This totals 750 minutes of instruction. In addition, each courserequires an examination/evaluation period. Courses may consist of lectures,out-of-class study, laboratory and/or shop study, or combinations thereof,with credit awarded as follows:20TIDEWATER COMMUNITY COLLEGE • CATALOG 2013-14

GENERAL INFORMATION• Lecture: One academic hour of lecture (including lecture, seminar,discussion or other similar activities) per week for 15 weeks plusthe examination/evaluation period equals one collegiate semesterhourcredit.• Laboratory: Two to five academic hours (depending on the discipline)of laboratory, clinical training, supervised work experience,coordinated internship, or other similar activities per week for 15weeks, plus the examination/evaluation period equals one collegiatesemester-hour credit.• Asynchronous eLearning Courses: Traditional contact hours combinedwith learning activities in which students and faculty are separatedby time and place; content is equivalent to that of traditional lecture/laboratory classes.COURSE NUMBERINGCourses numbered less than 100, ESL courses numbered 2 through 20, anddevelopmental studies courses numbered 1-9 are not applicable towardassociate degree programs. Some developmental courses, with the approvalof the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer (ordesignee), may provide credit applicable to certificate programs.Courses numbered 10 through 99 (except for approved ESL courses) arebasic occupational courses for certificate programs. The credits earnedin these courses are applicable toward certificate programs, but are notapplicable toward an associate degree and do not qualify for federalfinancial aid.Courses numbered 100 through 299 are freshman and sophomore coursesapplicable toward associate degree and certificate programs.GRADING SYSTEMThe quality of performance in any academic course is reported by a lettergrade, which the instructor is responsible for assigning.The grades of A, B, C, D, P and S are passing grades. Grades of F and Uare failing grades. R and I are interim grades. Grades of W and X are finalgrades carrying no credit.P - PASSNo grade point credit. This grade applies only to non-developmentalspecialized courses and seminars approved by the appropriate academicdean. A maximum of seven semester credit hours with a P grade may beapplied toward a degree or certificate.S - SATISFACTORYNo grade point credit. The grade of S indicates satisfactory completion ofcourse objectives in developmental studies and ESL courses.W - WITHDRAWALNo credit. A grade of W is awarded to students who withdraw or arewithdrawn from a course after the add/drop period but prior to thecompletion of 60 percent of the session. After that time, the studentwill receive a grade of F except when making satisfactory progress andunder mitigating circumstances, which must be approved by the courseinstructor and the appropriate academic dean. A copy of the withdrawalform and supporting documentation will be placed in the student’sacademic file.X - AUDITNo credit. Permission from the appropriate academic dean or designeeis required to audit a course. Students must register through the usualregistration process and pay the normal tuition. Audited courses do notcount as part of a student’s course load. Students desiring to changestatus in a course from audit to credit or from credit to audit must do sowithin the add/drop period for the course. Students who desire to earncredit for a previously audited course must re-enroll in the course forcredit and pay normal tuition to earn a grade other than X. Advancedstanding credit should not be awarded for a previously audited course.I - INCOMPLETENo credit. The grade of I is used only for verifiable unavoidable reasonsthat a student is unable to complete a course within the normal coursetime. To be eligible to receive an I grade, the student must (1) havesatisfactorily completed more than 50% of the course requirements and(2) must request the faculty member to assign the I grade and indicatewhy it is warranted. The faculty member has the discretion to decidewhether the I grade will be awarded. Since the “incomplete” extendsthe enrollment in the course, requirements for satisfactory completionshall be established through student/faculty consultation. In assigningthe I grade, the faculty member must complete documentation that (1)states the reason for assigning the grade; (2) specifies the work to becompleted and indicates its percentage in relation to the total work ofthe course; (3) specifies the date by which the work must be completed;and (4) identifies the default grade (B, C, D, F, P, R, or U) based uponcourse work already completed. Completion dates may not be set beyondthe subsequent semester (to include summer session) without writtenapproval of the campus provost. The student will be provided a copy ofthe documentation.The instructor must submit a Grade Change form to change the I gradeto the grade earned after course work is completed. If the work is notcompleted on time, another grade (B, C, D, F, P, R, or U) must be assignedbased on the course work already completed. An I grade will be changedto a W only under documented mitigating circumstances, which mustbe approved by the campus provost. A copy of the withdrawal form andsupporting documentation will be placed in the student’s academic file.GENERAL INFORMATIONU - UNSATISFACTORYNo grade point credit. The grade of U is assigned when the student hasnot made satisfactory progress in developmental studies, ESL courses, orcourses taken on a Pass/Unsatisfactory basis.R - RE-ENROLLNo grade point credit. The R grade may be used as a grade option,in developmental and ESL courses only, when the student has madesatisfactory progress but has not completed all of the instructionalobjectives for developmental studies or ESL courses. Students must re-enrollin the course and pay the specified tuition to complete the course objectives.COMPUTING THE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)To determine the GPA, multiply the number of credits for each class bythe number of points awarded for the grade received and divide the totalnumber of grade points earned by the number of credits attempted. Creditsthat do not generate grade points, such as credits for developmentalcourses, are not included in the calculation of credits attempted. Gradesof P, R, S, U, and W (withdrawal), I (incomplete), or X (audit) do not receivegrade points.TIDEWATER COMMUNITY COLLEGE • CATALOG 2013-1421

GENERAL INFORMATIONGENERAL INFORMATIONSEMESTER GPATo determine a semester GPA, divide the total number of grade pointsearned in all courses taken in a given semester by the total number ofcredits attempted for the semester.CURRICULUM GPATo determine a curriculum GPA, divide the total number of grade pointsearned in all courses applicable to the student’s curriculum by the totalnumber of credits attempted in courses applicable to that curriculum.CUMULATIVE GPATo determine a cumulative grade point average, divide the total number ofgrade points earned in all courses by the total number of credits attempted.See Repeated Course Policy below for information on calculating GPA fornon-developmental courses taken more than once.A 4 points ExcellentB 3 points GoodC 2 points AverageD 1 point PoorF 0 point FailureREPEATED COURSE POLICYBeginning with the fall semester 1996, only the most recent attempt of arepeated course is used to calculate the cumulative GPA, and only creditsearned in the most recent attempt are counted toward meeting curriculumrequirements. Note: This policy applies only to courses first attempted inthe summer 1988 or later, and does not affect GPA adjustments made forcourses completed and repeated during the previous repeat policy (summer1994 - summer 1996).Some courses are exempt from consideration as repeats and an adjustmentto GPA is not made. Exempted courses are those numbered in the 90s,93s, 95s, 96s, 97s, 98s, and 99s; courses identified by the phrase “may berepeated for credit”; and selected other courses. Periodically, the VCCS willrename or renumber courses, but they remain equivalent to the courses aspreviously named or numbered. In such cases, completion of a renumbered/renamed course may be determined to be a repeat of a course completedpreviously under a different department and/or course number. Thesedeterminations are made on a college-wide basis, and exceptions cannot bemade for an individual student.Implementation of this policy does not affect any GPA calculations for priorterms or any academic, financial, or administrative events that have occurredin the past. Direct any questions to the coordinator of Enrollment Services.Other Academic RegulationsCOURSE PREREQUISITESStudents must successfully complete some courses before enrolling inothers. These prerequisites are listed in the course description section inthe TCC Catalog and may include developmental courses identified throughplacement testing. The college reserves the right to withdraw students fromcourses in which they have enrolled without successfully completing theappropriate prerequisites.COURSE CO-REQUISITESA co-requisite is a course that must be taken simultaneously with anothercourse, unless the student has already completed it successfully. Co-requisitesare listed in the course description section in the TCC Catalog and may includedevelopmental courses identified through placement testing. The collegereserves the right to withdraw students from courses if they are not alsoenrolled in the co-requisite course or have not completed it successfully.EXAMINATIONSStudents are expected to take examinations as scheduled. No exceptions willbe made without the permission of the academic dean and the instructor of thecourse.COURSE ATTENDANCEStudents should be present and on time for all scheduled class and laboratorymeetings. Instructors do not have to admit students who arrive late. If astudent adds a class or registers after the first day of classes, the student iscounted absent from all class meetings missed. When absences in a courseequal the number of weekly class sessions of that course, the student’sstanding in that class may be in jeopardy.If a student is absent more than 15 percent of scheduled instructional time,attendance may be defined as unsatisfactory. This calculation includesabsences occurring during the add/drop period.Instructors may establish a more stringent attendance policy, and students areresponsible for understanding the attendance requirements for each course inwhich they are enrolled.When an instructor determines that a student’s absences constituteunsatisfactory attendance, the student may be withdrawn from the course.The student will receive a grade of W during the first 60 percent of a course.If the student is withdrawn after 60 percent of the class, a grade of F (or U inthe case of a developmental course) will be assigned unless the student candocument mitigating circumstances. Students who are withdrawn from a classbecause of unsatisfactory attendance are not eligible for a refund of tuitionand fees.LIMIT ON REPEATING A COURSEStudents are limited to two attempts in the same credit or developmentalcourse for the purpose of improving their grade. (Grades of A, B, C, D, F, I, P,R, S, U, X and W count as attempts.) The appropriate academic dean mustapprove exceptions to this policy. This limitation does not apply to certaincourses identified as repeatable for credit.The process for appealing a final course grade is outlined in the StudentHandbook section of this catalog.Academic StandingStudents are considered to be “in good academic standing” if they maintaina semester minimum GPA of 2.00, are eligible to re-enroll at the college andare not on academic suspension or dismissal status.ACADEMIC WARNINGStudents who fail to attain a minimum GPA of 2.00 for any semestershall be placed on academic warning.

Career and technical education programs(AAS and AAA degree programs, certificates, and career studies certificateoptions) prepare students for employment. The college transfer programs(AS and AA degrees) offer freshman and sophomore courses in arts andsciences disciplines and pre-professional fields designed to meet standardsacceptable for transfer to baccalaureate (four-year) degree programs.STATE POLICY ON TRANSFERIn 1991, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) andthe Virginia Community College System (VCCS) adopted the State Policy onTransfer to ensure transferability of the Associate of Arts and Associate ofScience degrees from community colleges. Graduates of TCC’s AA and ASdegrees who are accepted into a baccalaureate degree program can expectto be classified as juniors and to have met lower-level general educationrequirements at public four-year colleges and universities in Virginia.Details on the state transfer policy are available atwww.schev.edu.Note: While TCC’s Associate of Science degree in General Studies maybe transferable to many four-year institutions, the flexible design of theprogram is not intended to ensure the same ease of transferability as theother transfer degrees.ARTICULATION AGREEMENTSTidewater Community College works with baccalaureate degree-grantinginstitutions to develop articulation agreements that guarantee transferstudents are treated on an equal basis with the receiving institution’snative students. The Virginia Community College System (VCCS) alsonegotiates agreements with four-year institutions that guarantee admissionto qualified students enrolled in any community college in the VCCS.TCC’s guaranteed admissions and articulation agreements apply only tograduates of the college’s designated transfer degrees. Students interestedin transferring to a four-year institution prior to completing the associatedegree must apply through the transfer institution’s competitive admissionsprocess, and transferability of course work will be evaluated on a courseby-coursebasis.Guaranteed admissions agreements are currently available with ChristopherNewport University, the College of William and Mary, James MadisonUniversity, Longwood University, Norfolk State University, Old DominionUniversity, Radford University, the University of Mary Washington, theUniversity of Virginia, the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, VirginiaCommonwealth University, Virginia State University, and Virginia Techfor students who meet the conditions outlined in the agreements. TCC orthe VCCS also has signed agreements with Bellevue University, BluefieldCollege, Cappella University, Chowan University, ECPI College of Technology,Emory and Henry College, Ferrum College, George Mason University, HollinsUniversity, Illinois Institute of Technology, Liberty University, LynchburgCollege, Mary Baldwin College, Randolph College, Regent University,Regis University, Shenandoah University, Strayer University, Sweet BriarCollege, Troy University, University of Maryland University College, VirginiaUnion University, and Virginia Wesleyan College. Most general agreementsguarantee admission to the university, but not necessarily to the student’smajor of choice. Many majors have competitive admissions that requirestudents to meet additional grade point average and course requirementsfor admission.Program-to-program articulation agreements provide benefits for studentsthat go beyond the guarantees outlined in the State Policy on Transfer andthe guaranteed admissions agreements. Details on the transfer agreementsare available from a campus transfer counselor or academic advisor.Students are advised to consult frequently with an advisor or campuscounselor to get the most accurate information on transfer and articulation.TWO-YEAR COLLEGE TRANSFER GRANTThe Two-Year College Transfer Grant Program (CTG) was enacted into law inVirginia in 2007. Under this program, qualified students who complete theirassociate degree at a Virginia two-year public college and then transfer toa participating Virginia four-year college or university may receive the newCTG award.For more information, go to www.schev.edu (click on Financial Aid) orthe Financial Aid office at your intended four-year transfer institution.Additional information is available from the Virginia Education Wizardat www.vawizard.org/vccs/Transfer.action.GENERAL INFORMATIONTIDEWATER COMMUNITY COLLEGE • CATALOG 2013-1427

GENERAL INFORMATIONGENERAL INFORMATIONGENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTSStudents may satisfy general education requirements with the courseslisted below. In selecting courses, students are expected to follow thecurriculum outline for their intended program. While general educationcourses other than those designed specifically for transfer may be used tomeet portions of the general education requirements, principles publishedby the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges andSchools require that general education courses be general in nature and not“…narrowly focused on those skills, techniques, and procedures peculiar toa particular occupation or profession.”The following list is provided as a guide to planning and is not intendedto be a comprehensive summary of TCC courses that may be used to meetgeneral education requirements. Additional course options are provided onthe advising transcript in the Student Information System and/or throughconsultation with a counselor or academic advisor. With careful planning,some general education courses may also meet prerequisites for courses inthe program of study. For the purposes of transfer, the list below includescourses most commonly accepted to meet core requirements at publicfour-year institutions.

Students whoplan to transfer to a four-year college or university are urged to acquaintthemselves with the requirements of the institution and major departmentto which they intend to transfer. With careful planning, students may be ableto meet both general education requirements and prerequisites for the majorwith the same course(s), allowing greater flexibility in selecting electives.Students should consult a counselor or academic advisor to select coursesmost appropriate for their curriculum. Many TCC courses are transferable asgeneral electives even if they do not fulfill core requirements.AAA/AAS Degrees and Certificates: In selecting courses, students areexpected to follow the curriculum outline for their intended major andspecialization. Where appropriate, students may select courses from listsof approved courses provided by their division office to meet requirementsin the major. While general education courses other than those designedspecifically for transfer may be used to meet portions of the general educationrequirements, principles published by the Commission on Colleges of theSouthern Association of Colleges and Schools require that general educationcourses be general in nature and not “…narrowly focused on those skills,techniques, and procedures peculiar to a particular occupation or profession.”AAS/AAA degrees generally are not designed for transfer, but students canincrease the transferability of selected applied degrees by substitutingtransfer courses where appropriate to meet program requirements.APPROVED ELECTIVESIn addition to general education and courses required for their program ofstudy, students also may have the opportunity to enroll in a credit course asan approved elective. The curriculum outline for each program lists specificcourses students must take to complete the degree or certificate, and mostprograms limit student choice to lists of approved courses. To view a listof approved courses, students should review their advising transcript inthe Student Information System and consult a TCC counselor or academicadvisor. Transfer students are also advised to consult the transferinstitution’s transfer guide to determine transferability of elective courses.Mathematics: MTH 115 1 , MTH 152, MTH 157, MTH 158, MTH 163, MTH 166,MTH 173, MTH 270Health/Physical Education Elective 2 : DIT 125, HLT 100, HLT 106, HLT 110,HLT 116, HLT 121, HLT 122, HLT 130, HLT 138, HLT 200, HLT 204, HLT 215,HLT 226, PED (any activity course)28TIDEWATER COMMUNITY COLLEGE • CATALOG 2013-14
