When registering online or by telephone, students will be prompted to select the appropriate career for the type of offering that they wish to register for. The career used at Reynolds for all credit courses is the Credit (CRED) career. The continuing education (CEU), non-credit (CNED), and quarter credit careers are listed for historical purposes only and should not be used.

Community College Workforce Alliance (CCWA) The Community College Workforce Alliance is a cooperative partnership between J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College and John Tyler Community College dedicated to supporting economic development and providing world-class workforce training and services to both the public and private sectors in the Richmond, Tri-cities, and surrounding counties. A variety of non-credit workforce development and lifelong learning courses are offered through the Alliance.

Concurrent Enrollment High school and home schooled juniors and seniors may be permitted to enroll in college-level courses prior to graduating from high school. The College must receive written permission from the student’s high school principal for each requested semester or term. All high school students are required to complete all portions of the COMPASS placement test and earn minimal required scores before enrolling in any classes at the College. Notes: High school students are not eligible to apply for financial aid. The parent of home school students will be recognized as the principal. Registration for concurrent students must take place on campus at one of the Student Success Centers.

Students who are taking dual enrollment courses may receive both high school and college credit. High school students are not eligible to apply for financial aid.

Empl ID (Student ID) The Empl ID is a unique 7-character number assigned to each student that serves as a student identification number.

1. APPLY AND DETERMINE YOUR ENROLLMENT STATUS

2. GET YOUR EMPL ID

3. PREPARE TO ENROLL

4. PLAN YOUR FINANCES

5. ENROLL IN CLASSES

6. PAY TUITION

7. CONFIRM YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE

8. BUY YOUR BOOKS

STEP 1 APPLY AND DETERMINE YOUR ENROLLMENT STATUSIf you are new to the College, are taking credit classes for the first time, or are returning after an absence of three years or more (before Summer 2008), complete the Application for Admission found online at reynolds.edu, under the Future Students section. Students who complete the on-line application will receive immediate feedback from the College. If the on-line application is completed successfully, the new student will be issued a student ID number (Empl ID). Upon completion of the on-line application, students should print the application and confirmation page for their records.

If you are a student that 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. The completed application can 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 financial 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 identification 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 financial 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 22 for information about getting reinstated. Whether new or returning, note that placement testing may be required (see Step 3); financial aid and scholarship applications and documents must be completed by the deadlines (see Step 3); and early-bird registration begins on July 11 (see Calendar of Dates and Times).

STEP 2 GET YOUR EMPL IDAs a new student, once your application has been processed, you will be issued a JSRCC 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 (Virginia Community College System) institution, and need assistance determining the correct Empl ID number to use for transactions at JSRCC, please call (804) 523-5029.

STEP 4 PLAN YOUR FINANCES

A. TUITION AND FEESIn-State Students $129.10 per semester credit* Out-of-State Students $320.70 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 ($1.50), auxiliary services fee ($6.50), technology fee ($7.50) and capital fee for out-of-state students ($15.00) as set by JSRCC’s 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 of Dates and Times. (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 un-enrolled 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 PLANStudents who are interested in a tuition payment plan can access information by clicking on “Current Students” then on “Tuition Rates.” The payment plan offered is administered by Nelnet Business Solutions, a private company not affiliated with J. Sargeant Reynolds Community 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 SIS Self Service page by clicking on “Apply Nelnet Payment Plan” link. 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 financial aid is not permitted to be factored into payment plan contract balances. Students wanting to utilize additional outside third party sponsorships must contact the Central Business Office payment plan liaison (804-523-5186) prior to initiating a Nelnet contract so their student account balance can be adjusted down appropriately.

Nelnet contract balances are adjusted periodically if a student’s course schedule has been altered. Be aware that adding and dropping classes will automatically initiate adjustment of your original Nelnet contract balance to match the current student account balance due.

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 J. Sargeant Reynolds Community 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 2011 semester from July 11, 2011 through August 26, 2011. Nelnet e-Cashier applications must be completed by 3:00 p.m. on the date that tuition payment is due to the college. Students who wish to have their Nelnet contract terminated are advised to contact the college Central Business Office payment plan liaison (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 November 4, 2011.

C. FINANCIAL AIDIn order to ensure that financial 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 sufficient time to ensure that it is received by the Pell Processing Center no later than: April 15, 2011 for Fall 2011 September 15, 2011 for Spring 2012

eight Steps to


13


If necessary, corrections and/or verification 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 office correspondence sent to the student. A student should be prepared to pay tuition and fees if corrections are processed by the Financial Aid office after June 15, 2011 for Fall 2011, November 15, 2011 for Spring 2012; April 15, 2012 for Summer 2012. Students may apply late for financial aid, but there is no guarantee that award eligibility and notification will be in time to assist with tuition, fees, and books for the current registration.

Students who are eligible and have been awarded financial aid will receive an email listing the types and amounts of aid. Anticipated financial aid will be automatically posted to student accounts, and tuition and fees will automatically be charged to each student’s financial aid after the last day to drop a class with a refund. If financial 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 of Dates and Times. Students with web access may use My JSRCC to check on their financial aid and student account. After logging into My JSRCC, students may view their financial aid and student account in the Finances section of Learner Services.

D. EMPLOYER OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY SPONSOR Students who anticipate an employer or other third-party sponsor, including external scholarships, to be responsible for tuition expenses should contact the Central Business Office at (804) 523-5186 prior to registration to determine documents required of the sponsor.

Once registered, students must contact a campus Business Office 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 file 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 APPEALSNew applicants should verify their residency classification on the Web Application Confirmation Sheet or in their letter of admission. On occasion, applicants will be classified 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 E-mail request with their full name and Empl ID to [email protected]. 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 first day of class. Requests for review of domicile that are received after the first 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 officer informs students of needed documentation and the appeal process, as needed. Appeal deadlines for continuing students are listed below:

STEP 5 ENROLL IN CLASSES

REYNET and my JSRCC users can register during Early-Bird Registration (see Calendar of Dates and Times) for the best selection of classes! Over half of Reynolds’ students self-register without having to come on campus and wait in line! REYNET and my JSRCC registration is available to students in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or better). Students must know their Student Identification 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 REYNET and my JSRCC registration after completing placement tests and getting advised in an on-campus Student Success Center, or during orientation (www.reynolds.edu/orientation).

New non-curricular students may self-enroll via my JSRCC or REYNET 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 their advisor or 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 financial obligations with the college prior to enrolling. Log on to my JSRCC to see if you have any holds. Before enrolling, students may plan their course

schedule by completing the Enrollment Work Sheet above. All of the information needed to enroll can be placed on the work sheet.

Removal from some or all enrolled courses may occur for those students whose accounts are not paid in full or otherwise fully supported by an approved financial aid award or other third-party sponsorship agreement by each payment deadline. Students who no longer wish to be enrolled in particular courses should drop all such unwanted courses by the published drop deadline. If not dropped, tuition refunds, where appropriate, will not be processed and financial aid awards and third-party sponsorship accounts will be charged accordingly. Students who have concerns about their account should contact a Business Office representative who will be happy to answer their questions.

REFUNDSStudents 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 or REYNET 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 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 financial aid whodrops all classes is not entitled to a refund of tuition and fees from federal or state grant aid. These funds are refunded to the appropriate financial aid program.

ATTENDANCEJ. Sargeant Reynolds 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 dropped 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 official 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 official 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 reflected on their transcript. AUDITING CLASSES Audited 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 last day to drop. Additionally, students that wish to change the status of a class from audit to credit must complete the request prior to the last day to drop the class. Permission of the school dean or another appropriate academic administrator is required to audit a course. CANCELLED/CHANGED CLASSES Each 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).

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 final grade to the Central Admissions and Records office. Failure to complete course requirements by the end of the following semester will result in an automatic grade of F.

COURSE LOAD Students who wish to be enrolled 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 their advisor’s recommendation prior to seeking the approval of the school dean.

DISCLOSURES Annual Police Report – The College publishes an annual Police Report, which lists criminal offenses, hate offenses, and arrests at each of the three campuses and the Ginter Park Center. This report can be found on the College’s website at reynolds.edu/campuspolice under the Campus Crime Statistics section. Requests for paper copies of this report can be made to the Department of Police. Student Right-to-Know Information – The College publishes annually graduation and transfer rates for full-time, first-time, and degree- or certificate-seeking students. This information can be found on the College’s website at reynolds.edu under the About Reynolds section. Requests for paper copies of this report can be made at a Student Success Center. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

– The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

ACADEMIC RENEWALStudents who return or have returned to Reynolds after a separation of at least five 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, certificate, or career studies certificate using any of the affected D grades. Students may visit a campus Student Success Center or call Admissions and Records at (804) 523-5029 for further details or to obtain a petition for academic renewal.

ACADEMIC STANDINGStudents who attain a 2.000 GPA in their last semester at Reynolds are in good standing and are eligible to self-advise and self-register. Students with less than good standing must be advised by a Student Success Center representative (non-curricular students) or a faculty advisor (curricular students). Students returning from suspension must either be absent one semester for automatic reinstatement or appeal to the Academic Standing Committee for reinstatement before attempting to register. Students returning from dismissal must appeal to the Academic Standing Committee for reinstatement before attempting to register.

Students interested in appealing to the Academic Standing Committee must submit a Reinstatement Form, along with supporting documentation, to a campus Student Success Center (Fax #: 804-371-3650) by the following deadlines:

• July 1, 2011 (Fall 2011 reinstatement)• November 1, 2011 (Spring 2012 reinstatement)• April 1, 2012 (Summer 2012 reinstatement)

CURRICULAR STATUSStudent’s last curricular or non-curricular status is still in effect upon returning each semester. Students should visit a Student Success Center to change their curricular status.

GRADUATION INFORMATIONStudents anticipating graduation must submit a graduation application by the following dates:

June 30, 2011 for Summer 2011 September 30, 2011 for Fall 2011 and January 31, 2012 for Spring 2012.

All graduating students should meet with an advisor in their academic program prior to registering for their final semester. The advisor will review all remaining program requirements. All documentation of training, education, or tests from organizations outside of the college must be submitted to the Admissions and Records office by the last day of classes in the student’s final semester. All Reynolds courses (including incomplete grades) must also be completed by the last day of classes in the student’s final semester in order to be used for graduation.

Financial Aid Students (including loan recipients)

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESSStudents must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to receive financial aid. Satisfactory academic progress means successfully finishing your program of study within an acceptable time frame.

Some SAP Facts:

• F=U=W=I Grades of F, U, W, or I negatively impact your SAP equally.

• Time alone 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 STANDARDS

Completion Rate

A student must successfully complete two-thirds (67%) of all the credit and developmental hours they attempt. Completion rates will be assessed at the point a student has attempted 17 credit hours or 50% of the program requirements, whichever comes first. Successful completion means a grade of A, B, C, D, S, R or P. Grades of F, U, W, I, 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 finished the plan. Students can calculate their own 150% rate by finding the total credits in their plan from the catalog. Total Plan Credits_________ x 1.5 = _________Your Maximum Time Frame

Please 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

17-23 1.00

24-35 1.50

36-47 1.75

48 + 2.00

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

IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE STANDARDS

Assessment The Financial Aid office 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.

NotificationThe Financial Aid office will notify students of their status by placing a message on My JSRCC and by mailing letters to students.


Financial Aid Students (including loan recipients)

AppealStudents 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 and obtain a “Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal” form or download the form from the financial aid website at reynolds.edu/studentaffairs/faid.htm. Completed forms should have copies of documents that confirm 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 J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College.

Stay InformedStudents should work closely with their academic advisor and choose their courses wisely. Students who are uncertain about their SAP status should consult a financial aid specialist in a campus Student Success Center.

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, office, 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 difficult 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-certifications, to complete the requirements for an Associate’s degree or to study for personal enrichment. J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College 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 JSRCC 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 JSRCC campuses, at a site 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. The last day to register for any Fall semester Distance Learning course

is August 26, 2011. Because Distance Learning course sections fill quickly, you should register as soon as possible. Most Distance Learning courses are semester length courses and follow the college calendar for Add/Drop and Withdrawal.

In order to enroll in any Distance Learning courses at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, you must have consistent Internet access (Internet Explorer 7.0 currently recommended), e-mail, telephone access, and word processing software or you must be able to go to a JSRCC campus location to access the computer lab, the library and other student support resources. Before enrolling in Distance Learning courses, you should take the JSRCC placement tests, the SmarterMeasure assessment and complete any recommendations and course prerequisites.

Tip for Success:

Most students find that Distance Learning courses are more demanding than the traditional on-campus lecture courses. To be successful as a Distance Learning student, you should consider all of the items listed below. If you have concerns about any of these items, talk with an academic advisor before registering for a Distance Learning course.

In an effort to provide both flexibility in course schedules and the benefits of face-to-face, on-campus instruction, JSRCC is now offering a range of hybrid courses. Hybrid courses are credit courses that require both online and on-campus class meetings. In these courses, half of the instruction will be in the classroom with the instructor and the other half of the course will be completed online. Many courses will require one meeting per week on campus; evening and Saturday classes may meet on campus on alternating weeks. Students must be proficient in basic computer skills and be able to attend the required on-campus class meetings in order to be successful in these courses. Students should carefully read the section comments in the schedule before registering for any hybrid course. Hybrid course sections will have the following section identifiers

HD – hybrid section with on-campus meeting at the Downtown Campus

HP – hybrid section with on-campus meeting at the Parham Road Campus

HW – hybrid section with on-campus meeting at the Western Campus

For a complete list of classes available this Fall 2011, visit reynolds.edu.

Reynolds Learning Communities “More courses . . . Less class time!” – Katy Dunn, Reynolds Learning Community student

A learning community is when two (or more) course sections in the same semester are linked together and the same students enroll in both course sections. Classes are typically back- to-back, or at the same time on alternating days - so your first benefit is getting a better, more convenient class schedule.

What do computers and English have in common? Or art and history? A lot - if they’re a part of a Reynolds Learning Community.

Learning Communities take apparently unrelated courses and link them together with a theme and a team of professors. “Courses are easier to deal with because they are linked together,” said Reynolds Learning Community student, Kelly McIntosh.

Students in LCs are usually more satisfied with their college experience, do better in their classes and return in the following semesters to complete their programs and goals. For more information, visit reynolds.edu/lc.
