he Palm Beach Community College Catalog is produced to
serve as an information and reference guide, dealing with
most aspects of the College including policies, facilities,
degree and certificate programs, course offerings, services
and personnel. Since the statements contained in the
Catalog are for informational purposes only, it should not be
considered the basis of a contract between the institution
and the student.

Generally, the provisions outlined in the Catalog are applica-
ble as stated, but PBCC reserves the right to initiate changes
including, but not limited to, academic requirements for
graduation, without direct notification to individuals.

Mindful of its responsibility to students, the College is com-
mitted to make every possible effort to keep students
informed of any changes.

Though the College Catalog is produced as a reference
guide, it is important for each student to assume ultimate
responsibility to keep himself/herself apprised of current
requirements for graduation for a particular degree program.

CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION 9

TER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

HISTORY

Palm Beach Junior College became Florida's first publii
ry college in 1933 as the result of a number of conferences among
civic leaders led by Joe Youngblood, county superintendent of public
schools, and Howell L Watkins, principal of Palm Beach High
School. In the beginning, it was a co-educational, day-student junior
college with primary emphasis on preparation for upper-division work
in colleges and universities. For the first 15 years, the College sched-
uled classes at Palm Beach High School, where Watkins served as
dean of the College, as well as principal of the high school.

In February of 1948, under the leadership of its first
president, John I. Leonard, the College moved to a 21 -acre site at
Morrison Field, which is now Palm Beach International Airport. In
1951, the College moved to the Lake Park Town Hall, where it carried
on a curtailed program for five years.

The Palm Beach County Commission donated the College's pre-
sent 114-acre Lake Worth site in 1956, and the Florida Legislature
voted $1,047,000 for buildings. It was at this time that the College
began to build its first permanent campus.

In 1958, Mr. Leonard retired, and Dr. Harold C. Manor assumed
the duties of president. Under Dr. Manor's leadership, the College
experienced tremendous growth in enrollment, staff, course offerings
and services. Additionally, many technical/vocational courses and
programs were developed.

In 1965, the Board of Public Instruction merged Roosevelt Junior
College with Palm Beach Junior College. The merger ofthis West Palm
Beach institution, headed by Britton G. Sayles, brought its properties,
students and six faculty members to Palm Beach junior College.

In the early 1970s, attendance centers opened in Belle Glade, Boca
Raton and northern Palm Beach County.

In the spring of 1971, selected courses for PBJC South were first
offered on the Florida Atlantic University campus. A formalized agree-
ment was enacted in fall of 1973, bringing the South Center into exis-
tence.

In June of 1976, ground breaking for the first buildings at PBJC
Glades took place. Classes began in the new facility in January of
1978.

In 1978, after 21 years of outstanding leadership, Dr. Manor
retired; and Dr. Edward M. Eissey became the College's third presi-
dent.

Ground breaking for the first building at PBJC North, on a 108-
acre campus on PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, took place
in July of 1 980, and first-phase buildings were opened for use in June
of1982.

In the fall term of 1983, PBJC South used portable classroom
buildings located on a site leased from Florida Atlantic University in
Boca Raton. In 1 986, state funding for the first permanent classroom
building was provided.

In 1988, Palm Beach Junior College changed its name to Palm
Beach Community College to reflect more accurately the broad scope
of programs and services.

In 1996, Dr. Eissey announced plans to retire after 18 years as
PBCC's CEO, and Dr. G. Tony Tate was named as president on an
interim basis. Dr. Tate, PBCC's former vice president of administra-
tion and business affairs, had served the College for over 39 years. In
May 1 997, Dr. Dennis P. Gallon was named PBCC's fourth president.

PBCC's original site, which was part of Palm Beach High School in
West Palm Beach is being used for classes in the downtown area.

Over the years, Palm Beach Community College built a reputation
for quality education in Palm Beach County. The College offers asso-
ciate in arts degrees and two-year Associate in Science degrees as well
as certificate programs.

Presently, PBCC is expanding its education and training efforts in
the field of workforce development. Additionally, the College's com-
mitment to distance learning now includes courses on television and
the Internet. In another move to keep pace with changing technolo-
gies, PBCC began offering telephone registration in 1997, and plans
to offer Internet registration in the near future.

award the associate in arts and associate in science degrees.

for certain specific programs. This is noted in the Catalog on pages
where the program is outlined. The absence of such a notation indi-
cates that professional accreditation has neither been sought nor
granted.

PALM BEACH COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DISTRICT

Locations

Courses are offered at four campus locations and a variety of
attendance centers located throughout Palm Beach County. Each
campus offers general education courses; however, certain programs
may be available at one location only.

Central Campus

The Central Campus, located on Congress Avenue in Lake Worth,
is PBCC's largest and longest-established campus. It is bordered by
beautiful Lake Osborne and John Prince Park, and has accommodat-
ed the educational needs of the community for over 39 years.

The 1 14-acre campus offers an extensive selection of majors lead-
ing to an associate in arts degree for those planning on transferring
to universities, associate in science degrees and certificates for those
pursuing technical fields and certificate programs. In addition, the
campus offers a wide variety of non-credit classes
through the continuing studies department. Among
the many programs available at the Central Campus,
nursing, paramedic, dental health, hospitality/food
service, early childhood, criminal justice, plumbing'
and electrical apprenticeship, drafting, interior
design, graphic design and real estate programs have
attracted many students from the community as well
as the nation.

The spacious Watson B. Duncan III Theatre serves
as Central Campus' performing arts instructional
facility and hosts a variety of cultural and entertain-
ment events for the general public.

Panther Park, a new student apartment hous
community that can accommodate over 600 individ-
uals, is now available to students interested in walk-
ing or biking to and from the Central Campus.

South Campus

Since 1971, Palm Beach Community College has
been serving the greater south Palm Beach County
area from its campus in Boca Raton, conveniently
located adjacent to Florida Atlantic University. Many
students take advantage of the unique partnership
between the two institutions to earn a baccalaureate
degree at one location.

PBCC South Campus provides students with state-
of-the-art classrooms and laboratory facilities, a
gymnasium and fitness center and full-use privileges
at the FAU library. Many of the award-winning facul-
ty at South Campus have been recognized regionally
and nationally for teaching and research excellence.

enrichment workshops. At PBCC South Campus, you
will find: small classes, flexible scheduling, personal-
ized advisement, professional instruction, leading-
edge computer training, dual enrollment with area
high schools and FAU. Courses are taught using mul-
timedia, interactive, and on-line instruction. The col-
lege of tomorrow is here today in Boca Raton.

12 PBCC CATALOG 1999-2000

It is the desire of Palm Beach Community College to provide
broad opportunities for the intellectual and cultural development of
students in an atmosphere of order and respect. The Student
Services office works in partnership with academic affairs and other
components of the College in developing programs and activities to
meet this end. Various student services are available on each cam-
pus, with the Vice President of Student Services giving district-wide
leadership and direction in this area.

One condition of enrollment at the College is that the student
maintains good deportment and is law-abiding. The Vice President
of Student Services and campus provosts, with the assistance of the
Deans of Student Services and other college personnel, are respon-
sible for interpreting and enforcing school policies, rules and
regulations that apply to students.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

On the Central Campus, arrangements for academic advising will
be made for all Associate in Arts students. Associate in Science
students will be advised by Program Advisors. On other campuses,
students are advised by student services' counselors, advisors and
program managers.

At orientation, advice and information will be given to the stu-
dent regarding what subjects are necessary to pursue a certain
major, as well as graduation requirements. During the school year,
academic advisors will be available to assist students in working out
academic programs.

Students are encouraged to maintain contact with academic
advisors in order to be certain they are taking the courses necessary
to graduate or transfer to their preferred university. Students bear
the ultimate responsibility for course selection (also see the PBCC
Website at www.pbcc.cc.fl.us).

ATHLETICS

The College has varsity intercollegiate athletic teams for women in
basketball, volleyball and softball and for men in basketball and
baseball. Membership in the Florida Junior College Conference and
the National Junior College Athletic Association largely determines
policies and procedures by which the athletics program operates. The
program provides an opportunity for good competition, develop-
ment of skills and experiences in self-discipline and cooperation for
the highly skilled student. Students with disabilities are encouraged to
try out for teams on which they might successfully participate.

CAREER PLANNING AND JOB PLACEMENT
Career Planning: These resources include career counselors, inter-
active computer programs, personality inventories, seminars, and
career libraries documenting current trends in employment markets.
Students get objective information about their interests, abilities,
and values related to occupations. This information facilitates the
decision of a career goal which in turn guides the choice of a college
major leading to this goal. Career planning resources are available
on all four campuses. Contact the Student Services Counseling
office on each campus for the specific location and hours the career
planning services are available.

Job Placement: A related resource to career planning is job place-
ment. These services provide current listings of jobs in the local
area. Both full and part time, the job listings reflect entry level
opportunities for training programs offered here at PBCC as well as
more general employment suited to students' schedules. Job Fairs
are held throughout the year to bring employers face to face with
student job seekers. Job Placement is one link in an employment
referral network including PBCC faculty and the State Employment
office. Job Placement services include developing strategies such as
locating desirable "hidden" jobs; identifying attractive employers;
capitalizing on trends in employment; resume writing to get an
interview; and interviewing to get an offer of employment.
Counseling, seminars, audio-visual, computer, and pamphlet
resources are used to develop these techniques. Contact the
Student Services Counseling office on each campus for the location
and hours of these services (also see the PBCC Website at
www.pbcc.cc.fl.us).

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Student Government

Each of the campuses has a student government group: Student
Government Association (SGA) on Central, Glades and South cam-
puses; and Student Activity Committee on the Edward M. Eissey
Campus. These groups are designed to provide guidance and direc-
tion to the student body, develop student programs and activities
and promote student involvement, develop positive working rela-
tionships between various segments of the College and provide stu-
dents with opportunities to develop and exercise leadership skills.
Each government group elects an executive committee that does
much of the planning for the organization. Students are encouraged
to become active participants in the student government body.
Contact your campus student services office for more information.

Student Organizations

Palm Beach Community College offers assistance in the forma-
tion and official recognition of clubs and other organizations of stu-
dents, faculty and alumni who have interests in common. There are
well-defined procedures for the establishment and sanctioning of a
special interest group. A list of such groups now sanctioned is print-

DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES

Palm Beach Community College is committed to providing full
access to all programs, services, and facilities for qualified individu-
als with disabilities as mandated by Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and by the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.

Please be aware that services and accommodations are not auto-
matic. It is the responsibility of the student or prospective student
to notify the Disability Support Services office at his/her individual
campus of the need for modifications and to provide appropriate
written verification by a qualified professional in support of the
disability claim. Services cannot be authorized until the documen-
tation has been verified and the student has officially registered with
the Disability Support Service (DSS) office.

This voluntary self-declaration procedure is independent from
the admissions process itself, and all disability records are treated as
confidential and kept separately in the DSS office.

Students with disabilities are, therefore, encouraged to meet with
the disability service representative on their campus before registra-
tion. This advisor will assist with course selection, accommodation
needs, and also will coordinate many other campus resources to
best meet the educational needs of students with disabilities.

STUDENT PUBLICATION

The Beachcomber, the College newspaper, is published bimonth-
ly. Although experience is preferred, a limited number of inexperi-
enced students are accepted as trainees. Students receive practical,
on-the-job training in the fields of reporting, advertising, editing,
photography and business management. The Beachcomber has
earned many state and national awards in recent years. The
Beachcomber office is located on the Central Campus.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

All regulations and policies pertaining to student conduct are
listed in the Student Handbook. Copies are available in the student
services office on each campus.

HEALTH SERVICES

PBCC addresses the continuously changing health care needs of
its College population with the Clinic which is housed in the Paul
Glynn Building on the Lake Worth campus, and which is staffed by
a part-time registered nurse. Clinic hours currently are Monday
through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (561-439-8066).
Any changes in operating hours will be posted at the Clinic. Services
available include non-emergency health care, treatment of minor
injuries, referral services and the promotion of disease prevention
and health-related information.

Additionally, though the clinic a range of services and activities
is coordinated at each of the four campuses.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS): AIDS is a termi-
nal disease with no known cure. The underlying-pathology of AIDS
is a breakdown of the body's immune system. The greatest risk of
becoming infected lies in the sharing of intravenous needles and
syringes or exposure through intimate contact with someone who is
HIV positive or has AIDS. There is no evidence that AIDS can be
spread by casual contact. For further information about AIDS and
how to safeguard yourself against this fatal disease, contact one of
the student services counselors.

AIDS Policy: The College will allow students with Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), AIDS Related Complex (ARC) or
those testing positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) to
participate in any student programs unless it can be demonstrated
that such students are a direct threat to other students, employees
or the general public.

If it is determined that a student who has AIDS, ARC or has test-
ed HIV positive appears to pose a threat to other persons, the con-
dition will be reviewed by a College committee consisting of the Vice

President of Student Services; two College employees in the health
care field; and one other administrator, counselor or faculty mem-
ber appointed by the president. The committee will review the facts
and recommend to the president whether or not action should be
taken. The committee will consider "reasonable accommodation" if
it is determined that some type of action is required.

The committee will take reasonable measures to safeguard the
confidentiality of medical records or other information it has
obtained.

The Student Handbook will provide information related to AIDS
education or specify where additional AIDS education may be
obtained.

Measles Immunization: It is strongly recommended that all stu-
dents under the age of 35 years, who have not had measles (rubel-
la) or who were immunized for this disease before 1965, obtain
measles immunization prior to attending college. Immunization can
be obtained in the following Health Department clinics from 2 to 4
p.m., Monday through Friday:

Delray Beach

Lake Worth

Belle Glade

Riviera Beach

West Palm Beach

Accidents and Illness: All accidents should be reported to a College
official immediately. In case of injury or illness, competent first aid
should be sought immediately. Call the campus security or the
office of Student Services or, if the situation warrants, call for para-
medic emergency assistance by dialing 911.

HOUSING

Student housing is available at Panther Park, located at Second
Avenue North, Lake Worth. The site is 1/4 mile north of Central
Campus. The townhouse-style housing, consisting of four bedroom
units, accommodates 640 students. Each unit is completely fur-
nished and carpeted and has a living room, dining area, kitchen
with all appliances, 2-1/2 baths, full-size washer and dryer.

One student occupies each bedroom on an individual lease basis.
Phone jacks are in each bedroom and cable TV is available. A club-
house, swimming pool and volleyball court are all on the premises.
Housing is for students. Leases are available at the Panther Park
Clubhouse. For further information, please call (561) 582-9100.

INSURANCE

Inasmuch as the College assumes no responsibility should an acci-
dent occur, students are encouraged to make sure they have ade-
quate insurance to take care of any medical expenses they might
incur. Student Health Insurance forms may be picked up from the
Clinic at the Lake Worth campus or from the contact person in
Counseling at the other three campuses. The College acts only as the
dissemination point for these brochures. All arrangements for pay-
ment and claims are made between the student and the Insurance
carrier. Insurance is mandatory for all students on an F-1 visa.
Contact the international student office for more information.

INTRAMURAL AND RECREATIONAL
ACTIVITIES

Intramural and recreational activities are sponsored by student
services. These activities represent a broad selection of individual
and team sports. Opportunities are available for students to partic-
ipate in all phases of the intramural program, including planning
and organizing, competing and officiating.

CHAPTER 2 - STUDENT SERVICES 15

CHAPTER 2 -STUDENT

TESTING SERVICES

Various testing programs for students are provided on each cam-
pus. A variety of national and state exams for students such as the
CLEP, E-ACT, SAT-I, FCELPT, CLAST, TABE, and CELT are admin-
istered. Application and information for these and other tests are
available in the student services testing center on each campus.
NOTE: A Photo ID is required for all testing services. See Chapter
4 for detailed Testing information. For testing fees see page29.

VETERANS AFFAIRS

The College is state-approved for veterans training. Veterans and
eligible dependents who plan to attend under any of the various vet-
erans' training laws should apply through the veterans' section of
the financial aid office.

Upon enrollment, veterans and veteran-dependents are required
to pay all regular fees and charges just as other students; the excep-
tions are precertified Chapter 31 students (disabled vets under
vocational rehabilitation). Any VA student may receive one defer-
ment per academic year to pay his/her fees by completing the
appropriate forms at the veterans section of the financial aid office.
Veterans who choose to defer their fees and fail to pay by the due
date will be treated as other students who fail to pay fees. Upon cer-
tification by the College and Veterans Administration, an educa-
tional allowance is paid monthly to the student for training time
computed as follows in table 2-1.

4. Policies relative to standards of conduct and progress required
of the student are enforced. These include, but are not limited
to, placing students on academic probation when their quality
point average is below that indicated in table 2-2.

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS FOR VETERAN
STUDENTS

Palm Beach Community College has established the following
standards of progress for all veterans or eligible persons receiving
VA benefits to comply with Veterans Administration regulations:

1. Complete academic records are maintained on each veteran
who is certified as eligible for benefits under the public laws. The
records must show continuous pursuit of a degree and the rate
at which progress is being made. They include final grades in
each subject for each term, record of withdrawal from any sub-
ject to include the last day of attendance for a course and record
of enrollment in subjects from which there was a withdrawal.

2. Complete academic records are maintained on previous college-
level academic training, and these records indicate the amount
of credit accepted which proportionately shortens the training
period. The record is cumulative in that it shows the results of
each term of enrollment, subjects taken and grades earned.

3. A veteran or other eligible student will be subject to the atten-
dance criteria covered elsewhere in this Catalog.

5. If the appropriate quality point average has not been attained
after one semester on probation, the Veterans Administration
will be notified that the student is making unsatisfactory
progress and that educational benefits should be discontinued.
Notice of changes in enrollment status are also sent when a stu-
dent withdraws during a term or changes status.

6. Unsatisfactory progress will be reported when a student accu-
mulates punitive grades (F's) equivalent to more than the mini-
mum number of credit hours considered to be full time (12).

It is the responsibility of the veteran to advise the veterans affairs
office of any changes in status, i.e., address, withdrawal from class, etc.
The coordinator of veterans affairs is located in the financial aid office.

STUDENT RETENTION AND COMPLETION

Information about student retention and completion in each of
the academic programs is available to students in the Student
Services offices and division chairpersons' offices. The availability of
this information satisfies the federal requirement regarding dissem-
ination of student consumer information.

RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES POLICY

The College shall make reasonable accommodation in admis-
sions, class attendance, scheduling of examinations and work
assignments in regard to religious observances, practices and beliefs
of individual students, as required by Florida law.

Students are required to make arrangements in writing with
teachers and other appropriate College personnel at least one week
prior to an anticipated religious observance.

A student who is denied accommodation may appeal in writing
to the supervisor of the faculty or staff member who denied the
request within 10 class days from the time of the denial. If the stu-
dent is not satisfied with the determination at this level, an appeal
may be made to the next level of academic management. To expe-
dite the process, the maximum time period between all appeals and
responses will be 10 class days.

The student may appeal to the Dean of Student Services for a
committee hearing if the student is not satisfied with the results of
the preceding steps. The committee, to be appointed by the Vice
President of Student Services, will hear the facts and provide a rec-
ommendation to the Vice President of Student Services, whose deci-
sion on the matter shall be final.

16 CHAPTER 3

FINANCIAL

The Office of Financial Aid at Palm Beach Community College
aspires to help students secure the resources necessary to pursue a
post-secondary education, while striving to control excessive educa-
tional indebtedness at the community college level. We are chal-
lenged to find a reasonable mix of family funds and student aid
funds to assist with educational costs.

In our effort to accomplish this mission we:

• set departmental goals that reflect and support the goals and
mission of our institution

• award aid to students according to financial need, as deter-
mined by federal methodology

• allow for flexibility in institutional policy to consider unusual cir-
cumstances, knowing that each student's financial situation is
unique

• play a pro-active role for the purpose of providing an under-
standing of financial aid

• provide information to ensure that the student understands his
or her rights and responsibilities

• offer guidance in financial and academic matters, especially as
they relate to satisfactory academic progress

• serve students with sensitivity, courtesy, and timeliness

• facilitate student access and student success

Types of aid available at PBCC include grants, scholarships, work-
study programs and student loans. Grants are awarded on the basis
of financial need and do not have to be repaid. Scholarships do not
have to be repaid and are awarded for various reasons including
merit, talent and need. The work-study program allows students to
earn money for their education through on-campus or community
service jobs. Loans are available to parents and students and must
be paid back according to the terms of the loan agreement. For
detailed information on the financial aid programs offered at PBCC,
please refer to the Panther Aid publication available in the student
Financial Aid Office.

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first
step in applying for all financial aid and is available through the stu-
dent financial aid office on each campus. You only need to com-
plete one FAFSA per academic year. Be sure to follow all instructions
carefully as filling out this form right the first time will speed up the
financial aid process. Assistance with completing the FAFSA is pro-

ill U SP ?2 3i: -•_"

vided by the financial aid office on each campus. Students must fill
out the FAFSA completely and mail it to the federal processor in the
envelope provided. If you have Internet access, you can file a FAFSA
at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The Financial Aid Office will use the
results of this application to determine financial need and to dis-
burse financial aid awards.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Any student who is transferring to PBCC from any other school
beyond high school must provide official transcripts from all other
schools attended. The transcripts must be evaluated by PBCC
before there can be an offer of financial aid.

EMERGENCY LOANS

Emergency Loans are available to assist students facing unex-
pected short-term financial difficulties. Loans will be approved for
documented financial emergencies at the discretion of the Campus
Financial Aid Coordinator. Students are limited to one Emergency
Loan per semester up to a maximum of $400. A two percent service
charge will be collected upon repayment of the loan. Failure to
repay the loan according to the specified terms may prohibit the
student from receiving subsequent Emergency Loans from PBCC.

STUDENTS IN DEFAULT ON TITLE IV LOANS

Before a default hold will be lifted to send out a student acade-
mic transcript, a letter must be on file from the lender stating that
the student has worked out a payment plan and is showing a good
faith effort to pay the loan. In the case of lifting a default hold to
allow a student to register at the College, the student must prove
that they have made a good faith effort to repay the loan or evi-
dence that it is in the best interest of the College, student and lender
for the student to be allowed to continue at the College.

FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES

Students with disabilities are eligible to apply for any and all
forms of financial assistance that are available through the college.
There are no programs, however, through either the Financial Aid
Office or Disability Support Services, that are specifically for stu-
dents with disabilities. The DSS office maintains a small list of spe-
cialized scholarships, but the list is very limited.

Students with documented disabilities may enroll in a less than
full-time courseload as an academic adjustment to accommodate
their disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
and the regulations accompanying Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Students are encouraged to discuss full-
time courseload requirements with an academic advisor or student
services counselor for their respective program. Additionally, the
nature of the disability must warrant the adjustment. A financial aid
counselor can determine how their aid will be affected by a reduced
courseload.

Students should be aware that Federal law requires the Federal
Pell Grant funds be prorated based on the number of credits taken,
and that the student financial aid budget will also be reduced
accordingly. In addition, under the Federal Stafford Loan Program,
or to have a previous loan deferred, the student must take at least
six credits.

Finally, students should be aware that, as always, eligibility for
Financial Aid depends upon satisfactory academic progress.

CHAPTER 3 - FINANCIAL AID

CHAPTER 3 -FINANCIAL AID

STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM PARTICIPATION

According to Federal Regulations, students participating in any
Federal Financial Aid Programs offered through Palm Beach
Community College will be subject to the following Standards of
Academic Progress. These Standards will also apply to State
Programs. Calculation of these Standards will include all terms of
enrollment regardless of whether the student was a Financial Aid
recipient. These Standards will be effective for all Financial Aid recipi-
ents as of the 1999 Fall term.

REQUIRED MINIMUM STANDARDS

To be considered as making Satisfactory Academic Progress, the
student must maintain the minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average
(as shown in Table 3-1 ) and earn a minimum of 67% of their credit
hours attempted (Audits, Failures & Repeats are included as
attempts:)

'Maximum Time Frame For Eligibility*

Federal Regulations require that students complete their programs,
in a period no longer than 150% of the published program length. AA
degree seeking students will be eligible to participate in the Financial
Aid Programs offered at PBCC until they have attempted 90 credit
hours. AS degree and certificate seeking students will also be eligi-
ble until they have attempted 150% of the number of credit hours
needed for their program as published in the Palm Beach Community
College Catalog.

1. We will count all credits that appear on the student's transcript
as cumulative hours attempted regardless of the grade received
including transfer credits, CLEP hours, and repeated courses.

2. We will not include remedial course work (Prep classes or ESOL)
when assessing these Standards. However, a student is eligible to
receive financial aid for a maximum of 30 prep hours.

3. We will count all incomplete grades (grades of "I") as failing
grades (grades of "F") until the Registrar's office posts the final
grade on your transcript.

4. We will assess these Standards at the end of each term.

a. We will suspend all students who fail to meet the minimum
standards from all federal and state financial aid program
participation until they have achieved the appropriate CPA
and earned the appropriate number of hours,
b. We will terminate all students who exceed the maximum time
frame from all federal and state financial aid program par-
ticipation at PBCC.

5. A student who is placed on financial aid suspension or termina-
tion will not be eligible to receive any Federal or State funding,
including student loans. Students who are suspended must pay
for their own classes until they have earned the minimum
required GPA and hours. We will not reimburse students for the
courses taken while on suspension.

6. It is the students' responsibility to request reinstatement of
financial aid eligibility once they have achieved the minimum
Standards.

APPEALS

Students may appeal their suspension or termination status
based on the following mitigating circumstances:

1. Death in the family affecting the student's academic per-
formance

2. Illness of the student or immediate family member having
direct effect upon the student's academic record

3. Other extraordinary circumstances determined acceptable
by the Financial Aid Office

These students must complete a Financial Aid
Suspension/Termination Appeal Request form and submit it to
their Campus Financial Aid Office. If denied, the student may
pursue further review by the Financial Aid Committee.

Upon approval of a suspension appeal, we will
reinstate the student's financial aid eligibility for one semester
during which they must achieve the minimum Standards.

Upon approval of a termination appeal, the student must main-
tain a minimum 2.0 GPA and earn all credit hours attempted.

ADDITIONAL POLICY FOR WITHDRAWALS

Students who withdraw from college (all courses in a given term)
while receiving financial aid will be subject to the Refund and
Repayment Policy and may have to return funds. In addition, with-
drawals affect the qualitative measure of progress and the time
frame for degree completion listed above.

PRO-RATA REFUNDS

First-time students who are Title IV financial aid recipients that
officially withdraw from all credit classes after the published
drop/add period but not beyond 60 percent of the term for which
they are charged shall be refunded on a pro-rata basis. For addi-
tional information, please refer to Title IV financial aid recipients
under the refund section of the catalog. All refunds will be returned
to the appropriate financial aid account.

PLACEMENT TESTING (for chart see pg. 20)

All first-time-in-college, degree-seeking students must present
scores from the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test (FCELPT)
unless SAT I or ACT-E scores place student >into college level course-
work (see chart below). As shown on the following chart, higher
scores place students into regular or advanced courses, while lower
scores require students to be placed into college preparatory cours-
es. Students placed into the college preparatory program will be
allowed three attempts to complete each subject area.

Each advisor will use this information for placement of a student
in mathematics, English, reading, or "Gordon Rule" writing classes.

1 . The FCELPT will be the test used in the initial placement of stu-
dents in mathematics, English, reading, and "Gordon Rule" writ-
ing courses.

2. Each first-time-in-college student entering a credit program
shall be tested for placement purposes.

3. Prospective students must take the FCELPT. Application may
be made at any high school guidance office or the Palm Beach
Community College Testing Center. The student will bear the
cost of the test.

4. Students who test into preparatory English or reading courses
must complete Strategies for College Success (SLS 1 501 ), during
their first 12 hours of course work.

5. Students currently enrolled in a college preparatory course may
not attempt to test out of that area after drop/add. Students
must wait 30 days before retesting in a subject area.

6. Students who test into the college preparatory program shall
begin taking college-preparatory courses during their first 12
semester hours of credit course work at the College and must
continue to enroll in college preparatory courses until all
preparatory requirements are completed. Students who test
into college preparatory English cannot enroll in any Gordon

HIGH SCHOOL DUAL ENROLLMENT

Dual enrollment is an opportunity for students presently attend-
ing an accredited Palm Beach County public or private high school
to enroll tuition free concurrently in courses offered by Palm Beach
Community College. Credits earned must be applied toward high
school graduation.

Any Palm Beach County public or private high school student, in
order to be eligible for participation in the dual enrollment pro-
gram, must have:

1. Completed his/her sophomore year.

2. Achieved a weighted or unweighted GPA or HPA of 3.0 or high-
er. (NOTE: Students with a 2.5 GPA are eligible to take
Strategies for College Success, SLS 1501 ).

3. Satisfied any course prerequisites.

4. Placement testing scores adequate for English or mathematics,
when applicable.

5. A recommendation and approval from parent and high school
counselor or principal.

6. An expressed intention to pursue a college degree.
Qualified students must obtain a dual enrollment permission

form from their high school guidance counselor. Home School stu-
dents may obtain the form from the PBCC Registrar's Office or
Dual Enrollment Coordinator. This completed form must be sub-
mitted to the registrar's office, along with a regular PBCC applica-
tion form for admission. A new Dual Enrollment Permission form
must be submitted for each term enrolled. After the form has been
submitted, the student may then register for the PBCC courses
offered at the high school site, or with special permission from the
high school principal, courses offered on the College campus.
Preparatory courses, physical education courses, courses less than
3 credits (unless a co-requisite), and duplicates of courses available
at the high school level are not eligible for Dual Enrollment.

Students are responsible for their own transportation. Dual
enrolled students are considered essentially high school students,
and it is the responsibility of the student and his/her high school to
ensure that requirements for graduation from high school are met.
Students participating in these programs must maintain a 3.0
unweighted high school grade point average and must earn a grade
of C or better in their college-level courses.

Dual enrolled students will not be permitted to participate in
College clubs and organizations. They may participate in Honors
courses, or Honors option contracts with 3.3 GPA.

EARLY ADMISSION

High school seniors meeting all the requirements for dual enroll-
ment may, upon written recommendation of their high school princi-
pal, enroll full-time at Palm Beach Community College. Tuition Free
credits earned during the early admission period must be used to sat-
isfy graduation requirements from high school, with the high school
principal determining how these credits are to be utilized. The student
may be awarded a high school diploma with his/her regular class or
as determined by the high school principal, provided that the student
has completed two college semesters or equivalent with a normal
class load and has maintained at least a C grade, or better in every
college level <

TRANSFER STUDENTS

A student is classified as a transfer student if he/she has previously
registered at any other regionally accredited college or university,
regardless of the amount of time spent in attendance or credit earned.

1. Students who enter from other colleges or universities must
request that official transcripts be sent directly to the College
Registrars' Office from each college or university attended.

2. The amount of credit allowed for a quarter, semester or term
will not exceed the amount the student would have been per-
mitted to earn during the same period of time at Palm Beach
Community College.

3. Palm Beach Community College accepts on transfer only those
courses completed at other regionally accredited institutions
with grades of D or higher. All courses on the transcript are
considered in calculating grade point average for student stand-
ing and for meeting graduation requirements. D grades cannot
be used in Areas I, II, III and V of General Education
Requirements.

4. Any student who has been suspended for disciplinary reasons at
any college or university must be cleared for admission through
the Admissions Appeals Committee.

TRANSFER CREDIT

Transfer credit may be accepted from degree-granting institutions
that are fully accredited at the collegiate level by their appropriate
regional accrediting agency. Provisions may be considered when an
institution appeals the policy. However, should the quality of the
educational program of the institution attended appear mediocre or
unsatisfactory, the registrar has the prerogative not to accept all or
any part of the previously earned credit. Students with college credit
from outside the U.S. must have their documents evaluated by one of
the approved commercial evaluating companies.

TRANSIENT STUDENTS

Students currently attending other colleges or universities who
plan to enroll at Palm Beach Community College and transfer their
credit back to their home institution must complete a Palm Beach
Community College application form or, if they have previously been

or a letter of good standing must be mailed directly to the Registrar's
office. If the student wishes to continue attendance at Palm Beach
Community College, he/she must complete Admissions require-
ments.

resident student, a Residency Request Form must be submitted
along with evidence of residency to the Registrar's Office prior to
the first class meeting.

RESIDENT STUDENT

A student is considered to be a resident for tuition purposes when
he/she (or, if a dependent, his parent(s) or legal guardian) has been a
permanent resident of the state of Florida for at least 12 consecutive
months preceding enrollment at Palm Beach Community College.
Legal papers proving guardianship must accompany the application,
when applicable. Final residence determination will be based on state
guidelines and will be determined by the Registrar.

Students may be eligible for a waiver of out-of-state tuition if they
qualify for one of the following exceptions. Documentation appropri-
ate to the particular exception will be required.

1. Active duty members of the armed services of the United States

vision for job-related law enforcement or corrections training.

5. A person who establishes legal residency in the state may be
considered a resident for fee purposes if their spouse has already
established 12 months legal domicile in the state.

6. A dependent child whose parent(s) has established residency in
the state of Florida for a minimum of 12 months and who is
divorced, separated or otherwise living apart shall be deemed to
be a Florida resident for fee purposes regardless of which parent
is entitled to claim the child for income tax purposes.

7. A person who has established 12 months residency in the state
who later loses his/her residency may be considered a resident
for fee purposes for 1 2 months after the point of abandonment.

8. A person who re-establishes his/her residency within 1 2 months
after abandoning his/her residency is considered not to have lost
residency. This is a one-time benefit.

9. Dependent children residing with a legal resident adult relative
other than the parents for at least five years. Legal papers prov-
ing guardianship are required.

10. Qualified beneficiaries under the Florida Pre-Paid Post-
Secondary Expense Program.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

College credit may be awarded for acceptable scores on the
College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Advanced Placement
(AP), or International Baccalaureate (IB). Students may not receive
credit by examination for courses in areas where they have received
college credit for more advanced work. CLEP, AP, or IB credits may
not be applied toward grade forgiveness.

directly to the college from the program in question may be award-
ed up to a maximum of 45 semester hours of credit.

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM
(CLEP)

Students may earn a maximum of twenty-one credit hours from the fol-
lowing general examinations: natural sciences, mathematics, humanities,
social sciences and history. Additional credits may be earned through var-
ious subject examinations. CLEP credit may not be used to satisfy courses
with Gordon Rule wnting requirements.

Some colleges and universities do not allow credit for this program.
It is the responsibility of the student to contact the institution to which
he/she expects to transfer and determine the acceptability of this credit.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)

It is the policy of Palm Beach Community College to grant college
credit to a student who presents a score of 3, 4 or 5 on one or more
of the advanced placement program examinations of the College
Entrance Examination Board. To be eligible for credit, the examina-
tion must be taken prior to enrollment in college. Credit granted by
Palm Beach Community College is transferable to participating
Florida institutions of higher education.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)

PBCC grants college credit to a student who has received the IB
Diploma from the International Baccalaureate program for higher
level and subsidiary level subjects with scores of 4 or above, up to a
maximum of 30 semester hours. For those students who have the
IB Certificate only, college credit will be awarded for higher level
subjects with scores of 5 or above.

DEPARTMENTAL AND SPECIAL COURSE
EXAMINATIONS

Students who have been admitted to the College may take, when
available, special credit course examinations. Any credit earned will

CHAPTER 4 - ADMISSIONS 23

ADMISSIONS

be reported to the student but will not be placed on his/her tran-
script until after the student has registered for that course.
Institutional challenge exams may not be taken more than once. If
the student drops during drop/add, the credit will not be granted.

MILITARY SERVICE CREDITS

PBCC grants credit for United States Armed Forces Institute
(USAFI) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Credit is
not granted for USAFI high school or college level General
Education Development Tests. However, students may use the

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
SUBSTITUTION

Eligible students with disabilities as defined by State Board of
Community Colleges Rule 6A-1 0.041 shall be considered for rea-
sonable substitution with regard to admission and graduation
requirements, provided that the inability to fulfill the course require-
ments is due directly to the disability and that appropriate accom-
modations will not result in success.

The Academic Substitution Committee, consisting of a student
services administrator, academic affairs administrator, a disabilities
services advisor and two other professional personnel, reviews sub-
stitution requests, identifies reasonable substitutions and makes
substitution decisions on an individual basis.

NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY

However, the College reserves the right to deny admission to
applicants who fail to meet established standards of scholarship or

deportment. Applicants who are initially denied admission may
appeal to the Admissions Appeals Committee, chaired by the Vice
President of Student Services.

In accordance with Florida Statutes, no student will be admitted
to Palm Beach Community College for a period of two years fol-
lowing expulsion from a college or university for unlawful posses-
sion, sale or use of narcotic drugs, or for campus disruption.

The College District Equity Coordinator is located in the Office of
Human Resources, 4200 Congress Avenue, Lake Worth, Florida
33461-4796, phone number (561) 439-8018. Responsibilities include
all areas of discrimination or alleged discrimination of protected class-
es.

RELEASE OF TRANSCRIPTS

Upon admission to the college, the student authorizes the
College to release transcripts to governmental and educational
agencies as appropriate. Students may view their transcripts from
other institutions but may not obtain a copy of the record, except
by writing to request a copy from the institution from which the
transcript originated. Transcript request must be made either in per-
son or in writing. Telephone requests will NOT be honored.

SPECIALIZED AND LIMITED ACCESS
PROGRAMS

All students must complete the steps listed under Admission
Procedures. Additional requirements for certain specialized pro-
grams are listed in the programs section of this Catalog.
Requirements must be completed before admission to the College.

24 CHAPTER 5- ACADEMIC POLICY

ACADEMIC POLICY

CLASS ATTENDANCE

Students are expected to attend all courses and course activities
for which they are registered. Any class meeting missed, regardless
of cause, reduces the opportunity of learning and may adversely
affect a student's achievement in the course. Students are required
to attend at least 90 percent of the class meetings to receive credit
for a course. An accurate record of attendance will be kept for each
class. If a student misses one third or more of a class
session, the student will be counted absent. Three tardies will be
counted as one absence.

Students, when officially representing the College, such as on a
field trip, shall not be counted absent, provided their instructors are
given prior notification and any missed assignments are subse-
quently completed to each instructor's satisfaction.

Students will be granted excused absences in the case of a sub-
stantiated emergency such as a confining illness, a serious accident
or the death of an immediate relative. Instructors will decide on the
validity of the excuses and provide opportunities for students to
complete any required make-up work. Students are responsible for
immediately informing their instructors when they must miss class
sessions for emergency reasons.

WITHDRAWAL/ AUDIT

Instructors may give a non-punitive WX grade for
excessive absences (absent from 10 percent or more of the class
meetings) for up to 60 percent of the course term. No WX grades
shall be given after 60 percent of the course term has elapsed.
Courses taken for audit are subject to the same attendance criteria;
however, instructors may assign a grade of XW for excessive
absences at any time throughout the term. Note: Upon the third
attempt of a course, a withdrawal (student or instructor) will not
be permitted and the student will receive a grade for the course.

It is the responsibility of the student to file a complete official
withdrawal form with the Registrar's Office when withdrawing from
a course or from the College.

Students may withdraw from class or change from credit to audit
by submitting the required form to the registrar's office prior to the
deadline. Most of the deadline dates are published in the College
Catalog. Normally, these dates are the end of the 10th week of the
fall and winter terms, and the end of the fourth week of each of the
summer terms. In cases of courses with non-standard beginning or
ending dates, the withdrawal and audit deadline is at the end of 60
percent of the course term. Courses taken in Fall 1997 or later will
be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals per course. Upon the
third attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw and
will receive a grade for that course. Students with questions about
withdrawal and audit deadlines should contact their academic advi-
sor or instructor. Official withdrawal or audit forms should be filed
in a timely manner with the Registrar's Office. During regular semes-
ters, international students are required to be enrolled full-time in
courses for which they will receive grades. International students
must get authorization from the International Student Counselor
before auditing or withdrawing from class.

CHANGE-OF-GRADE PROCEDURE

An instructor's change of grade (other than incomplete grades)
for a course taught in the fall term must be completed before the
end of the following spring term. Any grade changes for classes
taught in the spring term or either of the summer terms must be
completed before the end of the following fall term.

ABSENCE FROM EXAMINATIONS

Absence for an announced examination will count as a failure on
that examination unless it was for an emergency excused by the
instructor and a make-up examination is taken later. In the event
that the student disagrees with the determination of the instructor,
the academic grievance procedure will be followed.

A student who fails to make arrangements within five days after
returning to class loses make-up privileges, and the resulting grade
is determined by the instructor. If the absence occurs at the end of
a term, the make-up examination must be taken within 30 calendar
days after the first scheduled day of classes in the subsequent fall or
spring term. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the
instructor for permission to make up the test. Failure to do so will
result in an "F" for the examination.

Contact the Student Services Office on the respective campus for
further information or see the Student Handbook.

GRADING

Grading System

The following grading system is used at Palm Beach Community
College:

A - Excellent

B - Good

C - Fair

D - Poor but Passing

F - Failure

L - Instructor Grade Late

N - No Pass

P - Pass

I - Incomplete '

W - Withdrew

X-Audit

NC-Non-credit Course

WX-Withdrawn for Excessive Absences

XW-Withdrawn for Excessive Absences from Audit Course

Grade Point Average

The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is determined by divid-
ing the total quality points earned by the total semester hours
attempted (including all transfer credit). Quality points are assigned
as follows: A, 4 quality points per credit hour; B, 3 quality points per
credit hour; C, 2 quality points per credit hour; and D, 1 quality
point per credit hour. Only the last attempt of a repeated course will
be used in computing the grade point average, however, all grades
appear on the student's transcript. The PBCC grade point average
is determined by dividing the total quality points earned at PBCC by
the total semester hours attempted at PBCC. The term grade point
average is determined by dividing the total quality points earned dur-
ing a term by the total semester hours attempted during that term.

Grade Reports

Grade reports are available to students at the end of the term. It
is the responsibility of the student to notify the registrar's office of
any address changes.

Incomplete Grades

Incomplete grades are automatically changed to F if not made up
within 30 calendar days after classes begin in the subsequent fall or
spring term.

1 See following section regarding incomplete grades.

CHAPTER 5 - ACADEMIC POLICY 25

President's List

At the end of fall and spring terms, any student carrying a full aca-
demic load (excluding institutional credit) and earning a grade point
average of 3.8 or higher will be placed on the President's List. At the
end of spring term, any part-time student who has accumulated 12
or more semester hours credit during the combined fall and spring
terms with a grade point average of 3.8 or higher will be placed on
the President's List. Only credits earned at Palm Beach Community
College will be considered in the calculations.
Dean's List

At the end of fall and spring terms, any student carrying a full
academic load (excluding institutional credit) and earning a grade
point average of 3.20 to 3.79 will be placed on the Dean's List. At
the end of spring term, any part-time student who has accumulated
1 2 or more semester hours credit during the combined fall and win-
ter terms with a grade point average of 3.20 to 3.79 will be placed
on the Dean's List. Only credits earned at Palm Beach Community
College will be considered in the calculations.
Academic Probation

Palm Beach Community College requires each student to main-
tain reasonable academic progress. Any student not maintaining
the following standards of progress will be placed on academic pro-
bation. Probation will be continued as long as the student fails to
achieve the standard set for the number of hours attempted.
Students on Academic Probation are encouraged to meet with an
Academic Advisor/Counselor.

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS

Cumulative Quality Point Average of:

♦ 1.4 or better for 1-14 semester hours attempted

♦ 1.6 or better for 15-27 semester hours attempted

♦ 1.8 or better for 28-45 semester hours attempted

♦ 2.0 or better for over 45 semester hours attempted
Probation will be calculated at the end of each school term (both

summer terms will be considered as one term).

Any student on academic probation will be limited in course load
to a maximum of 1 2 semester hours during the fall and spring terms
and four semester hours during either of the summer terms.

A committee on probation will be appointed by the College pres-
ident to hear any appeal cases.

SUSPENSION OR EXCLUSION

PBCC does not suspend or exclude students for academic reasons,
unless dictated by the conditions of their admission.

GENERAL ACADEMIC POLICIES
Student Conduct

College students are considered to have reached the age of
responsibility and discretion. Their conduct, both in and out of col-
lege, is expected to be dignified and honorable. Students must real-
ize that the responsibility for their success in college rests largely
upon themselves. Policies and regulations of the College are formu-
lated by the PBCC District Board of Trustees, administration and
the faculty of the College. Each student, by the act of registering, is
obligated to obey rules and regulations formulated by the College.
The Student Code of Conduct is published in the Student Handbook.
Security of Student Records
1. Inspection of Records

a. Eligible Persons

In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (the Buckley Amendment), the student records at PBCC
(located in the office of the registrar) are open for inspection
only by the student and as per paragraph #99.31 of the
Buckley Amendment:

(1) School officials who have legitimate educational
interests.

(2) State educational authorities.

(3) Federal and state officials representing state or feder-
al programs.

(4) Persons having written authorization for release.

(5) Officials in compliance with judicial orders.
b. Viewing the Record

(1) Permanent records are never permitted out of the
office of the registrar.

(2) Students may view their records at the counter in the
presence of office personnel.

(3) Students may view their transcripts from other insti-
tutions but may not obtain a copy of the record,
except by writing to request a copy from the institu-
tion from which the transcript originated.

2. Release of Records

a. Copies of material in record

(1 ) Transcripts are released only upon written consent of
the student.

(2) A $3 fee for each transcript issued must accompany
each request. Fax services are available for an addi-
tional charge.

(3) If a student cannot have access to the record (i.e.,
lives too far away), copies may be made and the fee
schedule for transcripts (a. 2) will be applied (As per
paragraph #99.11 of the Buckley Amendment).

b. The Privacy Act classifies the following as "Directory
Information" which may be released without the student's
consent, unless the student has specifically requested that
some or all of the information not be released:

( 1 ) Dates of attendance.

(2) Major field of study.

(3) Weight and height of members of athletic teams.

(4) Degrees and awards received.

(5) Educational institution attended.

ten notice stating which of the above items are not to
be released to the general public.

c. Palm Beach Community College forwards educational
records on request to a school in which a student seeks or
intends to enroll.

3. Appeal Process

a. If a student feels that there is an error in the permanent
record, the student should contact the office of the registrar

ACADEMIC POLICY

continued from page 25

(2) The student shall be given notice of date, place and
time reasonably in advance.

(3) A written decision shall be made by the educational
institution within a reasonable period of time after
the hearing. The written decision and summary shall
be based on evidence presented and reasons for the
decision.

Unpaid Accounts

Unpaid student accounts will be considered cause for cancella-
tion of registration, graduation, granting of credit or release of tran-
script.
Prerequisites

A student who wishes to register for any course for which the pre-
requisites have not been completed must consult with the chairper-
son of the division offering the course. The chairperson may make
the decision to require the student to take the prerequisite from the
course, move the student to the prerequisite course, or allow the
student to remain in the course.

Students may not enroll for credit in a course (or prerequisite) for
which they have successfully completed a higher level course in the
same logical sequence. However, students who may need to refresh
their skills may register for audit in the lower level course.
Regulation Changes

Any statement in this Catalog is subject to change by the
Administrative Committee of the College.

Repeated Courses and Academic Average

Effective fall 1997, only courses for which a grade of D or F was
earned or withdrawals may be repeated. A student will be permitted
a maximum of three (3) attempts per course. Attempts include the
original grade, repeat of course grades, and withdrawals (student or
instructor). Upon the third attempt of a course, a withdrawal will
not be permitted and the student will receive the grade earned.
This grade will be used in quality point average computation. Note:
Students will be assessed the full cost of instruction (out-of-state tuition),
beginning with the second attempt for college preparatory courses and third
attempt for college credit courses.

The forgiveness policy pertains only up to the time of the award-
ing of degree and does not extend beyond that time. No challenge
examination (institutional, CLEP, AP, etc.) may be used to forgive a
grade. Institutions to which subsequent transfer is made may not
necessarily honor this policy.

Total Course Attempts

As of fall term 1997 or later students may have only three (3)
attempts per course which includes the original grade, repeat
grades, and withdrawals at any point in the semester. All grades
from the third and subsequent attempts will be calculated in the
grade point average. A fourth attempt may be allowed only through
the academic appeals process based on major extenuating circum-
stances. Note: Students will be assessed the full cost of instruction (out-of-
state tuition), beginning with the second attempt for college preparatory cours-
es and third attempt for college credit courses.
Correspondence Courses

A maximum of 15 semester hours of correspondence credit may
be accepted provided:

1. The course was administered by a regionally accredited
institution.

2. The minimum grade C was earned.

3. The credit is acceptable by the institution offering the corre-
spondence course toward one of its own degrees.

Palm Beach Community College does not offer correspondence
courses.
Freshmen and Sophomores

A student is considered a sophomore when the student has com-
pleted 24 semester hours of credit, regardless of the number of
terms the student has been in attendance. Until 24 hours of credit
is complete, the student is a freshman.
Full-Time Student

A student is considered a full-time student when enrolled in 1 2 or
more semester hours of credit. A summer term student must enroll
in four semester hours in each six-week term to be considered full-
time during that term. Although audit and preparatory courses
carry no credit, they are counted toward the student's enrollment
status. When determining a student's enrollment status for Selective
Service deferment or Veterans Administration benefits, noncredit
subjects cannot be counted but must be taken in addition to the
required number of credit hours. Institutional credits (i.e., college
preparatory classes) are included when determining a student's
enrollment status.

Note: Enrollment status may be defined differently for financial aid
recipients.

Student Course Load

Most students are not permitted to enroll in more than 1 8 semes-
ter hours in a 1 6-week term. However, a student who has at least a
3.2 cumulative average may enroll in a maximum of 21 semester
hours during the fall or spring term and nine semester hours during
summer A or summer B term.

Audit

A student may be admitted to certain courses on an audit basis
with the completed request form. These courses exclude all college
preparatory courses, courses under a selected admission program,
and courses taken by a dual enrolled student. Students auditing a
course must attend class, but are not required to take tests and
examinations. No audit students may change their registration to
seek credit in any course in which they are enrolled. Tuition and all
special fees apply. An instructor may withdraw (XW) an audit stu-
dent for non-attendance.

COLLEGE LEVEL ACADEMIC SKILLS TEST.

The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) is designed to
test the communication and computation skills that are judged by
state university and community college faculty to be generally asso-
ciated with successful performance and progression through the
baccalaureate level. The test is required by Florida Statutes and the
State Board of Education.

Students seeking associate in arts or baccalaureate degrees are
eligible to register for the CLAST provided the following criteria have
been met:

1 . At least 1 8 semester hours of college level course work have been
completed satisfactorily

2. The AA general education requirements in English composition
and Gordon Rule mathematics have been met

3. The student has achieved a grade point average of 2.5 and/or
has passed the CLAST Review course.

All students completing associate in arts degree programs and
associate in science degree programs who are seeking admission to
upper-division programs in a state university in Florida, as well as

Students who do not take and pass this
test will not be awarded the associate in
arts degree. Admission to a state universi-
ty may be afforded students who do not
meet the minimum standard in only one
part of this four-part exam.

The CLAST requirements also apply to
students transferring to state universities
in Florida from private colleges in Florida
and from out-of-state colleges. All stu-
dents graduating after August 1, 1984,
must meet the standard scores established
by the State Board of Education: (See Table
5-1)
Retakes

Students may not retake any subtest of the CLAST for which they
already have a passing score. Students who have met the eligibility
requirements as stated and who fail one or more parts of the CLAST
will be required to complete additional course work or remediation
approved by the campus academic dean in order to be eligible for a
retake of any subtest of the CLAST.
Exemptions

Beginning January 1, 1996, students who have achieved passing
scores on the FCELPT and have a cumulative CPA of 2.5 in specified
college-level courses as identified by the Florida Postsecondary
Education Planning Commission may be exempt from some or all
of the CLAST requirements.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

General requirements for graduation from Palm Beach
Community College must be met by all students, without regard to
the degree to be granted. Final responsibility for meeting the
requirements for graduation for either the Associate in Arts
degree or the Associate in Science degree rests with the student.

Students who have maintained continuous enrollment have the
option of graduating under either the catalog in effect at the time
they enter the College or the catalog effective at the time they
complete requirements for a degree; however, if their attendance is
interrupted by more than one academic year, they must graduate
under the catalog effective when they are readmitted. Continuous
enrollment may be maintained by enrollment in a minimum of one
term per academic year.

1 . The articulation agreement between Florida colleges and uni-
versities states that after August 31, 1972, students receiving
an AA degree must have 60 semester hours of academic work
exclusive of occupational courses including General Education
certification of an approved program of not less than 36
semester hours.

2. All students must earn at least 15 credits at PBCC. Neither
transfer nor CLEP credits satisfy this residence requirement.
Dates for the final application for graduation are listed in the
College calendar in the Catalog. It is the responsibility of the stu-
dent to apply before the deadline.

3. A cumulative grade point average of not less than 2.0 or C must
be achieved for all work attempted by all students and a 2.0
cumulative grade point average for all work at PBCC.

All students must have a minimum of 2.0 cumulative GPA for
all courses attempted in order for them to be awarded a pro-
gram certificate.

The health course general education requirement may be met
by HSC 2100 (formerly HSC 2200), Health Concepts and
Strategies. This general education requirement may also be met
by satisfactorily passing the Departmental Health Knowledge
Test. All students become eligible to take this exam by paying
the current administrating fee.

Students must make formal application for graduation in
Student Services.

Participation in graduation exercises is expected of all
graduates who are eligible for graduation.
General education requirements are specified under the
associate in science and associate in arts sections. Completion
of general education requirements cannot be certified until all
other requirements of the degree have been met.
To obtain full benefits of articulation agreements between Palm
Beach Community College and the Florida State University
System, a student must fulfill all graduation requirements for an
associate in arts (AA) degree.

Any student who is granted college credits for courses, or
experiences in settings other than college level, will not be grant-
ed the credits until 15 college credits have been taken at PBCC.
Credit by examination will not be considered to accrue toward
the 15 college credits.

Graduation with an associate in arts degree requires passing all
four sections of CLAST or qualification for one of the exemp-
tions. Passing scores will be announced by the state of Florida
each year. Responsibility for taking and passing the CLAST rests
with the student.

Students who graduate with a 3.2 overall GPA, or higher, will be
noted in the Commencement Bulletin as graduating with
Academic Distinction.

Students who graduate with a minimum overall cumulative
GPA of at least 3.2, 12 hours of Honors Courses or Honors
Option Contracts completed, and apply for Honors
Graduation, will be designated as Honors Program Graduates
and will receive the following recognition:

Center For Early Learning Fees

Philosophically, the Center for Early Learning is Montessori-
based. The staff believes that each child is unique and learns best
through his/her interactions with the environment. The classroom
and curriculum are designed to encourage each child to move freely
and make choices, to interact with one another, to work-play with
developmentally appropriate materials and to use adults as
resources and partners in learning. It is through the child's work-
play that he/she will gain the skills and confidence necessary to
become an independent learner with understanding, based on expe-
riences, of the world in which he/she lives.

1, The non-refundable registration fee of $25 is to be paid by the
parents of the student prior to enrollment each term.

2. The enrollment fee is $40 per week for each child. Included in this

fee is a $1.25 per week charge for snacks.

HOPE SCHOLARSHIP AND LIFELONG
LEARNING TAX CREDITS

Under the provisions of the 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act, the "HOPE
Scholarship," was established for education-related expenses paid
after January 1, 1998. The new tax credit will apply to a student's
first two years of college, and eligibility will be based on a family's
income level.

There are also additional tax credits for lifelong learning and
some student loans' interest. For further information on educa-
tional tax credits, please contact your tax advisor.

A student who has to withdraw or is dropped from a class due to
a PBCC error or change or other PBCC action after the published
drop/add period shall be refunded 100 percent of refundable fees
upon the approval of the student's refund request. No grade or
attempt is recorded on the student's record.

No other refunds are granted except in those cases where a stu-
dent withdraws from classes due to a personal emergency beyond
the student's control. Refunds may be granted for up to 60 percent
of the term under these circumstances and will be computed on a
pro-rata basis. A "W" will be recorded on the student's transcript
and will not affect the student's GPA.

Supporting documentation MUST accompany refund requests
based on a PBCC action or personal emergency. The following doc-
umentation is required:

Medical - a letter from your physician or health care agency
specifically indicating an illness of such severity or duration that you
cannot continue in your course. The letter must include dates of the
illness and treatment.

Employment - a letter on company stationery indicating that
your work schedule was changed by your employer and that this
change prevents you from completing the term.

Death of Immediate Family Member - documentation of the
death and your relationship to the deceased. Immediate family
members are limited to spouse, child, parent and sibling.

College Change or Error - a letter from the appropriate College
official documenting the situation in which the College was in error
or initiated an action that caused you to have to withdraw.

The refund-request process takes approximately four weeks. If
you are no longer attending, it is your responsibility to withdraw
from the course(s). Submitting a refund form does not officially
withdraw you from a class or the college. Decisions will be based on
the documentation provided. You will be notified in writing of the
Refund Appeals Committee's decision. If approved, your refund
check will be mailed from the refund office to the address listed on
the registrar's office computer record, or your financial aid account
will be credited.

Refund requests received after the last day of the academic term
of the request will not be considered except in cases of extreme cir-
cumstances or College error as determined by the Refund Appeals
Committee.

REFUNDS

The refund schedule is based upon the dates listed in the calen-
dar of events that appear in the front of the Catalog and in the
Student Handbook.

Any student who officially withdraws from college or reduces
his/her course load prior to the end of the published drop/add peri-
od is automatically refunded 100 percent of refundable fees. No
grade is recorded on the student's transcript.

The appropriate account is automatically refunded on a pro-rata
basis in those cases where a first time-at-the-college Title IV finan-
cial aid student withdraws from all credit classes after the end of the
published drop/add period but not beyond 60 percent of the term.
A "W" is recorded on the student's transcript and will not affect the
student's GPA.

THE LIBRARY LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER

The LLRC offers print and non-print materials at all four campus
locations. The Central Campus Harold C. Manor Library, Belle
Glade and Eissey Campuses maintain full service hours under the
auspices of the College. The South Campus library service is a joint-
use agreement with Florida Atlantic University. LLRC provides
resources and services for both students and faculty. Individual
instruction is provided by professional librarians, technicians and
specialists. Croup-orientation sessions provide information on
library and media services. Success in achieving instructional objec-
tives depends on access to information. Electronic access to library
materials is now available via on-line and CD-ROM technology
including the Library Information Network for Community Colleges
(LINCC).

THE CENTER FOR PERSONALIZED
INSTRUCTION (CPI)

The CPI offers educational development to both day and evening
students. Individualized instruction in selected credit courses and
college preparatory courses in reading, English, and mathematics
are available. CPI courses combine lecture, individualized instruc-
tion, and multi-media assisted instruction to deliver a curriculum
that meets the specific learning needs of each student. Flexible class
scheduling on a "To Be Arranged" (TBA) basis as an alternative to
the traditional classroom is available at several campuses. In addi-
tion to courses, CPI academic support and learning assistance ser-
vices include tutoring, Supplemental Instruction (SI), videos, and
computer software that correlates with many PBCC courses. Review
materials for standardized tests such as the CPT and CLAST are
available. All students have access to CPI services.

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION

Cooperative education (co-op) is a nationally recognized acade-
mic program combining on-campus study with work-related experi-
ence in area business, industry or governmental agencies. It is based
on the principle that learning is not confined to classroom achieve-
ment and is equally dependent upon experiential opportunities.
Benefits

As a co-op student you can:

1. Earn academic credit.

2. Gain practical experience and job knowledge.

3. Test your career decision.

4. Make valuable contacts in your professional field.

5. Earn income through work in your chosen field of study.

Eligibility

Students having completed one full-time semester, or at least 1 2
credit hours, are eligible to enter the co-op program, provided they
have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and are in
good academic standing. Participating students must have a will-
ingness to become involved in developing a cooperative education
position related to their major field of study.

Operations

Co-op may be part-time, full-time, paid or unpaid work experi-
ence providing entry-level, intermediate or advanced training.
Current employment may meet the program requirements with
modified or enhanced duties in cooperation with the employer. The
work experience is coordinated with on-campus study. Students
may earn up to six academic credits usable as elective credits, added

credits or to meet the curriculum requirements in designated pro-
grams. Students should consult with an academic advisor regarding
the transferability of co-op credits in programs offered by upper-
division colleges and universities.

Enrollment

Co-op education varies across the district, using a common core
of required student activities. For specific information regarding
enrollment requirements and student activities, contact the appro-
priate campus listed below:

Central Campus 439-8050

CHAPTER 7 - SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Assessment '

Credit is awarded through an assessment process to determine if
the necessary competencies were gained by work experience associ-
ated with the college course being assessed. Assessment involves the
following:

♦ Written or performance tests.

♦ Preparation of a portfolio describing learning and how it was
acquired.

♦ Evaluation of certificates and licenses.

♦ Interviews with faculty members.

♦ Review of external agency recommendations (ACE, AIB, PONSI,
etc.).

The method of assessment is determined by the division chair
and faculty members responsible for the courses for which credit is
requested.

Not all courses are assessable courses. Courses being assessed
must be offered as a requirement or an elective in an AS degree or
certificate program at PBCC. General education courses are not
assessable.

Process

After being admitted to the College as a regular degree-seeking
student and selecting an academic program with the help of a coun-
selor or advisor, the following steps must be taken:

1 . Meet with the program division chair or manager to determine
if an assessment process is available for selected courses.

2. Apply for assessment on forms available from the
division chair or student services.

3. Consult with the division chair, program manager or designated
faculty evaluator to determine requirements for assessment and
fees required.

4. Discuss student responsibilities in the assessment process,
including:

a. Meeting with an instructor for an oral or written exam.

b. Preparing for a written exam by reviewing textbooks.

c. Arranging for an instructor to interview an employer as
well as a work-site visit.

d. Presenting certificates and licenses for authentication.

e. Developing a portfolio of experience.

f. Providing ACE recommendations for military training.

5. Pay necessary fees (minimum fee $15 per course) for the assess-
ment process. Fees do not include credits. It is possible that aca-
demic credit will not be awarded in the areas requested, but the
cost of assessment remains the same.

Award of Credit

The assessment process may take from several hours to several
months, depending on the amount of credit requested and the
methods of assessment required. When the process is completed,
the results are forwarded to the district dean of vocational educa-
tion for final review and verification. The dean will request the reg-
istrar to place the credits on your transcript.

Credits awarded are held until satisfactorily completing 15 cred-
its of college-level course work at PBCC. Experiential credit may not
be used to meet the residency requirement for the 1 5 hours prior to
graduation.

FLORIDA-CANADA INSTITUTE

The Florida-Canada Institute is part of the inter-
national program established within the State Department of

TELECOURSES

Palm Beach Community College telecourses are an exceptional
alternative for busy working adults to earn college credit on a flexi-
ble basis, and for just about anyone who wishes to expand their
knowledge in a wide variety of interesting subject areas.

What is a telecourse? A telecourse offers regular college credit,
using video tapes, text books, study guides and other elements as
the basic study materials for the course. You may view your video
lessons in one or more ways: on Palm Beach County's
Educational/Government Cable Channel 20, PBS Channel 42 or by
viewing it in the Library Learning Resource Center and/or Media
Center.

A telecourse learning program includes:

1. Required campus visits, orientation, a midterm and a final as
scheduled.

2. An instructor available by telephone or in person, during speci-
fied office hours.

3. A textbook and, perhaps, other supplementary materials.

4. Two or three half-hour video programs each week.

5. A Study Guide to direct and connect the reading and viewing
assignments.

6. A course syllabus outlining assignments, testing information
and other details about the course.

7. A "hotline" and "voice-mail" service to answer questions, solve
technical problems and provide general information.

Each telecourse is equivalent to the on-campus sections of the
same course in terms of objectives, content and credit transferability.

There is a $20 fee for telecourse programs.

Telecourses are offered on all four Palm Beach Community
College campuses. For additional telecourse information, call one
of our four campuses: Central Campus (561 ) 439-81 14, Edward M.
Eissey Campus (561 ) 625-2574, Glades Campus (561 ) 992-61 68 or
South Campus (561 ) 367-4564.

INTERNET COURSES

It is recommended that you take the on-line quiz: Should I take a
Distance Learning Class? There is a link from the Virtual College's
page to this quiz. After you have answered all of the questions, click
the CLICK HERE button to see our recommendation. Regardless of
the outcome of the quiz, it is recommended that you
discuss the Virtual College classes with one of the College's coun-
selors by phone or in person.

The Internet classes are organized into the following four cate-
gories:

1 . Pure Internet classes are classes which are taken entirely over the
Internet. While most of the course activities will be over the
Internet, there may be some campus requirements but no class
attendance.

2. Concurrent Traditional Classes with Pure Internet Option are
classes which may be taken either by attending some or all of the
classes in the traditional classroom or may be taken by attend-
ing some or all of the classes over the Internet.

3. Traditional classes with an Internet Component are classes
which require class attendance on the campus. While these are
traditional courses, there will be some components for which
the student is required to use the Internet.

4. Telecourses with an Internet Component are classes which are
traditional telecourses that may require some class attendance
on a campus as well as viewing the course materials on a local
television station. While these are traditional telecourses and
have requirements, there will be some components of the course
for which the student is required to use the Internet.

To determine which Virtual College classes you want to take, view
the listings at the web site listed above. Visit the course web site.
Read the description of the courses and read the course syllabi. Be
sure of what will be required of the student before you sign up for a
Virtual College class. Be sure that you can get access to the Internet
either in a College lab or elsewhere. Be sure that you have an email
account before the course begins. If you have any questions, consult
a counselor at one of the Counseling Centers.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE

The Associate in Arts Degree is designed for the student who
plans to transfer to a Florida public university as a junior to com-
plete a bachelor's degree. This degree is made up of general educa-
tion courses and electives, providing a course of study equivalent to
those required of freshman and sophomores at Florida's state uni-
versities. A student who earns the AA Degree at Palm Beach
Community College meets the lower division general education
requirements of a Florida state university, but does not automati-
cally meet the requirements for a particular major.

If you plan to complete the Associate of Arts Degree and trans-
fer to a Florida state university, it is very important that you decide
on a major as early as possible, and follow the course of study
required for that program of study at the university. You should
visit an Academic Advisor on a regular basis to receive pertinent
information about the degree requirements for certain majors at
Florida's state universities, the completion of pre-requisite courses,
grade point average requirements, etc. Your Academic Advisor can
help you to develop an academic plan which will help to ensure your
successful transition to the university. It is very important that you
take the initiative to determine the requirements for your major at
the university you wish to attend.

Graduation Requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree:

Responsibility for understanding and meeting the requirements
for graduation with an Associate of Arts Degree rests with the stu-
dent. To be awarded the AA Degree from Palm Beach Community
College, a student must do the following:

1. Satisfy admission requirements and successfully complete all
required preparatory courses in reading, English, and/or math-
ematics.

2. Complete a minimum of 60 credit hours of university-parallel
course work, comprised of the following: 36 credit hours of
General Education and 24 credit hours of electives. No more
than 2 credit hours of Physical Education courses may be used
toward the AA degree.

3. Earn a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in:

a. all college-level credits transferred from other institutions.

b. all courses attempted at PBCC.

4. Complete at least 15 credit hours at PBCC, excluding CLEP or
credit by exam.

5. The Florida State Gordon Rule requires that a student must
complete, with a grade of C or higher, writing assignments of at
least 24,000 words in college writing, humanities and social sci-
ence courses and complete, with a grade of C or higher, 6 cred-
it hours of college level mathematics (see the General Education
requirement).

6. Satisfy the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) require-
ment by taking and passing the four components of the test or
document satisfaction of the CLAST requirements by a State-
approved alternative method.

7. File an application for graduation (Grad Card) through an
Academic Advisor by the deadline date listed in the College cal-
endar.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT

Students planning to transfer to a Florida state university after
earning the Associate in Arts Degree should be aware of the foreign
language requirement. To be admitted into the upper division at a
Florida state university, students must satisfy this requirement in
one of the following ways:

Successful completion of two credits (two years) of sequential

high school instruction in one foreign language,

Successful completion of 8 semester hours of sequential college

credit (two semesters if taken at PBCC) in one foreign language,

Demonstration of proficiency by passing a CLEP (College Level

Examination Program) foreign language test.

Satisfaction of this university ADMISSION requirement may not
satisfy a specific university graduation requirement of foreign lan-
guage for certain majors. Students are encouraged to determine the
graduation requirement for the university they plan to attend.

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE

The degree of associate in science is awarded upon successful
completion of a program of study approved by the College. The aim
of the occupationally oriented A.S. degree program is to prepare the
student for immediate entry into the business, professional or
industrial life of the community with a level of training which would
lead to employment.

It is important to note that students who choose associate in
science degree programs are NOT qualifying themselves for transfer
to the junior year at a state university. If a combination of immedi-
ate job training plus possible continuation for a four-year degree is
desired, plan your program carefully.

General Education Requirements

Each associate in science program will have a minimum of fif-
teen (15) college credits of General Education required. The cours-
es used to satisfy this requirement will be taken from the list of
courses identified within the associate in arts degree five (5) areas
of general education listed above. Specific general education com-
petencies may be demonstrated via course content.

When selecting general education courses, the student must
refer to their specific AS degree program requirements.

Three courses for a total of nine (9) credits must be selected
from the following AA General Education areas listed below:

Area II, Humanities

Area III, Mathematics or Area IV, Natural Science

Area V, Social Science

An additional six (6) credit hours must be selected to complete
the fifteen (15) credits for the AS program general education
requirements. These six (6) credits may be selected from the appro-
priate general education areas.

The following competencies must be documented by the stu-
dent through general education courses or other program course
content:

* Written and oral communications

* Computation

* Basic use of computers

* Wellness

Students enrolled in AS degree programs who '
an AA degree also may complete 36 hours of gener
have this noted on transcript PROVIDED the registrar is notified of
this intention when the student applies for the AS degree. See
College Level Academic Skills Test the academic policy section, page
26.

All specialized occupational programs (AS degree) listed in pro-
gram outlines in the catalog must be completed in their entirety.

Skilled technicians are needed to assist in the design, produc-
tion, operation and servicing of electronic systems and equipment.
They may work in laboratories assisting professional engineers and
scientists or on the assembly line in testing and inspection; or apply
their knowledge of science, mathematics and electronics to
practical problems of design and construction on research and
development. The result is to place the qualified graduate firmly in
the technician category, between the skilled craftsman and the
engineer, and provide a sound scientific foundation for further
learning in the field.

and/or corporate or government law-related activities. Under the
supervision and direction of a lawyer, the legal assistant is trained to
provide the following services:

1. Apply knowledge of law and legal procedures in rendering direct
assistance to lawyers engaged in legal research.

2. Design, develop or plan modifications of new procedures, tech-
niques, services, processes or applications.

3. Prepare legal documents or write detailed procedures for engag-
ing in the practice in certain fields of law.

4. Select, compile and use technical information from such refer-
ences as digests, encyclopedias or practice manuals.

dent decisions.

The National Association of Legal Assistants, which is an inde-
pendent organization not affiliated with this or any other program,
school or university, administers a comprehensive two-day exami-
nation to qualified candidates and grants successful examinees the
status of Certified Legal Assistant (CLA).

Commission on Dental Accreditation an approved by the Florida
State Board of Dentistry. The program leads to an AS degree and is
approximately 21 months in length, not including the time neces-
sary to complete the listed general education and non-technical
program core courses. It begins with the fall term of each year, and
is structured as a daytime program only. Graduates are eligible to
take National and State or Regional Board Examinations to become
licensed dental hygienists.

Courses may articulate from an ADA Commission on Dental
Accreditation dental assisting program, and a possibility of up to 20
credit hours may be accepted toward the AS degree in dental
hygiene. Students from other formal dental programs may be given
credit for their experience through challenge or other means of eval-
uation.

All dental hygiene courses must be taken in sequence, and a
grade of C or better must be earned in the clinical, laboratory and
lecture areas of these courses. A grade of C or better must also be
earned in all other course requirements for the AS degree in dental
hygiene. All dental science and general science courses must have
been taken within the past five years.

Requirements for Consideration for Selection

The following minimum criteria are established to be eligible for
placement in the selection pool, and must be met by the application
deadline date. Meeting minimum criteria for selection does not
guarantee admission to the Dental Hygiene program. Final selection
will be made using a point system which credits the number of
required general education and non-technical program core cours-
es completed with a grade of C or better at the time of application
(see lists at beginning of this section), grade point average of
required basic sciences completed by the time of application (all
attempts), dental assistant work experience, formal education in
dental assisting and completion of any or all of the non-required
courses HSC 1000, HSC 1400, HSC2100, HSC 2531 or SLS 1501.
For further details regarding the point system, see the Dental
Hygiene application form, or contact Dental Health Services at
561/439-8313.

scribed remediation must have been successfully completed by
the application deadline. Completion with a grade of C or high-
er of a minimum of 3 college credits in math and/or English may
be used in lieu of placement test scores to be eligible for consid-
eration for selection into the program.

Nursing for the new millennium will focus on: wellness of self
and others; technical nursing skills across the life span (emphasis on
geriatrics) in both acute care facilities and the community (home)
environment; critical care concepts; and professional development.
Upon graduation, students are awarded an associate degree and
are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX) to
become a registered nurse (RN).

As such, the graduates will be collaborative and integral mem-
bers of the changing health care system. Their uniqueness will be
evidenced by leadership in the profession as they provide and coor-
dinate holistic care to our diverse community in Palm Beach
County. Any individual with an arrest record is advised to seek
counseling regarding possible limitations towards licensure prior
to applying for entrance. The program is approved by the Florida
State Board of Nursing and accredited by the National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission. Program data is annually updat-
ed with: The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission,
61 Broadway, 33rd floor, New York, NY 10006, phone (800) 669-
1656.

Available within this program is admission as either a beginning
(generic) or an LPN/transfer student. Since nursing is a Limited
Access Program, entrance requirements are the same; however, the
process is different.

Generic students submit information and documents directly to
the Palm Beach Community College Limited Access Program Office.
Phone: (561)439-8205.

LPN/transfer students submit college application and tran-
scripts to the Admissions Office, and all other information directly
to the Palm Beach Community College Nursing and Wellness
Office.

Nursing Admissions - Limited Access Program

The following criteria are established to be eligible for placement
in the selection pool. Meeting the criteria for selection does not
guarantee admission to the Nursing Program. Final selection will be
made using a point system which credits former college education;
nursing program general education requirements completed; cumu-

78 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

CHAPTER 9 • FLORIDA'S

COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM

Florida's Statewide Course
Numbering System

Courses in this catalog are identified by
prefixes and numbers that were assigned by
Florida's Statewide Course Numbering
System. This common numbering system is
used by all public postsecondary institutions
in Florida and by two participating private
institutions. The major purpose of this system
is to facilitate the transfer of courses between
participating institutions.

Each participating institution controls the
title, credit and content of its own courses,
and assigns the first digit of the course num-
ber to indicate the level at which students nor-
mally take the course. Course prefixes and the
last three digits of the course numbers are
assigned by members of faculty discipline
committees appointed for that purpose by the
Florida Department of Education in
Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve
on these committees are selected to maintain
a representative balance as to type of institu-
tion and discipline field or specialization.

The course prefix and each digit in the
course number have meaning in the Statewide
Course Numbering System (SCNS) Table 9-1.
The list of course prefixes and numbers, along
with their generic titles, is referred to as the
SCNS taxonomy. Descriptions of the content
of courses are referred to as course equivalen-
cy profiles.

General Rule for Course
Equivalencies

Equivalent courses at different institutions
are identified by the same prefixes and same
last three digits of the course number and are
guaranteed to be transferable between the
participating institutions that offer the
course, with a few exceptions.*

For example, a survey course in social prob-
lems is offered by 31 different postsecondary
institutions. Each institution uses SYG 010 to
identify its social problems course. The level
code is the first digit and represents the year in
which students normally take this course at a
specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy,

SYC means Sociology, General; the century
digit 0 represents Entry-Level General
Sociology; the decade digit 1 represents
Survey Course; and the unit digit 0 represents
Social Problems.

In science and other areas, a C or L after
the course number is known as a lab indica-
tor. The C represents a combined lecture and
laboratory course that meets in the same
place at the same time. The L represents a lab-
oratory course or the laboratory part of a
course, having the same prefix and course
number without a lab indicator, which meets
at a different time or place.

Transfer of any successfully completed
course from one participating regionally
accredited postsecondary institution to
another is guaranteed in cases where the
course to be transferred is offered by the
receiving institution and is identified by the
same prefix and last three digits at both insti-
tutions. For example, SYG 1010 is offered at a
community college. The same course is
offered at a state university as SYG 2010. A
student who has successfully completed SYG
1010 at the community college is guaranteed
to receive transfer credit for SYG 2010 at the
state university if the student transfers. The
student cannot be required to take SYG 2010
again since SYG 1010 is equivalent to SYG
2010. Transfer credit must be awarded for
successfully completed equivalent courses and
used by the receiving institution to determine
satisfaction of requirements by transfer stu-
dents on the same basis as credit awarded to
native students. It is the prerogative of the
receiving institution, however, to offer transfer
credit for courses successfully completed
which have not been designated as equivalent.

Sometimes, as in Chemistry, a sequence of
one or more courses must be completed at
the same institution in order for the courses to
be transferable to another institution, even if
the course prefix and numbers are the same.
The information is contained in the individual
SCNS course equivalency profiles for each
course in the sequence.

The Course prefix is a three-letter designa-
tor for a major division of an academic disci-

Authority for Acceptance of
Equivalent Courses

State Board of Education Rule 6A-
10.024(17), Florida Administrative Code,
reads:

When a student transfers among institu-
tions that participate in the common course
designation and numbering system, the receiv-
ing institution shall award credit for courses
satisfactorily completed at the previous par-
ticipating institutions when the courses are
judged by the appropriate common course
designation and numbering system faculty
task forces to be equivalent to courses offered
at the receiving institution and are entered in
the course numbering system. Credit so
awarded can be used by transfer students to
satisfy requirements in these institutions on
the same basis as native students.

Exceptions to the General Rule for
Equivalency

The following courses are exceptions to the
general rule for course equivalencies and may
not be transferable. Transferability is at the
discretion of the receiving institution:

1. Courses in the 900-999 series (e.g., ART
2905)

2. Internships, practice, clinical experiences
and study-abroad courses

3. Performance or studio courses in Art,
Dance, Theater and Music

4. Skills courses in Criminal Justice

5. Graduate courses

College preparatory and vocational
preparatory courses may not be used to meet
degree requirements and are not transferable.

Numbering System and appeals regarding
course credit transfer decisions should be

INFORMATION FOR RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION

A Florida "resident for tuition" is a person (or a dependent person whose parent or legal guardian) who has established and maintained legal residence in Flonda for at least 1 2 consecutive months Residence

in Flonda must be for the purpose of establishing a permanent home and not merely incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education Documents supporting the establishment of legal residence
must be dated, issued or filed 1 2 months before the first day of classes of the term for which a Flonda resident classification is sought

INFORMATION FOR RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION

A Florida "resident for tuition" is a person (or a dependent person whose parent or legal guardian) who has established and maintained legal residence in Florida for at least 12 consecutive months.
Residence in Florida must be a bonafide domiciliary rather than for the purpose of maintaining a residence incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education. Other persons not meeting the 12
month legal residence requirement may be classified as Florida residents for tuition purposes only if they fall within one of the limited special categories authorized by the Florida Legislature. All other
persons are ineligible for classification as a FLonda "resident for tuition purposes.-

To qualify as a Florida "resident for tuition purpose", you must be a US citizen, permanent resident alien or a legal alien granted indefinite stay by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Living in
or attending school in Florida will not. in itself, establish legal residence. Students who depend on out-of-state parents for support are presumed to be legal resident of the same state as their parents.
Residence in Florida must be for the purpose of establishing a permanent home and not merely incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education. Documents supporting the establishment of
legal residence must be dated, issued or tiled 12 months before the first day of classes of the term for which a Florida resident classification is sought.

DEFINITIONS: A copy of your most recent tax return or other documentation may be requested to establish dependence/independence.

DEPENDENT: A person for whom 50 percent or more of his/her support is provided by another as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.

INDEPENDENT: A person who provides more than 50 percent of his/her support.
