ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS Cottey College offers three Associate Degrees:

Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Arts-Music (A.A.M.) Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) with emphasis in Art, Dance, or Theatre Associate in Science (A.S.).

Associate Degree Programs are focused on the first two years of a liberal arts education and are designed to prepare students to continue to the baccalaureate level and beyond. After two years of concentrated study and work with dedicated faculty, Cot-tey associate degree graduates may transfer to institutions across the country or remain at Cottey to complete a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in one of eight majors. While Cottey Associate Degree students commence their undergraduate careers at Cottey, they and the entire Cottey commu-nity proceed with the expectation that Associate Degree seeking students will accomplish their ultimate undergraduate goals at Cottey or at other baccalaureate institutions. A Cottey education includes the development of student abilities and identification of strengths, values, goals, and areas of interest. Students who opt to transfer to another college may receive assistance in the selection of transfer institutions. Each year approximately 95 percent of Cottey graduates continue their education by remain-ing at Cottey or transferring to a wide variety of institutions. Regardless of their choice, Cottey Associate Degree graduates report that they are extremely well prepared to declare a major and to excel academically.

ASSOCIATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

To receive an Associates degree, students must do the following: (1) Fulfill the graduation requirements as set forth in the catalog which is in effect when the student enters the College.

STEPS TO HELP YOU COMPLETE YOUR PROPOSED FALL SCHEDULE Step 1: Read all information carefully. Determine which of the options you wish to pursue. Step 2: Consider which of the graduation requirements you will take your first semester. Although you

may desire to fulfill as many of the graduation requirements as you can during your first semes-ter, it is advisable to include courses for enjoyment and exploration as well. An effective aca-demic program is one that provides a balance, that maintains your interest and that offers you the opportunity to grow.

Step 3: Before you schedule a course, check the Cottey College Catalog to determine if that course has

prerequisites and/or co-requisites. Step 4: Examine the Class Schedule and "try out" courses, seeking the "best fit" for you. A Tentative

Schedule form is included on page 40. (Suggestion: Enter those courses which are offered only once; then add courses which are offered more than once in the fall schedule.) Remember to check for time conflicts.

Step 5: Use the "Mathematics Placement Information" to determine in which mathematics course you

should enroll. Note: MAT103 College Algebra or higher is required for all associate degrees; and MAT112 Elementary Statistics is required for all bachelor degrees. (Some B.A. Majors re-quire MAT112.)

Step 6: Use the Science Placement Information to determine in which course you should enroll. Step 7: Total your credit hours. You must be enrolled in at least 12 hours each semester to be a full-time

student. First-year students will be limited to no more than 18 hours per semester. Generally 15 to 16 hours should be the maximum enrollment for most first-semester freshmen. (See also Credits/Credit Load.) Eligibility for membership in Phi Theta Kappa, the junior college national honorary, includes the requirement that a student complete no fewer than 15 hours each semes-ter.

Step 8: SCHEDULE CHANGES; ADD/DROP POLICY:

You may make changes in your schedules by using the add/drop forms as follows: Until the day before classes start (requires signatures of advisor and student) First day of class until deadline (requires signature of advisor, instructor and student) You may add courses only through the first six days of instruction. (Aug. 22 - Aug. 29) You may drop courses through the tenth day without a fee. (Aug. 22 - Sept. 5) You may only drop courses through the twelfth week of classes (Sept. 6 - Nov. 15). After paying the $15 fee in the Business Office, a grade of W will be posted.

Step 9: Meet with your assigned advisor at your assigned appointment to register for classes.

ENGLISH PLACEMENT INFORMATION

A student who wishes to transfer English Composition courses must meet the following guidelines.

a. All incoming Cottey students are required to take FWS 101 First-Year Writing Seminar their first fall semester at Cottey (this class is offered only in the fall semester). This Cottey-specific first-year writing course focuses on more than writing skills; it also introduces students to the guiding themes of the College as well as the importance of a liberal arts and women’s-only education. This requirement cannot be fulfilled with transfer credit. Students who do not receive a passing grade in FWS 101 may take the course in the subsequent fall semester.

b. Students may transfer an entry-level writing course (i.e., Freshman Composition, First-Year Writing, English Composition I, English 101, etc.) as elective credit.

c. Students may receive transfer credit for WRI 102 College Writing if the student can document that the course was completed after completion of the high school diploma, or that the class was taken on a college campus. If the class was taken on a college campus, it also requires an official letter from the college or university confirming that the course was taught on its campus. If the course does not meet these requirements, students may appeal for the transfer of these credits (see next point).

d. To appeal for the transfer of WRI 102 College Writing, a student should complete a petition form from the Academic Records office and submit a portfolio that includes the course syllabus, all graded writing assignment, and a letter to the Writing Pro-gram Director, explaining how the course meets the WRI 102 requirements at Cottey. Students are encouraged to speak with the Writing Program Director prior to completing their petition. The petition should be submitted to the Office of Academic Records by October 1 of the semester in which the student transfers into Cottey. The petition and any attachments will be forwarded to the Writing faculty for evaluation.

MATHEMATICS PLACEMENT INFORMATION

Many students are not certain which math course to take because they are unsure of their backgrounds and abilities. Cottey uses a combination of SAT/ACT math scores and high school math background to determine math placement and to guide students and their academic advisors in the final selection of mathematics courses.

If you wish to include a math course in your first semester proposed schedule, the following "rule-of-thumb" placement will help you determine the appropriate courses:

The math requirement for an Associate degree is MAT103 College Algebra or higher

Mathematics Requirement - Associate Degree *Years of high school math SAT Math or ACT Math Placement 4 or more > 555 > 26 Calculus I 3 > 619 > 29 Calculus I 3 or more > 439 > 19 College Algebra 2 or fewer < 440 < 20 Intermediate Algebra

NOTE: High school courses which are college preparatory include Algebra I or Algebra 1-2, Geometry, Algebra II or Alge-bra 3-4, Analytic Geometry, Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra, Analysis, Pre-Calculus, College Prep Math and Cal-culus.

High school courses which are NOT college preparatory include Pre-Algebra, General Math, Consumer Math, Business Math and Computer Math.

* Count only the number of years of college preparatory courses you have passed.

Mathematics Requirement - Bachelor Degree

Not having met the College Algebra prerequisite for Statistics requires the student to successfully complete MAT 103 College Algebra with a grade of C or better. The math requirement for graduation with a B.A. degree requires MAT 112 Elementary Sta-tistics or higher. This only fulfills general education requirements. Some majors may require MAT 112 Elementary Statistics to complete the major. Please check individual majors to see if Statistics is required.

HS school math SAT Math or ACT Math Placement 4 or more years > 540 > 23 Statistics

including 2 yrs of Algebra w/ B’s or higher

Students may substitute PHI 112: Introduction to Logic for Statistics if College Algebra has been taken at the college level and passed with a grade of B or better. This only fulfills general education requirements. Some majors may require MAT112 Elemen-tary Statistics to complete the major.

36

SCIENCE PLACEMENT INFORMATION Students come to Cottey with a variety of high school preparation in science and mathematics. Below is a guide to aid students in selecting the appropriate course for their level of prepartion. The following are basic guidelines for entrance into CHE 210 (General Chemistry 1). Students should have had a strong preparation in science and mathematics in high school, including: SAT Math>480 or ACT Math>22 and ACT SR>22 1 year of chemistry with laboratory, with grade of B or higher 1 year of other laboratory science, with grade of B or higher 2 years of math -2 years algebra or -1 year algebra and 1 year trigonometry or -1 year algebra and pre-calculus or calculus The following are basic guidelines for entrance into BIO 107 (Principles of Biology).

ADVISEMENT It is your responsibility to fulfill the graduation requirements of the degree that you select. However, you will be as-signed an academic advisor who will help you make progress toward graduation requirements and your educational goals. Cottey College expects you to see your academic advisor each time you: register add/drop petition/appeal academic policy need advice regarding your educational goals Questions can also be directed to the academic assistance coordinator and the registrar. Avoid academic advisement from other students - Even veteran academic advisors find it necessary to continually verify and update their knowledge of academic policies and requirements. No student has a comparable base of infor-mation.

REGISTRATION AND CHANGES IN REGISTRATION Students register on campus for the next semester during academic advising periods scheduled by the registrar. After developing a plan of study with her academic advisor, a student must finalize her course schedule by submitting a signed copy of her registration to the Office of Academic Records. After the official registration period, a student may add or drop courses. The registrar publishes class schedules, aca-demic advising and registration periods, and add and drop dates. A student may add courses during the first six days of instruction if facilities, equipment, and enrollment permit. Both the academic advisor’s signature and the course instructor’s consent are required. Students may appeal a denial of con-sent to the division chair and the vice president for academic affairs. After the sixth day of instruction, a student may not add a course unless her academic advisor agrees, the instructor consents, and the vice president for academic affairs approves. A student may drop courses during the first ten days of instruction without penalties or charges. These courses do not appear on the transcript. The eleventh day of instruction through the twelfth week of instruction, a student withdrawing from a course must pay a $15 per course withdrawal fee. A grade of W will be recorded on her transcript. Permission to withdraw from a course after the twelfth week of a semester is possible only in extenuating circumstances by special permission of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

CREDITS/CREDIT LOAD One semester credit traditionally requires one hour of in-class time and at least two hours of out-of-class time per week. Laboratory and other activity-type classes require two or three hours of class time per credit. As an example: A 15-hour credit load will normally require an average time commitment of 45 hours per week (15 hours per

week in class and 30 hours more outside of class). A 15-hour credit load is the equivalent of a full-time job!

In order to complete graduation requirements in either four semesters, or eight semesters you should enroll in an aver-age of 16 credits each semester. In order to enroll in more than 18 credits per semester, you must have completed one semester at Cottey, you must not be on academic probation and you must obtain the approval of your academic advisor.

39

TRANSFER CREDITS Transfer students are welcome at Cottey College, and the College will make every effort to see that all transferable credit is accepted. Final determination of transfer credits to be accepted is made by the registrar, subject to approval by the vice presi-dent for academic affairs in consultation with the appropriate faculty. Transfer work from other institutions will not be officially credited to the Cottey College record until the student has enrolled at Cottey College. Official transcripts must be received direct-ly from all colleges and universities attended. Credits may be accepted for transfer if these criteria are met: 1) The institution at which the credits were earned is accredited by a regional accrediting association. 2) Credit hours taken at another institution may be transferred to Cottey only if the grade earned is a C or above. Courses from

another institution in which a grade of “C-” or lower was earned are not acceptable for transfer credit. 3) Credits earned while enrolled in high school (dual enrollment) may be accepted in transfer and may be used for fulfilling de-

gree requirements. Credit is transferred on a course-by-course basis, when the subject matter applies to Cottey’s degree programs. In some cases courses with subjects that do not match the curriculum for the degree may be transferred as elective credit. Transfer credits accepted by Cottey College are not calculated in the student’s Cottey College grade point average (GPA). Cottey College awards credits in semester credit hours. Quarter hours will be converted into semester credit hours at the rate of two-thirds of a semester credit hour per quarter hour.

GRADE REPORTS

In lieu of a grade report, an unofficial transcript is sent each semester to the student.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

A student’s GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of attempted credit hours into the total grade points received. The following table explains the assignment of grade points per credit hour: A 4.00 grade points C 2.00 grade points A- 3.70 grade points C- 1.70 grade points B+ 3.30 grade points D+ 1.30 grade points B 3.00 grade points D 1.00 grade points B- 2.70 grade points D- 0.70 grade points C+ 2.30 grade points F 0.00 grade points The following do not calculate in the grade point average P Pass 0 grade points AU Audit 0 grade points I Incomplete 0 grade points W Withdrawal without penalty 0 grade points WIP Work in progress, no grade

INCOMPLETE

A student, who has done satisfactory work for at least 12 weeks but because of illness or other circum-stances beyond her control is unable to complete all course requirements, may request a grade of In-complete. The instructor, not the student, makes the decision to grant an Incomplete. Incompletes must be completed by the end of the subsequent semester and summer or the grade will be changed to F.

40

SATISFACTORY PROGRESS AND GOOD STANDING

Each student is expected to make satisfactory progress toward their degree. To be in good academic standing, a student must have at least a 2.00 cumulative GPA. Satisfactory aca-demic progress requires the completion of at least 12 credit hours per semester for full-time students, with a progressive minimum cumulative GPA and a progressive minimum earned credit hours that would not subject her to academic dismissal. (See Student Financial Aid section of the catalog for standards of progress for students with federal financial aid.)

THE UNDECLARED STUDENT

It is common for a student to enter college without having a career goal and/or an academic major. For some students, it is better to leave the options open and to have a period to ex-plore rather than to arbitrarily decide upon a course of study without any knowledge or experi-ence in the disciplines necessary to a career field. There are college majors in which an early choice is essential if you are to finish a bachelor's degree in four years. In these fields a sequence of courses is inflexible. However, many stu-dents choose not to complete a baccalaureate in four years. In many areas, an early choice is not essential: a liberal arts foundation will prepare you for a wide range of majors. It is wise, though, to continue to seek career counseling and to explore alternatives by taking courses that interest you from many different disciplines. You will be re-quired to make a definite choice at some point in time, and any background work you have done will tend to make your decision a better, or, at least, a more realistic one.

LATE GRADUATION/COMMENCEMENT ATTENDANCE Students who will not complete all requirements for graduation (requirements, hours, and GPA) and are within 9 hours of completing their degree must file for “Late Graduation.” Late Gradua-tion or exceptions must have the recommendation of the Academic Committee and the approv-al of the vice president for academic affairs. Students who receive approval, have completed 27 hours at Cottey for an associate degree or 45 hours for a bachelor degree at Cottey, and have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher may participate in commence-ment. Students may complete coursework after leaving Cottey College and transfer the hours back to Cottey to assist in meeting graduation requirements. Please check with the Academic Records Office to complete the “Intent to Transfer Form”.
