HistoryHistoryWilson Community College is a member of the North Carolina Community College System. Established in1958 as Wilson Industrial Education Center, it is one of the system's oldest institutions. From its inception, it hasoffered quality education to those who have enrolled in its programs. The first classes began September 29, 1958in the Coon High School Annex. Construction began on the first building on the current site in 1958. In 1964,the State Board of Education granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and the schoolname was changed to Wilson County Technical Institute.As enrollment increased, alterations were made and an automotive shop and a welding classroom-laboratorybuilding were completed. In 1969, both enrollment and staff increased as the Institute responded to the demandfor technical education. During the same year, the Institute was accredited by the Southern Association of Collegesand Schools. Grants totaling $1 million were received and Buildings J and D were occupied in 1970. In1971, following the death of the Institute's first president, Salvatore DelMastro, Dr. Ernest B. Parry was appointedpresident. He served until his retirement in July 1982 when Dr. Frank L. Eagles was appointed president. Dr.Eagles served as president until his retirement in September 2003 when Dr. Rusty Stephens became the fourthpresident of the College.From 1971 to the present, Wilson Community College has received federal and state grants enabling it to provideadditional services such as a program for counseling and tutoring disadvantaged and academically deprivedstudents, a program for the “hardcore” unemployed, classroom training in Adult Basic Education, and a methodof upgrading the Heavy Equipment program.During the period 1977-78, Buildings G and L were built. Building G made possible significant improvementsin both student life and the educational program. Included in the structure are a student lounge complex,bookstore, classrooms, labs and faculty offices. Building L provides an environment for instruction in the repair ofdiesel powered vehicles. An administrative and classroom building, Building B, connecting existing Buildings Aand C, was built in the spring of 1986. Building K, which contains sewing and crafts and facilities for the pottery/ceramics classes, was opened in 1989. In 1997, the Salvatore DelMastro auditorium was completed (Building E)allowing the old auditorium to be converted to additional library facilities. Building M, completed in 2000, is awelding facility, and in 2003 the new Frank L. Eagles Community Business Center addition to Building G wascompleted, adding much needed meeting rooms and classrooms to the College facilities.The name was officially changed to Wilson Technical Community College in 1989. In 1993, the Departmentof Community Colleges granted the College the authority to award the Associate in Arts degree. The coursesrequired for this degree parallel the first two years of those offered by four-year colleges and universities. In 1997,the College converted from the quarter system to the semester system. This change was made in the entire NorthCarolina Community College System to enhance the transferability of students to four-year institutions.Since 1997, the College has experienced extraordinary student growth and continues to serve as a majorsource of education and training for the workforce in Wilson County.

Disciplinary and Due Process ProceduresCode of Conduct and CivilityWilson Community College is committed to the advancement of learning and the development of skills thatserve the needs of our students and the community. This is best accomplished in an academic environment thatfosters individual responsibility and concern for others. All members of the college community and visitors tocampus have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. The College expects no less from everyone on ourcampus. These expectations stem from, and are enforced by, governmental statutes, College policies, and an institutionalemphasis on academic integrity and honesty, civility, and respect for the sanctity of a safe and supportivelearning environment.The Code of Conduct exists to guide the behavior of all at Wilson Community College and to give guidanceto the development of students as citizens. It is based on principles and values found in the College's Mission andVision Statements.The College is a caring community where the well-being of each member is supported and service to others isencouraged. It is an open community where freedom of expression is protected and civility is expected.Code of Conduct for Student OrganizationsStudents are expected to conduct themselves on campus as well as off campus, including any College-sponsoredactivity in a socially responsible manner.

Organizationsin violation are subject to revocation of their charter.PurposeCollege students, curriculum and continuing education, are citizens of the local, state, and national governmentsand of the academic community and are, therefore, expected to conduct themselves as law abiding members ofeach community at all times. Admission to a college carries with it special privileges and imparts special responsibilitiesapart from those rights and duties enjoyed by non-students. In recognition of the special relationship thatexists between the College and the academic community, which it seeks to serve, the Wilson Community CollegeBoard of Trustees has authorized the President of the College to take such action that may be necessary to maintaincampus safety and preserve the integrity of the College and its educational environment.Pursuant to this authorization, the College has developed the following regulations, which are intended togovern student conduct on the campus. In addition, students are subject to all national, state, and local laws andordinances. If a student's violation of such laws or ordinances also adversely affects the College's pursuit of itseducational objectives, the College may enforce its own regulations regardless of any proceedings instituted byother authorities. Conversely, violation of any section of these regulations may subject a student to disciplinarymeasures by the College whether or not such conduct is simultaneously in violation of local, state, or national laws.When a student fails to abide by the rules and regulations of the College, or Wilson Early College Academy, orfails to obey the ordinance of local, state, and national governments, disciplinary action may be taken. Suspensionfrom Wilson Early College Academy precludes such a student from attending or participating in College classes.Visitors to the College, including community patrons of the library, are expected to conduct themselves in accordancewith the general rules and regulations of the College, and violations may result in the suspension of theprivilege of visiting the campus. Visitors to the College do not have the same rights of due process and appeals asstudents.Wilson Community College embraces the philosophy that the proper aim of discipline is teaching. Therefore,the discipline of students in this educational community is part of the teaching process. Toward that end, due processis established and observed.ResponsibilityThe Dean of Student Development is responsible for enforcement of student disciplinary policies and proceduresfor all curriculum students and visitors to the campus and will, in the pursuit of that responsibility, observe theproper aim of discipline, observe the procedure of due process, consider all evidence, determine the facts, render adecision, and impose appropriate disciplinary sanctions when a student has been charged with violation of Collegerules and/or regulations.

The Director ofAdmissions/Registrar, in consultation with instructor(s) and/or the Associate Dean, will evaluate all transcripts ona course by course basis. Evaluation criteria include comparable content and credit hours, grade, accreditation,and the number of years since the credits were earned. The following will be used as a basis to determine whichpreviously earned credits may be awarded and counted towards graduation:2012 - 2013 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 35Student Development

Student Development• Effective Fall Semester 2009, credit will no longer be given in any current program of study for courseworkdone on the quarter system at Wilson Community College or any other NC community college. Recentacademic credits from a college or university still operating on a quarter system may be eligible for transferconsideration on a course by course basis.• Developmental courses do not count toward graduation and are only valid for three years.• Courses that depend heavily on technology, speed and accuracy, physical skills, or memorization will besubject to review after three years by the Associate Dean and course instructor unless the student has beencontinuously enrolled. Courses subject to review include, but are not limited to, those with the followingprefixes: ACC, AHR, ASL, CIS, COS, CSC, CTS, DBA, DDF, DFT, ELC, IPP, HYD, ISC, MEC, MED,NET, NOS, NUR, OST, SEC, SGD, SPA, SUR, WEB, and WLD.• A student's academic advisor can recommend substitution of courses for adequate cause. Substitutions musthave written approval from the advisor, Director of Admissions/Registrar, the Associate Dean, and the VicePresident of Instruction and Student Development.• The College will accept credit for those courses with curriculum validity with the credit hours adjusted to theWilson Community College scale for students who transfer from other accredited post-secondary institutions.• A letter grade of "D" is not transferable.• Quality points earned at other institutions will not be calculated in a student's grade point average.• A transfer student intending to graduate from Wilson Community College must complete at least 25% ofthe credit hours in the major course of study at Wilson Community College.• Students enrolled in curriculum programs who wish to take courses at another college for transfer back toWilson Community College for credit toward graduation are strongly encouraged to discuss such withtheir academic advisor prior to registration at the other college. This is to better ensure transferability ofcredits. Also, certain key courses are required to be taken at Wilson Community College.• Any and all credit awarded and/or counted toward graduation is at the discretion of the College.Undocumented Students / AdmissionUndocumented students may enroll in Career and College Promise program courses and non-college creditcourses including Adult Basic Education, GED, Adult High School, English Language Program, or other continuingeducation courses not considered to be for college credit.The NC Administrative Code changed as of July 10, 2010, to allow NC community colleges to admit undocumentedimmigrants into curriculum programs of study effective Fall Semester 2010. However, such students:• Must have attended and graduated from a U.S. public high school, private high school, or home school thatoperates in compliance with state or local law. Graduates of Adult High School programs are also allowed,but GED certificate holders are not.• Are not eligible for federal or state financial aid.• Must be charged out-of-state tuition.• May not displace any student that is legally in the U.S. from any course or program of study when spacelimitations exist.When considering whether to admit an undocumented immigrant into a specific program of study, communitycolleges shall take into account that federal law prohibits states from granting professional licenses to undocumentedimmigrants.Wilson Early College AcademyThe Wilson Early College Academy is a Wilson County Public School located on the Wilson CommunityCollege campus. WECA is an extension of the high school academies and a partnership between Wilson CountySchools and Wilson Community College. Rising high school freshman will enroll in a five-year dual enrollmentprogram, which includes high school courses needed to meet North Carolina graduation requirements and collegecourses to meet requirements of an associate degree or college transferable credit.The school's mission is to offer accelerated academics in both high school and college courses in small, learnercenteredclasses. Students will have equal access to highly challenging coursework and innovative learning experiencesthat build upon their passions and interests. Students will be afforded unique support to demonstrate genuineconcern for the whole person. Academic, emotional, and social interventions will build integrity, self-confidence,and character in WECA students, which will ensure their ability to graduate from high school and college andbecome productive 21st century citizens.36 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

Academic PlacementCurriculum students will be placed in English, reading, mathematics, and computer courses based on resultsof the placement tests unless earned college credit or SAT/ACT scores waive placement testing. A placement testis also required for BIO 111 and BIO 168. Applicants and/or students who do not place into BIO 111 or BIO 168would enroll in BIO 090. The College offers developmental biology and computer skills courses for those studentswho feel a refresher course is in their best academic interest.Placement tests are given by appointment during the semester, except during registration periods. The Collegeadministers the COMPASS computerized placement test and the ASSET paper and pencil test. Study guidesare available in the College library and a link to placement test study guides is available on the College website.Placement testing is for course placement and is not an admissions test. Placement tests are not used to exemptcurriculum level courses. The College will accept Asset, Compass, and Accuplacer placement test scores fromanother college if they are considered to be valid with respect to time since the testing was done.College readiness for high school Career and College Promise students can also be determined by PSAT, SAT,PLAN or ACT scores from the high school .Placement test scores become invalid after one year if the applicant does not enroll in the College and afterthree years if the student enrolls in the College but does not take college level English, math, reading, biology, orcomputer courses. No assistive devices are allowed other than a calculator for math, with the exception of somespecial accommodations for disabled students.Placement Testing Waivers• Previous College CreditsApplicants who have earned college level credit from a regionally accredited institution for math, English,and/or computer courses may be exempted from being required to take a placement test if the course(s) aretransferrable and, in some cases, are no more than three years old. Transferability and time limits are subjectto review by the Director of Admissions/Registrar, the Associate Dean, and the instructor(s).• SAT/ ACT ScoresApplicants who have scored a qualifying score on the SAT or ACT may be exempt from taking the Collegeplacement tests if the scores are from testing within the past three years. Qualifying PLAN or PSAT scoresmay exempt high school juniors and seniors enrolled in the Career & College Promise program from takingCollege placement tests.Placement RetestingAn applicant may test only three times within a twenty-four month period in English, math, and reading, regardlessof whether the test is taken at another test site or for the purpose of attempting to qualify for admission toany program. Applicants and/or students may take the computer placement and the biology placement test onlyonce. The test results of applicants who do not follow these procedures will be invalid and will not be used to placeor admit applicants into programs. Applicants desiring to retake a portion of the placement test must wait at leastthree (3) months unless one of the following conditions applies:1. For the COMPASS test, those who score within 1/2 of the most recently measured standard deviation scorefor each testing area.• 14 points for writing • 9 points for pre-algebra • 8 points for reading • 9 points for algebraThose applicants may retest on any of the next available test dates. If the applicant fails to achieve thedesired score on the second test, the student must complete all developmental courses in that particularsubject area. Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from a developmental course are not eligible toretest. (ASSET scores for retest eligibility are available in the Office of Student Development.)2. Applicants who score below the developmental course level cannot be admitted to the College. Suchapplicants will be referred to the Learning Center for additional assistance. An applicant who has beenreferred to the Learning Center for developmental work must present a statement signed by a memberof the Learning Center staff certifying the completion of 80 hours of study in that particular subject areabefore retesting can be scheduled.2012 - 2013 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 37Student Development

3. A student who has completed RED 080, ENG 080, or MAT 060 who has earned a final average in the courseof at least 95% with no assignment lower than a 90% may be allowed to retest. The instructor may presenta request to the College Transfer Associate Dean for approval in that subject area. Upon approval, theinstructor sends written approval with signature to the Testing/Special Populations Counselor indicatingapproval to retest, student's name, and subject area. Students must complete the course before retesting.Developmental CoursesCertain course prerequisites may make it necessary for some students to enroll in developmental courses, whichare identified by a numerical “0” prefix. (i.e. RED 080, ENG 090, etc.) Developmental courses may increase thecost and length of studies to complete a degree or diploma. Students who need a developmental class from threeareas - math, reading, computer skills, biology, and writing, may not register for more than 14 hours of instructionper semester, including an ACA College Student Success course. Developmental courses are only valid for threeyears. Developmental courses in biology and computer skills are also offered for students who may need a refresher.Chart of Prerequisites in English, Reading, Math, & Computer LiteraryStudent DevelopmentCaution – Possible Effect of Criminal RecordStudents entering or seeking to enter certain programs of study at the College should be aware that their abilityto complete the program, be licensed or certified, or employed may be affected if they have a prior criminal record.In such cases, the actual violation and the length of time since that violation may be the deciding factor. Programsthat require agency sponsorship and programs that require practicums, internships, or clinical experience dependon community agencies to fulfill that requirement and some of those agencies may require criminal backgroundchecks prior to the student being allowed into their facilities. If the participating community agency will not acceptthe student because of a criminal record, the student may be unable to continue in the program. Students completingcertain programs of study may be prohibited from obtaining credentials or licenses due to a criminal record. Insome cases, employers may be required by law to do a criminal background check prior to employment.Programs where a student's prior criminal record may come into question include, but are not limited to, AlliedHealth programs, Basic Law Enforcement Training, Criminal Justice Technology, Cosmetology, Early ChildhoodEducation, and Paralegal Technology.The College conducts pre-employment criminal background checks on all otherwise eligible financial aid applicantsfor Federal Work Study.Certain applicants should also be aware that Wilson Community College is considered a "place where minorsgather for regularly scheduled educational programs and/or activities".College Credit for High School StudentsAdvanced CreditHigh school students planning to continue their education in a career technical field can earn college creditwhile still in high school in the areas of office administration, computer technology, business, and drafting. TheCollege Tech Prep program allows students, upon graduating from high school, to receive advanced placementor college credit while still in high school, without the cost of tuition, fees and books. To earn advanced collegecredit, graduates must enroll in Wilson Community College within two years of high school graduation, must haveearned a "B" or better in the course, and must have a scale score of 93 or higher on the standardized VoCATS endof course test.38 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

Career & College PromiseIn 2011, the NC Legislature authorized the State Board of Education and the State Board of Community Collegesto establish the Career and College Promise program, effective January 1, 2012. Career and College Promiseprovides seamless dual enrollment opportunities for eligible NC high school students through college transfer andtechnical education pathways in their junior and senior years and through cooperative innovative high schools ingrades 9-12.Note: Enrollment in college courses requires demonstrated “college readiness” as defined by state Career andCollege Promise standards.College Level Entry Placement (CLEP) / and AP ExamsStudents may request credit for subjects tested under advanced placement or CLEP examinations. Test scoresmust meet American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations. Credit must be applicable to the student'scurrent curriculum. Only official test scores reports will be accepted.College Identification Number / Photo IDThe College takes its custodial responsibility for maintaining personally identifiable information very seriously.In order to comply with the provisions of the Identity Theft Protection Act of 2005, the College provides the followinginformation on the collection and use of personally identifiable information.• In order to maintain the integrity of academic records, it is necessary to collect personally identifiable informationfor positive identification of students and to make the connection between students and theiracademic records.• Once personally identifiable information has been collected, its use will be limited to that same identificationand connection to records.All applicants are assigned a distinctive College Identification Number and it is that number, not their socialsecurity number, which will be an in-house identifier throughout their career at the College. Anytime a student hasthe need to be identified by the College, the student will be asked for their college ID number.Student photo ID cards, including the College Identification Number, will be issued to new curriculum students,Adult High School students, and GED students free of charge during every registration period. For futuresemesters, the student ID card will be marked for continued enrollment. Students will be encouraged to have newID cards made annually. Replacement for lost cards will be available in Student Development for a $5 fee. Thestudent ID card will also be used as a College Library Card.For purposes of positive identification in regards to security, the College requires that students carry their IDcard on their person and be prepared to present it upon request.Change of Personal InformationBeing able to quickly and dependably contact students by phone or through the mail is important. A student'saddress as last listed in their educational record in the Student Development Center is considered to be the student'saddress of record. As all official correspondence is directed to the student's address of record, students should notifythe Student Development Center when there has been a change in their name, address, or telephone number. It isthe student's responsibility to keep the College informed of any directory changes.Some changes in personal data, including but not limited to name changes, may require certified copies of legal/court documents. Examples include marriage licenses and divorce or adoption decrees. Normally a state driver'slicense or a social security card with the new name will be accepted as adequate documentation.Student DevelopmentCurriculum Catalog RequirementsStudents are expected to meet the catalog requirements in effect at the time of their enrollment into a curriculumprogram. Anyone not enrolled for 12 months or more must be readmitted under the requirements of themost current catalog.Financial Aid & Veterans AffairsThe purpose of student financial aid (FA) is to provide financial assistance to those students who would otherwisenot have the opportunity to attend college due to limited financial resources. Based primarily on financial need,such FA is provided in the form of grants, scholarships, part-time employment, and loans. Any student enrolledin a curriculum degree or diploma program may apply for FA. FA is also available for Basic Law EnforcementTraining students.2012 - 2013 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 39

Student DevelopmentFA is administered in compliance with federal and state regulations and guidelines regarding initial and continuingeligibility for assistance. Those guidelines include, but are not limited to, verification of reported incomeand expenses, enrollment status, satisfactory academic progress, and limits to assistance based on both time andattempted hours.Students applying for FA are strongly encouraged to submit a FAFSA application, available at http://fafsa.ed.gov, a minimum of 60 days prior to the beginning of their first semester of enrollment. A student may alsorequest a paper FAFSA application by calling 1-800-433-3243. All new or readmitted students must complete theadmissions process before aid can be awarded and some aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until allfunds have been committed. Renewal of aid is not automatic; students must file a FAFSA for each academic year.Recipients of Federal (Title IV) financial aid must be high school graduates or have obtained the GED and mustbe enrolled in an eligible program. For inquiries, e-mail the Financial Aid Office at financialaid@wilsoncc.edu.Students who early register or register for classes, are approved for financial aid, and find that they willbe unable to attend must officially withdraw from those classes. Otherwise, their financial aid award willbe charged for the tuition and fees and the student may be liable for repayment to the aid-funding sourceshould they fail to attend.The College sends financial aid award letters, notifications, and notices to students through the College e-mailsystem and will post general notices on the College website. The College mails all financial aid checks to studentsat their address of record or the address listed on the student’s FAFSA application. If these two addresses are different,the student may designate one over the other. The address of record is the address the student used on theirlatest application for admission unless they have submitted a change of address request. If the address has changedsince that time, contact the Registration Center by calling (252) 246-1281 or (252) 246-1285.Satisfactory Academic ProgressThe Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980, mandates that institutions of highereducation must establish standards of “satisfactory academic progress” applicable to all Federal (Title IV) and allstate and institutionally awarded funds for the purpose of maintaining a consistent policy for all students receivingfinancial assistance.• For determining FA eligibility status, the act requires a qualitative and a quantitative measure of satisfactoryacademic progress (SAP). In order to maintain eligibility for federal and state FA, students must meet bothFA SAP standards adopted by the College based on guidelines set by the US Department of Education.• A student who fails to meet FA SAP in a given semester is placed on FA Warning. Such a student wouldremain eligible for FA in their next semester, but must reestablish FA SAP.• If a student who is placed on FA Warning fails to reestablish FA SAP in their semester of FA Warning, thatstudent would be placed on FA Suspension. Such a student would be ineligible for any federal or state FAuntil they have reestablished FA SAP.Financial Aid Qualitative Satisfactory Academic ProgressQualitative FA satisfactory academic progress for financial aid eligibility purposes is measured by grade-pointaverage.At the College there are two GPA measures with one significant difference.• The academic GPA does not include grades earned in developmental courses.• The financial aid GPA does include grades earned in developmental courses.Financial Aid Quantitative Satisfactory Academic ProgressThere are two methods of measuring quantitative SAP.67% Rule (Pace of Progression)1. A student must pass two-thirds (.667) of their cumulative attempted hours at the College each semester,otherwise he or she will be placed on FA Warning. During the semester of FA Warning, the student willreceive regular financial aid and must reestablish FA SAP by meeting the 2/3 (.667) cumulative passingrequirement.2. All accepted transfer credits are included in calculating cumulative 2/3 of attempted hours.3. Developmental hours do count in the 67% calculation.4. If a student has not reestablished SAP after one semester of FA Warning, the student will be placed on FASuspension and ALL forms of federal and state financial aid to the student will be suspended.40 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

150% Rule (Maximum Time Frame)1. Per federal mandate, a student will be allowed to receive financial assistance until the student has (a) attempteda maximum of 150% of the hours required to complete his/her chosen degree, diploma, or certificate. (Seeexamples below)2. All accepted transfer credit hours are included in the 150% calculation.3. Developmental hours are not counted in the 150% calculation.4. Repeated courses are counted in the 150% calculation for attempted hours but only the last grade is countedin calculating academic and/or financial aid GPA.For example, a student in the Welding Diploma would need 48 hours to complete the program. 150% of 48hours is 72 hours. This student could receive aid up to 72 hours but no more. Another example, a student in BusinessAdministration (AAS) would need 73 hours to complete the program. 150% of 73 hours is 110 hours. Thisstudent could receive aid for up to 110 hours, but no more. Students will be notified in writing when being placedon financial aid probation when the student has reached 150% of the allowable hours permitted.Appeals Process for Qualitative and Quantitative ProgressStudents may appeal their loss of financial aid based on qualitative or quantitative lack of satisfactory academicprogress (SAP). Such an appeal may be considered for error by the College, documented, unusual, or mitigatingcircumstances, or when the student needs one additional semester to complete their chosen primary program of study.Students wishing to make an appeal must do so in writing to the Director of Financial Aid, who may grant or deny theappeal. A second appeal may be made in writing to the Dean of Student Development, where all decisions are final.Appeals Process for Course Eligibility for FA Enrollment StatusStudents register for classes with, or through, their academic advisor. Academic advisors cannot authorizestudents to enroll for courses that count toward financial aid enrollment status outside their chosen program ofstudy. Students may appeal and ask for an exception to the eligibility of courses that count toward financial aideligibility for approved course substitutions, qualified double majors, or for courses that have well-reasoned careeror goal oriented connections and only if the student is eligible to be at least half-time for financial aid in theirchosen primary major when the student needs one more semester to complete their chosen primary program ofstudy. Any such student must be at least half-time in their chosen program of study. The appeal must be made inwriting to the Dean of Student Development. A second appeal may be made in writing to the Vice President ofInstruction and Student Development, where all decisions are final. Such an exception cannot supersede other FArules and regulations.Pell GrantsGrants are financial aid awards that are given to students and if utilized properly, usually do not have to bepaid back. The Federal Pell Grant is a federally funded program based on need as determined by the FAFSA. Theamount of the actual grant is based upon family contribution as determined by the federal government and is subjectto change by legislative action. Students receiving a Pell Grant should follow these guidelines and regulations:NOTE: Beginning with the 2012-13 award year, students are limited to 12 full-time equivalent semesters of Pell Grant eligibility atany college and at any time. This eligibility determination by the US Department of Education will consider all use ofPell all the way back to its inception in the 1970s and will be reported to the College with the results on each applyingstudent’s FAFSA application.• The Financial Aid Office can approve aid based on only one chosen eligible program of study. If a studentdesignates a primary and secondary major, aid will be based on the primary major. Some students whohave declared double majors can be paid based on enrollment in a combination of courses in both programs.• Must attend class and have their attendance verified by their instructor.• Must be enrolled in an eligible degree, diploma, or certificate program. Students enrolled in some diplomaand certificate programs will have their financial aid eligibility determined by clock or contact hours ratherthan credit hours. The number of hours required to be full-time is subject to change by legislative action.All diploma and certificate students are encouraged to talk with FA before registration each semester.• Only courses required in a student’s chosen program(s) of study will be counted toward financial aid eligibility,unless approved by the Director of Admissions/Registrar and/or the Dean of Student Development.• If a student reduces the number of credit hours for course load or withdraws from a course within a certainspecified period of time during the semester, the student's award will be recalculated to reflect currentcourse load at that time.2012 - 2013 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 41Student Development

Student Development• If a student withdraws during the period prior to the 60% point of the semester, the award must be recalculatedto determine the amount of Title IV Federal aid the student did not earn, and the student is usuallyresponsible for repayment of these funds. Failure to repay an overpayment results in a loss of financialaid eligibility.• Hours for courses being repeated when the student has previously passed the course or has approved transfercredit will be counted for Pell eligibility one time only.• The Higher Education Act of 2008 reauthorized Pell Grants, set new maximum annual awards, and set amaximum number of semesters any student can receive a Pell Grant at any institution of post-secondaryeducation.Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG)SEOG is a federally subsidized program. Awards are based on exceptional financial need and academic promise.These grants are available to a limited number of students. Eligibility must be established with the Financial AidOffice. The College requires SEOG recipients to maintain a 2.7 or higher cumulative grade point average. Studentsare encouraged to submit their FAFSA early, as SEOG awards are distributed on a first come-first served basis.Federal Work Study (FWS)The Federal Work Study (FWS) Program is a federally funded program to provide a limited amount of fundsfor the employment of students who are eligible for federal financial aid and who demonstrate need as determinedby the FAFSA. Eligible students must also have been accepted to the College and are enrolled in a qualified curriculumprogram, must be in good academic standing with the College and must maintain satisfactory academicprogress, must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and must authorize a criminal background check prior totheir beginning work at the College. Past criminal records will not automatically disqualify a student from CollegeWork Study. Questions should be directed to the Dean of Student Development. The College's Human ResourcesOffice will conduct the background check and results will be considered confidential, will not become a part of thestudent's educational record, and will not be used to make any admissions, financial aid (other than Work Study),or academic decisions, other than where required by law. The student authorizing the background check may bemade aware of the results if they make such a written request to the Dean of Student Development.The FWS program provides jobs for students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help payeducational expenses. The average workload is 10 hours or less per week. During vacation periods, the studentmay work up to 28 hours per week. The basic rate of pay is $7.25 per hour. On-campus jobs include work in offices,shops, the library, and maintenance. Students participating in the FWS program will be paid on the last dayof each month for hours worked the previous month.North Carolina Community College Grant (NCCCG)The 1999 North Carolina General Assembly allocated $5 million to provide need-based assistance for communitycollege students. To be considered, an applicant needs to list a North Carolina community college in step6 on the FAFSA. NCCCG recipients must be enrolled at least half- time. There are no summer semester disbursementsfor this grant. Grant amounts depend on legislative budgets. All students who submit a FAFSA applicationfor federal aid will automatically be considered for the NCCCG.North Carolina Education Lottery Scholarship (NCELS)To be considered, a student must complete the FAFSA form and (1) be a NC resident for tuition purposes, (2)enroll on at least a half-time basis, (3) comply with satisfactory academic progress standards as set by the institution,and (4) be enrolled in an eligible program of study.Eligibility is determined on the same criteria as the Pell Grant program with one exception; students not eligiblefor Pell with an estimated family contribution of $5,000 or less will be eligible for an Education Lottery Scholarship.It is estimated that awards will range from $100 to $2,300 per year. Scholarship amounts and estimated familycontribution may change depending on legislative budgets. The state limits NCELS to eight equivalent full-timeawards. There are no summer semester disbursements for NCELS and all awards are subject to funding.LoansA variety of loans are available. Repayment of some loans begins immediately; other repayment options beginafter a student completes the educational program and is no longer enrolled in school. Other options include interestpayment only while enrolled. For detailed information regarding financial aid opportunities and the applicationprocedure, see the College Loan Officer.42 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

As such, interested students should meet with the Loan Officeras soon as possible after being admitted to the College.Direct Subsidized LoansFor the student with financial need, the federal government pays the interest on the subsidized loan while theborrower is enrolled in college at least half time and for six months after enrollment ends. At the end of the six monthgrace period, the borrower becomes responsible for the loan interest and repayment. The amount a student mayborrow depends on their grade level, program length, amount of other financial aid received, dependency status, andthe amount of their financial need. Generally, the maximum loan amount is $3500 for a first year student and $4500for a second year student, though other variables are taken into consideration. Effective for 2012, Direct Loanswill not be subsidized during the 6 month grace period after a student graduates or discontinues their education.Direct Unsubsidized LoansStudent borrowers who are not able to demonstrate financial need on their FAFSA are eligible for Direct UnsubsidizedLoans. Interest on these loans is the responsibility of the student borrower at all times.ScholarshipsScholarships to selected students are made available from funds received from the North Carolina CommunityCollege System and several area organizations, firms, and individuals, including the Wilson Community CollegeFoundation.

The student will receive a cash paymentof the semester balance, if any, after their attendance and class load has been verified.• In order to provide accurate and sound accounting procedures, the Financial Aid Office will determine paymenton a student's enrollment status. If a student's enrollment status changes for such reasons as completion,withdrawal, exemption, or audit, prior to disbursement, a recalculation will occur and a check willbe issued to reflect the new enrollment data. The College can make FA awards based on multiple censusdates in a single term but the census dates cannot be combined. EXAMPLE- A student enrolled in fullterm,term A, and term B courses can be awarded for all of those courses as long as the registration for allcourses is done at the beginning of the term. A student registered later in the term for only term B coursescould be awarded but only for those term B courses.• Students must attend classes beyond the 60% point in order to “earn” 100% of their Pell award. If an overpaymentis created, the student will be notified of the liability, if any, which must be repaid.• An otherwise eligible student cannot use a Pell Grant for registration if they have an outstanding balancefrom a prior enrollment. Likewise, a student receiving a Pell Grant cannot use an anticipated award torepay a balance due from a prior term. For additional information, contact the Director of Financial Aid.Treatment of Title IV Aid When a Student WithdrawsA student receiving Title IV aid is required to attend through the 60% point of the semester to earn their award.Examples of Title IV aid are the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, and DirectLoans which are disbursed based on attendance. If a student withdraws prior to earning the aid, he/she may owemoney back to the College, Department of Education or both. The law requires the Financial Aid Office to calculatethe amount of Title IV assistance earned for any student who has not attended beyond the 60% point of the semester.• If a student withdraws prior to the 60% point and before grant disbursement, a post withdrawal disbursementwill be calculated for the term based on the last date of attendance. The College may charge tuition& fees to the student’s award. As a result, a student may owe the College a balance if he/she charged morethan the prorated award.44 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

Example: Jon originally enrolls for fall semester in 6 credits and his grant award is $1000. He charges$438.10 for tuition & fees to his grant. He attends up to the 20% point of the term and withdraws. Jonhas earned 20% of his award, which is $200. Jon dropped after the College’s refund period. Therefore,tuition & fees are not reduced. The College applies the $200 post withdrawal disbursement towards hischarges of $438.10. Since his charges exceed his grant, he will owe the College the difference of $238.10.• If a student withdraws prior to the 60% point and after Title IV disbursement, a return of Title IV aid willbe calculated based on the last date of attendance to determine the amount of aid for which the student orCollege will need to return. The return will not exceed half of the award disbursement. If the calculationreveals a student debt, the student will be given 45 days to pay the College to prevent loss of future aid.In the event, the student does not pay; the College will refer overpayments greater than $50 to the Departmentof Education. The student will lose financial aid eligibility until he/she resolves the overpayment.The student will retain eligibility for aid up to the point the overpayment is referred to the Department ofEducation or 45 days from the date of determination of withdrawal.• If the College owes an amount as a result of a return calculation, it will process the return within the 45 daydeadline. The return would be equal to the amount of tuition & fee charges times the unearned percentageof funds or the entire excess funds.• If a student withdraws prior to the 60% point and has a Direct Loan origination whose funds have not alreadybeen disbursed a post withdrawal disbursement will be calculated for the term based on the last date ofattendance; except for a student who is a first-time, first-year student who has not completed the first 30days of their program. A letter will be mailed to the student offering the PWD and giving them 15 daysto accept the loan. The Financial Aid Office will zero out the loan if no reply is received by the deadline.Students are advised to seek counsel and consider their options before withdrawing from classes. Drops cannegatively affect a student’s future aid eligibility.Veterans Affairs (VA)The Department of Veteran Affairs provides a number of educational benefits to qualified veterans and/ordependents.

There are two education tax credits available, the American Opportunity Credit and theLifetime Learning Credit. The credits are based on education expenses paid for you, your spouse,or your dependents.Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), more parents and students will qualify overthe next two years for a tax credit, the American Opportunity Credit, to pay for college expenses.The American Opportunity Credit originally modified the existing Hope credit for tax years2009 and 2010, and was later extended for an additional two years - 2011 and 2012, making the benefit availableto a broader range of taxpayers, including many with higher incomes and those who owe no tax. It also addsrequired course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four postsecondaryeducation years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum annual credit of$2,500 per student.The full credit is available to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, or $160,000or less for married couples filing a joint return. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above theselevels. These income limits are higher than under the existing Lifetime Learning Credits.You cannot take both an education credit and a deduction for tuition and fees (see deductions, below) for thesame student in the same year. As such, you may want to consult a tax advisor.Education credits are claimed on Form 8863, Education Credits (Lifetime Learning Credits). For details onthese and other education-related tax breaks, see IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits of Education.The Lifetime Learning Credit helps parents and students pay for post-secondary education.For the tax year, you may be able to claim a Lifetime Learning Credit of up to $2,000 ($4,000 for students inMidwestern disaster areas) for qualified education expenses paid for all students enrolled in eligible educationalinstitutions. There is no limit on the number of years the Lifetime Learning Credit can be claimed for each student.However, a taxpayer cannot claim both the American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credits for thesame student in one year. Thus, the Lifetime Learning Credit may be particularly helpful to graduate students,students who are only taking one course and those who are not pursuing a degree.Generally, you can claim the Lifetime Learning Credit if all three of the following requirements are met:1. You pay qualified education expenses of higher education.2. You pay the education expenses for an eligible student.3. The eligible student is either yourself, your spouse or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption onyour tax return.If you're eligible to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit and are also eligible to claim the Hope or AmericanOpportunity Credit for the same student in the same year, you can choose to claim either credit, but not both.If you pay qualified education expenses for more than one student in the same year, you can choose to takecredits on a per-student, per-year basis. This means that, for example, you can claim the Hope or American OpportunityCredit for one student and the Lifetime Learning Credit for another student in the same year.2012 - 2013 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 55Financial Information

If a student's grades for the semester are:SuBJECT GradE Semester Hours CreditENG 111 A 3BUS 110 B 3MAT 140 d 3CIS 111 C 2ACC 120 C 415The grade for each subject will be converted to a grade point. Then the grade point is multiplied by the semesterhours. The result (total quality points) is then divided by the total hours credit to give the grade point average (GPA).Grade Semester QualitySubject Point Hours Credit PointsENG 111 4 x 3 = 12BUS 110 3 x 3 = 9MAT 140 1 x 3 = 3CIS 111 2 x 2 = 4ACC 120 2 x 4 = 815 36Divide 36 by 15 = 2.4 -- The grade point average is 2.4.Grade Reports/CorrectionsGrade reports will be made available to curriculum students within two days after the end of each semesterthrough WebAdvisor. Should a grade correction be necessary, the student will initiate the process with the instructorwho issued the grade. A grade may be changed only through the mutual agreement of the instructor whoissued the grade, the associate dean, and the Vice President of Instruction and Student Development. Grade reportcorrections must be resolved within three (3) weeks after the end of the semester and must be documented by theinstructor on a Change of Grade Form.Grading SystemGrades will be issued to students at the end of each semester. Grade criteria are included on each coursesyllabus and faculty will determine whether to use a 7-point or 10-point grading scale. Students will be gradedby the following letter grade system.

Cheating and plagiarism are threats to thatintegrity; therefore, everyone must work together to prevent their occurrence. Students are expected to performhonestly and to work in every way possible to eliminate cheating by any member of a class. Each faculty memberhas the responsibility to fairly evaluate the academic progress of each student and in doing so may use Safe Assignor other appropriate software to assist with his or her evaluation of written work.DefinitionsAcademic dishonesty is defined as any behavior or action in the classroom, laboratory, clinical site, or distancelearning venue that attempts to deceive the instructor. Examples of academic dishonesty include cheating,plagiarism, or lying.60 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

Cheating is the intent to deceive the instructor in his/her effort to fairly evaluate an academic exercise. Itincludes, but is not limited to, copying another student's homework, class work, or required project (in part orin whole) and handing it in as one's own; giving, receiving, offering, and/or soliciting, or attempting to give,receive, offer, or solicit, information on a quiz, test, or exam; or plagiarism. Electronic devices are prohibitedduring all testing situations, and other situations as determined by the instructor. The use of any such devicesduring testing may be viewed as an attempt to cheat and may result in serious academic sanction. See alsoElectronic Devices Policy.Plagiarism is a form of cheating and lying. Plagiarism can be either deliberate or unintentional, but in eithercase it is the misrepresentation of another person's ideas, words, or statistics as your own original work. Therules and regulations for quoting and citing material in college-level work can be complicated, but in all cases,it is the students' responsibility to understand the citation methods appropriate to the discipline. Sometimesstudents make mistakes that technically result in plagiarism. When this happens, the College recognizes thatit occurred unintentionally. However, intentional plagiarism is a more serious kind of plagiarism that involvesa deliberate lie and an effort to cheat. Intentional plagiarism is a flagrant attempt to deceive the instructor ofan assignment by presenting a whole assignment or parts of an assignment that were written by someone elseas if it were the student's original work. Examples of intentional plagiarism include but are not limited to:1. Taking passages from articles or books and including them in your paper without providing proper citations.2. Taking original ideas from sources and including them in your paper as if they were your own conclusions.3. Cutting and pasting material from the Internet into your paper without citing your sources.4. Letting someone else (a friend, classmate, parent, etc.) write parts of your paper for you.5. Buying a paper from a commercial source and submitting it as your own, or taking a paper from a classmate,friend, or anyone else and submitting it as if you wrote it.6. Submitting drawings, musical compositions, computer files or any other kinds of material created originallyby someone else, and claiming or implying that you created it yourself.SanctionsAny student found by a faculty member to have committed academic dishonesty may be subject to the followingsanctions.

Audit students will not displace degree-seeking students.Student who audit courses with a clinical component do not take part in the clinical aspect of the course. Auditedcourses receive no grade and no quality points. Audit students are expected to adhere to the same attendancepolicy as credit students. Participation in class discussion and examinations is at the discretion of the instructor. Agrade of "AU" is given for record purposes. Students may audit a course twice and a withdrawal will count as anattempt. A grade of "WAU" will be given for withdrawals. Credit by examination will not be allowed for coursesthat have been audited. Audited course hours do not count toward financial aid awards or VA benefits.Course Prerequisite/CorequisiteMany courses have prerequisites. This means that one or more courses must be completed before enrolling inthe course with a listed prerequisite(s). Some courses have corequisite(s). This means that one or more coursesmust be taken at the same time as the course with a listed corequisite or prior to the course to be taken. Prerequisitesand/or corequisites are listed in the course descriptions of this catalog. All students, including special creditstudents and audit students, must meet prerequisite and corequisite requirements.Colleges are responsible for ensuring that students have satisfied prerequisite and corequisite requirements bydocumenting that they have either completed the appropriate courses or have demonstrated that they have the appropriateknowledge and skills required for admission to the course(s). Students may request a Credit by Examination todemonstrate their knowledge and skills of a prerequisite or corequisite course (see Credit by Examination procedures).62 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012 - 2013

Students early registering for classes that require the successful completion of a prerequisite/corequisite, butwho do not successfully complete the requirements of that prerequisite/corequisite, must make appropriate scheduleadjustments within the Administrative Schedule Adjustment period for which they are registered. Students whodo not make those course adjustments will be dropped from any course for which they do not meet prerequisite/corequisite requirements.Course Repeat PolicyStudents who receive a grade of “C” or better on a curriculum course can repeat the course once. Studentswho receive a grade below “C” on a curriculum course may repeat the course until a grade of “C” or better hasbeen obtained.No course may be counted more than once in calculating the total number of hours towards graduation. Onlythe last grade will be used for computing total credit hours attempted and passed, total quality points, and gradepoint averages. Only courses repeated at Wilson Community College will replace grades in computing GPAs.Transfer credit does not replace previous course grades.For financial aid purposes, a student is allowed to repeat a previously passed class once and receive financialaid. Regardless of the grade a student receives on the second attempt of a previously passed class, financial aidwill not be given for future attempts. A student may continue to attempt courses for which a passing grade hasnot been earned and receive financial aid with the exception of the 30 hour limitation on developmental courses.Veterans who wish to repeat a course, for which a passing grade has been earned, will not receive educationalbenefits for repeating the course.Credit By ExaminationA student seeking to exempt a course by examination can do so by following the policies and procedures below:1. The approval and examination process for exempting a course must be completed prior to the fifth classday of the semester in the semester for which the exemption is being sought. Developmental courses(any course that has 0 as the first number in the 3 digit course number) cannot be considered for creditby examination.2. A student seeking approval for credit by examination must register for the class, make the request withhis or her advisor, and complete the Credit by Examination Request form. When the Credit by ExaminationRequest form has been denied or approved, the advisor will inform the student. Upon approval, thestudent will arrange a time with the instructor to take the exam.

Online Course Attendance PolicyStudent success is dependent upon active participation in all instructional activities. Online courses are no differentin this regard; however, participation must be defined in a different manner. Student “attendance” in onlinecourses is defined as "active participation" in the individual course syllabus. Active participation will be trackedthrough submission/completion of assignments by the posted due dates; completion of tests; and communicationwith the instructor. Students who fail to maintain active participation as defined by the course syllabus will bedropped/withdrawn when absent at the 15% point of the course.Telecourse (TV) CoursesTelecourses are college credit courses that are pre-recorded either from PBS and/or purchased video courses.DVDs are made available through the College Library. Students receive the entire course via DVDs and are requiredto return all DVDs at the end of the semester. A $25 fee will be assessed if DVDs are not returned. Untilthis fee is paid, or DVDs are returned, students will be flagged in the system and will be unable to register and/or receive a transcript.Students must complete the required orientation assignment by the census date of the course. The census dateis set by the College to be the sixth instructional day for fall and spring semesters and the third instructional dayfor summer semester and is communicated to students. Students not completing the required orientation assignmentwill be dropped as a Never Attended (NA) student.Telecourse Attendance PolicyStudent “attendance” in telecourses is defined as “active participation” as stated in the individual course syllabus.Active participation will be tracked through submission of weekly assignments by the posted due dates.Students who fail to maintain active participation as defined by the course syllabus will be dropped/withdrawnwhen absent at the 15% point of the course.Hybrid Courses (HY)Hybrid courses are college credit courses in which a significant portion of the learning activities has been movedto nontraditional methods of delivery, and time traditionally spent in the classroom is reduced but not eliminated.Nontraditional methods of delivery will be limited to online, which will utilize the College's learning managementsystem (LMS) of preference. The goal of hybrid courses is to join the best features of face-to-face teaching withthe best features of distance learning to promote active independent learning and reduce class seat time. Studentsmust attend the first class meeting, which is also the census date, on the specified date to receive all pertinentcourse-related information to be successful in hybrid courses or be dropped as a Never Attended (NA) student.Hybrid Attendance PolicyHybrid courses are a combination of classroom and online instruction. Students will meet on campus at designatedtimes indicated in the syllabus. The online component is taught through an online course managementsystem. Students are required to submit assignments as directed in the syllabus, which will include online submission.Students may also be required to conduct research using the Internet and to take quizzes, tests, or examsonline. For the classroom component of this course, the College’s Traditional (on- campus) Attendance Policywill be followed. For the online component, the College’s Distance Learning online (NT) Attendance Policy willbe followed. Students who fail to maintain active participation as defined by the course syllabus will be dropped/withdrawn at the 15% point of the course.North Carolina Information Highway Courses (NCIH)North Carolina Information Highway (NCIH) courses are college credit courses that utilize the InformationHighway as a means of delivery. This technology uses live two-way video and most nearly replicates the traditionalclassroom of any of the technologies. This technology allows us to combine students at remote locationsor from other colleges, universities, or high schools with one instructor. Various courses may be offered throughthis medium.Online Etiquette “Netiquette”Disembodied DiscussionOne of the key features of an online course is that communication is based solely on the written word. Thus,body language, tone of voice, and visual feedback that are part of a traditional classroom are all absent. Assuch, more care should be taken in selecting your words carefully…not less.Distance Learning2012 - 2013 WILSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE 69

Distance LearningTone It DownWritten language can often be misinterpreted. Avoid the use of strong or offensive language, excessiveuse of exclamation marks, and all caps. All caps is equivalent to shouting in a traditional classroom. Askyourself…”Would I say this to the person’s face?” Be careful of informal tone.Keep A Straight FaceIn general, avoid humor and sarcasm. Most often these depend on facial or tone of voice cues which areabsent from text-only messages.On The RecordCommunicating online means your words are being stored, often in a place over which you have little or nocontrol. Once you hit send, it’s gone…there is no taking it back. The Internet is not anonymous, especiallyin online education courses.Remember Where You AreAn online course is still a classroom, and comments that would be inappropriate in a face-to-face classroomare likely to be inappropriate in an online course. It is in the student’s best interest to remember that it is theinstructor who holds the big red pencil.Make Yourself Look Good OnlineFollowing standard English guidelines for punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and abbreviations is alwaysthe best bet. Misspelled words and poorly constructed sentences offer a poor representation of your academicability. Your online work will be judged not only by the quality of your ideas and the correctness of yourresponse but by the quality of your writing.NetspeakElectronic communication is still a young form of communication. Avoid the excessive use of emoticonsand acronyms. To your instructor, who may not be as “social media evolved” as you, understanding thelanguage may be awkward, annoying, and make him or her :-(.Test For Clarity and CivilityYour message may be perfectly clear and civil to you when you composed it and perfectly obtuse and uncivilto your reader when it is read. Try reading your communication aloud, asking a friend orfamily member to read it, or re-read it yourself the next day. You may be surprised athow much smarter most of us get by the next morning.Many of the points made here were taken from The Core Rules of Netiquette,excerpted from the book "Netiquette", by Virginia Shea and the University of WisconsinCollege's online website.

Associate Degree Nursing - Code A45110The Associate Degree Nursing curriculum provides knowledge, skills, and strategies to integrate safety and quality intonursing care, to practice in a dynamic environment, and to meet individual needs which impact health, quality of life, andachievement of potential.Coursework includes and builds upon the domains of health care, nursing practice, and the holistic individual. Contentemphasizes the nurse as a member of the interdisciplinary team providing safe, individualized care while employingevidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics.Graduates of this program are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).Employment opportunities are vast within the global health care system and may include positions within acute, chronic,extended, industrial, and community health care facilities.Explanation of Criminal Background Checks and Drug ScreeningThe North Carolina Board of Nursing regulates all aspects of nursing including education, licensure, and the practiceof nursing by registered nurses and licensed practical nurses to insure the safety and well-being of the public. The NursingPractice Act states that "all applicants for licensure shall consent to a criminal history record check" (G.S. 90-171.48b). TheBoard of Nursing shall ensure that State and national criminal history of each applicant is checked. The Nursing Practice Actdefines criminal history as a "misdemeanor or felony that bears on an applicant's fitness for licensure to practice nursing"which includes the sale and distribution of drugs, alcohol related offenses, or driving while impaired (G.S. 90-171.48(a2)).If the criminal history record reveals one or more convictions that is listed in G.S. 90-171.48(a2), the conviction shall notautomatically bar licensure. The Board of Nursing shall consider a number of factors regarding the conviction(s). If afterreviewing the factors, the Board of Nursing determines that the conviction bears on the applicant's fitness to practice nursingthen licensure will be denied.In the nursing program, students are assigned clinical rotations in a number of participating agencies. Various accreditingbodies, as well as state and federal mandates regulate these agencies. The accrediting bodies or state and federal regulationsmay require that students while practicing in a clinical setting have a criminal background check or drug screening. The drugscreening may be done once, before the student reports to the clinical agency, or randomly, during the clinical experience. Ifthe student has a criminal conviction or tests positive for illicit drugs or drugs for which the student cannot produce a validprescription, the agency may refuse to allow the student to participate in the clinical experience. Wilson Community Collegerecognizes and is fully supportive of the clinical agencies that choose to perform drug tests and/or criminal backgroundchecks on nursing students.All costs associated with criminal background checks and drug screening in the clinical agency are the responsibilityof the student. Criminal background checks for licensure will be done at the expense of the student.Note: If for any reason a student is prohibited from participating in a clinical agency, the student will be dismissed from thenursing program due to the inability to progress and complete the nursing curriculum.Admission Process for Students Fall 2013Admission Policy Fall 2013 for Associate Degree in Nursing ProgramStudents are admitted to Wilson Community College in accordance with policies approved by administration.

Practical Nursing - Code D45660The Practical Nursing Curriculum prepares individuals with the knowledge and skills to provide nursing care to childrenand adults. Students will participate in assessment, planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care.Graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) which is required forpractice as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Employment opportunities include hospitals, rehabilitation/long-term care/home healthfacilities, clinics, and physicians’ offices.Explanation of Criminal Background Checks and Drug ScreeningThe North Carolina Board of Nursing regulates all aspects of nursing including education, licensure, and the practice ofnursing by registered nurses and licensed practical nurses to insure the safety and well-being of the public. The Nursing PracticeAct states that "all applicants for licensure shall consent to a criminal history record check" (G.S. 90-171.48b). The Board ofNursing shall ensure that State and national criminal history of each applicant is checked. The Nursing Practice Act definescriminal history as a "misdemeanor or felony that bears on an applicant's fitness for licensure to practice nursing" which includesthe sale and distribution of drugs, alcohol related offenses, or driving while impaired (G.S. 90-171.48(a2)). If the criminal historyrecord reveals one or more convictions that is listed in G.S. 90-171.48(a2), the conviction shall not automatically bar licensure.The Board of Nursing shall consider a number of factors regarding the conviction(s). If after reviewing the factors, the Boardof Nursing determines that the conviction bears on the applicant's fitness to practice nursing then licensure will be denied.In the nursing program, students are assigned clinical rotations in a number of participating agencies. Various accreditingbodies, as well as state and federal mandates regulate these agencies. The accrediting bodies or state and federal regulationsmay require that students while practicing in a clinical setting have a criminal background check or drug screening. The drugscreening may be done once, before the student reports to the clinical agency, or randomly, during the clinical experience. Ifthe student has a criminal conviction or tests positive for illicit drugs or drugs for which the student cannot produce a validprescription, the agency may refuse to allow the student to participate in the clinical experience. Wilson Community Collegerecognizes and is fully supportive of the clinical agencies that choose to perform drug tests and/or criminal background checkson nursing students.If a nursing student is prohibited from participating in a clinical agency based on the criminal background or positive drug screening,the student will be dismissed from the nursing program due to the inability to progress and complete the nursing curriculum.All costs associated with criminal background checks and drug screening in the clinical agency are the responsibility ofthe student. Criminal background checks for licensure will be done at the expense of the student.Admission Policy for Fall 2013 for Practical Nursing ProgramStudents are admitted to Wilson Community College in accordance with policies approved by administration.
