We are committed to helping you enrich your life through learning and in deepening your appreciation of culture, of our place in history and of your broadened sense of responsibility as a full participant in a democratic society. You will find here a rigorous academic environment and a caring and dedicated faculty who will guide the development of your critical thinking and broaden your appreciation of the best that previous generations have bequeathed to us. They will also prepare you for whatever career field you choose or for transfer to a senior college or university where you will join many other SUNY Orange graduates who are among the bestprepared and highest achievers. I encourage you, too, to further enrich your college life by taking advantage of the many clubs on campus, to strive for admission to the Phi Theta Kappa honor society and the Honors Program, to hone your leadership potential as a member of the Student Senate and to take an active part in the myriad of projects organized and executed by students for the betterment of the communities we serve. Our counselors and advisors will assist you with any questions you may have about the College or our programs and services, about financial aid or scholarships, about child care services or any other issue which you think may be a barrier to continuing your education. I hope to be able to greet you soon at an orientation session for new students and to see you on campus from time to time. My sincerest wish for you, though, is that in the near future I have the honor of shaking your hand at graduation, recognizing your effort and commitment, and wishing you well in your well-earned and responsible place in society as an educated person. Very truly yours, President Message from the President 14 Orange County Community College Orange County, located in the mid-Hudson region, is one of the fastest-growing counties in New York State. Orange County Community College has touched the lives of countless numbers of the county's 350,000 residents through its credit programs, non-credit programming and cultural events. As the needs of the community grow, the college will continue to play a significant role in the county's endeavor to face the challenges and to profit from the opportunities that await it. Orange County Community College was founded in 1950 as the first countysponsored community college in the State University of New York system. Classes were originally opened to 160 students in the carriage house of a donated Middletown estate. Classes were offered in the estate mansion, Morrison Hall, in 1951. The college currently consists of 14 buildings on a 37-acre campus in Middletown and an Extension Center in the Key Bank Building in Newburgh. Credit and non-credit courses are also offered in Port Jervis, Warwick and Central Valley. The college has earned its reputation as a pioneer and innovator in meeting the needs of its students and the area it primarily serves. Orange County Community College was the first two-year college in the nation to offer the associate degree nursing program and studies in electron microscopy; and in 1982, the college was the first community college to plan and co-sponsor with local chambers of commerce a business institute. Accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, academic credits can be earned through full or part-time study in the day, evening, or both. The college offers three degrees�the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Applied Science. The college also offers extensive technical programs in career fields (with transfer options) and one-year certificates. Public and private four-year colleges actively seek our graduates for transfer into baccalaureate programs as third-year students. In cooperation with other educational agencies, the college also presents programs for academically-gifted high school seniors, for business and professional people, and by special arrangement with nearby universities for graduate students. More than 420,000 people have enrolled in a wide range of credit and non-credit classes at the Middletown campus, the Newburgh Extension Center and satellite locations across Orange County. Consistent with its mission to meet the higher education needs of students, the college is noted for its close student-faculty relationships and emphasis on advising and counseling. The Counseling and Guidance Center makes its full range of services (see page 159) available to all full and part-time students at no cost. The Center for Adult Lifelong Learning (C.A.L.L.), which provides counseling, testing, a lounge area and peer support among other services for the adult student, is typical of how the college seeks to serve the needs of students. In addition to offering formal instruction to students in both the day and evening, the college engages in a variety of other activities. It sponsors a series of lectures and artistic performances for the students, staff and faculty to which the public is invited. 15 The Campus Orange County Community College is located on beautiful and picturesque grounds landscaped with trees and flowers indigenous to the region. Many paths and walks criss-cross the 37-acre former estate. The campus originally consisted of two buildings. The mansion, called Morrison Hall in honor of its donors, now houses administrative and faculty offices. A magnificent example of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, Morrison Hall contains beautiful wood carving, mosaic work, stenciling, ornate marble fireplaces, and a large stained glass window designed by Louis Tiffany. Horton Hall, the former carriage house, now provides instructional space for chemistry and geology. Another eight buildings have been added over the years to complete the campus. Hudson Hall, Harriman Hall, and the Bio-Medical Technology buildings contain classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, and faculty offices. The Sarah Wells building houses faculty offices and child care services. Orange Hall contains a well-equipped theater as well as rehearsal rooms and performance space. The Learning Resource Center contains over 95,000 print and non-print resources, videotapes, computer software, and compact disc collections. The Learning Resource Center can comfortably accommodate 700 patrons. The College Commons houses a cafeteria and dining room which seats 750 people; the college bookstore; the counseling and guidance center offices; the offices of financial aid and job placement; the offices of admissions, registration and records, Student Accounts, and health services; student lounges and offices; the student activities office; student success center, and the office of the vice president for student development. The physical education facility contains six handball courts, a swimming pool, the main gymnasium (capacity 3,000), human performance lab, three classrooms, a rifle range, and an exercise room. Adjacent to the building are soccer and softball fields and tennis courts. Fifty general classrooms and lecture halls are available for instruction. Laboratories include 7 in biology, 3 each in chemistry and physics, 3 in medical laboratory technology, 3 each in electrical technology and architectural drafting, and laboratories for dental hygiene, occupational therapy assistant, physical therapist assistant, electron microscopy, nursing, criminal justice, radiologic technology, and instrumentation and computation. Art, music, theater, and office technology each have well-equipped instructional space. The learning resources center, writing and reading laboratories, geology lab, greenhouse, instructional media center, word-processing lab, and miniand micro-computer facilities in physical sciences and computer information systems complete the range of instructional space. Newburgh Extension Center The college serves many of the educational needs of the citizens of Eastern Orange County at its Extension Center in Newburgh. Located at One Washington Center, the Extension Center is equipped with 17 classrooms including four computer labs, two technology training labs, an English as a second language lab, reading center, writing center, Math lab, two science labs, a dining facility, and a breathtaking view of the Hudson River. There are a wide array of courses and services available at the Center. Over 100 course sections are offered each semester and "one-stop" registration provides students with the convenience of meeting with an academic advisor and completing the entire registration process on-site. Though students may complete many of their degree 16 requirements at the Center, they must complete some of the course work at the college�s Middletown campus. There is a daytime shuttle bus service available between the Middletown and Newburgh campuses during the fall and spring semesters. The Continuing & Professional Education Department offers a variety of non-credit courses at the Newburgh Extension Center, including business training, personal enrichment, personal & professional development and workforce preparation classes. Computer training classes, the non-credit Administrative Medical Office Program and our English-As-A-Second Language (ESL) course offerings are among the most popular. Persons age 60+ can enroll in the Over Sixties Program, which allows them to take credit classes free of charge. A coordinator is available to help students determine which course best meets their needs and interests. The Extension Center is the home to the Center for Youth Development which provides services for youth attending the Newburgh Enlarged City School District. The Liberty Partnerships Program, funded through the New York State Education Department, offers academic support services, counseling, workforce preparation, mentoring, cultural enrichment and parental involvement activities to junior and high school youth.

An applicant who plans to take the Regents College Examination (RCE) in Fundamentals of Nursing or Maternal and Child Nursing�Baccalaureate Level, should notify the Admissions Office and the Nursing Department of this intent. The Nursing Department requires official transcripts of prior theoretical and clinical preparation, i.e., Licensed Practical Nursing, before credit will be awarded on the basis of the examination score. In addition to a score of 50 in the Fundamentals of Nursing RCE, successful completion of Fundamentals of Nursing II at Orange is required for the awarding of credit for Fundamentals of Nursing I by Regents College Examination. This rule applies also to Nursing III and IV. This option is unavailable to students who have earned an unsatisfactory grade in Fundamentals of Nursing I or Maternal and Child Health Nursing at Orange. The Nursing Department policy is available upon request. Multiple Associate Degrees A matriculated student may earn multiple degrees at SUNY Orange when the following conditions are met: 1) the areas in which the degrees are earned are determined to be separate and distinct by relevant department chairpersons and approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs; 2) a minimum of 15 credits not required nor applied to the first degree are completed at Orange. A student may earn multiple AS degrees, or multiple AAS degrees, or an AA and AS. Only one AA degree may be awarded; however, because of its distinct and separate nature from other programs, the AA in International Studies may be awarded as a second AA degree. General education courses with a grade of D- or better from the first degree apply toward the additional degree. Effective Fall 1992, grades from courses transferred from the first degree are applied to the additional degree and are included in the cumulative grade point average. Grades from transfer courses are not calculated in the cumulative grade point average. Students enrolled in an additional degree program prior to Fall 1992 may petition the Vice President for Academic Affairs for permission to apply grades from the first degree to the current degree. As many additional associate degrees as desired may be earned; however, students are encouraged to discuss career and transfer options with advisors or counselors before matriculating for an additional associate's degree. Veterans The Office of Veterans Affairs assists veterans, reservists, and dependents in three ways: 1) assistance is provided in obtaining and completing applications for educational benefits and submitting them to the Veterans Administration; 2) the student�s enrollment is certified for each semester of attendance at SUNY Orange; and 3) inquiries are placed with the V.A. for those students awaiting resolution of problems. The Office of Veterans Affairs is located in the Counseling Center, third floor, College Commons, (845) 341-4071. 32 Admissions Procedures 33 Admissions Procedures Orange County Community College is a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC). As a member, the college grants up to 45 credits to active duty service personnel in order to facilitate their completion of a degree. Credit may be granted for college courses completed at regionally accredited institutions, military courses, and military occupational specialties. The American Council on Education (ACE) guide is referred to when credit determinations are made for military courses and experiences. Please note, however, that certain conditions may limit the awarding of credit regardless of the recommendations of the ACE guide. First, credit is awarded only if it fulfills a degree requirement. Second, Health Professions programs reserve the right to make individual judgments on a student's military courses/experiences. The college follows similar criteria when evaluating military courses and experiences for non-active duty service personnel except a maximum of 30 credits is accepted from all sources. National Guard members or Reservists who are actively attending drills, or Veterans who have completed basic training in the U.S. Armed Forces within the past 10 years, can submit documentation to be considered for physical education credit waiver. All students who wish to receive credit for military courses or experiences must have an official transcript sent directly to the Records and Registration Office. Information on how to obtain these transcripts may be obtained from your Education Officer, the VA representative at the college, or the transfer credit evaluator at the college. *Tuition, Fees, and Other Expenses Tuition* New York State residents: (per semester) Full-time students (12 or more credits/units) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1450.00 Part-time students (per credit hour/unit) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 120.00 Out-of-state and foreign residents: (per semester) Full-time students (12 or more credits/units) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2900.00 Part-time students (per credit hour/unit) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 240.00 Advance deposit (non-refundable) for Dental Hygiene, Massage Therapy, Med Lab Tech, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Asst, Physical Therapist Asst, Radiologic Technology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 College Fees* Admission application fee (non-refundable). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30.00 Readmission application (non-refundable). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20.00 Insurance fee: (contact Health Services for coverage details) for full-time students, per semester (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00 for part-time students, per semester (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 Technology fee: for full-time students, per semester (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100.00 for part-time students, per semester (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60.00 Graduation fee. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35.00 Tutorial Fee** . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30.00 Assessment Fee*** (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25.00 Fees for Special Services Late Registration Fees: Full-time students. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25.00 Part-time students, per course . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00 with maximum of $25.00 Transcript fee, each . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 Withdrawal from course or section after registration, each . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 Malpractice insurance (Dental Hygiene, Massage Therapy, Med Lab Tech, Nursing, Occupational Therapy Asst, Physical Therapist Asst, Radiologic Technology) per semester (non-refundable). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.50 Laboratory fee, per applicable course (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20.00 Distance Learning fee, per applicable course (non-refundable) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Returned check fee, per check . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25.00 Foreign check handling fee, per check plus any additional bank fees. . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00 Pre-Licensure Diagnostic Test . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40.00 Student Activity/Athletic Fees (per semester) 1-11.5 credit/unit, cost per credit hour . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.00 12 plus credit/unit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Evening credit course, cost per credit hour . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 Weekend credit course, cost per credit hour . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 *Tuition and fees are correct as of this catalog�s publication date (May 2005).

Title IV Federal Refund Policy Title IV Federal Financial Aid students who withdraw or stop attending the college during the first 60% of the semester have their financial aid recalculated according to the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, 34 CFR part 668.22. Some grant recipients may owe repayment to both the institution and the Federal government as the result of this recalculation. Certificate of Residence All students are charged the appropriate rate of tuition and fees depending on the number of credits taken and the student's area of residence. A resident is a person who has resided in New York State for a period of at least one year and in the county for a period of at least six months, both immediately preceding first day of class. Students attending Orange County Community College must submit proof of residence along with payment to the Bursar's Office at the time of registration. Please follow the instructions listed below. The application for Certificate of Residence can be obtained from the Bursar's Office or the Admissions Office. It is also included in all registration materials. 1. Orange County Residents: Complete Application for Certificate of Residence, have it notarized and submit the completed form to the college at registration by mail or in person. Submission of an Application for Certificate of Residence will be required only once during a student's attendance at the college provided he resides in Orange County and his legal residence has been continuous and unchanged. A new application must accompany all address changes within Orange County. 2. New York State Residents from counties other than Orange County: Complete Application for Certificate of Residence and turn it in to your County Treasurer. You will receive a Certificate of Residence from the treasurer which will be valid 37 Tuition, Fees & Other Expenses for one year from the date of issue. Submit this form to the college at registration by mail or in person. Unless filed, students will be charged out-of-state tuition. 3. New York State residents who have lived in more than one county during the past 6 months must complete an Application for Certificate of Residence for each county in which they have resided and proceed as indicated in (1) and (2) of these instructions. 4. Non-residents of New York State (living less than one year in the State) are charged out-of-state tuition and do not need to submit proof of residence at registration. 5. All foreign students who have not held a permanent resident alien card for one year are classified as out-of-state residents and are charged the out-of-state tuition rate. (See �Tuition and Fees�.) 6. Active duty service members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their dependents may be waived from the residency requirement by submitting PCS orders to the Bursar�s Office, third floor, College Commons. Withdrawal from Course To formally withdraw from a credit or non-credit course, a student must complete a withdrawal form and return it to the Records and Registration office. As of the day of receipt of this form, the appropriate refund schedule will apply. Students who receive financial aid from any of the following sources: Federal Programs (Title IV)-Pell Grant, Supplemental Equal Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Perkins Loan, Federal Family Education Loans and State Grants may be responsible for repaying a portion of their aid if they drop or stop attending classes during the refund period. Withdrawal from classes may also effect eligibility for Financial Aid for the following semester or academic year. Students will be notified by mail if monies are due the college. Stop/Holds Students who have unmet financial obligations or who have failed to comply with college requirements are not permitted to register, receive grades, or attend class until the stop/hold is cleared with the issuing office. Further, information relating to student records such as certification of attendance or grades is also withheld. Early Registration for Students Enrolled matriculated students are encouraged to early register for the next semester. Registration during designated periods (see Academic Calendar) will aid students in obtaining seats in desired classes. Financial Aid A variety of financial aid programs are available to Orange County Community College students. Eligibility for these programs depends on the student's academic progress, family income, and assets. Due to the length of processing time, all applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible for financial aid. Do not wait to be formally accepted at SUNY Orange before applying for aid. Assistance and information are available at the Financial Aid Office, third floor, College Commons. An appointment may be arranged by calling (845) 341-4190.

A student must be an American citizen or a permanent resident alien. A student must meet the minimum academic criteria specified for each financial aid program. See Academic Progress in this section. A student must not be in default of any prior student loan or owe monies to the Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, or Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The personal financial status of the student must be determined with respect to the following criteria governing financial independence. For federal financial aid programs, an applicant must meet one of the following conditions in order to be considered independent for the 2005-2006 academic year: 1. Were you born before January 1, 1982? 2. Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces? 3. Are you married? 4. Are you an orphan or a ward of the court, or were you a ward of the court until age 18? 5.

All students who complete either a Certificate Program or an Associates Degree who return to pursue another degree will be placed on the chart based upon prior SUNY Orange coursework applicable to their new program. Students who do not complete their Certificate or Associate Degree requirements within the maximum time frame stated above, lose eligibility for Federal Aid (see Appeal Process/Reinstatement of Federal Aid Eligibility). 41 Financial Aid *Total credits attempted is defined as all credits attempted at Orange after the drop/add period - including developmental credits, withdrawals, repeated coursework, P.E.'s, holds, incompletes, failed courses, medical withdrawals, and any transfer credits accepted toward your degree. **Minimum credits accumulated is defined as all credits passed at Orange including developmental credits and P.E.'s and any transfer credits accepted toward your degree. ***Developmental coursework, P.E.'s, and accepted transfer credits are not calculated in the CQPA. APPEAL PROCESS/REINSTATEMENT OF FEDERAL AID ELIGIBILITY Students may be granted TWO exceptions to the above policy based on mitigating circumstances. A. Student must complete the Request for Appeal of Satisfactory Progress Form detailing the mitigating circumstances. *B. Students should submit documentation (doctor's note, police report, social services report, obituary, etc.) with their request. C. All students will be notified in writing if a waiver has been granted or denied. *lack of written documentation greatly reduces the chances that your waiver will be granted; however, you may appeal without documentation. We encourage students who are denied an appeal or students who choose not to submit an appeal by the review date to enroll without receiving the benefit of financial aid. These students can be reviewed again at their request. If the student now meets the Academic Progress Policy based upon the additional course work taken, financial aid eligibility will be reinstated for the following term. NOTE: The above appeal process pertains only to students seeking to regain financial aid eligibility. If eligibility is reinstated, students should not assume that academic status or grades will be changed. Students should contact the Director of Academic Services regarding request for medical withdrawal or possible errors on the transcript. III. Financial Aid Programs: Federal Pell Grant, TAP Federal Pell Grant The Federal Pell Grant provides grants ranging from *$400 to $4,050 a year to all eligible applicants. Students should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov after January 1 and prior to September registration listing Orange as one of the colleges (code #002876). The Financial Aid Office will receive the FAFSA information electronically in the form of an Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) which will be used to determine eligibility for all Federal Aid. The student must be enrolled at the time that the ISIR is received at the Office of Financial Aid. Although the Federal Government allows the FAFSA to be filed by June 30, 2006, the receipt of a valid result must be on file by the student�s last day of class. * Subject to change. 42 Financial Aid/TAP The FAFSA is available at local high schools or the college�s Financial Aid office. The website to use for Federal aid is www.fafsa.ed.gov. There is no fee for processing this form. For students required to take developmental courses, Federal Aid funds will only pay for 30 credits attempted of developmental study. Students holding baccalaureate degrees are ineligible for the Federal Pell Grant, but must file the FAFSA to receive other aid consideration. *New York State: Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) New York State residents who are full-time students (12 credits or more) may be eligible for TAP grants depending upon their families' New York State net taxable income. The deadline for the 2005-2006 academic year is May 1, 2006. Students applying for TAP must file a Free Application For Federal Student Aid at www.fafsa.ed.gov in order to do TAP-on-the-Web or receive a pre-printed application from NYSHESC. The New York State Financial Aid web site is www.hesc.com. Students must be enrolled in programs approved by the New York State Education Department for full-time study in order to receive TAP. In order to receive credit under TAP, a student must be matriculated and registered for 12 credits or more. AUDITED and repeats of previously PASSED course work that is/are part of a student's credit enrollment can result in INELIGIBILITY of Federal and/or State Aid programs. *New York State Aid Program Requirements are subject to change. PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSEWORK (P.E.) Financial Aid can only pay for 2 credits of passed coursework taken. SATISFACTORY PROGRESS STANDARDS FOR STATE AID PROGRAMS � (TAP) Before being certified for a specific TAP payment, a student must have accrued a minimum number of credits towards their degree while maintaining a minimum Cumulative Quality Point Average (CQPA). A student must also complete (PASS or FAIL) a certain amount of credits during the semester they receive TAP. 43 BEFORE BEING CERTIFIED FOR THIS TAP PAYMENT: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th *YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED 0 6 6 9 9 12 (PASSED OR FAILED) THIS MANY CREDITS SINCE YOUR LAST TAP PAYMENT YOU MUST HAVE ACCRUED AT 0 3 9 18 30 45 LEAST THIS MANY CREDITS TOWARDS YOUR DEGREE WITH AT LEAST THIS CUM. 0 .5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.0 QUALITY POINT AVERAGE (CQPA) *COMPLETED CREDITS IS DEFINED AS RECEIVING GRADES OF A, B, C, D, F, or P. NOTE: 1. First-time TAP recipients must be registered for at least three (3) credits of college level course work. 2. Transfer students entering Orange who have received TAP at a previous institution must be registered for 6 (and possibly more) credits of college level course work as part of their full-time load. 3. Transfer students who received TAP at a previous college must have a credit evaluation done prior to receipt of a TAP award at Orange. *NYS ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. *Aid For Part-Time Study (APTS) Part-time students (6-11.5 credits per semester) enrolled in an eligible degree-bearing program may qualify for an Aid To Part-Time Study award. However, due to funding limitations and the number of qualified applicants, coverage is limited to 6 credits. Matriculated applicants must demonstrate the ability to complete college coursework at an accredited institution. (Academic transcript of course work completed at a prior institution should be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid.) Students who have completed at least three credits at Orange must have a minimum 2.0 CQPA. A dependent student's family's New York State net taxable income (NTI) must be $50,550 or less. The independent student's family (NTI) must be $34,500 or less. Applications are available at the Office of Financial Aid. Applicants must be New York State residents. Students awarded NYS Aid to Part-Time Study must complete a minimum number of college credits (based on NYS academic regulations) and maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA and CQPA in order to receive APTS the following semester. The State Standards of Progress for State Aid recipients (TAP, APTS etc.) are reviewed each semester and unlike the Federal Policy, only one waiver may be granted. Other than these differences, the STATE appeal process is the same as the Federal Appeal Process. *Subject to N.Y.S. budget approval. Financial Aid/TAP 44 Financial Aid Vietnam Veteran's Tuition Award Program (VVTA) and Persian Gulf Veteran�s Tuition Award Program Veterans who served in Indochina for the U.S. armed forces between December 22, 1961 and May 7, 1975 and Veterans who served in Persian Gulf hostilities beginning August 2, 1990 may be eligible to receive a grant of up to $500 per semester as a parttime student and $1,000 per semester as a full-time student. Applications are available at the Veteran's Office, third floor, College Commons, for first-time applicants. Students who have previously received VVTA re-apply through a FAFSA and a preprinted TAP Application (from Albany if full-time) or a VVTA Supplement Form (available in the Financial Aid Office if part-time). To receive a VVTA award a student must also apply for a Federal Pell Grant through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students must meet N.Y.S. residency requirements. Summer Sessions Eligible matriculated students may receive TAP and Federal Pell Grants during summer sessions. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information and requirements for summer aid. IV. How to Apply In order to apply for financial aid, a student must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We urge students to file the FAFSA electronically. The website is www.fafsa.ed.gov. There is no fee with this application. The FAFSA will be available in January. Students are also required to file the Orange County Community College Local Aid Application and return it to the Financial Aid Office. Early Fall semester applicants with need who file before May 1 will receive first consideration for campusbased aid programs, which are subject to funding limitations. Students applying for Spring semester should apply by Nov. 1 for early consideration. Students wishing summer aid should file before April 15. Late applications, however, will be accepted and placed on a waiting list throughout the year. A student may receive one source of aid or a combination of TAP, Federal Pell Grant, and the programs listed. However, the amount of aid received is limited by the student's educational cost, family contribution, and aid availability. If selected for verification, the student and family must provide documentation of all 2004 taxable (ie. signed copies of 1040,1040A/EZ with W-2�s) and non-taxable income (ie. social security benefits, social services, child support, etc.) All non-taxable income information provided should be representative of the last calendar year (2004 for the 2005-2006 aid year). Failure to provide the required information can result in a delayed decision on a student�s eligibility for financial aid. Financial Aid Workshops on how to complete the FAFSA are held at various times throughout the year on campus and at our Newburgh Extension Center. Please see our website for schedule: www.sunyorange.edu V. Transfer Students We encourage all transfer students to seek a credit evaluation of course work taken at prior institutions. This credit evaluation may be helpful in meeting State and Federal Academic Progress Standard requirements. 45 Financial Aid VI. Other Federal Financial Aid 1. Federal Perkins Loan Students who demonstrate exceptional need may be eligible to receive up to $20,000 as an undergraduate ($4,000 maximum per year).

These include at least 60 credit hours of study of which 45 credits must be in the liberal arts* for the AA degree, 30 credits for the AS degree, and 20 credits for the AAS. Students who take most of their courses at an extension center must complete a minimum of one course on the Middletown campus in order to be eligible for graduation. An online learning course cannot be substituted for this. Students may complete no more than 30 of their credits online, as the college does not offer any complete degrees online. The degree earned depends upon the educational and career goals of the individual. Each of the degrees offered at Orange are listed by degree title on the pages that follow with a description of the purpose, goals, and specific course requirements. *Courses numbered less than 50000 are designated liberal art courses while those numbered 50000 and above are designated professional/technical. Exceptions are noted in the section Course Descriptions. 64 Commencement Ceremony/Honors Courses and Designation Commencement Ceremony Participation in the commencement is not automatic. Students must initiate the process themselves. Those intending to graduate in June must file for graduation in the Records and Registration Office during the February prior to June graduation. Students who complete their graduation requirements at the end of the fall semester, or during the summer sessions, are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony the following June. See Academic Calendar for filing deadlines. Honors Courses and Designation The Honors Designation has been developed to offer highly motivated and talented students an opportunity to develop their potential more fully as they study for the Associate degree. The honors courses are selected from the general education requirements for the Associate degree: English, Social Science, Humanities, Math, Science and Business. The honors section of these courses will offer enrichment through alternative texts, outside readings, research projects and abstract concept development beyond the traditional course section. The Seminar requirement consists of a one-credit course per semester, for three semesters, in which the course objectives include: expanding student�s ability to analyze and apply concepts to current events; transcending gender, culture, race and socio-economic issues; working cooperatively; communicating effectively; and enhancing aspects of leadership skills and qualities. Graduation with Orange�s Honors Designation will enhance transfer opportunities to selective colleges and universities. The degree requirements for this Honors Designation on a transcript and diploma are listed below. Honors Designation Degree Requirements * 6 credits in Social Science or 3 credits in Social Science and 3 credits in Humanities honors courses, dependent upon program requirements. ** This requirement may be fulfilled by taking one of the following math courses and one of the following four credit lab science courses, depending upon degree requirements: Math: 38112 Introduction to Statistics Lab Science: 35101 General Physics I 38107 College Algebra 34105 General Chemistry I 38109 Pre-Calculus 31101 General Biology I *** The 3 Seminar credits are not part of any degree requirement, but rather an extra requirement for the honors program. The Seminar courses are restricted to those students who have been admitted into the honors program. A.A.

Note: Students interested in taking an Honors course who are not in the Honors Designation Program should contact the Honors Program Coordinator at (845) 341- 4004. Online Learning Courses Orange County Community College currently offers several general education and business courses online through the Internet each year. In addition, students may take courses which are "web-enhanced" or "hybrid" in nature. Students may access these courses from home or on campus, or wherever they can obtain Internet access. Web-enhanced course. A web-enhanced course makes use of web technology and services to support distribution of course materials and student access to resources on the web. These courses still meet for the required time on campus. Some courses may require participation in the web-enhanced portion of the course in determining the final grade. Hybrid course. A hybrid course makes significant use of the Internet technology to facilitate access to class materials and support communication between faculty and students, among students, and between students and resources. These courses will only meet for one-half of the required class time on campus. These courses will require participation in the online portion of the course in determining the final grade. Online course. A full online course is one that can be accessed anywhere and anytime via the Internet and a Web browser. It supports all the other services mentioned previously, as well as builds a learning community with the course taking place completely on-line, including live chats, bulletin board discussions and advising. To participate in an online learning course, students must have access to the World Wide Web and must use Internet Explorer 5 or higher as their web browser (JavaScript and Cookies must be enabled). In the home, access is usually provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for a monthly fee. Students must provide and confirm their email address with the Office of Records and Registration. An additional fee of $50 is required for each course. The student�s Internet Service Provides (ISP) will specify the computer requirements for its service. In addition, the college requires the following minimal requirements in order to access the online courses: Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and a 56K modem. Currently, the college does not offer any complete degree programs online. In keeping with New York State Education Department requirements, students may complete no more than 30 credits towards his or her degree online. In the event that a student achieves more than 30 credits online towards their degree, the extra credits will not be counted towards degree completion. As a result, the student may not be allowed to graduate until the required number of �on-campus� credits are completed. For students who take their courses primarily at an extension center, completion of an online course will not satisfy the graduation requirement that a minimum of one course must be completed on the Middletown campus. 66 Departments and Chairs/Student Retention/Graduate Tracking Departments and Chairs Accounting/Office Technologies Department�Chair, Ms. Krissler Applied Technology Department�Chair, TBA Arts and Communication Department�Chair, Ms. Lehtinen Assistant Chair�Mr. Heppner Biology Department�Chair, Dr. Traeger Business Management Department�Chair, Ms. Fleming Criminal Justice Department�Chair, TBA Dental Hygiene Department�Chair, Ms. Smith Diagnostic Imaging Department�Chair, Mr. Misiak Education Department�Chair, Ms. Carlson English and Foreign Languages Department�Chair, Ms. Godwin Assistant Chair, Ms. Stroms Laboratory Technology Department�Chair, Ms. Contarino Mathematics and Computer Sciences Department�Chair, Mr. Rickard Movement Sciences Department�Chair, Ms. Stepp Nursing Department�Chair, Ms. Scribner Assistant Chair, Ms. Connolly Occupational Therapy Assistant Department�Chair, Ms. Hannes Physical Therapist Assistant/Massage Therapy Department�Chair, Ms. Schneider Science and Engineering Department�Chair, Dr. Cummins Social Sciences Department�Chair, TBA Assistant Chair, TBA Student Retention Students enter Orange County Community College with a variety of educational goals. Some intend to take courses which will allow them to acquire new skills, transfer to another institution, or explore areas of personal interest rather than pursue a degree. Other students expect to receive a degree or certificate from Orange County Community College and then transfer or enter the work force. In Fall 2000, 781 first-time, full-time students entered Orange County Community College. Of those students, 99 graduated within two years. Another 80 graduated within the next year, while 169 were still enrolled at the college in the Fall of 2003. Additionally, 65 students transferred to a SUNY institution before having received a degree from Orange County Community College. Graduate Tracking Each year we survey our most recent graduates to determine their employment and transfer patterns. A total of 658 students received degrees or certificates in August and December 2002 and May 2003. Approximately 66% of these graduates responded to our survey. Of the respondents, 49% reported that they are employed, 50% have transferred, and 1% are engaged in other activities. It should be noted that many of our graduates are employed and have also transferred. The figures here represent our graduates' full-time or primary status.

(SUNY Memorandum to Presidents, 8/24/87) Comprehensive transfer and articulation agreements have also been established with a number of other colleges and universities. These agreements range from the identification of selected courses that will transfer to the delineation of specific AAS degrees that will transfer in full or in part. In some instances the AA and AS degree have been determined to fulfill all general education requirements. The following listing summarizes these agreements; the specific details of each agreement must be verified by the student with an advisor or counselor before finalizing his/her SUNY Orange course selections.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Jointly Registered Teacher Education Program The successful graduate of this program will be able to: � acquire a broad base of knowledge in their academic area of concentration � demonstrate developmentally appropriate practices in teaching methodology � understand, welcome, and integrate an unbiased appreciation of a classroom population that is diverse in appearance, performance, ability, and culture � plan effective, relevant, innovative lesson plans adhering to NYS Learning Standards and /or NAEYC Standards � grow in professional and ethical standards, collaborative teamwork, selfconfidence, confidentiality, and personal achievement Choosing an Age Level At SUNY Orange students must choose an age level: � Birth to Grade 2 (B-2) or First to Sixth Grade (1-6). These are NYS Teaching Certificate age level categories and determine course sequences at Orange. A.A. Jointly Registered Teacher Education Program 80 Choosing a Concentration At SUNY Orange students must choose an educational concentration: � English (available in B-2 and 1-6) OR � History (available in B-2 and 1-6) OR � Spanish (available in 1-6) OR � Biology (available in 1-6) � Math (Not available at this time BUT students may still take appropriate courses in 1-6 at Orange preparatory to transfer. See the appropriate advisor.) Transfer Information To transfer, SUNY Orange JRTEP students must: � Meet all entry criteria for Orange � Declare their intent to be in JRTEP prior to registration for proper advice/courses � Complete the courses outlined in their academic concentration � Complete SUNY-mandated General Education Requirement � Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 (Some courses have higher GPA required) � Complete the AA or AS degree � Complete separate application and/or procedures for SUNY New Paltz When JRTEP students successfully completes the A.A. or A.S. at Orange, they may transfer to New Paltz with full Junior standing to complete the Bachelor's degree. Admission to New Paltz is guaranteed under the JRTEP, but not always immediately to the Teacher Education Program. What would delay that? Higher numbers of applications and increased retention at New Paltz cause student acceptance to rely heavily on incoming GPAs. Although a 2.75 cumulative minimum GPA is required, recent applicants accepted as transfers had GPAs averaging 3.30+. Note well: Because teacher education programs and the NYSED certification regulations are precisely defined, it is essential that JRTEP students work closely with both their Orange advisor and the New Paltz advisor who is on campus once a month.

(301) 652-AOTA Occupational therapy practitioners provide services directed at enabling people to engage in the tasks and activities (the occupations) that are relevant to their daily lives. A toddler's occupation is play. Play encourages growth, exploration and development of social and cognitive skills. When a child is unable to engage in play due to a physical or emotional limitation, his/her ability to grow and learn may be limited. Through the use of adapted toys and games, the child is able to engage in the occupation of play. The occupation of a school-age child is learning. When a physical or emotional limitation exists, the child's ability to engage in learning is limited. Occupation for an adult with cardiac problems may include learning to conserve energy while doing daily activities. An occupation for the elderly may be participation in leisure time activities as well as maintaining personal independence. Occupation Therapy (OT) provides service to those individuals whose abilities to cope with their occupations (tasks) of living are threatened or impaired by developmental deficits, the aging process, physical injury or illness, or psychological and social disability. Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTA) work under the supervision of and in collaboration with Registered Occupational Therapists (OTR) addressing an individual's functional abilities and limitations in performance of daily occupations. The occupation of self-care, for example, includes the activities of bathing, shaving, dressing and feeding, each of which requires varying degrees of skill in motor, perception, cognition and psychosocial functioning. The COTA's responsibilities include providing purposeful activity to restore lost physical, cognitive and psychosocial skills, training in the use of assistive devices, and adapting environments and occupations to enable successful and safe performance. This Associate degree program qualifies the graduate for state and national certification as an occupational therapy assistant. The primary focus of the curriculum is on the development of clinical problem solving skills. A minimum grade of C is required in all occupational therapy assistant courses for progression in and graduation from the program. The program can be completed on a part-time basis over a period of no more than six consecutive semesters. An individualized approach to part-time study will be arranged by program faculty to meet individual student needs.

Fairfax St., Alexandria, VA 22314, (703) 684-2782 The physical therapist assistant works with and under the direction of the physical therapist in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, private offices, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, schools, fitness centers, and home care settings. A patient care program is planned by the physical therapist and may be carried out jointly with the physical therapist assistant. Duties of the physical therapist assistant include: monitoring of vital signs, lifting of patients and equipment, training patients in therapeutic exercises and activities of daily living; wound care, use of whirlpool and electrical stimulation during treatment procedures, application of heat and cold modalities, patient and family education, wheelchair activities, use of walkers and crutches, assisting the physical therapist in performing patient assessments and complex treatment procedures.The physical therapist assistant also monitors the patient's responses to treatment, documents relevant aspects of patient care, and maintains ongoing communication with the patient, family, supervising physical therapist, and other health care professionals. Students are accepted into the program each fall. Admission to the program requires, as a minimum, successful completion of one year of Advanced Placement (AP) high school biology with a 3, 4 or 5 on exam or Introduction to Biology or General Biology I, and placement into Freshman English I and Intermediate Algebra. High school chemistry, physics, and algebra are recommended; however, they do not affect admissions status. If a student has any questions regarding criteria for admission, they should refer to the Orange County Community College Viewbook or contact the Admissions Office. All students accepted into the Physical Therapist Assistant program are required to attend an orientation program in June prior to beginning classes in the fall and must undergo an annual physical prior to August 1st of each year in the program. The core Physical Therapist Assistant program must be completed in four consecutive semesters plus the following summer session. A minimum grade of C- is required in all 64� series courses, A&P I and A&P II, for progression in and graduation from the program. Permission of the department chairperson is necessary to extend completion of the core courses beyond the time frame listed above. If an extension is granted, the core Physical Therapist Assistant courses must be completed within three years of beginning core courses. A student should refer to the Physical Therapist Assistant Student Handbook for additional information regarding re-admission into the program. The non-core CPR course should be taken once accepted into the core Physical Therapist Assistant Program.

Students may begin or complete their certificate of studies at Orange County Community College or at New Paltz, but must complete at least half their credits at Orange County Community College if they wish Orange to award the Certificate. (Note: three of the courses in the program must be taken at New Paltz - 20341 Fundamentals of Corporate Finance, and 20309 and 20311 Statistics of Business and Economics I and II. 153 Academic Support Services Learning Assistance Services Developmental Education Program Orange County Community College offers a variety of developmental courses for students who need to strengthen their basic skills before enrolling in college credit programs. All students assessed into two or more developmental courses are identified as participants in the Developmental Education Program and have special support services provided to them. These students must follow specific academic policies related to this program. Developmental Courses: Upon admission to the college, students are assessed in reading, writing, and mathematics. The results of these assessments help determine whether a student needs developmental courses. In some instances, developmental courses are prerequisites to college-level courses. In all cases, successful completion of developmental courses into which a student has been placed is required. Please note the following conditions: Students placed in developmental writing and reading courses must be enrolled in these courses during every semester of attendance until they receive a grade of �P� in these courses. Grades of �P�must be received in these courses prior to having attempted a total of sixteen (16) non-developmental credits from the time of assessment. Students placed in developmental math courses must complete these courses, even though there may not be a specific math requirement in their curriculum. If students have not successfully completed these courses (38010 and 38020) by the time they have attempted (24) non-developmental credits, they must enroll in these courses every semester until they receive a grade of �P�. Grades of �P�must be received in all developmental courses into which they have been placed prior to applying for graduation. The reading, writing, and math assessment tests may be re-taken, only prior to attendance in classes, with the approval of the appropriate department chairperson, (i.e., Chairperson of the English Department for reading and writing, Chairperson of the Mathematics Department for math) or the Associate Vice President for Student Development. Students may also request waiver of placement from the appropriate department chairperson (English and math). Students in developmental courses receive supplemental help in the Reading and Writing Labs run by the Department of English & Foreign Languages and many receive supplemental help in the college�s Tutorial Center. The Developmental Student Advocate assists developmental students in planning their college program and acquiring the skills necessary for success. Units earned from developmental courses are institutional in nature; they are not applicable to the 60 or more semester hours of credit required for an Associate in Arts, Science, Applied Science, the two-year Certificate of Graduation, or any of the certificate programs. 11030 Basic Writing Skills I 11040 Basic Writing Skills II 11050 Reading and Study Skills I 11060 Reading and Study Skills II 11070 English As a Second Language 38010 Developmental Arithmetic 38020 Developmental Algebra Permitted Courses for Developmental Students 154 Developmental students may receive financial aid if they meet income eligibility requirements, are registered for at least six units/credits of course work, and have gone through the college's regular admission process.

Developmental students who are placed on academic probation (less than 2.0 CQPA) or receive an F,W, or H in a developmental course will receive a letter stating that the student's records will be reviewed by the Developmental Education Review Board. This review board may then limit the number of credits that the student may take or stipulate specific course(s) that the student must take. Students will have the option of meeting with the Developmental Review Board to discuss their circumstances before decisions are made. 2. Any Developmental student who fails to obtain the minimum credits passed that are indicated below will be separated from the college for a period of one year. Total Credits Attempted Minimum Credits Passed 24 6 36 12 48 18 Credits attempted excludes courses where a student has received a grade of W, I, M, or N. Developmental students who wish to appeal the decision of the Developmental Education Review Board may appeal to the appropriate Associate Vice President. Academic Policies and Procedures Academic Policies and Procedures 165 Grades and Quality Points A four-point grading system, based on letter grades of A, B, C, D, and F, is used at the college. Each grade is assigned a numeric value: A or A- = 4, B+, B or B- = 3, C+, C or C- = 2, D+, D or D- = 1, and F = 0. Quality points are derived by multiplying the number of credits of a course by the numeric value of the grade earned. For example, an A in Freshman English I (3 credits) produces 12 quality points, and a C- in Calculus I (4 credits) produces 8 quality points. To determine academic average for a given semester, divide the quality points earned by the number of semester hour credits calculated (QPA). The same formula is used to calculate the cumulative quality point average (CQPA); i.e., divide the total number of quality points by the total number of credits calculated. Though plus and minus modifications are entered on the academic record, they do not affect academic average. All courses taken at the college are calculated into the CQPA unless the student has been awarded a Fresh Start (see Fresh Start Policy). Transfer credits do not affect the CQPA. The college accepts the credits, but not the grade. However, when calculating academic average, the following special grades do not count as credits calculated; P (Pass) indicates satisfactory performance in a noncredit, developmental, or physical activity course; F (Fail) when received for unsatisfactory performance in a developmental or physical activity course; I (Incomplete) work unfinished due to unavoidable circumstances; W (Withdrawal) indicates that the student withdrew by the deadline or was withdrawn by the instructor; M (Medical Withdrawal) withdrawal from a course based upon documented health reasons;N (Non-credit) indicates a credit course was taken for no credit; and H (Hold) indicates a degree of progress was made in a developmental course but not sufficient enough to warrant a grade of P (Pass). To clear a grade of I (Incomplete) from the record, work must be completed by the deadline indicated on the Incomplete Form which can be no later than the end of the next semester, Fall or Spring. If the work is not completed, the I will become an F. It is the student's responsibility to remain in contact with the instructor and submit work by the deadline. A grade of I will be calculated as an F for graduation purposes Academic Policies 1. Conduct Expected of Students: See the Code of Student Conduct published in the Student Handbook. The college reserves the right to dismiss any student who conducts himself in a manner incompatible with the purposes of the college. 2. Code of Student Conduct: Orange County Community College Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, and staff have a primary concern for the academic achievement, standards, and personal integrity of our students. We recognize our obligation to protect college property, and we take special interest in the mental and physical health of our community.We are committed to preserving the peace, uplifting campus morale, and creating a civil climate on our campuses. The college has adopted specific policies and procedures as an expression of its expectations of student conduct which are published in our Student Handbook. Please refer to the Handbook for details. 3. Attendance: Attendance is required in all courses. Work missed during any period of absence, regardless of the reason for the absence, must be made up by the student (see course syllabi for details). Instructors are authorized to lower grades for class absences and may withdraw students from non-developmental courses for excessive absences. Academic Policies and Procedures 166 Instructors shall not lower grades for absences for religious observance nor, provided the instructor�s permission is given in advance, for participation in athletics or other collegesponsored events. If illness, accident or similar circumstances makes it impossible for a student to attend classes for three or more consecutive days, it is his or her responsibility to notify the Office of Records and Registration at once. The Records and Registration office will, in turn, notify each instructor. However, it is the student�s responsibility to contact each instructor to make up missed work. Current or future awards of financial aid may be affected if a student does not attend classes for which he or she is registered. 4. Audit of Course: Students who do not wish to earn credit or grade should complete a special permission card, available at the Records and Registration office, when they register for courses. Nursing courses are not subject to audit. Students may, however, change status from audit to credit or vice versa, if they file the special permission card by the end of the third week of classes (or its equivalent). Instructors are not required to evaluate the work of audit students. Those students who are eligible for financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid office before registering or changing to audit status. If audited courses are included in 12 credits of course work, a student can become ineligible for TAP and other aid programs. 5. Course Outline/Syllabus: Course Outline/Syllabi are to be distributed to students and appropriate department chairs at the beginning of each semester. The elements to be included in a course outline/syllabus are: heading, catalog description, relationship to programs, student learning outcomes, chronology of study, grading system, types of tests, instructional materials, attendance policy, instructor withdrawal policy, support services, office location, hours, phone and campus e-mail address, religious observance, and (ADA) Americans with Disabilities Act. Departments may have their own policies regarding additional information and endof- the-semester reports. 6. Official Withdrawal from College: A student may withdraw from the college and from all current semester courses, including developmental, if he or she does so by the deadlines published in the appropriate course schedule. The student should discuss the decision with his or her advisor prior to withdrawal. The student initiates the withdrawal process with the Records and Registration Office. The student must complete the Total Withdrawal from the College Form and the Drop/Add Form with appropriate signatures by the deadlines published in the appropriate course schedule. Exit Interviews with Counseling Center staff members are required for all admitted (matriculated) students. Students who receive any form of financial aid are required to obatain a financial aid officer�s signature.Non-matriculated students should complete and file the forms with Records and Registration office. 7. Withdrawal from Developmental Courses: Students who are required to enroll in developmental courses must remain enrolled in them until they are successfully completed by the deadlines established in academic policy (see catalog, Developmental Education Program). To withdraw from a required developmental course, a student needs the permission of the instructor, advisor, and the coordinator of developmental education or director of academic services or the appropriate associate vice president. Absence from class is not a sufficient reason when seeking permission to withdraw from a required developmental course. Students who choose to enroll in developmental courses may withdraw with the signature of an advisor. Academic Policies and Procedures 167 8. Withdrawal from Non-Developmental Courses: During the semester, a student may withdraw from a course by completing a withdrawal (drop) form that is available at the Records and Registration office with an advisor's signature. No record of the course appears on the student's transcript if the course is dropped by the deadlines published in the appropriate course schedule. From these dates forward, the student would need to do an Official Withdrawal by the appropriate deadlines (see Official Withdrawal from College section) or the instructor may initiate an Instructor Withdrawal. An instructor is not required to do an Instructor Withdrawal. Withdrawals are processed by the Records and Registration office as of the day of receipt. Please keep this in mind since refunds are generated from the processing date. 9. Withdrawal and Financial Aid Awards: Students who receive financial aid should check with the Financial Aid office as withdrawal from either a single course or from all courses may affect current or future aid. 10. Official Withdrawal from Course for Medical Reasons: When a student must withdraw from the college or course(s) due to personal medical reasons, he or she should obtain written verification from the physician and include it with all other required forms described above. The physician's statement should list the dates of the condition and provide a general description of the student's state of health. All such information maintained by the college is treated as confidential and privileged. The student's request for medical withdrawal and appropriate forms should be submitted to the Director of Academic Services before the end of semester in which the illness occurs. Note that withdrawals approved for medical reasons do not generate an automatic refund of tuition, waiver of the physical education requirement, nor waiver of financial aid requirements. Students should consult with the appropriate offices concerning the above. 11. Prerequisites: A prerequisite course is one that prepares a student for more advanced courses in an academic field. Prerequisites may be waived or substituted at the discretion of the appropriate department chair. A signed waiver form approved by the department chairperson must be filed with Records and Registration. Students with credits earned at a previous institution are urged to check with the academic departments at Orange to determine appropriate course equivalencies. Note: Course prerequisites are listed on the far right column of the course schedule or as a special notation connected with the course. A student without the appropriate prerequisite or waiver can be withdrawn from the course by the instructor. 12. Repeating a Course: A repeated course is automatically identified by the computer system. A special permission card is no longer required of students, except those in the Nursing program. Nursing students can obtain cards from the Nursing Department or the Records and Registration office. When a student repeats, the grade and credits earned in the last attempt are calculated in the academic average. All grades remain on the student's record. Students who receive financial aid should check with the Financial Aid office before repeating a course in which a D or better grade was earned. Departments in the Health Professions and Nursing curricula may, with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, designate courses (with an [R-1] at the end of the course description),which means they may be repeated only once. Students may appeal to the appropriate department chair for permission to repeat such courses more than once. Students may appeal department chair decisions to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or his/her designee. Academic Policies and Procedures 168 Students who fail to achieve the minimum grade required for progression or graduation and may no longer repeat that course are thereby removed from the program/curriculum, but not necessarily separated from the college. Repeating a course is taking a course after having received an A, B, C,D, F, W or M in that course. 13. Fresh Start Policy: This policy is intended to provide a �fresh start� for students with poor grades who want to change to a new program, or, having been away from the college for at least one year, want to resume their original plan of study. Please note that this application will not be reviewed until four (4) weeks into the returning semester. An eligible student will have his or her CQPA re-computed by excluding final grades earned in courses taken at Orange that are not explicitly required in the student�s intended degree or certificate program. The student may apply at any time during his or her career. However, a Fresh Start will be awarded only once. If the application is denied by the Director of Academic Services, a written appeal may be made to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Application of the Fresh Start policy means: a. Grades will be omitted from the recalculation of a CQPA until the CQPA is 2.00 or the smallest possible number above 2.0. However, the original grade remains on the transcript. b. Courses and grades omitted from the re-calculation will be identified on the transcript by the �#� symbol printed beside the recalculated course(s). To be eligible for a Fresh Start, a student must meet all of the following criteria: a. Be matriculated in a registered degree or certificate program at the college. b. Have changed curriculum, or have been out of the college for at least one calendar year. c. Have a CQPA lower than 2.0 at the time of the request. d. Acknowledge in writing the restrictions of this policy. e. Not have had any courses �discounted� under the previous policy. 14. Final Examination Policy: Final examinations are not required in all courses. In the Fall semester, for the mandatory fifteenth week, and in the Spring semester, during the optional sixteenth week, a special schedule is developed for the day classes. Final examinations will not necessarily be held on the same day or at the same time, during the Fall/Spring semesters, as the regularly scheduled course. The special schedule for final examinations of day classes is developed and distributed by the director of academic services at the tenth week of the semester. Examinations for evening classes are usually held in the last week, the same day of the week, and at the same time, during the Fall/Spring semesters, as the regularly scheduled course. See the academic calendar for the dates for final examinations. 15. Academic Year: This period is composed of two semesters, Fall and Spring, each of which is 15 instructional weeks long. Courses offered in the summer extend to either six or eight weeks. Intersession courses, when offered, are usually of three or four weeks duration. 16. Transcript Requests: Transcripts are sent to other parties such as colleges, prospective employers, or government agencies at the request of the student and payment of the required fee. Transcripts are mailed within a week of the request, in order of receipt, except for peak periods at the beginning and end of each semester. At those times, Academic Policies and Procedures 169 volume may require two or three weeks for processing. Transcripts should be requested well in advance of the required receipt date. Requests must be signed by the student, authorizing release of transcripts, and include the transcript fee of $5.00 per copy. Please be advised that institutions and agencies requesting transcripts will not consider them official unless mailed directly from Orange or hand delivered in a sealed envelope marked �unofficial if seal is broken�. 17. Maximum Credit Load: Students generally may schedule their classes in the day or evening, or both, in accordance with their particular needs. To register for 20 or more credits in a semester, or 9 or more credits in a summer session, the permission of the appropriate Associate Vice President is required. Twelve or more credits in a semester constitutes a full-time course load; one-half credit to 11.5 credits is designated as parttime study. 18. Credit by SUNY Orange Examination: Students� life experiences may qualify them to take examinations and earn college credit in certain course offerings. Check with appropriate department chairpersons. 19. Residence: In order to qualify for an associate degree, at least 30 credit hours must be earned while attending this college. In addition, a student must have completed no less than three (3) credits at the Middletown campus. These credits must be required by a degree or certificate; they may not include developmental courses or credits that are not included in the calculations for a degree or certificate. No more than two (2) credits in 99000 physical education courses may be applied to this requirement. 20. Dean's List: All full-time students who have earned a QPA (semester average) of 3.0, and who are not on academic probation, are placed on the Dean's List. Part-time students who achieve a CQPA (cumulative average) of 3.0 or higher for each full-time equivalent semester of study completed shall be placed on the Dean's List. A full-time equivalent semester is defined as the completion of twelve academic credit hours of study. 21.

Graduation with Honors: In addition to the diploma, graduates who have attained a CQPA (cumulative average) of 3.20 to 3.59 receive a certificate of graduation with honors at commencement. Those students who achieve a CQPA of 3.60 to 4.0 receive a certificate of graduation with high honors at commencement. 23. Deadline for Entering a Class (Drop/Add): Students may register for an open course with the signature of the advisor during the first two weeks (or its equivalent) of class;, unless the course has already met the equivalent of two weeks. In this case, the signature of the instructor, the department chair and the director of academic services is also required. Students may register for open first and second half-semester courses through the second class meeting of the first week of the course. See specific deadlines for Drop/Add listed in the Credit Course Schedule. 24. Change of Curriculum: A change of curriculum must be approved by the chairperson of the department in which a student plans to enter. The department chairperson for the new curriculum must approve the change. Forms are available at Records and Registration office and should be returned to this office. If a student wishes to change advisors, the request should be submitted to Counseling after the Change of Curriculum form has been filed. Academic Policies and Procedures 170 Academic Procedures 1. Cancellation of Scheduled Classes: Courses or sections with few registered students may be canceled. During the semester, classes will be canceled for the day and evening when hazardous driving conditions or similar circumstances make such action advisable. News regarding delays and cancellations is broadcast over local radio stations. The college reserves the right to reschedule classes. Generally, evening classes are made up on the Friday evening of the next week. 2. Certifications of Enrollment/Attendance or Certifications of Full-Time/Part-Time Status: Students who require official certifications from the Records and Registration office regarding enrollment/attendance or full-time/part-time status should submit signed written requests allowing our office to release such information in accordance with the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act. Certifications of Full-Time/Part-Time Status are done on a first-come, first-served basis. Certifications of Enrollment/Attendance are not sent until after the end of the third week of classes. If receipt by the requesting agency is needed by a specific deadline, students should so state in their requests. To certify enrollment, tuition and fees must be paid and all stop/holds must be cleared from the student's records. 3. Credit by Regents College Exams: In general, this college will consider granting credit towards graduation for any Regents College Exams passed if a comparable one is offered at the college. 4. Transfer Credit From Other Colleges: In general, no more than 30 semester hours of credit are acceptable. Only courses in which the student has received a grade of at least C will be considered. Credit will be evaluated for course work completed more than ten years ago on an individual basis. Only those credits which apply to the student's area of academic interest will be considered. Courses and credits, but not their grades, are accepted. A student�s CQPA at Orange is calculated based upon course work at Orange only. Transfer credits from other institutions do not affect the CQPA. If a course has been successfully completed at Orange, an equivalent course will not be accepted from another institution. If a course is failed at Orange, an equivalent transferred course may be accepted, but the failing grade will still appear on the student's transcript and calculated in the CQPA. No grades are ever eliminated from a student transcript. Active duty military personnel may receive up to 45 credits and veterans up to 30 credits for courses and military occupational specialities if the applicability to an area of academic interest is met. Students who have completed basic training in the U.S. armed forces may qualify for one and one-half (1 1/2) physical education credits. For more information, call the Veterans Representative at (845) 341-4071. 5. Field Trips: When students attend either group-sponsored or course-sponsored field trips, they must pay their own expenses. 6. Application For Graduation: This form must be filed in the Office of Records and Registration and the graduation fee of $35.00 paid in the Bursar by the deadline in the appropriate course schedule. Before students can be cleared for graduation, they must return all college property loaned to them and pay any monies or outstanding obligation owed to any office of the college. 7. Degree Audit/Catalog Year: Students in Health Profession majors must follow the catalog requirements of the year in which they were most recently accepted into the program. Academic Policies and Procedures 171 Non-Health Profession students who were admitted in Fall 1990 and after should follow the catalog year in which they were first matriculated, and attended beyond the third week of classes (or the equivalent). Students may choose to follow later catalog versions. The Records and Registration office will however base their degree audit upon the initial semester of matriculation and attendance unless otherwise notified in writing by the student. Non-Health Profession students who were last matriculated and in attendance prior to Fall 1990 should follow the catalog year in which they were first readmitted and attended after the Fall 1990 semester. Students may choose to follow later catalog versions. The Records & Registration office will however base their degree audit upon the first semester of readmission and attendance after Fall 1990 unless otherwise notified in writing by the student. All students must follow all the requirements of the eligible catalog year they are following. NOTE: Students who transfer to a SUNY four-year school and do not follow catalogs from 2000-2001 or after may be required to take additional courses at the four-year school. 8. Waiver of Physical Education For Health Reasons: Students seeking a waiver of physical education as a graduation requirement because of a physical limitation must follow this procedure: 1. Pick up a "Physical Education Waiver Request" form from the office of the Divisional Associate Vice President. 2. Give the "Physical Education Waiver Request" form to their physician. (He or she must read it before sending a letter requesting a physical education waiver.) 3. Have your physician write a letter using his or her letterhead and following the instructions on the "Physical Education Waiver Request" form. 4. Return the physician's letter to the office of the Divisional Associate Vice President. NOTE: Even though a physical education activity waiver is granted, students will still be required to take the one-half credit �Concepts of Physical Wellness� course, which is a lecture course and not an activity course. This applies to all students, regardless of when they matriculated into the college. Students with long-term disabilities should make application for physical education waivers their first semester at the college. 9. Waiver or Substitution of Graduation Requirement: Students who seek a waiver or substitution of a graduation course requirement should first discuss the request with the program department chairperson. Approval from the course department chairperson (if different from the program department chairperson) would also need to be obtained. Final approval is determined by the appropriate Associate Vice President. 10.Transfer to Four-Year Colleges: If students earn an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science degree from a two-year institution, State University of New York guarantees a place for them as a full-time student at a senior college campus � but not necessarily the one of their first choice. The application deadline is March 1 for Fall semester transfer and October 1 for Spring transfer. All other applications, excluding the guaranteed program, can be sent after this deadline. SUNY application forms are available at the Counseling and Guidance Center. If students plan to transfer, they should take advantage of SUNY Orange transfer days and visitations by four-year college transfer representatives. Watch for announcements of these events. Academic Policies and Procedures/Student Rights/Student Grievance Procedure 172 Whether students plan to transfer to a SUNY unit, a private college, or institute, they should select courses at Orange with care, consult their advisor or counselor and use the transfer library and microfiche college catalog collection in the Counseling Center, third floor, College Commons. Students� Rights In this regard,Orange County Community College supports the following position of the American Association of University Professors (1968 Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students): The professor in the classroom and in conference should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. A. Protection of Freedom of Expression Students should be free to take reasoned exceptions to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. B. Protection Against Improper Academic Evaluation Students should have protection through orderly procedures against prejudiced or capricious academic evaluation. At the same time, they are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled. C. Protection Against Improper Disclosure Information about student views, beliefs, and political associations which professors acquire in the course of their work as instructors, advisors, and counselors should be considered confidential. Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional obligation. Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate circumstances, normally with the knowledge or consent of the student. Student Grievance Procedure The following procedures are in place at Orange County Community College for any student who feels that his or her rights or freedoms have been violated. Students should remember that if they do have a grievance, there are people on campus whom they can approach to discuss their problem and who can provide guidance and advice with respect to the grievance procedures.

At this time, the records will be destroyed. Student Records/Confidentiality All student records are maintained and made available in accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. With some exceptions, all student records are available for review upon request by that student, and the right to challenge the content is provided. No records are released to third persons except as provided in the Act. Further information is available from the Office of Records and Registration, or in the SUNY Orange Rights and Responsibilities Booklet. Notification of Student Rights under FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student�s education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access. Students should submit to the director of academic services or vice president for student development written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student�s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the College to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the College official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. FERPA 176 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student�s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the College will disclose education records without consent to officials of another school which a student seeks or intends to enroll (barring any indebtedness to this College). 4. Students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with FERPA requirements: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605. Parents� Rights Message to Parents in Regards to Student Records: Orange County Community College is guided by the principle that students' active involvement in their education enhances their learning and development. In keeping with this principle, SUNY Orange considers its primary relationship to be with its students. When the student is a tax dependent of parents/guardians, it is important that both parties discuss how they will communicate. Academic progress is reported to students with the expectation that this information will be part of on-going discussions with parents/guardians. If said discussions are not taking place with the student, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act has provided two ways in which parents/guardians of dependent students may inspect the educational records of the student. The first is to obtain a signed written consent from the student and submit consent to the Director of Academic Services in the Office of Records and Registration. A student's signed written consent must specify the records to be inspected; state the purpose for disclosure; and identify the person(s) to whom the disclosure should be made. A new consent form would be required each year or when access to additional educational records not covered in the first consent form is being requested. If the consent form does not specify the actual records to be inspected or simply states something equivalent to �all educational records', the only educational records that will be disclosed are those that appear on the most current academic transcript. If the student is unwilling to provide a signed written consent, the final alternative is for the parents/guardians to provide the Director of Academic Services with a copy of the preceding year's tax returns to demonstrate the student is a tax dependent. The copy provided must have either been completed by a third party (i.e., H&R Block) or be an official full complete copy (not the shortened version) from the Internal Revenue Service. 177 Information on how to obtain this version can be found by contacting the IRS Office at 1- 800-829-1040. When the documentation is submitted, the parents/guardians must also specify the records to be inspected. If the request simply states something equivalent to �all educational records', the only educational records that will be disclosed are those that appear on the most current academic transcript. According to FERPA, an institution has up to 45 days after a valid request is presented to arrange for the inspection of the specified educational records. The meetings in the majority of cases will be made with the Director of Academic Services who acts as the FERPA Officer for the institution, and not with individual faculty members. Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Equal Employment Opportunity is the law. It is mandated by federal, state, and local legislation, by Executive Orders, and by definitive court decisions. EEO is a system of employment practices under which individuals are not excluded from any participation, advancement, or benefits because of their race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, disability, Vietnam era veteran status, or sexual orientation. Affirmative Action refers to steps taken to ensure that there is no discrimination with regard to employees and applicants for employment. It is designed to correct the effects of past discrimination, to eliminate present discrimination, and to prevent future discrimination. Affirmative Action differs from Equal Opportunity in that it is not merely prohibitive (nondiscriminatory) but positive (antidiscriminatory). Affirmative Action works on the principle that discrimination can be eliminated only when employers take positive steps to identify and change policies, practices, and any other institutional barriers that cause or perpetuate inequality. Affirmative Action, in other words, is the effort whereby the promise of Equal Employment Opportunity may be fulfilled. Orange County Community College is committed to the principles of non-discrimination and equality of opportunity for all qualified applicants, students and employees. Any questions or allegations should be directed to the college's Affirmative Action Hearing Office for students at (845) 341-4090. Students Unable to Attend Classes on Certain Days Because of Religious Beliefs 1.

Any student in an institution of higher education who is unable, because of his/her religious beliefs, to attend classes on a particular day or days shall, because of such absence on the particular day or days, be excused from any examination or any study or work requirements. 3. It shall be the responsibility of the faculty and of the administrative officials of each institution of higher education to make available to each student who is absent from school because of his/her religious beliefs an equivalent opportunity to make up any examination, study or work requirements which he/she may have missed because of such absence on a particular day or days. No fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to the said student such equivalent opportunity. Student Rights/Religious Beliefs/EO/AA Sexual Harassment 178 4. If classes, examinations, study or work requirements are held on Friday after four o'clock post meridian or on Saturday, similar or makeup classes, examinations, study or work requirements shall be made available on other days, where it is possible and practicable to do so. No special fees shall be charged to the student for these classes, examinations, study or work requirements held on other days. 5. In effectuating the provisions of this section, it shall be the duty of the faculty and of the administrative officials of each institution of higher education to exercise the fullest measure of good faith. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to any student availing himself/herself of the provisions of this section. 6. Any student who is aggrieved by the alleged failure of any faculty or administrative officials to comply in good faith with the provisions of this section, shall be entitled to maintain an action or proceeding in the supreme court of the county in which such institution of higher education is located for the enforcement of his/her rights under this section. (a) A copy of this section shall be published by each institution of higher education in the catalog of such institution containing the listing of available courses. 7. As used in this section, the term "institution of higher education" shall mean schools under the control of the board of trustees of the State University of New York or the board of higher education of the City of New York or any community college. Sexual Harassment Orange County Community College is committed to all provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and other human rights and equal opportunity laws. These laws include prohibition of discrimination in employment and educational programs and services on the basis of sex. Recent guidelines for Title VII of the Civil Rights Act focus upon sexual harassment as an unlawful practice. Recent interpretations of Title IX of the Education Amendments similarly delineate sexual harassment as discriminatory and unlawful. Sexual harassment takes many forms, from constant joking to physical assault. It may involve threats that a student will fail in class or that a person will lose his or her job. It may make the person�s study, work, or living environment uncomfortable through continued sexual comments, suggestions or pressures. It may include: � derogatory or dehumanizing gender reference; � subtle or overt pressure for sexual activity; � physical contacts. Sexual harassment is defined by EEOC as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature if: � submission to, or toleration of, such conduct on or off campus is made (either explicitly or implicitly) a term or condition of instruction, employment, or participation in other college activities; � submission to, or rejection of, such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for evaluation in making employment or academic decisions affecting the individual; � such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonable interfering with an individual's academic or work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive college environment. Orange County Community College is committed to maintaining a workplace and a learning environment free of sexual harassment and intimidation. Sexual harassment is unacceptable behavior, unlawful and not tolerated. Any member of the college community found guilty of sexual harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. Any questions or allegations should be directed to the college�s Affirmative Action Hearing Office for students at (845) 341-4090. Sexual Assault In response to: Public Law 101-542, Sec. 201 "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990," SUNY Orange provides workshops, prevention information programs and linkage to direct services and resources in the area. Nation-wide, the majority of campus assaults fall into the category of date rape or acquaintance rape. Date or acquaintance rape may be defined as: an interaction between two individuals in the context of a social event or gathering that ends with one partner forcing the other to participate in sexual activity against his or her will.While forced sex may not necessarily involve deception, direct threats of physical harm or violence and can occur between strangers or acquaintances, lack of consent determines that it is rape. No person or persons will by coercion or physical force engage in sexual acts with any member of the college community. No person or persons shall engage in forced sex with a person who is physically helpless, incapacitated, unconscious or otherwise incapable of communicating unwillingness or giving consent. Rape is a criminal offense and will be prosecuted under local and state laws. If any person has been a victim of this crime, he or she should report it to security immediately. The security office will take the report and direct the person to the appropriate resources. 179 Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assault 180 Student Services Co-Curricular Activities Student Development Mission Statement: The mission of the Student Development Division is to recruit and enroll a diverse student population and to provide students with an appropriate balance of challenges and supports which facilitate their success at Orange County Community College.

Referrals to community resources are available, however, follow-through is at the discretion of the student. Transfer Counseling As members of the New York State Transfer and Articulation Association, the counselors have developed contacts with many of the four-year colleges and universities where a majority of our students transfer to complete their undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. This valuable resource allows the counselors the unique opportunity to help guide students through the transfer process. Careful planning with a counselor can help smooth the transfer process to the student�s college of choice. The Counseling Center can assist the student with this process through the selection of courses, academic major/program, transfer colleges, and completion of application materials. In addition, the Center sponsors College Transfer Days in the fall semester, inviting approximately 90 public and private college and university representatives to campus to discuss their programs. 182 Assessment Center All matriculated students are required to participate in an assessment of their English and math skills prior to registering for classes, unless a waiver of the test is granted. This assessment is designed to ensure that students are placed into the appropriate classes based on their abilities. Counselors are available to discuss how the results of the assessment test fit into the student�s academic and career goals. For further information, please call (845) 341-4045. If a student does not have a high school diploma from an accredited and registered high school or a high school equivalency diploma and wishes to apply for financial aid, he or she must meet minimum score requirements on the Placement Assessment/ Ability to Benefit Test to be academically eligible for financial aid. The Counseling Center also offers computer-based CLEP exams, which allow the student the opportunity to earn college credits in various subject areas based on the results of the test.

The first two digits identify the department code, the next three or four digits identify the catalog number. The department code indicates division or department sponsorship of the course. See facing page for listing of the department codes. The catalog number indicates the level of the course. Courses described in this section are listed in numeric order. Read the description of the course carefully before you register for it, noting any prerequisite, corequisite, and the number of class hours. Each description lists the required number of student contact hours per week for a 15 week semester. For example, 35101 General Physics I, 3 lect., 3 lab., 4 cr., meets for three lecture hours and three laboratory hours each week, over a semester of 15 weeks. Four credits are received on successful completion of the course. Consult your faculty advisor if you have any questions about the level or the content of a course. In addition to the credit courses described, each academic department is authorized to offer Special Topics courses. In the past, these courses have provided specialized content or innovative approaches to learning. Special Topics are open to all students, provided prerequisites are met. The credits earned can be used as electives in fulfilling degree requirements. Check the schedule of classes each semester. Special topic courses are numbered similarly to all others except that the fourth digit is 9, i.e., 27290. To meet student needs, certain curricula such as Banking are offered only in the evening. Evening only courses are identified in the following section. Further note that due to academic and fiscal considerations, not all courses can be offered each semester of every year. Courses taught only in the fall or spring semesters are so identified; otherwise, courses may be taught both semesters. Therefore, this catalog should not be considered a contractual offer from the college to any prospective student. Courses that may only be repeated once are indicated by a [ Rail following the course descriptions (see Repeat Policy - page 167). Frequency and timing of course offerings: Unless specific semesters are listed, courses are offered on an occasional basis.

SUNY's 64 statewide campuses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New York citizens and comprise the nation's largest, centrallymanaged system of public higher education. When founded in 1948, SUNY consolidated 29 state-operated, but unaffiliated, institutions. Since then, SUNY has grown to a point where its impact is felt educationally, culturally and economically throughout the state. SUNY now offers 3,600 academic programs at its Educational Opportunity Centers, two-year colleges, four-year campuses and university and medical centers. Degree opportunities range from two-year associate programs to doctoral studies offered at 12 senior campuses. Two-year colleges are the largest branch of Higher Education, currently enrolling a majority of all first time college students. The 30 two-year community colleges operating under the SUNY program play a unique role in the expansion of educational opportunity by: � providing local industry with trained technicians in a wide variety of occupational curriculums � providing transfer options to students who wish to go on and earn advanced degrees, and � providing the community with yet another source for technical and professional upgrading as well as personal enrichment. SUNY is governed by a board of trustees, appointed by the governor, which directly determines the policies to be followed by the 34 state-supported campuses. Community colleges have their own local boards of trustees whose relationship to the SUNY board is defined by law. The state contributes one-third to 40 per cent of their operating cost and one-half of their capital costs. The State University motto is: "To Learn�To Search�To Serve."
