Assessment and Advising Procedures
All new students who are degree or certification-seeking or those enrolling in any general education courses are mandated to assess. COMPASS (ACT, Inc. product) is the institution’s primary assessment. COMPASS results determine whether a student needs remedial course work in reading, math or English and indicates appropriate courses for enrollment. Currently COMPASS/ASSET/ACT scores are valid for 2 years for reading and English placement and are valid for one year for math placement. The COMPASS assessment is offered free-of-charge several times per week throughout the fall and spring semesters (Mon/Thur at 5:00 p.m. and Tues/Fri at 8:30 a.m.). Although the assessment is untimed, most students take between 1 and 1-1/2 hours to complete it. No reservations are required. Students must, however, sign-in and present a photo ID prior to beginning any placement assessment or test.
In addition, some technical programs require additional testing prior to program admission.
Following assessment, students with declared majors are assigned to appropriate faculty. General education/liberal arts, deciding majors and students with special needs are assigned to staff and faculty with specialized knowledge (see Majors and Assigned Advisors table in this section).
Placement Table
On the following page is the institution’s placement guide. Please note, special conditions exist for students applying for admission who do not hold a high school diploma from an accredited US high school or do not have a GED from the US. These students must meet minimum placement assessment scores (certain ACT/ASSET/COMPASS subscores accepted).

Developmental Placement and Advising
Developmental/essential skills courses are designed for native English speakers who have not mastered college-level basic skills. GCCC offers essential skills courses in English, reading and mathematics.
Why Should I Take a Developmental Class? (Talking Points for Advisors)
1. You are making your future academic life easier by improving your reading, writing and/or math skills now. You are also restricted from taking English I if your placement results include Reading Improvement and/or Basic English/Intermediate English. College reading can be taken prior to or concurrently with English I. Progression to the next level of math or English requires achievement of a minimum final grade of “C.”
2. Depending upon courses taken, you will gain proficiency in the following areas:
College courses utilize textbooks written at the high school level or above; you will learn strategies for textbook reading (i.e.: recognize main ideas, supporting details, increasing your vocabulary.) FYI: Reading Improvement students work on vocabulary, reading comprehension and
some time on developing speed. Students learn Greek and Latin word parts to build vocabulary and also practice finding topic and main idea.
College Reading students focus on how to read a college textbook and how to
gleam vital information from it quickly. Students learn how to organize that information and how to read visual aids while continuing to develop vocabulary, comprehension and speed. Students will exit the class having practiced higher-order thinking and reading efficiency skills.
You will study and expand your vocabulary and learn strategies to compensate for unknown vocabulary.
You will learn note-taking skills and how to create outlines and graphic organizers.
You will improve your study and organizational skills.
You will learn time management skills.
You will learn how to prepare for tests and test-taking techniques.
You will learn grammar that is necessary to express meaning.
You will practice formal academic writing and learn to organize and express your ideas clearly.
You will learn to summarize what you have heard and read.
4
3. You can also speak with former/current developmental students to find out how the classes have benefited them.
4. Most classes are limited to 20 or fewer students so you will have the opportunity to receive individual assistance from your instructor.
Additional Tips
Below is a suggested framework for creating an independent developmental student schedule: Sample Schedule for a Full-Time Developmental Student Credits Basic English 3 College Reading 3 Math 3 Keyboarding/Computer Applications 3 Fine Arts 3 College Skills Development 1 HPER 1 1. Take any required reading and writing courses concurrently. Greater gains are realized in
both areas if reading and writing are paired together. Writing skills are also enhanced with enrollment in a grammar course.
2. Make certain the student has adequate computer skills.
ESL Placement and Advising
English is the language of instruction at GCCC and other institutions of higher education. Therefore, students whose first language is not English may need to take ESL courses to reach a level of proficiency that will allow them to succeed at the post-secondary level. Self-identified ESL students are directed to take the Michigan Placement Test and complete a 30-minute writing sample. If a student does not achieve English I placement on the COMPASS and is a non-native speaker of English, he/she is also required to take the Michigan Placement Test. This score is valid for 90 days. Most lower-level ESL students will be advised initially by Jeanie Ferguson. As students are phased out of ESL courses, Jeanie will provide students with suggested courses to enroll in for each subsequent semester. This information is forwarded to assigned advisors and advisors can also expect their advisees to provide them with this information. All advisors, however, need to understand GCCC’s ESL program as any advisor could serve as the initial advisor for high-placing ESL students.
Why Should I Take an ESL Class? (Talking Points for Advisors)
1. Your test score indicates that you need additional work in English before attempting college classes. You won’t be able to enroll in other English classes before taking these prerequisites.
5
2. By improving your English and preparing yourself to do academic work now, you are making your future academic life easier.
3. You will earn college credit for ESL classes that you can apply toward graduation. 4. Depending upon courses taken, you will gain proficiency in the following areas:
You will improve your pronunciation of difficult sounds, intonation patterns and increase your fluency. You will learn listening strategies to help you understand lectures and everyday speech. You will practice public speaking and group discussion techniques.
You will learn to read college-level texts from different disciplines, recognize main ideas, supporting details and increase your vocabulary.
You will learn grammar that is necessary to express meaning.
You will practice formal academic writing and learn to organize and express your ideas clearly.
You will learn to summarize what you have heard and read.
You will learn academic vocabulary words and strategies to compensate for unknown vocabulary.
You will learn to use a computer to write papers, send email, and utilize the internet as well as access ESL software programs for grammar, listening and pronunciation.
5. Your can speak with former/current ESL students to find out how the classes have benefited
them. 6. Most ESL courses are limited to 12-15 students so you will have the opportunity to receive
individual assistance from your instructor.

Sample Schedule for a Full-Time ESL Student Credits LANG 221 Intermediate Speaking and Listening in ESL 3 LANG 222 Intermediate Writing in ESL 3 LANG 223 Intermediate Grammar in ESL 3 Keyboarding/Computer Applications 3 Math 3 OR Athletics/Fine Arts Electives 1-3
1. Encourage the student to take ESL classes concurrently. What is studied is reinforced
throughout the ESL sequence of courses. Most students take ESL classes concurrently; those who don’t wish they had.
6
2. Greater gains in language acquisition are realized if reading is paired with writing. Writing skills are also enhanced if grammar courses are taken concurrently with ESL writing courses. ESL students will also find the reading class challenging; it may not be a good choice for the student’s first semester nor should the class be taken alone.
3. ESL courses are time consuming. At the intermediate, high-intermediate and advanced levels of the sequence, students have at least 6 hours of class and 1-2 hours of computer lab work each week in addition to regular homework assignments. Don’t overload the student! Allow your advisee time to learn the language first.
4. ESL students need to complete the entire ESL sequence and/or Basic English prior to taking
any class with extensive writing assignments. 5. ESL students may place anywhere in the math sequence. 6. Make sure the student has good computer skills before taking college classes. 7. ESL students may lack language skills, but they are not remedial students.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)/Spanish Language Exam
Many bilingual (Spanish/English) students take the CLEP Spanish Language exam to earn college credit. The majority of students who take the exam earn 10 credit hours from GCCC. After completion of 12 GCCC credits, the CLEP credit hours are applied to the student’s GCCC transcript. (Contact the Assessment Center for further information at 276-9654 and to arrange to take the computer-based test.)
EduKan
EduKan is an internet-based community college. In cooperation with five other Kansas community colleges, GCCC offers students the opportunity to earn a portion or all of their associated degree through online courses. Enrollment for EduKan classes is handled by the student at www.EduKan.org. Available courses vary; a current listing is published each semester in the Course Schedule and at the EduKan and GCCC websites. There are usually three sessions with different start/end dates each semester. As an advisor, recommend the following to prospective EduKan students: 1. Complete the online quiz to determine if you are a good candidate for the format (look on
homepage below FAQ link “Is online learning for me?”) 2. Preview the course syllabus. Can you reasonably plan to meet course expectations within
the scheduled timeframe? 3. Admission and enrollment is a separate process. A first-time EduKan student is a “new
student” (complete admissions form) for enrollment purposes even though you may already be taking GCCC on-campus courses.
7
4. Enroll now. Classes can fill early (meet capacity) and all enrollment is closed the Friday preceding the start of each session.
5. EduKan enrollments must be paid in full prior to the first day of class. If your financial aid
has been awarded, it can be applied toward your EduKan bill. 6. After enrolling, check Busterweb or request a printed copy of your GCCC enrollment from
the Registrar’s office to confirm successful enrollment in your EduKan class(es). 7. All EduKan testing must be proctored. You can make arrangements for a proctor by
contacting the campus Assessment Center at 276-9654.

Guidelines for Athletic Satisfactory Progress 1. Students need to enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours and attend classes throughout the
entire semester. Student athletes may use any combination of sessions within a term to be considered fulltime so long as the classes begin before their sport ends. For example, a football player is enrolled in 9 hours that start August and 3 hours that start during the three-week session in October. This student would be considered fulltime because he is enrolled in a total of 12 hours that begin before the football season ends.
2. Before withdrawing from any course, work with the athlete to determine the impact
withdrawal will have on eligibility. Athletes must maintain 12 hours during season. Athletes must confer and receive a signature from their coach and advisor prior to withdrawing from a course.
3. Athletes must pass a minimum of 24 hours of credit each academic year with a 2.0
cumulative GPA, or an average of 12 credit hours per fulltime term of attendance. Athletes must pass 12 hours with a 1.75 GPA their first semester and 12 hour with a 2.0 GPA in subsequent terms thereafter.
4. Summer courses may be used to count towards the total hours of completion need for
eligibility. 5. Zero-numbered courses (developmental) can be counted for eligibility. Student athletes
who earn an A, B, or C in a remedial/developmental course cannot repeat that course and have it count toward eligibility. Student athletes cannot take a remedial/developmental course which is lower that a prerequisite to the one they have successfully passed and have it count toward eligibility.
6. A course that a student has already received credit for will not count toward the 24-credit
hours. The advisor must review the student’s records to make sure that he/she has not taken the class before. If the student did not pass the class, then the course can be retaken for hours.
7. When advising student athletes, please consider the semester their sport competes. For
example, football is a fall sport and if there is a choice of semesters for a more difficult class, it may be wise to enroll in the more challenging course during the spring semester. This in not always feasible, but it could help in some cases. Also, if students want to repeat a class to improve their GPA, they must understand that they will not receive any additional hours for the repeated course.

Credit by Examination & Other Non-Traditional Sources of College Credit
GCCC recognizes several alternative sources of college credit including Advanced Placement (AP), Departmental Challenge, Military Credits and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). Advisors should caution students that non-traditional sources of credit are often reevaluated by the student’s next college or university. In addition, some professional schools do not accept credit by examination hours to fulfill entrance requirements. For a GCCC degree, a maximum of 30 credit hours may be accepted from these sources. A minimum of 16 semester hours of credit must be completed at GCCC in order to graduate from GCCC. Students cannot receive credit by examination to repeat or to replace a previously earned course grade listed on the transcript, nor may they receive credit for a lower-level course than one previously enrolled and shown on the transcript.
AP (Advanced Placement)
Credit will be granted for students presenting scores of 3, 4 or 5 on the College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Tests (CEEB-AP). A grade of “CR” will be placed on the student’s transcript for scores of 3 and 4; scores of 5 will receive a grade “A.”
Departmental Challenge
In courses where a comprehensive examination is available, credit may be granted if a satisfactory level of achievement is demonstrated (with competencies of at least a C grade). The fee to place the credit on the transcript is equal to the current per credit tuition charges. If a comparable CLEP exam exists, however, Departmental Challenge is not allowed.
Military Credits
Students who have previously served in any branch of the U.S. Military Services may receive credit for their military training, education and experience. All military evaluations are based on the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations. In no case will credit be granted for non-existing GCCC-equivalent courses. Students desiring credit should submit a military transcript (such as ARTS, SMART) to the Registrar. If no transcript is available, the student may submit a DD214.
CLEP (College-Level Examination Program)
CLEP is a series of computerized examinations that gives students an opportunity to demonstrate prior learning and earn credit for knowledge, regardless of where they learned it.
CLEP examinations are approximately 90 minutes long. Most test questions are multiple-choice. All exams are scored on a scale of 20 to 80. GCCC follows the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations by granting credit for scores of 50 and above.
Scheduling a CLEP Exam
Students can visit the Assessment Office in the GCCC Saffell Library or call Rafaela Arana at (620) 276-9654 to register for an examination.
Individual subject study guides can be downloaded from the CLEP web site for a nominal fee.

Cost & Special Policies
Cost per exam is $80. The administration fee is $15. The exam fee can be in form of a check or money order made to CLEP. Credit cards are also accepted. The $15 administration fee may be paid in cash or by check or money order made to GCCC. A current photo ID must also be presented prior to testing. A grade of “CR” for CLEP credit will be entered on the transcript after the student successfully completes 12 hours of Garden City Community College credit. Students are also charged tuition equivalent to hours awarded.

Enrollment/Credit Hours
Sixteen hours of college credit is considered a standard semester load. Students may discuss with their advisors and the appropriate dean their desire to carry more than 18 hours a semester. Permission to enroll in more than 18 hours per semester may be granted by the appropriate dean (signature on Enrollment or Change of Schedule form). An average course load for the combined summer sessions is suggested to be 12 hours or less.
Schedule Changes Students may make modifications to their schedules (add/drop classes) according to specified deadlines and procedures. All deadlines are published each semester in the “Course Schedule” and annually in the “GCCC Handbook and Calendar.” Students wishing to add or drop a class during the first five days of each semester may do so with their advisor’s signature only. The student must secure a “Change of Schedule” form from the Registrar’s Office or their advisor, obtain the advisor’s signature, and return the completed and signed form to the Registrar’s Office for processing.
After the fifth day of the semester, in addition to the advisor’s signature, students must also obtain a signature from the instructor(s) involved before returning the completed and signed form to the Registrar’s Office. In addition, after the published 20th day of classes for a given term (or 25% of class meetings for non-standard classes), the signature of the Dean of Academics is required before the Registrar’s Office will process the form. Specified dates for classes with non-standard start/end dates are published in the references noted above. In addition, if the student is receiving a scholarship from any GCCC organization or team and/or is receiving financial aid and the schedule change results in the student’s enrollment dropping below 12 credit hours, the student must also obtain a signature of approval from the coach, organization sponsor and/or Financial Aid office before turning the form into the Registrar’s Office.
Gradebook Codes Faculty members have access to the following codes to categorize student attendance (excused and unexcused) and other situations impacting academic success: AB Absent ATH Absent for athletic event CC Class cancelled REA Referred student and student was absent of the day of referral REP Referred student but student was present in class the day of referral GCC Absent for a GCCC sponsored event or trip W/D You are knowledgeable of the fact that the student has withdrawn
from your class
22
TER Student is unable to make up work from class and has too many absences to catch up and pass the class TRD Student was tardy to class PER Personal absence or excused absence from class (i.e., sick, death in
family) COR Enter this code if you need to correct a previously entered code Weekly codes AB, REA, REP and TER are downloaded by counseling staff for follow up. Students with these codes will be contacted to determine potential for remediation. As an advisor, you will receive notification of any advisees experiencing attendance/academic difficulties. It is recommended that advisors monitor these students closely.
Transfer & Articulation Agreement
The articulation agreement between Kansas Regents Institutions and Kansas community colleges is designed to facilitate the transition of associate degree graduates to baccalaureate degree programs. Students who have received an Associate of Arts or Associate in Science and have followed the Regents 45-hour general education will not have to fulfill additional general education requirements unless a specific course is required for the student’s degree (e.g., Macroeconomics for a business major). General education hours totaling less than 45 will be accepted, but the transfer student must complete the remainder of this requirement before graduation from the receiving institution, which may require additional semester(s).
1. Twelve (12) hours Basic Skills English Composition 6 hours Speech Communication 3 hours College-level Mathematics (College Algebra or higher) 3 hours
2. Twelve (12) hours Humanities courses from at least three of the following disciplines (*performance/studio courses excluded):
Art* Music* Theatre* History Philosophy Literature
3. Twelve (12) hours Social and Behavioral Sciences courses from at least three of the following disciplines:
Sociology Political Science Geography Psychology Economics Anthropology
4. Nine (9) hours Natural and Physical Science courses from at least two disciplines (lecture with lab)
Transfer Course Equivalencies To determine how individual courses will transfer to Regents schools in Kansas, check under “Counseling” and “Transfer Institutions” on the GCCC website. Active links are maintained here for each institution.
23
Changing Major/Advisor
Students wishing to change major/program and/or advisor must secure the appropriate form from the Registrar’s Office and return it with previous and new advisor signatures and, if changing, new major/program noted. Students needing assistance with this type of transition should be directed to the counseling staff for assistance.
Academic Renewal Students can petition for academic renewal on one semester’s course work completed at least five years prior to current enrollment. This allows a new start without the handicap of the prior semester’s academic record. Key points are listed below; a complete description of the process is in the “GCCC Academic Catalog:”
1. Course work five or more years old; no classes from that semester count.
2. Minimum 12 credit hours completed within previous two years with at least a 2.0 GPA at the time of petition.
3. Petition will not be considered if a degree has been earned subsequent to the semester
in question.
4. Semester’s course work continues to appear on transcript but grades earned in the renewal semester are not calculated into student’s GCCC cumulative GPA.
5. This policy refers to GCCC only. A student transferring from or to another institution will
have to follow the other institution’s policy.
6. Granting of Academic Renewal does not affect or alter a student’s record for financial aid awards or for athletic eligibility.
Withdrawing from GCCC
Students who find it necessary to withdraw from all classes for the remainder of the semester must meet with a counselor in the SCSC Building. Completing this process helps the student avoid future holds on records by returning materials and clearing up discrepancies. Instructors cannot withdraw a student who has stopped attending. Students who do not process a ”Complete Withdraw” will receive “F” for those classes still enrolled, and that grade will be entered on the transcript. Students receiving any type of financial aid must also complete an exit interview with a financial aid staff member.
Applying for Graduation
Students currently are required to submit a completed “Degree Check Sheet” and an “Application for Graduation.” The latter identifies the catalog the student is graduating under, the degree to be earned, current address information, any transfer institution planned, and intent
24
to participate (or not) in graduation ceremonies. Cap and gown are provided by the institution for graduating students for use that day. Application deadlines are as follows for each semester:
Fall completion September 1st
Spring completion December 1st
Summer completion February 1st
Degree Requirements & Degree Check Sheets Following are the current degree check sheets for each degree conferred by the institution.
