For safety reasons, smoking will only be allowed in personal vehicles on the Brockton and Canton campuses and in one designated area at each campus (between lots 2 & 3 in Brockton and adjacent to Lot 3 in Canton). (Updated on March 19, 2012). The policy will be communicated to all members of the campus community. The College’s Smoking/ Tobacco Policy will be included in formal orientation for all incoming students and employees and posted on the College website. In addition, all supervisors and department heads will communicate the Smoking/Tobacco Policy to everyone within their area of responsibility. SOLICITATION POLICY Commercial ventures are not permitted to operate or solicit on College property. The posting of advertisements on college property is subject to the College’s Bulletin Board Policy. College offices and committees appointed by the President of the College may conduct fundraising activities, which are directly related to their functional purposes. Materials produced for the promotion of the event must bear the name of the sponsoring office or committee. GENERAL INFORMATION ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT For the purposes of course and program advising, each day student enrolled in a degree program is assigned an academic advisor by the Advisement & Counseling Center. Whenever possible, a student is matched to a faculty member who teaches in his/her program or a related one. Students are encouraged to consult their advisors at any point in their academic career which involves a decision concerning choice of courses, programs and transfers to other institutions. Each semester during a designated advising period, students meet with their advisors to register for the next semester. Students can also seek academic advisement year round through the Advisement and Counseling Center. Students may make day or evening appointments at any point during their academic career. Massasoit Community College regards the advisement process as one of the critical vehicles of communication between the College and the student. ACADEMIC DEGREES The Board of Higher Education has statutory authority to confer Associate Degrees to the individual community colleges. Upon recommendation of the faculty, those candidates who qualify may be awarded the degree of Associate in Arts (A.A.), the degree of Associate in Science (A.S.), or the degree of Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.). The Certificate is awarded to students who take a concentration of thirty credits in career courses. 51
ACADEMIC GOOD STANDING & PROGRESS TOWARDS A DEGREE The cumulative GPA (Grade point average) is the total of all Quality Points acquired divided by the total number of semester hours attempted. Students will be considered to be in Good Standing if they maintain a cumulative GPA as indicated. 1.0 upon completion of 1-15 total semester hours 1.6 upon completion of 16-30 total semester hours 1.75 upon completion of 31-45 total semester hours 2.0 upon completion of over 45 total semester hours Withdrawal’s, Incomplete’s, Audit’s and Passing grades are not completed courses. The minimum cumulative GPA for graduation is 2.0. Students who are not in Good Standing will be placed on Academic Probation for one semester. Students receiving financial aid are also required by government regulations to comply with additional standards. See Financial Aid. A matriculated part-time student’s progress toward a degree will be evaluated along the same guidelines as those of a full-time student’s progress. ACADEMIC PROBATION See “Academic Good Standing and Progress Toward a Degree” to determine status. Students who are on Academic Probation are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor. The purpose in meeting with the counselor is to consider one or more of the following options: (1) a reduction or change in the student’s intended course selection for the next probationary semester; (2) a reduction or change in intended work plans for the next semester; (3) tutoring; (4) academic assistance program, LATCH; (5) a program of regular, periodic meetings with the student’s new instructors, counselor, and/or faculty advisor; and, (6) career reassessment program. Lastly, if applicable, the student may finish his/her incomplete course work and possibly bring his/her academic record back into Good Standing before the beginning of the next semester. After one semester of Academic Probation, the student will be: 1. Removed from Academic Probation if the cumulative grade point average is raised to or above that required to attain Good Standing status; 2. Continued on Academic Probation if the probationary semester’s grade point average is 2.25 or 52
