If an emergency should occur,Wallace Campus students are to contact the Office of the Director1-800-543-2426 28 www.wallace.edu

of Enrollment Services/Registrar at 334-556-2470, and SparksCampus students should contact the Student Affairs Office at 334-687-3543, Ext. 4282, prior to the fifth day of a term. Students atother College locations should contact the designated Collegeofficial.INELIGIBILITY FOR REFUNDStudents who are withdrawn by the College for disciplinaryreasons, non-payment of charges, or other similar reasons are noteligible for a refund.GENERALTITLE IV REFUNDSWhen a Pell and/or SEOG grant recipient completely withdrawsfrom the College, the Business Office must determine the amountof the grant(s) that the student earned as of the student’swithdrawal date.The student’s date of withdrawal is either of the following dates:1. The date, as determined by the College, that the student beganthe withdrawal process prescribed by the College.2. The date, as determined by the College, that the studentotherwise provided official notification to the College, inwriting or verbally, of his or her intent to withdraw.Note: If the student ceases attendance without providing officialnotification to the College, the midpoint of the payment periodor the last date of an academically related activity in which thestudent participated is used as the date of withdrawal .CALCULATION OF EARNED TITLE IV ASSISTANCEThe amount of Title IV assistance earned by the student iscalculated by dividing the number of days (total calendar days)attended by the total number of days (calendar days) in thepayment period. The total number of calendar days in a paymentperiod includes all days within the period, except scheduled breaksof at least five consecutive days, which are excluded from the totalnumber of calendar days in a payment period and the number ofcalendar days completed in that period. If the student’s withdrawaldate occurs after 60% of the payment period, none of the Title IVaid has to be returned. Otherwise the College, the student, or bothmust return a portion.RETURN OF UNEARNED AID—RESPONSIBILITY OFTHE COLLEGEThe College must return the lesser of the amount of Title IV fundsthat is not earned by the student; or the amount of institutionalcharges that the student incurred for the payment period multipliedby the percentage of funds that was not earned. The percentage notearned is determined by subtracting the percentage of Title IV aidearned from 100%. Because of this requirement by the UnitedStates Department of Education, the College Refund Policy doesnot apply to students who receive Title IV assistance. If a studentreceives a Pell and/or SEOG grant, regardless of who actually paidthe tuition and fees, the return or refund created by the withdrawalaccording to provisions will be made to the Pell and/or SEOGgrant programs subject to the maximum amount of the award forthe payment period. Therefore, no sponsoring agency that paystuition and fees (for a student who receives Pell and/or SEOGgrants) will receive a refund if the student withdraws from theCollege until all monies due the Pell and/or SEOG grant programshave been returned.RETURN OF UNEARNED AID—RESPONSIBILITY OFTHE STUDENTThe student will be held responsible for all unearned grant aid thatthe College is required to repay to the United States Departmentof Education. The initial amount of unearned Federal Student Aiddue from the student is determined by subtracting the amountreturned by the College from the total amount of unearned Title IVfunds to be returned. This is called the initial amount due from thestudent. The amount of grant overpayment due from a student islimited to the amount by which the original grant overpaymentexceeds half of the total Title IV grant funds disbursed and couldhave been disbursed to the student. If a student completelywithdraws or ceases to attend all classes before completing 60%of any term and has received Pell and/or SEOG grant funds—whether by check or charged tuition, fees, or books—and theCollege has to return any funds paid on behalf of the student, thestudent is responsible for repaying funds to the College.BOOKS AND SUPPLIESOTHER REFUNDSA student who drops or withdraws and has purchased returnablebooks and/or supplies from the College and returns the items withthe original purchase receipt in new or unused condition duringthe first 10 calendar days of the term will receive a full refund.After the first 10 calendar days of the term, supplies are nonreturnableregardless of condition.FINANCIAL AIDThe primary purpose of student financial assistance programs atWallace Community College is to assist students with meeting thecost of their education.

MINIMUM STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORYACADEMIC PROGRESSFINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORYACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICYAll students receiving financial aid under Title IV must meet thesame standards of student progress applicable to all students at theinstitution. The following policy became effective Fall 2011 inorder to meet the U.S. Department of Education regulations. Thispolicy is more detailed and requires a semester by semester review,including summer. The terms “warning” and “probation” are nowfor the first time defined in the federal regulations.Good StandingTo be in good standing, students must satisfy all of the followingelements of the policy:1. Successful Completion Ratio: Earn 67% or above ofcumulative credits attempted, combining all WallaceCollege, credits and all transfer credits accepted into thestudents program of study (including alldevelopmental/remedial credits);2. Cumulative Grade Point Average: Earn a cumulativegrade point average (cum GPA) as outlined in the WallaceCollege Standards of Academic Progress, based on thefollowing indicated points in the students program ofstudy:12 – 21 semester credit hours 1.50 Cumulative GPA22 – 32 semester credit hours 1.75 Cumulative GPA33 or more semester credit hours 2.00 Cumulative GPAThis element will be monitored by the Registrar’s Officeof the College. (See Grading System in the GeneralPolicies Section of the Catalog).3. Maximum Time Frame: Graduate within 150% of thenormal length for the student’s program, including allWallace College attempted credits and all transfer creditsaccepted into the student’s program of study.Successful Completion RatioThis standard requires students to successfully complete (withletter grade of A, B, C, D and S) a minimum of 67 % of the totalnumber of credits attempted. (For example, if the student hasattempted a total of 30 credits, they must successfully complete 20credits. [30 credits x .67 = 20 credits successfully completed].Attempted credits include all credits in which the student isregistered at the end of the add and drop period. Letter grades ofF, W, WF, U, or I will not be considered as credits successfullycompleted or earned. Students who repeat a course for any reasonshould be aware that each time they enroll in a course it counts asan attempt, but only one attempt is considered earned. Repeatedcourses will have an impact on the ability to complete a programwithin the required maximum time frame.Cumulative Grade Point Average (cum GPA)Students are required to earn a cumulative grade point average(cum GPA) based on the following indicated points in theirprogram of study:12 – 21 semester credit hours 1.50 Cumulative GPA22 – 32 semester credit hours 1.75 Cumulative GPA33 or more semester credit hours 2.00 Cumulative GPAMaximum Credit Review/PaceUnder this standard students must complete their degree orcertificate within 150% of the program length, including allWallace College attempted credits and all attempted transfercredits accepted into the student’s program of study. All attemptedcredits, including incomplete grades and repeats, are countedtoward the 150 % maximum time frame. Students who changetheir education program or graduate and reapply to a new programmust still adhere to the maximum credit policy. In other words,all of the students previous Wallace College-attempted credits andall attempted transfer credits will count toward the 150% timeframe. Consideration will be given to students completing a seconddegree or certificate. However, a degree audit must be requestedfrom the Registrar’s Office for the second degree or certificate.The student will be allowed to continue to receive federal financialaid for 150% of the normal length of the second program of studyminus hours transferred from the first program of study.Financial Aid WarningA student will be placed on warning if either one of the followingconditions is not met:• Successful Completion Ratio or• Cumulative Grade Point AverageStudents can continue to receive financial aid while on warning,even though they are not in good standing, with the understandingthat all the good standing criteria must be met at the end of thewarning term or they will be suspended.Financial Aid SuspensionA student who is not in Good Standing after the warning periodwill be ineligible for financial aid and will be placed on FinancialAid Suspension.

It is the student’s responsibilityto withdraw from individual courses or from the College; however,at mid-term, faculty members will identify students who haveapparently ceased attendance but have not completed thewithdrawal process. Students in courses that meet at least twiceper week will be reported if they have missed more than fiveconsecutive class meetings before mid-term. Students in coursesthat meet once per week will be reported if they have missed morethan 3 consecutive class meetings before mid-term. These studentswill be removed from the courses as an unofficial withdrawal andassigned a grade of W. Such students may petition the facultymembers for reentry into the courses and will be returned to thecourse rolls only with the approval of the faculty members. Inaddition, students will be responsible for repaying any portion ofunearned financial aid that results from their withdrawals.Likewise, students who cease to attend classes after mid-term butdo not initiate the withdrawal process will also be negativelyaffected by their actions.

If these students have notcompleted the withdrawal process by the established withdrawaldeadline, they will receive a failing grade for the courses. Facultymembers will assign a grade of WF to such students when theysubmit final course grades. These students also will be responsiblefor repayment of any unearned financial aid as a result of theirfailure to attend. Students who receive a grade of WF as a resultof instructor error will have the opportunity to petition theinstructor’s decision. Otherwise, the grade of WF is final.1-800-543-2426 45 www.wallace.edu

AGSC stands for the Alabama Articulation and General Studies Committee. The AGSC was created in March of 1994 by the StateLegislature through ACT 94-202. The AGSC was created to simplify the transfer of course credit between public institutions of highereducation. To accomplish this task, the AGSC has developed and implemented a statewide general studies and articulation program thatfacilitates the transferability of coursework among all Alabama public colleges and universities.The AGSC transfer guide (STARS Guide) for each public transfer institution in the State of Alabama should be used and is readilyavailable on the Internet by going to www.wallace.edu and clicking on STARS Guide System under the quick links or athttp://stars.troy.edu. From STARS, students can print a transfer guide for their major and enter into a binding contract with the transferinstitution in their program of study. The contract is not binding on the student but is binding on the transfer institution, provided thatthe student does not change majors and takes the courses listed on the transfer guide.UNIVERSITY-PARALLEL PROGRAMSWallace Community College Alabama General Studies Committee (AGSC) Approved Common Core CoursesAREA I: WRITTEN COMPOSITION (6 Credit Hours)ENG 101 English Composition IENG 102 English Composition IIAREA II: HUMANITIES AND FINE ARTS (12 Credit Hours)*Literature (3-6 credit hours)ENG 251 American Literature IENG 252 American Literature II ORENG 261 English Literature IENG 262 English Literature II ORENG 271 World Literature IENG 272 World Literature IIFine Arts (3 credit hours)ART 100 Art AppreciationART 203 Art History IART 204 Art History IIMUS 101 Music AppreciationSpeech (3 credit hours)SPH 106 Fundamentals of Oral CommunicationSPH 107 Fundamentals of Public SpeakingHumanities and Additional Fine Arts (0-3 credit hours)HUM 101 Introduction to Humanities IHUM 102 Introduction to Humanities IIPHL 106 Introduction to PhilosophyPHL 206 Ethics and SocietyREL 100 History of World ReligionsREL 151 Survey of the Old TestamentREL 152 Survey of the New TestamentSPA 101 Introductory Spanish ISPA 102 Introductory Spanish IIAREA III: NATURAL SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS(11 Credit Hours)Natural Sciences (8 credit hours)BIO 103 Principles of Biology IBIO 104 Principles of Biology IICHM 111 College Chemistry ICHM 112 College Chemistry IIPHS 111 Physical Science IPHS 112 Physical Science IIPHY 201 General Physics IPHY 202 General Physics IIPHY 205 Recitation in General Physics I (Trigonometry-Based)PHY 206 Recitation in General Physics II (Trigonometry-Based)PHY 213 General Physics w/Calculus IPHY 214 General Physics w/Calculus IIPHY 216 Recitation in General Physics I (Calculus-Based)PHY 217 Recitation in General Physics II (Calculus-Based)Mathematics (3-4 credit hours)MTH 110 Finite MathematicsMTH 112 Precalculus AlgebraMTH 113 Precalculus TrigonometryMTH 115 Precalculus Algebra and TrigonometryMTH 120 Calculus and Its ApplicationsMTH 125 Calculus IMTH 126 Calculus IIMTH 227 Calculus IIIMTH 237 Linear AlgebraMTH 238 Applied Differential Equations IAREA IV: HISTORY, SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORALSCIENCES (12 Credit Hours)*History (3-6 credit hours)HIS 101 Western Civilization IHIS 102 Western Civilization II ORHIS 121 World History IHIS 122 World History II ORHIS 201 United States History IHIS 202 United States History II**Social and Behavioral Sciences (6-9 credit hours)ANT 200 Introduction to AnthropologyECO 231 MacroeconomicsECO 232 MicroeconomicsGEO 100 World Regional GeographyPOL 211 American National GovernmentPSY 200 General PsychologyPSY 210 Human Growth and DevelopmentSOC 200 Introduction to Sociology*As a part of the General Studies Core Curriculum, students mustcomplete a six-hour sequence either in Literature or in History.**No more than 6 hours of History may be taken for AREA IV.AREA V: PRE-PROFESSIONAL, PRE-MAJOR, ANDELECTIVE COURSES (19-23 Credit Hours)Courses taken in AREA V provide students with the knowledge andexperiences in their chosen major or area of concentration.

If these discussions are notsatisfactory, the complaint should be taken to the next highest levellisted in the following procedures. If the grievance arises from aclassroom situation, students should take the following steps inseeking redress:1. Consult with the instructor involved, in person or by writtencontact, no later than 12 calendar days following the incident.2.

Failure of a faculty member to provide the student withcopies of grading policies, course requirements, course1-800-543-2426 207 www.wallace.edu

procedures, and changes in announced policies without duenotice and explanation.Some types of grievances should not be brought to the committee,although they may be brought to the attention of the DivisionDirector and, if necessary, the appropriate dean so that a continuingadministrative effort may be made to ameliorate problems. Suchgrievances should be addressed through the General Complaintand Grievance Process in this handbook. Examples of thesegrievances include:1.

Recognizing that individual perceptions differ,the College subscribes to the reasonable person standard, whichmeasures sexual harassment by whether or not such conduct wouldsubstantially affect the work environment of a reasonable person.Employees are cautioned to be conservative in projecting how areasonable person would react and are strongly advised to ask theiradministrators and/or compliance officers if in doubt. The Collegewill not tolerate quid pro quo harassment whereby sexual favors1-800-543-2426 209 www.wallace.edu

are requested or demanded in exchange for grades, employeeratings, promotions, etc.The College reaffirms the Equal Employment OpportunityCommission guidelines which state that whether or not sexualharassment exists is a matter that must be viewed from theperspective of the recipient. In other words, harassment may existeven when no direct intent to harass is present. Therefore, allemployees are encouraged to be aware of the environment theyhelp to create and to be sensitive to the perceptions of others.Students with any conflict, complaint, or grievance will initiallyreport to any College official. Students may also report directly tothe sexual harassment officers listed in this section.Legal AuthoritySexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that is prohibitedby Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and by Title IX of theEducation Amendments. Wallace Community College alsosubscribes to the guidelines of the Equal Employment OpportunityCommission.DefinitionSexual harassment may involve the behavior of a person of eithersex against a person of the opposite or same sex and occurs whensuch behavior constitutes unwelcome sexual advances, unwelcomerequests for sexual favors, and other unwelcome verbal or physicalbehavior of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment is either hostileenvironment or quid pro quo when…• submission to such conduct is made either explicitly orimplicitly a term or condition of a person’s employment oracademic advancement (quid pro quo);• submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individualis used as the basis for decisions affecting an individual’semployment or academic standing (quid pro quo); or• such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonablyinterfering with a person’s work or academic performanceor creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work,learning, or social environment (hostile environment).A third party may also file a complaint under this policy if thesexual conduct of others in the education or work environment hasthe purpose or effect of substantially interfering with the thirdparty’s welfare or academic or work performance.Examples of Prohibited BehaviorProhibited acts that constitute sexual harassment may take a varietyof forms. The kinds of conduct that may constitute sexualharassment include, but are not limited to, the following examples:2. Threats or insinuations that a person’s employment, wages,academic grade, promotional opportunities, classroom or workassignments, or other conditions of employment or academiclife may be adversely affected by not submitting to sexualadvances.3. Unwelcome verbal expressions of a sexual nature, includinggraphic sexual commentaries about a person’s body, dress,appearance, or sexual activities; the unwelcome use ofsexually degrading language, jokes, or innuendoes;unwelcome, suggestive, or insulting sounds or whistles;obscene phone calls.4. Sexually suggestive objects, pictures, videotapes, audiorecordings, or literature placed in the work or study area thatmay embarrass or offend individuals. Such material, if usedin an educational setting, should be related to educationalpurposes.5. Unwelcome and inappropriate touching, patting, pinching, orobscene gestures.Consensual RelationshipsWallace Community College believes that consenting romantic andsexual relationships between faculty members and students aregenerally deemed very unprofessional and very unwise becausesuch relationships may result in a conflict of interest and/or a powerdifferential between members of the College community. A powerdifferential may result in the following situations: (1) an instructorand a student in that instructor’s class and (2) an instructor or staffmember and a student who are participating in an extracurricularactivity requiring the student to report to the instructor or staffmember in that activity.A faculty member who enters into a sexual relationship with astudent where a professional power differential exists must realizethat if a charge of sexual harassment is subsequently lodged, it willbe exceedingly difficult to prove immunity on the grounds ofmutual consent. The faculty member or supervisor must also beaware that Wallace Community College can be sued as well ifsexual harassment can be proven.Wallace Community College regards as inappropriate any and allromantic relationships between students and students, instructors,or staff members who have any power over students. The Collegeurges all faculty and staff members to refrain from beginning orcontinuing all such relationships since such behavior may beperceived as unwelcome, even if consensual, and can be seen atthe time or later as sexual harassment. The College expectscompliance with the position above by all instructors and staffmembers and hereby notifies all instructors and staff members thatviolation of this policy leading to concern regarding sexualharassment may result in sanctions.1. Unwelcome sexual propositions, invitations, solicitations, andflirtations1-800-543-2426 210 www.wallace.edu
