ACHIEVING ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Academic Advising
Academic advisors will assist you in identifying your education and career goals,
developing a schedule of classes, and establishing an individualized Student
Education Plan (SEP). They will provide you with discipline-specific information
that includes the sequence of courses necessary for graduation or transfer as well
as information on career and employment. Assessment scores and school
transcripts are necessary for your first advising appointments.
Once you have completed 15 units of college credit you are required to have a
completed SEP on file, which should be updated every semester. If you are a
student athlete and/or receive financial aid, you must have an SEP on file to
maintain eligibility. Academic Advisors monitor your progress on an ongoing
basis.
Academic Advising for Student Athletes
If you are a student athlete, academic advisors will provide you with discipline
specific information that includes the sequence of courses necessary for
graduation or transfer. They will also assist in providing a clear outlook of career
and employment opportunities in your major or interest area. Once you have
completed 15 units of college credit you are required to have a completed Student
Education Plan (SEP) on file for your declared major to maintain eligibility. The
SEP should be updated every semester.
Since most student athletes are uncertain of their transfer destination until their
final semester of attendance, advising concerning course selection is critical. If you
are prepared for college level coursework during your first semester, advising will
focus on a transferrable transcript to a wide variety of colleges and universities.
Academic advisors work closing with coaches and the Athletic Department
regarding NCAA I, NCAA II and NAIA transfer eligibility requirements.
Student Responsibility for Programs and Classes
16
Final selection of classes and completion of program requirements are your
responsibility. FRC staff will make every effort to assist you in planning a
program of study to meet your academic goal.
You are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance
established for each class in which you are enrolled.

Student Education Plan (SEP)
MAP OUT YOUR FUTURE!
What is a Student Education Plan?
It is a plan you develop in cooperation with an academic advisor describing
your academic and career related goals.
The plan includes setting up a list of classes needed each semester in order
to meet your career, degree, and/or transfer goal.
The plan also includes referrals to college services, if necessary, to assist
you in meeting your goals.
Who needs to make a Student Education Plan?
Everyone should make an education plan.
The plan helps clarify your reason for attending FRC and sets the path for
meeting intended goals.
Why is it important to make a Student Education Plan?
It helps avoid wasting time and money on taking unnecessary courses.
It helps in choosing the right courses for transfer and make transferring to
another college less of a hassle.
It helps in planning, evaluating and selecting a career that will be right for
you.
Remember, any plan you make now is NOT carved in stone;
it can be changed and modified as your goals change.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
You are considered to be maintaining satisfactory progress when your grade point
average (GPA) is 2.0 or higher. Special satisfactory progress requirements exist if
you are a financial aid recipient, EOPS student, veteran, and/or student athlete. It
is your responsibility to understand and maintain all course and academic

Enrollment & Academic Requirements
Below are major enrollment and academic procedures and requirements. It is
important to understand and carry out these procedures and requirements to
ensure academic success.
Adding Classes
You may add classes to their semester class schedule by the deadlines
published in the Academic Calendar.
You may add classes through your Student Portal (MyFRC).
You should speak with your Academic Advisor to ensure that the classes
meet your academic goal.
Dropping Classes
There are two dates for dropping classes (see the Academic Calendar).
Classes dropped by the first date will not be recorded on your transcript.
Classes dropped by the second date appear as a “W” on your transcript
indicating official withdrawal from the course.
You may drop classes through your Student Portal (MyFRC).
You should speak with your Academic Advisor before dropping a class.
20
INSTRUCTORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY DROP STUDENTS WHO DO NOT
ATTEND CLASS. KNOW THE DEADLINES AND PROTECT YOUR GPA!
IF YOU NEED HELP, SEE YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR.
Withdrawal from College
To officially withdraw from all college classes prior to the end of a semester,
you must complete an Official Withdrawal form.
All college property (i.e. books and equipment) must be returned and any
outstanding financial obligation to the college must be paid before your FRC
transcripts will be released.
Official Withdrawal forms are available online at
http://www.frc.edu/admissionsandrecords/
IMPORTANT! Ceasing to attend classes does not constitute official withdrawal.
Failure to officially withdraw from classes following the procedure outlined above
may result in “FW” grade being recorded on college transcripts, which is equivalent
to an “F.”
Military Withdrawal from College
If you are a member of an active or reserve U.S. military service and receive orders
compelling a withdrawal from courses, you may withdraw at any time during the

semester and qualify for full refund of enrollment fees for any classes for which
academic credit has not been awarded. You must complete an Official Withdrawal
form and must verify your military orders.
Class Attendance - Regular attendance promotes success!
You are expected to attend all sessions of each class in which you are
enrolled.
If you do not attend the first two meetings of any class in which you are
enrolled without prior notification to the instructor, you may be dropped
without notice.
Instructors set an attendance policy for each class and have the option of
including attendance as a grading criterion.
It is your responsibility to know and comply with class attendance policies.
Absence Due to Illness
You should notify your instructors if you are unable to attend classes due to
illness.
It is your responsibility to make arrangements with your instructors to
complete missed coursework.
Limitation of Course Load
You may enroll for a maximum of 19 units per semester.
To exceed this maximum, you must obtain the prior approval of the Chief
Student Services Officer by completing the Petition to Enrollment in More
Than 19 Units form.
This form is available online at http://www.frc.edu/admissionsandrecords/.
Submit the completed form to the Student Services Office.
Overlapping Classes
You may not enroll in classes or labs that have overlapping meeting times.
Requests for exemptions to this rule must be submitted on the Overlapping
Classes form to the instructors involved and to the Chief Instructional
Officer.
Overlapping Classes forms are available online at
http://www.frc.edu/admissionsandrecords/.
Course Repetition
You are permitted to repeat a course when:
The course in question may be repeated for credit.
See your academic advisor for details.
A substandard grade (D, F, W, NP) has been received.
The new grade will be used in grade point calculation and considerations
21

22
associated with the awarding of certificates or degrees. The previously
recorded grade will remain legible on permanent records.
Under special circumstances in which a C or better grade was earned.
Special circumstances may include a long lapse between the time the
class was first taken and the present, or the need to achieve a higher
grade to qualify for entrance into a program. The new grade will be noted
on permanent records. The originally recorded grade will be used to
calculate grade point average and in considerations associated with the
awarding of certificates or degrees.
Students wishing to repeat a course under these provisions must file a
Petition to Repeat a Course with the Admissions and Records office prior to
enrollment.
Independent and Directed Study
Independent Study is designed for students who, due to special
circumstances, cannot attend a class as regularly scheduled.
Directed Study is designed for students who wish to take additional
coursework in a field of study after having completed the sufficient courses
within that field of study as determined by the faculty member in the
discipline and approved by the Chief Instruction Officer.
You must petition for independent and directed study courses by meeting
collaboratively with the instructor of the course to complete a study contract.
The instructor will forward the contract to the Instruction Office for approval
and the assignment of a course registration number (CRN).
The instructor will contact you when approve has been obtained.
Once approval has been obtained, you can then enroll in the course
through the Student Portal (MyFRC).
Grading System and Structure
At the beginning of each course, your instructors will outline their course
objectives and explain the basis upon which grades will be determined.
Evaluation of your achievement in each course will be made in relation to
your attainment of those course objectives.
Semester grades are usually posted by individual instructors within a week
following final exams. You may check your grades on the Student Portal
(MyFRC).
The determination of your grade by the instructor shall be final in the
absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence (Education Code, Section
76224)
If you want to challenge or appeal a grade, it must be done through the

Student Rights and Grievances procedure (AP5530) as outlined in the
Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, which is available on line at
www.frc.edu/studentservices/. The challenge of a grade needs to be made
within one year of receipt of the grade.
The FRC grading structure is as follows:
Grade Grade points per unit
A Excellent 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ Good 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ Satisfactory 2.3
C 2.0
D+ Passing 1.3
D 1.0
F Failing 0
FW Failing Withdrawal 0
Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation
Your GPA is one measure of your academic success and can be calculated using
the following steps.
Step 1:
Write down the grade received and units earned for each course.
Check the chart above for the grade points assigned to each grade.
Multiply the earned units by the grade point.
Total the earned units and overall grade points
Course Grade Units x Grade Points Overall GPA
Engl 101 A- 3 3.7 11.1
Math 10 B- 4 2.7 10.8
Hist 108 C 3 2.0 6.0
HES 135 A 1 4.0 4.0
Humn 128 B 3 3.0 9.0
TOTAL 14 40.9
Step 2:
23

Divide the overall grade points by the units to determine the GPA for that individual
semester.
Overall Grade points Units = GPA
40.9 14 2.92
GPA is computed on an individual semester basis and on a cumulative basis that
includes all work completed at Feather River College. At the time of graduation,
grades received for college-level work at other institutions will be calculated and
included in an overall GPA.
For further assistance in calculating your GPA go to:
www.back2college.com/gpa.htm
The following designations are not included in computing grade point averages
(GPA), but may be used in determining progress probation and dismissal.
P Pass
NP No pass
I Incomplete
IP In progress (class extends beyond term)
RD Report delayed (instructor has not submitted grade)
W Withdrawal
Pass / No Pass
Students who do not wish to receive a letter grade may enroll in 3 units (or in one
class exceeding 3 units) per semester on a Pass / No Pass basis.
P = Credit will be awarded for work equivalent to a grade of “C” or better
NP = No Credit will be given for “D” or “F” work.
Courses in your major may not be taken on a P/NP basis.
A maximum of 12 units of P/NP grades may be applied toward
completion of the Associate Degree.
Courses with P/NP grades may not be accepted by transfer institutions.
P/NP grades are not computed in the GPA calculation, but a NP grade
will record as units attempted in determining progress probation and
dismissal.
Once the P/NP change is filed, the designation may not be converted to
a letter grade.
You can file for P/NP through the Student Portal. Click on the “Student” tab,
“Registration,” and “Change Class Options.” You must file by the deadline
listed in the Academic Calendar.
Incomplete Grades
24

An incomplete grade of “I” may be given in the event of an unforeseen emergency
or justifiable reason if you cannot complete all requirements of a course in the
designated time period.
You can request an incomplete grade by submitting a Request for
Incomplete Grade form with Admissions and Records. This form is a
contract between you and your instructor that outlines the conditions you
must meet to receive a final grade and a deadline for completion. The form
is kept on file in the Admissions and Records Office.
An incomplete grade should be made up by the date designated by the
instructor, but in no case later than one year from the end of the semester
during which the agreement was filed.
If the conditions of the request are not met within one year, the “I” grade will
be changed to the grade indicated by the instructor on the form, or an “F”
grade will be recorded if the instructor has not indicated otherwise.
When coursework has been completed, the instructor will assign the
appropriate grade on a Request for Grade Change form and submit it to the
Admissions and Records Office. The incomplete grade will be replaced with
the appropriate final grade and will be recorded on your transcript.
Transcripts
Transcripts reflect the official grade for all courses you have taken at FRC. Official
transcripts may be requested from Admissions and Records or through the Student
Portal (MyFRC). Transcripts will not be released until all college property is
returned and outstanding debts paid.
Official Transcript requests may be made by:
Using the Student Portal “request printed transcripts.”
Downloading a Transcript Request form from www.frc.edu and submitting it
to Admissions and Records.
Completing a Transcript Request form in Admission and Records.
Fees for Official Transcripts:
The first two official transcripts are free (does not apply to Rush or Faxed
transcripts).
Additional transcripts cost $5.00 each.
Rush or Faxed transcripts (available next working day) cost $10.00 each.
Unofficial Transcripts can be viewed and printed through the Student Portal
25

(MyFRC). Faxed transcripts are also considered unofficial.
Student Records and Privacy

accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974 (FERPA). Copies of FERPA are available at the Admissions and Records
Office. All rights apply equally to currently enrolled and former students.
Right to Review and Challenge

records related to you. If you wish to inspect or challenge your records, you must
make a request in writing to the Chief Instruction Officer.

Distance Education/Online Courses
FRC offers several courses online through a teleconferencing system and by
correspondence. Most of the courses are taught through the Internet. Some are
“hybrid” courses, which mean they are taught through a combination of face-to-face
instruction and distance education delivery.
Online courses may be delivered through the Feather River College web site for
distance education at www.frc-online.com, or through a web site provided by the
company that supplies the textbook for your course. Contact your instructor for
information. Your instructor’s email address is: the first initial of their first name,
plus their last name, plus @frc.edu, i.e. mjones@frc.edu for Mary Jones.
Should I Take A Distance Education Course?
There are two main issues to consider. First, do you have the skills and
technology needed to handle the way the course is being delivered? Although
minimal computer and internet experience is needed for most online courses, you
will need to be comfortable with basic tasks like sending emails and email
attachments, browsing the internet, and downloading files. You’ll also need to know
how to use a word processor (like Microsoft Word) and possibly other programs
depending on the course. Of course, you will need access to a computer and a
reliable internet connection.
Second, will you have the time and focus to complete a distance education
courses? Distance education courses can be more time consuming than regular
courses, and you may have distractions or responsibilities at home. Will you
regularly have a block of time at home to keep up with your course? Do you have
the personal discipline and motivation to do the work at home?
Tips for Online Course Success:
Do not underestimate the time required to successfully complete a distance
education course. The advantage of distance education courses is in your ability to
schedule when and where you do the work, not having less work.
Contact your instructor by email as soon as possible after you enroll in the course.
Obtain the assignments and due dates, and get started as soon as possible.
Plan regular times when you will work on your assignments, keeping in mind typical
distractions or responsibilities, and stick to your schedule.
Keep in touch with your instructor and the course activities. Check email and the
course web site at least once a day if possible.
32

Accessing Online Courses Through Moodle
From on campus: You can access your online course from campus computers by

Setting Up Your Moodle Account:
Once you access the main page for online courses using one of the methods
above:
Click on “create a new account” – it is on the upper right hand side of the
page.
For your Username we recommend that you use your FRC Network
Username.
Your Password must be at least 8 characters long, must have at least 1
digit, must have at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter and must
have at least 1 non-alphanumeric character such as ?,*,&, -, %.
You should use your FRC email in the boxes requesting an email address
because you cannot access non-FRC email accounts from campus
computers.
After all information is input, press “create my new account.”
You will then need to open your FRC email. There will be an email from
“administration.” Open this email and click on the confirmation link
provided. Once that is done, you can access your online courses.
IMPORTANT: If you have not received an Enrollment Key from your instructor,
you should email that instructor and ask them to send you the information.
Remember, your instructor’s email address is the first initial of their first name, plus
their last name, plus @frc.edu, i.e. mjones@frc.edu for Mary Jones.

Student Trustee ........................ Pearl Burfiend
ASFRC HAS THREE ESSENTIAL DUTIES
Student Representation Provide Student Activities Oversee Student Clubs
All students at the college are automatically members of the ASFRC, are invited to
all ASFRC activities, and are encouraged to attend the open ASFRC meetings (the
meeting schedule is posted at the ASFRC office).
Student Representation
The student body is organized into a self-governing body known as the
Associated Students of Feather River College, or ASFRC. This body is an
integral part of the college community that is recognized by the
Superintendent/President and the Board of Trustees of the District, and functions
under the Associated Students Constitution; copies are available at the AS Office.
Associate Student elections for executive officers are traditionally held in the
spring, with supplemental elections for senators and committee representatives in
the fall.
The ASFRC is an important component of the college’s shared governance
structure. Under shared governance, members of the different groups that makeup
the college community—students, classified staff, faculty, and administrators—are
involved through campus committees in the process by which policies are made
and college actions are determined. AS officers serve on these committees and
are responsible for bringing committee information back to the AS government
meetings for input.

Student Activities
ASFRC sponsors a variety of extra and cocurricular
activities designed to reflect the
interests of a diverse student population. The
ASFRC organization plans entertaining and
educational events such as cultural and
social awareness programs, special topic
presentations, dances, dinners, concerts and
recreational activities.
Student Clubs
Student clubs are open to all students and provide an opportunity to pursue special
interests with those who share them. Clubs vary from year to year depending on
student interests and their formation is actively encouraged. Clubs are required to
have a club advisor (usually an FRC faculty or staff member), and must file for a
club charter with the Associate Students. At least one club member is expected to
attend ASFRC meetings on a regular basis to promote cooperative and
coordinated activity planning among the various campus organizations. ASFRC is
proud to support the various student clubs to help students get the most out of their
college experience.
Some of the current clubs include:
Students in Free Enterprise – Focuses on community outreach
and entrepreneurship along with ethics and personal success skills.
Club Advisor: Amy Bagley-Schulz, email – aschulz@frc.edu.
Art Club - Students who enjoy creativity and want to interact with
other creative students, check out the Art Club. All interested students,
artists or non-artists, are welcome. Club Advisor: Dianne Lipscomb,
