Historical OverviewBy an Act of the South Carolina Legislature in May 1961, an extensive statewide program of technical training was initiated through the establishment of regional Technical Educa-tion Centers to aid in the economic development of the state. In November 1961 Spartanburg County requested and received approval to provide a technical education center for the citizens in its region. The Spartanburg County Com-mission for Technical Training was formed to guide the development of the new center. Mr.TracyJ.GaineswasthefirstChairmanoftheCommissionandMr.P.DanHullwasnamedasthefirstDirectoroftheSpartanburgCountyTechnicalEducationCenter. ByMay1963thecenteroccupieditsfirstbuildingatthepresentsiteofSpartanburgTech-nicalCollege.Onehundredandfiftystudentsenrolledinnineindustrialandengineeringtechnology training programs and an extension course in supervisory development in the Fall Term, 1963. From 1963 through 1973 Spartanburg County Technical Education Center experienced rapid growth. Enrollment in academic programs for the 1973 Fall Term reached 1,342, which included new programs in business, engineering technology, and health sciences. Seven of the programs started in the mid-sixties were discontinued by 1973 in response to changing economic development needs. In 1969 Mr. James P. Ledbetter, Jr., was elected Chairman of the Spartanburg County Commission for Technical Training and Mr. Joe D. Gault became the second director of the center in 1970. Duringthisfirstdecade,thecenterreceivedaccreditationbytheSouthernAssociationof Colleges and Schools (SACS) in December 1970. Also, a second classroom/laboratory building was constructed during this time. The East and West buildings now represented asignificantcoreforfutureexpansion.

Recognizing the institution’s broadening scope and depth of academic program offer-ings,in1974theSpartanburgTechnicalEducationCenterwasofficiallydesignatedasSpartanburg Technical College.

From 1974 through 1984 the College experienced steady growth in enrollment and a period of dynamic change. By the 1984 fall term, enrollment was 1,653. Many new aca-demic programs were added to the curriculum during this second decade and the names andcontentofsomeprogramswereupdatedtoreflectchangesintechnology.By1984the College offered over 40 associate degree and diploma programs. Custom-designed training provided through the College’s Continuing Education/Industry and Business Training Division received increased emphasis during this period.

In the Fall of 1980 construction of two additional buildings were completed. The 32,000 square feet Tracy J. Gaines Learning Resource Center houses the library, media center, bookstore, shipping and receiving, several classrooms, conference rooms, and a 300-seat auditorium. The 20,000 square feet Industrial Training Facility houses the College’s weld-ing and Ford ASSET programs. Additionally, in 1983 the College purchased the James P. Ledbetter, Jr. Administration Building. By the end of the second decade, the College had acquired a total of 104 acres of land off Interstate Highway 85, and grown to a 264,201

In 1983, following the death of Mr. James P. Ledbetter, Jr., Mr. Charles R. Sanders was elected Chairman of the Spartanburg County Commission for Technical Education. In July 1985, upon the retirement of Mr. Joe D. Gault, Dr. Jack A. Powers became president of Spartanburg Technical College. During the period 1985 through 1995, the College has experienced tremendous enrollment growth, with the 1995 fall term realizing over 2,500 students. Academic programs have beenconsistentlyreviewed,upgraded,andmodernizedtoreflectcurrenttechnologies. Developing improved networks and working relationships have highlighted this third decade. Responding to the South Carolina Governor’s 1988 Initiative for Work Force Excel-lence, Spartanburg Technical College developed the largest basic skills training program for employees in the workplace within the state.

In the fall of 1990 the College launched a new University Transfer Program through the establishment of associate degree programs in arts and sciences. This addition to the tradi-tionaltechnicalcurriculumsignificantlybroadenedtheCollege’seducationalmission. In 1993, upon the retirement of Mr. Charles R. Sanders, Rev. Dr. Benjamin P. Snoddy was elected the fourth chairman of the Spartanburg County Commission for Technical Education.

Spartanburg Technical College linked with Internet in 1994, the world’s largest and most powerful computer network. The College now has direct access to the worldwide “in-formation highway."

In1995,theCollegebeganofferingcoursesviadistanceeducationtoprovideflexibleedu-cational opportunities to students who prefer to take courses off-campus either through video-based or interactive two-way video.

In 1996, the College welcomed a new president, Dr. Dan L. Terhune, who replaced Dr. Jack A. Powers, who retired after serving as president for 10 years.

In the fall of 1997, the College opened a new satellite campus, the Duncan Center, located off Highway 290 at Commerce Park in western Spartanburg County. Designed to offer both curriculum and continuing education classes to individuals and business/industry in the area, the Duncan Center offers evening courses to accommodate busy work schedules.

In 1998, the STC distance learning video network expanded with the addition of several new sites throughout the College's three-county service area.

Regulations and Procedures: Transfer in Public Two-Year Institutions in South Carolina as Mandated by Act 137 of 1995

Note: Appendix A, B and C are on file in academic affairs and are available for review on an as needed basis.

Background:Section 10-C of the South Carolina School-to-Work Transition Act (1994) stipulates that the Council of College and University Presidents and the Commission on High-er Education shall develop better articulation of associate and baccalaureate degree programs. To comply with this requirement, the Commission upon the advice of the Council of Presidents established a Transfer Articulation Policy Committee composed of four-year institutions' vice presidents for academic affairs and the as-sociate director for instruction of the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education. The principal outcomes derived from the work of that committee and accepted by the Commission on Higher Education on July 6, 1995, were:

* An expanded list of 72 courses which will transfer to four-year public institutions of South Carolina from the two-year public institutions;

* A statewide policy document on good practices in transfer to be followed by all public institutions of higher education in the State of South Carolina, which was accepted in principle by the Advi-

19

22

Admissions

soryCommitteeonAcademicProgramsandtheCommission;* Six task forces on statewide transfer agreements, each based in a discipline or broad area of the baccalaureate curriculum.

In 1995 the General Assembly passed Act 137 which stipulated further that the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education "notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, shall have the following additional duties and functions with regard to the various public institutions of higher education." These duties and responsibilities include the Commission's responsibility "to establish procedures for the transferability of courses at schools." This same provision is repeated in the legislation developed from the report of the Joint Legislative Study Committee, which is now moving through the General Assembly during the 1996 session.

Act 137 directs the Commission to adopt procedures for the transfer of courses from all two-year public to all four-year public institutions of higher education in South Carolina. Proposed procedures are listed below. Unless otherwise stated, these procedures shall become effective immediately upon approval by the Com-mission and shall be fully implemented, unless otherwise stated, by September 1, 1997.

Statewide Articulation of 72 Courses:1. The Statewide Articulation Agreement of 72 courses approved by the South Caro-lina Commission on Higher Education for transfer from two-to four-year public institutions (See Appendix A) shall be applicable to all public institutions, including two-year institutions and institutions within the same system. In instances where an institution does not have synonymous courses to ones on this list, it shall iden-tify comparable courses or course categories for acceptance of general education courses on the statewide list.

Admission Criteria, Course Grades, GPAs, Validations:2. All four-year public institutions shall issue annually in August, a transfer guide covering at least the following items:

A.Thedefinitionofatransferstudentandrequirementsforadmissiontoboth the institution an, if more selective, requirements for admission to particular programs.

B. Limitations placed by the institution or its programs for acceptance of standardized examinations (e.g., SAT, ACT) taken more than a given time ago, for academic coursework taken elsewhere, for coursework re-peated due to failure, for coursework taken at another institution while the student is academically suspended at his/her home institution, and so forth.

C. Institutional and, if more selective, programmatic maximums of course credits allowable in transfer.

D. Institutional procedures used to calculate students applicants' GPAs for transfer admission. Such procedures shall describe how nonstandard grades (withdrawal, failing, repeated all coursework, etc.) are evalu-ated;andtheyshallalsodescribewhetherallcourseworktakenpriorto

transfer or just coursework deemed appropriate to the student's intended four-year program of study is calculated for purposes of admission to the institution and/or programmatic major.

E. Lists of all courses accepted from each technical college (including the 72 courses in the Statewide Articulation Agreement) and the course equiva-lencies (including "free elective" category) found on the home institution for the courses accepted.

F. Lists of all articulation agreements with any public South Carolina two-year or other institutions of higher education, together with information about how interested parties can access these agreements.

G.Listsoftheinstitution'stransferofficer(s)personaltogetherwithtele-phoneandfaxnumbersandofficeaddress.

H. Institutional policies related to "academic bankruptcy" (i.e. removing an entire transcript or parts thereof from a failed or underachieving record after a period of years has passed) so that re-entry into the four-year institution with course credit earned in the interim elsewhere is done without regard to the student's earlier record.

I. "Residency requirements" for the minimum number of hours required to be earned at the institution for the degree.

3. Coursework (individual courses, transfer blocks, statewide agreements) covered within these procedures shall be transferable if the student has completed the coursework with a "C" grade (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or above, but transfer of grades does not relieve the student of the obligation to meet an GPA requirements or other admissions requirements of the institution or program to which application has been made.

A. Any four-year institution which has institutional or programmatic ad-missions requirements for transfer students with cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) higher than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale shall apply such entrance requirements equally to transfer students from regionally accredited South Carolina public institutions regardless of whether students are transferring from a four-year or two-year institution.

B. Any multi-campus institution or system shall certify by letter to the Com-mission that all coursework at all of its campuses applicable to a particular degree program of study is fully acceptable in transfer to meet degree requirements in the same degree program at any other of its campuses.

4. Any coursework (individual courses, transfer blocks, statewide agreements) cov-ered within these procedures shall be transferable to any public institution without any additional fee and without any further encumbrance such as a "validation examination,""placementexamination/instrument,""verificationinstrument,"orany other structure, notwithstanding any institutional or system policy, procedure, or regulation to the contrary.

Transfer Blocks, Statewide Agreements, Completion of the AA/AS Degree:5. The following Transfer Blocks/Statewide Agreements taken at any two-year pub-lic institution in South Carolina shall be accepted in their totality toward meeting

(For complete texts and information about these statewide transfer blocks/agree-ments, see Appendix B.)

6.Any"unique"academicprogramnotspecificallyorbyextensioncoveredbyoneof these statewide transfer blocks/agreements listed in #4 above shall either create its own transfer block of 35 or more credit hours with the approval of CHE staff of shall adopt either the arts/social science/humanities or the science/mathematics block by September 1996. The institution at which such programs is located shall inform the staff of the CHE and every institutional president and vice president for academic affairs about this decision.

7. Any student who has completed either an associate of arts or associate of science degree program at any public two-year South Carolina institution which contains within it the total coursework found in either the arts/social, sciences/humanities transfer block or the math/science transfer block shall automatically be entitled to junior-level status or its equivalent at whatever public senior institution to which the student might have been admitted. (Note: As agreed by the Committee on Academic Affairs, junior status applies only to campus activities such as priority order for registration for courses, residence hall assignments, parking, athletic event tickets, etc., and not in calculating academic degree credits.)

Related Reports and Statewide Documents:8. All applicable recommendations found in the Commission's report to the General Assembly on the School-to-Work Act (approved by the Commission and trans-

Academic Probation/Exclusion from Transitional Studies- Students who receive a "U" or "F*" in a zero-level transitional studies subject (English, reading or math-ematics) are placed on academic probation in that subject. A second "U" or "F*" in the subject results in the student's exclusion from that subject for one semester. Extensions of the probationary period may be approved by the division dean if extenuating circumstances are documented.

Re-admission - Students on academic exclusion must meet with an admissions counselor. The counselor will contact the department head and division dean to secure approval for the student to be re-admitted.

Students in the degree, diploma, and certificate programs at Spartanburg Technical College are scheduled for an appropriate number of subjects from the Mathemat-ics/Sciences, English, and Social Sciences departments. Also, students who are not working toward a degree, diploma, or certificate often take subjects from these areas to enhance their basic skills. These general education courses are offered both day and evening.

University Transfer ProgramsAssociate in Arts

Associate in Science4 Semesters, Day

6 Semesters, Evening (Minimum)

The University Transfer Programs (associate in arts and associate in science) are specifically designed for students whose goal is a baccalaureate degree. These programs offer the freshman and sophomore years of study required at many uni-versities and colleges. In either program students must complete courses in math, English, humanities, social sciences, and the natural sciences.

The associate in arts degree (AA) is appropriate for students whose goal is a four-year degree in areas such as education, English, history, business administration, psychology, social work, and physical education.

The associate in science degree (AS) is appropriate for students whose goal is a four-year degree in a math and/or science-related field such as biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, medicine, pharmacy, and engineering.

Admission requirements for the University Transfer Programs include assessment in reading, math, and English skills. Assessment is waived for students with ap-propriate transfer or advanced placement credits.

The length of time required to complete a University Transfer Program is dependent upon the number of courses in which the student enrolls each term. Students are advised to follow a course sequence consistent with their four-year degree goal.

University transfer courses are designed to be accepted at South Carolina public four-year colleges and universities and are accepted by a number of private insti-tutions. However, requirements for specific majors vary among institutions. The student is responsible for checking with the four-year institution he or she plans to attend to determine acceptance of credits. Students should, with the assistance of an academic advisor at Spartanburg Technical College, plan their academic pro-grams to meet the requirements of their four-year degree goal. Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" to transfer courses.

Landscape Management Program Certificate

18 Months; Evening

The Landscape Management Certificate is offered by the horticulture department for evening students who wish to take courses in the specific area of landscape maintenance and management. The objective of this certificate is to create confi-dence and professionalism in the landscaper and nursery worker by broadening his horticultural knowledge and by increasing his exposure to modern techniques and materials used in landscape management.

The certificate is designed especially for those individuals who are already em-ployed in landscape management and nursery businesses or who desire some training in these areas. This certificate is offered only at night to accommodate individuals presently working in this industry. The Horticulture Advisory Com-mittee selected courses for this certificate that would provide practical applications for the student. The courses are all offered as "credit" courses and can be applied toward the day time associate degree in horticulture. Students who wish to transfer to the associate degree program from the certificate program should verify credits with the department head.

Students can enroll in the certificate at the beginning of any term . In most cases, a student will need to attend classes two nights a week in order to complete the certificate in two years. The cost of the courses is based on credit hours.

Practical Application: The Landscape Management Program includes regular classes and special projects. An ornamental garden and adjacent grounds provide students opportunities for observation and study.

Job Opportunities: Enhancement of job skills for currently employed landscape management personnel as well as for individuals desiring to enter the landscape management field and nursery fields.

Respiratory Care Programs

Diploma - 16 months; DayAssociate Degree - 24 Months; Day

Among the first medical specialists called in emergency treatment of acute respira-tory conditions are the respiratory care practitioners. The respiratory therapist assesses the patient’s need for respiratory care, administers the therapy, evaluates the patient’s response and modifies the care to provide the maximum benefit to the patient. The therapist is a resource to the physician and may function unsupervised. In addition, the therapist supervises, directs and teaches less skilled personnel. Therefore, great individual judgement is required. The technician assists the therapist and provides patient care in non-critical situations. The technician may perform some advanced tasks under the direct supervision of a physician or therapist. Increasing numbers of cardio-respiratory problems, chronic asthma and emphysema victims mean an increasing need for gradu-ates. The Respiratory Care Programs include the diploma program and the associate degree program. Graduates of the 16-month diploma program may seek employment as respiratory care technicians or may elect to continue into the associate degree program. Following the additional eight months of training, graduates from the associate degree may seek employment as respiratory therapists.
