising Center). The college endorses the Policy on Inter-College Transfer among Washington public colleges and universities, which was approved by the Higher Education Coordinating Board in February, 1986.

Associate in Science Degree Transfer

Note: Special advising is required for this degree. Yakima Valley Community College offers the Associate in Science Transfer Degree for students who are interested in pursuing a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in biology, biochemistry, chemistry (Track 1) or physics, engineering, or computer science [information technology] (Track 2) at a baccalaureate institution. Students completing the Associate in Science degree will receive the same priority consideration for admission to the baccalaureate institution as those students completing the direct transfer agreement and will be given junior status by the receiving institution. Students with this degree do not, however, meet the general education requirements of the receiving institution. Therefore, students will be required to complete the general education requirements or general university requirements during the junior and senior year. This degree is appropriate for a student who has a strong commitment to majoring in one of the sciences and who is ready to enter MATH 124 (Calculus) and ENGL 101. Completion of this degree will prepare the transfer student for upper division study in the sciences. However, it does not guarantee admission to the major. Course sequences should be completed at one institution. For example, the physics sequence or chemistry sequence should be completed at one school. Advising is a critical element for students pursuing the Associate in Science transfer degree in order to determine exactly which courses are included in each of the categories. Students are responsible for checking specific requirements of the baccalaureate institution. Students interested in pursuing this degree should contact the Admissions Office directly for referral to Associate in Science degree advisors. Options The Associate in Science degree has two tracks: Track 1- biology, biochemistry, chemistry, and geology - and Track 2 - engineering, computer science [information technology], and physics. Note: Completing Track 1 as a biology major is dependent upon the availability of the organic chemistry sequence being offered at the YVCC campus by Central Washington University. Degree Requirements Communications (5 credits): ENGL 101 Mathematics (18 credits): MATH 124, 125, 126, and 224 Humanities and Social Science (15 credits) Five credits of humanities from the approved distribution list, five credits of social science from the approved distribution list, and five additional credits of either humanities or social science. Major Requirements (60 credits) To be determined by the specific degree the student is pursuing.

Vocational Technical Degrees Degrees offered l l

Associate of Applied Science YVCC/Perry Technical Institute Combined Degree

Associate of Applied Science Degree The Associate of Applied Science degree is designed to provide competencies related to the workplace; it is not designed as a transfer degree so a student wishing to transfer applied science degree credits will not be automatically accepted as a junior at four-year colleges and universities. However, since some individual courses taken under this degree plan are transferable, students wishing to transfer with this degree are likely to receive some advanced-standing credit after their transcript is individually evaluated by the receiving institution. This degree may be awarded upon completion of a prescribed program. In order to be awarded an applied science degree or certificate, students must complete courses covering three core competency distribution areas: computation, communication, and human relations. Specific courses are required that will fulfill these competencies. The curriculum in vocational/technical areas is competency-based and has been developed to meet industry-wide skills standards. For specific degree requirements, please refer to the "General Requirements for All Degrees" section and the appropriate program of study section of this catalog. Applications for these degrees must be approved by both the department head of the completed program and by the divisional dean.

Education

The Education Department provides career and enrichment course work and field experiences that build knowledge, skills, and competencies for providing education and care for children and families. The Education Department is comprised of several different areas of study: early childhood education, education, family life education, reading, special education, CDA prep coursework, and STARS training. Several programs of study are offered: Early Childhood Education Program, Education Program, Paraprofessional Program, Parent Education Cooperative Preschool Program, and ECED Special Education Instructional Assistant Program. Each program has different admission criteria, course work, and degree options, ranging from inquiry/introductory classes and field experiences to transfer degrees focused on teacher preparation and/or family life-related careers. The Early Childhood Education Program (ECED) at Yakima Valley Community College believes that the needs of young children are best met by teachers and caregivers who are trained with a blend of classroom theory, interactive learning communities, and skill standards-based laboratory experiences, assignments, and projects. Students learn through the course content and methods of study how critical the first five years of life are for child development. Learning activities for the child must be developmentally appropriate for the age and stage of development, while meeting the needs of the whole child physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. The child must be guided in developing independence, self-control, cooperation, and positive self-concept in a safe, healthy, multicultural learning environment where staff and family members play a critical role in the learning process. Upon completion of the program, the student will have demonstrated competency in the skill standards for early childhood professions or paraprofessionals and should be prepared for entry-level employment in the area for which the certificate or degree has been earned.

Careers Childcare and preschool assistants and teachers, parent educators, paraprofessionals, and elementary school teachers are in high demand throughout Washington State and the Yakima Valley. Employers include public and private childcare centers, preschools, K-8 schools, and child/ family service organizations. In addition, many students operate their own home childcare businesses. Students are cautioned that career options in education might be limited by criminal convictions, physical requirements, history of drug or alcohol use, or other bona fide occupational qualifications determined by employers.

The Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) in Elementary Education with Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) This program, in collaboration with Central Washington University (CWU), offers a baccalaureate degree in elementary education with a secondary endorsement in TESL. It provides a course of study for persons desiring to teach children in kindergarten through eighth grade in public and private schools. This program is unique in that the outstanding instructional strengths of two institutions are brought together to provide students a rare opportunity to experience learning at its best in the classroom and in the field. All classes are held on the YVCC campus in Yakima. Students first complete an Associate in Arts degree with Education Emphasis at YVCC. Admittance into the YVCC program does not ensure admittance into the Teacher Education Program at CWU. Students must meet entrance requirements to the CWU program, which includes an associate degree. Be sure to check with an Education Department advisor or on the CWU website (www.cwu.edu) to get the latest information.

WEST - B Information While working for the associate degree requirements, students must also prepare for and take the WEST - B test. This test is mandated for admission to all teacher preparation programs in the state of Washington. It is advisable to take this test before April if fall quarter admission will be sought. For information about the test, to download a study guide, or to sign up for the test, visit http://www.nesinc.com. Students must apply to CWU and the Teacher Preparation Program separately by April 1 for fall quarter admission. Entrance requirements include at least a 3.0 grade point average for the last 45 graded credits, all required applications and fees, admission to CWU and the Teacher Preparation Program, successful completion of the WEST - B test, all required letters of support, and other items as required each year. Under the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA), students are only admitted to CWU in the fall, and these students stay together for the two years of teacher preparation. To download application materials for CWU, go to www.cwu.edu. To access information about CWU's Teacher Preparation Program, go to www.cwu.edu/cert. Students who complete the DTA program can apply to teach in the state of Washington with endorsements in elementary education (K-8) and TESL. The courses are offered by the collaborating institutions: Yakima Valley Community College and Central Washington University. All classes are held on the YVCC campus. Yakima Valley Community College provides basic course work in the areas of science, communication, math, and entry-level education. Central Washington University provides a strong professional education sequence, an upper-division elementary curriculum, TESL curriculum, and student teaching.

English For developmental reading or writing, see "Developmental Studies" or "Reading" The mission of the English Department is to help students develop the habits of writers, readers, and critical thinkers and to further their interest in reading and writing as a way of learning about themselves and the world. Most YVCC students will take college composition courses ranging from ENGL 070, “Reviewing English Essentials I,” to ENGL 102, “English Composition II.” Most transfer degrees require completion of ENGL 101 and 102 with a C (2.0) or better. YVCC placement scores determine initial placement in composition courses. Consult with an advisor for placement in the composition series and for specific degree requirements. To become more competent college writers, students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university often take ENGL 203, “The Research Paper,” which also satisfies three credits of basic requirements. Since a solid foundation in reading, writing, and critical thinking is necessary for student success, students who place in ENGL 070 generally must complete ENGL 070 and 075 before entering ENGL 101. In addition to the composition courses, YVCC English instructors teach a range of creative writing and literature survey courses. “Creative Writing” and “The Poetry Workshop” are taught occasionally by the department’s staff of writers. Other specialty courses include “Women in Literature,” “Literature of the Pacific Northwest,” “Survey of Latin American Literature,” “The Mystery Novel,” “Introduction to Native American Literature,” “The Bible as Literature,” and others. Most of these courses earn humanities distribution credit. Students who wish to enroll in a 100-level literature course must be eligible for ENGL 101. Students who wish to enroll in a 200-level literature course must have completed ENGL 101. Consult the list of courses below for any other prerequisites. In 1999, the English Department began to publish a literary journal as part of a student literary journal class. ENGL 170/171 is offered each spring and earns humanities distribution credit. In this course, students examine YVCC student submissions of writing and visual arts as a way to discover concepts of aesthetic literacy. At the end of the quarter, 170/171 students produce a literary journal, which is distributed to the college and surrounding community. To support student success in writing for any discipline, the English Department houses two writing centers, one on the Yakima campus in Glenn 111 and one on the Grandview campus in Room L117. Student-centered facilities, the writing centers are writing communities with consultants trained to help YVCC students with any aspect of writing, from gathering ideas to finalizing a paper or other writing project. Research shows that regular use of writing center services helps to improve student performance on writing assignments. Students also can earn credit for meeting with consultants weekly or for working as peer consultants. Current hours for the Writing Centers in Yakima and Grandview are listed on the Writing Center website, www.yvcc.edu/owl. When students have completed ESL 101 and 102, they will generally enter ENGL 070. A grade of B+ or higher in ESL 102 is required of ESL students who want to enroll in ENGL 101.

English Placement Policy Students are place in the English sequence by YVCC testing. Those students placed in DVWRI 041, ENGL 070, and ENGL 075 earn grades of S, CR, or NC, with a few students continuing to earn an I, V, or W. Students in these courses as well as DVREA 051 and DVREA 081 are required to earn a grade of S in order to advance to the next class. Information about the English Department policy on retesting is available at the YVCC Testing Center in the Deccio Higher Education Center. Once a student enters the composition sequence, he or she may not retest.

Students will learn the basics of composing with the use of software—such as Inspiration, Writing About Reading, and CommonSpace —which is specific to writing classes, and a word processing package such as Microsoft Word. Students will learn how composing on computers significantly enhances the writing process as they brainstorm, exchange drafts for online peer critique sessions, confer with each other online, and work together and with the instructor to revise their work using the Screenwriter. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor ENGL 085: Writing Workshop 1-2 Cr Quarters: F, W, S The writing center workshop is designed to guide students through writing assignments and related work from any or all classes. Students in the workshop will get individual assistance from writing consultants at the Writing Center and will be coached in the process approach to writing. Strategies for gathering ideas, drafting, organizing, revising, and editing their work will be emphasized, as well as how to view grammatical “errors” as opportunities to learn. The workshop also offers guidance in critical reading strategies and, in general, provides a place where students may ask questions about academic language.

The program provides an opportunity to acquire education and training with a state standardized curriculum in a system that ensures a quality program. Courses are designed to meet or exceed curriculum requirements and standards of the Washington State Fire Command and Administration, the International Fire Service Training Association, and the National Fire Protection Association. These courses are planned to provide a variety of training opportunities for individuals involved in diverse areas of the many emergency service agencies in our district. Instruction is provided by qualified members of the fire service who have expertise in specific areas. In order to assure quality of instruction, faculty may be brought in from different parts of the state, or courses may be conducted in distant locations where specialized equipment/facilities are available. Emergency medical technician classes are provided through an arrangement with the Yakima Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Office. Certification is issued by the state of Washington. Students may enroll in any quarter and participate in specific courses. One may pursue a degree in fire science, a certificate in fire science, or a fire officer degree. Each degree and the certificate include general course requirements as well as technical fire training. Upon completion of the fire science degree, students will be prepared for entry-level employment in the many emergency service areas in our district. The fire degree enhances the general and technical education of individuals who are actively participating in emergency services and prepares them for moving into management-level positions.

Geography

Geology

Geography is an integrative discipline that unites the physical and social sciences in the study of people, places, and the environment. Major themes geographers explore are the interaction of human and natural environments, movement, and regions. Geography studies the whereand-why factors that shape our world and our lives in spatial terms.

A basic group of geology courses is offered so that students may gain an understanding of the earth’s surfaces and interior, and the processes which have changed Earth through time. Courses are taught for students who wish to satisfy natural science requirements, to explore the field for future study, or to learn for personal enrichment.

126 German - Health Education - History

German

With the increase in travel and trade which has characterized the past several decades, we experience more frequent personal contact between Americans and persons of other cultures, history, and language. The study of German makes it possible for us to establish direct personal contact and improve our understanding of other peoples, while at the same time preserving our cultural heritage. Knowledge of German not only fosters greater awareness but also helps one to appreciate other values and ways of life. Communication, as well as the exchange of ideas and information about the culture, is an important objective. Because English is a Germanic language, one also can gain greater insight into the workings of his or her native language. Through comparison, one comes to realize the various patterns of language used to interpret experience and thought. The study of German is a definite benefit in preparing for careers in commerce, business and international relations, law, science, and the arts.

Required Supporting Classes The Nursing Department often receives more applications for admission than there are spaces available in the program. A system of priority for program entry, based on numbers of prerequisite and supporting courses completed, is described under "Admission Criteria" in the following section. Because of this system, students may need to complete BIOL 231, and 232 as well as PSYCH 101 before they can gain priority for entry. If, however, application numbers decrease so that students may be admitted without having completed BIOL 231 and 232 as well as PSYCH 101, students will be expected to complete these courses according to the following time lines in order to progress: 1. BIOL 231 must be completed by the end of the first quarter. 2. BIOL 232 must be completed by the end of the second quarter. 3. PSYCH 101 must be completed by the end of the third quarter. Note: Students must complete all required and supporting courses with a grade of C (2.0) or above. A grade of C- will not be accepted. The following requirements may be taken any time prior to ADN program completion: 1. Five credits of humanities electives taken from those approved for distribution credits in the YVCC catalog. 2. Ten credits of social science electives taken from those approved for distribution credits in the YVCC catalog. These ten credits are in addition to PSYCH 101. Required Prerequisite and Supporting Classes for Practical Nursing Option The same prerequisite courses are required for the PN option as are required for the ADN program (RN option).

This does not include additional points possible if meeting the second-language or registration/ certification for other health-related field criteria. 10% (or 10 points) allocated for second-language proficiency Note: Language proficiency is validated by successfully passing the DSHS Language Testing and Certification Exam. Please contact the Nursing Department for information on registering for the exam. 6% (or 6 points) will be given for registration or certification in another health-related field Note: Credit for registration or certification in a health-related field must be validated by the Nursing Department. 4% (or 4 points) will be given, one time only, for reapplication to the program Note: Credit for reapplication to the Nursing Program will only be given one time. It is not cumulative. Priority Level II

If there are not sufficient numbers of students who have completed all nursing prerequisite and corequisite coursework, students who have completed two out of three corequisite courses (BIOL 231, BIOL 232, PSYCH 101) will be considered for admission using the criteria listed in Priority Level I. Priority Level III

If additional tie-breaking procedures are needed, a random selection of remaining candidates will be conducted. Reentering Students Students who successfully complete at least the first quarter of the Nursing Program, interrupt their course of study, and then seek reentry, will be readmitted on a spaceavailable basis following the Nursing Program's readmission policy. Students who proceed continuously through the program maintain priority enrollment for each quarter. Courses in Residence Requirement for Transfer Students Students who want to qualify for a Practical Nursing Certificate and eligibility for licensure must complete the third and fourth quarter in residence. Students who want to earn the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing and be eligible for the RN licensing examination must complete at least quarters five and six in residence.

Physics 145

Physics

Physics is the fundamental science. All other sciences and technologies can find their roots in physics. Physics principles are logical and simple and yet far-reaching in their application. Currently a single-quarter introductory physics course and two different physics sequences are offered. Introduction to Physics: The introductory physics course is a good beginning science course while the general physics and engineering physics courses give strong backgrounds in classical physics (i.e., mechanics, energy, work, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and waves). General Physics I, II, III: General Physics I, II, and III are non-calculus-based, intended for non-science majors and some allied health majors. However, these courses are a solid preparation for engineering and science majors with no previous experience with physics. These courses can be used by the transfer student to satisfy a general or noncalculus-based physics requirement at a university. Engineering Physics I, II, III: Engineering Physics I, II, and III are calculus based, intended for the mathematics, physics, chemistry, or engineering major transfer student. Most premed majors also use this sequence. The sequence of subjects is essentially the same as the general physics sequence, but the topics are considered from a more rigorous mathematical viewpoint. The lab content of Engineering Physics is similar to General Physics, but the mechanics of the labs (data collection and analysis) are very different. These courses can be used by the transfer student to satisfy an engineering or calculus-based physics requirement at a university.

Radiologic Sciences

The Radiologic Sciences Program is a sequence of courses that fulfills the educational objectives established by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists and competencies outlined by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The program commences in June each year. The program is accredited through Yakima Valley Community College by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Basically, a radiologic technologist is like a photographer. They take pictures or images of internal organs or structures within a person's body. The technologist produces images using ionizing radiation, film, and computers, etc. An integral job responsibility is patient care. While producing images, human touch and patient safety are critical. Technologists will be faced with the entire spectrum of patient types: healthy people needing routine physical procedures, trauma victims, the critically or terminally ill, the elderly, etc.

Careers Upon successful completion of the 24-month program, students are granted an Associate of Applied Sciences Degree in Radiologic Technology (AAS) and are eligible to apply to take the national registry examination offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Radiologic technologists seek employment in hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. With additional training and/or college coursework, graduates are eligible for CT, MRI radiation therapy, ultrasound, administration, and education. For more information on current employment trends, contact the Washington State Employment Security Department Job Service Center at 800-215-1617.

Spanish 153

Spanish

All courses emphasize oral language acquisition. The primary goals are to have students speak and understand the spoken language. The conversation courses are usually taught in the evenings and differ from the academic courses primarily in breadth. In other words, evening courses are less extensive in material covered. Also, these courses usually do not have a lab requirement and usually meet twice a week. At times, conversation courses are adapted for specialized needs, i.e., Spanish for law-enforcement officers, Spanish for medical personnel, etc. The regular academic courses meet on a daily basis. They have a lab requirement and are more extensive. The academic courses are more demanding and require more testing of acquired skills. A person serious about learning a language well might profit most by taking the academic courses simply because of the greater exposure to the language. Better yet, it might be advisable to take both the academic courses and the conversational courses. As part of cultural enrichment, a traditional travel/study program to Spanish-speaking countries is sponsored during different times of the year. This program is open to the general public. Participants not only have the opportunity of traveling through fascinating places, but also may receive college credit for this experience. For additional information, contact the Spanish Department.

Course Placement for Spanish Courses Students may generally be placed in Spanish courses as outlined by the following: Spanish 101: No Spanish to less than one year of high school Spanish; Spanish 102: One year to two years of high school Spanish; Spanish 103: Two or more years of high school Spanish; Spanish 201: Two or more years of high school Spanish. Native Spanish speakers who speak considerable Spanish in their home (particularly if they have studied formal Spanish in school) should, in most cases, begin with the second-year Spanish course sequence. The second-year sequence consists of Spanish 201, 202, and 203. Qualified native speakers may not find it necessary to take the 200-level classes in sequence. Please inquire with instructor. Second-year courses are not limited to only five credits for humanities distribution. These courses also count toward a student’s major or minor at a four-year institution. A foreign language minor consists of approximately 47 credits, and 15 of those credits can be taken at YVCC. Students who are unsure of placement level after meeting with an advisor should discuss their placement with a foreign language instructor. If interested in taking an evaluation to more accurately determine placement, please take a computer Spanish-language placement test in the computer lab in Deccio 208. It is advisable to begin the foreign language 101 or 201 sequences fall quarter and thereby complete a one-year program in Spanish in fulfillment of the requirement at many four-year institutions.

Veterinary Technology

The mission of the Veterinary Technology Program is to attract, educate, and graduate highly competent individuals who are prepared to make a positive impact in their employment areas through excellent patient care, interpersonal communication, and economic skills. The Veterinary Technology Program is a two-year course of study leading to an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Veterinary Technology. Successful completion of the program should provide the graduate with the credentials and basic information for successful completion of the national and state board examinations leading to licensing as a Veterinary Technician. YVCC’s Veterinary Technology Program is staffed by clinicallyexperienced, licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Facilities include small animal wards, and the horses are housed at an off-campus facility. Other privately-owned, off-site, large-animal facilities will be used as well. The program is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

Careers Veterinary technicians are an integral part of the animal health care team, assisting veterinarians and biological scientists in their work. Licensed veterinary technicians are employed in a variety of situations. These include private veterinary practices, universities, veterinary schools, wildlife rehabilitation centers, pharmaceutical firms, research facilities, zoos, animal feed companies, diagnostic laboratories, the government and military, and humane shelters. YVCC’s program provides training for students in the following areas: restraint and nursing of pets, horses, food animals, exotic and laboratory animals; clinical laboratory procedures; surgical assisting; dental, anesthesia, and radiology techniques; medication administration; and use of routine hospital equipment. Course work will also cover various business aspects of veterinary practice such as client communications, medical record keeping, inventory control, computer technology, and veterinary ethics.

Admission YVCC’s Vet Tech Program starts a class of students each fall. Since the program has limited enrollment, admission is based on high school and college grades, completion of program prerequisites, letters of recommendation, plus work and veterinary experience. Applications must be received by May 10 to be considered for the following fall quarter. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will have the credentials to be eligible to take the national and state board examinations required for licensing as veterinary technicians. They will have been given the opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge needed for employment within the exciting field of veterinary medicine.
