GENERAL INFORMATION Academic Policies continued Repeating a Course No course may be repeated more than twice. The highest grade received will be used in calculating the student’s academic average. This does not apply to those courses that are designed to be repeated for additional credit. A request for waiver of these standards shall be made to the Dean of Academic Affairs. College transcripts will record all attempts at classes and the grades earned in each attempt. Students should note that, while MCC will not use repeated grades in calculating GPA, colleges to which they are applying for transfer may use a different method to make such a calculation. Incomplete Grades Granting of an Incomplete: 1. An Incomplete is a temporary grade assigned by the faculty member when coursework is missing and the student agrees to complete the requirements. Although a student may request an Incomplete, the faculty member is not required to honor the request. The faculty member should assign an Incomplete when there are extenuating circumstances such as illness that prevent a student from completing the assigned work on time and the student has completed most of the course requirements and, in the judgment of the faculty member, the student can complete the remaining work within the time limit established by system policy. 2. A faculty member who assigns an Incomplete shall file a system report form that includes: 16 (a) a brief description of the requirements to be completed; (b) the date by which the coursework must be submitted to the faculty member, which is the end of the tenth week of the next standard semester; (c) a statement that the Incomplete will change to a specified letter grade if the work is not completed by the end of the tenth week of the next standard semester. The faculty member shall keep the original signed form, with copies to the student, the faculty member, the Registrar, and the division director. 3. All Incompletes must convert to a letter grade by the end of the following semester. If a student submits the required work on time, the faculty member shall calculate a grade to replace the Incomplete and submit it to the Registrar by the end of the semester. If a student fails to complete or submit the required work by the specified time, or if the faculty member fails to submit a replacement grade, the Registrar shall convert the Incomplete to the letter grade specified in the report form, and that letter grade shall be entered on the student transcript. 4. Students with an Incomplete are temporarily ineligible for semester or graduation honors. Upon conversion of the Incomplete to a letter grade, students may retroactively receive semester or graduation honors, and such recognition shall appear on the transcript, provided that the student has earned the required grade point average. Audit This status allows students to participate in class activities without being required to meet the examination requirements of the course. A student who wishes to change from credit to audit status must request this from the Registrar’s office within the first four weeks of the course. Full tuition and fees are charged for courses audited. Financial aid does NOT COVER AUDITED CLASSES. Transcripts Requests for official transcripts must be made either by personally completing a transcript request form in the Registrar’s office, or by obtaining a transcript request form online at www.mcc.commnet.edu. Click on "Current Students" and select "Transcript Request Form." No telephone requests will be accepted. A charge of $3 is required for each transcript. Graduation Requirements Degree and Certificate Students: Graduation is not automatic. The Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges, through Manchester Community College, is authorized by the Connecticut General Assembly to confer associate in art, and associate in science degrees, and award certificates to candidates who have met all requirements. The College also awards certificates upon successful completion of planned programs of study. It is the student’s responsibility to follow through EARLY and to meet all requirements listed below. If you have any questions, meet with your program coordinator or a counselor. • Follow the catalog in effect when you declared your major. If you change your major you will be required to follow the catalog for that year. • Notify Registrar if you are completing requirements at another college. • Submit official transcripts from other colleges to the Admissions office for transfer of credit. This must be completed by the application deadline to insure participation. • Matriculate (enroll in credit-bearing courses applicable to the requirements of a degree or certificate program). • Satisfactorily complete the total credits required in major (degree—minimum of 60 credits; certificate—15 credits). • Complete course requirements with a minimum GPA of 2.0 or better. (The College reserves the right not to recommend transfer students with a GPA lower than 2.5.) • Satisfy all financial obligations (library, parking fines). • Complete residency requirement for 25 percent of course work. • Submit an application and a non-refundable $37.00 graduation fee for each degree or certificate by deadline date. • File grades for all incompletes and approved course variances with the Registrar’s office. Application for Graduation (Degrees and Certificates): GRADUATION IS NOT AUTOMATIC. Each student who expects to graduate must submit a separate application and a $37.00 non-refundable graduation fee for each degree or certificate earned, even if they do not plan on participating in commencement. The graduation application is available in campus literature racks, or from the Registrar, Counseling, Career, and Assistant to the Dean of Students offices. Students who will complete all academic work by December 2005 must complete a graduation application for a degree and/or certificate by October 1, 2005. Students who will complete academic work by May 2006 must complete the application by March 1, 2006. Each student’s application will be reviewed and the student’s program of study will be checked and verified by the graduate auditor. If a student did not meet their graduation requirements, they need to reapply and pay a $37.00 non-refundable re-application fee. Students are required to reapply each semester and pay an additional graduation application fee of $37.00 by the deadline dates, and the student’s name will be placed on the following semester’s graduation list.
There will be only one commencement ceremony in the spring of each year. Regardless of graduation completion dates, all graduates are invited to attend Commencement. Students who wish to earn a second degree from Manchester Community College will be required to complete a minimum of 15 credits beyond the number required for the initial degree, and fulfill all requirements of the second degree. The Registrar’s office will notify students in writing of the results of the evaluation/audit. Short Four Credits: 1. Students who have applied by the deadline and are short four (or fewer) credits to graduate, may request special permission to participate in the ceremony. However, the student's name may not be printed in the program and their certificate/degree will not be ordered until the next cycle after all requirements have been met. 2. The degree will be conferred the following December and an additional Graduation Application and fee are required. Student Responsibilities Attendance Policy The faculty of Manchester Community College believe that regular and prompt class attendance is necessary for a student to benefit from the learning experience. Specific attendance requirements will be set by each individual instructor. Academic Integrity Manchester Community College is committed to academic integrity. An academically honest student submits for evaluation only such work, including tests, papers, reports, presentations, or ideas that have been written, performed or created solely by that student. On those occasions when the stated rules of a course permit collaborative efforts, the contributions of other individuals and sources should be appropriately acknowledged. It is, at all times, the responsibility of the student to maintain conduct consistent with the concept and definition of academic integrity, including not only the avoidance of plagiarism, but also other actions further outlined under College Policies in the MCC Student Handbook. Plagiarism Plagiarism is defined by Webster’s New Universal Unabridged Dictionary as the act of taking someone else’s idea, writing or work, and passing it off as one’s own. If you fail to give credit to the source of the material, whether directly quoted or put in your own words, this lack of credit constitutes plagiarism. Whether you take, buy, or receive material from the internet, from a book, from another student, or from any other source, and you fail to give credit, you are stealing ideas; you are engaged in plagiarizing. Plagiarism: 1) is a serious violation of academic standards and has serious academic consequences for the student, 2) at the discretion of the instructor, may result in failure of the submitted work or failure for the course, and 3) as an act of academic dishonesty, may result in additional disciplinary action by the College, as indicated in the MCC Student Handbook, College Policies, under the heading “Student Discipline,” section 2, number 9: Academic Dishonesty. Students Rights Review of Academic Decisions Students are evaluated and awarded credit based upon academic performance and without regard to personality, race, gender, religion, personal beliefs or on the basis of a previous complaint/grievance. A student may request review of a grade or other decisions affecting academic status in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ policies. (Complete texts of these policies are available in the office of the Dean of Students.) The informal procedure that follows is suggested as the way a student would begin: A student who has an academic grievance may discuss it first with the instructor or staff person involved, with a counselor, or with an administrator (for example: division director, dean.) If this discussion does not resolve the matter, the student should discuss the complaint with the supervisor of the person towards whom it is directed. Within 15 calendar days of the student’s awareness of the academic decision, if a satisfactory resolution still has not been achieved, the student should proceed in accordance with the grievance procedure in the Student Handbook titled “Student Rights,” Section 3: Review of Academic Standing. (A copy of the official text of “Review of Academic Standing” can be obtained from the office of the Dean of Students.) Release of Personally Identifiable Student Records The student’s permission is required for the release of any information other than “directory information”: name and address, dates of attendance, full- vs. part-time student status, and date of graduation. For the purposes of access by military recruiters only, telephone listings and, if known, age, level of education and major, are also designated as directory information. Students may request in writing that directory information concerning them not be released. (The only exception: information can be released to parents without student permission if the student is listed as a dependent on the parent’s tax return.) A complete statement about this subject is available for inspection in the office of the Dean of Students. Sexual Harassment Board Policy Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that is illegal under state and federal law and is also prohibited by the Board of Trustees’ Nondiscrimination Policy. This policy is available in the following offices: Center for Student Development, Personnel, Dean of Students, Academic Affairs and Library. Transfer Policies (Policy Statement from the Board of Trustees for Connecticut Community-Technical Colleges) Transfer into a Connecticut Community College: At all regional community colleges, degree credit shall be granted for credit courses completed at all institutions within the Connecticut State System of Higher Education and at all other accredited collegiate institutions in accordance with the following: 1. Degree credit shall be granted for all credit courses that are applicable to the objectives of, or equivalent to the course requirements of, the curriculum in which the transferring student enrolls. Credit work that is not applicable or equivalent to curriculum requirements shall be accepted for credit at the discretion of the college. Degree credit shall also be granted on the basis of performance on examinations in accordance with standards and limits approved by the Board of Trustees. 2. Credit courses completed with a grade of “Pass” (P) shall be accepted only for degree credit; the “Pass” grade assigned by other institutions shall not be included in computation of grade point averages. 3. Degree credit shall be granted for credit courses completed with a passing letter grade of “C” or better. Such credit courses shall be accepted only for credit, and letter grades assigned by other institutions shall not be recorded or included in computations of student grade point averages. 17 GENERAL INFORMATION
