of

College Counseling Center and/or Health Services Office. A student who stops attending without officially withdrawing will receive
an "F" for the course.
Change in Major
A student may change his or her major by completing a change form to be obtained from the Enrollment Services Center. This
form must be signed by the student and his or her adviser, then returned to the Enrollment Services Center and approved by the
registrar prior to an official change of major.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat a course in which they received an “F” until the course is successfully completed. In those cases where
credit was awarded, the higher grade earned is the only grade entered in the computation of the grade point average, but the original
attempt and grade will remain on the student’s official transcript.
If a student is eligible for Title IV funding, i.e. Federal PELL or SEOG grants, and any Federal Direct Loan, they may repeat a
successfully completed course only once. Additional retakes of a completed course will result in the loss of the student’s Federal
funding, if eligible.

ROTC
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
The Reserve Officer Training Corps Programs of the United States Army and Air Force are available to Cazenovia College
students. Both programs are designed to produce junior officers (second lieutenants) for their respective service. Programs of study
vary from one to four years in length all leading to a commission.
Air Force ROTC
The Air Force ROTC Program is available to any Cazenovia College student and is held at Syracuse University. The traditional
program consists of four years of academic and leadership courses, beginning in the freshman year. These courses are all taught at
Syracuse University, and the students are required to provide their own travel between Cazenovia College and Syracuse to attend
classes. Typically a Cazenovia student is only required to travel to Syracuse University once per week. During the summer between
the sophomore and junior year, students are required to attend Field Training, a four-week military encampment that must be
successfully completed to continue in Air Force ROTC. Other programs, such as free-fall and rising sophomore program, combat
survival school, and jump school, are also available during the summer months, and are all voluntary. While the four-year program is
traditional, arrangements can be made for sophomores and juniors who wish to join Air Force ROTC and seek a commission in the
Air Force.
Career opportunities in the Air Force include pilot, navigator, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, nursing, communications and
electronics, computer science, space and missile operations, civil, mechanical, aerospace, and electrical engineering, logistics,
personnel, finance, contracting, and security police. Opportunities also exist for lawyers, doctors, and numerous other specialties.
Service obligations are four years for most careers upon commissioning. Rated careers such as pilot, navigator, and ABM have
longer commitments after commissioning due to the extra schooling required to prepare for the career. Interested students should
call 315.443.2461, e-mail: afdet535@syr.edu, or visit http://afrotc.syr.edu for more information.
Summer Courses
Summer courses allow students an opportunity to take one or two courses during a five-week session following the end of the
spring semester. Since courses are held during a shorter period of time, five weeks, students can enroll in only six credits. Internships
done during the summer may be extended past the five-week session.
Summer coursework is outside of the academic year and is charged tuition in addition to fall and/or spring semesters.
