About the College
History of Phillips Community College
In 1964, leaders from all parts of Arkansas became enthusiastic about the public community college
concept and undertook the difficult task of amending the state’s constitution to permit the development of a
system of community colleges in Arkansas.
The official history of Phillips County Community College dates from two events in 1965: (1) Act 560 of
the Arkansas State Legislature, which paved the way for establishing community colleges; and (2) an affirmative
vote by the people of Phillips County on October 23, 1965, which provided the local financial support for
the college.
The Board of Trustees was appointed by the Governor of the State and met for the first time on November
1, 1965, officially creating Phillips County Community College. An early order of business for the Board was
the election of Dr. John Easley as the first president of the College. The Board of Trustees decided that since
construction of a new plant would take approximately two years, classes would begin in the Naval Reserve
Building in Helena. The building served as home for Phillips County Community College for two years. In
May, 1968, the first class was graduated. Construction of the permanent College facilities was also completed
in 1968.
In 1972, the Fine Arts Center and Lily Peter Auditorium were completed with the help of generous support
from the community. In 1976, the Nursing Education Complex was completed. In 1982, the Technical
& Industrial Education Complex was opened. In 1986, the administration/data processing building was
completed, and a year later, the college library was renovated and named the Lewis Library, thanks to the
generosity of the A. B. Lewis family.
In 1988, Dr. Easley retired, and the administration building was renamed in his honor. Dr. Steven W.
Jones was elected by the Board of Trustees to be the college’s second president on March 8, 1988.
Since that time, the College has experienced dramatic growth with the expansion of curriculum and
facilities. Enrollment increased steadily in the early 1990’s, and the Asa W. Bonner Student Center was
dedicated in 1991. The Mitchell Science Annex was added to the Nursing Education Complex in 1992. In
1993, the College was given the historic Pillow-Thompson House in Helena by Josephine Thompson and
her son, George de Man. The house was renovated with the generous support of community donations and
historic preservation grants and reopened in May of 1997.
In March 1996, the people of Arkansas County passed a referendum to annex that county into the PCCC
taxing district. The Board of Trustees changed the name of the college to Phillips Community College to
reflect the multi-county support and began plans to expand the off-campus programs in Stuttgart. In June
1996, the State transferred the former Rice Belt Technical Institute in DeWitt to Phillips Community College
and on July 1, 1996, Phillips became a member of the University of Arkansas System.
Facilities in Arkansas County have grown to include day and evening classes in Stuttgart and general
education programs in DeWitt. The Stuttgart facility is equipped with nine traditional classrooms, two science
labs, six computer labs, a large technical training lab, two compressed video labs for distance learning, a library,
large lecture room, bookstore, and offices. The DeWitt facility expansion and reconstruction included an
addition of 14,000 square feet and renovations to 15,000 square feet. The addition includes five classrooms,
two distance learning classrooms, library, and student center. In 2003, the Grand Prairie War Memorial
Auditorium Board voted to offer a long-term lease of the auditorium to the college as a technology training
center. In 2007, the National Guard Armory in DeWitt was leased to the College as a headquarters for the
agriculture program.
Phillips Community College has always been a leader and innovator in higher education in Arkansas.
The College has grown from an original enrollment of fewer than 250 students in 14 program areas to over
2,300 students in academic, occupational/technical, and continuing education programs. New programs are
continually being researched and planned so that PCCUA will remain responsive to the needs and interests of
the people of Eastern Arkansas and on the Grand Prairie. In the Fall of 2003, Dr. Steven Murray was named
Chancellor of Phillips Community College. Dr. Murray is the college’s third Chancellor.

and features a unique architectural design which blends with
the hilly contours of scenic Crowley’s Ridge. The campus has
approximately 80 acres, plus the Pillow-Thompson House and
two buildings on Ohio Street. Total square footage is 344,644.
All buildings on campus are completely air conditioned, and
the most modern, fully equipped facilities have been installed
for utilization in the arts, sciences, languages and occupational
programs.
The DeWitt campus is located on 29 acres on Hwy. 165 in
DeWitt. It consists of one building renovated and added onto
in 1996 to bring the total square footage to 48,000. The former
DeWitt National Guard Armory, leased by the college in 2006,
has become the Agriculture, Food and Life Sciences Center. The
9400 square foot building is located two blocks from the main
campus. It houses classrooms, labs and offices.
The 48,000 square foot Stuttgart campus was completed in the
spring of 1999. It is located on 61.5 acres on Highway 165,
south of Stuttgart. War Memorial Training Center was added to
the Stuttgart campus in 2003. The facility contains offices, classrooms
and a kitchen. A former armory, the building is used for
the Career and Technical Center classes and a variety of training
programs. The Training Center Annex is a refurbished building
that has been outfitted as a state-of-the-art welding lab. It houses
business and industry training classes and credit courses.

Admissions
Admission Requirements
In order to make the instructional process as effective
as possible, the following admission categories have
been established: conditional admissions, unconditional
admissions, and noncredit admissions. The
enrollment category of each student will be established
on the basis of information available during
the initial registration and re-evaluated during each
registration period based upon the student’s goals,
test scores, past performance, and academic progress.
A complete denial of enrollment will occur only in
those rare instances when a student clearly cannot
benefit from courses offered at the college.
Conditional Admissions
Phillips Community College has developed the
following policy for implementing the conditional
admissions of high school graduates as required by
Act 1290 of 1997.
All students graduating after May 1, 1999, from Arkansas
public high schools, out-of-state high schools,
home schooling, private high schools or receiving the
GED after May 1, 1999, and intending to enroll at
Phillips Community College to seek an associate’s
degree or a technical certificate will be evaluated to
determine conditional or unconditional admission
status. Part-time students and students enrolling in
certificate of proficiency programs or in non-credit
courses are exempt from the policy.
Unconditional Admissions
To receive unconditional admissions upon initial
enrollment in Phillips Community College, a student
who has graduated from a public high school must
have completed the core curriculum. To receive
unconditional admissions upon initial enrollment
in Phillips Community College, a student who has
(1) graduated from a private school, (2) graduated
from home schooling after May 1, 1999, or (3)
received a GED after May 1, 1999 must make a
composite score of 19 on the American College Test
(ACT) or the equivalent score on the SAT, ASSET,
or COMPASS.
Students admitted conditionally must, prior to
achieving sophomore status, complete a core curriculum
with a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
of at least 2.0. Students seeking an A.A. or A.L.S.
degree must complete twelve hours of core academic
courses (and any required remedial courses) required
for the degree. Students seeking a technical certificate
or an A.A.S. degree must complete six hours of core
academic courses and six hours of technical courses
required for the certificate or degree. Students who
fail to complete the required courses by the time they
achieve sophomore status will be faced with academic
probation and possible suspension.
Noncredit Admissions
Students enrolling in only noncredit continuing
education and community service classes will be
placed in this enrollment category.
Admission Procedure
1. Request an application form from the Admissions
Office or tear out the form at the front of this catalog.
If your request is by mail, address Admissions Office,
Phillips Community College, P.O. Box 785, Helena-
West Helena, Arkansas 72342-0785.
2. Ask your high school principal or counselor to send
your transcript of credits, or if you are a transfer student,
request registrars of all institutions you previously
attended to send an official transcript to the Admissions
Office.
3. Take college tests. If you have not taken the ACT,
SAT, or ASSET test, you will be required to take the
COMPASS test during registration.
4. Have your health care provider complete and mail the
medical form which is included with the admission forms
which will be sent to you along with your acceptance
letter. (Does not apply to part-time students.)
5. If you are planning to enter an Allied Health field,
request an application from a specific department. If
you have any questions, call the Helena-West Helena
campus at (870) 338-6474.
Transfer Students
Phillips Community College accepts the transfer-in of
college credits when all of the following conditions are
satisfied.
1. The credits were earned at a postsecondary institution
having regional accreditation authorized to award the
associate degree.
2. The course credits being transferred are applicable for
satisfying a requirement in the PCCUA program of
study being pursued by the student.
3. The grade earned is a C or higher.
In some cases, credits may be accepted from institutions
having special professional accreditation. Such special
accreditation must be at a level which is commonly recognized
as setting the professional standards for certification
or licensing in the profession.
In those cases where there is a question about the acceptability
of credits earned at any other institution, PCCUA
shall follow the policy of the major state university in the
home state of that institution. (If that university would
accept the credits in question, as a general rule, so will
PCCUA).
Special Students
Any course that is offered for which a student is eligible
may be taken by the student. A student on credit status or
a student who is entering and is eligible for credit status
may elect at the time of registration to enroll on an audit
basis. Students enrolled on an audit basis will receive a
grade of AU and cannot receive college credit.
The fees for credit courses taken on an audit basis are the
same as they would be on a credit basis.

Testing
Placement Testing
Testing requirements at Phillips Community College are designed
to provide information about students so that counselors, advisors,
and teachers can better assist them in their decision-making
while at the college. In accordance with Arkansas state law, all
students enrolling in college-level mathematics and English
courses will be tested for placement purposes.
Students must score 19 or above on the mathematics portion of
the Enhanced ACT, 460 or above on the quantitative portion of
the Recentered SAT, 39 or above on the ASSET Intermediate
Algebra test, or 41 or above on the COMPASS Algebra test to
enroll in college-level mathematics courses. Students scoring
below the standard are required to enroll in appropriate developmental
mathematics courses during their first or second semester
and remain continuously enrolled in such courses until they have
successfully completed their mathematics requirement.
Students must score 19 or above on the English portion of
the Enhanced ACT, 470 or above on the verbal portion of the
Recentered SAT, 45 or above on the ASSET Language Usage
test, or 75 or above on the COMPASS Language Usage test to
enroll in college-level English courses. Students scoring below
the standard are required to enroll in appropriate developmental
courses, as determined by their test scores, and remain continuously
enrolled until they have successfully completed their
English requirement.
Students who score 19 or above on the reading portion of the
Enhanced ACT, 470 or above on the verbal portion of the Recentered
SAT, 43 or above on the ASSET Reading Skills test, or
82 or above on the COMPASS Reading Skills test, are considered
to have met minimal reading skill requirements. Students who
do not meet minimal reading skill requirements are required
to enroll in appropriate developmental reading courses, during
their first or second semester as determined by their test
scores, and remain in such courses until they have successfully
completed them.
Phillips Community College will administer the COMPASS test,
free of charge, to all degree seeking students and to all students
enrolling in college-level English and mathematics courses.
Students may schedule the COMPASS test by contacting the
Advisement Center and should do so prior to registration.
Other types of testing are available at Phillips Community College
as part of the general student development service. Through testing,
students may gain information pertaining to their academic
or vocational interests, personality characteristics, academic aptitudes,
and other areas. There are no charges for these services.
Contact a college counselor for further information.
Advanced Placement Credit
Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas will
award college credit to entering freshmen based upon Advanced
Placement Examination results. Credit will be awarded, but no
grade will be assigned.

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Policy
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a standardized,
national examination by which students may earn college
credit. The minimum scores acceptable for the awarding of credit,
however, are determined by the individual college. Students who
are enrolling at Phillips Community College may earn up to 30
hours of credit through either the general or subject examinations
with the following provisions:
1. No grade will be given for CLEP credit. CLEP credit will be
entered on the transcript as “Credit by CLEP examination”
and the CLEP score earned will be noted.
2. CLEP credit will not be posted on the transcript until a student
has earned 9 hours in regular course work at PCCUA. t A
that point the student should petition to the registrar to
have the CLEP credit placed on his transcript.
3. A student may not take the CLEP examination and receive
CLEP credit after taking and completing with either a passing
or failing grade a comparable course at PCCUA.
4. CLEP credit earned at other colleges will be accepted at
PCCUA provided the following score requirements listed
are met, and an official CLEP score report is submitted.
5. A fee of $65 is charged for each CLEP examination taken.
Students interested in taking CLEP examinations should contact
the Advisement Center in order to register for a CLEP examination.
The CLEP examinations which may be taken, the minimum
scores required for CLEP credit, and the PCCUA course
equivalents are listed on the next page.

EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITy POLICy:
The college provides equal educational and employment opportunity regardless of sex, marital or parental
status, race, color, religion, or age. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination
on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance by way of grant,
contract, or loan. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is similar in its prohibition of discrimination on the
basis of race, color, sex, or origin. Equal education opportunity includes admission, recruitment, extracurricular
programs and activities, facilities, access to course offerings, counseling and testing, financial assistance, placement,
health, and athletics. The college is also committed to equal opportunities for the physically and mentally
handicapped in compliance with federal regulations, Sec. 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990. If a student has special needs, the college only needs to be notified and arrangements
will be made.
Students’ grievance appeals on conditions considered to be unfair, unjust, inequitable or discriminatory
are started with the student’s departmental chairperson. Chairpersons review appeals and take corrective action
at their level or refer an appeal to the chairperson of the Human Relations Committee. If the student grievance
is not satisfied at that level, further appeal is available.

Student Services
The admissions policy utilized by Phillips Community
College cannot be successful without a sound program of
student development.
The majority of the students entering will need assistance,
and the support services will become a major factor in
inspiring them to achieve their goals. Interviews with an
advisor are of extreme importance because this may be
the first introduction to college and/or the most extensive
self-assessment the student has ever made.
Every student has the right to be an individual. This means
that Phillips Community College will provide not only fundamental
needs, but also opportunities for self-exploration,
experimentation and examination. Our major categories of
service are (1) admissions, (2) academic advisement, (3)
counseling, (4) student-aid, (5) registration and records,
(6) student activities, and (7) placement. Through these
services, we hope to reach as many people as possible and
make the year or years at Phillips Community College an
experience of growth toward a fulfilled individual.
Objectives of Student Services:
(a) To provide information, exploration and admissions
counseling by which students may move into an
appropriate curriculum.
(b) To implement the advisor system and provide additional
individual counseling opportunities on a referral
basis.
(c) To coordinate a comprehensive program of student
activities and services.
(d) To provide tests and other data regarding student
characteristics.
(e) To offer placement services to occupational students.
Student Success Services
Student Success Services will help you build the characteristics
of a successful student and provide you with campus
resources such as:
• Tutoring
• Early Alert
• Assistance with Study Skills and Time Management
• Support and mentoring programs
• Excessive absence

students make choices about their future by providing
• Referrals for Community Resources such as: occupational information to students who are unde-
Housing, counseling, childcare, transportation cided about their career goals.
Students interested in these services should contact the
Student Success Coordinator located on each campus.
Academic and Financial Probation
Acts as a liaison between students and faculty when student
is identified as high risk.
Student Advisory System
Phillips Community College believes that a student-instructor
relationship should be established to bring about
a mutual understanding which will be of benefit to the
student in progressing toward normal and fruitful completion
of a program.
An academic advisor will be assigned to the student
prior to registration. The advisor is usually a faculty
member in the academic area most closely related to
the student’s proposed major. The advisor will assist
the student in choosing the appropriate courses prior
to registration each semester. In addition, the faculty
advisor will give the student information of a general
as well as specific nature concerning referrals, financial
aid, testing, etc.
While the student advisory system has much merit, there
are specialized skills not usually within the framework
of the typical student-instructor relationship.
Advising
Phillips Community College provides the services of
professionally trained advising to all students. The
purpose of this service is to provide assistance with
both academic and personal concerns involving the
student’s tenure at this institution. Some of these
concerns are immediate to the student and can be
solved in one advising session while others are of a more
serious nature and will require the administration and
interpretation of tests and counseling sessions over a
longer period of time.
Some of the specific types of services rendered by
advising are:
• Advising—An individual confidential conference
for the purpose of discussing educational,
vocational, and personal achievements.
• Analysis—Interpretation of test data concerning
scholastic ability, vocational interest, vocational
aptitude and personality characteristics.
• Information—Discussion of career choices,
additional educational opportunities, orientation
and study habits.
• Other Services—Placement for senior college
transfer students, follow-up for college transfer
students, individual inventory and coordination
with other student personnel services.
Career Services
Career services include:
• help in identifying interests and skills
• information on careers
• personalized career counseling
• multi-media resources/lending library of
career related books
• job-seeking skills workshops
• assistance with full and part-time job placement

Student Financial Aids
Phillips Community College was founded on the
belief in equal opportunity, the ideal of making the
benefit of a community college education available
to all, regardless of financial needs. The function of
the office of Financial Aid is to provide assistance in
the formulation of realistic student financial plans. A
number of scholarships, loans, and grants are available
to prospective or continuing students who have
shown academic proficiency and have demonstrated
a financial need. Part-time employment opportunities
are open to all students, but are dependent upon the
availability of jobs and the student’s skills.
Financial Need
Both Federal, State and other financial aid is awarded
to students who show financial need and who are
maintaining satisfactory progress as defined by the
institution.
How to Apply:
1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student
Financial Aid (FAFSA) for first time and transfer
students. These are available at all college campuses
or on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
2. Return the FAFSA to any college campus where
it will be processed electronically.
3. you will receive notification in the mail of the
status of your financial aid within two to three
weeks.
4. If you are attending PCCUA classes for the
first-time and you are eligible to receive federal
financial aid, you will need to submit the following
information:
• a copy of your high school transcript, GED,
OR a copy of your most recent college academic
transcript(s);
• a completed financial aid Student Data Form
(available on all campuses).
How it Works:
• If you are eligible for financial aid, you will receive an
Award Letter from the PCCUA Helena campus’ financial
aid office;
• Take the Award Letter with you when you register for
classes;
• you can use the Award Letter to help pay for your
tuition and books;
• If the amount of the award letter is greater than the
cost of tuition and books, the balance is paid to you in
two payments.
• Remember: Students who withdraw from classes may
be required to repay federal dollars.
To be considered a full-time student, federal financial aid
requires enrollment of twelve (12) credit hours.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity
Grants
A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG) is for undergraduates with exceptional financial
need - that is, students with the lowest Expected Family
Contributions (EFCs) - and gives priority to students who
receive Federal Pell Grants. An FSEOG doesn’t have to
be paid back.
Federal Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid.
Generally, Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate
students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional
degree. Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to
which other aid may be added. Student eligibility is based
upon financial need which is determined from information
provided on the FAFSA application.
The Stafford Loan Program
Stafford Loans are the Department of Education’s major
form of self-help aid for students. Stafford Loans may be
made either through the Federal Direct Student Loan (Direct
Loan) Program or through the Federal Family Education
Loan (FFEL) Program. Loans made to students here at
PCCUA are through the Federal Family Education Loan
(FFEL) Program. Funds for these loans come from private
lenders and banks that participate in the FFEL Program.
Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs for undergraduate
students with a financial need, allowing them to
earn money to help pay for their educational expenses. The
program encourages community service work which allows
some students to work either on or off campus. Students
who are only interested in the Federal Work-Study Program
are still required to complete the FAFSA application to
determine their eligibility for this particular program.
PLUS Loan
PLUS loans are designed for parents of dependent students
who need to borrow money to help with educational expenses.
As with the Stafford Loan, these loans are made by
a bank, savings and loan, etc. These funds must be repaid.
More information is available from the Financial Aid Office
at Phillips Community College.

Financial Aid

Satisfactory Performance Standards for
Financial Aid Eligibility
Federal regulations governing all Title IV federal and campusbased
programs (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work-Study, FFEL
and PLUS Loans) require the institution to measure a student’s
progress toward a degree or certificate program. Students must
complete requirements for a degree or certificate program within
a reasonable length of time and maintain a minimum cumulative
2.0 grade point average, as defined by the institution.
Total Credit Hours
Students may attempt up to a maximum of 100 credit hours
while pursuing their two-year degree. All courses attempted
at Phillips Community College, including repeated courses,
courses with a grade of F, W, EW and I, and all hours pursued
at any other institution will be counted in the determination
of hours attempted.
Students who are required to enroll for remedial course work will
be allowed to attempt up to 30 hours of remedial work, which
will be counted toward the maximum 100 credit hour limit.
Students must successfully (A, B, C or D) complete at least 67
percent of all credit hours attempted each semester, including
remedial courses. An evaluation will be made each semester to
determine the student’s progress.
Cumulative Grade Point Average
Students (including those enrolled for remedial coursework)
must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of
2.0. Evaluation will be made at the end of each semester to
determine the student’s progress for cumulative grade point
average requirements.
Probation
Any student whose cumulative completion rate and/or cumulative
grade point average falls below the minimum requirements will
be placed on financial aid probation for one semester. During
the probationary semester students will be required to enroll in
classes recommended by their advisor and may be required to
report for tutoring. Students on financial aid probation must
meet the requirements at the end of the probationary semester
or their financial aid will be terminated.
Repeating Classes
Students will be allowed to repeat a class one time to improve
their cumulative grade point average. Any class being attempted
for the third or fourth time will not be included in the calculation
of hours for financial aid awarded.
Termination of Aid
A student whose financial aid has been terminated for failure
to meet satisfactory progress standards may make an appeal in
writing to the Financial Aid Exceptions Committee. The student
should explain any mitigating circumstances related to his or
her academic problem and be prepared to provide supporting
documentation. The deadline for an appeal is August 1st for the
Fall semester and December 15th for the Spring semester.
Other Financial Aids
Part-Time Employment
Many students are employed by the college and a number of
agencies in the surrounding community. Students should be
careful not to overload their work schedule so that it interferes
with their study and class time. Career Services receives many
requests from local employers eager to employ students in a variety
of part-time jobs. Their offices are located in the Advisement
Center on the Helena-West Helena campus, contact Glenda
Allen in DeWitt at (870) 946-3506, ext. 1607, or contact Terry
Simpson in Stuttgart at (870) 673-4201, ext. 1809.
Veterans (GI) Benefits
The Arkansas State Approving Agency approves some programs
at PCCUA for veteran training. Veterans of recent military
service, service members, members of reserve units, and dependents
of certain other veterans may be entitled to educational
benefits under the following programs: Title 38, Chapter 30,
Montgomery GI Bill for Veterans; Title 38, Chapter 32, Veterans
Education Assistance Program (VEAP); Title 38, Chapter 35,
Survivors and Dependents Education; and Title 10, Chapter
1606, 1607, Montgomery GI Bill for Selective Reserves. Students
must be working toward a degree following curriculum
outlined for their objectives.
Application forms and additional information concerning these
benefits may be obtained by contacting the Vice Chancellor for
Student Services. We urge that veterans apply for educational
benefits at least two months before beginning classes.

available to a veteran who incurred disability as a result of service
in the armed forces. Under Public Law 815, tuition, fees and
subsistence will be paid through the Veterans Administration.

Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes regularly and
punctually. The instructor will provide to the student
at the beginning of the semester a written statement of
the specific attendance policy for the course. It is the
student’s responsibility to know and comply with the
instructor’s policy and to contact the instructor to make
up missed work.
The instructor will warn a student in danger of becoming
excessively absent by sending a warning notice to the
Advisement Center so that the student can be contacted
by an advisor either by phone or in writing. If the student
is absent more times than allowed by an instructor, the
instructor will drop the student from the class roll with a
grade of EW by notifying the Admissions/Student Services
Office in writing.
Withdrawal
A student who withdraws from the college in the course
of the regular semester or summer term must do so officially
at the Admissions/Student Services Office. Official
withdrawal must be made in person or by written statement
from the student. The student’s I.D. card must be
submitted at the time of withdrawal.
Consultation with an advisor is suggested. Failure to do
so may result in the recording of failing grades in the
course(s) for which the student is registered.
Chancellor’s List
A student who achieves exemplar academic success at
PCCUA is named to the Chancellor’s List. To be named
23
Academic Issues

to this list a student must enroll in 12 or more semester hours
of college level credit and maintain a 4.0 GPA for the semester
enrolled. This extraordinary list of students is released at the
end of each Fall and Spring semester.
Dean’s List
A student who demonstrates outstanding academic success at
PCCUA is named to the Dean’s List. To be named to this list
a student must enroll in 12 or more semester hours of college
level credits and maintain a GPA of at least a 3.5 but below a
4.0. This distinguished list of students is released at the end of
the Fall and Spring semester.
Academic Probation and Suspension
The cumulative grade point average (GPA) will be used in all
probation and suspension determinations. The GPA is computed
each semester for full-time students and each block of ten (10) or
more semester hours for part-time students. When the cumulative
GPA falls below the level specified in the table below, the
student will be placed on ACADEMIC PROBATION.
Credit Hours Completed ......................GPA
0-10 ..................................................... none
11-16 ................................................... 1.25
17-32 ................................................... 1.50
33-48 ................................................... 1.75
49-over ............................................... 2.00
Students on Probation
Students placed on probation will be required to:
1. Accept enrollment in an advisor-directed studies program,
2. Meet with their advisor at least three times during the
semester (during the fourth or fifth week of the semester,
at midterm, and during the eleventh or twelfth week of the
semester),
3. Enroll in appropriate developmental courses and meet with
a tutor as recommended by their advisor, and
4. Take no more than twelve hours a semester unless the advisor
approves additional hours.
Suspension of Students
If the probationary status is not removed during the advisordirected
semester (or block of ten semester hours for part-time
students), the student will be suspended for one regular semester
(excluding summer session). However, any student on probation
who received a GPA of 2.5 or higher for twelve or more hours for
that semester will be allowed to enroll for the following semester
even though the cumulative GPA does not meet the minimum
GPA requirements set forth.
After being suspended for one semester and upon readmission,
the student must meet the GPA requirements set forth or be
suspended from the college for one academic year.
Transfer Student Probation
Transfer students are subject to the same probationary requirements
as currently enrolled students. A transfer student with less
than the required GPA from the previously attended institution
may be enrolled on probation.
Appeal of Suspension
Students may make a written appeal of their suspension to the
Academic Standards Exception Committee if there are mitigating
circumstances related to their academic performance. This appeal
must be filed in the Admissions Office at least one week before
classes begin. After having been suspended from the college for
one year, a student may apply to the Academic Standards Exception
Committee for readmission. Readmission is not automatic;
each case will be judged on merit.
Repeating Courses
Any student may repeat a course to change the original grade
of that course. When the course is completed, the higher grade
will be noted with an asterisk * and retained for credit hours and
grade point calculations on the student’s transcript. A student will
receive credit for only that one course. However, both courses and
grades will appear on the transcript. Parenthesis ( ) will indicate
credit hours not calculated in the student’s GPA. Students must
check with their advisor to verify repetitions allowed.
Academic Clemency
A student may be given academic clemency for up to 21 semester
hours of unsuccessful academic work (D, F, or E grades). The
courses for which the student is given academic clemency will
remain on the transcript, but grades received in those courses
will not be used to calculate the student’s cumulative grade point
average (GPA). Clemency will cover all credits earned during
the semesters for which it is granted. No credits earned during
the semester for which clemency is granted will count toward
graduation requirements. Courses passed during that semester
need not be repeated, but a sufficient number of additional credits
must be earned to meet graduation requirements.
In order to seek academic clemency, the student must not have
been enrolled at any higher education institution for three consecutive
academic years and must make application in writing to
the Vice Chancellor for Instruction. A student may be granted
academic clemency only once.
Cancellation of Courses and/or Programs of Study
Phillips Community College reserves the right to cancel courses
and/or programs of study which do not meet its established
criteria relating to:
1. Availability of competent instructors
2. Adequate facilities
3. Sufficient enrollment
Housing
No housing facilities are provided by Phillips Community
College.
Changes
Phillips Community College reserves the right to change rules,
regulations and/or policies at any time.
Residency Requirements
A legal resident of Phillips or Arkansas County is defined as a
person who has lived within the boundary of said county for
the past six consecutive months. An out-of-district resident is
defined as a person who has lived within the state of Arkansas for
the past six consecutive months, but outside Phillips or Arkansas
County. (Coahoma, Tunica, Quitman and Boliver county
residents of Mississippi are classified as “out-of-district” rather
than “non-Arkansas.”) A non-Arkansas resident is defined as
a person who has not lived in the state of Arkansas for the past
six months consecutively. A copy of the complete Residency
Regulations for Public Colleges and Universities in the State of
Arkansas is available in the Registrar’s office.
Refund Policy
When a student withdraws from PCCUA, a determination will
be made regarding repayments and refunds. “Repayment” is
the amount of Student Financial Aid (SFA) funds previously
disbursed to a student that he or she must pay back. “Refund”
refers to the amount of institutional charges that must be returned
to the SFA Programs, other sources of aid, and/or the
student, for a student who received SFA funds and who has
ceased attending school.

The State Refund Policy will apply when a student withdraws
from all classes provided that the student has followed the official
withdrawal procedure. This policy was adopted by the
University of Arkansas Board of Trustees as the official state
refund policy for all its member institutions and entitles students
to refunds as follows:
Registration, Tuition and Fees
Up to and including five class days ......................100%
From the sixth class day through the tenth
class day ........................................................................... 50%
The eleventh class day and after .................No Refund
Any student who drops one or more courses and continues to
be enrolled during a fall or spring semester shall be entitled to
individual course refunds as follows:
Registration, Tuition and Fees
Up to and including five class days ......................100%
The sixth class day and after .........................No Refund
Any student who drops a course or officially withdraws from
PCCUA during a summer school session shall be entitled to an
adjustment as follows:
Registration, Tuition and Fees
Prior to the start of classes ......................................100%
Up to and including two class days .....................100%
The third through the fifth class days ................... 50%
No adjustments after the fifth class day ...No Refund
Students who receive disbursements of Title IV aid and later
terminate their enrollment require institutional review to determine
if there has been an overpayment of SFA funds, and if
repayment of any financial aid by the student is required.
If repayment to any Title IV program is required, the following
priority list will be used:
•Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
•Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
•Federal PLUS Loan
•Federal Pell Grant
•Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG)
•Other Federal Aid programs
The portion of a repayment allocated to a program may not
exceed the amount a student received from that program.
When a student withdraws from the institution, a review will
also be required to determine if a refund should be made to any
financial aid programs and/or the student.
In allocating the Title IV and other components of a refund back
to the various sources the following priority list will be used:
•Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
•Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
•Federal PLUS Loan
•Federal Pell Grant
•Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG)
• Other Federal Aid programs
• Other state, private or institutional sources of aid
• The student
25
The Federal Refund Policy will not be applicable with regard to
refund calculations at PCCUA since the University of Arkansas
Board of Trustees has adopted a recognized State Refund Policy
for its member institutions as outlined above. Unpaid charges,
which are defined as the amount that institutional costs charged
to the student exceed the total amount paid to institutional costs,
will reduce the amount available to be refunded in certain situations.
For examples of refund calculations students may contact
the accounts receivable clerk in the college’s Business Office.
Standard of Behavior
College students are considered to have reached the age of
responsibility and discretion. Students must realize that the responsibility
for success in college rests largely upon themselves.
Their conduct, both in and out of college, is expected to be
honorable and dignified. The college reserves the right to dismiss
any student whose behavior, on or off the campus, is considered
undesirable or harmful to the college.
The Curricula
Phillips Community College is strongly committed to an educational
program that will provide a foundation for intellectual,
cultural and social growth beyond that imposed by narrow highly
specialized training. To broaden a student’s educational base, it
is required that courses be taken that make up a core of General
Education. These courses include English, Social Science, Fine
Arts, Natural Science, Literature, Mathematics and Physical
Education. Variations and options within the General Education
requirements are available in most curricula.
Distance Learning
PCCUA has several kinds of distance learning options available
for students enrolled at the College. Distance learning may use
live-interactive or asynchronous (i.e. pre-recorded) presentation
methods. Distance learning can be delivered via a variety of
media, including broadcast, webcast, podcast, etc.
Distance learning is a process through which knowledge and
skills are acquired through distributed information and instruction.
Distance learning encompasses all technologies and other
forms of learning at a distance, including instructor-led events.
Normally, distance learning is characterized by the following:
• Separation of place and/or time between learners and learning
resources
• Interaction between learners and learning resources conducted
through one or more media
• Processes may employ a multiple set of deployment methods
in the learning experience, such as written correspondence
study, interactive audio and/or video, computer, and other
electronic technologies. Each of these may be used alone
or in combinations. Use of electronic media is not necessarily
required; technology is a tool to aid the delivery and
provision of learning opportunities.
• Processes may be synchronous occurring in real time or
“asynchronous” involving the access of learning resources
by learners at any time.

College or University Parallel Curricula
Many students have plans for completing four years of college
education in a senior college or university. At Phillips Community
College, these students have an opportunity to begin work which
will apply toward the completion of requirements for a major
field of study in a four-year institution. Advisors assist students
in the selection of courses leading to the proper sequences.
Students who plan to attend a particular college should consult
the catalog of that college for information concerning required
and elective courses. Graduates of Phillips Community College
who achieve good academic records are admitted readily to the
junior year of most four-year colleges and universities.
Occupational Curricula
Technological advances during recent years have greatly influenced
modern society at work and in the home. Technical
knowledge and skills are changing at a rapid rate as business and
industry become even more complex.
Along with this rapid expansion of technical knowledge comes
a multitude of new opportunities not imagined in earlier years.
This explosion of technology is demanding a supply of many
more technically competent people to fill the newly created positions.
Those who will enter the work force must be educated and
trained. Those who are already on the job must be continuously
upgraded and updated in their knowledge and skills.
The career pathway of the two-year occupational programs are
designed to provide the technical knowledge and skills necessary
for successful employment at a semi-professional level within
various fields of business and industry. The broad technical
experience provided, along with the required mathematics
and science, should give individuals the necessary technical
foundation and flexibility to adapt to the ever-changing world
of technology.
In an effort to serve the total community and its wide range of
educational needs, Phillips Community College also developed
a selected number of career pathways which are one year certificate
programs. These selected programs are to be preparatory
in nature and designed for those students wishing to further
their education within a specific occupational area for future
employment.
A number of short-term courses are offered as evening classes
for those wishing to update themselves in their present field
of work. These courses are offered on the basis of community
need, interest, availability of qualified instructors, equipment
and budget limitation.
Academic Skills Curricula
For students who come to Phillips Community College with
a lack of the basic academic skills necessary to do satisfactory
college level studies, the college offers an academic skills curriculum.
Students who correct academic deficiencies through
such courses will be encouraged to continue their studies in
other college programs.
The Academic Skills Department also operates a computer lab
to assist students with instruction designed to improve existing
skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Community Services and Continuing Education
Community Service has become widely recognized as a major
function of Phillips Community College. Through Community
Service and Continuing Education Programs individuals have
opportunities to participate in educational, cultural, professional
and recreational services. The host of Community Service and
related programs are designed to provide:
1. Continuing education opportunities for individuals wanting
to upgrade their present skills or explore new occupational
opportunities.
2. Cultural and community enrichment programs for the individual
or groups seeking to enhance the quality of community
life.
3. Resources for business, industry and professional groups
needing to supplement their own training and development
programs.
4. Adult education opportunities for individuals wanting to
continue their education on an elementary or high school level,
or prepare for a High School Equivalency Diploma Examination.
Programs are offered throughout the year to meet community
needs as they arise. These may be in the form of short seminars,
semester-long classes or extended certificate or diploma
curricula.
In addition to Community Service and Continuing Education
classes, the College extends other services to the community.
Through the college, personnel are available to serve as speakers
for business, professional, civic, service, educational, social, and
other groups. Additionally, college facilities are made available
at no cost to community groups when the need arises.
Community Service and Continuing Education classes are open
to all persons. There are no educational prerequisites which a
person must satisfy.
Adult Education
The Adult Education program is designed to allow students
over the age of sixteen who have not completed high school
studies the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to pass
the General Educational Development (GED) test or to meet
other educational goals. The Adult Education/Learning Skills
Department offers two components in this curricula:
1. Adult Basic Education (ABE) to teach basic literacy in reading,
language skills, and math.
2. Adult Secondary Education (ASE) to teach the reading, English
and math skills necessary to pass the GED test.
Both components (ABE & ASE) of the program incorporate
life skills and counseling services necessary for the growth and
development of the adult learner.

NURSING (ADN) (NGR.AAS D•H•S)
The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program
is approved by the Arkansas State Board
of Nursing and accredited by the National
League for Nursing Accrediting Commission
(NLNAC). Program graduates are eligible to
submit an application to write the National
Council Licensing Examination for Registered
Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Applicants should be
aware that violation of any federal, state, or
local drug law or conviction of a crime may
preclude licensure as a registered nurse. The
Arkansas State Board of Nursing requires a
state and federal criminal background check
before processing an application for initial
licensure. Clinical facilities also may require a
criminal background check and/or substance
abuse test as a condition of clinical practice in
the respective facility.

State Board of Nursing may be contacted at:
University Tower Building, Suite 800

The curriculum focuses on nine major
concepts: nursing process, nursing roles,
nursing behaviors, needs, health, stress,
development, client, and communication.
Students are introduced to all concepts in
an overview course and develop a more indepth
understanding of these concepts across
the curriculum. The role of the nurse as a
provider and manager of care as well as a
member of the profession is stressed. Those
nursing behaviors that assist clients to alleviate
or cope with stress as well as therapeutic
interventions that support, restore, or promote
health are emphasized. The use of therapeutic
communication and evidence-based practice
are essential components of the nursing process
that are used to meet Maslow’s Human Needs
Hierarchy for clients of all developmental and
chronological ages.

GUARANTEE ADMISSION TO THE
ADN PROGRAM.
All students who meet minimum admission
criteria will be accepted unless the number of
qualified applicants exceeds space available.
In this case, the selection process will be
implemented, and admission will become
competitive. Students are admitted every
August to the Helena-West Helena campus
and every even year to DeWitt and every odd
year to Stuttgart campuses.
Selection Process
1. Qualified applicants will be ranked according
to the total number of quality points earned
in required nursing program support courses
that may be applied toward the AAS degree.
(major code and campus offered are listed after name of degree)

A maximum of 132 quality points is possible.
Students who have received college credit
through CLEP for a course required for
the ADN program will be given quality
points equivalent to a course grade of “A”
for ranking purposes.
2. When two or more applicants have an equal
number of quality points in required courses,
applicants will be admitted according to the
date and time the application was received
in the nursing department office on the
Helena-West Helena campus.
3. Course quality points will be calculated
based on PCCUA nursing curriculum
support course requirements that may be
applied toward the AAS degree. Example:
An approved four hour computer course
will be calculated as a three hour course.
4. Quality points for repeated courses will
be determined by the most recent grade
with two quality points subtracted for each
repetition.
5. In addition to earned quality points, points
will be added for ACT scores as follows:
Composite score of 19-22 = 2 points,
23-28 = 4 points, 29 and above = 6
points.
6. Students not initially selected will be placed
on a waiting list in order of total points
accrued. Spaces that become available prior
to the first day of fall classes will be filled
from the waiting list.
Applicants not selected for admission and/or
applicants who elect not to enroll in the fall
nursing class must repeat the application
process that includes submitting a new
application to the ADN Program.
