ABOUT THE COLLEGE
History
1914— A small industrial arts shop opened at the Williamsport High
School.
1920— A full-time adult day school and an evening school were
established.
1941— The Williamsport Technical Institute was formed,
encompassing both the adult and high school programs.
1965— The Williamsport Area Community College was established
by expanding the programming of the Williamsport Technical
Institute to include a larger range of community needs.
1981— The College dedicated three new buildings constructed under
Stage I of the building improvement program.
1984— The College dedicated the new Lifelong Education Center.
1985— The College broke ground for the new Advanced Technology
and Health Sciences Center.
Today
The Williamsport Area Community College serves over 20,000
people a year through a diverse range of programs and courses. The
College offers:
"Fifty-eight programs leading to associate degrees or certificates in
vocational and technical fields and in the liberal arts and sciences.
'Vocational training for secondary students.
"Courses tailored to meet the needs of business and industry for
employee training.
"A broad range of avocational courses offered both on-campus and
at off-campus sites.
Backed by a tradition of excellence in technical education, the
College has gained a national reputation for the diversity and
quality of its occupational programs. Of the more than 4000
students a year enrolled in associate degree and certificate
programs, about 92 percent are in a technical or occupational area.
The College's programs are housed on five campuses: the
central campus in Williamsport, the Earth Science Center in
Allenwood/Montgomery, the Aviation Center, adjacent to the
Lycoming County Airport in Montoursville, the Danville State Farm
Laboratory, and the North Campus, located near Wellsboro. Courses
are also offered at locations throughout the College's service area.
In 1985, the College broke ground for the new Advanced
Technology and Health Sciences Center. This building will expand
our ability to provide training in a "new generation" of
technology — including fiber optics, automated manufacturing,
robotics and laser technology. Our progress — in programming and
campus development — reflects our commitment to meeting the
emerging needs of our students and the region we serve.
The provisions of this catalog are not to be considered an
irrevocable contract between the student and the College. The
Williamsport Area Community College reserves the right to change
any fees, requirements and regulations at any time within the
student's term of enrollment at the College.
Students are responsible for meeting in full the requirements for
graduation set forth by the College. The student's advisor assists in
the planning of a program, but the final responsibility for meeting
the requirements for graduation rests with the student.
The Williamsport Area Community College does not discriminate on
the basis of age, sex, handicap, race, religion, creed, national origin,
veteran status or political affiliation. Student inquiries concerning
Title VI, IX and Section 504 compliance should be directed to the
Title VI, IX and Section 504 Coordinator, Lawrence W. Emery, Jr.,

. f m PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE-1
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The challenges of the future will be met by men
and women with the resources to adapt to new
ideas — and by communities which support the need
for innovation in technology and in education.
The Williamsport Area Community College is
committed to securing the future for our students
and our community. In 1986-87, the College makes
firm this commitment by offering a series of new
advanced technology career training opportunities-
many of which are unique to our region. And, we will
open a new multi-million dollar Advanced Technology
and Health Sciences Center— a facility already hailed
by experts as "the most sophisticated of its type in
the nation".
This year will be a year of discovery at The
Williamsport Area Community College, as we enter
into new program areas and develop new ways of
serving our students. As you review the programs
and services described in our 1986-87 catalog, you
too will make a great discovery. You'll discover many
differences . . . the difference between a textbook
education and a quality hands-on learning experience
. . . the difference between memorizing a classroom
theory and gaining a real, marketable skill . . . and
the difference a Williamsport Area Community
College education could make in your future.
We invite you to discover the difference.
Robert L. Breuder
President
2-ADMISSION
ADMISSION
Admission Policy
At The Williamsport Area Community College we are
committed to serving the educational needs of
students from all walks of life. The College operates
under an "open-door" admissions policy and is open
to anyone with a high school diploma or its
equivalent. Anyone age 18 or older who does not
have a high school diploma or the equivalent may be
admitted as a "special student."
Acceptance to several programs of study is based
upon the applicant's meeting the requirements
(including necessary academic skills and
prerequisites) of the specific program of study. The
College reserves the right to deny admission or
readmission to any student if, in the opinion of
College authorities, his/her admission is not in the
best interest of the student or the College.
The Williamsport Area Community College offers
equal opportunity for admission without regard to
age, race, color, creed, sex, national origin, handicap,
veteran status, or political affiliation.
The College will provide opportunities to develop the
basic skills necessary to enroll in associate degree
and certificate courses to those who demonstrate
such needs on the College's placement tests.
Acceptance
The Williamsport Area Community College will
accept students based on the date the applicant's
file (i.e., application for admission, application fee,
transcripts/GED, and, when appropriate, testing
material) is completed in the Admissions Office.
Admission Procedure
All graduates of accredited secondary schools in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are eligible for
admission to the College as regular students.
Admission into a specific program is based upon
evidence of scholastic readiness for the program.
1. Application and Application Fee
All applicants to degree and certificate programs
must submit an "Application for Admission" form
together with a non-refundable application fee.
This fee is charged only once. The Director of
Admissions, upon written request from a
counselor, state agency, etc. has the authority to
waive the fee when it can be determined that the
fee causes financial hardship to an individual.
2. High School Graduation
a. High school students must submit a partial
transcript during their senior year. However, a final
transcript of high school credits or proof of
graduation from an approved or accredited high
school with a four-year course of study must be
on file before a student can attend classes.

transcript of high school credits or proof of
graduation from an approved or accredited high
school with a four-year course of study.

applicants 17 years of age may be considered for
admission with a minimum GED test score average
of 45.
d. Anyone age 18 or older who has not met the
requirements of sections a., b., or c. above may be
considered for admission into a program as a
"special student" provided he/she has the
appropriate aptitudes and abilities to enter the
College.
e. Early Admissions: Applicants who have
completed the eleventh grade at an approved or
accredited high school may be considered for
admission as a full-time or part-time student
ADMISSION-3
during the senior year of high school provided: I.J
The chief administrative officer of the high school
must submit a letter indicating approval of the
student's early admission to the Admissions
Office. That written approval, plus the applicant's
application fee and transcript, must be provided to
the Admissions Office before consideration shall
be given the application. 2.) If denied admission as
an early admissions student, the applicant shall be
automatically considered for admission at the end
of his/her senior year. 3.) All fees will be the
responsibility of the student.
f. Accelerated Program: A high school student
having completed two years of high school beyond
grade nine may enroll in the accelerated program
at The Williamsport Area Community College in
lieu of the senior year of high school. The program
begins in the fall semester. When the student
completes 30 or more semester hours with a 2.00
("C") grade point average or above, a high school
diploma would be awarded by the appropriate
school district.
Students entering the Associate of Arts programs
must have a 3.50 high school grade point average
(GPA). For entrance into the Associate of Applied
Science, Associate of Applied Arts, or Certificate
programs, students must have a minimum of a
2.50 GPA with a minimum of two semesters with
a GPA of 3.00 in anticipated major or related
areas.
To be accepted, in addition to the normal
admission requirements students must have: 1.) A
recommendation from his/her high school guidance
counselor. 2.) Approval of his/her high school
principal. 3.) A signed permission form from
parents/legal guardians. 4.) Student/parent

Tuition and related fees will be paid by the school
district. ALL MATERIALS WILL BE COORDINATED
THROUGH THE COLLEGE'S SECONDARY
VOCATIONAL OFFICE.
g. Dual Enrollment: Qualified full-time high school
students may enroll part-time in College credit
classes. College courses taken can be counted
toward high school graduation with the school's
approval. Students must be in the tenth, eleventh
or twelfth grade and have a 2.50 minimum high
school GPA to be eligible.
The same admission requirements, payment of
fees and processing of the application procedures
outlined in the accelerated program apply here.
h. Credit in Escrow: High school students who
have completed two years beyond the ninth grade
with a GPA of 2.50 may enroll part-time at The
Williamsport Area Community College. They can
take up to 11 credit hours, as determined by the
Admissions Office, based upon the student's
ability and required high school time. The same
admission requirements, payment of fees and
processing of the application procedures outlined
in the accelerated program apply here.
3. Placement Examinations
To insure that applicants have the entry-level skills
needed for their programs, all students are required
to take the College's placement examinations. The
College uses these examinations to assess
applicants' skills in math, English and reading.
Based on the results of their tests, students will
be placed in the appropriate math, English and
reading courses. The College reserves the right to
recommend another program or require
developmental courses if the test results indicate
that an applicant does not have the required
academic entry skills. Applicants who have
demonstrated academic proficiency through either
previous college course work or College Boards
(SAT or ACT) may be exempt from testing.
4. Health Records Requirement
A student who may need special accommodations
due to a physical or mental disability/handicap
must submit his/her medical history on a health
record card. (Health record cards are available from
the College's Admissions Office.) The health card
should be submitted well in advance of the term in
which the student plans to enroll to allow the
College to prepare for any special needs. The card
must be received before the student can begin
classes. A disability or handicap will not be used
to deny a person admission to the College.
5. Tuition Deposit and Tuition Payment
All full-time applicants who have been accepted as
degree-seeking or certificate-seeking students
must submit a $100 tuition deposit. The tuition
deposit will be credited to the student's tuition for
the first semester. If the student does not enroll
and notifies the College by July 1 for the fall
semester and December 1 for the spring semester,
the College will refund 80 percent of the tuition
deposit.
The tuition deposit will hold a space in class until
the announced deadline. Students who have not
met their total financial obligations for the
semester by the deadline will forfeit their class
space. As a result, someone from the College's
waiting list may take their space in the program.

3. All international students who are accepted must
take the College's placement tests. Placement into
the appropriate level of courses will be determined
by the tests. International students must arrange

not need to submit an application fee. They may be
required to submit a health records card. (See Health
Records Requirement on page 3.)
f. Applicants to Automated Manufacturing
Technology must have the competencies of the
first semester Machinist courses.
Admission of International Students
The Williamsport Area Community College believes
that the presence of international students on
campus will enrich the educational environment for
all students. The College is authorized under federal
law to enroll non-immigrant alien students on "F-l"
student visas. An "Application for Admission" and all
supporting documents must be received in the
Admissions Office at least two weeks prior to the
day of late registration for the term in which the
student plans to enroll.
All transcripts, test scores, and other credentials
become the property of the College and will not be
returned or transferred to another institution.
In addition to the College's general admission
requirements, international students must fulfill the
following requirements:
1. All international students whose native language is
not English are required to take the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
1. A student who:
a. reenrolls in the same program in which he/she
was last enrolled, and
b. reenrolls less than two years after he/she last
attended the College,
may be required to meet graduation requirements
in effect at the time the student was originally
enrolled.
2. A student who:
a. reenrolls in the same program in which he/she
was last enrolled, and
b. reenrolls two or more years after he/she last
attended the College,
must meet current graduation requirements. All
course work previously completed will be reviewed
on a course by course basis to determine whether
it meets current graduation requirements. All
courses completed will remain on the student's
transcript. Only credits for courses which meet the
current program requirements will be used in
calculating the student's cumulative grade point
average.
3. If a student reenrolls in a program different from
the one in which he/she was last enrolled, each
ADMISSION-5
course previously taken will be evaluated to
determine whether it meets the requirements of
the new program. Only credits for courses which
meet the requirements of the current program will
be used in calculating the student's cumulative
grade point average. However, all courses
completed will remain on the student's transcript.
Students reenrolling in a new program are required
to meet the graduation requirements for the new
program in effect at the time they reenroll.
Special circumstances may be appealed to the
Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee, who
may waive the conditions given above.
Change of Program
A change of program may be made at the beginning
of any semester. Currently enrolled students who
wish to change from one program of study to
another must follow the steps below:
1. Complete an "Admissions Application" and submit
it to the Admissions Office. Acceptance into the
new program will be based on the date the
applicant's file is complete in the Admissions
Office.
2. Complete a "Curriculum Change" form; obtain all
required signatures (advisor, counseling, division
director, financial aid, admissions). Submit the
form to the Student Records Office.
When a student changes his/her program, all credits
earned in the prior program will be evaluated for
transfer to the new program. All prior course work
will appear on the student's transcript. Only courses
applicable to the new program will be used to
calculate the student's new cumulative grade point
average.
Transfer Students
Students from other colleges who wish to transfer to
The Williamsport Area Community College must
follow the procedure below:
1. Complete steps listed under Admission Procedure,
(see page 2) with the exception of "High School
Graduation."
2. Ask all college(s) previously attended to send an
official transcript to The Williamsport Area
Community College Admissions Office. The
College may also request a high school transcript.
3. Provide course descriptions or a college catalog to
the Admissions Office for use in evaluating
courses completed at another institution.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credit includes: credit for courses earned at
another institution, college credit earned before high
school graduation, service credit, United States
Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) credit, and credit
earned through the College Level Examination
Program (CLEP).
A maximum of 30 transfer credits may be applied
toward a degree or certificate. Courses to be
considered for transfer must have been completed
with a grade of "C" or better. However, if a student
earns a cumulative "C" average or better in
sequential courses (for example, English 1 and
English 2) an exception may be made based on the
evaluation of the courses. Courses taken more than
two years before the student enrolls at The
Williamsport Area Community College may be
evaluated (on a course-by-course basis) to determine
if they are equivalent to courses currently required in
the student's program. A copy of the evaluation of
transfer credit will be sent to the student.
All transfer credit will appear on the student's
transcript after the student successfully completes
one semester of academic work at The Williamsport
Area Community College. Transfer credit will appear
on the transcript with credit value only. Transfer
students will enroll without any cumulative grade
point average. A student must be enrolled in courses
at The Williamsport Area Community College for at
least the last 12 credit hours of his/her program.
Requirements for the evaluation of different forms of
transfer credit are listed below.
1. Transfer from Another Institution
All credits earned at a previously attended
institution(s) will be evaluated for transfer credit.
The student must send The Williamsport Area
Community College Admissions Office an official
catalog description of each course to be evaluated
and a description of the grading codes (if the
grade codes are not defined on the transcript)
from each institution from which courses are to be
evaluated. These materials must consist of either
of the following: the institution's catalog or a
photocopy of the course descriptions and the
grade codes description taken from the
institution's catalog.
2. College Credit Earned Before High School
Graduation
College credit earned before high school
graduation will be evaluated only if the college
where the work was taken issues an official
college transcript. Students who have earned
college credit before graduation from high school
must follow the procedure defined under "Transfer
from Another Institution."
6-ADMISSION
3. Service Credit
Veterans who have served 12 consecutive months
of active military duty will be granted credit for
health and/or physical education (if required in
their program). The student must submit a copy of
his/her report of separation (DD-214) and complete
a waiver for physical education with the Health
Sciences Office.
4. United States Armed Forces Institute Credit
(USAFI)

official transcript must be mailed directly from the
USAFI in Madison, Wisconsin to the College's
Admissions Office. Credit will be granted for those

includes electives, elective credit will be granted
for those courses which are not comparable.
5. College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The College will examine CLEP results and may
grant college credit to individuals who score at
least in the fiftieth percentile rank on the CLEP
exam. The student must provide an official copy of
his/her CLEP scores to the College's Admissions
Office. The College will determine whether credit
earned through CLEP will be issued for required
credit courses or as elective credit.
Non-Degree Students
A student who does not wish to pursue a degree or
certificate program is a non-degree student. Such
students are permitted to select courses without
regard to degree or certificate requirements. If at a
later date, a non-degree student desires to enroll in a
specific degree or certificate program, an application
for admission to the program, together with any
other required credentials, must be submitted to the
Admissions Office.
Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.
They are permitted to schedule classes on a first-
come/first-served basis (after currently enrolled
students have been given the opportunity to schedule
classes). Non-degree students must complete an
"Admissions Application" form the first time they
schedule credit classes, but are not required to pay
the application fee.
Transfer Of Credits To Four-Year Institutions
The Williamsport Area Community College has
established formal agreements with Cheyney,
Kutztown, Lincoln, Lock Haven, Mansfield, and
Millersville Universities in Pennsylvania. These
agreements transfer the Associate of Arts at The
Williamsport Area Community College, under general
conditions, to these institutions with junior-level
status.
The College is negotiating similar formal agreements
with the following college and universities:
Bloomsburg University, Rochester Institute of
Technology, and Wilkes College.
Williamsport Area Community College graduates
earning Associate of Applied Science or Associate of
Applied Arts degrees can often transfer significant
portions of their A.A.S. or AAA. program of study to
a four-year college or university. The College has a
formal agreement with Lock Haven University which
recognizes A.A.S. and A.A.A. degrees from The
Williamsport Area Community College as part of a
Bachelor of Science in General Studies-Technology
Management degree. B.S. degrees with specialities in
areas other than management are under discussion
between the College and Lock Haven University.
If you would like detailed information about
transferability of specific courses or programs, please
consult your division director.
Housing
Students are responsible for making their own
housing arrangements. The Admissions Office,
Academic Center, Room 104, maintains a list of area
housing facilities for men and women. Prospective
students are urged to make arrangements for housing
as soon as possible after being admitted. A brochure
containing guidelines on obtaining housing is
available. The College does not sponsor, approve,
disapprove, evaluate or supervise the listed facilities.
Any agreement for renting is solely between the
landlord and student.
Health Services
Student Health Services is staffed by a registered
nurse and is open Monday through Friday from 8
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the fall and spring
semesters. First aid, health counseling, and
assistance in obtaining private health care is
available. Costs for private health care are the
student's responsibility. Student Health Services is
located on the first floor of the Gymnasium, Room
104.
Student Retention Data
Persons interested in obtaining data on student
retention (number of students who enroll at the
College and number who actually complete their
program) should contact the Registrar/Director of
Institutional Research, Academic Center, Room 110.

guidelines established by the Board of Trustees'
policy for deferred fee status (given below).
Any student whose fee is in arrears after the first
day of classes shall be subject to a $20 deferred
processing fee.
Students who are unable to pay tuition and fees in

10-FINANCIAL AID
FINANCIAL AID
Recognizing that the cost of education is often
greater than the student and his/her family can afford
without help, the Financial Aid Office helps students
obtain financial assistance through a variety of aid
programs:
Grants
Scholarships
Loans
College Work-Study Program
Veteran's Benefits
Vocational Rehabilitation Sponsorship
Part-Time Employment
Every student is encouraged to thoroughly explore
each of the above programs, and to contact the
Financial Aid Office for assistance in obtaining and
completing applications for aid.
Employment
Students interested in part-time employment other
than the College Work-Study programs should
contact the Advisement and Career Services Center
for further information.
Special Attention
Deadlines
Students who want the fullest consideration for all
awards should have all needed application materials
complete and on file in the Financial Aid Office as
soon as possible. For the 1987-88 year, for example,
completed applications for some forms of aid should
be filed by March 1, 1987. Applications received after
this date will be processed and students filing late
will be considered for aid, but only after other
applications received by the deadline have been
received and awards made.
An exception to the above deadline is made for the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Loan applications
may be submitted at any time during the year, but
should be filed early enough to allow for the six to
eight week processing time prior to loan approval and
release of funds to the applicant.
Need Analysis Forms
To determine a student's financial eligibility for
awards, especially Supplemental Grants and Work-
Study awards, a review of the family financial
situation must be completed.
The College uses the Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency system for need analysis
purposes. These forms can be obtained from the
College's Financial Aid Office, high schools and the
state agency.
Policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress
This policy applies to all students receiving financial
aid from federal or state student assistance

Study/Guaranteed Student Loan/Plus Loan):
A full-time student who receives aid from the Pell,
SEOG, or College Work Study programs must make
satisfactory academic progress in order to continue
to be eligible for aid. Students shall be considered to
be making satisfactory progress if, based on
academic achievement, the College allows them to
continue their enrollment, provided that they
successfully complete at least 24 credits by the end
of the first academic year.
Students whose cumulative grade point average falls
below 2.00 will be placed on academic probation,
and a decision on their continued enrollment will be
made by the Probation Committee. Students on
academic probation may continue to receive financial
aid, provided they successfully complete at least 24
credits by tfie end of tbe first academic year.
1/ff
■ V, .
After receiving aid for the fourth semester of a two-
year program or ttie second semester of a one-year
program the student will not be eligible for additional
aid until after graduation from the program. In
addition, any student who changes programs two or
more times will be determined ineligible pending
further review.
Any part-time student who receives aid and who
fails, withdraws from, or receives an incomplete in
two or more courses in which he/she was enrolled
during an academic year (or the equivalent) shall be
ineligible for further aid until he/she completes
courses equivalent in credits to the number which
were not successfully completed.
Credits earned through advanced placement or life
experience and external transfer credits may be used
to meet graduation requirements, but may not be
included in the number needed for satisfactory
progress for financial aid purposes.
Students determined to be ineligible for additional aid
may appeal this determination by writing to the
Director of Financial Aid or his/her designee, stating
the basis for appeal. Exceptions may be made based
on extenuating circumstances including, but not
limited to, documented illness, change of program or
FINANCIAL AID-11
the required completion of Developmental Studies
courses. The Director or designee will inform the
student in writing of the decision, specifying the
duration of time or other conditions under which an
exception has been made, or explaining the reason
for denying the appeal and detailing the actions
necessary for the student to regain eligibility. A
student may request a review of the decision in a
meeting of the student. Director of Financial Aid and
the Dean of Student Services.
State Program (PHEAA):
PHEAA regulations require that for each year of a
PHEAA grant, a student must successfully complete
24 credits, otherwise the student will be ineligible to
receive additional grants. Appeals must be made
directly to PHEAA. This policy is subject to revision
by PHEAA.

Pre-Medical Emphasis
The Pre-Medical Emphasis offers preparation for careers in
medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, veterinary
medicine, chiropractic, other health professions, and
scientific research. The program also meets the needs of
students interested in fields like chemistry, physics and
biology. Because of the rigorous and time-consuming
nature of the medical programs — which include much
training in clinical laboratories and patient-related
experiences — students should have aptitudes in
mathematics and science. Laboratory experience and
manual dexterity are also important.

INDIVIDUAL STUDIES PROGRAM
Individual Studies is the most flexible program offered by
the College. It is designed for the student who wants to
explore a number of careers — people interested in personal
enrichment — someone who wants to prepare for a very
specialized career — anyone whose educational goals are not
met by the College's other programs. Cooperative
education options are available to students enrolled in
Individual Studies.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the Individual Studies Program the
student will have developed one or more of the following:
1. awareness of his/her academic and manual abilities and
careers in which they can be applied.
2. extensive knowledge of one or more subjects.
3. technical skills in one or more areas and general
knowledge in desired academic subjects.
4. entry-level job skills in a paraprofessional or technical
field.
5. completion of courses required for the four-year
program into which he/she intends to transfer.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
1. Successfully complete the College's graduation
requirements for all Associate Degree Programs. (See
pg. 131.)
2. Successfully complete a minimum of sixty (60) credits
of Associate Degree level course work:
a. The 60 credit hours must include 12 credits of
General Education Core courses (see page 80 for a
list of General Education Core course subjectsl as
specified below:
Communications 6 credits
Mathematics or Statistics 3 credits
Humanities OR Social Sciences OR
Natural Sciences 3-4 credits
b. Full-time students must complete four additional
credits of Fitness & Lifetime Sports, bringing the
total number of required credits to 64; part-time
students may be exempted from this requirement.
3. Complete all placement testing required by the College.
Students must demonstrate basic mastery of English,
reading, and mathematics through placement testing or
through successful completion of appropriate courses
(Developmental Studies courses! designed to provide
basic skills and competencies in these areas.
4. The student must complete a planned educational
program of studies.
This plan should be developed by the student and his
or her advisor and be filed with the appropriate Division
Director prior to the completion of eighteen 118)
semester hours of credit.
CURRICULUM POSSIBILITIES
Students in Individual Studies select courses based almost
entirely on their goals. Advisors work with students in
designing programs and selecting the courses which will
best meet their needs. It may take longer than two years to
complete courses desired because of scheduling conflicts.
This is particularly true for students who schedule
laboratory or shop courses which require large blocks of
time.
A special Individual Studies option - in Respiratory Therapy
Technician -is offered in cooperation with the Harrisburg
Area Community College (See page 861.
AN EXAMPLE OF A PLANNED INDIVIDUAL STUDIES
PROGRAM
A person may wish to enroll in the Individual Studies
program to prepare for a particular occupational specialty.
For example, someone who enjoys flower arranging and
cooking might want to prepare to own and run a catering
business. Courses could be selected from Food and
Hospitality Management, Floriculture, Business, and related
areas. One possible selection of 64 credits of course work
follows:
Food and Hospitality Management
Quantity Food Preparation
Menu Planning & Cost Control
Purchasing, Storage & Sanitation
Hospitality Merchandising
Equipment & Layouts
Personnel Management, Work Simplification
Floriculture
Floral Design I
Floral Design II
Flower Shop Operation
Business

Another student with this same career goal might choose
to emphasize another area depending on interest and prior
experience. For example, someone who had prepared food
for many large parties in their own home might feel quite
competent in the food area and wish to emphasize
business courses. The exact combination of courses in the
individual studies program is decided entirely by the
individual, with the help of an advisor.

STUDENT
SERVICES
Orientation
Prospective students participate in an orientation
program designed to introduce them to the college
community and its various services and activities.
Students also schedule the appropriate academic
courses for their first semester.
Advisement and Career Services Center
The Advisement and Career Services Center is
located in Room 157, Learning Resources Center,
adjacent to the Library. Advisement and Career
Services houses a wide variety of occupational and
educational information, including pamphlets,
booklets, film strips and other career library
resources. Staff members are available to work with
individuals as they use these materials and to provide
counseling for those who need assistance in career
decision making. Other services include programs in
resume writing, interview training, and job search
strategies. The Advisement and Career Services
Center is open to both students and non-students.
Staff are available to help students with personal,
academic, and career problems. The staff (with
assistance from special faculty advisors) also help all
new students select courses.
Advisors: Each student is assigned an academic
advisor. The advisor is usually an instructor in the
student's program area. Students should discuss
academic concerns or problems with their advisor.
Counselors: Counselors are available to aid students
in resolving many types of problems. Such problems
may involve social, emotional, vocational, and
personal concerns. Any need or concern which is
perceived by the student as important will be viewed
in the same way by the counselor. Information
shared with a counselor will be held in confidence.
College Transfer
The Advisement and Career Services Center also
assists students who need advice about transferring
to other educational institutions. We keep a complete
file of college catalogs and have statistics on various
programs into which our students have transferred.
Career Services
Career services are designed to aid the prospective
graduate seeking employment information. The
Advisement and Career Services Center maintains a
file of full-time job opportunities as well as addresses
of prospective employers. A library of company
literature and applications is maintained in the office
for students' use. Information on full and part-time
job openings is also published regularly in The
SPOTLIGHT (student newspaper).
The Advisement and Career Services Center
schedules on-campus interviews for companies
which come to the College to recruit prospective
graduates. Companies recruiting on campus include a
number of leading industries from across the country.
On-campus recruitment usually takes place from
September through December and from February
through April. Information on these interviews is
announced in The SPOTLIGHT and in the New Week

ACADEMIC
INFORMATION
Classification of Students
12
Full-Time: A full-time student is one who carries
or more credits. Sixteen hours of lecture/
demonstration, or 48 hours of shop/lab, equal one
credit.
Part-Time: A degree or certificate candidate who
carries fewer than 12 credits per semester is enrolled
as a part-time student.
Non-Degree: A non-degree student is one who is not
enrolled in a degree or certificate program. Non-
degree students can select courses without regard to
degree or certificate requirements. Non-degree
students are not eligible for financial aid. They are
permitted to schedule classes on a first-come, first-
served basis (after currently enrolled students have
been given the opportunity to schedule classes).
Non-degree students must complete an "Admissions
Application" form the first time they schedule
classes, but are not required to pay the application
fee.
Special Student: A handicapped student who cannot
meet some of the requirements in certain shop
programs is awarded a special certificate. It is not
awarded to a student who may have failed to meet
the requirements of a certificate program. Students
must notify the College-PRIOR TO BEGINNING A
PROGRAM — if they want to complete only part of
the program and earn a special certificate. Exceptions
will be made only for a student who becomes
handicapped while enrolled in a certificate program.
Students age 18 or older who do not have a high
school diploma or the equivalent may also be
classified as "special students.".
Satisfactory Progress: As long as a postsecondary
student is officially enrolled and officially permitted
to continue his/her studies toward a degree or
certificate at the College, the student will be
considered to be making satisfactory progress.
Students receiving financial aid must meet additional
criteria as explained in the Financial Aid section of
this catalog (page 10) in order to continue to be
eligible to receive financial aid.
Scheduling/Registration
Because the number of students who can register for
any class is limited, all students should schedule
classes during the announced scheduling period. The
ACADEMIC INFORMATION-127
College strongly urges all students to complete their
registration, including payment of all fees, before the
announced day of Late Registration for each
semester. On the day of Late Registration students
may schedule classes on a first-come/first-served
basis. The College does not guarantee any student
the right to register after Late Registration day.
Credit Load
The academic year is divided into two semesters of
approximately 16 weeks each. The normal full-time
load per semester is 12 to 18 credit-hours. Students
should allow an average of at least two hours
preparation for each credit-hour of course work.
There are two sessions of varying length offered
during the summer (May-August). For purposes of
enrollment verification a student is considered to be
enrolled full-time during the summer if his/her credit
load totals 12 or more credits during both summer
sessions.
Academic Overload
An academic/credit overload occurs when a student
enrolls for more than 18 credits per semester (except
for students in programs which require more than 18
credits per semester). In a summer session, an
academic overload occurs when a student enrolls in
more than 6 credits at the same time.
Students who want to schedule a credit overload
must obtain permission from the Division Director of
the program in which they are enrolled.
A student must have earned a 3.00 cumulative grade
point average or a 3.00 average the previous
semester in order to qualify to schedule a credit
overload. Exceptions must be approved by the Dean
of Academic Affairs or his/her designee.
Change of Course
After the official registration period is over, the
student may make adjustments in his/her schedule
through the process of adding and/or dropping
courses.
Dropping a Course: A student may drop a credit
course during the first three weeks — or the first 20
percent of instruction — of the term by having his/her
advisor complete the appropriate section of a
"Student Status Change" form. The instructor of the
course being dropped and the advisor must sign the
form. The course will not appear on the student's
academic record. After the third week (or equivalent)
the student must withdraw from the course. (See
Terminations, Withdrawals and Refunds, page 132.)
Adding a Course: A student may add a course during
the first week of classes (two days in Summer Term)
by having his/her advisor complete and sign the
appropriate portion of a "Student Status Change"
form.
The approval of the appropriate Division Director and
the Associate Dean must be obtained if a course is
added after the first week of classes.
Developmental courses and any related course work
required may be dropped or added until the end of
the third week of classes.
The Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee
may make exceptions in special circumstances.
Change of Program
A change of program may be made at the beginning
of any semester. Currently enrolled students who
wish to change from one program of study to
another must follow the steps below.
1. Complete an "Admission Application" and submit
it to the Admissions Office. Acceptance into the
new program will be based on sponsorship status
and on the date the applicant's file is complete in
the Admissions Office.
2. Complete a "Curriculum/Program Change" form
and obtain all required signatures. Submit the form
to the Student Records Office.
When a student changes his/her program, all credits
earned in the prior program will be evaluated for
transfer to the new program. All courses will appear
on the student's transcript. Only courses applicable
to the new program will be used to calculate the
student's new cumulative grade point average.
Repeating a "D" or "F" Course
Students may repeat a course in which they earned a
grade of "D" or "F". However, they must improve the
grade of the repeated course to affect their
cumulative grade point average. If the student
repeats the course at The Williamsport Area
Community College and improves his/her grade, both
grades will appear on the permanent record card
with the higher grade used in calculating the
cumulative grade point average. If the student
repeats the equivalent course at another institution
and transfers the course to the College (subject to
Transfer Policy, see page 5), the original grade
remains on the transcript but is not included in the
semester or cumulative average. (The credits for the
transferred course will not be used in calculating the
student's cumulative grade point average.) If the
student repeats a course and earns a second "D" or
"F", the second grade and credits will not be used in
calculating the cumulative grade point average.
Auditing a Course
Auditors are not required to prepare lessons or papers
or take examinations, nor do they receive credit for
the course. Students are charged full tuition for
courses taken on an audit basis.
128-ACADEMIC INFORMATION
With the consent of the instructor and the Dean of
Academic Affairs, a student may enroll as an auditor
in any course.
Students must inform the Student Records Office
that a course is being taken on an audit basis when
they schedule. A student may not change from credit
to audit status or from audit to credit status after the
beginning of the semester.
Grading System
The College uses the following system of grading
(4.00 basis) to indicate the quality of a student's
work:
Grade
Interpretation
Grade Points
A
Superior
4
B
Above Average
3
C

W
Withdrawn
—
WP
Withdrawn Passing
—
WF
Withdrawn Failing
0
I
Incomplete
—
AU
Audit
—
SP
Satisfactory Progress
—
An instructor may assign an "I", Incomplete, grade to
give a student additional time to complete required
course work if the student has missed an exceptional
number of classes due to accident, illness or other
extenuating circumstances. An Incomplete will not be
used to extend the time a student has to complete
class requirements beyond the normal allotted time.
If a student is awarded a letter grade of "I", the
instructor will submit an incomplete grade form with
the student's grade roster. The form describes the
work which must be completed and gives a deadline
for completing the work. The deadline date will be
before the end of the following semester. Copies of
the incomplete grade form will be sent to the student
and his/her advisor. A permanent "F" will be
recorded if the work is not completed prior to the
end of the following semester.
"SP", Satisfactory Progress, is used for certain
students in Developmental Studies courses. "SP",
Satisfactory Progress, will be awarded if students do
not complete all course requirements but do meet
the requirements for "SP" as established in the
syllabus for a particular developmental course.
Students earning an "SP" will reenroll in the same
course. Upon mastery of all course objectives, the
student will earn a traditional letter grade (in the
semester in which the course requirements were
met).
Grade Reports
At the midpoint of each fall and spring semester
course a grade of "P" (Passing), "D" (Deficient), or
"F" (Failing) is reported for each student officially
registered in each course. Each grade is advisory
only, indicating the quality of work up to that point in
the semester. Mid-term advisory grades do not
become part of the student's permanent record. Final
semester grades will be mailed after the end of the
semester or summer session. The grade report will
show all course work completed to date by the
student. Students should check the cumulative grade
report for accuracy and to be certain they are
meeting graduation requirements. To protect the
confidentiality of the student's record and in
compliance with federal law, no grades will be given
over the phone.
Since the grade report is also an unofficial copy of
their transcript, students may use their grade report
when an unofficial transcript is required. (For
information on obtaining official transcripts, see page
9).
Cumulative Grade Point Average
A student's cumulative grade point average is
computed by dividing the number of grade points by
the total number of credits for which the student has
earned a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF. No other
grades in the College's grading system are used in
the calculation.
The cumulative grade point average includes: 1)
Credit for Williamsport Area Community College
courses completed by a student currently enrolled in
a degree or certificate program; 2) Credit for
Williamsport Area Community College courses
previously completed by a student who reenrolls in
the same program when such credits are appropriate
for the new program; 3) Credit for Williamsport Area
Community College courses previously completed by
a student who reenrolls in a different program when
such courses are appropriate for the new program; 4)
Credit for Williamsport Area Community College
courses previously completed by a student who
changes to a different program when such credits are
appropriate for the new program; 5) Credit earned
through cross-registration with Lycoming College.
The cumulative grade point average does not include
credits from the following: 1) CLEP exams; 2)
Advanced Placement; 3) Credit by Exam; 4) Credit
for Work/Life Experience; 5) U.S. Armed Forces
Institute Credit and Service Credit; 6) Credit
transferred to The Williamsport Area Community
College from another institution; 7) Credits previously
earned by a student who changes to a different
Williamsport Area Community College program or
who reenrolls in a program when such credit does
not meet the current requirements for the new
program; 8) Credits for courses in which the student
earned a "D" or "F" if the student repeats the
course. If the student repeats the course at The
Williamsport Area Community College and earns a
higher grade, the higher grade will be used in
calculating the cumulative grade point average. If the
student repeats the equivalent course at another
institution and transfers the course to The
Williamsport Area Community College, the original
grade remains on the transcript but is not included in
the cumulative average. (The grade for the
transferred course is not included in the cumulative
grade point average.)
Withholding Grades
A student's grades and records will not be released if
the student has any outstanding loans or fines (for
example, parking fines or library fines) at the College
or if the student has outstanding obligations to the
College for the return/replacement of items such as
books, tools or equipment. When a hold is placed on
a student's grades, the student will be notified in
writing of the hold and of the action needed to
release his/her grades or records.
Advanced Placement Credit
The Williamsport Area Community College believes
that placing students at the proper educational level
will contribute to the student's success in College.
Advanced placement is designed to give students
credit for the skills or competencies they have
acquired prior to entering College. Students who have
completed advanced courses in high school, in an
area vocational technical school program, or as part
of military training, and those with prior educational
experiences may be eligible for advanced placement.
We recommend that applications for advanced
placement be submitted by March 15 for students
who plan to enroll in the fall semester, by November
15 for students who plan to enroll in the spring
semester, and by April 15 for students who plan to
enroll in the summer semester.
Students from area vocational technical schools with
which the College has Task Level Articulation
Agreements can obtain advanced placement on the
basis of an instructor-verified list of competencies.
Such students must also take the College's reading,
English and math placement tests as early as
possible so that they can take developmental
courses, if needed, in the summer before they begin
their regular program.
New students will receive a schedule of advanced
placement test offerings showing the date and times
when tests will be given. The student should indicate
which test(s) he/she wishes to take and return the
form to the appropriate Division office.
A copy of the evaluation of the advanced placement
test or other assessment will be sent to the student.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION 129
A fee of $25 per course will be charged when credit
from advanced placement testing is entered on the
transcript.* Credit earned through advanced
placement will be shown on the student's transcript
after the fee is paid and the student has successfully
completed one semester at the College. Up to a
maximum of 30 credits may be granted through non-
traditional credit evaluation (advanced placement,
credit by exam, and work/life experience). Advanced
placement credit is not used in calculating the
student's cumulative grade point average. Only the
course number, title, and number of credits will be
entered on the transcript. No letter grades will be
shown.
*The $25 fee will not be charged for secondary
students assessed externally and for certain
developmental courses which are exempt.
Credit By Exam
Students may apply to take any College course by
examination. In order to challenge a course by
examination, a student must have completed at least
12 credits at The Williamsport Area Community
College and have earned a grade point average of
2.00. Application to take a course by examination
must be made in writing to the appropriate Division
Director. Approval must then be given by the
instructor(s) of the course involved and the Division
Director. Students who decide to challenge a course
after enrolling in it must arrange for testing to take
place prior to the third week of instruction (or the
equivalent).
If approval is granted, a fee of $25 must be paid at
the Bursar's Office prior to each examination. No
examination will be prepared or administered until the
student presents the $25 receipt. The examination
fee will be waived for students seeking credit for ENL
111 (English Composition I) or RDG 111 (College
Reading, Reasoning and Study Skills) as a result of
outstanding performance in the respective
developmental counterpart, i.e., ENL 011 (Basic
English) or RDG 010 (Reading Improvement).
The examination is prepared, administered (at the
time set by the Division Director), and evaluated by
the instructor(s) of the course. A copy of the result
of the examination will be sent to the student. When
a student passes the examination for the course, the
course number, title, and number of credits only will
be entered on the student's transcript. (No letter
grades will be listed on the transcript.) A maximum
of 30 credits may be earned through non-traditional
credit evaluation (work and/or life experience,
advanced placement, credit by exam). Credit by exam
may not be used to remove a D, F, or WF grade. An
examination in a specific subject may be taken only
once. All exceptions to the above requirements must
be approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs or
his/her designee.
130-ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Credit for Work and/or Life Experience
The College recognizes that many individuals acquire
rich academic and technical experiences through
working and/or living in a particular situation.
Students who have been accepted to the College and
who feel their work or living experiences warrant
consideration for academic credit should apply in
writing to the Division Director responsible for the
course(s) involved. The application must include
evidence and rationale for granting credit.
The Division Director will appoint a committee to
assess the candidate's educational and work
background. The student will be asked to document
his/her work and life experiences and to show that
the experiences are equal to a course(s) offered at
the College. The committee will also interview the
student. The committee will recommend the number
of credits to be awarded. A fee of $25 per course
will be charged for the evaluation of credit.
A copy of the evaluation of work and/or life
experience will be sent to the student. Credit earned
through work/life experience will be shown on the
student's transcript after he/she earns 12 credits at
the College. Credit for work/life experience will not
be used in calculating the student's cumulative grade
point average. No letter grade will be listed on the
student's transcript. Up to a maximum of 30 credits
may be earned through non-traditional credit
evaluation (work and/or life experience, advanced
placement, credit by exam). All exceptions to the
above requirements must be approved by the Dean of
Academic Affairs or his/her designee.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education (co-op) offers students the
opportunity to participate in supervised periods of
relevant and meaningful employment. While on co-op
assignment, students work as regular employees of
the co-op employer, receive vocational counseling,
and earn academic credit for knowledge and/or skills
acquired from their work experience. Co-op may be
used to replace or supplement required courses in
most programs.
The following options are available to qualified
students in most programs:
1. Alternating Plan: Students rotate periods of full-
time work and full-time on-campus study.
2. Parallel Plan: Students work part time and attend
regular classes during the same semester or
summer session.
3. Summer Plan: Students work full time during a
summer session followed by a parallel plan co-op
during the following semesters.
4. Career Advancement Plan: Students attend college
on a part-time basis while working either full or
part time at their regular (not a "co-op") job.
Designed for employed students.
5. APCO (Advanced Placement with the Co-op
Option): Students who have completed a related
vo-tech program receive advanced placement and
are encouraged to participate in part or full-time
co-op while attending college.
Variations of the above options are possible,
depending upon job and College requirements. Co-op
placements can range from eight weeks to a full
semester or summer of 15-16 weeks.
In order to participate in Cooperative Education, a
student must have successfully completed a
minimum of one full semester (12 credits) or its
equivalent and must maintain a cumulative average
of 2.00 or better. (A 2.50 average in courses related
to the student's program is recommended.)
The Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee
may waive these requirements in the following
situations:
1. If the College determines that the student has
acquired competencies — through previous training
and/or experience — which are equivalent to those
provided during one full semester of instruction at
the College.
2. When the student's cumulative average falls below
the level required and/or recommended due to
special circumstances.
A student who is unable to meet and maintain either
the behavioral or performance standards established
for co-op employment may, with just cause, be
withdrawn from co-op employment by either the
employer or the College.
A student may withdraw or be withdrawn from co-op
employment without penalty if — for any well-founded
reason— the work site is deemed to be unsafe or if
the level of work assigned does not meet the
learning objectives established by the student and
the College.
Employer Participation
Employers who can provide full-time or part-time
positions which meet the following qualifications are
encouraged to participate in the co-op program:
1. The job must provide educational experiences in
an area directly related to the student's course of
study or career goals.
2. The job must provide learning experiences that will
be meaningful and challenging for the student.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION-131
3. The job should be relatively secure in order to
provide at least one or more full co-op work terms.
4. The employer will cooperate with the College and
the student in developing specific learning
objectives for each work period.
5. The employer will enter into a training agreement
with the College and the student.
6. At the end of the work experience, the employer
agrees to evaluate the student's performance and
progress toward meeting specific learning
objectives.
Specific information can be obtained directly from
the student's academic division or by contacting:

Cross-Registration with Lycoming College
The Williamsport Area Community College
participates in a cross-registration program with
Lycoming College. In order to cross-register for
courses at Lycoming College, a Williamsport Area
Community College student must obtain the
permission of his/her advisor and division director,
the Dean of Academic Affairs and the academic dean
at Lycoming College. In order to participate in this
program, students must:
1. be enrolled on a full-time basis in a degree or
certificate program.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION 133
Students who do not officially terminate from the
College in the manner described above will receive
the grade of "F" or "WF" in all courses.
College Termination
The College reserves the right to terminate
enrollment of any student or to withhold the degree
of any student, if, in the opinion of College
authorities, his/her further association is not in the
best interests of the student or the College. Specific
situations in which the College may terminate a
student include, but are not limited to:
1. Failure to meet financial obligations.
2. Failure to meet requirements or to complete
objectives in a given program and/or course.
3. Failure to demonstrate safe practices.
Recommended procedures for appealing questions on
academic evaluation are given in the Student
Handbook.
Withdrawal/Termination From A Course
Student Withdrawal — After the official drop/add
period for the term {the end of the third week or 20
percent of instruction) until the end of the tenth
week, or equivalent, for each term, a student may
withdraw from a College course with a grade of "W"
(unless the student is withdrawn from the course by
the College for absenteeism — in which case the
student will receive a grade of "WF").
If a student withdraws from a course after the tenth
week (or equivalent), the instructor, with the approval
of the appropriate Division Director, will award a
grade of "WP" or "WF." No credit is given for a
"WP" grade. A "WF" grade affects the student's
grade point average in the same manner as an "F". If
a student stops attending a class without officially
withdrawing from the course, the student will receive
a grade of "WF" or "F." Students may withdraw
from courses until the last day of classes.
Students must complete and submit a "Student
Status Change" form to withdraw from a course.
College Initiated Termination — When an instructor
determines that a student is not adequately meeting
course objectives and has missed more than the
equivalent of the class hours in one week of
instruction, the instructor MAY recommend that the
student be withdrawn from the class by the College.
The College will withdraw a student from a course
for excessive absences only after the first three
weeks (or 20 percent of instruction). A grade of
"WF" will be recorded on the student's transcript.
Refunds
Charges for tuition, activity fees and service fees are
refundable upon official withdrawal/termination from
the College. Application fees are not refundable. A
"Request for Refund" form can be obtained from the
Bursar's Office. In order to obtain a refund, the
"Request for Refund" form and the necessary
"Student Status Change" form(s) must be submitted
at the same time.
Refunds of tuition and fees will be made according
to the following schedule for fall and spring
semesters:
Prior to the first day of classes 100% Refund
First day through third week 70% Refund
After third week of classes No Refund
Refunds will be made according to the following
schedule for the summer semesters and for courses
that do not meet for the entire semester (for
example, some weekend college classes and "mini-
courses," eight-week courses, etc.).
Prior to the first day of classes 100% Refund
First day through 20% of total 70% Refund
instructional hours
After 20% of total instructional hours No Refund

On admission to The Williamsport Area Community
College you accept unqualified commitment to
conduct yourself at all times, both on and off the
campus, in a responsible manner which conforms
with the generally accepted standard of adult
behavior. It is expected that you will show courtesy
and respect for the administrative officers, faculty,
and employees in your personal contacts. You must
also understand and accept the necessity for various
College regulations and comply with the directives of
those authorized to enforce the regulations. If you
conduct yourself in a manner contrary to the best
interests of the College you will be subject to such
penalties as the circumstances justify, including
suspension or expulsion. Additional information
regarding student conduct on campus and student
judicial procedures is available in the Student
Handbook. All students are expected to read and
follow the policies in the handbook.
A student may be suspended or dismissed for
improper conduct, failure to comply with College
regulations, academic dishonesty, habitual absences,
lack of effort and interest, possession of, or being
under the influence of alcoholic beverages or illegal
drugs, or under other circumstances as determined
by the Board of Trustees.
If all cases where academic dishonesty is
established, the student may be dropped from the
course with a grade of "F". For a second offense, the
student may be dismissed from the College. In a case
involving a question of academic dishonesty, the
professor in whose class the incident is alleged to
have occurred will consult with the appropriate
Division Director regarding disciplinary action.
Attendance Policy
1. Regular and prompt attendance at all classes and
at scheduled conferences with instructors is
expected of all students. All work missed because
of absence, regardless of the cause, must be made
up to the satisfaction of the instructor. Students
who know that they will be absent are expected
to get assignments from instructors in advance so
that the necessary work will be completed before
the student leaves, or immediately upon his/her
return. This applies to absences for College
activity trips as well as absences for other
reasons. In all cases of anticipated absence,
students should confer with their instructors in
advance whenever possible.
2. All faculty are required to record attendance daily.
3. When a student, in the instructor's judgment, is
not adequately meeting the course objectives and
has missed more than the equivalent of the class
hours held in one week of instruction, the
instructor MAY recommend the student be
withdrawn from class by the College.
If, in the judgment of the instructor, extenuating
circumstances are involved (e.g., a death in the
family, hospitalization, illness, or serious accident),
the following alternatives are available to the student.
a. To arrange with the instructor's approval a
stated plan for meeting course objectives and
responsibilities. If completion of the approved
plan extends beyond the semester, the student
can receive an "I" grade (Incomplete).
b. Until the end of the tenth week, or equivalent,
of each term, the student can withdraw and
receive a "W" grade (Withdrawn).
4. Based upon the instructor's recommendation, a
decision to withdraw a student from a course MAY
be made by the appropriate Division Director.
Withdrawal from a course by the College for
excessive absences will only be done after the first
three weeks of each term or 20 percent of
instruction and will be recorded on the student's
transcript as a "WF" (Withdrawn Failing).
5. Appeal Process: Students who are withdrawn from
a course by the College may appeal the decision
within three school days of notification.
The student may appeal the decision to either the
Dean of Academic Affairs OR the Ad Hoc
Academic Policy Group consisting of the Dean of
Academic Affairs, President of the Student
Government Association, and Chairperson of the
Academic Standards and Policy Committee.
Academic Probation
Any degree or certificate candidate whose
cumulative grade point average is below 2.00 will be
placed on academic probation. A student on
probation may be required to report to the
Advisement and Career Services Center for special
counseling before registering for classes the following
semester.
A student may be terminated from the College if
his/her cumulative grade point average is under 1.50
at the end of the first semester's work, under 1.80 at
the end of the second semester's work, or under
1.90 at the end of the third semester of work. (A
semester's work is generally defined as the courses
listed for a semester in a given program, or 15 credits
of course work.) The Probation Committee will
determine the semester status in special situations.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION-135
The Probation Committee meets at the end of each
term. The Committee determines the conditions
under which students with grade point averages
below 2.00 will be permitted to continue at the
College. The Committee may also terminate students.
Students who are terminated may appeal the action
to the Chairperson of the Probation Committee or
his/her designee.
Final Examinations
Final examinations may be scheduled by instructors
at the end of each semester. A student who is
absent from a final examination without good reason
is subject to a failing grade.
Developmental Studies Program
The open admissions policy of The Williamsport Area
Community College permits most students to enroll
in the programs of their choice. However, all entering
students must exhibit competencies in the basic
skills (reading, mathematics, and written expression)
necessary for success in their programs. Students
who have not demonstrated these skills on the
college placement tests must take specific
developmental courses before enrolling in other math
and English courses required for a degree or
certificate from The Williamsport Area Community
College.
The College will award institutional credit for
developmental studies courses (courses numbered
001-099) and the grades earned in those courses will
be included in the student's grade point average.
Three developmental courses-RDG 111, CHD 100,
and CHD 101— carry elective credit and may be used
to fulfill a general elective requirement.
Developmental courses with institutional credit may
not replace any course requirement or elective.
The Developmental Studies program is designed to
serve a variety of students:
— those who lack academic skills and requirements
for the curriculum of their choice
— the "non-traditional" student
— unemployed adults
— adults returning to school after a number of years
of absence
— high school dropouts
— veterans
— those students referred to the program by
instructors who recognize a need for one or more
of the program's services
— those who require assistance and solicit the
program services on a "walk-in" basis.
The program consists of courses in math, reading,
English, personal development and decision-making.
Students may enter the entire program or part of it
as the result of counseling, placement tests,
academic record, or personal choice. While in the
program, most students will also take courses in their
curriculum. One strength of the program is the
frequent contact with staff who assist the student
with course selection, problem solving, decision
making, career planning.
Classwork is designed to promote a successful
teaching-learning atmosphere. Varied learning
strategies, individualized and self-paced instruction,
small group sessions, tutorial and media support are
characteristic of the course work.
College Opportunity Programming (COPing)
This program, funded under the Equal Education
Opportunity legislation, Act 101, serves students who
are academically and financially disadvantaged.
COPing students are chosen on the basis of their
academic potential, motivation and aspirations.
Students receive counseling and tutoring assistance
as part of the COPing program.
The COPing Program also includes a four-week
summer orientation. Students are in classes for two
weeks, studying reading, math and English, and in
shops and labs for two weeks, acquiring "hands-on"
experience. During the four-week program, students
learn about the campus, the College, the staff, the
faculty, and each other. This pre-college session
makes the first semester easier and more meaningful
for students.

SECONDARY VOCATIONAL PROGRAM -137
SECONDARY
VOCATIONAL
PROGRAM
The Williamsport Area Community College is the only
community college in the state to offer secondary
vocational education. The College's Secondary
Vocational Program is a unique example of what
school districts and a community college can provide
for their students and their communities.
The Secondary Vocational Program at The
Williamsport Area Community College provides
education and training to high school students who
want to prepare for employment following graduation
as well as those who plan to pursue advanced
education or training. High school students enrolled
in the program spend one-half of the school year (on
a nine-week alternating schedule) at their home high
schools where they complete the academic courses
required for high school graduation and the other half
of school year attending vocational/technical classes
at the College.
The Secondary Vocational Program offers a
combination of classroom work and practical
experience. Students work in the College's shops and
labs to learn and practice the skills they will need
when they begin working. Senior year students may
gain additional experience through participation in the
cooperative education program.
Graduates who want to continue their education at
the college-level in the same field of study may be
granted advanced placement credit for the skills and
competencies acquired in the program.
The College also provides a Senior Year Options
program for high school students. This program
offers qualifying students the opportunity to begin
college-level work in selected technical programs as
high school seniors.
