Institutional Disclosures and Advertising and Recruitment Materials The College Relations office is responsible for the College’s advertising. For the most part, publications reference WNCC’s accreditation status with The Higher Learning Commission, including that organization’s address and telephone number. Although the institution includes the affiliation in most public hardcopy documents and on the website, it is not currently appearing in all student publications, such as on the At-A-Glance program brochures. Starting in the fall of 2009, program-specific materials will also contain an accreditation statement and contact information. Information about services and statements of affiliation with the HLC, as well as materials related to other sources of information relating to college choice and selection, along with College policies relating to the disclosure of confidential data, can be found in the following documents: Table 4-13 Accreditation and College Attendance Statements Statement of non-discriminatory policies and HLC accreditation, including contact information for HLC OR Statement declaring HLC accreditation, including contact information for HLC WNCC Catalog Cougar View packet Career Academies Handbook Dual Credit Guidelines Handbook Adjunct Faculty Handbook Faculty and Staff Handbook WNCC website under About WNCC link Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Disability Services WNCC Catalog (page 42) Equal Opportunity statement on all syllabi Cougar View packet (page 10) Satisfactory Academic Progress WNCC Catalog (page 31) Student Planner (page 3) Athletic Handbook (attachment of NJCAA Eligibility Rules, Article V, from the current NJCAA Handbook Attendance Policy Student Planner 2009-2010 (page 11) WNCC Catalog (page 61) Individual course syllabi or course outlines Student Athlete Handbook (10) Cost of Attendance Cougar View packet (handout insert) WNCC Catalog (page 25) IPEDS information on COOL website National Center for Educational Statistics site Western Nebraska Community College Page 41
Contractual Relationships WNCC facilitates the delivery of online courses in transcription from Career Step, LLC, based in Provo, Utah. Career Step is registered under the Utah Postsecondary Proprietary School Act (Title 13, chapter 34, Utah Code) and has received formal approval from the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI). A diploma is available with successful completion of the course of study. WNCC does not grant credit or any certificate, diploma, or degree for the work, and the College is clear to distinguish coursework in the College’s Health Information Technology program from the facilitated classes. WNCC has agreed to facilitate truck-driver training offered by the SAGE Corporation, headquartered at Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. All training and any certification or award related to the completion of the training will rest with the Sage Corporation, and WNCC provides no credit or transcripted coursework for program completion. Relationship with Other Accrediting Agencies and With State Regulatory Bodies Western Nebraska Community College’s regional accreditation is with The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.
