HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

As the 1991-92 College academicyear approaches, so does the milestone ofthe College’s twenty-fifth anniversary ofservice to the community. Many groupsand individuals, both past and present,have played an important part in thedevelopment of Galveston College.

It is known that as early as 1934there was considerable local interest in acommunity junior college for Galveston.Interested citizens were able to call andhold an election on November 2, 1935,which created a junior college district withgeographical boundaries coterminous withthose of the Galveston Independent SchoolDistrict.

Attempts to activate the districtincluded a June 27, 1936, tax proposal,which met with failure at the polls.Community leaders did not relax theirefforts during the ensuing years, despiteanother unsuccessful election in 1958which proposed a county-wide juniorcollege district.

In 1965, a Union Junior CollegeDistrict, composed of all but three of theindependent school districts in the county,was organized.

On April 2, 1966, the UnionJunior College District unsuccessfullysubmitted bond and tax proposals to thevoters.

In July of 1966, theCommissioner’s Court of Galveston Countyconsidered favorably a resolution by theUnion Junior College District to disannexthe territory comprising the GalvestonJunior College District from the territorycomprising the newly organized UnionJunior College District. This act providedthe avenue by which the original districtcould be activated.

That same year, Galvestonleaders renewed their drive to obtain acollege for the Island. An attorneygeneral’s opinion was sought and itdetermined that the original district wasstill in legal existence.

The original Board of Regentswas appointed on September 21, 1966, bythe Public School District Trustees.

On December 3, 1966, anelection was held to establish amaintenance tax for the operation of theCollege. An annual ad valorem tax wasauthorized at a rate not to exceed $0.27 pereach $100 valuation of taxable propertywithin the College District.

From the opening of the Collegein September 1967, through the Spring of1970, the College occupied Moody Hall, arefurbished orphanage, as its only campusfacility. The initial academic offerings werefairly broad in scope, while theoccupational program was minimal butwith strong offerings in vocational nursing,office occupations, engineering-draftingand law enforcement.

During this period, the Collegeimplemented cooperative agreements withthe University of Texas Medical Branchhospitals resulting in programs in AssodateDegree Nursing and Associated HealthOccupations, received a gift from TheMoody Foundation for one million dollarsand achieved its initial accreditation by theSouthern Association of Colleges andSchools.

By the Fall of 1970, the College’sinitial enrollment of 730 had grown to1,245. During the next two years, theCollege expanded into temporarybuildings, several of which were new,others the result of adjacent propertyacquisitions. Additional programsestablished were in mid-management andnursing assistant.

Notable developments duringthis period were a cooperative nursingprogram with Brazosport College, a five-year federal allied health grant of a quartermillion dollars, and during the Summer of1972, occupancy of the Mary MoodyNorthen Center for occupationaleducation.

Enrollment for the Fall Semester1972 was 1,717. During the period 1972-76,many new occupational programs wereadded, including offset printing, industrialengine mechanics, refrigeration mechanics,banking and lash/on merchand/sing, officesimulation, and a certificate program inhospital unit clerk training. Added to thesewas an academic program in cooperativeeducation.

During this latest period, theCollege inaugurated several contractservices beginning with offset printinginstruction to Ball High School students,acquired a 5.2 acre portion of the old FortCrockett military installation, initiatedconcurrent enrollment agreements withcity high schools, and attainedaccreditation reaffirmation from theSouthern Association of Colleges andSchools.

In May 1977, the Collegeopened its Fort Crockett campus at whichsome 600 students received course work inhealth care programs, fine arts, physical

education and various other credit andadult educational offerings. Since 1977, theCollege has added courses in computersdenee, child development, humandevelopment, television and surgicaltechnology. Also, a grant from the NationalScience Foundation has enabledmathematics and science instructors toemploy the computer as an instructionaltool.

The second floor of the ShearnMoody Plaza was opened for selectedprograms in September 1981. This facilityaccommodated the following programs:mid-management, mini-course in clericaloccupations, nurse assistant, surgicaltechnology, unit clerk and vocationalnursing. In addition, photography, metalsand printmaking were taught on thiscampus.

With a generous gift from theMeadows Foundation, the Collegededicated the Eudine Meadows CheneyStudent Center in October of 1982.

In September of 1984, theCollege’s decision to move from theShearn Moody Plaza location requiredmaximum utilization of all campus facilitieswith the maiority of management andhealth care courses being located at theFort Crockett campus.

In addition, the Fort Crockettcampus facilities were expanded toaccommodate the arts, photography,metals and printmakh~g. The Fall of 1984also provided the opening of new physicaleducation facilities in the renovatedbasement of the Fort Crockett building anda newly constructed annex complete withracquetball courts, showers, weighttraining facility and exercise areas.

The Fall of 1984 marked thebeginning of the College’s new hotel/restaurant management curriculum whichreceived an overwhelming response fromthe hospitality industry in Galveston andinterested students. During the sameperiod, an expanded emphasis was put on

Adult/Continuing Education to offer amultitude of courses for communityinterests and individual development.

In the Fall of 1985 the FoodService Management/Culinary Artsprogram opened classes to complement theIsland’s growing tourism and hospitalityindustry. In the Spring of 1986 a state-of-the-art laboratory for food preparation andculinary training was opened in the MaryMoody Northen Center at the College’sMain Campus.

During its twentieth anniversarycelebration in 1987, the College enjoyed anexpansion in programs, facilities andstudent enrollment. The College’s newdegree programs of Horticulture, Fast FoodManagement, Criminal Justice andMicrocomputer Applications wereaccompanied by huge increases inCommunity Education students and courseofferings.

In March of 1990 after nearlytwo and a half years of planning andconstruction, the College held galaopening ceremonies for the new RegentsHall and rededication of the David GlennHunt Memorial Library at the MainCampus. Soon to follow in December of1990, the faculty, student services andadministration would occupy a completelyrenovated Moody Hall, the site of the oldorphanage and the College’s once meagerbeginnings.

In the course of twenty-fiveyears, the College has come full circle tobetter serve its constituents, In the earlieryears, efforts were made to establishbeginnings with strong faculty andpersonnel in comfortable surroundings,The next decade was spent developingstrong academic and vocational programsand the years towards the silveranniversary were marked by newprograms, community service andenhancement of the College campusenvironment.

PLACEMENT TESTING

Each credit course in theGalveston College catalog has beenassigned a performance level inmathematics and language skills. Studentswishing to errroll in these courses mustdemonstrate the assigned performancelevel on a required placement test. If thatperformance level is not achieved on aplacement test, the alternative is to pass anappropriate developmental course orcourses.

*Students unable todemonstrate the performance levelsrequired for individual courses will not beallowed to enroll in those courses.

PERFORMANCE LEVEL CODES

For each course in the catalog,performance levels are listed through atwo-digit code. The first digit in the codeidentifies the performance level required inmathematics. The second digit in the codeidentifies the performance level required inlanguage (reading and writing).

An explanation of eachperformance level is listed below with theplacement test score and the alternativedevelopmental course listed for each:

MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE0 = No assigned performance level inmathematics1 = ASSET mathematics (20 +) MATH 0300

GENERALLNFORMATION

EXPLANATION OF THE COURSENUMBER SYSTEM

The courses offered byGalveston College carry a four letter prefixand four-digit number (for example, ENGL1301 for a course in English and GOVT2301 for a course in Government).

In this system of coursenumbering, the first numeral indicates thelevel of the course ("0" indicatesdevelopmental level, "1" indicatesfreshman level and "2" indicatessophomore level).

The second numeral in thecourse number indicates the semester-hourcredit assigned to the course ("0" indicatesno credit value, "1" indicates one semesterhour credit, "2" indicates two semesterhours credit, "3" indicates three semesterhours credit, "4" indicates four semesterhours credit, etc.).

The third and fourth numeralsgive specific course identification and oftenindicate the sequence in which the courseshould be taken (for example, English 1301is understood to precede English 1302).

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS

A student who has completedless than 30 semester hours is classified asa freshman.

A student who has completed 30or more semester credit hours and has notreceived a degree is classified as asophomore.

NOTE: Students are classified asfreshman or first year students whenenrolled in a course with a Nursing prefixand a course number starting with one.Sophomore or the second yearclassification begins when a student enrollsin a course with a Nursing prefix and acourse number starting with two.

A student may also be classifiedas a full-time student or a part-timestudent according to the criteria listedbelow:

Full-time student:1. During the Regular Semester:

a. A student registered for twelve (12)or more semester hours is defined asa full-time student of GalvestonCollege.

b. A student registered for twelve (12)or more semester hours is defined asa full-time student by the VeteransAdministration.

c. See Financial Aid Information forrequirements for students receivingfinancial aid.

2. During the Summer Terms:a. A student registered for six (6)

more semester hours each term isdefined as a full-time student byGalveston College.

b. See Veterans Information forclassification of veterans.

a. A student registered for less thantwelve (12) semester hours defined as a part-time student byGalveston College.



2. During the Summer Terms:a. A student registered for less than six

(6) semester hours is defined as part-time student by GalvestonCollege.



COURSE LOAD

Students who are employed orwho plan to seek employment arecautioned to consider carefully the amountof college work they attempt in relation tothe number of hours they are employedeach week and to the student activities inwhich they participate. A student whooverloads in these areas is likely to havescholastic difficulties. A good rule toremember is that a minimum of two hoursof preparation outside class is necessary foreach hour of class time.

The counseling staff or astudent’s program advisor will recommenda course load for each student. It isrecommended that students enrolled inremedial courses limit their course load to12-13 hours or less.

The College reserves the right tolimit the course load carried by anystudent.

CLASS A TTENDANCE

Students are expected to attendall lectures and laboratory periods and anaccurate record of each student’s

attendance is kept by each instructor forthe duration of the course.

Any student who has missed10% of the total clock hours of instruction,not excused by the instructor, will bewithdrawn from class by the instructorwith a grade of "AWF" or "AWN" (onlyfor some developmental courses).

Students are expected to reportto class on time. At the discretion of theinstructor, tardiness may be treated thesame as an absence and the AWF/AWNpolicy may be applied.

If an AWF/AWN is processedbefore a student completes the dropprocedures, the AWF/AWN will becomethe grade of record.

The student, instructor andfinancial aid office will receive copies ofthe AWF/AWN form.

Programs with specialattendance requirements mandated bylocal, state or national accrediting orprofessional agencies will observe theagency attendance requirements whichaffect student certification, registry orlicensure, rather than those of the College.

Any such special attendancerequirements must be approved in writingby the VP and Dean of Instruction.

STUDENT ABSENCE ONRELIGIOUS HOL Y DAY

Under Texas Education Code51.911, a student who is absent fromclasses for the observance of a religiousholy day shall be allowed to take anexamination or complete an assignmentscheduled for that day within a reasonabletime as established by student andinstructor. The student must give writtennotice to the instructor, prior to theanticipated absence, of the intent to beabsent because of a religious holy day. Thewritten notice of the intent to be absentmust be made within the first fifteen classdays of the semester.

EXAMINATIONS

The preparation andadministration of examinations is theresponsibility of the instructor who teachesthe course. The number and kind ofexaminations will be determined by thenature of the specific course.

Mid-semester and finalexaminations are usually the minimumrequired of any course.

SCHOLASTIC INTEGRITY

Each student is charged withthe responsibility of maintaining scholasticintegrity. When written assignmentsrequire excerpts from material publishedby others, the student must give full creditto the author to avoid the possibility ofplagiarism.

Any student violation ofscholastic integrity for plagiarism orcheating falls properly within the realm ofstudent/faculty relations and is subject tofaculty recommendation to the collegeadministration for loss of credit for aparticular assignment, examination, or unitof work; failure in a course; or dismissalfrom the college.

By virtue of its capability to rendervisible otherwise hidden internal structuresof the human body, Radiography is a vitalpart of modern medical science and thehealing arts. Continuing discoveries in thefield make Radiography one of the mostexciting and challenging health carespecialties.

The Radiographer positions thepatient, provides for patient comfort andprotection, and selects the proper radiationexposure levels to obtain diagnostic imageswhich are then interpreted by thephysician. In the course of these normalduties, the Radiographer deals directlywith the patient, the equipment and thephysician.

Frequently, the Radiographerworks independently, exercising initiativeand judgment in obtaining the neededradiographs which have been requested bya physician. Radiographers may operate awide variety of photographic andelectronic imaging equipment andcomputers.

During this course of study,students will receive instruction in bothclassroom and clinical settings. Classes areheld at The University of Texas MedicalBranch and St. Mary’s Hospital inGalveston and a number of out-patientfacilities in the immediate medical centerarea.

Graduates of the two-yearprogram are eligible to apply to theAmerican Registry of RadiologicTechnologists for necessary testing forcertification. Upon passing the tests thegraduate is nationally certified.

DIVISION OF SOCIALSCIENCES

This division of the Collegeoffers introductory survey courses in thefields of anthropology, criminal justice,economics, geography, government,history, psychology, social work, andsociology. These offerings include thosedisciplines basic to the associate degrees:the courses in history and governmentrequired by state law for all collegegraduates, and the foundation courses formost bachelor of arts and science degrees.In addition, the division offers vocationalprograms in fire protection technology forthose seeking to advance their careers asfirefighters.

The academic courses are thecritical difference between simply beingtrained for a job and being educated forlife. It is the mark of all truly educatedmen and women that they have developeda deeper understanding of the humancondition in general and the meaning oftheir own lives in particular.

Plato, however, argued that weshould develop the body as well as themind: "The aspirant to learning must notlimp in his industry, in the one half of himloving, in the other shunning, exercise.This happens when anyone is a lover ofgymnastics and the labors of the body yetis not fond of learning or of listening orinquiring. And he too is weak whoseinterest is one-sided in the reverse way."Therefore, the Galveston College FitnessCenter emphasizes wellness, sports, andrecreational programs aimed at lifeqonglearning and those skills essential forvigorous leisure-time activities. Theseprograms include college credit courses inphysical education or kinesiology.
