D O Ñ A A N A C O M M U N I T Y C O L L E G E 22 GPA of 2.0 or higher, and the cumulative remains below 2.0 GPA, while under Probation II will be placed on Suspension. Transfer students. Students (admitted under special provisions) whose transcripts indicate less than a 2.0 GPA are admitted on Academic Probation I. Continuing in probationary status. Students may continue to enroll while on Academic Probation I or II provided they maintain a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher. They are continued on that same level of Academic Probation if they withdraw from the university while on Academic Probation. Removal of Academic Probation. Such academic standing is removed when the cumulative GPA is raised to 2.0 or higher, with the following exceptions:(1) a transfer student may not remove probation by summer work alone;(2) if an I grade is removed after the student has enrolled, the new grade’s effect on academic standing is based on its inclusion with grades for the term for which the student is enrolled;(3) exercise of the Adjusted Credit Option does not change academic status until subsequent grades are earned. Academic Suspension. When a student does not achieve a semester 2.0 GPA or higher, and the cumulative remains below a 2.0 while under Academic Probation II, the student is placed on Academic Suspension. Students under Academic Suspension are not allowed to take NMSU courses while under suspension. Students on Academic Suspension must sit out a minimum of 1 semester and then petition the Provost to be removed from Academic Suspension. At this time the suspension status will be evaluated for possible removal. Should the suspension be lifted, the student is placed on Academic Probation II until such time that the cumulative GPA equals or exceeds a 2.0. At the discretion of the Provost, the student will enter into a contract approved by the Provost and the student’s Dean or CAO setting stipulations to have the suspension removed. Failure to adhere to the contract will return the student to Academic Suspension. Under certain conditions, a student may be re-admitted at NMSU under regular status while under Academic Suspension when satisfactory progress has been demonstrated at another college or university (see p2 Undergraduate Catalog). Credits earned at another university or college while under Academic Suspension from NMSU or another university or college, will be accepted at NMSU only after the student demonstrates satisfactory progress over a period of two semesters after being re-admitted or admitted to NMSU. Acceptance of transfer credits that count toward degree requirements is still governed by the rules established by the student’s respective college or campus. Effect of summer attendance. Students suspended at the close of the spring semester may have their Academic Suspension rescinded if they attend one or both of the following summer sessions at NMSU or one of its branch colleges. Such attendance must raise the combined spring semester and summer GPA to 2.0 or better. A certification of eligibility to attend summer sessions at NMSU after a spring semester Academic Suspension is available to the suspended student who wishes to attend summer sessions at other institutions. Privacy Rights The following information has been designated as directory information and is subject to release to the public under Public Law 98-380, The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974: student’s name, address, E-mail address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, classification, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. Other information regarding disclosure of student data is posted in the DACC Student Services area in compliance with the Act. Requests for withholding directory information must be filed in writing with the NMSU Registrar’s Office by the third Friday of class. Social Security Numbers in Student Records Social security numbers are collected from prospective and current students who wish to be employed on campus or apply for financial aid. Such students are required by law to provide their social security number for administrative use. Further, the university is mandated by federal tax regulations to provide tuition and fee payment information to the student and the Internal Revenue Service, so that applicable educational tax credits may be computed. The social security number will be necessary to submit this tax reporting. The social security number is a confidential record and is maintained as such by the university in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Graduation Requirements The ultimate responsibility for planning an academic program in compliance with university, college, and departmental/program requirements rests with the student. Students planning to graduate must clear all of their accounts with the DACC Cashiers Office. Delinquent accounts due to outstanding balances for tools, books, and personal materials should be cleared in the community college’s Cashiers Office, DAMA 118. Graduation with Honors The requirements for designation as a Crimson Scholar Graduate or a Centennial Scholar Graduate are listed in the sections on these programs. The designation Meritorious Graduate is awarded to the top 15 percent of the students receiving associate degrees within each college in any one academic year, provided 45 or more credits have been completed at NMSU or DACC. To Graduate with a Certificate Students must successfully complete the total program as outlined in the course catalog. Any incomplete grade must be made up before the student is awarded the certificate. A certificate fee of $10 is to be paid at the DACC Cashier’s Office, DAMA 118. To Graduate with an Associate Degree To earn an associate degree, students must complete a minimum of 66 semester credits and have an average of two grade points per credit in all courses taken at NMSU or any of its branches (individual programs may have other GPA requirements); however, English 111G, Rhetoric and Composition, and basic skills courses in mathematics must be completed with a grade of C or better. In addition, the last 15 semester credits for an associate degree must be taken in residence at NMSU or DACC. Filing Notice of Degree Candidacy Students are required to file an application for a certificate or associate degree and pay the graduation fee for each degree sought. This fee ($10 for a certificate; $20 for an associate degree) must be paid by the end of the semester or session in which the candidate anticipates completing degree requirements. These fees may be paid at the DACC Cashiers Office in room 118. If degree requirements are not completed during the semester or session for which the student
paid the fee, the student must reapply and pay any additional fees that may apply. Student applications for the associate degree and certificate are available at the DACC Registration Desk. A $25 late fee applies to degree applications received after the first day of classes, and no applications will be accepted after the last day to withdraw with a W. A student may specify choice of either the current catalog at the time of admittance or a subsequent catalog, provided the selected catalog is not more than six years old when (s)he satisfies the requirements for graduation. In all other cases, the student will be subject to the current catalog. The latest date for substitution or waiver of required courses for candidates for degrees is two weeks after the last date of registration for regular or summer terms. All fees and bills owed the university must be paid before a student may receive a diploma or transcript of credits. Graduation fees must be paid as listed in the section, “Tuition and Fees.” Transcript of Credits Recognition of degrees earned is made on the official transcript (academic record) for students completing all requirements for an associate degree. The charge for official transcripts is $3.00. No transcript of credits will be released if the student is in debt to the university. Official name changes on transcripts will be processed only if a student is currently enrolled and a written request was submitted. Attendance at Commencement DACC certifies eligibility to participate in commencement exercises for students planning to receive an associate degree or a certificate. DACC holds its own commencement exercises, apart from those conducted by New Mexico State University. Eligible candidates for degrees as well as certificates are encouraged to participate in the commencement ceremony. Students wishing to participate in spring commencement prior to completing degree requirements in the following summer session should call 527-7530 for specific requirements. A Note About Occupational Education Courses Students planning to pursue a four-year degree at New Mexico State University after completing their studies at DACC need to be aware that not all occupationaleducation courses taken at DACC (usually those with the “OE-” prefix) will apply toward a given major at NMSU. The number of DACC credits that may be counted toward a four-year degree depends on the major selected and any agreements providing for the acceptance of occupational-education courses. Programs already having such agreements are called “transition” programs, and are listed on page 21. It is best for students to consult advisers at both DACC and NMSU early in their associate degree program to insure that the maximum number of credits will apply toward the bachelor’s degree program selected. General Studies Developmental/College Studies Courses Developmental Studies courses help students develop basic skills for entry into college-level courses. They are identified by an “N” that appears after the course number. Developmental Studies courses are included on the transcript and will be calculated in the academic grade point average, but do not count toward a degree. On the other hand, College Studies courses do carry academic credit and are designed to help students acquire the attitudes and strategies necessary for college success. Students’ placement in developmental studies courses will be determined by one or more of the following instruments: ACT assessment, ACT-COMPASS, and locally developed tests. Students must achieve a C or better in courses with “CCD-” prefixes to continue with the next course. Course Descriptions Course descriptions appear near the end of this catalog and are listed by course prefix (the letters appearing before a course number). The various prefixes represent different areas of study as shown: CCDE: Developmental English CCDL: Developmental Language (ESL) CCDM: Developmental Mathematics CCDR: Developmental Reading CCDS: Developmental Skills COLL: College Studies General Education Courses General education courses taught at DACC are lower-division, university-level courses that are the same as those taught at NMSU. They are identified by the “G” that appears after the course number. In addition to meeting DACC graduation requirements, they may also be used to meet requirements for bachelor’s degree programs at NMSU. DACC students are given priority in enrollment for general education courses taught at the Central and East Mesa campuses. During the 2007-2008 academic year, the priority enrollment period will end two weeks prior to the beginning of each semester or summer session. NMSU students may enroll in these courses after the priority enrollment period has ended. 2 0 0 7 - 2 0 0 8 C A TA L O G 23
