Award years run from July 1 toJune 30.Summer enrollment is attached as a "trailer" to thepreceding award year. <strong>SUNY</strong> <strong>Orange</strong> offers a numberof summer sessions of differing lengths in an effort tobe responsive to the needs of the student body. Forthe purposes of federal financial aid programs, theseparate sessions are combined into one term.The new regulations allow a student to receivefunds from a second scheduled award within an awardyear if the student is enrolled for credit hoursattributable to a second academic year within thataward year. The student need not have completed afull academic year's worth of coursework prior to thepayment period in which the second scheduled awardfunds are paid. For example, a student earned 9credits in the fall semester and 9 credits in the springsemester. Since <strong>SUNY</strong> <strong>Orange</strong> uses 24 credits todefine the academic year and places summer in theconcluding award year, the student would need toenroll for more than 6 credits in the summer term tobe paid funds out of the second scheduled award (6credits to finish the first academic year's worth ofwork, plus some additional number of credits thatcount toward the second academic year). This studentwould be paid any remaining first scheduled awardfunds plus the amount of second scheduled awardfunds needed to make up the payment for the term ascalculated under the appropriate Pell formula.Special Adjustments for children of deceasedservice membersThe Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008grants an automatic zero EFC for the Pell GrantProgram ONLY to Pell Grant eligible students whoseparent or guardian was a member of the ArmedForces and died in Iraq or Afghanistan afterSeptember 11, 2001.Eligibility ExclusionsEffective July 1, 2009, an individual subject toinvoluntary civil confinement or civil commitmentupon completion of a period of incarceration for aforcible or non-forcible sexual crime is ineligible for aPell Grant.PROGRAMS FOR DEPENDENTS OF VETERANSThe Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008grants an automatic zero EFC for the Pell GrantProgram† ONLY to Pell Grant eligible studentswhose parent or guardian was a member of theArmed Forces and died in Iraq or Afghanistan afterSeptember 11, 2001. Eligibility guidelinesA student must have been twenty-four years of ageor less or enrolled at least part-time at an institutionat the time of the parent's death.Legislators do not believe that this should be anadditional question on the FAFSA, rather theSecretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs shouldprovide the Secretary of Education with theinformation necessary to determine which studentsmeet the requirement. Because the question is not onthe FAFSA, students will need to notify the Office ofFinancial Aid concerning their eligibility for thisadditional benefit.The Higher Education Opportunity Act's TechnicalCorrections Bill was signed it into law on July 1,2009.This bill:• Sets the "Expected Family Contribution" (EFC)at zero for children of soldiers killed in Iraq orAfghanistan after 9/11/01, if the student wasunder 24 years old at the time or enrolled in an24 www.sunyorange.edu <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>2011</strong>

If <strong>SUNY</strong> <strong>Orange</strong>does not originate the loan by the earlier of thesetwo dates, the loan can not be disbursed.• Be sure to carefully keep all correspondenceregarding your loan.EDUCATION EXPENSES DEFINEDStudent loans are to be used only for “educationexpenses” which include tuition, fees, books, suppliesand equipment, living expenses, cost of care for adependent child, transportation, and the cost to rent orbuy a computer.CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT STATUSYou are responsible for keeping the Direct LoanServicing Center at https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action and the Financial AidOffice up-to-date on any changes in your status, suchas:• You changed your name and/or address• You did not enroll at least half-time for the loanperiod certified by the school• You did not enroll at the school which certifiedyour loan• You stopped attending or dropped below halftimeenrollment• You transferred from one school to another• You changed your enrollment (which can have anegative impact on the amount of your loan andcould cause a reduction in disbursements)• You graduatedAt the time you graduate, withdraw, or drop belowhalf-time enrollment, you will begin the six-monthgrace period for your subsidized and/or unsubsidizedloans. Immediately after the grace period ends, youmust begin to repay your loan.PAYING INTEREST WHILE IN SCHOOLYou can choose whether to make interest paymentswhile you are in school or to defer these payments byadding them to the rest of the loan to be repaid later.You can determine how much more it will cost to deferinterest payments with the loan calculator athttps://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.actionWHEN YOU LEAVE SCHOOLGRADUATING, WITHDRAWING, ORDROPPING BELOW HALF-TIMEENROLLMENTBefore you leave school or drop below half-time, youmust complete an online exit Interview athttps://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action.Whether you are graduating, withdrawing, ordropping below half-time enrollment, you will begin asix-month grace period, after which your repaymentperiod will begin.

Financial AidCHOOSING A REPAYMENT PLANYou will have a choice among several repaymentplans:• Standard ten-year repayment• Repayment extended to 25 years for those withover $30,000 worth of student loans• Graduated repayment with payments increasingover the years• Repayment based on incomeYou are free to change your plan at any time duringthe loan process.CONSOLIDATION OF MULTIPLE STUDENTLOANSEven if you have taken out student loans at othercolleges, they can all be consolidated, along with yourcurrent loan, into one loan with one monthlypayment. Consolidation will usually extend the loanrepaymentperiod, but note that such an extensionresults in additional interest costs. For additionalinformation on loan consolidation, see theconsolidation website athttp://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/.THE REPAYMENT PERIODThe length of the repayment period varies with theplans. If you don’t select any particular repaymentplan, you will automatically be put in the standardplan with fixed monthly payments for up to 10 years.This plan saves you the most money over time becauseit doesn’t have interest added during an extendedrepayment period. Another plan starts with lowrepayment amounts and slowly increases the amountover time. No matter what plan you are in, you canchange your plan at any time. Click on RepayingYour Loans at http://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/MAKING PAYMENTS ELECTRONICALLYInstead of mailing in a check every month, carefullytimed to meet the due date, you can opt for anelectronic debit account in which your bankautomatically make your monthly payments directlyout of your checking or savings account. Your firstrepayment bill will explain how to sign up for thisoption. A big advantage of making automaticrepayments is that there will be a reduction in yourinterest rate of 0.25% during any period in which yourpayments are made electronically.DIFFICULTY MAKING PAYMENTSIf you have trouble making your loan payments,contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center. You maybe able to arrange for deferment or forbearance onyour account.‘Deferment’ can postpone loan repayment for agiven time period if the student meets the followingqualifications: Student is enrolled at least half-time incollege, or student is unemployed and/or is eligible for‘economic hardship’, or student is in military service.In the case of a Subsidized Loan, interest does notaccrue during deferment.‘Forbearance’ is for those who do not qualify fordeferment, yet are temporarily unable to make loanrepayments. Arrangements can be made with theDirect Loan Service Center to extend the time tomake repayments, or stop making payments, ortemporarily make smaller payments.Deferment and forbearance are two kinds ofarrangements you can make with the Direct LoanService Center. Unless you make such anarrangement, you risk going into ‘default’—which hasserious consequences. (Students who are already indefault are not eligible for deferment or forbearance.)To apply for deferment or forbearance athttp://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/, Click onContact Us, then Manage Your Account, thenDeferment Request or Forbearance Request.Your loan becomes ‘delinquent’ when your paymentis not received by the due date. The Service Centerwill send you a reminder if your payment is late, and,if your payment is still not received, warning noticeswill be sent to you.NOTE: If you are delinquent, contact the DirectLoan Service Center immediately to learn how to bringyour account current. Late fees may be added and youraccount reported to one or more credit bureaus—butthis is better than going into default.PLUS LOANS FOR PARENTSThe Direct Loan program offers low-interest loansto students and parents and is funded by the USGovernment, not a bank.

Students will have the option ofmeeting with the Developmental Review Board todiscuss their circumstances before decisions aremade.• Students who receive grades of DVH or DVF in aparticular developmental course will be allowedto repeat that developmental course only twoadditional times for a total of three attempts. Ifstudents do not successfully complete a particulardevelopmental course by the third attempt, theywill be separated from the college for one year.Upon their return to the college, students will begranted one attempt to successfully repeat thecourse(s).

Asigned waiver form approved by the departmentchairperson must be filed with Records andRegistration. Students with credits earned at aprevious institution are urged to check with theRecords & Registration Office to determineappropriate course equivalencies.Note: Course prerequisites are available on-line aspart of the catalog in the course descriptions area andalso on-line as part of the course section searchfeature. A student without the appropriateprerequisites or waiver can be withdrawn from thecourse by the instructor or by the registrar.Course Outline/SyllabusCourse outlines and/or syllabi are distributed tostudents and appropriate department chairs at thebeginning of each semester.

Ifaudited courses are included in 12 credits of coursework, a student may become ineligible for TAP andother financial aid programs.Credit LoadCredit load refers to the total number of credits astudent is taking in a semester. Twelve or more creditsper semester is considered a full-time course load;while ½ to 11½ credits per semester is consideredpart-time.Students generally may schedule their classes in theday or evening, or both, in accordance with theirparticular needs. However, if a student wants to takemore than the maximum credit load, (19.5 or morecredits in a semester, or 8.5 or more in a summersession) the appropriate associate vice president mustapprove.Schedule Changes and WithdrawalsOnce a student’s course schedule is created, thestudent receives a computerized printout and has hisor her name added to the rosters for each course andsection. Student schedules will be given only to thestudent, who must also show proper photoidentification. Should a student need to change anyportion of his or her schedule, or to withdraw fromthe College during the semester, the following policieshave been established:Deadline for Schedule ChangesThe time set aside by the College for students tochange their schedules, usually referred to as the“drop/add period,” is the first week of a 15-weeksemester (Fall and <strong>Spring</strong>), or the equivalent duringthe summer sessions or accelerated course timeperiods.

Grades and Grading / Academic StandingGrades and GradingGrades, Quality Points and CumGPA<strong>SUNY</strong> <strong>Orange</strong> uses a four-point grading system,based on letter grades of A, B, C, D and F. Each gradeis assigned a numeric value:A = 4.00 A- = 3.67B+ = 3.33 B = 3.00 B- = 2.67C+ = 2.33 C = 2.00 C- = 1.67D+ = 1.33 D = 1.00 D- = .67F = 0To calculate quality points, multiply the number ofcredits of a course by the numeric value of the gradeearned. For example: An A (4 quality points) inFreshman English 1 (3 credits) produces 12 qualitypoints (4 x 3 = 12) and a C- (1.67 quality points) inCalculus 1 (4 credits) produces 6.68 quality points (1.67x4 = 6.68).To determine academic average for a given semester,divide the quality points earned by the number ofsemester hour credits calculated (SemGPA). The sameformula, dividing the total number of quality pointsby the total number of credits calculated, is used tocalculate the cumulative quality point average(CumGPA).All credit courses taken at the College are calculatedinto the Cumulative GPA unless the student has beenawarded a Fresh Start (see Fresh Start Policy).Transfer credits do not affect the cumulative <strong>SUNY</strong><strong>Orange</strong> GPA. The College accepts only transfercredits, but not the grades.However, when calculating academic average, thefollowing special grades do not count as creditscalculated:PP (Pass) indicates satisfactory performance in aphysical activity coursePF (Fail) is received for unsatisfactory performancein a physical activity courseI (Incomplete) work unfinished due to unavoidablecircumstancesW (Withdrawal) indicates that the student withdrewby the deadline or was withdrawn by theinstructorM (Medical Withdrawal) withdrawal from a coursebased upon documented health reasonsN (Non-credit) indicates a credit course was takenfor no creditDVP (Developmental Pass) indicates satisfactoryperformance in a developmental course.DVF (Developmental Fail) is received forunsatisfactory performance in a developmentalcourse.DVH (Hold) indicates a degree of progress wasmade in a developmental course but not sufficientenough to warrant a grade of P (Pass)To clear a grade of I (Incomplete) from the record,work must be completed by the deadline indicated onthe Incomplete Form, which can be no later than theend of the next semester, Fall or <strong>Spring</strong>. If the work isnot completed, the I grade will become an F. It is thestudent’s responsibility to remain in contact with theinstructor and submit work by the deadline. A gradeof I will be calculated as an F for graduation purposes.Academic StandingCumGPA: 2.00 - 4.00CumGPA: 1.50 - 1.99CumGPA: 0.0-1.49(less than 30credit hourscompleted+)Good StandingAcademicProbationAcademic ProbationCumGPA: 0.00 - 1.49 Probation(30 or more if SemGPA* is 2.0 orCredit hours highercompleted+)Separationif SemGPA* is 0.00 – 1.99CumGPA - Cumulative grade point average+ Grades of W, I, H, M, N or Pass/Fail in developmentaland physical activity courses do not apply* SemGPA - Semester grade point averageGood Academic StandingStudents who have achieved a CumGPA(cumulative grade point average) of 2.0 or higher atthe College are designated in good academic standing.Mid-Semester Progress ReportsCommunication between instructors and studentsregarding the student’s progress in college classesgenerally takes place before or after class or duringoffice hours. In addition, students whose work isbelow the level of “C” may receive a Mid-SemesterProgress Report. This “unsatisfactory” report doesnot go on a student’s college transcript, but should beconsidered official notification that the student shouldspeak with the instructor about his or her progress.Students may also wish to speak with an academicadvisor or counselor.Dean's ListAll students who have completed 12 or moreacademic credits in a semester and who have earned aSemGPA (semester average) of 3.0, and who are not onacademic probation, are placed on the Dean’s List. Theprior policy regarding part-time student Dean’s List isnot in effect at this time.<strong>Spring</strong> <strong>2011</strong>www.sunyorange.edu39

A new consent form wouldbe required each academic year or when access toadditional educational records not covered in theprevious consent form on file are being requested.If the consent form does not specify the actualeducational records to be inspected or simply statessomething equivalent to “all educational records”, theonly records that will be disclosed are those thatappear on the most current academic transcript.According to FERPA regulations, an institution hasup to 45 days after receipt of a valid consent form toarrange for the inspection/disclosure of the specifiededucational records.

Academicprogress is reported to students with the expectationthat this information will be part of on-goingdiscussions with parents/guardians.If said discussions are not taking place with thestudent, the Family Educational Rights and PrivacyAct has provided two ways in which parents/guardiansof dependent students may inspect the educationalrecords of the student.The first is to obtain a signed written consent fromthe student and submit consent to the registrar in theRecords and Registration Office.If the student is unwilling to provide a signedwritten consent, the final alternative is for theparents/guardians to provide the registrar with a copyof the preceding year’s tax returns to demonstrate thestudent is a tax dependent. The copy provided musthave either been completed by a third party(accountant, tax preparer, etc.) or be an official fullcomplete copy (not the shortened version) from theInternal Revenue Service. Information on how toobtain this version can be found by contacting theIRS Office at (800) 829-1040. When thedocumentation is submitted, the parents/guardiansmust also specify the records to be inspected. If therequest simply states something equivalent to “alleducational records,” the only educational recordsthat will be disclosed are those that appear on themost current academic transcript.Student Rights and ResponsibilitiesConduct Expected of StudentsSee the Code of Student Conduct published in theStudent Handbook.

While otheropportunities exist, the largest job opportunities are positionsas interns / CAD operators for architectural firms. Graduates’skills will prepare them to produce working drawings in avariety of settings, such as engineering firms ormanufacturers. If graduates have field experience in abuilding trade, all program outcomes are directly transferableto entry-level positions in construction management andsupervision. A broad cross-section of course content iscovered in the program; this familiarizes students with manyaspects of the architectural profession, the work of buildingprofessionals and the construction process.When working under the supervision of a licensedprofessional (i.e. Registered Architect, Professional Engineer,etc.), a graduate’s primary responsibilities would includemeasuring and documenting existing conditions of buildingsand sites, preparing construction documents, interpretingconstruction documents, preparing design presentations forclients or other audiences, and coordinating architecturaldrawings with consultants’ drawings.Fluency with computer-aided drawing (AutoCAD) andcomputer literacy, as it applies to generating architecturaldrawings, are fundamental skills graduates will possess.Meanwhile, freehand sketching is stressed wherever possibleas a valuable communication method. Beyond preparingconstruction drawings, students will build models, preparereports and orally present their work to groups.Most courses in the program are a combination of lectureand lab. In the lecture component, foundational material ispresented, often accompanied by samples, examples or othervisual cues. In the lab component, students will either workon short-term exercises designed to hone very specificknowledge bases or skills or they will work on long-termprojects designed to simulate the types of projects that theywill eventually encounter in the workforce. Students shouldbe prepared to spend a significant amount of time on projectsoutside the classroom.Many students who enter this degree program plan totransfer to an upper division institution. Because theseopportunities exist, second year students who intend totransfer should select their courses in careful consultationwith their academic advisor. Portfolio production will berequired.For those students wishing to become RegisteredArchitects, New York State Department of Educationguidelines must be followed. To become a RegisteredArchitect, one must earn an NAAB-accredited Bachelor ofArchitecture or Master of Architecture degree, fulfillNCARB internship requirements (a proscribed three yearapprenticeship), and pass a challenging and comprehensivelicensing examination.70 www.sunyorange.edu <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>2011</strong>
