8 STEPS TO TAKING CREDIT COURSES

Apply and Determine Your Enrollment StatusIf you are new to the College, are taking credit classes for the fi rst time, or are returning after an absence of three years or more (before Fall 2009), complete the Application for Admission, which can be found at reynolds.edu under the Future Students section. Students who complete the online application will receive immediate feedback from the College. If the online application is completed successfully, the new student will be issued a student ID number (Empl ID). Upon completion of the online application, students should print the application and confi rmation page for their records. It is important that you set up your My JSRCC

account immediately, using the information provided on the confi rmation page. Your College email account can be accessed through My JSRCC once the account has been activated. Important information regarding your College acceptance and other College communications will be sent to this email account.

If you are a student who has attended a VCCS college in the past, please see Step 2. It is important that you use your existing Empl ID and do not create a new one. Students may also download and complete the Application

for Admission from reynolds.edu/forms to be either mailed or faxed to the College. Once received by the College, paper applications require at least two business days to process.

Disclosure of your social security number is not required during application, but it is highly recommended. Disclosure ultimately will be required for most students at the time of enrollment, per Section 6050S of the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, or at the time of disbursement of federal fi nancial aid, per 34 Code of Federal Regulations Part 668.36. The VCCS will only use your social security number in accordance with federal and state reporting requirements and for identifi cation and research purposes within the VCCS. It shall not permit further disclosure unless required or authorized by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. Code 1232G, or pursuant to your obtained consent.

You must be admitted to the College prior to taking placement tests and as a degree-seeking student in order to be considered for fi nancial aid. You do not need to reapply if you have taken credit classes within the past three years. If you left the College on Academic Dismissal, refer to page 25 for information about getting reinstated. Whether new or returning, note that placement testing may be required (see Step 3); fi nancial aid and scholarship applications and documents must be completed by the deadlines (see Step 3); and Early-bird registration begins on July 9 (see Calendar).

Get Your Empl IDAs a new student, once your application has been processed, you will be issued a Reynolds student ID number, known as the Empl ID. You will need your Empl ID for all on-campus, web

and telephone services. If you are a returning student and need assistance with locating your Empl ID number or are unsure of your number, check My JSRCC, call the Reynolds Information Center (804-371-3000), or visit a computer lab on one of the campuses. If you have more than one Empl ID due to enrollment at another VCCS institution, and need assistance determining the correct Empl ID number to use for transactions at Reynolds, please call (804) 523-5029.

Plan Your Finances

A. TUITION AND FEES

In-State Students $135.10

per semester credit*

Out-of-State Students $327.20

per semester credit*

*Tuition and fees are accurate at the time of publication.

Included in the per semester credit hour cost are the student activity fee ($2.00), auxiliary services fee ($6.50), technology fee ($7.50) and capital fee for out-of-state students ($15.50) as set by the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Board and the State Board for Community Colleges. Current tuition rates are accessible from reynolds.edu by clicking on “Current Students” then on “Tuition Rates.”

Students are required to pay their tuition and fees in full, according to the deadlines found in the Calendar on page 3 (see STEP 6 Pay Tuition for additional information). Schedule changes or additional registrations must also be paid for in full by the deadlines. Students whose

accounts are not fully paid by each payment deadline

will be unenrolled from any and/or all courses. To ensure that the correct courses are retained, students should drop any courses that they do not wish to take. Payment may be in the form of cash, check, credit card or charge to a third-party sponsor. Financial Aid recipients, students interested in a tuition payment plan and students with an employer or third-party sponsor should refer to the appropriate section below.

See Section E for out-of-state status appeals.

B. TUITION PAYMENT PLAN

Students who are interested in a tuition payment plan can access information at reynolds.edu. Navigate to Current Students then Tuition Rates. The payment plan is administered by Nelnet Business Solutions, a private company not affi liated with the College. Participation in the payment plan can only be accomplished once registration has occurred. Access to the Nelnet e-Cashier payment plan website link is only available thru the VCCS Student Information System. From reynolds.edu, click on My JSRCC. Log into College Services and select

VCCS SIS: Student Information System. Navigate to Self Service then to Student

Center. Click on Apply Nelnet Payment

Plan link. Pop-up blockers must be turned off on your browser to access the Nelnet site. Participation in the payment plan may be

accomplished only through this website; payment plan application by mail or telephone is not available.

Active participation in the Nelnet e-Cashier payment plan for the full amount of tuition and fee charges is mandatory and entitles students to retain enrollment without loss of course registration. Anticipated fi nancial aid is not to be factored into payment plan contract balances. Students wanting to utilize additional outside third-party sponsorships must contact the Central Business Offi ce payment plan liaison at (804) 523-5186 prior to initiating a Nelnet contract so their student account balance can be reduced appropriately. Nelnet contract balances are adjusted periodically if a student’s course schedule has been altered. Be aware

that adding and dropping classes can automatically

initiate adjustment of your original Nelnet contract

balance to match the current student account balance

due. Increases to contract balances for added classes can only be made until August 24, 2012.

Students failing to meet the contract conditions for Nelnet e-Cashier, including missed or declined payments, will be dropped from any and/or all registered courses by the College. Students should read, understand and abide by all terms and conditions of the Nelnet e-Cashier payment plan agreement, as the College is not able to intervene on a student’s behalf.

Students may sign up for the payment plan for the Fall 2012 semester from July 9, 2012 through August 24, 2012. Nelnet e-Cashier applications must be completed by JSRCC payment deadlines. Students who wish to have their Nelnet contract terminated are advised to contact the College Central Business Offi ce payment plan liaison (804-523-5186) and forward email authorization to [email protected]. Financial aid funds awarded to students after a Nelnet e-Cashier payment plan is initiated will be disbursed after October 26, 2012.

C. FINANCIAL AID

In order to ensure that fi nancial aid awards are made in time for students to register for classes and pay their tuition and fees with an approved award, students should be admitted into an eligible program of study and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in suffi cient time to ensure that it is received by the Pell Processing Center no later than:

April 15, 2012 for Fall 2012 September 15, 2012 for Spring 2013

If necessary, corrections and/or verifi cation documents should be submitted promptly to a campus Student Success Center. The deadline for submitting requested documents to correct and/or verify the data on the Student Aid Reports (SARs) is ten (10) business days from the date of the Financial Aid offi ce correspondence sent to the student. A student should be prepared to pay tuition and fees if corrections are processed by the Financial Aid offi ce after June 15, 2012 for Fall 2012; November 15,

2012 for Spring 2013; April 15, 2013 for Summer 2013. Students may apply late for fi nancial aid, but there is no guarantee that award eligibility and notifi cation will be in time to assist with tuition, fees, and books for the current registration.

Students who are eligible and have been awarded fi nancial aid will receive an email listing the types and amounts of aid. Anticipated fi nancial aid will be automatically posted to student accounts, and tuition and fees will automatically be charged to each student’s fi nancial aid after the last day to drop a class with a refund. If fi nancial aid is not enough to cover all charges, the amount remaining is the responsibility of the student and is due according to the deadlines found in the Calendar. Students with web access may use My JSRCC to check on their fi nancial aid and student account. After logging into My JSRCC, students may view their fi nancial aid and student account in the Finances section of Learner Services.

D. EMPLOYER OR THIRD-PARTY SPONSOR

Students who anticipate tuition assistance from an employer or other third-party sponsor, including external scholarships, should contact the Central Business Offi ce at (804) 523-5186 prior to registration to determine documents required of the sponsor.

Once registered, students must contact a campus Business Offi ce each semester they wish to utilize their external sponsorship and have their tuition and fees charged to their participating sponsor, which includes tuition and fee charges that should be paid from the Virginia College Savings Plan program or a student’s private scholarship account currently on fi le at the College. Students whose sponsorship letters do not authorize payment for the entire cost of tuition and fees, are responsible for and must pay any and all balances prior to College payment deadlines before the sponsorship is applied against the student account.

Failure to remit payment in a timely manner may result in the removal of enrollment of any and/or all courses.

E. OUT-OF-STATE STATUS APPEALS

New applicants should verify their residency classifi cation on the Web Application Confi rmation Sheet or in their letter of admission. On occasion, applicants will be classifi ed as out-of-state due to incomplete or incorrect application responses. To inquire about a possible correction of out-of-state status, students should send an email request with their full name and Empl ID to admissions@

reynolds.edu. Students may need to submit supporting documentation or appeal for further consideration. Because this process can require several weeks, students should inquire immediately upon admission. The domicile status must be determined by the fi rst day of class. Requests for review of domicile that are received after the fi rst day of classes will be considered for subsequent semesters only.

Continuing students who have enrolled with out-of-state tuition status may request a review by submitting the residency portion of the Application for Admission to the Student Success Center. The domicile offi cer informs students of needed documentation and the appeal process, as needed. Appeal deadlines for continuing students are listed below:

Fall Status, August 1 Spring Status, December 1 Summer Status, April 1



Enroll in ClassesMy JSRCC users can register during Early-bird Registration (see Calendar) for the best selection of classes. Over half of Reynolds’ students self-register without having to come on

campus. My JSRCC registration is available to students in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or better). Students must know their Student Identifi cation Number (Empl ID). Students who do not know their ID should see Step 2 or call (804) 371-3000 for assistance.

New curricular students will learn about My JSRCC registration after completing placement tests and getting advised in an on-campus Student Success Center, or during orientation (reynolds.edu/orientation). Students who have received an approved high school transcript or GED are eligible for curricular status.

New non-curricular students may self-enroll via My JSRCC after the admission application has been processed (see Step 1). Returning curricular and non-curricular students, who are in good academic standing, are encouraged—but not required—to meet with a school advisor and may self-enroll. High school and home-school students must register through an advisor in one of the Student Success Centers.

Students who have been blocked from self-enrollment

must see an advisor. Log on to My JSRCC to see if you have any holds. Non-curricular students are advised by specialists in the Student Success Centers. Curricular students are advised by advisors in their academic school. After seeing an advisor, the self enrollment block can be removed to allow students to self-enroll.

Students must satisfy all outstanding fi nancial obligations with the College prior to enrolling. Log on to My JSRCC to see if you have any holds.

OPTION 1: MY JSRCC at reynolds.edu

Students can browse a course listing, enroll, pay tuition by credit card, view their class schedule, check on their fi nancial aid, view their holds, and access their academic records via the web using My JSRCC. Students are encouraged to enroll online and avoid long lines on campus. Go to reynolds.edu/sis. View the Web Registration tutorial to guide you through the enrollment process.

Students who no longer wish to be enrolled in particular courses should drop unwanted courses by the published drop deadline. If not dropped,

tuition refunds, where appropriate, will not be processed and fi nancial aid awards and

REFUNDS

Students must drop classes they do not wish to take by submitting an Add/Drop form to a Student Success Center, or by utilizing My JSRCC to process the drop by the published drop deadline. Refunds are processed after the last day to drop with refund and take approximately three weeks to be received. Refunds for students whose payments were made by credit or debit card via My JSRCC will be credited to the debit or credit card from which the tuition was paid. All other tuition refunds are issued to students in the form of a check from the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Users of gift credit cards processed on the web should be aware that the credit card must be retained and not terminated if a tuition refund is anticipated, as funds are automatically returned to this credit card. A student awarded fi nancial aid who drops all classes is not entitled to a refund of tuition and fees from federal or state grant aid. These funds are returned to the appropriate fi nancial aid program.

Refunds for drops for special-session courses (shorter or longer course duration and/or offered at times other than the published semester begin date) will be permitted through the fi rst 15% of the course length. Students should verify the refund deadline for such courses at a Student Success Center and ensure their mailing address on fi le with the College is accurate. Refund processing times for special session courses take approximately four weeks to be received. Students participating in the Nelnet e-Cashier payment plan will receive refunds for plan overpayments approximately 75 days after the published semester drop date.

AttendanceReynolds requires that faculty document and report student attendance. Students who register for a course and fail to attend or communicate with the instructor by the drop deadline for the course will be withdrawn from the course. Students who stop performing course-related academic activities (attending class, completing class assignments, taking tests, etc.) or communicating with the instructor for a period of 2-3 weeks before the offi cial withdrawal date for the course will be withdrawn from the course with a grade of W. Individuals who stop performing course-related academic activities after the offi cial withdrawal date for the course will receive a grade of F. It is important to note that students should not

stop attending classes and rely on the institution to

drop or withdraw them from a course. Students should go to a campus Student Success Center and complete the necessary paperwork within the designated deadline in order to ensure that their intended action be accurately refl ected on their transcript. (See Withdrawals on the following page.)

Auditing ClassesAudited classes earn no grade-point credits and carry a grade of X. Students enrolled in classes for credit may not switch to audit after the offi cial last day to add. Additionally, students who wish to change the status of a class from audit to credit must complete the request prior to the last day to add the class. Permission of the school dean or another appropriate academic administrator is required to audit a course.

Completing “Incomplete” Classes Students who receive an “I” (Incomplete) grade for a course should not register for the same course again. They must complete the course requirements with the guidance and approval of the original instructor. The instructor will submit the fi nal grade to the Admissions and Records Offi ce. Failure to complete course requirements by the end of the following semester will result in an automatic grade of F.

Course LoadStudents who wish to enroll on a full-time basis should register for at least 12 credits. Any student wishing to enroll in more than 18 credits of course work should obtain his or her advisor’s recommendation prior to seeking the approval of the school dean.

International StudentsNon-U.S. citizens seeking eligibility for in-state tuition rates must provide passports and immigration documents to the College (Student Success Centers or Admissions and Records Offi ce) when applying for admission or prior to enrolling.

After the published deadline, withdrawals result in a grade of F. Withdrawal transactions are fi nal and will not be rescinded or modifi ed unless there is an administrative error by the College.

Academic RenewalStudents who return or have returned to Reynolds after a separation of at least fi ve years (60 consecutive months) may be eligible to petition for academic renewal. If academic renewal is granted, in most cases D’s and F’s earned prior to separation will not be computed in the student’s GPA. To be eligible to petition, a student must have earned a D or F prior to the separation, have completed 12 semester hours with a 2.5 grade point average after their return, have been enrolled in at least one semester since Spring 1994, and have not earned a degree, certifi cate, or career studies certifi cate using any of the affected D grades. Students may visit a Student Success Center or call Admissions and Records at (804) 523-5029 for further details or to obtain a petition for academic renewal.

Cancelled/Changed ClassesEach class is offered on the condition of adequate enrollment, and the College reserves the right to cancel or discontinue any course because of low enrollment or for other reasons the College deems necessary. The College also reserves the right to make the necessary changes in this schedule that may be dictated by enrollment, personnel requirements, or availability of facilities. Refunds are generally processed after the last day to drop deadline(s).

The College’s Downtown Campus is located in

Richmond’s historic Jackson Ward.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL AID

Warning to Financial Aid Students Who WithdrawalStudents receiving federal fi nancial aid who withdraw from all courses before attending more than 60% of a given semester, or who do not complete the entire semester, will owe a portion of their fi nancial aid back to the federal government and incur a liability with the College for any tuition and/or book expenses that no longer are payable with federal fi nancial aid monies.

Satisfactory Academic ProgressStudents must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to receive fi nancial aid. Satisfactory academic progress means successfully fi nishing your program of study within an acceptable timeframe.

SOME SAP FACTS

• F=U=W=I=R Grades of F, U, W, I or R negatively impact your SAP equally. • Time does not repair poor performance. Classes taken 5, 10, 15, or 20 years ago can affect your SAP today. • SAP standards are tougher than the College Academic Standing requirements. • Academic Renewal does not automatically reinstate your eligibility.

How to Keep Your Financial AidTo keep eligibility for loans, grants and work-study, students should: • Successfully complete classes, avoid excessively withdrawing from classes and receiving grades of F, U, or I (a D is better than a W). • Submit the FAFSA each year by April 15. • Submit requested documents in a timely manner.

Satisfactory Academic Progress StandardsA student must successfully complete two-thirds (67%) of all the credit and developmental hours they attempt. Completion rates will be assessed at the end of a student’s fi rst semester. Successful completion means a grade of A, B, C, D, S, or P. Grades of F, U, W, I, R and missing grades represent hours not completed. Federal law requires the College to count all credits attempted at the College.

Maximum Time FrameThe U.S. Department of Education expects students to complete their plan requirements within 150% of the published length of that plan in credit hours.

Developmental/ESL hours do not count in this total. For example, a student in the Accounting AAS plan (length 66 credit hours) will lose his/her eligibility after 99 attempted credit hours if he/she has not fi nished the plan. Students can calculate their own 150% rate by fi nding the total credits in their plan from the catalog.Total Plan Credits_________ x 1.5 = _________Note: Transfer credits are included in the 150% calculation.

Grade Point AverageStudents must meet the following cumulative grade point standards to be eligible for aid: ATTEMPTED CREDIT HOURS MINIMUM GPA

1–15 1.50 16–30 1.75 31+ 2.0

The standards in the table above are absolute minimums. Students should always strive to do much better than the minimum.

If You Do Not Meet the StandardsThe Financial Aid offi ce checks each student’s eligibility at the end of each semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer) and cancels future aid for students who do not meet the satisfactory academic progress standards. The Financial Aid offi ce will notify students of their status by placing a message on My JSRCC and by sending emails to a student’s VCCS email address.

AppealsStudents with mitigating circumstances (personal illness, death of immediate family member, etc.) that occurred during the problem semester(s) may go to a campus Student Success Center to obtain a “Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal” form or download the form from the fi nancial aid website at reynolds.edu/studentaffairs/

faid.htm. Completed forms should have copies of documents that confi rm the mitigating circumstances and should be returned to the Student Success Center by the deadline on the form. Please note that students are only allowed two SAP appeal approvals at Reynolds. Students should work closely with their academic advisor and choose their courses wisely. Students who are uncertain about their SAP status should consult a fi nancial aid specialist in a Student Success Center.

Additional InformationAdditional fi nancial aid information can be found at reynolds.edu/studentaffairs/faid.htm.

The Center for Distance Learning provides the option to take courses in a variety of settings and through alternative delivery methods that allow access to instruction from the home, offi ce, off-campus sites throughout the state, and a desktop or laptop computer wherever there is Internet access. These options are designed to increase access to educational opportunities for students who have work schedules, family responsibilities or other demands that make it diffi cult to attend traditional on-campus classes. Distance Learning offers an opportunity to prepare for career advancement, transfer to a four-year college or university, job re-certifi cations, to complete the requirements for an associate degree or to study for personal enrichment.

Reynolds now offers three kinds of Distance Learning courses:

1. Online courses: All course work and interactions with the instructor and classmates are completed online. The course is accessed through Blackboard.

2. Distance Learning courses with in-person or

proctor requirement: Most of the instruction is online; however, students will be required to make a limited number of trips to campus for labs, presentations and other class activities or to a community site for clinicals or internships. Some courses may require proctored testing that can be done at Reynolds Testing Centers, testing sites at other VCCS colleges or any approved site outside of the state of Virginia.

3. Teleconferencing / video-conferencing courses:

Students meet on-site at one of the Reynolds campuses, at another VCCS college or at a connected

off-campus site. Class meetings are scheduled weekly, just like on-campus classes. The instructor is connected to the class by a closed video network. Students see the instructor and students at other sites on television monitors in the classroom. Some instruction and communications will be in Blackboard or via the Internet.

Students should carefully read section notes before registering for a Distance Learning course. The course schedule section notes will indicate the specific kind of Distance Learning course for that section. Visit reynolds.edu for registration information and procedures.
