CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAM (1-6)Bachelor of Science Degree (B.S.)HEGIS Code: 0802

The undergraduate program in Childhood Education leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree (B.S.) is designed for candidates planning to pursue careers as teachers in public or private elementary schools. This program fulfills the New York State Education Department requirements for the Initial Certificate in Childhood Education (1-6). The program includes field experiences, observations, and a student teaching experience in both the upper (4-6) and lower (1-3) elementary grade levels in a cooperating public school district under the supervision of the Education Division Chair.

The courses in the Pedagogical Core designed for this program incorporate the learning standards embodied in the regulations of the Commissioner of Education.

The Content Core in Literature includes both intermediate and advanced level courses in the discipline. Literature has been selected for a major concentration in order to prepare graduates with a broad, humanistic appreciation of the world, its diversity, peoples and cultures.

The Liberal Arts courses in the General Education Core have been selected to broaden and elevate candidate awareness, cultivate the intellect and stimulate the imagination. These courses are designed to develop skills that will provide excellent preparation for a teaching career.

LIBERAL ARTS DEGREE PROGRAMAcquainting the student with the broad cultural, social, and scientific aspects of the world and stimulating him or her to think, to analyze, and to communicate are the primary goals of a liberal education. Such an education not only offers the potential for a richer, more rewarding life but is also basic to all pursuits in the arts, sciences, and professions.

The Liberal Arts program provides a general education in the traditional areas of knowledge, regardless of the student's career choice. In addition, the student has the opportunity for additional study in a particular discipline in selected fields to explore its methods, acquire its tools, and gain a mastery of its body of knowledge.

For the student whose career choice is not clearly defined, the Liberal Arts program, leading to the Associate in Arts degree, provides an opportunity to explore selected areas in the humanities, the arts, and the social and behavioral sciences. Some students develop interest in a particular career and transfer after graduation for further educational preparation.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS (A.A.) DEGREE IN LIBERAL ARTS

The Associate in Arts graduate is prepared for transfer with advanced standing to a baccalaureate program where ad-ditional professional training may be undertaken. Advisors should be consulted for assistance in selection of programs and electives geared to personal educational goals.

JAZZ/COMMERCIAL MUSIC PROGRAM

Music as a career today is an exciting, challenging, and diversified field. The well-educated professional who is ca-pable of responding to varied musical demands has a decided advantage over the individual with lesser qualifications in the keen competition for those desirable positions that offer financial as well as aesthetic rewards.

The Five Towns College Jazz/Commercial Music program has been organized to enable its graduates to prepare for careers as instrumental and vocal performers, music arrang-ers and composers, private music teachers, and music store and studio operators.

An intensive schedule of ensemble workshops, coordinated with composition, arranging and repertory courses, enables students to perform, analyze, and evaluate their work in professional-level laboratory sessions. This thorough training is accomplished through a carefully structured program taught by a faculty of experienced educators and professional musicians.

It is a professional on-campus performance area where students can gather and music majors can perform to increase and improve their music skills and related professional expertise.

The Café provides an attractive area for socialization where wholesome food and beverages are available at modest cost for faculty, staff, students and visitors.

The management of the Downbeat Café through its entertain-ment selection and mode of operation reflects commitment to high standards, cultural variety, and maintains a clean, efficient, and attractive environment that serves to promote school spirit and College recognition.

THE RECORD

The Record, the College newspaper, is issued periodically and features student-written articles about campus events and activities.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

A student handbook is distributed to all new student at Ori-entation. Students are required to familiarize themselves with its contents.

CAMPUS EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Five Towns College utilizes the MR3 Campus Emergency Notification System to alert its community about important happenings on campus. When circumstances arise, voice and text messages are sent from the Public Safety Office directly to enrolled telephone numbers. Most students elect to receive emergency notifications on their cell phone and on the land line located at their place of residence. Stu-dents may also enroll additional numbers, with many elect-ing to have emergency notifications sent to the cell phones of their parents, guardians, or spouses as well. Students are enrolled into the MR3 Emergency Notification System during the admissions process, during which they receive a discrete user name, password, and instructions on how to make subsequent changes to their enrollment information. This is particularly important, as students have a respon-sibility to remain informed and to keep the MR3 system current, such as when they change cell phone or land line numbers. Additional information about the MR3 Emergen-cy Notification System, as well as technical assistance, is available from the Public Safety Office, or by dialing (631) 656-3159 or 2186.

Student LifeSTUDENT ACTIVITIES

The College's activities program plays a vital role in student growth and development. It is designed to provide a wide variety of leisure-time experiences, enable students to orga-nize groups to explore mutual interests, increase opportunities for leadership and the development of administrative skills, and provide a positive and wholesome influence on student life at the College.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

The student government is composed of elected representa-tives who serve on the Student Council. Student government has the responsibility of providing student input on issues that have a direct relationship to student life at Five Towns College. It also serves as a means of improving communi-cation within the College.

The planning and carrying out of social and recreational activities are the responsibility of student government. Such activities may take the form of an on-campus event, such as a musical theatre production or jazz concert, or an off-campus activity, such as a trip to Manhattan or a concert.

STUDENT CLUBS

From time to time, different organized activities are carried on in the form of clubs when varied groups of students evince an interest in business, photography, music, and other areas of personal involvement.

COLLEGE YEARBOOK

The College Yearbook, produced by interested students with the cooperation of faculty advisors, serves as a record in pictures and words of the graduating class as well as a vehicle for the literary, artistic, and photographic talents of all students. Students in the Journalism and Creative Writing classes generally contribute to this publication.

FLYER

The Flyer, a weekly newsletter distributed to students and fac-ulty members, keeps the College community abreast of campus activities, student responsibilities, administrative regulations, new courses, and other items of immediate interest.

CREDIT CARD MARKETING POLICY

The advertising, marketing, or merchandising of credit cards to students on the campus of Five Towns College is strictly prohibited. Any individual visitor, licensee, or invitee found violating this policy shall be banned from the campus for a period of two years and any credit card issuer represented by said visitor, licensee, or invitee shall be banned from the campus for a period of one year.

The use of cellular telephones, pagers, text-messaging, and other communication devices during class or during the administration of any examination is strictly prohibited. Using such devices during an examination is deemed to be dishonorable conduct in violation of the Student Code of Conduct, and may result in the voiding of test scores, a failing course grade, and further disciplinary action.

CULTURAL HOUR PERFORMANCES

ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER

Located in Rooms 104 and 106, the Academic Support Cen-ter is open to all Five Towns College students on a drop-in basis. The Center provides tutoring, academic counseling, learning strategy seminars, and a variety of other services designed to help each student reach his or her academic potential. The Center also administers the College’s HEOP, PASS, SCOPE and MORE programs.

• HEOP (Higher Education Opportunity Program) is de-signed for academically and economically disadvantaged students. If selected for the program, HEOP participants are required to attend a pre-freshman program during the summer preceding fall entry. Advising, counseling, tutor-ing and financial assistance are provided for these students for the duration of their degree programs if eligibility requirements are continuously met.

• PASS (Promoting Academic Success for Students) is designed to provide academic support to those students who meet the academic requirements for HEOP but do not qualify for financial assistance. PASS participants have access to the same advising, counseling, and tutoring ser-vices that are essential to the success of HEOP students.

• SCOPE (Serving Opportunity Program Students Edu-cationally) is designed to address the unique challenges faced by international students while attending the College. Eligible foreign students receive advisement, counseling and tutoring services tailored to their specific needs, which often includes programs to strengthen English language skills and processing student visas and other governmental documents.

• MORE (Motivated, Organized, Realistic and Enthusiastic) is designed to provide support services and reasonable learning accommodations to students with documented learning disabilities.

TUTORIAL SERVICES

One of the forms of academic assistance given to students who require help in their courses is the tutoring service pro-vided by faculty members and peer tutors. A student can see his/her instructors during office hours. A student can also receive assistance in the Academic Support Center.

Student ServicesACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

Academic planning and advisement are an integral part of the ongoing educational process at the College and begin as soon as the student is accepted. Each student is assigned to a faculty member who serves as his her academic advisor. Conferences with their academic advisors provide opportunities for students to plan their programs and review their academic progress. Prior to each registration period academic advisors help stu-dents to prepare their programs for the following semester. Academic advisors may be consulted for individual needs at any time throughout the academic year during a regular schedule of office hours. Although academic advisement is provided, students are solely responsible for their course selections and for meeting degree requirements.

CAREER SERVICES AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING CENTER

The Career Services and Experiential Learning Center makes students aware of job opportunities and helps them acquire the necessary skills in searching for jobs, preparing resumes and cover letters, and doing well in interviews.

The selection of a career is one of the most crucial decisions a student is called upon to make. The College's career education program, which includes testing, guidance, and reading materi-als, seeks to assist each student in making that decision.

The Center also facilitates the internship, co-operative education, study abroard, and other experiential learning opportunities.

HEALTH SERVICES

Information and help for students with emotional problems and referrals for professional psychological services are made available through the College Counseling Office. Lectures and literature are offered in such areas as sex, family, mar-riage, nutrition, and personal health.

The College does not provide on campus medical services, but does maintain a relationship with the Dolan Health Center off campus for students. In addition, the College does require that students purchase mandatory health insurance through the College, unless they present proof of health insurance through their own provider at the time of registration or re-registration.

HOUSING

The Living/Learning Center is a complex of four residence halls. Each building has a variety of single and double rooms, internet access, cable TV, telephone, and other services. A minimum mandatory meal plan is required. Students inter-ested in on-campus living must file separate applications.

If granted, a housing license is valid for the current academic year/semester. While every effort is made to accommodate the housing needs of continuing students, the College does not warrant that a subsequent license will be issued beyond the current academic year/semester. In order to respond to the high demand for on-campus housing, students who have resided on campus for six (6) semesters may only remain in residence on-campus thereafter with the permission of the Director of Residential Life.

Students who reside on campus are required to attend classes on a full-time basis, and to carry a course schedule of classes that meets five (5) days per week, except with permission of the Director of Residential Life.

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

New Student Orientation is designed to familiarize students with the College and with the social and recreational re-sources in the area.

Orientation includes an introduction of the general education technological competency skills necessary to utilize various learning technologies, including knowledge of computer hardware and software, file management, word processing, spreadsheets, Internet, and email systems. It includes an overview of college policies and regulations, with emphasis on the development of self-management, career planning, and decision making skills.

Orientation events include a special schedule of informal small group meetings where freshmen may share opinions and plans with other students and faculty members in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Students are encouraged to participate in varied campus activities so that they may become well-adjusted members of the College community.

PERSONAL COUNSELING

The individuality of each student is a basic concern of the College. Every effort is made to provide an environment in which each student can develop his or her particular capabilities and interests to the fullest. The College Counseling Office provides personal counseling in a confidential setting to assist students in making decisions related to personal and academic situations. Referrals to outside professional agencies may be made in situations requiring more specialized counseling.

Five Towns College seeks applicants of high moral character who have the interest and potential to benefit from the educational opportunities afforded by its programs. The College encourages applications from students who will engage themselves fully in its creative community, and who will contribute to the academic discourse with honor and integrity. The College values students whose interests reflect curiosity and commitment, as well as excitement for the spirit of intellectual pursuits.

Prospective students must submit a completed Undergraduate Admission Application, official school transcripts, two letters of recommendation, a personal statement and any other needed documentation. There is an application fee of $35. The SAT-1 or ACT exam is required of all freshmen entering the College. In some cases, an interview may also be required.

PLACEMENT TESTSPlacement tests may be required for some entering students in order to place the student into the best academic setting. These tests are offered to students who may require more specialized programs of study at the college such as MORE, HEOP, PASS or SCOPE.

The Entrance test consist of five parts: Reading Comprehen-sion, Written Expression, Mathematics, Algebra and Essay

Auditions are another form of evaluation which are required of students who wish to be considered for the music and theatre arts degree programs. The audition process is described in the music and theatre audition requirement fact sheet.

STANDARDS FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONSAs an institution with a significant performing arts component, the College recognizes that the results from standardized tests and high school average grades do not necessarily predict the likelihood that prospective students will be successful at Five Towns College. While the College generally admits students who have attained the equivalent of an 80 high school average and combined SAT-1 scores of approximately 1400, the Admissions Office will consider the entirety of a candidate’s application before rendering a decision on admissions. In some cases students with lower scores may be admitted, and in some cases students with higher scores may not. Students submitting GED scores of at least 2500 are also invited to apply for admission.

The College is guided by a rolling admissions policy that encourages applications for admission to be filed at any time. Applicants seeking to begin their studies in any Fall semester are encouraged to file a complete application no later than May 1. Spring semester applicants should file by January 1. All supporting materials, including auditions and interviews, must be on file for an application to be deemed complete. Admissions decisions are generally made within four weeks.

EARLY DECISIONWell-qualified students for whom Five Towns College is their first choice, must submit their application, all supporting material, and meet audition and interview requirements on or before December 1. Students will be informed of the admissions decision within two weeks of receipt of all materials.

In order to apply for the Five Towns College Early Decision Program, students must sign the Early Decision Agreement stating that if accepted early, all other college applications will be withdrawn and the student will attend Five Towns College. Students contemplating Early Decision are encouraged to contact the admissions office to schedule an interview.

AUDITION AND INTERVIEW REQUIREMENTInterviews may be required when the documentation supplied by an applicant does not contain sufficient information upon which an admissions decision can be made. Students will be notified if an interview is required. Similarly, students who believe that the documentation contained in their application does not accurately reflect upon their readiness to pursue a particular program of study may request an interview to discuss their qualifications for admission. Interviews are granted at the discretion of the College. Admission into any music or theatre program may be contingent upon passing an audition. The most current audition requirements are available from the Admissions Office.

STUDENT RETENTION AND GRADUATION

Of the first time freshmen who entered a baccalaureate pro-gram in the Fall 2003 semester, 74% completed the program in 150% of the time normally allotted. Of those first time freshmen, 45% graduated from the College and 29% trans-ferred to another College for which their coursework at Five Towns College provided substantial preparation.

Of the new students who transferred to a baccalaureate program at Five Towns College for the Fall 2003 semester, 56% completed the program by the end of the Spring 2009 semester. Of those new transfer students, 34% graduated from the College and 22% transferred to yet another College for which their coursework at Five Towns College provided substantial preparation.

TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS LABOR MARKET

While a general shortage of teachers on a national and state-wide basis currently exists, the supply and demand for licensed teachers can vary greatly by subject, geographic area, and time period. Both the New York State Education Department and the New York City Education Department post online information regarding the job market for licensed teachers. Prospective, new and current students are advised to stay informed about the labor market supply and demand for licensed teachers in New York State by attending peri-odic job market seminars sponsored by both the Education Division and the Career Services Office, and by visiting the State and City Departments online at www.teachny.com and www.highered.nysed.gov. Print versions of the data published on these websites are available in the Education Division Office. Additional workforce and industry data is available online from the New York State Department of Labor at www.labor.state.ny.us.

Academic InformationThe College makes available the finest quality of instruc-tion. Students are expected to achieve appropriate levels of academic performance, to be knowledgeable about prereq-uisites for admission to specific courses, and to be aware of graduation requirements and College policies, procedures and regulations in the College's offical publications.

The Registrar's Office is responsible for the registration of students and the maintenance of all academic records and credentials. Students should address all requests and/or peti-tions about matters of academic standing to the Academic Standards Committee.

UNIT OF CREDIT

The semester hour is the unit of credit used by Five Towns College. One semester hour represents approximately three hours of study per week for one semester. For example, a course requiring three class recitations (50-minute periods) a week for a semester would receive three semester hours of credit. Credit for Major Instrument/Voice instruction is based on one lesson a week plus a minimum of six hours of individual practice.

GRADING SYSTEM

The College uses the following grading system:

GRADEGRADE QUALITY OF ACHIEVEMENT POINTS A Excellent .......................... 95-100 4.0 A- ......................................... 90-94 3.7 B+ ......................................... 87-89 3.3 B Good ................................ 84-86 3.0 B- ......................................... 80-83 2.7 C+ ......................................... 77-79 2.3 C Average ............................ 74-76 2.0 C- ......................................... 70-73 1.7 D+ ......................................... 65-69 1.3 D Poor .................................. 60-64 1.0 F Failure .............................. 0-59 0.0 WU Unofficial Withdrawal ..... 0.0 I Incomplete ....................... — W Official Withdrawal ......... — P Passing (Non-credit courses) — R Repeat (Non-credit courses) — AU Audit (Not For Credit) ..... — T Transfer Credit ................. —

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (G.P.A.)

Grade point averages are computed by multiplying the point value of each grade by the credits designated for each course. This gives the grade point total. The sum of these totals divided by the number of credits attempted gives the G.P.A. for the semester.

INCOMPLETE GRADES (I)

"I" is a grade recorded for a course in which a student has failed to complete certain work or has been absent from the final examination because of circumstances beyond his/her control. The written approvals of the Chairperson and Dean are required before an "I" grade may be given. An incom-plete not removed before the tenth week of the following semester becomes an "F". Responsibility for removing an "I" within this time limit rests with the student.

An "I" may also be awarded in any class where the level of proficiency in a core skill has not been demonstrated satisfactorily, in accordance with the Five Towns College Student Learning Assessment Plan.

REPEAT GRADES (R)

"R" is a grade given in non-credit courses for course require-ments not successfully completed.

DISTANCE LEARNING/ONLINE COURSES

Five Towns College reserves the right to offer a portion of each degree program in an online course format. In such cases, the College expects that students registering for these courses will supply their own computer and access to the Internet, as set forth in the Catalog section entitled “Computer Requirements.” The College also reserves the right to limit the number of online courses that any student may pursue wholly online. In order to ensure the integrity of online courses, the College may require students enrolled in online courses to present themselves at the College for a variety of reasons, including course orientation, and midsemester and final examinations.

OFFICIAL EMAIL NOTICES

All Five Towns College students are provided with an of-ficial email address when they initially register for College. Students are expected to check their official email box regularly for official notices and other important informa-tion from the College. Students will be deemed to have received notifications from the College transmitted to their email address.

107

MAKE-UP FINAL EXAMINATIONS

All requests for make-up of final examinations must be submitted in writing to the instructor for written approval. Should the instructor not be available, the Program Chairperson or the Provost may give their written approval. Such requests for make-up of final examinations should be submitted no later than two weeks after the date of the regular final examination. Permission to take a make-up examination is given only for compelling reasons, such as illness, a death in the family, or a breakdown in transportation.

Students with written permission to take a make-up examination should report to the Bursar's Office with the required fee. The receipt marked "Paid" must be presented before the student is permitted to take a make-up examination. The examination is held at a time and place designated by the administration.

REPEATING COURSES

Courses may be repeated once where a grade of F, WU, D+ or D has been earned. In such cases, the higher grade will be computed in the G.P.A. and the lower grade will remain on the transcript without credit or being computed in the cumulative G.P.A. Students who fail to earn a passing grade in a required course after two attempts may be required to withdraw from a program of study.

DISABILITY SERVICES

Five Towns College students who have a physical, medical, learning or psychiatric disability, either temporary or permanent, may receive reasonable accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. In order to establish eligibility for such accommodations, students are required to identify themselves, provide appropriate documentation, to the Registrar's Office and collaborate with the Academic Support Center in a timely manner to develop and follow an Accommodation Plan. Prospective students with handicapping conditions seeking admission to the College are urged to identify themselves early in the application process, and to consult with the Academic Support Center to ascertain whether or not their needs can be met by the College before reaching a decision.

AUDITING COURSES

A student may audit a course by obtaining written permis-sion from the Division Chair and registering for the course after paying the per credit fee. Audited courses may not be taken later for credit.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Credit by Examination is a method by which academic credit is awarded to recognize prior college-level learning. Credit by examination is not designed to merely recognize “life” experience. Credit by examination may only be awarded with the permission of the Vice President/Provost, and is a privilege available to full-time, matriculated students who have a significant record of accomplishment and competence in a particular academic subject area taught at Five Towns College. Students seeking Credit by Examination must have successfully completed a minimum of 15 credits at Five Towns College, have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, and be recommended by the Division Chair that offers the course or sequence of courses.

Page 109: Five Towns College Undergraduate 2010 -2011 Catalog

108

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

A student who believes that he or she has been personally ag-grieved or discriminated against by a staff or faculty member should first seek to resolve the problem through discussion with that individual. Failing a resolution of the matter, the student may then bring the matter in written form to the at-tention either of the chairperson of the program involved or the supervisor of the particular service or activity. A written response will be made within two weeks. If the student is dissatisfied with the decision, he/she may then appeal to the Vice President/Provost for redress.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Independent Study is available only to Seniors who need a specific required course to graduate within the senior year of study (the last 30/32 credits for the Bachelors Degree or the last 15/16 credits for the Associate Degree). The student is responsible for meeting the requirements listed on the Independent Study Guidelines and for the initiation and completion of the Independent Study Contract and Record, obtainable in the Registrar's Office.

MATRICULATION

Students who have been conditionally accepted to the College will be classified as matriculated for a degree after their transcripts from high schools and other Colleges (if any) are received and verified by the Registrar's Office. Students who interrupt their education by failing to register for any Fall or Spring semester lose their matriculated status and are required to file an Application for Readmission when they seek to return unless they have filed for and have been approved for a Leave of Absence.

STUDENT CONDUCT

Five Towns College seeks to provide and maintain a secure and wholesome educational environment for its students, faculty, and staff. In order to guarantee this environment and to safe-guard its ideals of scholarship, character, and student conduct, the College reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student at any time. In this event, a refund of fees may be made in accordance with the refund schedule of the College.

ACADEMIC STANDING

Students whose cumulative Grade Point Average falls below a 2.0 will be placed on probation and may be limited to no more than 12 credits per semester. Students will be removed from probation upon attaining the required G.P.A. A minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 is required for graduation.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS (AP)

Students may be eligible for credit for Advanced Placement (AP) examinations for which a grade of three (3) or better has been achieved. Examinations are administered to high school students in over a dozen different college subjects. Prospective students who have taken AP examinations, must provide the College with official score reports sent from the College Board to the Admissions Office during the admissions process. The College will only consider requests for AP credit when made by new students for examinations taken prior to matriculation. AP credit is not awarded to students after they have matriculated.

ATTENDANCE

Each student is expected to attend classes regularly to achieve maximum benefit from the educational program. He or she is responsible for all class work missed regardless of the reason(s) for absence. Excessive, unexplained absence may result in a lowered grade, especially when it affects participation in class activities. Absence from more than twenty percent of the total class meetings of a course may result in a failing grade.

INTERNSHIP COURSES

Internship courses provide students with on-the-job train-ing experience in the world of business. Students enrolled in BUS 471, 472 Internship 1, 2 spend at least 90 hours each semester as interns in the field and attend seminars at the College where they share their experiences with other students and the instructor.

WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES

Students who find it necessary to withdraw from a course or courses are required to notify their academic advisors, secure their approval, and complete all necessary forms. Program change fees must be paid in the Bursar's Office, and the completed forms must be presented to the Registrar's Office before a student can be considered officially withdrawn from a course or courses.

Students may withdraw from courses without penalty until the last day of class. During this time period, they will receive a "W," which is not computed in the grade point average.

A student who has not filed an official Withdrawal Form and who has been excessively absent will be assigned a grade of "WU" (Unofficial Withdrawal), which is equivalent to an "F" grade.

WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE

Students who find it necessary to withdraw from the College are required to notify their academic advisor in writing of the reason(s) for withdrawal and complete the required Withdrawal Form. This form is available in the Registrar's Office.

Failure to carry out the clearance procedures contained in the form will result in the withholding of all student records. Transcripts, information, and/or employment references will not be furnished until the Withdrawal Form has been com-pleted and official withdrawal status has been granted.

Official withdrawal status is based on the date of receipt and approval of a completed Withdrawal Form and not on the last date of attendance.

Students who withdraw from the College will receive grades in accordance with the procedures detailed above under Withdrawal From Courses. Returning students must file an Application for Readmission, and will be required to satisfy the degree requirements set forth in the most recent College Catalog.

PROGRAM CHANGES

Students may apply for program changes for valid reasons at the beginning of a semester.

To change a program, students are required to secure the approval of their academic advisor, complete an official Change of Program Request, pay the designated fee in the Bursar's Office, and file the completed form in the Registrar's Office. Such changes are not recorded on the transcript, and no change of program may be made after the first week of a semester.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Students who find it necessary to take a temporary leave of absence must file a Leave of Absence Application and seek approval of the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Committee. Recipients of financial aid, in the form of grants, scholarships, or loans, are reminded that a leave of absence does not in and of itself constitute a waiver of the College's Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress. A waiver must be applied for separately in accordance with published College policy. Students applying for a leave of absence for a semester in progress are cautioned to consult with the Financial Aid Office before making application. A Leave of Absence may be granted for one or two semesters depending on the circumstances. Returning students may be required to demonstrate continued proficiency in their major field.

READMISSION

Students who have interrupted their studies for any length of time without having been approved for a Leave of Ab-sence or who do not resume their studies at the expiration of an approved Leave of Absence are deemed to have sur-rendered their matriculated status. Students who have lost their matriculated status in this manner, or who have previ-ously been dismissed from the College for any reason, must file an Application for Readmission if they seek to return to the College. Unless permission is otherwise granted, re-admitted students are governed by the College Catalog in publication at the time of readmission.

SUBSTITUTION/WAIVER POLICY

Students may request permission to substitute or waive a degree program requirement. Approval of such a request is generally limited to situations where the substitute course contains the same or similar learning objectives as that offered by the required course, or where the application of a specific policy causes an unreasonable hardship with limited educational benefit. Course substitutions or waivers of other degree program requirements may also be requested in order to accommodate a documented learning disability.

In order to process a substitution or waiver request, the student must complete an Academic Waiver/Course Substitution Request form, have it signed by their Academic Advisor, and return the form to the Registrar’s Office together with supporting documentation. The request will then be reviewed by the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Committee. Requests of this nature may be approved solely at the discretion of the College, in the exercise of its educational judgment.

TRANSCRIPTS

A student copy of a Transcript of Record indicating scholastic standing is mailed to the student's home at the end of each semester. An official transcript bearing the seal of the Col-lege and the signature of the Registrar is mailed directly to institutions or persons at the student's written request.

STUDENT RIGHTS UNDER THE FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

Five Towns College fully complies with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The purpose of the Act is to protect the rights of students and to insure the privacy and accuracy of education records. Generally, students have the right to inspect and review certain of their education records within 45 days of the day the College re-ceives a request for access. They have the right to request the amendment of their education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Also, FERPA gives students the right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s educa-tion records, except to the extent that the law authorizes disclosure without consent.

FERPA permits the release of directory type information without the written consent of the student, provided the student has been given the opportunity to withhold such disclosure. Five Towns College considers the following to be directory type information: name, email address, address and telephone number (including local and permanent), date and place of birth; major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities, dates of attendance, de-grees and awards received, the most recent previous edu-cational institution attended by a student, student level and full/part-time status. Students who do not want this infor-mation released must give written notification to the Office of the Registrar.

Students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Five Towns College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The College provides annual notification to stu-dents of their rights under FERPA each year in the Col-lege’s catalogs and on the College website. Further, more information about FERPA is made available at the Office of the Registrar.

FULL-TIME COURSELOAD

Students who register for 12 or more credits are considered to be full-time students for that semester. Students who wish to register for more than the number of credits contained in the Recommended Sequence of Courses must obtain permis-sion in advance, unless they have a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 or are registering for their final semester. This regulation does not apply to one (1) credit Performance Ensembles. Except for performance ensembles, students will be charged the part-time student per credit charge for each credit above that published in the Recommended Sequence of Content. Students are advised to consult with the Bursar for exact charges prior to registering for extra-credits.

TRANSFER CREDIT

Generally, the Registrar evaluates credit earned at other insti-tutions soon after admission. To be eligible, final transcripts from all post-secondary institutions previously attended must be received before students have completed their first semester. For credit earned through traditional classroom work, evalu-ation is conducted on a course-by-course basis for all work in which grades of “C” or above have been earned.

Five Towns College routinely accepts credit from regionally accredited institutions of higher education. The College will also accept credits earned at institutions which are not regionally accredited on a case-by-case basis. In these instances, students must also furnish the College with a copy of the course descrip-tion for each course they seek to transfer, a copy of the transfer-ring institution’s catalog, and such other information as may be reasonably necessary to determine course equivalency.

Once matriculated at Five Towns College, students do not have the right to transfer credits to the institution, except as set forth herein. An undergraduate student who seeks to transfer credit from another institution after matriculation at Five Towns College must request approval in advance. Students should file a written request for permission to take courses at another institution with the Registrar at least six (6) weeks in advance. Such request should contain the rationale for taking courses at another institution, as well as a description of the course description as published by the school the student wishes to attend. No credit will be transferred without prior approval, nor will credit transfer for coursework with a grade below a “C”.

Credit may be available for courses sponsored by organizations which are recommended in the “Guide to Educational Programs in Non-Collegiate Organizations” of the State University of New York. The decision to award credit in such cases may be determined by the Vice President for Academic Affairs or the Curriculum and Instruction Committee.

GRADUATE CREDITS FOR BACHELOR'S DEGREEQualified seniors (those with a 3.25 or higher cumulative G.P.A.) may take graduate courses at the undergraduate tuition rate to complete the requirements for the bachelor's degree. A qualified student must have his/her advisor's and division chair's approval at the time of registration. The credits earned in these courses may not subsequently be applied toward graduate study.

Graduate courses require a significant increase in student effort hours that include, but are not limited to, more rigorous, expansive and demanding research projects and papers than courses taken for undergraduate credit.

GRADUATE COURSES Qualified seniors who need less than a full program to meet the requirements for the bachelor's degree may take, concurrently with their undergraduate program, a limited number of graduate courses for credit toward a graduate degree. These students must (1) fill out an application for admission (2) be accepted provisionally (3) declare their intention to take such courses for graduate credit.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTStudents must complete their last 30 credits in residence in order to be eligible for an Associate Degree and 60 credits for a Baccalaureate Degree.

SOPHOMORE STANDINGSophomore standing—that of a second-year student—is attained when a student has successfully completed a mini-mum of 27 credits.

JUNIOR STANDINGJunior standing—that of a third-year student—is attained when a student has successfully completed a minimum of 54 credits.

SENIOR STANDINGSenior standing—that of a fourth-year student—is attained when a student has successfully completed a minimum of 87 credits.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESSStudents who do not attain the minimum G.P.A. after two consecutive semesters will be considered not to be making satisfactory academic progress. Such students are subject to loss of matriculated status or dismissal unless a waiver is granted by the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Committee. Students who seek to return to the College after a loss of matriculated status must file an Application for Readmission. If approved, readmitted students are subject to the provisions of the College Catalog in effect at the time of readmission.

STUDENT LEARNING ASSESSMENTThe College recognizes that grades earned by students for completing coursework are composite scores that reflect student efforts in a wide-range of course-based initiatives assigned by faculty members each semester.

As it fulfills its mission, goals and objectives, the College also seeks to specifically assess student proficiencies (e.g. Written and Oral Communication) in a narrower range of course-based activities. The proficiencies that the College seeks to assess in this manner are more fully described in the Five Towns College Student Learning Assessment Plan, which is linked directly to the program-level mission and goals.

Regardless of course grade average, every student must successfully demonstrate their proficiency in each of the skills identified in the Student Learning Assessment Plan before a final course grade is awarded. Those students who have not successfully demonstrated proficiency with any skill specifically assessed by the Student Learning Assessment Plan may be awarded a grade of “I” for the course and required to demonstrate the required proficiency in a manner acceptable to the faculty before course credit is awarded.

Before entering into any program of study, students should familiarize themselves with the Mission and Goals of the College, as well as the Mission and Goals of each program of study they plan to pursue. The Five Towns College Student Learning Assessment Plan is available in the College Library and online at www.ftc.edu/SLAP.

ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIOSAll students entering into Five Towns College as of the Fall 2008 semester must maintain an electronic portfolio that documents the attainment of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required by the Student Learning Assessment Plan. Students are assessed a one-time fee for an Electronic Portfolio when they register for SCI 101 Information Literacy 1. The Electronic Portfolio will be maintained for a period of seven years. After that time, alumni may arrange to continue maintaining their Electronic Portfolio directly with the College’s third-party service provider for an additional fee.

INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGYThe College utilizes a variety of instructional technology appli-cations in the delivery of its educational programs and services. Nearly all courses utilize a hybrid instructional approach that blends traditional teaching methods with new online technologies. Not only does this hybrid approach improve the quality of the academic program, but it helps develop in students the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to engage in life-long learning. To meet this goal, the College couples Blackboard Learning Sys-tems with Smart Board Technologies in its classrooms. Electronic Portfolios are maintained by Pass-Port Learning Systems.

FINANCIAL AID PAYMENTS

The College will defer tuition payments for a student who has established eligibility for a grant or loan of equal amount. Moneys received by the College on behalf of a student will first be applied towards the student's tuition and housing. After the student's tuition and housing is paid in full, he/she will receive any balance. This arrangement does not apply to students on the Financial Aid Budget Plan.

The Financial Aid Budget Plan is an arrangement between the College and students receiving financial aid. Under this arrangement money is advanced on a monthly basis for direct education expenses. These expenses are limited to transportation, food, rent, and other items that enable a student to attend a college.

FREQUENCY OF FINANCIAL AID PAYMENTS

The sooner a student applies for financial aid, the sooner it may be credited to him/her or disbursed. The recommended filing date for returning students is March 31st for the Fall semester. All other students are urged to apply at least eight weeks prior to the beginning of the semester of attendance. Money from entitlement programs such as Federal Pell, ACG, TAP and Federal SEOG are usually credited to a student once each semester. Loans are always disbursed in two payments for each loan period.

REFUNDS INVOLVING FINANCIAL AID

When a refund request is approved by the College Commit-tee on Refunds for a student who has received financial aid, portions of the financial aid obtained must first be returned by the College to the appropriate agencies.In such a disbursement, moneys received from Title IV programs, such as Federal Direct Loans, Pell, and FSEOG, must be returned to the appropriate Title IV programs and will be calculated as follows:

Title IV Financial Aid Earned multiplied by (X) % to be retained (based on completed number of days) AMOUNT RETAINED BY SCHOOL

Title IV Financial Aid Disbursed subtracted by (—) Financial Aid Retained AMOUNT DUE TITLE IV PROGRAMS

Five Towns College recognizes that many students who are qualified and deserving may hesitate to apply for admission because of economic circumstances. However, no student or prospective student who wishes to enroll at the College should fail to apply for this reason. After discussing the matter with the College's financial aid administrator, the student may discover that a way can be found to overcome the problem of inadequate funds.

A student's financial need is determined by subtracting the amount of the family's resources available for college expenses from the estimated cost of attending the College. In order to meet a student's financial need, the financial aid administrator may suggest a package of aid that includes a scholarship, a part-time job, and a loan or grant from the state or federal governments.

To help prospective students understand the various kinds of assistance that may be available to them, descriptions of the three types of sources of financial help are given below. Prospective students should read these carefully to see how they apply in individual cases. Knowing the facts, they will be in a better position to discuss their problem of financial need with the College's financial aid administrator and to find a solution to their problem.

ESTIMATED EXPENSES

Students should make a realistic estimate of the expenses for the academic year. These expenses should include tuition, fees, transportation, food, housing, and personal and recre-ational costs. A typical budget for a commuter student living at home would be $31,714 while that for students living in the dorm or on their own could approximate $37,264.

In the above estimated budgets, about $1,200 is set aside for textbooks, manuals, and consumable supplies, such as notebooks and score paper for the academic year.

Resident students should be prepared to spend approximately $4,000 for a double room each semester. A minimum manda-tory food plan will cost approximately $2,200 per semester. Resident students should expect to pay approximately $400 per semester for additional related fees.

STANDARD OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS — FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR STUDENT AID

Students who are not maintaining satisfactory academic progress and pursuit of program according to established guidelines are not eligible for Federal Title IV, New York State financial aid and some private scholarships administered by Five Towns College. Federal Title IV aid includes the Federal College Work-Study, Federal Direct Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized), Federal Parent Loan (PLUS), Federal PELL Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). New York State awards include Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), the Higher Educational Opportunity Program (HEOP) and all other programs through New York State Higher Educa-tion Services Corporation.

FEDERAL CRITERIA AND REQUIREMENTS

Upon matriculation at the College, a student must make satisfac-tory academic progress consistent with the College’s Catalog and the U.S. Department of Education regulations. Every semester is taken into account when measuring a student’s progress, whether they received Federal Financial Aid or not.

Students are expected to complete their program of study within 150% of the time required as published in the College Catalog. At the end of each semester a student must have earned hours equal to at least 67% of the cumulative hours attempted. After attempting more than 48 credits a student must have a cumulative CGPA of 2.0.• Attempted hours are defined as the hours for which the stu-

dent is enrolled and charged by the 7th day of the semester. All credits attempted whether transfer credits or due to a change of major are taken into consideration.

• Earned hours are defined as the sum of hours which a student has earned a grade of A, B, C, or D. Withdrawals, Incompletes, Audits and Failures are not earned hours. An ‘Incomplete’ must be graded prior to the start of the next semester to be considered earned for Federal Financial Aid purposes.

• The higher grade of a repeated ‘F’ or ‘WU’ will be consid-ered in calculating the student’s CGPA.

As the student progresses in their degree program, the stu-dent must remember that credits not earned each semester according to the overall required timeframe (i.e., six years for Baccalaureate programs) will make it increasingly dif-ficult to complete their program of study on time and not possible to withdraw from any future courses for which that student is registered.

A student who fails to maintain the needed cumulative GPA or meet the completion rate requirements is placed on finan-cial aid probation for one semester. A letter will be sent to

It should be noted that when using the chart, only semesters that a student receives a TAP payment are considered. Also, students who have received four semester payments of New York State TAP (24 payment points) MUST have a 2.00 cumulative index. This includes students who may have received TAP payments at another college prior to enrolling at Five Towns College. Students who are denied an award for failing to achieve a cumulative GPA of C can regain award eligibility by completing appropriate coursework—without state support—to achieve a cumulative GPA of C. Students cannot regain eligibility by remaining out of school for a period of time.

Repeated Courses and Financial AidNew York State regulations mandate that if a student repeats a course in which a passing grade acceptable to the institution has been received previously, the course cannot be included as part of the student’s full-time course load for New York State financial aid purposes. However, when a failed course is repeated it may count toward full-time study.

the student. The student may continue to receive financial assistance during the probationary period. At the end of the probationary period the student will:

• Be removed from probationary status because both cumula-tive GPA and completion rate standards are met; or

• Be suspended from receiving assistance from federal and institutional sources and will receive a Financial Aid Sus-pension Letter. The students will no longer be eligible for Federal Financial Aid until they have taken classes, using their own funding, and have raised their cumulative GPA and completion rate to meet the necessary standards.

Page 118: Five Towns College Undergraduate 2010 -2011 Catalog

117

Withdrawals and Leaves of Absence and Financial AidStudents who received New York State aid for a semester from which they withdraw or take a leave of absence and do not earn any academic credit are not considered to be meet-ing the state’s pursuit of program requirements and will not be eligible to receive state aid the following semester. The courses taken by a student that withdraws or takes a leave of absence during a semester is considered attempted but not completed in determining Federal aid eligibility.

Incomplete Grades and Financial AidA student with incomplete courses at the end of the semester must complete the coursework prior to the start of the next semester or may lose federal or state financial aid eligibility. If a student completes these courses during the next semester and regains academic progress, federal and state aid may be reinstated upon student request.

FINANCIAL AID APPEAL PROCEDURE

If it has been determined that a student is not maintaining satisfactory academic progress and/or pursuit of program because the student failed to meet one or all of the institu-tion’s requirements, the student must obtain a waiver form from the registrar’s office. After completing the form and submitting it with necessary documentation, the Academic Standards Committee will review the appeal and the student will be notified of the decision. The following types of information may be considered in determining whether the student is eligible to be considered for a waiver:

• serious illness to student or immediate family• death of immediate family member• extreme personal emotional stress• serious and/or unusual personal circumstances (not already

mentioned above)

Documentation must be provided of the unusual orextraordinary circumstance that caused the student to notmeet the necessary SAP criteria.

A student may provide a statement from an academic advisor supporting the plan for academic recovery.

A student is allowed only one New York State TAP waiver. A student failing to meet Federal SAP requirements may appeal once.

The committee may recommend to the student that he/she seek to regain eligibility without the use of a waiver by registering in one or more selected courses to increase the number of ac-crued credits and/or the grade point average. This procedure requires that tuition be paid for with personal funds.

WILLIAM D. FORD FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM

Selection of Recipients and Allocation of Awards: Stu-dents may qualify for a "subsidized" loan, which is based on financial need. Students may also obtain an "unsubsidized" loan regardless of need—that is, regardless of their fam-ily's income. To be eligible for a guaranteed loan a student must be: (1) a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien; (2) enrolled in or admitted as a matriculated, at least half-time student at an approved college, university or other postsec-ondary institution; (3) have been determined to be eligible or ineligible for a Federal Pell Grant; (4) in good academic standing and making satisfactory academic progress; (5) not in default of a previous student loan; (6) if applicable, registered with selective service; and (7) assigned a social security number.

Loan Schedule: A freshman may borrow up to $3,500. A sophomore may borrow up to $4,500. Juniors and seniors may borrow up to $5,500 per year. All undergraduate students may borrow an additional $2,000 unsubsidized loan per year.

Independent students may borrow an additional unsubsidized loan of $4,000 per year during their freshman and sophomore years, and $5,000 per year during their junior and senior years.

Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans—The federal government pays the interest on a subsidized loan while the student is in school and during specified deferments. Students must demonstrate financial need to receive loans.

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans—Students can get unsubsidized loans regardless of need but will have to pay all interest charges.

Online Direct Loan Servicing: Keep track of your Direct Loans. studentloans.gov

Responsibilities of All Student Loan Recipients: Repayment by the student begins 6 months after the student has graduated or ceased to be enrolled at least half-time, that is, for at least 6 credits. You may choose to repay Direct Subsidized Loans and/or Direct Unsubsidized Loans through one of these four repayment plans:

• Standard Repayment Plan, • Extended Repayment Plan, • Graduated Repayment Plan, or • Income Contingent Repayment Plan

You must repay all your Direct Subsidized and Direct Un-subsidized Loans under the same type of repayment plan. If you do not choose a repayment plan, your loans will be placed in the Standard Repayment Plan. A minimum repay-ment of $50 plus interest per month is required.

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY GRANTS (FSEOG)

Application Procedures: Application is made through the College Financial Aid Office, which determines who receives a Supplemental Grant and the amount. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is used to apply for this grant.

Selection of Recipients and Allocation of Awards: FSEOG grants are available to exceptionally needy full-time and part-time (at least half-time) students, who have the lowest expected family contributions as determined by the students' financial aid application.

Award Schedule: The award for a full academic year ranges from $100 to $4,000. Normally an award may be paid for up to four years, or for five years for certain courses of study.

Rights and Responsibilities of Recipients: The student must continue to make satisfactory academic progress as defined in the College catalog.

FEDERAL WORK-STUDY PROGRAMS (FWS)

Application Procedures: Application is made through the College Career Center and the College Financial Aid Office. Eligibility is determined and work arrangements are made at this point.

Selection of Recipients and Allocation of Awards: The applicant must be enrolled at least half-time in an approved post-secondary institution.

An institution must make employment reasonably available to all eligible students in the institution who are in need of financial aid. In the event that more students are eligible for FWS than there are funds available, preference is given to students who have great financial need and who must earn a part of their educational expenses.

Award Schedule: The postsecondary institution arranges jobs both on campus and off campus with public or private nonprofit agencies, such as libraries and hospitals, for up to 20 hours per week.

Factors considered by the Financial Aid Office in determining whether, and how many hours, the recipient may work under this program are: financial need; class schedule; academic progress; and health status.

Level of salary must be at least the minimum wage, maximum wage is dependent on the nature of the job and applicant qualifications.

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION (VA) EDUCATION-AL BENEFITS

Many programs of educational assistance benefits are avail-able to those who have served in the active military, naval or air service and to their dependents. Detailed information on all veterans' benefits and assistance in applying for benefits can be obtained from offices of the Veterans Administration. http://www.gibill.va.gov

OTHER FEDERAL STUDENT FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS

There are a variety of special-purpose Federal programs: direct aid, scholarship, loans, traineeships. Many are ad-ministered through specific institutions of postsecondary education, and for this reason the financial aid office is the best single source of information on the subject.

Information about additional federal programs are listed on the Web at http://www.studentaid.ed.gov and http://www.ed.gov or are available from the U.S. Department of Educa-tion, 400 Maryland Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 10102-0498 or by calling 1-800-USA-LEARN.

PERFORMING ARTS FOUNDATION

The Dix Hills Center for the Performing Arts Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation organized to benefit and enhance the quality of services to students at the College. Charitable contributions to the Foundation, both monetary and non-monetary, are tax deductible in accordance with IRS guidelines. These resources are used to fund scholarships, provide cultural programs, and other educational activities.

Direct Subsidized Loan interest rates for undergraduate borrowers with a first disbursement between 7/1/2010 and 6/30/2011 will have a fixed interest rate os 4.5%.

The reduced rate apply only to Direct Subsidized Loans made to undergraduate students; any Direct Unsubsidized Loan for all undergraduate borrowers would continue to be made at 6.8%.

Students who graduate or fail to maintain at least half-time status and who have participated in the Federal Family Education and/or William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program must have an exit interview. This interview will include but will not be limited to, information concerning terms of repayment, debt management, counseling, and deferment eligibility.

PARENT LOANS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Federal Direct PLUS Loans—Parents with good credit histories, who want to borrow on behalf of their dependent students, may apply for a PLUS Loan.

Parents of financially dependent students may now borrow up to the difference between the Cost of Education and any estimated Financial Aid to be received. The interest rate for new parent loans is 7.9% with a 9% cap. Financial need is not a requirement for a PLUS loan. However, the amount borrowed in any year cannot exceed educational costs less all other financial aid received.

Application Procedures: To apply for a Federal Direct PLUS loan, the dependent student's parents must complete a separate Federal Direct PLUS application and sign a Master Promissory Note, available at https://studentloans.gov. Par-ent PLUS loan borrowers whose funds were first disbursed on or after July 1, 2008, have the option of delaying their repayment on the PLUS loan either 60 days after the loan is fully disbursed or six months after the dependent student is not enrolled at least half-time. During this time, interest may be paid by the parent or capitalized.

Rights and Responsibilities of Recipients: Satisfactory academic progress must be maintained as defined in the College catalog for all Federal Programs.

Because of continuing changes in Federal and State regulations, students should check with the Financial Aid Office regarding the latest official information about these programs, or when they have any question or concern about eligibility criteria.
