You will be notified via your Del Mar College email account once your request has been completed. It is highly encouraged to submit your admission documentation as soon as possible to ensure timely evaluation. Be aware that even though a course transfers to a specific institution from Del Mar College, if the course was taken elsewhere, it may not transfer and would not count as a Del Mar College credit. This is especially true for courses taken at private institutions and when semester credit hours differ. Transfer Disputes The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has established the following procedures for Del Mar College to resolve transfer disputes involving lower division courses: • If Del Mar College does not accept course credit earned by you at another institution of higher education, Del Mar College will give written notice to you and the other institution that the transfer of the course credit is denied. • The two institutions and you shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines. • If the transfer dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction or to the satisfaction of the institution at which the credit was earned, within 45 days after the date you received written notice of the denial, Del Mar College will notify the commissioner of the THECB of its denial and the reason for the denial. The commissioner of higher education, or the commissioner’s designee, will make the final determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice to you and the institutions. You may consult with the College’s Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services throughout this process. Admissions Conditions When transferring, there are four conditions of admission. 1. If you are eligible for readmission to your former college, you are eligible for admission to Del Mar College. 2. If you are on scholastic probation, you will be admitted under the same status at Del Mar College. 3. If you are on scholastic suspension, you must appeal for admissions through the Registrar’s Office. 4. If you are on disciplinary probation at your former college, you must appear before the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention before registering.

You must correct residency problems within the first week of the term to receive any type of refund. Acceptable Documentation If you have been living in the State of Texas for 12 consecutive months prior to the start of the term, you may be eligible for in-state tuition. The following are examples of acceptable proof that may be used to establish Texas residency. • Texas high school or college transcript showing enrollment one year prior, • Employer’s statement confirming employment in Texas for the previous full year, • Deed, mortgage papers, or property tax statements that name you as the Texas property owner (appropriately dated), • Valid Texas driver’s license that is at least one year old at the time of enrollment, or • Utility bills, cancelled checks, rent receipts or lease agreements showing your Texas address for the previous full year.

Non-Texas Resident If you originally came to Texas from another state for the purpose of attending an educational institution, you are presumed to be nonresident unless you have legally established residency under the rules of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Rules: Chapter 21. Please consult with the Registrar’s Office to verify that you have the appropriate documents. Establishing Residency of Military/Military Dependents In order to qualify for in-state and in-district tuition, if you are a military service member or military dependent, you must submit a letter from the commanding officer or from the individual assigned to handle such duty, verifying Texas as the state of duty station.

If you change your name, address, social security number or major, you are required to submit the changes to the Registrar’s Office. A Social Security number or name change requires a legal document to support the change. Any communication from the College using information you provided for its files is considered to be properly delivered.

Veterans Services and Benefits

Del Mar College’s programs are approved for those who wish to attend and receive benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB-AD-Chapter 30), Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR-Chapter 1606), Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP-Chapter 1607), Veterans Education Assistance Program (VEAP), Education Assistance Test Program (Section 901), Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program (DEA-Chapter 35), the National Call to Service Program, and Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31). The monthly rate of payment to veterans is determined by Public Law 94-502. Students attending Texas public institutions of higher education must be in compliance with the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), as of Fall 2003 (Texas Education Code 51.3062) in order to enroll in public institutions of higher education. The law requires all entering college students to be assessed for college readiness in reading, mathematics and writing unless the student qualifies for an exemption. Each student must be placed in a developmental education program designed to help the student achieve college readiness. Veteran Exemption A student who on or after August 1, 1990, was honorably discharged, retired or released from active duty as a member of the armed forces of the United States or the Texas National Guard or service as a member of the reserve component of the armed forces of the United States may be exempted. The veteran must provide a valid DD214. Military Exemption A student who is serving on active duty as a member of the armed forces of the United States, The Texas National Guard or as a member of a reserve component of the armed forces of the United States and has been serving for at least three years preceding enrollment may be exempted. The service member must provide a valid statement of service from his or her unit of assignment. You are strongly encouraged to consider placement testing under the TSI. Even though you may qualify for the exemption and may be placed directly into college level courses in math and English, this placement may not actually be appropriate based on your academic skills. Taking the placement test will give you a good idea of the appropriate level of coursework. This may help you be more successful in your studies. If you are eligible for this exemption, and elect to take the exemption it is irreversible and you may not be eligible to utilize VA benefits for future developmental coursework. Please contact the Director of the College Veterans Center for more information.

Prior to Enrollment

Prior to enrollment, if you are planning to attend classes and utilize veteran benefits, you should contact the Veteran Services Office to inquire about required documentation relative to your enrollment and “certification” of attendance to the Veterans Administration. 30

GETTING STARTED

Upon Enrollment

Prior to certification of your initial semester, you must provide an approved, signed degree plan to Veterans Services. Degree plans are available through the Student Enrollment Center or through departmental advisors. Be sure to have copies of all previous transcripts for initial counseling sessions. You do not have the option of having prior credit reviewed. All previous education and training must be provided to the school for review. This includes all credits from postsecondary institutions and military credits. You may have your military transcript converted to Texas Credit by submitting a College Credit for Heroes Application. For more information refer to www.collegecreditforheroes.org/ or contact the Veterans Services Office.

Close of First Semester

At the close of the first semester or upon the successful completion of 12 semester hours, you should have military credit and any transfer credits from prior education evaluated and furnish Veterans Services with a copy of the updated degree plan.

Each Semester

Each semester, you must advise the Veterans Services Office of courses in which you are enrolled and request certification of Veterans benefits. Courses at Del Mar College are approved for veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training. It is your responsibility to inform Veterans Services Office of any changes in enrollment status. The VA will not be notified of your enrollment or request for benefits if you fail to complete a request for certification for each semester that you intend to use veterans benefits. Requests for VA certification must be received no later than the payment deadline for the registration period.

Standards of Progress for Veterans Satisfactory

If you are receiving VA education benefits, you must make satisfactory academic progress by maintaining a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) each enrollment period.

Unsatisfactory

The first term you fall below a 2.0 grade point average will result in your being placed on probation. If you fail to meet the minimum standard the next semester, you will be placed on suspension. Failure to achieve the required GPA will cause the benefits to be terminated until the GPA is satisfactory. If you are enrolled in a one-semester certificate program and do not maintain a 2.0 GPA or better, you will be reported to the Veterans Administration for unsatisfactory progress. You will have only one more opportunity to retake the program and be eligible to receive VA benefits.

Eligibility

To regain eligibility, you must register for at least half time in the next semester at your own expense and earn at least a 2.0 grade point average. (Hazlewood exemption may be used during this time if you are deemed eligible by the Veterans Services Office).

Appeal

If you have mitigating circumstances that caused you not to make satisfactory progress, you may appeal to the Veterans Administration. 31

GETTING STARTED

Veterans Semester Hour Classification

The Veterans Administration uses the semester hour classification scale below to determine your payment. The number of semester hours enrolled at this college is reported to the Veterans Administration. This classification scale is used only for the fall and spring semesters. The summer sessions are calculated differently. To ensure classification, contact Veterans Services. Semester Classification Semester Classification Hours Hours 1-5 1⁄4 time 9-11 3⁄4 time 6-8 1⁄2 time 12 or more Full-time The monthly rates of payment to veterans are provided for by Public Law 94-502.

Veterans Registration Process

If you have a complete admissions file, you may register on the Web or through your advisor on campus. See Website for details about dates, times and procedures for registration. If you have less than 24 hours of credit, you must see an advisor before registering for classes. Tuition and fee charges must be paid at the time of registration, which is not complete until all payments have been made. The Veteran Services Office will work closely with the Business Office and Cashier to ensure that prospective payments from your VA benefits are anticipated. Certain Chapters will require advance payment of tuition and fees as indicated: Chapter 30 - Student payment by payment deadline is required. Chapter 31 - Veterans Services Office will notify Cashier that VApayment is anticipated. Chapter 33 - Veterans Services Office will notify Cashier that VA payment is anticipated Chapter 35 - Student payment by payment deadline is required. Chapter 1606 - Student payment by payment deadline is required. Chapter 1607 - Student payment by payment deadline is required. Hazlewood - Veterans Services Office will notify Cashier that tuition exemption is authorized. NOTE: VA education benefits and Hazelwood Exemption do not cover 3-Peat and late registration fees. The fees must be paid prior to the payment deadline or you will be removed from your classes for non-payment.

Veteran Student Advising

Advising, including a list of advisors, is discussed in detail in this Catalog. If you have selected a major, faculty advising is available for you. The Veterans Services Office, the Student Enrollment Center or the Registrar can direct you to the appropriate department for advising. If you have not selected a major or are a liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) major, Student Enrollment Center staff can advise you. Services are available in the Student Enrollment Center on the East and West Campuses.

GETTING STARTED

Veteran Student Residency

A person is entitled to pay tuition and fees at an institution of higher education at the rates provided for Texas residents without regard to the length of time the person has resided in this state. If the person files with the institution at which the person intends to register a letter of intent to establish residence in this state and resides in this state while enrolled in the institution and the person: 1. is eligible for benefits under the federal Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (38 U.S.C. Section 3301 et seq.) or any other federal law authorizing educational benefits for veterans; 2. is the spouse of a person described by subdivision (1); or 3. is a child of a person described by Subdivision (1) who is 25 years of age or younger on the first day of the semester or other academic term for which the person is registering, except that the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board by rule shall prescribe procedures by which a person who suffered from a severe illness or other debilitating condition that affected the person’s ability to use the benefit provided by this subsection before reaching corresponding to the time the person was unable to use the benefit because of the illness or condition. A form letter may be obtained from the Veterans Services Office for students who meet this eligibility requirement. Student Enrollment Center personnel and Veterans Services representatives can help clarify residency status.

Changes in Registration

Any time your course schedule changes you must immediately notify the Veterans Services. Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 21.4203 requires that all changes in enrollment credit must be reported in a timely manner. Reducing the number of semester hours attempted within a given semester may cause a decrease in VA benefit amount and could generate an overpayment from the VA. If overpayment occurs, you will become indebted to the VA and future benefit payments could be reduced by the amount of the overpayment.

Implications for Financial Aid

You should be aware that dropping courses may affect eligibility for financial aid. Contact Financial Aid Services prior to dropping a course or completely withdrawing from school. If you stop attending class without officially withdrawing from the College, then the grade is an automatic “F.” Students receiving Veterans Benefits for education or Vocational Rehabilitation should contact Veterans Services for specific policies concerning drops and withdrawals. These changes may have a direct effect on your VA benefits. Students using the Hazlewood Exemption must meet satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in accordance with the college Financial Aid policy in order to remain eligible for Hazlewood Exemption. This does not apply to students whose eligibility for the Hazlewood Exemption is based on a deceased veteran’s status. You do not have to be in receipt of Financial Aid, but must meet SAP requirements . For more information, please contact the Veterans Services Office.

Commencement

Graduation is held three times a year: May, August and December. Only if you have completed all of the graduation requirements will you be permitted to graduate. 33

GETTING STARTED

Veterans Honors Cord

Every veteran student who graduates will be issued a Red, White and Blue Honor cord to wear with their graduation regalia. Honor cords will be issued at the Congratulatory Reception each commencement cycle.

VA Workstudy

The Department of Veterans Affairs sponsors a workstudy program. Students receiving veteran’s educational benefits under Chapters 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 1606 and 1607 may qualify. Students must be certified to the VA for at least ¾ time enrollment and must perform duties that are directly related to veteran benefits and files in the Veterans Services Office. Several positions are filled on a continuous basis. For more information, contact the Director of the College Veterans Center.

Student Withdrawal or Excused Absence for Active Military Service

Upon notice from a student required to participate in active military service, students shall be excused from attending classes or engaging in other required activities, including examinations. A student shall not be penalized for an absence which is excused under this subsection and shall be allowed to complete an assignment or take an examination from which the student is excused within a reasonable time after the absence. • Maximum Excused Absence: A student called to service as a member of a reserve military component or the Texas National Guard will not be penalized and shall be excused for absences accrued during the period of active military service for a period of active duty no longer than 25% of the total number of class meetings or the contact hour equivalent (not including the final exam period) for the specific course or courses in which the student is currently enrolled at the beginning of the period of active military service. (Example: During a 16 week semester with 32 planned class meetings, no more than 4 weeks and 8 class meeting absences may be excused.) • Retention of Student’s Work: Faculty members will retain the student’s coursework completed during the portion of the course prior to the student being called to active military service to be used when the student returns and completes the course requirements in order to ascertain a proper grade award.

GETTING STARTED • Course Syllabus or Instructional Plan: The course syllabus or other instructional plan that was in effect when the student was called to active military service shall be retained for future use so that the student will be able to complete the course without prejudice and under the same course requirements that were in effect when the student enrolled in the course. • Completion of Assignments and Examinations: The student shall be granted a reasonable period of time after the absence to complete assignments and examinations. A reasonable period of time shall be defined as “within 30 calendar days of completion of active service period or one week prior to the final examination date scheduled, whichever occurs first.” • Failure to Complete Assignments and Examinations: If a student fails to complete missed assignments and examinations, the student will not receive credit for uncompleted assignments and examinations and will be awarded a course final grade accordingly.

Summary

No matter how you walk through our doors, you have started on your path to success.

FINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid

Assistance

While you and your family are expected to assume a major responsibility for the costs associated with attending a certificate or degree program at the College, there are resources to help you. While there are many free resources available to you, there are many opportunities for students seeking assistance to be taken advantage of. There are several websites and companies who offer help with filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for a fee. These sites and companies are not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) or Del Mar College. We urge students not to pay for these sites for assistance that you can get for free. Never send money (no matter how small) to companies for free financial aid information and if you are asked for any credit card information while filling out the FAFSA online, you are not at the official government site. The financial aid office at Del Mar College is here to assist you free of charge in finding ways to fund your education. When you apply for federal student aid, the information you report on the FAFSA is used in a formula established by the ED. The formula determines your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), an amount you and your family are expected to contribute toward your education. If your EFC is below a certain amount, you will be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, assuming you meet all other eligibility requirements. There is not a maximum EFC that determines eligibility for the other financial aid programs. Instead, your EFC is used in an equation to determine your financial need: Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) - Financial Need To determine your unmet need for aid other than Federal Pell Grant, the calculation is: Cost of Attendance - EFC - Pell Grant and any other Financial Aid - Unmet Need Financial Aid Services encourages you to seek financial assistance to help pay for college. Assistance comes in the form of gift aid (grants and scholarships-need based or merit-based) and self-help aid (loans and employment-need based or merit-based).

Eligibility Requirements

To be considered for aid eligibility, you must: â&#x20AC;˘ Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen â&#x20AC;˘ Be registered with Selective Service (male, U.S. citizens and permanent 36

FINANCIAL AID residents, ages 18-26) • Have demonstrated financial need as determined by your processed FAFSA and your school cost of attendance • Attend a school that takes part in one or more of the financial aid programs • Have a high school diploma, GED (or its recognized equivalent) or have been home schooled • Be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours) in an eligible program as approved by the ED (in some cases, students may receive a Federal Pell Grant for less than half-time enrollment) • Be working toward a degree or certificate • Be making satisfactory academic progress as defined by Del Mar College Policy. Refer to “Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy” section • Not owe a refund on any Title IV (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant or Federal State Student Incentive Grant) or any other Higher Education Grant program received at any institution previously attended. Refer to “Return of Title IV Funds” under CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWING/DROPPING section • Not be in default on any Title IV Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Student Loan, Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (FPLUS), Federal Supplemental Loan to Students (FSLS) or any other Higher Education Act Loan Program received at any institution previously attended

Application Process FAFSA: First Step

To qualify for financial assistance, including loans and some scholarships, you must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This can be done one of two ways: 1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web, or 2. Complete the FAFSA Renewal Application on the Web.

Electronic FAFSA

Applying on the Web allows you to complete the FAFSA over the Internet in an easy-to-use format. FAFSA on the Web/Renewal FAFSA on the Web can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. It is important to complete a Pre-Application Worksheet to guide you. You can print a copy of the Worksheet from Section I of the FAFSA on the Web home page at www.fafsa.ed.gov or pick up a copy from Financial Aid Services. The Renewal FAFSA is a tremendous time saver as responses from the prior cycles’ FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA are displayed, and you answer only those questions that are likely to have changed from the previous year. The online application procedure is also available in Spanish.

FSA ID

The FSA ID-a username and password-has replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN and must be used to log in to certain ED websites. Your FSA ID confirms your 37

FINANCIAL AID identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents. If you do not already have an FSA ID, you can create one when logging in to fafsa.gov, the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at www.nslds.ed.gov, StudentLoans.gov and StudentAid.gov.

Application Steps

Below are important steps that you need to follow to apply for financial aid. 1. Complete your FAFSA with your correct legal name as it appears on your Social Security Card. 2. Complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA using the actual figures from your 2015 Federal Income Tax Return, annual statements you receive from Social Security, TANF and/or Child Support, including any other documentation of other sources of income. Accuracy is very important when completing this step of the FAFSA, especially these items. Accuracy can be obtained by using the IRS data retrieval option in place of your Income Tax Return: a. Adjusted Gross income from the IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. b. Income tax paid from the IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. c. Income received from other sources, such as gift money from family, private sources, housing, food and other living allowances paid to members of the military, clergy and others (including cash payments and cash value of benefits). d. Household size should reflect only those family members who are being supported by the student or the student’s parents. (Do not include family members who do not fit the description found in the FAFSA instructions). e. Number of family members from the household who are in college (Do not include your parents). f. Cash and savings. g. Investment and other real estate net worth (Do not include the value of the house in which you or your family live). h. Dependent student’s income. 3. After completing the FAFSA online, submit the application electronically and either mail the signature page within 10-14 days or utilize the FSA ID which serves as an electronic signature. 4. About a week after filing your FAFSA electronically, you should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail. If you provided an email address, the SAR will be emailed to you. If you listed Del Mar College on your FAFSA (code 003563) you are not required to bring the SAR to Financial Aid Services. Although we will receive an Electronic Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) with your information, you must still contact Financial Aid Services for any other missing information. 5. The following documentation may be requested to complete your file: a. Del Mar College Resource Application available on the “eForm” section of the WebDMC portal. (Mandatory to open file after FAFSA has been received). b. 2015 IRS tax transcripts for parent and/or student (if IRS data retrieval option was not used). 38

FINANCIAL AID c. Verification Worksheet provided by Del Mar College located under “forms” on the Paying for College link (check your Missing Information page on WebDMC portal for appropriate worksheet, if applicable). d. Academic transcripts from all colleges attended. e. High School transcript with graduation date. f. GED certificate. Failure to complete any of these steps, or if any of the information is inaccurate or missing, may cause a delay in the processing of your file. In addition to these steps, you may request to schedule a personal interview with financial aid personnel.

Financial Aid Deadlines: Priority

Priority is given to you when you complete your financial aid file by the priority deadlines and show the greatest documented need. Priority deadlines are established to allow ample time for the processing of your file and timely delivery of funds to you. Applications for financial assistance are accepted after January 1 of each year for the following academic year. It is recommended that you apply at least two months before the priority deadline. Financial Aid Program Deadline Academic Year May 1 Spring Only October 1 Summer Sessions February 15 If the scheduled deadline falls on a holiday or weekend, you have until the next business day to turn in your paperwork. All applications received after the priority deadline are awarded according to the availability of funds on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Additional Information FAFSA Data Matches

The ED performs several matches of the information that you provide on the FAFSA/Renewal FAFSA form with national databases, including: • The Selective Service System • The Department of Homeland Security • The Social Security Administration • The Department of Justice • The National Student Loan Data System • The Department of Veterans Affairs If any of the information that is provided on the application is not consistent with the data that is on these databases, or if these agencies have any information that is relevant to your financial aid eligibility, the U.S. Department of Education will alert Del Mar College and the issues/questions will have to be resolved before your eligibility can be confirmed.

FINANCIAL AID

Verification Selection of Students for Verification

The ED selects Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for verification. In addition, ED or Del Mar College may select a student for verification if the information submitted appears to be incorrect or fraudulent. If you have been selected for a process called verification, Del Mar College will be comparing information from your FAFSA with your (and your spouse’s, if you are married) and/or your parents’ Income Tax Return Transcript, or with W-2 forms or other financial documents. Federal Regulations state we have the right to ask you for this information before awarding Federal aid.

Completing Verification

If you are selected for verification, submit the required documents as soon as possible to avoid delays in payment of tuition/fees and delays on receiving book allowance (if eligible) before the term starts. Students are mailed Missing Information Letters, (MIL’s) and Verification Notification emails that explain why their financial aid file is incomplete and what documents they need to submit or what actions need to be taken to complete their financial aid file. If you are selected for verification, submit the required documentation to Financial Aid Services 30 (thirty) days before you expect to have the verification resolved and your account cleared for disbursement. The DMC financial aid staff will work to review verifications sooner than 30 days after submission, but during peak times this may not always be possible. The DMC staff continues to accept and review verification information until the Department of Education’s published correction deadlines for each award year. If you do not submit documentation in time for any changes to be confirmed by the ED, Del Mar College is not responsible for any eligibility lost. It is your responsibility to provide documentation in a timely manner so that deadlines can be met.

Acceptable Documentation

Below is a list all acceptable documentation and forms used: • Verification Worksheets: Available online at www.delmar.edu/finaid_forms/forms/ • Federal Income Tax Return Transcript for all people whose income information is required by the ED. In cases where a conflict is perceived, Financial Aid Services may request additional proof of untaxed income and benefits beyond what is shown on tax returns and verification worksheets. This proof will vary by agency. For example: 1. Untaxed Income Sources 2. Unemployment Benefits-A statement from the agency which provided the benefits. 3. Signature requirements: • Verification Worksheets • Dependent Students-Must be signed by the student and one parent • Independent Students-Must be signed by the student

FINANCIAL AID

Notification of Completion of Verification

Financial Aid Services will rely on the U.S. Department of Education to mail students a copy of their corrected Student Aid Report for notification that the verification changes are complete. If you wish, you may check with Financial Aid Services and see how verification affected their Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The change will be reflected in the award amounts (if any) on the award letter. Award notifications are sent via email to students after all issues related to verification and any other eligibility issues are resolved.

Conflicting Information

If there are differences between your application information and your financial documents, Financial Aid Services will need to make corrections electronically. Since corrections may take some time to process, we encourage you to submit the appropriate documents in a timely manner. If the corrections change your EFC and if you submit the appropriate verification form and required documentation in person, we will let you know of any changes that may affect your eligibility amount at that moment. We will also mail you an award notification letter. While your correction is being processed, your file is considered incomplete and funds will not be awarded.

Eligibility Issues

Financial Aid Services monitors requirements that can affect your eligibility for Title IV funds, including but not limited to:

Attendance

The ED requires that schools are able to document that students are actually in attendance to finalize their Title IV financial aid. For example, if a student doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin attendance in all of his or her classes, the school must recalculate the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award based on the lower enrollment status. A student is considered to have begun attendance in all of his or her classes if the student attends at least one day of class for each course in which that studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment status was determined for Federal Pell Grant eligibility. In a distance education context, documenting that a student has logged into an online class is not sufficient, by itself, to demonstrate academic attendance by the student. A school must demonstrate that a student participated in class or was otherwise engaged in an academically related activity, such as by contributing to an online discussion or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question. Del Mar College documents attendance for Title IV recipients by collecting on-line rosters from all instructors after census date. The instructors use the rosters to indicate whether a student has attended or not. Students must attend each class that they are enrolled in at least once between the first day of school and the census day of each term to be counted as being in attendance in that class for Federal Pell Grant eligibility purposes. In cases where students do not attend class at least once, Federal Pell Grant eligibility will be adjusted based on the enrollment status for the number of credits that they are actually attending, and other Title IV may be cancelled. If this adjustment results in a student not having sufficient grant funds to pay for any charges or advances that they have incurred or received, that student will be responsible to pay Del Mar College for the difference between their adjusted eligibility and the original amount of the cost of their tuition and fees as well as any advances that the student received. 41

FINANCIAL AID

Repeated Coursework

Beginning July 1, 2011, the ED amended the definition of a full-time student to allow repeated coursework to count toward enrollment status in term-based programs: • Students may only receive federal financial aid funding for one repetition of a previously passed course. That is, if a student passes a course with a low grade and wants to get a better grade to improve his GPA, he can retake the course once. If, after the student retakes the course, he wants to retake it again and his course load at the time is 12 credit hours, the student will not be considered to be attending full time; he will be considered to be attending 3/4 time and financial aid will be disbursed as such. This is for financial aid purposes only. • Student may repeat failed course until it is passed.

Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used (PLEU)

The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds a student may receive over his or her lifetime is limited by federal regulations to the equivalent of six full-time years (12 full-time semesters). Students who received Pell Grant for the past four years or more may find their Pell Grant eligibility may be reduced or eliminated. To determine how much of the maximum six years (600%) of Pell Grant you have used each year, ED compares the actual amount you received for the award year with your scheduled award amount for that award year. Of course, if you receive the full amount of your scheduled award, you will have used 100%. It’s possible that you might not receive your entire scheduled award for an award year. There are a number of reasons for this, the most common of which are that you are not enrolled for the full year or that you are not enrolled full-time, or both.

Percentage Used Calculation

The percentages are based on your annual award at full-time enrollment status compared to the amount you actually receive in a given year. The amount of aid you receive each academic year is divided by the maximum annual award you are eligible for that year and your annual percentage is determined. Percentages from each year are added to calculate your Lifetime Eligibility Used (PLEU).

Viewing Your Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used (PLEU)

The ED keeps track of your PLEU by adding together the percentages of your Pell Grant scheduled awards that you received for each award year. You can determine how much Pell you have used and what you have remaining at www.NSLDS.ed.gov.

Questions

Financial Aid Services staff are available to discuss Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used and answer any questions you may have.

Developmental Coursework Limitation

The ED provided the following guidelines to schools on how developmental courses may be funded. (Please note that the information in this catalog only pertains to the developmental coursework limitation and a student must satisfy all ED, State of Texas and Del Mar College eligibility requirements to be eligible for Financial Assistance). A student may receive Federal Aid for up to one academic 42

FINANCIAL AID year’s worth of developmental coursework. At community colleges, the limit is 30 semester hours. Financial Aid Services complies with this requirement by reviewing all student records after the Census day of each semester to see if any students are scheduled to receive financial aid for a developmental course when they have already attempted 10 or more courses. Any Pell Grant award made to a student who is scheduled to receive aid for the 11th or greater developmental course attempt will be recalculated without considering the developmental course in the student’s enrollment status. Example: If a student is enrolled in a total of 12 credit hours, three of which are from his/ her 11th developmental course attempt, his/her Federal Pell Grant award will be recalculated based on nine credit hours instead of 12 credit hours.

Unusual Enrollment History

Beginning award year 2013-2014 and forward, the ED has established new regulations to prevent fraud and abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program by identifying students with unusual enrollment histories. The ED will be placing an unusual enrollment flag on some of the Free Applications for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which indicates that the student has an unusual enrollment history with regard to receiving Pell Grants at multiple institutions. Financial Aid Services is required to review the student’s enrollment and financial aid record to determine if, during the past four award years (2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016), the student has legitimate reasons for the unusual enrollment history. Financial Aid Services will identify and contact the students who will be required to resolve this before determining Federal Student Aid eligibility.

Resolving Unusual Enrollment History

You will be required to provide academic transcripts from all colleges and universities attended during the review period to Del Mar College. The institution will determine whether academic credit was earned at each of the previously attended institutions during the past four award years (2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016). Academic credit earned is considered to have been earned if the academic records show that you received a grade of “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D” as listed in the Grading System Section of the DMC Catalog. If you did not earn academic credit at each of the previously attended institutions during the past three award years, you may be ineligible for further Federal Student Aid. The Financial Aid Services has the authority to require official transcripts from the Colleges and universities attended during the review period if the documents that you submitted are unclear.

Appealing an Ineligibility Determination

You will be asked to contact Financial Aid Services so that you may provide a statement explaining why you failed to earn academic credit and any additional supporting documentation. If eligibility is approved, you will be required to meet with an academic advisor and a financial aid representative; you must not drop or withdraw (officially or unofficially) from any courses after the term begins and must maintain Financial Aid SAP. If you did not earn academic credit at each of the previously attended institutions during the past three award years and are not able to provide an acceptable explanation and documentation for the unusual enrollment history, you are ineligible for further Federal Student Aid. All decisions made by Financial Aid Services are final. 43

Procedures for Referring Individuals to the Office of Inspector General

If we suspect that a student, employee, or other individual has misreported information or altered documentation to fraudulently obtain federal funds, we will report that individual to the Office of Inspector General at (214) 661-9530. This includes false claims of independent student status, false claims of citizenship, use of false identities, forgery of signatures of certifications and false statements of income. Fraud is the intent to deceive as opposed to a mistake.

Types of Aid

The source and amount of any aid will depend greatly on your demonstrated need as determined by the ED and Del Mar College Financial Aid Services. Aid comes in two major forms: gift aid and self-help aid.

I. Gift Aid

There are two kinds of gift aid—grants and scholarships: A. Grants Del Mar College participates in numerous federal, state and local grant programs. Federal Pell Grant (PELL) Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. (A professional degree would include a degree in a field such as pharmacy or dentistry). Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant is partially determined by the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled during the semester. Del Mar College’s award letters show student eligibility for Federal Pell Grant funds for eligible students assuming that the students will take at least 12 credit hours per semester. Financial Aid Services adjusts the amount of Pell Grant that students receive if the number of credit hours that students are enrolled in changes through the census date of each semester. For more information on eligibility requirements, please refer to the sections that follow.

Award Amounts

Awards are based on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the FAFSA and by your level of enrollment. How much you may receive will depend on your EFC, your cost of attendance, your enrollment status and whether you attend school for a full academic year. You may only receive Pell Grant funds from one institution at a time.

Levels of Enrollment Full Time Three Quarter Time Half Time Less Than Half Time*

Equivalent credit hours 12+ credit hours 9-11 credit hours 6-8 credit hours 5 credit hours or less

*Students enrolled less than full-time may still receive a Pell Grant award if their EFC allows it.

FINANCIAL AID

Eligibility

To determine if you are eligible, the ED established a standard formula, to evaluate the information you report when you apply. The formula produces an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number. The lower the EFC number, the more aid you are eligible for. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) and the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) contain this number and will tell you if you are eligible. Below are the basic eligibility requirements to be considered for Federal Aid (Title IV programs): 1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 2. Meet all ED eligibility requirements including but not limited to: a. Demonstrate financial need b. Have a High School Diploma or a General Education Development (GED) Certificate c. Register with the Selective Services, if required d. Be a U.S. citizen or Eligible Non-citizen e. Have a valid Social Security Number 3. Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program 4. Meet the standards of the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.

Additional Requirements

Financial Aid Services monitors requirements that can affect your eligibility for Federal Pell Grant funds, including but not limited to: 1. Your continued enrollment within a semester: if you withdraw/are withdrawn, you may be required to repay funds awarded to you. 2. Your grades: if you do not earn at least one passing grade in a semester, you may be required to repay funds awarded to you. 3. Developmental courses you attempt: we may only fund 30 credit hours of developmental work (10 developmental courses) over your educational career. If a Pell eligible student attempts his/her 11th or greater developmental course, that course cannot be counted in the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment status. 4. Repeated Coursework: Beginning July 1, 2011, the definition of a fulltime student was amended to allow repeated coursework to count toward enrollment status in term-based programs. 5. Lifetime Eligibility Used: Effective July 1, 2012, students may only receive a Pell Grant for six years of full-time enrollment (equivalent to 12 semesters or 600%) during their lifetime. This change affects all students regardless of when or where they received their first Pell Grant. The maximum amount of Pell Grant funding that a student may receive each year is equal to 100%, this is why the six-year equivalent is 600%. 6. Unusual Enrollment History: Beginning award year 2013-2014 and forward, new regulations have been established to prevent fraud and abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program by identifying students with unusual enrollment histories. Financial Aid Services is required to review your enrollment and financial aid record to determine if, during the past three award years, you had legitimate reasons for the unusual enrollment history. 45

FINANCIAL AID 7. Attendance Verification: eligibility to receive Title IV aid is partially determined by the number of classes that you attend; you cannot receive aid for classes in which you are registered but do not attend at least once.

Financial Aid Services must confirm, through an enrollment verification process that all students have attended all of the courses that they have enrolled in. The enrollment verification takes place after census date of each semester and may take up to three weeks. Can I receive a Federal Pell Grant if I am enrolled less than half-time? Yes, if your EFC is low enough to be eligible. You will not receive as much as if you were enrolled full time, but DMC will disburse your Pell Grant funds in accordance with your enrollment status.

II. Self-Help

There are two forms of self-help—loans and employment: A. Loans Loans are available to assist you in meeting your educational costs. All of the loans available are long-term, low-interest loans. No loan may be made if you are unwilling to repay the loan. A prior default or delinquency on a loan or an established history of nonpayment of debts may be taken as evidence of unwillingness to repay the loan. If efforts manage and lower our overall default rate, students who fall into the following categories must submit a Loan Appeal Packet to be considered for student loans: • Students who have already borrowed more than the DMC recommended loan limit of $17,500 (regardless of what college the loan was borrowed at) • Students who have defaulted student loans previously • Students requesting an unsubsidized loan in excess of $1,000 per semester There are three kinds of loans:

1. Student Loans

The following student loan programs are available: • Direct Loan Subsidized (DLSUB) • Direct Loan Unsubsidized (DUNSB) * The Federal Direct Loan Program consists of both the Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized student loans; however, the U.S. Department of Education is your lending institution and will be responsible for all your correspondence and repayments.

Applying for Federal Loans

To apply for a federal student aid direct loan, you must: 1. Be fully admitted to DMC.

2. Have your FAFSA application submitted and processed.

3. Submit the DMC 2016-2017 Resource Application (eForm) indicating “Yes” to wanting to borrow a loan.

4. Complete the Loan Entrance Counseling online at www.studentloans.gov (explains the obligations you agree to meet as a condition of receiving

FINANCIAL AID a direct loan). You must complete this step within two weeks of being offered a student loan.

5. Complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) at www.studentloans. gov. You must complete this step within two weeks of being offered a student loan.

6. Attend a mandatory Loan Advising Workshop on campus. You may attend any time before being offered loan but you must attend within two weeks after being offered a loan. 7. Be enrolled in at least six hours and maintain satisfactory academic progress.

After steps 1-7 are met, the first disbursement will be issued by DMC approximately two weeks after the start of the first six credit hours of the semester. First-time borrowers are required to wait 30 days for their first disbursement. One-semester loans are disbursed in two payments. Federal Stafford Annual Loan amounts for a single academic year, effective July 1, 2008, are: Year

First-Year Undergraduate 0 – 29 hours Second-Year Undergraduate 30+ hours

Dependent Students

Independent Students

$3,500 in Subsidized Loans

$4,500 in Subsidized Loans

$2,000 in Unsubsidized Loans

$3,500 in Subsidized Loans

$4,500 in Subsidized Loans

$6,000 in Unsubsidized Loans

Loan amounts may be adjusted down based on an individual’s Cost of Attendance (COA). All direct loans are funded by the Federal Government and pay a 1.68% loan origination fee from each disbursement. This fee is subject to change every July 1. The interest rate charged on Direct Loans is 4.29% which also is subject to change every July 1.

National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) central database for student aid. NSLDS Student Access provides a centralized, integrated view of Title IV loans and grants, so recipients of Title IV Aid can access and inquire about their Title IV loans and/or grant data. The system can help you learn about your loan status, 53

FINANCIAL AID assist with repayment methods to keep your loan out of default and keep you aware of where your loan debt is currently.

Federal Loan Servicers

Students go in to loan repayment six months after they stop attending at least half-time. Once you go in to repayment, you will be contacted by a federal loan servicer to make payment arrangements.

2. Parent Loans

The following is the main parent loan: • Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (FPLUS) Your parents may borrow funds under this loan program on behalf of you, if you are a dependent undergraduate student. Parents can borrow up to the cost of education minus other financial aid you may have received. Parents must have a good credit history to qualify and not currently be in default of their own federal student loans. A processed FAFSA must be on file and parents must apply for the FPLUS loan online at www.studentloans.gov. If approved, parent must complete a FPLUS loan form available in the financial aid office. For detailed information on how to apply for a FPLUS Loan, go to www.delmar. edu/federal_parent_loans_for_undergraduate_students.aspx

3. Alternative Loans

Alternative loans are private loans offered by lending institutions. They are not part of the federal government guaranteed loans and should only be used when all other options have been exhausted. Research all possibilities for scholarships, grants, work-study and federal loans before borrowing from an alternative loan program. Students are required to complete a FAFSA application each academic year and must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress to be considered. Students can never receive more loan money than their cost of attendance and overall unmet need. What should you look for in an Alternative Loan? • Annual Percentage Rate (APR) • Loan Limits • Repayment Terms • Cosigner Requirement • Repayment Incentives • Interest Capitalization • Lender for Federal Loans B. Student Employment Programs You may opt to work part-time, usually on campus, to help pay for college. There are student employment programs as follows: 1. Federal Work-Study (FWSP) and Texas Work-Study Programs (TXWS) The Federal Work-Study Program and the Texas Work-Study Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing 54

FINANCIAL AID them to earn money to help pay education expenses. These programs encourage community service work and work related to your course of study. Work Study is part of a students’ financial aid award package and the student must obtain a position to earn the funds for which he/she is eligible for. The work-study student may or may not earn all the funds that he/she was eligible to receive. Once funds have been exhausted employment will end.

FINANCIAL AID

Protect your Financial Aid – Don’t lose it!

Federal regulations require educational institutions to review the academic progress of all students applying for student financial assistance. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) must be maintained in order to receive aid. A student’s academic process is evaluated after each long semester and summer term with the following standards as mandated by the federal regulations: • Qualitative (Grades and Cumulative Grade Point Average) • Quantitative (Maximum Time Frame for completion) This review will include all periods of the student’s enrollment, even those for which the student did not receive financial aid. Students are expected to be continuously aware of their grades.

DMC Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy

Del Mar College has adopted the following Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (be advised these standards apply to all financial aid programs unless the terms of a particular program indicate otherwise): Federal/State Regulations require students to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress at the time they receive financial assistance. All financial aid recipients must be enrolled in a program of study leading to an Associate’s degree or a certificate program. All course work attempted at Del Mar College will be evaluated, regardless of whether the student previously received assistance. All transfer course work, accepted for credit towards your program at Del Mar College, will be counted towards the maximum time frame. A student’s academic progress is evaluated after each long semester and at the end of the summer session. The evaluation includes all coursework attempted for the semester/sessions (withdrawals, incompletes and “R” grades will be included in determining the total number of hours for which the student enrolled). It also includes all periods of the student’s enrollment, even those for which the student did not receive financial aid. (Rapid Track semesters, mini-semesters and Maymesters will be included in the semester in which they began.) The Progress Standards required are shown below: • Must successfully pass the number of hours/credits stated below: - Students enrolled for a full-time course load, 12 hours or more, will be required to pass a minimum of nine (9) semesters hours of the courses enrolled or - Students enrolled for three-quarter time, 9 to 11 hours, will be required to pass a minimum of six (6) semesters hours of the courses enrolled or - Students enrolled for half-time, 6 to 8 hours, will be required to pass six (6) hours of the courses enrolled or - Students who enroll for less than six (6) hours must complete all hours attempted and • Must have a 2.0 or better GPA on the minimum numbers of hours required to pass. • Must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA at the end of the fourth semester, including Summer Terms. • Must complete a certificate/degree program within the maximum time frame of 150% of the published length of the educational program 56

FINANCIAL AID your current major. For example, if a student is pursuing a program (certificate/associate degree) requiring 64 credit hours, no financial consideration would be available after completing 96 credit hours, even if the student has not yet earned the certificate/associate degree and meets all other satisfactory academic progress standards. (64 X 150%=96)

Successful passing means a student has received a minimum grade of D. Grades of F, I (Incomplete), W (withdrew) are not considered passing courses.

Good Standing

• Students who meet the above requirements are considered to be in good standing for financial aid purposes.

Failure To Meet Standards

Financial Aid Warning • Financial aid warning is a caution that the student is jeopardizing future eligibility but can still receive financial aid. • The first time the minimum standard is not met, the student will be placed on a financial aid warning. • Students who reach the maximum time frame limitation will not receive a warning notification. • Students who do not have a minimum overall 2.0 GPA at the end of the 4th semester will not receive a warning notification. Financial Aid Suspension • Financial aid suspension is a cancellation/denial of awards or disbursements of financial aid. • The second time the minimum standard is not achieved; the student will be placed on financial aid suspension. • Students placed on academic suspension by the Registrar’s Office will automatically be placed on financial aid suspension. This financial aid status will continue should the student be granted permission to enroll after an academic suspension appeal. Students under this status must meet the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards in order to get back on financial aid. • Students placed on enforced scholastic suspension the last time they were enrolled will be on financial aid suspension. • Any student exceeding the maximum time frame of 150% of the program will be placed on financial aid suspension. • A cumulative 2.0 GPA must still be maintained for students who have attended four semesters, including Summer Terms. Notification of Status Students placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Suspension will be notified via email of their status after grades are available on DMC’s system. Regaining Eligibility A student may regain eligibility for financial aid by: • Paying for expenses related to enrollment from personal resources until the student has satisfied the minimum standards of the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy. • Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled for six 57

FINANCIAL AID (6) or more hours must enroll for six (6) or more hours and meet the minimum requirements as stated above. • Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled less than six (6) hours may enroll for less than six (6) hours and complete all hours with a 2.0 or better to remove the financial aid suspension status; however, their status will only improve to financial aid warning. • Students who had extenuating circumstances for not maintaining SAP, may appeal the suspension status by filing a written appeal with Financial Aid Services within two (2) weeks from the date the email is sent to the student notifying them of the status. The time frame for filing an appeal will be strictly enforced. • The student automatically waives their right to appeal if they fail to submit documentation within two (2) weeks. However, if the student has extenuating circumstances for failing to submit an appeal within the two (2) weeks, the student must be given permission by Financial Aid Services to submit an appeal.

Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Process

Federal regulations provide for hardship waivers based on the death of a relative, personal injury, illness (self and family) or other extenuating circumstances that prevent the student from making progress. Students must complete a Financial Aid Services Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal packet and a narrative as to the circumstance(s) that prevented SAP and attach supporting documentation such as: • Death Certificate • Letter from a doctor on official letterhead • Police records or court documents • Other verifiable documents that support the student’s claim. In addition, students must also provide a statement indicating what provisions have been made to ensure the circumstance(s), if any, will not reoccur or interfere with future academic progress. A signed copy of an up-to-date degree plan along with a degree plan summary sheet must also be submitted to Financial Aid Services.

Maximum Time Frame Appeal

A student appealing due to having exceeded the maximum time frame must complete the Maximum Time Frame Appeal form along with a narrative explaining the reasons why the time frame was exceeded. A signed copy of an up-to-date degree plan along with a degree plan summary sheet must also be submitted to Financial Aid Services. If approved, students will only be allowed to register for and complete courses on the degree plan submitted. Any courses taken outside the approved degree will cancel the approved appeal.

Additional Appeal Information

Students who graduate and return to DMC for a Second degree and HAVE NEVER had to submit a Maximum Timeframe Appeal If a student graduates from DMC and re-enrolls at DMC to pursue another educational program, all developmental courses and academic courses where the student earned grades of “F”, “R”, “W” or “I” will be excluded from the Maximum Time Frame calculation. Students may request a review by providing a degree plan furnished by their program advisor and submitting it to Financial Aid Services Office for review. The degree plan will be reviewed by Financial 58

FINANCIAL AID Aid Services to determine exactly which credit hours from the graduated program apply to the student’s new program of study. Classes from the program the student graduated from, which do not count toward graduation for the new program, will be eliminated from the total. The review for a new degree after graduation is limited to two degree program graduations. Financial Aid Services will notify the student of the findings and recommendations. Students whose appeal has been granted will be placed on financial aid probation and all courses attempted must be passed with a 2.0 or better. During the Appeals Process, the student must be prepared to pay for expenses such as tuition, fees, books and supplies and/or other educational related expenses from personal resources. Additional Information: • There is a limit of 30 semester hours of developmental course work that may be eligible for financial aid. Any developmental hours beyond this 30 hour limit will not be eligible for financial aid consideration. All developmental course work will be counted toward the maximum time frame. • All repeated course work will count toward the maximum time frame. **SEE Retaking Coursework • Transfer work: All transfer work, accepted for credit toward their program at Del Mar College, will be counted towards the maximum time frame. Students will be required to have an appropriate advisor evaluate the transfer hours and certify on the DMC Transfer Credit Evaluation Form (TRCR), the number of transfer hours applicable towards their current educational objective. A signed degree plan must also be submitted along with the TRCR. Financial Aid Services will adjust the total attempted semester hours accordingly. All decisions made by the Financial Aid Services are final. • TEXAS Grant and TEOG awards cannot be appealed.

Retaking Coursework

Changes to Financial Aid regulations will prohibit, in some cases, payment of previously repeated courses. These changes were effective with the Summer 2012 term. Rules will permit payment for retaking a course under the following conditions: • If a student earns/receives a non-passing grade (I, R, W, F) in a course, the student may retake the course and can be included for payment. • If the student passes the course (D is considered passing), the student may retake the course one more time to improve the grade and can be included for payment • Any second or subsequent repetition of a passed course may not be counted for payment • Retaking courses will be counted in evaluating the student’s record for Satisfactory Academic Progress and maximum time frame eligibility (www.delmar.edu/protect_your_financial_aid.aspx)

Consequences Of Withdrawing/Dropping

It is important that you consider very carefully the consequences of withdrawing/ dropping or not attending all of your classes at Del Mar College; this can adversely impact your financial aid.

FINANCIAL AID

Return of Title IV Funds

Return of Title IV Funds applies to you if you have been awarded assistance from a federally funded loan or grant and have completely withdrawn (officially or unofficially) from Del Mar College or if you earn all non-passing grades and your instructor reports your last day of attendance before the official end of the semester the Department of Education considers you to have officially withdrawn. A Return of Title IV funds calculation is then performed.

Calculation of Return

Federal aid is earned on a daily prorated basis up to and including the 60% point in the semester. After the 60% point, all aid is considered earned and no refunds/repayments are required. Your Return of Title IV Funds will be calculated accordingly: • The percent earned is calculated by dividing the number of calendar days completed by the number of calendar days in the semester. • The earned percentage received in federal assistance is the amount you are permitted to keep. The unearned percentage (remaining amount) must be returned to the federal government by both the College and you. This may cause you to owe both the College and the federal government. • The percent Del Mar College must return, on your behalf, will be returned to the appropriate federal fund program. The Del Mar College Business Office will bill you for the amount owed to the College. Outstanding balances at the end of the term will be referred to a collection agency by the Del Mar College Business Office. • The funds will be refunded to the Federal Funds Program in the following order, if applicable: 1. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan 2. Subsidized Federal Direct Student Loan 3. Pell Grant Program 4. Federal SEOG • You must repay the amount owed to the appropriate federal program within 45 days. After the 45th day, if payment is not received, your overpayment will be referred to the ED for collections and to the National Student Loan Database. • You must then make repayment arrangements with the ED in order to maintain future eligibility for federal funds.

Financial Aid Services is ready to assist you with exploring options to financing your higher education costs.

Instructional Support

There are four specific types of instructional support.

1. Student Success (STSC 0101) Course

The Student Success Course (STSC 0101) helps you make a successful transition to college. The course covers topics vital to college success: getting organized, time management, goal setting, test taking, note taking and personal communication. In addition, you are introduced to the wide variety of resources on campus.

2. Developmental Courses

You might need to enroll in developmental courses to build a strong academic foundation prior to enrolling in college-level courses. It takes determination on your part to postpone career plans while doing developmental work in English, mathematics or reading. However, these academic enrichment courses will establish the needed preparations prior to enrolling in college-level work. You should know that you pay tuition for these courses, the grades earned are reflected on your permanent transcript and, in most instances, these courses do not count toward a degree. However, through these classes, you develop good study habits, improve reading comprehension, increase ability to analyze and develop reasoning skills. This is what building an academic foundation is really all about. Your developmental course needs might be met by non-semester length developmental education interventions, Non-Course Based Option (NCBO) rather than semester length developmental education coursework. Check with the Chairperson of the appropriate department to see if you are qualified to take an NCBO.

3. Supplemental Instruction

If you are enrolled in a historically difficult academic course, Supplemental Instruction (SI) provides regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated study sessions led by trained SI Leaders. If you regularly attend SI sessions, you will learn study strategies and refine learning skills which can help you earn higher course grades, stay enrolled and graduate.

If you are not part of a recognized club and wish to conduct an activity on campus which contributes to the educational and cultural environment of the College, you must obtain permission from the Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life. Approved requests will be scheduled at a time and location which will not interrupt other activities on campus.

2. Cultural Programs Several informative and entertaining events—from concerts to theatrical productions to lectures—are scheduled each semester free of charge as long as you have a valid Del Mar College ID. The programs are paid for by your student services fee and are selected by the Cultural Programs Series Committee. 3. Intramural and Recreational Sports Del Mar College’s intramural and recreational sports program is designed to provide opportunities for athletic competition and physically active recreation for all currently enrolled academic students as well as employees of the College. 69

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND RECOGNITION It is the goal of the intramural and recreational sports program to be as broad as possible, offering you opportunities to participate in a variety of activities. The intramural and recreational sports program is funded by your student services fee. Activities You may participate in organized intramural activities including tournaments, leagues and special events. These may include team and individual sports for men, women and co-recreational competition.

Publicity

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to get the word out about an activityâ&#x20AC;Ś

College Relations Office

If you are planning an event open to the public, you should contact the College Relations Office at least two weeks in advance. The College Relations Office coordinates all publicity and publications for College events that are open to the public. The staff will be happy to assist you with any news releases, public service announcements, publications distributed off-campus or contacts with the news media.

The Foghorn

A good way to keep up with events on campus is the College newspaper, The Foghorn. It is published bi-weekly (except holidays, summer and exams) and is distributed free on campus. It is produced by students enrolled in journalism classes, but non-journalism students are welcome on the staff. The Foghorn is partially funded by your student services fee.

Printed Materials

Printed materials (displays, posters, petitions, handouts, surveys, etc.) which originate outside the College Relations Office must be presented to the Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life for approval before being distributed or posted.

Other

Here are some details about life on campus that you should know.

Student Identification Cards

Student identification cards (IDs) are issued free of charge to you when you first register; however, a charge will be made for replacements (We know, you hate the picture). Also, IDs must be validated each subsequent registration period. Cards are good for admission to College functions, for obtaining library materials and for using recreational facilities. You should carry it with you at all times and present it upon request. 70

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND RECOGNITION You can get your ID card at the White Library (East Campus) or the Barth Learning Resources Center (West Campus) by showing proof of registration. Identification cards are made during all library hours except the first and last 30 minutes of operation.

Parking Permits

To park your car on campus, you need a Vehicle Identification Permit (VIP). To get a VIP, fill out a parking registration card and submit it to Campus Security. They, in turn, will issue you a VIP. See the section on Parking Regulations.

Lost and Found

If you have lost or found an item, check with the Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life, located in the Harvin and Coleman Student Centers. If books or other items are turned in and they have your name and phone number, an Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life staff member will attempt to contact you.

Recognition

Now that you’ve succeeded both in and out of the classroom, it’s time to be recognized for all of your hard work.

Hall of Fame

Each spring, faculty, administrators and students nominate sophomore students for consideration to the highest honor that can be bestowed on a Del Mar College student: the Hall of Fame.

College Costs

COSTS

We care about the cost of your education. Del Mar College is one of the most affordable colleges in the state. Tuition Residency/Tuition Estimates

There are three ways to define your residency. 1. College District If you live in the Del Mar College tax district, you are considered in-district without exception. 2. Texas Resident In determining residency, the College will use the same guidelines as the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. In order for the State of Texas resident’s tuition rate to apply, you must supply the documentation required. See “Proof of Texas Residency” under “ADMISSIONS” for a list. 3. Out-of-State If you have not proven your Texas residency at the time of preregistration and/or registration, you will be considered an out-of-state student and billed accordingly.

Tuition by Type of Course

There are basically two different types of courses—credit and noncredit—at the College. Tuition differs for each type. There’s actually a third—General Education Development (GED) preparation—which is absolutely free! 1. College Credit Courses There are two ways of looking at tuition for credit classes—the total cost or the per hour cost. A.

The tuition estimates provide for 12 semester hours or four regular 3 credit-hour courses. Estimated tuition for additional courses or specialized classes that require special instruction, labs or uniforms may increase tuition costs. 2. Noncredit Courses Tuition for typical noncredit courses ranges from $2 to $6 per hour of instruction.

General Education Development (GED)

If you don’t have a high school diploma and wish to earn a GED, test preparation classes are offered free of charge.

Tuition Policy

The Texas resident in-district and out-of-district per-semester credit hour tuition rate shall be the same as determined by the Board of Regents. The tuition for out-of-state residents and foreign students shall be at rates mandated by state statutes. Texas State legislative action may affect the tuition and fee structure of the College. Tuition and fee charges must be paid at the time of registration, which is not complete until all payments have been made.

Fees

There are a number of fees associated with classes, but keep in mind what you’re getting in return–safe campuses, top-notch facilities, state-of-the-art labs and tools, student clubs, cultural events, intramural sports and more. There are two types of fees—basic and special. 1. Basic Fees Basic fees are charged to everyone. • General Use $12 per semester hour is charged each registration for college-credit courses. This fee is charged to cover the cost of transcripts, graduation, grounds improvements, technology centers, campus security and parking control. • Building Use $12 per semester hour will be charged each semester to assist in maintaining, improving and equipping campus facilities. A $25 general use fee will be charged with all noncredit courses. • Instructional Support $70 per semester will be charged for the support and maintenance of writing, math, reading and other learning labs.

Tuition and fees shown are correct as of the date of printing but are subject to change by the Board of Regents. A schedule of currently approved fees is available in the Student Enrollment Center on both East and West campuses.

Other Costs

Besides tuition and fees, there might be a few other costs associated with your education.

Occupational and Health Sciences Education

If you are in an occupational or health science field, you must furnish your own books and hand tools. Such items may be obtained from sources of your choice. A list of required books and tools will be furnished at the time of registration.

Insurance

You should be aware that you are responsible for your own private health and accident insurance. Liability or malpractice insurance is required in certain programs. See “Student Liability.”

Student Liability

Activities during occupational programs and courses may expose you to more than the usual degree of responsibility and liability. Health sciences, cosmetology, criminal justice, law enforcement, fire science, emergency medical services and occupational safety and health students may be required to carry professional liability insurance. For example, $5 per semester will be charged in all health sciences courses, and $21 per semester will be charged in all Emergency Medical Services and Fire Science programs to provide general liability coverage for students.

Payment

Tuition and fees must be paid or payment arrangements made by the appropriate due date for the registration process to be considered complete. Course credit and

COSTS grades may be withheld until all obligations to the College are met. Auditors in all courses must pay the same tuition and fees as those who are enrolled for credit. You will not be sent a bill by mail. You may view total tuition and fees on WebDMC. Payment may be made by mail, on the Web, or in person at the Business Office in the Harvin Student Center (HC) on the East Campus or in the Coleman Center (CC) on the West Campus. Payment may also be made with a credit card by phone (see “Telephone Directory” in this Catalog). If you do not pay, or make satisfactory arrangements to pay, all financial obligations to the College, you may have your registration voided and/or you may be removed from all classes; also course credit, grades, degree or certificate may be withheld. Also, you may be charged for loss of, or damage to, College property for which you are responsible, including library books.

Refunds

If for some reason you have to interrupt your education, you might get some of your costs refunded. In order to be eligible for a refund, you must complete the withdrawal requirements of the College. First, you must complete, sign and file a College Withdrawal form in the Registrar’s Office, and a refund application with the Business Office. Applications for refunds will not be accepted after the end of the semester in which withdrawals are made, and refunds will be processed as soon as possible after the census date for the semester.

Withdrawing

If you withdraw or are withdrawn from Del Mar College, you may be eligible for a refund of a portion of the tuition and fees paid to Del Mar College for that semester. If you received financial assistance to cover tuition and fee costs from outside the family, then a portion of the refund will be returned to the grant, scholarship or loan source from which the assistance was received. Please note that you must visit the Registrar’s Office and complete the Notice of Withdrawal. This step will allow Del Mar College to refund the maximum possible amount of tuition and fees.

Refund Formulas

The College refund and repayment policy is applicable if you attend traditional 16-week semesters. There are two refund formulas used at Del Mar College. 1. First Formula The first formula applies if you haven’t received financial aid. Fall and Spring Prior to first class day 100% During the first 15 class days 70% During the 16th - 20th class days 25% After 20th class day 0% Summer Prior to first class day 100% During the first five class days 70% During the sixth and seventh class days 25% After the seventh class day 0% 77

COSTS 2. Second Formula The second formula applies if you have received financial aid and the refund is as mandated by the Higher Education Act Reauthorization of 1998. The formula provides a Return of Title IV aid if you received Federal Financial Aid in the form of a Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) or Direct Student Loan. The amendment states that if you withdraw before completing at least 60% of the semester or earn all non-passing grades, you may have to pay back a portion of your federal funds. The percentage of the refund is equal to the number of days attended divided by the number of days in the semester. The first class day is defined as the “day classes start at Del Mar College and not as the first day a student attends classes.” The first class day is based on the Texas College and University System Common Calendar as determined by the state. Refer to the current semester credit class schedule for applicable first class date. A 100 percent refund is made for courses dropped prior to the first class day. If any portion of the refund amount is left after satisfying the federal Return of Title IV Aid, the remaining balance will be applied to Del Mar College funds, state programs and any other sources of financial assistance. Worksheets used to calculate the Return of Title IV funds are available at Financial Aid Services. For a detailed discussion, see “Financial Aid Services” section of the Catalog.

Distribution of Funds

No cash refunds will be made; all refunds will be issued via the DMC Debit Card. With the DMC Debit Card, refunds will be delivered in the manner the student selects at www.DMCDebitCard.com. Payments made by credit cards will be credited to the respective card account.

Rebate Opportunity

If you began a baccalaureate degree from a Texas general academic teaching institution in the Fall 1997 semester or later, you are eligible for a tuition rebate of $1,000. In general, this rebate opportunity is based on your attempting no more than three semester hours in excess of the minimum required to complete the baccalaureate degree. Complete information concerning this rebate is available from the College Business Office.

Summary

It costs to go to College, but it costs more not to. Think about it.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

Academic Policies Registrar’s Office

The Registrar’s Office assists you with all matters pertaining to your student records at Del Mar College, most importantly the careful tracking of your grades. The Registrar’s Office maintains your official Del Mar College transcript and is charged with complete confidentiality abiding by all Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations. Additionally, they can provide you with free copies of your DMC transcript, assistance in dropping courses, changes in residency and applying for graduation. The Registrar’s Office can also assist you in evaluating your transfer coursework from another institution for the purpose of advising and registering at Del Mar College. (See Credits Earned in the “Getting Started Section -- Transfer Student” for more information on completing a Transfer Evaluation Request Form (TERF). DEL MAR COLLEGE STUDENT RECORDS POLICY RELEASE OF STUDENT RECORDS All records submitted for a student’s file become the property of the College and a part of the student’s permanent record. High school transcripts, transcripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar documents are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution, including the student. STUDENT PRIVACY The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (Buckley Amendment), sets forth the guidelines for the release of student records to other parties. Under this federal law, students have the right to inspect their records and correct any inaccuracies that might be found in them. Access to the record by anyone other than the student is limited and generally requires prior written consent by the student. The College will mail confidential records, including transcripts, at the student’s direction. Any person who picks up sealed copies of these records for the student must have written, signed permission to do so from the student. Directory information, which includes a student’s name, address, date and place of birth, field of study, dates of attendance, and degrees and awards received, may be released by the College without consent of the student. Any student who wishes to withhold any or all of this directory information from release must notify the Registrar in writing within three weeks of the date of the student’s initial enrollment.

Academic Honesty

You are expected to maintain the integrity of the College by maintaining academic honesty for yourself and by expecting academic honesty from your fellow students. One of the requirements for passing the courses you take at Del Mar College is that you do your own work. Meeting this requirement means avoiding plagiarism, collusion and cheating. Plagiarism occurs when a student takes another’s words or ideas and uses them 79

ACADEMIC POLICIES as if they were the student’s own. This can happen in three ways: 1) A student copies another’s words without using quotation marks and without giving the source, 2) A student puts another’s ideas into the student’s words but does not give the source and 3) A student duplicates another’s structure of thought or organization of ideas but does not give the source. Collusion occurs when someone else writes all or any part of a student’s paper. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, a student looking at another’s work or using unauthorized materials during a test or written assignment; or fabricating data, methodology, results, findings from those in an official document, publication or research and claiming them to be authentic.

Census Date

The census date, also called the official reporting date, is the date on which Del Mar College certifies student enrollment for financial aid and state funding purposes. Classes dropped before the census date do not appear on your transcripts. Classes dropped after the census date appear on your transcripts and count toward the 6-drop limit.

Course Load

To be classified as full-time, you must register for a minimum of 12 semester hours. To complete a program in two years, the degree/certificate plans in this Catalog suggest how many semester hours you must take each semester. According to the Texas Administrative Code, you should not carry more courses in any term than would equal more than one semester credit hour per week over the course of the term. For example, in the fall or spring semester, you should not enroll in more than 16 semester hours. In a six-week summer session, you should not enroll in more than six semester hours.

Course Prerequisites And Co-Requisites

Pre-requisites and co-requisites (also known as concurrent pre-requisites) are two kinds of entry requirements for particular courses. You must satisfy prerequisites, or their equivalent, before registering for a course. You must enroll in a co-requisite course at the same time you register in the other course. In most cases, you can register for the other course if you have already successfully completed the co-requisite. Pre-requisites and co-requisites are identified in the course descriptions at the back section of this catalog.

Auditing A Course

Permission to audit a course or courses may be granted by the Registrar’s Office if you are eligible for admission to the College and either already have credit in the course(s) or do not wish credit for the work. You may audit a course on a space-available basis and are required to pay the full tuition and fees at the time of registration. Tuition and fees for auditing are the same as those rates charged to students enrolled for credit. Since auditors are only observers, you may not under any circumstances claim credit for the course. Change from credit to audit status must be done before the 12th class day in the standard 16-week session and before the beginning of the summer and non-standard semester terms (other than 16 weeks). Please visit the Registrar’s Office to change your grading method or for more information. 80

ACADEMIC POLICIES Kinesiology Activity Courses (KINE 1100-1299, KINE 2100-2299 and DANC 1101-2154) may not be audited.

Grading System

At the end of each semester, the grades and credits awarded are posted to your official academic record. Your grades may be accessed using WebDMC at www.delmar.edu/webdmc. Grades are not mailed to you. At Del Mar College, grades are expressed in letters that are equated in points used in calculating the cumulative grade-point average. Del Mar College uses a four (4.0) point system of grading. Five grades (A, B, C, D, P) indicate that the course was completed for credit and a grade was awarded. Two grades (F, R) indicate that the course was not completed for credit and a grade was not awarded. Two grades (I, W) indicate that the course was attempted and not completed. One grade (AU) indicates that the course did not earn credit. One grade (CR) indicates credit earned for courses accepted toward program completion and graduation as a result of evaluation, credit by examination, or other validations of course-required knowledge and skills. One grade (X) indicates that a grade has not been assigned. The following system of final grades is used to report student performance. Grade or Mark Grade Points Per Semester Hour A (Excellent) 4.00 B (Good) 3.00 C (Fair) 2.00 D (Poor) 1.00 F (Failure) 0.00 P (Pass) 0.00 R (Repeated) 0.00 For use in developmental course AU (Audit) 0.00 I (Incomplete) 0.00 W (Withdrawal) 0.00 CR (represents credit for courses 0.00 that are accepted toward program completion and graduation as a result of evaluation, credit by examination or other validations of course-required knowledge and skills) X (no grade assigned) 0.00

Grade Point Average

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated multiplying the semester-hour value of the course by the point value in which a completion grade of A, B, C, D, F, R, or P was earned. For example: 3 semester hours with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;?grade = 9 grade points. To determine the grade point average, add up the grade points from 81

ACADEMIC POLICIES all courses and divide by the total semester hours attempted. For example: 15 semester hours with 30 total grade points = 2.0 average. The semester hour of credit represents at least three hours of work each week, on average, for a period of fifteen to sixteen weeks (one semester credit hour is equivalent to one hour of classroom work and two hours of preparation/study time to be performed outside of class time). Laboratory work may add a semester hour’s credit to a course.

Incomplete Grade (I)

When you do not complete a course because of illness or extenuating circumstances in any semester, the instructor may assign the “I” grade, signifying that your work is incomplete. The instructor will provide you and the department chair with: 1) a written reason for the assignment of an “I” grade, 2) a description of the work to satisfy course requirements, 3) a timeline for you to complete the work and 4) a timeline for the instructor to submit a grade change form to the Registrar. The “I” grade will not be computed into the grade point average. If the “I” grade change is not completed at the end of the subsequent full-term semester (Fall or Spring), the “I” grade will automatically change to an “F” (for failing) in college-level classes, or “R” (for repeat) in developmental classes. Any exceptions to this timeline can be made only with the approval of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. If you have an “I” grade, you may not enroll in the same class in the next semester as a substitution for completing unfinished work on the “I” grade. However, if you receive a grade of “F” or “R” because you failed to complete the requirements for the removal of the “I” grade, you may re-enroll for the same course again. If you repeat the course, the grade in the repeated grade will become the grade of record and will be calculated into the Grade Point Average. The “F” or “R” from the “I” grade that was not completed will remain on the transcript.

Withdraw Grade (W)

An official withdrawal from a course may be initiated by a student or faculty member, resulting in the assignment of a “W” grade which is not computed in a grade point average. Students must meet the “W” grade deadline in order to be eligible to receive this designation. Failure to meet the deadline will result in a failing grade.

Pass/Fail (P/F) Grade

Courses taken on a pass/fail basis do not earn grade points. All pass/fail grades will be entered on the transcript. If a student fails a pass/fail course, the attempted credits will be calculated in your attempted hours that determine grade point average. The Pass/Fail grade is assigned to RNSG clinical courses in the Nurse Education Program and in the Court Reporting Program to CRTR 2435 Accelerated Machine Shorthand (Web-based course only).

Repeat Grade (R) For Developmental Courses

Del Mar College offers a number of courses to prepare students for college credit work. They are required, based on placement test scores, for you if you need additional preparation in specific subjects in degree programs. Developmental 82

ACADEMIC POLICIES courses do not count toward graduation or calculate into your semester or cumulative grade point average. In developmental courses the “R” grade is used to indicate that you have made some progress but are not ready for a more advanced course within the discipline. The grades of “D” and “F” are not used in developmental courses. The grade of “R” does not automatically convert to any other grade and is not used in computing grade point averages or academic status. If you receive the grade of “R” in a developmental course, you must reregister for that course or complete course requirements and make a grade of “A,” “B,” or “C” in order to: 1) receive credit for that developmental course and 2) be eligible to register for a more advanced course in the discipline. Developmental courses in which the “R” grade may be used include: DE02• ENGL 0305, 0306 • ESOL 0305, 0306, 0311, 0312, 0313, 0314, 0321, 0322, 0323, 0324, 0341, 0342, 0343, 0344, 0354 • INRW 0408 • MATH 0370, 0371, 0373 • READ 0305 • STSC 0101

Repeating A Course And Grade Calculation

If you repeat a course, only the highest grade earned will become your official grade for the course and will be calculated into your grade point average and will count towards total credits earned. Your first grade will remain on your transcript of record; however, it will be removed from the calculation of your cumulative grade point average and the total credits earned. If you repeat a course for three or more times, you may be subject to paying higher tuition and fees. For a repeated course, a grade of “W” may not replace a completion grade. This policy may vary with special admissions programs.

Grade Appeal

The evaluation of academic work is the prerogative of the instructor and the rules for determining final course grade should be established by the instructor and provided to the students in an electronic or printed course syllabus at the beginning of the semester. A student who believes grounds exist for the appeal of a final grade must first consult with the instructor. If the appeal cannot be resolved, a student may proceed to the grade appeal process. The procedures described in this policy are available only for appeal of a semester or term grade based on one or more of the following reasons: 1. A mathematical error in calculation of the grade or clerical error in recording of the grade that remains uncorrected; 2. The assignment of a grade to a particular student by application of more exacting requirements than were applied to other students in the course; 3. The assignment of a grade to a particular student on some basis other than performance in the course; 4. The assignment of a grade by a substantial departure from the faculty member’s previously announced standards; 5. Extenuating circumstances such as illness, incapacity, or absences of the instructor generate uncertainty regarding appropriateness of the grade assigned. Grades given as a result of academic dishonesty cannot be appealed under the grade appeal procedure, but should be made under the provisions of the Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty B7.13.7. 83

ACADEMIC POLICIES The procedures for submitting a grade appeal are available in the office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention.

Course Numbering

Courses are numbered to indicate level of instruction. Freshman level courses are designated in the 1000 sequence, and sophomore level courses are designated in the 2000 sequence. All Del Mar College courses are identified with letter abbreviations followed by a set of numbers. Courses are alphabetized in this Catalog according to their abbreviations; see the Index of Courses in the back of this Catalog to locate a specific subject. The numbers in parentheses after the course title indicates the number of lecture hours, lab hours and credits respectively. For example, CHEM 1411, General Inorganic Chemistry I (3-3-4) meets for three lecture hours and three lab hours a week in a regular semester and awards four semester hours of credit.

Four-Digit Numbers

Del Mar College has adopted the Texas Common Course Numbering System for most academic courses and the Workforce Education Course Numbering System for occupational and technical courses. These four-digit numbers were developed to simplify the process of transferring credits from Del Mar College to other Texas colleges and universities and to ensure the maximum credit possible for each transfer student. These numbers are approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. In the four-digit common course numbers the first digit usually indicates the level of the course: 0 - developmental, 1 - freshman and 2 - sophomore level. Some exceptions to this rule exist. (These courses will not count toward fulfilling the 18-hour sophomore requirement for graduation with an associate degree: MSCI 2371 and 2372.) The second digit indicates the credit value in semester hours. The third and fourth digits are used to differentiate courses or as an indicator of course sequence.

Schedule Changes Schedule Changes (Adding or Dropping a Course)

You may make schedule changes (add or drop a course) during the time specified in the Del Mar College class schedule and by completing the necessary forms required by the Registrar’s Office.

Dropping an Individual Course with a Grade of “W”

The grade of “W” will be assigned to a course that you have dropped by the date stated in the class schedule. You are not eligible to receive a grade of “W” without completing the official paperwork by the deadline stated in the schedule of classes. Each term or session has its own “W” drop deadline, which must be met in order to be eligible for a “W” grade.

Six Drop Limit

If you are a first-time student who entered college in Fall 2007 or after, you cannot drop more than six courses, including any course you have dropped at another college in Texas, according to Senate Bill 1231. There are exceptions to this policy if you can show good cause for dropping a course(s). For further information, contact the Registrar’s Office. 84

ACADEMIC POLICIES

Implications for Financial Aid

You should be aware that dropping courses may affect your eligibility for financial aid. You should contact Financial Aid Services prior to dropping a course or completely withdrawing from school. If you stop attending class without officially withdrawing from the College, then the grade is an automatic “F.” Students receiving Veterans Benefits for education should contact Veterans Services for specific policies concerning drops and withdrawals. These changes may have a direct effect on your VA benefits.

Class Attendance

Students are responsible for attendance and are advised that excessive absences may adversely affect their grades or their continued enrollment in the course. Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of you. A record of attendance may be kept by instructors, beginning the first day of class. If attendance is unsatisfactory, the instructor retains the right to initiate an instructor withdrawal from class. If you desire readmission, you should contact your instructor to discuss the option of reinstatement. If you do not carry out that procedure, your withdrawal from the class is final. If you have been reinstated into a class and are absent again without excuse, the instructor may request your final dismissal from class. Certain absences are ruled valid and acceptable, such as participation in recognized student activities of the College or illness. Specific programs, such as health sciences, may have additional attendance requirements that are applicable to the students enrolled in the program.

Student Absences on Religious Holy Days

In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.911, the College will excuse you from attending classes or other required activities, including examinations, for the observance of a religious holy day, including travel for that purpose. If your absence is excused under this subsection, you may not be penalized for that absence and will be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment within a reasonable time after the absence. “Religious holy day” means a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under the Tax Code. Notifications of planned absences must be in writing and must be delivered by you, not later than the 15th day after the first day of the semester, either (a) personally to the instructor of each class, with receipt of the notification acknowledged and dated by the instructor or (b) by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the instructor of each class.

Withdrawal From The College

Failure to file a withdrawal form may result in grades of “F” for courses in progress.

Administrative Withdrawal

The Administration may drop you for administrative reasons for reasonable cause. You may also be withdrawn for those incidents that may be related to violating the student code of conduct and in particular, disrupting the classroom and the educational process. Should you be subject to administrative withdrawal, the College will provide proper notification. You may seek the advice of the Provost 85

ACADEMIC POLICIES and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services about this procedure and any due process procedures that will be afforded. You may be withdrawn for issues related to academic integrity. Instructors with evidence of your plagiarism or other forms of cheating will follow the procedures outlined in A7.13.6.4 of the Board of Regents “Policies and Procedures Manual, Penalties for Dishonest Behavior.” A recommendation by the faculty member to suspend and/or dismiss you from the College for academic dishonesty must be submitted through the department chair to the academic dean. The appropriate academic dean will convene an Academic Ethics Committee prior to suspending/ dismissing you to afford you due process.

Instructor Withdrawal

Instructors may withdraw you from class for lack of attendance or other academic reason, such as not meeting course pre-requisite.

Appeal of Administrative Withdrawal or Instructor Withdrawal

If you are withdrawn from a class, you may • Appeal to the instructor by first obtaining an Extenuating Circumstances Schedule Change Form from the Registrar’s Office and presenting it to the instructor. • If satisfactory arrangements can be made between you and the instructor, readmission to the class may be permitted upon the completion of the Schedule Change Form.. • The completed form must be returned by you to the Registrar’s Office within 10 working days from the date of the drop by the instructor.

Academic Standing

Academic standing will be established once you have completed 12 college credit hours. Academic standing is determined at the end of each semester when an evaluation is made of your cumulative grade point average (GPA). To be in good scholastic standing, you must maintain a 2.0 GPA. The grades posted on your transcript are a permanent record and will always be a part of your academic history. Grades can affect your eligibility for admissions to a specialized program, transferability to another college or university, or qualifications as an applicant for employment. If you have completed 12 college credit hours and your cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0, then the following applies

Probation: Probation I

Students with a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 and who have 12 or more credit hours completed will be placed on academic probation. Probation means you can still enroll at the College but are not in good standing and a hold will be placed on your registration. To remove the hold students must meet with a program/ academic advisor to get signed degree plan and a retention case manager to develop a learning contract. Students will also receive correspondence from the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention outlining student support options and contact information for Retention Case Managers.

Second Warning: Probation II (continued probation)

Students who continue on academic probation for more than one semester and complete 13 credit hours or more and have less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA will 86

ACADEMIC POLICIES continue to be on probation. Continued probation means you can still enroll at the College but are still not in good standing and a hold will be placed on your registration for a mandatory meeting with your program/academic advisor to review/update your degree plan and a retention alert case manager to review/ update your learning contract. Students will receive correspondence from the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention outlining next steps.

Suspension

Students who fail to raise their GPA above 2.0 cumulative after two semesters will then be subject to academic suspension. If you are placed on academic suspension you must appeal utilizing the academic suspension appeal form. Completing the form will require you to meet with and secure signatures from your program/ academic advisor and a retention case manager to ensure you are following the degree plan and learning contract that was developed. After meeting with your program/academic advisor and retention case manager, you must contact the dean of your academic unit and make an appointment to discuss your appeal and grounds for continued enrollment and obtain the dean’s signature. The final step of the academic suspension appeal process is turning the form into the Registrar’s Office.

Transfer Student Appeal for Admission

If you are transferring from another college or university on scholastic suspension, you may appeal for admission by utilizing the academic suspension appeal form available at the Registrar’s Office.

Suspension Appeals

If you are on scholastic suspension from Del Mar College or from any other college, you must appeal utilizing the academic suspension appeal form. It is your responsibility to initiate the request. The form is available at the Registrar’s Office.

Academic Recognition Honors Program

The Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services coordinates the Honors Program which offers several discipline-related honors plans to provide intellectual stimulus, and professional development, while awarding special recognition. Some plans provide a broad experience of interrelated study. Others emphasize intensive study of a single subject. A current list of courses available for honors credit is accessible via this link: www.delmar.edu/Honors_Program.aspx. Reasonable progression towards the completion of a plan, with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA, is required in the Program. Re-admittance in the Program is possible for extenuating circumstances.

Honors Courses

Honors courses are available to every student continuing in the Honors Program and who has met the prerequisites for the standard course and the honors component. Most employers and university faculty equate honors credits with challenged, enriched study. Therefore, the honors component of any course must have amplified substance and elevated prerequisites beyond those of the standard course. Assessment levels of R3, E3, M3 are recommended for all honors courses. 87

ACADEMIC POLICIES

Honors Program Learning Contract

The Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services provides the learning contract to current and prospective honors students. To receive honors credit, you must enroll in a standard class and, after the semester starts, sign a learning contract with the instructor for the honors component of the course. Credit for honors will be awarded at the end of the semester, after the course project grade of “A” or “B” has been registered and completion of the honors contract has been verified by the Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. An “H” indicates honors credit on transcripts.

Honors Designation on Transcript

If you have completed the requirements of your selected honors plan at the time of graduation and if you have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, you will receive special designation on your official transcript.

Honors List

If you are enrolled for and complete 6 or more semester hours of college-level course work and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or more on your semester grades, your name will be included on the Honors List. Developmental courses beginning with the number zero are not considered in Honors List calculations.

President’s Honors List

If you are enrolled for and complete 6 or more semester hours of college-level course work and earn a grade point average of 4.0 on your semester grades, your name will be included on the President’s List. Developmental courses beginning with the number zero are not considered in President’s List calculations.

Graduation with Honors List

If your cumulative GPA falls within one of the following ranges at the end of the semester prior to the commencement ceremony, you will be recognized at the commencement ceremony and the honors designation will be noted on your transcript. To graduate with honors, you must meet the following overall grade point average

ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT

Assessment and Placement The College is committed to make certain that you are placed in the correct course sequence to ensure success. Assessment Of Skills

Assessment of basic skills, through testing, is essential because it helps you and your academic advisor with proper course selection. Specifically, you need to be tested for reading, writing and English, and mathematics skills to determine your readiness for college-credit courses prior to registration. This testing requirement is part of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI). Performance on tests will not be used as a condition of admission to the College. However, placement levels are used to determine which classes you can sign up for.

Levels

All college-level courses at Del Mar College require specific assessment levels. Any assessment below Level III means that you will be placed in developmental course to further strengthen your skills and ensure academic success. An assessment level chart is found on the next page and in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Course Descriptionsâ&#x20AC;? section of this Catalog to assist you and advisors in determining your placement in coursework.

Testing Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Compliance

All new students are required to take a placement test to determine if developmental courses are needed in reading, writing and mathematics as required by the Texas Success Initiative. The TSI Placement Assessment is valid up to five years from the test date. The purpose of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), mandated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is to grant institutions of higher education the flexibility and responsibility to improve individualized programs and ensure the success of students in higher education. All students must meet placement requirements before enrolling in restricted courses. ** The following examinations all qualify to satisfy the TSI requirement: ACT - American College Test TAKS - Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills SAT - Scholastic Aptitude Test (taken before March 2015) STARR (EOC) - State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness NOTE: The above exemptions may be used within a five year period of enrollment.

1. Only if you are currently enrolled or are a former Del Mar College student are you eligible to apply for credit. Informal evaluation will be done free of charge. 2. Credit by exam - College Board Advance Placement (AP), College Board Achievement Exam (SAT II), College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) will be accepted as “credit only” (CR) and will not affect your Grade Point Average (GPA). 3. Only an “A” or “B” grade receives credit for departmental exams. Grade points are given for a departmental exam and a footnote indicating that credit was obtained by examination will be indicated on your transcript. 4. Credit earned by evaluation of credentials will be determined by the pass/fail method. No grade other than “CR,” the number of credit hours, course number and title are recorded on your transcript. 5. Examinations offered at Del Mar College can be retaken only after six months have elapsed. Some departmental examinations cannot be retaken. 6. Credit by examination satisfies degree requirements in the same way as credit earned by passing courses, except that it cannot be used to satisfy the 25 percent of semester credit hours earned at Del Mar College, which is the residency requirement for graduation. 7. Credit may not be earned by examination for most performanceoriented courses, such as music ensembles, drama productions, dance performances, radio-television shows, speech competitions, physical activities, etc.

Procedures

1. Obtain a petition to record credit in the Registrar’s Office or the appropriate academic department. 2. Have the petition signed by the department chairperson. 3. Pay the required fee at the Business Office. 4. Take the test or present documentation for evaluation. If credit is granted, the results will be forwarded by the department chairperson, to the dean and to the Registrar’s Office. You can get more detailed information about testing procedures from the 98

ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT Registrar’s Office both on East and West Campus or the appropriate academic department.

Fees

A statement of testing fees and evaluation charges is available at the Business Office and additional information for the petitioning and recording of credit is available in the Registrar’s Office.

Advising

Academic advising is important. It is available to all who wish to talk about course prerequisites, graduation requirements, career opportunities and suggestions for doing well in class. If you are a declared major, you work closely with faculty members in your major department. If you are an undeclared or liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) major, you are advised by the staff located in the Student Enrollment Center. Advising is required prior to online registration if you have earned 24 credits or fewer. If you have more than 24 credits, you are still encouraged to meet with an advisor.

Appointments

You need to call the department of your major to schedule an advising appointment. If you are using the Student Enrollment Center, walk-ins are welcome; no appointment is needed.

Your Responsibilities

• Prior to the appointment, think about your goals and reflect on previous academic progress. If you are currently enrolled, you should consider how you are doing in your classes. Think about your other commitments (work, family, etc.) and how those impact your time. Then, you and your advisor can discuss how to turn goals into reality by following your degree plan. A copy of the degree plan, given to you, will show the specific courses needed. • You are responsible for making sure that the courses selected meet degree requirements. Use the College Catalog to confirm which courses meet the requirements. Failure to obtain correct information will not exempt you from having to meet those requirements. You should bring a tentative list of classes you want to take to the advising appointment. • Courses should be selected with attention to prerequisites and sequences. If you preregister for classes for which you lack the prerequisites, you can be dropped from those classes by the chairperson of the appropriate department in order to release those spaces to students who have satisfied the prerequisites. You will be protected from such removal only if you secure permission of the chairperson prior to registering. • It is your responsibility to know specific transfer requirements of the college or university to which you plan to transfer. This responsibility includes knowing course requirements, number of credit hours accepted and grade-point average required for admission. Bring a copy of the catalog of your transfer institution to your advising appointment. 99

ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT â&#x20AC;˘ You are expected to keep a copy of your degree plan, signed by both yourself and your advisor. Each time you meet with an advisor, you should bring your most recent degree plan for updating.

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY

Your Rights, Responsibilities, Safety Here’s what you need to know about how to conduct yourself on campus. Data Student Records

Your records pertaining to directory information and education are kept by the Registrar’s Office. According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), education records are those records that relate directly to your academic progress maintained by the institution. If you want to review your records, you may do so by requesting and presenting your photo ID in the Registrar’s Office. If, upon review, you desire to challenge any portion of your records, you should contact the Registrar for additional information. School officials, who act in your educational interest within the limitations of their need to know, have access to your records without your prior written consent.

DEL MAR COLLEGE STUDENT RECORDS POLICY RELEASE OF STUDENT RECORDS

All records submitted for a student’s file become the property of the College and a part of the student’s permanent record. High school transcripts, transcripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar documents are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution, including the student. Rights You have certain rights under FERPA with respect to your education records. They are: 1. The right to inspect and review your education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access. You should submit to the registrar, dean, department chairperson, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) you wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was submitted, that official will advise you of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of your education records that you believe is inaccurate or misleading. If upon review you desire to challenge any portion of your records, you should contact the Registrar. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits 103

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff). A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Del Mar College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605.

This restriction of consent remains in effect until revoked by you, or until you fail to register for a subsequent semester. In those cases where you file a request for restriction of information, such information is treated as confidential and in response to public inquiries, the College will verify only whether you are currently enrolled.

A student may be suspended or expelled prior to a hearing when there is imminent danger to the student or another individual on campus.

Student Complaints

Procedures for student complaints against the College have been set forth in writing and are included in the Board of Regents Policy Manual. The Dean of Student Engagement and Retention is responsible for coordinating the processing of student complaints. The Student Complaint Policy is based on the belief that such complaints are best resolved at the level closest to the issue that led to the complaint. Resolutions to such complaints must be reached through the participation of all parties involved in the issue that led to the complaint. All procedures developed in relation to this policy will be applied in an equitable and nondiscriminatory manner and will protect the rights of all parties. • Non-Academic Complaint - The Non-Academic Complaint is a complaint by a student which does not involve grades or any academic issues. 106

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY • General Academic (Non-Grade) Complaint - The General Academic Non-Grade Complaint is a complaint by a student who has any academic disagreement not directly related to the assignment of a grade(s). • Grade Appeals - The evaluation of academic work is the prerogative of the instructor and the rules for determining final course grade should be established by the instructor and provided to the students in an electronic or printed course syllabus at the beginning of the semester. A student who believes grounds exist for the appeal of a final grade must first consult with the instructor. If the appeal cannot be resolved, a student may proceed to the grade appeal process. A student with a complaint against another student should consult with the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention on the proper procedure to follow.

Responsibility and Liability Insurance

It is your responsibility to carry personal health and/or minor medical insurance. The Office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention has several companies’ brochures available; however, the College does not promote one company’s product over another. Activities in occupational classes and programs may expose you to more than the usual degree of responsibility and liability. Del Mar College is not liable for injuries sustained on campus, according to state statute. Health sciences, cosmetology, criminal justice, law enforcement, fire science, emergency medical services and occupational safety and health students may be required to carry professional liability insurance in addition to personal medical insurance.

Policies

Major College policies can directly affect you. So, it’s important to become familiar with the following:

Discrimination and Harassment Policy for Students

Del Mar College, in its continuing effort to seek equity in education and in support of federal and state anti-discrimination legislation, provides a complaint procedure for the prompt and equitable investigation and resolution of complaints of unlawful discrimination or harassment of students based on their race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender, identity/transgender status, sexual orientation), age, disability, veteran or military status. This complaint procedure also constitutes the grievance procedure for complaints alleging unlawful sex discrimination required under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The Discrimination and Harassment Complaint procedure provides a process through which the College may receive, respond to, and prevent incidents of alleged discrimination and/or harassment (includes sexual harassment). Students who wish to submit complaints of discrimination or harassment should contact the District Student Complaint Coordinator.

Del Mar College (the “College”) will not tolerate and strictly prohibits sexual violence, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The College will act to protect its students and employees from incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking committed by employees, students or outside third parties.

This prohibition applies to property owned by others that the College District uses by agreement, and further applies to all District vehicles. All members of the Del Mar College community to observe the provisions and comply with the spirit and intent of this policy.

Drug and Alcohol Policy

Del Mar College is committed to working to maintain a safe, healthy, lawful and productive working and educational environment for all employees and students. Studies have shown that use of illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol increases the potential for accidents, absenteeism, tardiness, unsatisfactory performance, inefficiency, poor employee morale and damage to the College’s reputation. The intent of this policy is to make Del Mar College a better place to study and work through upgrading the mental and physical health of the total College community. It acknowledges the freedom of choice for those individuals who require or seek information relative to Drug/Alcohol Abuse. A. Definition of Legal Drugs • A “legal drug” is a prescribed drug or over-the-counter drug which has been legally obtained and is being legally used for the purpose for which it was prescribed or manufactured. B. Definition of Illegal Drugs • An “illegal drug” is any drug or controlled substance which is (l) not legally obtainable or (2) is legally obtainable but was not legally obtained. The term “illegal drug” includes all illegal drugs, dangerous drugs and controlled substances defined and listed in Articles 4476-14 and 4476-15 (Texas Controlled Substances Act) Vernon’s Texas Civil Statutes. Marijuana, hashish, cocaine, PCP, LSD, heroin, Dilaudid, Quaaludes, steroids and methamphetamine are only a few of the dangerous drugs or controlled substances which are included within such terms. • This policy applies to all students and employees of Del Mar College, as well as College visitors, contractors and all other persons occupying space in/on conveyances, offices, buildings, facilities, or grounds over which Del Mar College has custody and control, including, but not limited to, rentals and leasing of auditorium and classroom spaces. • This policy does not cancel or supersede other laws, orders, instructions, or regulations which make the use, possession and/or distribution of dangerous drugs and controlled substances illegal. • When personal or behavioral problems begin to affect a student’s academic performance, and this appears to be the result of drug or alcohol abuse, the individual may be referred to the College Counseling Center for information on drugs/alcohol and/or to local community 109

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY professionals. The student shall be responsible for any cost and/or fees incurred for professional services. Information concerning diagnosis, treatment and medical records will be kept strictly confidential. • It is recognized that a person’s job performance or academic studies may be affected by persons in the employee’s or student’s family who have alcohol, drug, or other emotional or behavioral problems. Therefore, the College will offer information services to these family members, but accepts no further responsibility. • Use, distribution, or possession of alcoholic beverages, dangerous drugs, or controlled substances while on College property or at any authorized activity sponsored by or for any College-related organization, whether on or off campus, is subject to disciplinary action.

AIDS Policy

Del Mar College recognizes that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related conditions such as AIDS-Related Complex (ARC) pose significant issues in an academic setting. Because of the College’s commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe campus environment, the AIDS policy and other procedures emphasize the education of employees and students concerning AIDS and the management of each case of AIDS individually with sensitivity, flexibility and concern for the affected individual as well as other employees and students. You may obtain educational pamphlets on AIDS at the Office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention, or the Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life and the Student Enrollment Center in the Harvin Student Center (East Campus) or the Coleman Center (West Campus). These pamphlets were developed by the Texas Department of Health. Del Mar College, in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of l974, shall not give specific or detailed information concerning complaints or diagnosis without the expressed written consent of the affected student or employee. You will not be denied enrollment or the right to attend classes or participate in College functions solely on the basis of diagnosis or suspicion of having HIV, AIDS, or ARC. If a physician’s evaluation demonstrates that you are unable to perform academically or that continued attendance presents a health or safety risk to yourself or others, the administration will make a decision solely on such medical evaluation about continuation of enrollment.

Immunization Policy

A conscientious exemption form from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) must be used. 3. Confirmation that the student has completed the Internet-based Department of State Health Services form to claim an exemption for reasons of conscience. The form can be found on https://corequestjc.dshs.texas.gov. Consultation with a Physician Students are advised of the importance of consulting with a physician about the need for the immunization against bacterial meningitis to prevent the disease. Additional Information For additional information please contact the Del Mar College Student Enrollment Center at (361) 698-1290, by email at enroll@delmar.edu or in person at the Student Enrollment Center located in Harvin Center Room 127. Students may also visit www.delmar.edu/meningitis to learn more about SB 62 and the meningitis requirement or to access exemption forms. Additional Immunizations Senate Bill 1517 (effective Fall 1991) gives Texas institutions of higher education the option of requiring you to prove that you have been adequately immunized for diphtheria, rubeola, rubella, mumps, tetanus and poliomyelitis prior to admission. The consequences of not being fully immunized are severe. An outbreak of any of these diseases can have a devastating impact on the campus community. Immunization is an integral part of preventive health care. Therefore, Del Mar College recommends that you be fully vaccinated prior to enrollment and that preventive vaccinations be taken when required. If you are majoring in the health care fields, you must provide documented proof that you have been fully immunized. For additional immunization information, you are encouraged to contact your family physician, the county health department, or the Immunization Division of the Texas Department of Health. Health Care Students These requirements apply to students enrolled in the health care majors who have direct or will have direct patient contact. Immunizations and other requirements: • Tetanus/Diphtheria: must have one dose within past 10 years. • Measles: those born since January 1, 1957, must have two doses since 12 months of age. The two doses must be at least 30 days apart. • Mumps: those born since January 1, 1957, must have at least one dose since 12 months of age. • Rubella: at least one dose since 12 months of age is required. 112

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY • Hepatitis B: a complete series is required prior to beginning direct patient care. • Tuberculosis test: must be performed annually. • Criminal background check

Bacterial Meningitis Information

This information is being provided to all college students in the state of Texas. Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast - so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is a treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities. What are the symptoms? • High fever • Rash or purple patches on skin • Light sensitivity • Confusion and sleepiness • Lethargy • Severe headache • Vomiting • Stiff neck • Nausea • Seizures There may be a rash of tiny, red-purple spots caused by bleeding under the skin. These can occur anywhere on the body. The more symptoms, the higher the risk, so when these symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention. How is bacterial meningitis diagnosed? • Diagnosis is made by a medical provider and is usually based on a combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory results from spinal fluid and blood tests. • Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the likelihood of recovery. How is the disease transmitted? • The disease is transmitted when people exchange saliva (such as by kissing, or by sharing drinking containers, utensils, cigarettes, toothbrushes, etc.) or come in contact with respiratory or throat secretions. How do you increase your risk of getting bacterial meningitis? • Exposure to saliva by sharing cigarettes, water bottles, eating utensils, food, kissing, etc. • Living in close conditions (such as sharing a room/suite in a dorm or group home). What are the possible consequences of the disease? • Death (in 8 to 24 hours) • Permanent brain damage 113

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY • Kidney failure • Learning disability • Hearing loss, blindness • Limb damage (fingers, toes, arms, legs) that requires amputation • Gangrene • Coma • Convulsions Can the disease be treated? • Antibiotic treatment, if received early, can save lives and chances of recovery are increased. However permanent disability or death can still occur. • Vaccinations are available and should be considered for: • Those living in close quarters • College students 29 years old or younger • Vaccinations are effective against four of the five most common bacterial types that cause 70 percent of the disease in the U.S. (but does not protect against all types of meningitis). • Vaccinations take seven to 10 days to become effective, with protection lasting three to five years. • The cost of vaccine varies, so check with your health care provider. • Vaccination is very safe - most common side effects are redness and minor pain at injection site for up to two days. • Vaccination is available at your health care provider.

How can I find out more information? • Contact your own health care provider. • Contact your local or regional health department.

Information is also available at www.delmar.edu/Disclosure.aspx.

Parking

Parking can be a challenge. This is true at other colleges as well. Del Mar College has developed regulations for the purposes of: • proper identification of vehicles of persons who have legitimate business with the College, • to ensure safety/notification of students/faculty and other persons in an emergency, • to provide orderly parking, traffic and use of parking facilities, • to provide for the purchase and issuance of vehicle identification permits, • to ensure pedestrian safety, and • to provide for enforcement in the event of violation. The operation of a motor vehicle on Del Mar College property is governed by College policies and regulations. The fact that a violation notice is not issued when a violation occurs does not 115

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY imply that the regulation or rule is not in effect. Each operator is responsible for knowing and following the parking rules and regulations. Campus Security has been charged with the authority to enforce these regulations, including the right to tow vehicles for specific violations and repeat violators. The owner or operator of a towed vehicle is responsible for the cost of towing and storage fees in addition to any other fines. Proof that a parking or traffic control device, sign, signal, or marking was in place at any location on the campus shall constitute prima facie evidence that it was official and was installed under proper authority by College, city, state and federal guidelines. The College assumes no responsibility for any vehicle or its content while the vehicle is parked or operated on College property. All vehicle operators should lock or otherwise secure their vehicles when parked on any campus of Del Mar College.

Definitions

For the purpose of these parking and traffic regulations, the following terms are defined: Abandoned Vehicle - a motor vehicle, bicycle, or other conveyance parked on Del Mar College property for more than three days without being moved DMC - Del Mar College Campus - all property owned or controlled by Del Mar College College - Del Mar College Citation - Notification issued by a Corpus Christi police officer, which may be written to any vehicle found in violation of state law or city ordinances on DMC property Parking for Disabled Individuals - spaces or areas reserved for any disabled individual who has an appropriate (placard) hang tag or license plate from the County Tax Assessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Habitual Violator - any person who has received three or more violation notices within a twelve-month period Impound - towing and storage of vehicle at a towing facility Marked space - space defined by two parallel lines Motor Vehicle - all automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, motor scooters, motorbikes, mopeds, etc. Moving Violations - moving traffic law violations as enacted by the State of Texas No Parking Zones - all areas not specifically designated for parking, to include painted curbs, fire lanes, construction areas, loading zones, service delivery and bus zones. See â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vehicle Identification Permitsâ&#x20AC;? section. Parking Permit (Vehicle Identification Permit) - a temporary card or self-adhering decal issued by DMC, authorizing the motor vehicle properly displaying the permit to be lawfully parked within designated areas. The issuance and display of the permit serves as proper registration. Includes student permit, non-reserved permit and reserved permit.

These notifications are subject to College fines and a right of students to appeal within the College as defined in Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds section. VIP - Vehicle Identification Permit, including: student permit, non-reserved permit and reserved permit

Parking Regulations

Registration of Vehicles All vehicles parked on campus at any time must display (on rear windshield, passenger side) a Vehicle Identification Permit except for vehicles belonging to visitors during registration periods or one-day visits. Students are not currently assessed a parking registration fee. The College retains the option to assess a parking registration fee for students in the future. Procurement of a Vehicle Identification Permit by students or employees with non-reserved parking does not guarantee a specified parking space. Each driver is responsible for finding a legal parking space. Inability to locate a parking space is not an excuse for violating parking regulations. A Vehicle Identification Permit will not be issued to any person having unpaid violation charges until full payment is made at the Business Office. A Vehicle Identification Permit may not be purchased for or displayed by an individual ineligible to receive the permit. The College may suspend for a period of one year the parking privileges of individuals who violate this regulation. Vehicle Identification Permits Any person attending Del Mar College who is not employed by the College is eligible for a student Vehicle Identification Permit. Student workers may receive only student Vehicle Identification Permit. The process by which a student receives a Vehicle Identification Permit is as follows: 1. The student completes the appropriate College parking registration card. 2. The student submits the card to Campus Security. 3. Campus Security issues a Vehicle Identification Permit to the student. Parking for Disabled Persons Del Mar College will follow state law regarding parking for disabled persons. Students, faculty and staff who have qualified and obtained a license plate or placard reflecting disability from the County Tax Assessor’s Office will be issued a non-reserved Vehicle Identification Permit. Those individuals may park in any parking space for disabled persons as long as their license plate reflects disabled status or their placard reflecting disability is hanging in their vehicle and clearly visible. 117

The vehicles of habitual violators may also be towed without notice at the expense of the vehicle owner. Suspension of parking privileges will be decided by the Director of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management and/or the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention, after reviewing recommendations from Campus Security. A person in whose name an unpaid violation exists and no appeal is pending, shall be barred from enrollment in a subsequent semester until fines are paid. Transcripts and refunds shall also be withheld by the Business Office from any person in whose name an unpaid violation charge exists and no appeal is pending. In addition to the above-mentioned penalties, the Business Office will send a letter to students who receive a violation notice and no appeal is pending, to remind them to pay their fines.

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY All charges are subject to change without notice. Receiving four tickets for any violation will result in vehicle being immediately towed at owner’s expense. Except as noted above, violation notices will be issued in cases where traffic can be rerouted or vehicle operators can be immediately located to move their vehicle. In all other cases, vehicles will be towed and ticketed. The fine rate is set by the College for administrative violations. However, citations issued by the Corpus Christi Police Department and/or Corpus Christi Fire Department will result in fines decreed by the courts. Multiple violations can be alleged on the same Violation Notice. Charges will be assessed for each violation. Violation Notice Payments Payments must be made within 30 days of the date the Violation Notice was issued. Payments may be made at the Business Office, Harvin Student Center at Del Mar College East or the Coleman Center at Del Mar College West during business hours. Payments not made within 30 days will result in a hold being placed against enrollment in a subsequent semester, transcripts or refunds. It may also result in suspension of parking privileges. Appeals by students must be filed with the Student Government Association within 10 working days of the date Violation Notice was issued. Students must file a written petition for a hearing in the Harvin Student Center - East Campus, Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life, Room 105; or Room 106 at the Coleman Center - West Campus. If the student has the same family name or home address as the registered owner of a vehicle for which a Violation Notice has been issued, the Violation Notice and accompanying violation charges will be recorded in the student’s name. Unpaid charges for parking violations are recorded in either: • the name of the person who previously purchased a parking permit; or • the name of the purchaser of the permit displayed; or • the name of the person who has previously paid violation charges on the vehicle; or • the name of the owner or driver. Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds A Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) appointed by the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention helps assure fairness in the issuance of parking Violation Notices and vehicle impounds. The findings of the SJC are final. A person who receives a Violation Notice, or whose vehicle has been impounded, may request an appeal. The appeal is handled through the Student Government Association (SGA). If the Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) finds a vehicle was improperly impounded, the Violation Notice/Citation and towing/impounding expenses incurred by the individual whose vehicle was impounded will be reimbursed by the College. All requests for appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the issuance of the Violation Notice. The Violation Notice or a copy of the notice must be attached to the appeal form. A person who fails to file the request within this time period waives the right to appeal. Appeals for which 10-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester. The appeals committee may summon the individual who issued the Violation Notice or performed the vehicle impound if he/she is available to assist the committee. All appeals will be heard within 15 working days of the date an appeal is requested. 120

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY Appeals for which the 15-working-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester.

CORE CURRICULUM

General Education and Core Curriculum Philosophy and Rationale General Education Competencies

The General Education Competencies at Del Mar College inform the educational experiences of all Associate Degree Graduates. All graduates will be able to demonstrate the following competencies: Critical Thinking, Communication, Empirical and Quantitative Skills, Teamwork, Personal Responsibility and Social Responsibility.

General Education Requirements

Support for the development of these competencies is located in the curriculum requirements for successful completion of the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) and the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees. AA, AS, AAT The General Degree requirements for all transfer degrees at Del Mar College are prescribed by the core curriculum guidelines set forth by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Texas law requires that each public college and university identify and requires a core curriculum of 42 credits for its degrees designed to transfer. In addition, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has prescribed eight (8) Foundational Component Areas and a Component Area Option, with a specified number of credits for each. A student who completes 42-hour core curriculum at Del Mar College may transfer the block of courses to any other Texas public college. That college must count it for their core curriculum. Students who do not complete the entire 42-hour core, but complete the requirements for one or more Foundational Component Areas, may transfer those courses and will receive credit for each of the courses transferred. Students should consult with their advisors to ensure that the core curriculum courses they take are correct for their degree plan and for the major at the college or university to which they intend to transfer. The core curriculum supports the General Education Competencies of Del Mar College as it is structured to develop competencies in critical thinking, communication, empirical and quantitative skills, teamwork, personal responsibility and social responsibility. The core curriculum is further designed to give students breadth of knowledge in the liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) and to promote critical thinking skills that are fundamental to higher education. Through the Texas Core Curriculum, students will gain a foundation of knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world, develop principles of personal and social responsibility for living in a diverse world, and advance intellectual and practical skills that are essential for all learning. NOTE: Core courses that have a four digit course number beginning with a number â&#x20AC;&#x153;2â&#x20AC;? are sophomore-level courses.

Additionally, the Emergency Medical Services Professions program offers an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree that meets the requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services for designation as a Licensed Paramedic. Paramedic coursework (either Certificate or Associate Degree level) is only begun in the Fall (for daytime classes) and the Spring (for evening classes). Students must apply to be accepted into either the day or evening paramedic programs. Students should contact the Emergency Medical Services Professions program office to begin the application process, to confirm due dates for applications, and to check on schedules. All applicants must meet the specific admission requirements of the EMS program, as well as those for a regularly enrolled student, including assessments. Clinical or Practicum Rotations: Students in the program will perform clinical/practicum rotations at area hospitals and field internships with local Emergency Medical Services. Hospitals are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). JCAHO requires the following of all students in clinical rotations: current criminal history, drug screen, Hepatitis “B” vaccination, TB testing, Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccination, and Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus (DPT) vaccination. Students are also required to purchase certain uniforms and equipment prior to beginning clinical rotations and field internships. Students should contact the program Clinical Coordinator for a complete listing of requirements and where JCAHO requirements can be met. Course Completion: Students who successfully complete the course(s) of study required by the Texas Department of State Health Services will be allowed to take the appropriate National Registry certification exam as developed by The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. NOTE: The Texas Department of State Health Services may not allow persons to test to receive certification or licensure if they have been convicted of certain crimes above the level of a Class “C” misdemeanor. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) arrests or convictions may preclude the candidate from certification, no matter the level of arrest or conviction. Students who have convictions of this nature should contact the program director prior to enrollment. 229

Sound Recording Technology

The Associate in Applied Science degree in Sound Recording Technology (SRT) prepares students for jobs that intersect the skills used in audio recording, live sound, film/video and post-production, music retail and small business ownership. This includes the operation of equipment and software used in studio recording and mixing, live venue console operation and sound reinforcement systems, non-linear video editing and skills needed to operate a personal business related to the aforementioned fields. Strong emphasis is placed on technical ability and knowledge, aural skills and listening, creative problem solving and musical understanding. All SRT students must complete courses in music theory, piano, ear training, directed business electives and an applied instrument (or voice) in addition to the music technology specific classes. Students must pass all MUSI and MUSC classes with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or better to advance to the next level or count as a prerequisite. The objectives for the Certificate in Sound Recording Business are more focused than the full AAS and the coursework is streamlined. The curriculum for the certificate directs the education of the student toward a small business ownership in music; primarily a project-oriented recording studio or for knowledge relevant for music retail.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Course Numbering System

All Del Mar College courses are identified with letter abbreviations followed by a set of numbers. Courses are alphabetized in this catalog according to their abbreviations; see the Index of Courses in the back of this Catalog to locate a specific subject. The numbers in parentheses after the course title indicates the number of lecture hours, lab hours and credits respectively. For example, CHEM 1411, General Inorganic Chemistry I (3-3-4) meets for three lecture hours and three lab hours a week in a regular semester and awards four semester hours of credit. Four-Digit Numbers Del Mar College has adopted the Texas Common Course Numbering System for most academic courses and the Workforce Education Course Numbering System for occupational and technical courses. These four-digit numbers were developed to simplify the process of transferring credits from Del Mar College to other Texas colleges and universities and to ensure the maximum credit possible for each transfer student. These numbers are approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. In the four-digit common course numbers the first digit usually indicates the level of the course: 0 - developmental, 1 - freshman and 2 - sophomore level. Some exceptions to this rule exist. (These courses will not count toward fulfilling the 18-hour sophomore requirement for graduation with an associate degree: MSCI 2371 and 2372) The second digit indicates the credit value in semester hours. The third and fourth digits are used to differentiate courses or as an indicator of course sequence. Assessment Levels The Del Mar College faculty has established specific Assessment Levels for every college-level course. These levels refer to diagnosed abilities in the basic skills of reading, writing and English, and mathematics. They are listed as prerequisite Assessment Levels at the end of most course descriptions. Using Biology 1406. Biological Concepts I - Cellular And Molecular as an example, R3, E3, M2 means this course requires the student to have reading and English Assessment Levels of 3 (college level), while mathematics assessment may be at level 2 (intermediate developmental level). Level 1 denotes basic developmental level. If no R, E, or M is listed, the assessment level defaults to Level 1. Students must meet the assessment levels shown for each course either by placement testing or by previous course work. Scores ACT and SAT scores more than five years old will not be used for course placement in English, reading, or math. Please refer to the Assessment Levels chart on the following page to see how scores are used. Texas Success Initiative (TSI) All new students are required to take a placement test to determine if developmental courses are needed in reading, writing and English and mathematics as required by the Texas Success Initiative. The purpose of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), mandated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is to grant institutions of higher education the 340
