Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 Yakima Valley Community College has implemented a drug abuse policy in compliance with Public Law 100-690. It is the goal of YVCC to adhere to federal regulations and provide a drug-free workplace. The college experience teaches more than facts and numerical equations. It offers the opportunity to explore moral and ethical problems that one will face throughout one's life. One of the most significant problems confronting college students is whether to use or avoid alcohol and drugs. YVCC is dedicated to maintaining a drug-free campus for students and employees. YVCC policy prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of a controlled substance on campus and in all off-campus locations where classes, seminars, workshops, meetings, and college-related activities are offered. Violation of the laws and regulations will result in punishment in accord with the offense. Community Resources: YVCC students with questions and concerns relating to alcohol or drug problems are encouraged to contact the YVCC Counseling Center. The following community resources are available to provide Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

help with drug or alcohol problems: Alcohol and Drug Help Line: 1.800.562.1240; Alcoholics Anonymous: 509.453.7680 (Yakima), 509.837.5801 (Lower Valley), and 509.649.3133 (Cle Elum). A complete list of community alcohol and drug treatment facilities can be found in the yellow pages of the telephone directory listed under "Alcoholism Information and Treatment" and "Drug Abuse Information and Treatment."

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are designed to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. As a recipient of such funds, YVCC is bound to ADA guidelines. Specifically, no student shall, on the basis of her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination under any college policies, programs, or activities.

Student Identifier Numbers The Washington State Legislature 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 is required whenever students access the YVCC website or when they request services on campus. The SID will also appear on class rosters and other college documents and records. The SSN is not 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 the Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579, Section 7). 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 and 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.

THE COLLEGE Learning Options Summer Quarter The college offers a variety of academic, professional/ technical, and community service classes during the summer. Community input on course selections that represent the greatest community need is welcomed. Please contact the Arts & Sciences Division or the Workforce Education Division for further information.

Evening and Weekend Classes Yakima Valley Community College offers the opportunity for individuals with commitments during the daytime hours to participate in extended degree and certification programs in the evening and on weekends. Additionally, evening and weekend courses offer the opportunity to update or acquire new skills in a variety of employment fields. Community service classes, offered as noncredit, and activities which pertain to special interests and community needs are offered and are financed on a self-support basis.

eLearning Yakima Valley Community College offers credit courses through various modes of eLearning. 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 (ITV), courses require students to attend class on specific days and times and provide the opportunity to have class with students at other sites. ITV courses may also require use of the computer and Internet to increase interaction between students and the instructor. eLearning courses may have lab fees. Students in these courses may be required to attend an orientation session on campus at the beginning of the term, and 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. eLearning course offerings vary each quarter. Check the class schedule. Students can search by online only or by campus, Yakima or Grandview. For more information on eLearning, please call the eLearning Office at the phone number listed in the front of this catalog or visit www.yvcc.edu/eLearning.

Learning Communities and Integrated Learning A learning community 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. Get to know your instructors. Depending on the number of classes linked, students will have more contact with their instructors, as many learning communities 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, pick a major, or launch a career. More time with like-minded, supportive students. Very often, the students in learning communities 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. Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

ADMISSION Running Start The Running Start Program is a partnership between YVCC 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 college-level English and MATH 085 on the YVCC placement test. Students are responsible for their own transportation, college fees, and textbooks. For more information or an application, visit our website (see directory) or talk with a high school counselor.

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 16, academic as well as emotional maturity are of particular concern; however, the college does recognize that there are certain circumstances when an underage applicant would benefit from college-level coursework. 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. l

l l

Any applicant not qualifying for admission through regular admissions procedures or qualifying for an established program must request to be admitted under the special admissions procedures. The request must be approved by the Admissions Committee. Students admitted under the special admissions procedure: w Will be admitted on a course-by-course basis. w 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, whichever is later. w Must have an advisor's approval before adding or dropping a course. Any student who has received probation, suspension, or dismissal status on YVCC transcripts will not be admitted under special admissions.

How to Request Admittance under Special Admissions Submit all items together in one application packet. 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.

Depending on the course, the student may be required to complete the COMPASS test to demonstrate competence and the ability to benefit from collegelevel coursework. Once the application has been reviewed, the student will be contacted if the COMPASS test is required. A personal interview with the Admissions Committee may be requested at the discretion of the committee.

Veterans’ Status

Selected academic programs of study at YVCC 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 Veterans’ Affairs will pay educational benefits to eligible students enrolled in approved programs. Students should contact the Veterans’ 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. 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 Veterans’ Office All students receiving veterans’ 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 changes, such as program, credit load, address correction, or any other change that may affect their VA status. Students must contact the Veterans’ Office after registering each quarter. Deployed veterans returning to YVCC within one year after returning from deployment do not need to reapply for admissions. Students must provide the Veterans Affairs Office with a copy of their orders. For additional information and assistance, contact the Veterans’ Affairs Office. Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

REGISTRATION

New students working toward a degree or certificate are given a date for orientation and registration after 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, all students 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 YVCC 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 assigned registration dates listed in the important dates 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 firstcome, first-served basis. Summer school attendance does not ensure admittance to fall quarter. Separate application must be made.

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 www.yvcc.edu, click "Online Services," then "Register, add or drop classes.") 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 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 or diplomas be released until debts are cleared. The Registration and Records Office requires 24 hours to process the release of a block on student records.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

REGISTRATION Changes to Registration 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 studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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.

Waitlist

Students whose class is closed may place themselves on the waitlist. This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee a spot, but if one comes open, the first on the waitlist will get it. Students may place themselves on only four waitlists. Students cannot register for one section and place themselves on a waitlist for a different section of the same class. Also, due to high enrollment, students cannot register for different sections of the same course in the same quarter. The Registration Office edits for these occurrences and will remove students from a second class section. Placing yourself on a waitlist does not count as registered credit. If students receive funding based on a specific number of credits, the students must register in that number of credits before funding will pay tuition. If students are not registered in the correct number of credits, they will be dropped from classes. As openings occur, students will be automatically registered into classes according to their placement on the waitlist until the Wednesday before the quarter begins. Students will receive a new class schedule in the mail as they are registered from a waitlist. On the Wednesday before the quarter begins, automatic registration of students on waitlists will stop. Students must attend the first class meeting to be considered for enrollment. Faculty members will make the decision whether or not to sign in students regardless of their status on the waitlist. It will be up to faculty members to decide if students may register in the class regardless of their position on the waitlist.

Helpful Hints l

Remove yourself from waitlists you no longer want; otherwise, you will be automatically registered for the waitlist class. Use online services at www.yvcc.edu to check your status or to remove yourself from waitlists, or you can see registration staff at the Yakima or Grandview campuses. If the class is still closed on the first day of the quarter, choose another class. Most instructors will not sign students into a closed class. If you choose to seek a signature to enroll, you must be in the class the first day it meets. There is no guarantee that the instructor will sign you into the class.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

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) financially dependent upon parents or legal guardians, one or both of whom maintain a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;domicileâ&#x20AC;? denotes a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 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 he possesses a valid outof-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.

Active Duty Military and National Guard Active duty military personnel stationed in Washington and their spouses and dependents are considered residents for tuition and fee-paying purposes. Active duty Washington National Guard members are considered residents for tuition and feepaying 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 fulltime students pay a $10 complete withdrawal fee. Students who withdraw from college in accordance with withdrawal regulations are entitled to the following refund: l l

One hundred percent refund for classes canceled or changed by the college. One hundred percent refund (less complete withdrawal fee) for complete withdrawal prior to, and through, the 5th day of classes (4th day of classes for summer quarter). Fifty percent refund (less complete withdrawal fee) for complete withdrawal after the 5th day of classes and through the 20th calendar day after the start of classes (5th through the 14th day for summer quarter).

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: l Grants, which are usually not repaid. l Loans, which are usually deferred while the student is in school, but which must be repaid. l Student employment, for which the student is paid monthly. Yakima Valley Community College participates in the following need-based programs: l Federal Pell Grant, a federal grant program. The student must enroll for at least one credit per quarter. l Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, a federal grant program. The student must enroll for at least one credit per quarter. l Washington State Need Grant, a state grant program. The student must be a Washington State resident and be enrolled in at least three credits per quarter. l YVCC Tuition Waiver, a state waiver of tuition, and YVCC Grant, a state grant. The student must be a Washington State resident and be enrolled in at least three credits per quarter. l William D. Ford Federal Direct Subsidized Loan, which is funded by the U.S. Treasury. Subsidized loans do not accrue interest while the student is enrolled in school. The student must be enrolled in at least six credits. l Work-study, federal or state-funded student employment programs. Jobs may be on- or offcampus with payment on a monthly basis. During the summer, a limited number of positions may be available for continuing students who are not attending summer classes. l 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 at the phone numbers in the front of this catalog for current programs and requirements. 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. First-year, first-time 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 l

William D. Ford Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, which is a loan not based on financial need. Unsubsidized loans accrue interest while the student is in school; borrowers have the option to pay the interest as it accrues. The student must be enrolled in at least six credits.

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

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

FINANCIAL AID Application Procedure

To apply for the federal and state financial aid programs available at the college, the student applicant must: 1. 2. 3.

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. Apply for admission to the college. Provide any other required documents as requested by the YVCC Financial Aid Office. Documents are due two weeks after the request date.

Financial aid applicants must reapply each year. A supplemental request form is available every spring quarter for students who wish to request aid for summer quarter.

Need Determination All financial aid at YVCC 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 YVCC. 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 grants 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.

Additional Requirements Once a student receives financial aid funding, there are several additional requirements: l l

l l

Use all financial aid funds only for expenses related to attendance at YVCC. Students must keep the Financial Aid Office advised of any changes in enrollment status and changes in their programs of study. Financial aid funding is usually not available for more than one change of major. Students receiving financial aid must enroll in courses that apply directly to their course of study. Students who are considering a 100% withdrawal from classes must speak to someone in the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing in order to be advised of potential repayment of aid and cancellation of future disbursements. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress in their programs or majors. Each quarter, all the courses for which a student is funded must be completed, and the student must earn at least a 2.0 (C) grade point average to maintain satisfactory progress.

Direct Loan Program enrollment certifications are based on 1 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. Students receiving a Federal Direct Loan must complete both entrance and exit counseling online sessions in order to participate in this loan program.

Funding for More than One Degree or Certificate After a student has completed a degree or certificate program, YVCC will not provide financial aid for a second degree or certificate until three quarters have elapsed from the date of the certificate completion or until six quarters have elapsed from the date of the degree completion. Individuals needing additional information on student financial aid programs may contact the Financial Aid Office at the phone number listed in the front of this catalog or visit www.yvcc.edu/financialaid.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Conditions Satisfactory Progress To maintain satisfactory academic progress, a student must complete all attempted credits,* earn at least a 2.0 quarterly GPA (C average), and meet YVCC's college-wide academic progress standards. * The number of credits you had on the first day of the quarter or on the day your aid was processed, whichever was later. Students who successfully completed less than 100% of attempted credits, but at least 12 credits, are considered to have met satisfactory progress for financial aid purposes. If you do not complete all attempted credits or earn less than a 2.0 quarterly GPA, you risk losing your eligibility. Complete details of the current YVCC satisfactory academic progress policy, including definitions of warning, suspension, and dismissal status; examples of the policy; and how to regain eligibility if your aid is suspended are available online at www.yvcc.edu/ financialaid or in printed format at the YVCC Financial Aid Office.

FINANCIAL AID

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

Washington State Need Grant Program

Noncompletion

Conditions of Award

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.

If you receive this grant, there are five special conditions, listed below, with which you must comply. If you have questions or find that you cannot comply with these conditions, please see the financial aid administrator at the institution you are attending.

Unacceptable Grades

Student Loan Applicants A student loan request cannot be processed for you if you are on suspension or dismissal.

Declaration of a Major Program of Study After attempting 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. Your financial aid will not be released until this requirement is met.

Degree Completion Time Limits

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 example, 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 required to submit a request for an extension of financial aid eligibility. 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. To request financial aid for a second change of major, you must submit your request in writing . A second change also requires a statement from your advisor, counselor, or department head. After 92 credits attempted, you must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and must demonstrate that you are making progress toward your degree or you are not eligible for financial aid.

You do not owe a refund or repayment on a State Need Grant, a Pell Grant, or a Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, nor are you in default on a loan made, insured, or guaranteed under the Perkins, Federal Direct, or Federal Family Education Loan programs. In addition, you are not in default on a loan made through a state conditional loan or conditional scholarship program. This grant is awarded to assist in meeting your educational expenses and should you withdraw from classes, repayment of all or a part of the grant may be required. You can choose to voluntarily make financial contributions to the Higher Education Coordinating Board in recognition of this State Need Grant. All voluntary contributions will be used to provide financial assistance to other students. The offer of a State Need Grant is subject to and conditioned upon the availability of funds. The Higher Education Coordinating Board and the institution through which the grant is awarded reserve the right to withdraw, reduce, or modify the grant due to funding limitations or due to changes in circumstances which affect your eligibility for the State Need Grant. You are not pursuing a degree in theology.

Refunds 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 that program. Students receiving only institutional financial aid will have tuition and fees refunded according to the official college refund policy. Contact the Financial Aid Office at the phone number listed in the front of this catalog for details.

The Code

The document, The Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, is available in the Enrollment Services Office on the Yakima Campus and in the Student Services Office at Grandview Campus. 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 the 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: l l l

Student must resubmit the assignment after instruction, but before an agreedupon due date. Student can receive a lowered grade on the assignment, including F. 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.

Honors Program

Over the past two years, YVCC faculty members in the Arts & Sciences Division have been developing an Honors Program for our college. The central goal of honors education is academic enrichment. The ways to this goal are defined by the specific institutional context, the faculty teaching in the program, and the needs of the particular students. In general, honors programs are based on the belief that highly motivated and academically excellent students profit from close contact with faculty, small courses, seminars or one-on-one instruction, coursework shared with other superior students, individual research projects, internships, foreign study, and campus or community service. YVCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Honors Program will create opportunities across diverse disciplines for intellectually motivated students to challenge themselves. Some components of the Honors Program have been drafted, including

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

PROGRAMS & SERVICES eligibility requirements and criteria for honors-level work. Others are still under development. To date, the Arts & Sciences curriculum committee has supported the development of an Honors Program and has endorsed the criteria for honors-level work. Faculty will fine-tune and revise the program as needed throughout the 2011-2012 academic year. A wide range of honors opportunities will be planned for fall 2012. Students who would enjoy the challenges provided by an Honors program will be asked to: l Complete an application based on their proficiency in college-level math and writing, grade point average, and statement of intent; l Negotiate an honors contract, with an honors instructor, which will establish the agreed upon terms for earning honors credit. Note that, as a community college, YVCC serves a diverse student body. The Honors Program recognizes this diversity and allows for faculty to sponsor promising students who may not meet all of the eligibility requirements. For more information, contact Dr. Heidi Shaw at hshaw@yvcc.edu or 574.4812.

ACADEMIC RULES

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 well-being 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. 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. Specific details of the financial aid satisfactory progress requirements are available online at www.yvcc.edu/financialaid or in printed format at the Financial Aid Office. Students may not always be able to maintain these academic standards, so the college provides the following rules, supports, and procedures: Determining an Academic Plan All new degree-seeking students must establish that they are prepared to succeed in their chosen educational program. Upon completion of 30 college-level credits, students who have not declared a program or major area of study will be required to meet with their advisor to prepare a degree audit and declare a major. Commitment to Academic Goals 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 student's course schedule and to better support timely program completion. Students will receive a postcard reminding them to apply for graduation. Academic Probation Students will be placed on academic probation when their GPA falls below the minimum standard of 2.00. The assignment of 10 or more credits of V grades in any quarter results in the student being placed on academic probation. 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 their advisor and complete a degree audit as a condition of re-enrollment. Students will be blocked from registration until evidence of their degree audit is submitted to the Registration Office. 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 degree audit is submitted to the Registration Office.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

ACADEMIC RULES

Academic Renewal Policy

In order to encourage students who may not have been successful during their previous college work, YVCC 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 2.0 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.

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 college-sponsored activities or necessitated by sickness or other personal emergency, relieve the student of responsibility for work assigned for the class during an absence. The student is responsible for arranging makeup work with instructors. Faculty members may submit an administrative withdrawal whenever a student misses two consecutive class sessions and does not contact the instructor. No refund is given after the first week of the quarter. 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. Students must be officially enrolled in a course to attend class.

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; 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

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

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. YVCC 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: l l

The right to inspect and review the student’s education records. The right to request the amendment of any of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. 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. 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.

More detailed information about each of these rights is contained in the YVCC Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. For more information on these rights, contact the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or visit this U.S. Department of Education website, www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/index.html.

ACADEMIC RULES 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:

New England Association of Schools Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Western Association of Schools and Colleges

Students who wish to transfer credit from international institutions must have their international transcripts evaluated through the AACRAO International Education Services. Contact the International Students Program Office or the Admissions 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 YVCC 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.

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. Grades can be obtained by any of the following means: l Use the student Online Services Center in the Registration and Records Office or the Hopf Student Union Building. l Go to the YVCC Internet address at www.yvcc.edu, click "Online Services," and then click "Unofficial Transcript." l Visit the Registration and Records Office, show photo ID, and obtain an unofficial copy of the transcript. l Write the Registration and Records Office and request a copy. Include signature, student identification number, and mailing address.

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 or 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.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

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 remaining work within five weeks of the following term if the student is registered or, if the student is not registered, within one calendar year. 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 Grade Card indicating what work is to be completed. The Incomplete Grade Card also requires the instructor to provide the grade a student should receive if the work is not completed within one year. I grades are not included in the GPA calculation.

ACADEMIC RULES 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. 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 YVCC 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 YVCC High-Demand Course Repeat Rule will not be used in GPA computations and will not appear on the student's transcript. 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. Instructor permission required. 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 notify 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 after the first week of the quarter. 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 YVCC 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 studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

ACADEMIC RULES 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. Exemptions The YVCC High Demand Course Repeat Rule does not apply to the following courses: l l l l l

Courses with numbers below 100 (e.g., ENGL 090T) Foreign language classes Studio art, metalsmithing, design, and painting classes Non-high demand courses (as defined by departments) Courses designed to be repeated, for example: performance courses (e.g., music, physical education), seminar courses where content changes quarter to quarter, Math Center and Writing Center courses, or 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.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

Honor Roll

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: l l

A quarterly grade point average of 3.85 or higher. 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: l l

A quarterly grade point average of 3.40 to 3.84. 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. 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 . Part-time students need to notify the Registration and Records Office each time they qualify.

ACADEMIC RULES Non-Traditional Credit 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 self-initiative 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 studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 case-by-case basis.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

ACADEMIC RULES College Level Examination Program 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 YVCC when satisfactory performance levels are reached. CLEP tests are available in over 50 college subjects. YVCC accepts CLEP as follows: l Examinations are accepted for credit equivalent to not more than one introductory course offering of five credits or less for each examination completed successfully, with the exception of level 2 language examinations for which 10 credits are granted. l Examination scores must be at the 50th percentile or greater.

Course Challenge Process 1. 2.

3. 4.

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. l

Students may only challenge a course or courses for which they have not received college credit at any accredited institution. 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. The student should review degree requirements in this catalog to determine limits on using courses with S grades. Credits earned by the challenge process do not count toward the residency requirement. See â&#x20AC;&#x153;Degree Requirementsâ&#x20AC;? in this catalog. The course being challenged must be offered during the quarter in which it is being challenged unless otherwise specified by the department.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

Department faculty will determine which, if any, of their courses may be challenged. Any full-time YVCC instructor, 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. A course may be challenged only once. Challenge examinations must be given prior to the day grades are due each quarter. 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.

5. 6.

Obtain a course challenge form from the Registration and Records Office. 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. Pay the cashier a nonrefundable, $25.00 per credit examination and transcription fee. 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. Proceed to the dean of the department for an approval signature. 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.

ACADEMIC RULES Tech Prep Yakima Valley Community College and the Yakima Valley Tech Prep consortium are pleased to offer direct transcription. We are one of 28 community and technical colleges across the state that has entered into this arrangement with local high schools. Tech Prep students remain enrolled in their high school. When enrolled in a Tech Prep articulated class, students in the class meet the same requirements as students who take the class at the college. At the end of the course, the high school teacher notifies the Tech Prep coordinator at the college of all students who passed the class with a grade of B or higher. Credit is not available to students who earn below a B. In order to receive direct transcription credit for Tech Prep coursework, students must submit a registration form for the classes they have successfully completed. There is no charge for direct transcription credits. For more information, including a current list of articulated classes, please call the Tech Prep coordinator at the phone number listed in the front of this catalog.

Transcript Procedure 1. 2.

4. 5.

The applying student must have an existing YVCC transcript. 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 transcript in lieu of repeating the training in the equivalent YVCC class. The department/advisory committee evaluates comparable coursework. 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. If the dean approves, the form is sent to the Registration and Records Office. The Registration and Records Office enters the equivalent YVCC class on the student's transcript with an S grade.

Prior Experiential Learning Yakima Valley Community College awards college credit for Advanced Placement, DSST, USAFI, CLEP, and International Baccalaureate examinations. Credits are also awarded through Course Challenge and Technical Preparation classes. Policies and procedures are in place regarding how Prior Experiential Learning (PEL) credit will be awarded. Qualified faculty approves the appropriate course placement. No more than 45 credits of (PEL) credit will be awarded. Credit will be awarded after the students completes one quarter at YVCC and only for courses within the institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular curricular offerings.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

DEGREES

General Education Requirements: In order to meet general requirements, all candidates for degrees from Yakima Valley Community College must have: A minimum of 90 quarter credits; some professional/technical degrees require more. A cumulative college-level grade point average of 2.0 or higher at YVCC 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 Registrar & Director of Enrollment Services, in consultation with the Dean of Student Services, will review the petition. The student will receive written notification of the decision.

YVCC Student Learning Outcomes The college faculty recognizes two institutional student learning outcomes, Critical Thinking and Communications, that are integral to the mission of YVCC. The faculty continues to consider these outcomes and how they apply across the divisions.

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 two fundamental abilities essential to lifelong learning that are assessed in courses across the degree. l l

Analytical Reasoning is the ability to consider an issue, idea, or concept systematically and assess the component parts and their application. Communication includes the delivery and reception of ideas.

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

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 industry-wide skills standards.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

DEGREES

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 coursework numbered 100 and above, whether or not the coursework 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 Grade Point Averages (GPA). 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 GPA of 3.40 to 3.84. For the high honors designation, students must earn a 3.85 or higher cumulative GPA.

Reciprocity Agreement Washington community and technical colleges (CTCs) offer reciprocity to students who are transferring within the CTC system and are pursuing a Direct Transfer Agreement degree or the Associate in Science, Transfer 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 or 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

Met YVCC prerequisite, general education, and graduation requirements l Provided all necessary documentation to YVCC (a reciprocity agreement request form is located in the Registration Office). 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.

Transfer Credits Under the Reciprocity Agreement 1. 2.

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) 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.

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.

DEGREE INFORMATION

Transfer Degrees 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 InterCollege Relations Committee (ICRC) Handbook. The handbook is available at www.washingtoncouncil.org or in the YVCC Counseling and 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. YVCC offers an Associate in Science Transfer, Track 1 or Track 2 degree. Special advising is required.

Degrees Offered

The Associate in Arts DTA and the Associate in Business 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 ICRC transfer agreement and offer several options depending on the student's area of interest. Senior institutions in Washington that honor these agreements are listed below under â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transfer Information.â&#x20AC;? Associate in Arts DTA Associate in Arts DTA, Science Option Associate in Business DTA Associate in Science Transfer, Track 1 or 2 The Associate of Applied Science, Transfer degree is offered through the Workforce Education Division. For additional information, reference Professional/Technical Degrees and Certificates.

General Information

Students who plan to transfer from YVCC to another college or university should work closely with a faculty advisor and study the following information: l

l l

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. 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. 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. Courses numbered below 100 will not normally transfer to a baccalaureate institution.

Yakima Valley Community College, 2011-2012

TRANSFER DEGREES To complete the transfer process to a senior institution, students are advised to follow these procedures: 1.

2. 3. 4.

Review a current catalog of the institution to which they 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. Discuss with a YVCC counselor or advisor about transfer needs. Transfer guide sheets for senior institutions are available on most websites for specific colleges. Confer, either by letter or personal interview, with an admissions officer at the senior institution for information about curriculum and transfer regulations. 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 student’s major field of study or choice of senior institution may create transfer problems. Such changes should be made only after consultation with advisors.

Degree Application Procedures for Transfer 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. 2. 3. 4.

Obtain the appropriate degree application from the Registration and Records Office. Make an appointment with assigned advisor and complete all information requested on the application. Obtain necessary signatures. Take the completed application to the Cashier’s Office, pay the $10 graduation fee, and return the application marked “PAID” to the Registration and Records Office.

Senior Institutions 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 University 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 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 complete YVCC's requirements for associate degrees at another accredited institution of higher learning.

Students will be notified, in writing, if the degree application cannot be approved as submitted. To apply for a high school diploma (SHB 1758) by earning an associate degree, see “Pathways to a High School Diploma” section of the catalog.

TRANSFER DEGREES D. Elective (5 credits) Select an additional five credits from courses numbered 100 or above. Note: Many universities and colleges have computer course requirements for admission to the business major. See your advisor to determine if a computer course is recommended as the elective.

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 bachelor's degree in track 1 (biology, biochemistry, or chemistry) or track 2 (physics, engineering, or computer science [information technology]) 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& 151 (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 Transfer degree advisors.

Students 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 professional/technical areas is competencybased and has been developed to meet industry-wide skills standards. For specific degree requirements, please refer to the "General Education Requirements" 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.

PROGRAMS & COURSES

Prerequisites

This section of the catalog identifies what the specific prerequisites, if any, are for each course. Course prerequisites are requirements that students must meet before they can enroll in a particular course. Courses with prerequisites are identified by “PRQ” in the class schedule. A student must earn a grade of C (2.0) or higher in prerequisite courses, unless otherwise noted, or unless the student receives the department chair’s written approval for the class or program. Students are required to complete the prerequisites for a course before they can enroll in that class. As students register for classes, the system will check their student records for prerequisite requirements. If these requirements are found in the record, the student will be registered in the class, but if they are not found, the system will not allow registration for that course. For information about departmental policies regarding prerequisites, contact the appropriate dean’s office.

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 class schedule for specific course offerings.

Common Course Numbering Washington’s community and technical colleges want to make it easier for students to transfer credits among the state’s 34 community and technical colleges. YVCC has moved to a common course numbering system, which will mean that the same course will be titled and numbered in a similar way at every community and technical college in the state. There are a number of changes in course names and numbers for YVCC. The changes should help you know that a course you have taken at one Washington college is the same at another, and the course will transfer easily. Common courses are identified by an “&” following the department abbreviation. Transfer courses that are not identified as common will still transfer under the Direct Transfer Agreement as in the past. Please direct any questions to the Registrar in the Enrollment Services Office at the phone number listed in the front of this catalog.

Definitions and Codes

Co-requisite: Co-requisite courses are required courses that can be taken after being admitted to a program. Cross-disciplined courses: Courses in two different disciplines that have the same course description and credits. Credit cannot be given for both courses.

Education

112 Education The Education Department provides career and enrichment coursework 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 (ECE), School-Age Education, Reading, Special Education, Child Development Associate (CDA) prep coursework, and STARS training. Several programs of study are offered: Early Childhood Education; Education; Paraprofessional; and Early Childhood Education, ECE - Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studies, Special Education Instructional Assistant. Each program has different admission criteria, coursework, and degree options, ranging from inquiry/ introductory classes and field experiences to transfer degrees focused on teacher preparation and family life-related careers. The Early Childhood Education (ECED) program at YVCC 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. All training is based on the Washington State core competencies for early care and education professionals and NAEYC started (National Association for Education of Young Children). 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 successful completion of the program, the student will have demonstrated competency in the skill standards and Washington State competencies for early childhood professionals, school age professionals, or paraprofessionals. The students should be prepared for entry-level employment in the area for which the certificate or degree has been earned.

Careers Childcare, school-age care, preschool assistants, preschool 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. For more information on current employment trends, contact the Washington State Employment Security Department Job Service Center at 800.215.1617. Information is also available at the following websites: www.access.wa.gov or www.workforceexplorer.com.

132 English

The mission of the English Department is to help students develop the habits of writers, readers, and critical thinkers as well as 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 090T, Reviewing English Essentials I, to ENGL 102, English Composition II. Most transfer degrees require completion of ENGL& 101 and ENGL 102 with a C (2.0) or better. YVCC placement scores determine initial placement in composition courses. Since a solid foundation in reading, writing, and critical thinking is necessary for student success, students who place in ENGL 090T generally must complete ENGL 090T and 095 before entering ENGL& 101. 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.

English

Other English Courses In addition to the composition courses, YVCC offers a range of creative writing and literature survey courses, taught by the department’s writers and its literature experts. 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.

Prism, YVCC’s Literary Journal YVCC’s English Department publishes a literary journal, Prism, as part of a student literary journal class. ENGL 170/171 is offered as funding allows and earns Humanities distribution credit. YVCC students who create written or visual arts should talk to an English instructor about submitting their work to Prism for possible publication.

Writing Centers at YVCC To support student success in writing for any discipline, the English Department houses two writing centers, one on the Yakima Campus in Glenn Anthon in G125, and one on Grandview’s Campus in 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 projects. 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.

English Placement Policy Students are placed in the English sequence by YVCC testing. Those students placed in ENGL 090T and ENGL 095 earn grades of S, CR, or NC, with a few students continuing to earn an I, V, or W. Students in these courses 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 may not retest.

Ethnic Studies focuses on the historical and contemporary experiences of people of color in the United States, including Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic/Latin@s, and Asian Americans. Emphasis is placed on their achievements and contributions to American society as well as on their roles within the complex dynamics of racial and ethnic relations. Introductory ethnic studies courses are offered, as are more specialized courses focusing on one ethnic group or a specific topic. In addition, students of all levels are encouraged to pursue independent study and research under the guidance of the ethnic studies faculty. Ethnic studies courses provide new and different perspectives on American society, making them an appropriate and necessary addition to any course of study.

Certificates Ethnic Studies Certificate Appreciating and understanding the history and cultures of American ethnic-cultural minorities is integral to understanding our society. The Social Sciences Department offers a certificate program in ethnic studies with two curriculum program options designed to help students acquire this knowledge and these skills. Students who complete the ethnic studies certificate program at YVCC will acquire the academic foundation to transfer to and major in ethic studies at four-year colleges in Washington State or in other states. Many four-year colleges require some of these courses for graduation. Students can combine a certificate in ethnic studies with other YVCC programs such as chemical dependency, criminal justice, early childhood education, and nursing, to acquire added job-market qualifications. The certificate in ethnic studies will especially benefit students who aspire to paraprofessionals in community agencies serving ethnic minority populations in the Yakima Valley or in other communities. Students can choose either the general ethnic studies program option or one of the specialized options in either Chican@ studies or Native American studies. Ethnic Studies Option A minimum of eighteen (18) credits are required to complete this program option: ten (10) credits in the required core group and at least eight (8) credits from the recommended electives group.

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.

165

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 noncalculus-based, intended for nonscience 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 calculusbased physics requirement at a university.

Political Science

Political science is the study of government and public policy and of the political behavior of individuals and groups. Political science uses both humanistic and scientific methods of analysis to examine individual and group behaviors and outcomes at the local, state, national, and international levels of politics. (source: American Political Science Association) The political science program at YVCC offers most of the fundamental courses in the discipline that prepare students for a declared major or minor in political science at a four-year college or university. Political science courses at YVCC also contribute toward general education requirements necessary for a bachelor’s degree in any liberal arts discipline.

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 clinically-experienced, licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Facilities include small animal wards, and the horses are housed at an off-campus facility. Other privatelyowned, 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. Coursework will also cover various business aspects of veterinary practice such as client communications, medical record keeping, inventory control, computer technology, and veterinary ethics.
