L I N N - B E N T O N C O M M U N I T Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 3 - 2 0 1 4 C A T A L O G 5 International Students International students must complete the admission process for international students. Application deadlines are noted on the application. LBCC admits F-1 and M-1 visas. Programs for High School Age Students LBCC continues to expand opportunities for high school-age students through partnerships with area public and private high schools. In addition to formal partnerships, LBCC offers a variety of other programs, courses, and activities for high school youth. Three of the formal programs are: • Alternative Learning Opportunities—The student is referred to LBCC by his or her high school and takes classes on campus. For more information, call 541-917-4753. • College Now—High school students receive college credit for college-level coursework they complete in high school. The courses are taught by high school teachers certified by LBCC. For more information, call 541-917-4791. • Expanded Options—Expanded Options provides eligible high school students opportunities for early entry into post-secondary education. It also emphasizes specific provisions and priorities for at-risk students and drop outs. See your high school counselor for requirements to be part of the EOP; deadlines may vary. Please visit this web site for more opportunities for high school age students: www.linnbenton.edu/go/highschool-connections Students Younger than Age 18 Credit classes: If you are 16 or 17 years old, haven’t completed high school and/or don’t hold a GED, you must file a Campus High School Programs form before you can take a credit class (forms are available online, at the First Stop Center in Takena Hall, and from high school counselors). Call 541-917-4753 for details. Students under the age of 16 are eligible to enroll only by exception. Contact Campus High School programs for more information. To take a non-credit class, you do not need to submit a Campus High School Programs form, but you do need the instructor’s permission. If you are 16 or 17 years old and want to take GED preparation classes, you must provide evidence of exemption from compulsory attendance or home schooling, or be referred by your high school through use of the Campus High School Programs form. LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program You can dually enroll at both Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University by completing one application process through OSU. This saves you time and money; it also gives you access to classes and services at both institutions. The cost of services at the institution where you currently take courses is included in your tuition and enrollment fees; in addition, you can purchase services at the partner institution. If you are taking courses at both institutions, you have access to student fee-based services at LBCC and OSU including OSU’s Dixon Recreation Center, Student Health Center, University Counseling and Psychological Services and University Housing. Financial aid is available to qualified students who are dually admitted. For further information about the DPP program, contact the LBCC Admissions Office at 541-917-4811 or visit the LBCC web site at www.linnbenton.edu/go/degree-partnership or OSU at 541-737-4411 or visit the OSU web site at www.oregonstate.edu/partnerships. In addition to the LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program, LBCC partners with other four-year schools to provide transfer ease. Opportunities exist for both traditional enrollment and completion of a BA or BS through distance education. Go to www.linnbenton.edu/go/ transfer-connections for more information about specific programs and schools. LBCC Oregon Institute of Technology Dual Enrollment Start your bachelor’s degree at Linn-Benton Community College and finish at Oregon Institute of Technology. The LBCC/OIT dual enrollment agreement provides an opportunity for students to complete one application process for enrollment at LBCC and/or OIT, allowing students to access services at both institutions. Many dually enrolled students enroll concurrently at both institutions to fulfill their educational goals and needs. LBCC and OIT have degree programs that maximize credit transfer for students. OIT is a 4-year public university with programs in Klamath Falls and Portland. The dual enrollment program is open to all U.S. citizens and residents. Special Admission Programs Some LBCC programs have stringent admission requirements, which were set to administer the college’s resources effectively and to ensure that each student has a reasonable chance of success. These programs include: • Dental Assisting • Diagnostic Imaging • Nursing • Occupational Therapy Assistant • Pharmacy Technician • Phlebotomy • Polysomnography • Veterinary Assistant Special admission programs often require prerequisite courses or skills assessments. Placement scores used as assessment for special admission programs are valid for five years. For most programs, qualified in-district applicants receive priority in the selection process. (Note: The LBCC district does not include all of Linn and Benton counties.) A student who does not meet a requirement for a special admission program may appeal by filing a petition, available in the Admissions Office. Petitions are reviewed by faculty members, who make recommendations to the Director of Enrollment Services/Registrar. Requirements, application dates and deadlines are subject to annual change. Admission requirements and application materials for each program must be downloaded from www.linnbenton.edu/go/forms (see Special Admission Bulletins). Dental Assistant The Dental Assistant program is offered once each year, beginning fall term and ending the following summer. To be accepted, you must have your application and transcripts on file by a specified date; supply proof of high school graduation or GED; successfully complete CS 120 Digital Literacy; place into RD 120 on the reading portion of the Computerized Placement Test (CPT) or successfully complete RD 115 Advanced College Reading and Learning Strategies; place into WR 121 or successfully complete WR 115 Introduction to College Writing; place into Math 60 or successfully complete MTH 020; and attend a mandatory applicant information session. Students admitted to the program must meet additional requirements prior to the first day of classes. Students are financially responsible for immunizations, criminal background check, lab fees and CPR/First Aid certification. Note: Occupational health hazards include wearing masks and latex gloves. Applicants with breathing or skin disorders should meet with the Dental Assistant advisor prior to applying for admission.
6 L I N N - B E N T O N C O M M U N I T Y C O L L E G E In addition, dental assisting can intensify carpal tunnel syndrome. Applicants with this condition also should meet with the Dental Assistant advisor prior to applying for admission. Nursing Admissions Applicants for the two-year Nursing program, which begins each fall term, must submit an application, and other college transcripts by a specified date; complete LBCC’s reading portion of the Computerized Placement Test (CPT); and complete MTH 095 Intermediate Algebra, WR 121 English Composition, BI 231 Human Anatomy and Physiology, and have a valid Oregon CNA license. Eligible applicants are ranked on a point system. See the current Nursing Bulletin for point system information at www.linnbenton.edu/go/forms. Students admitted to the program must meet additional departmental requirements prior to the first day of classes. The admission procedure is reviewed annually for the ADN program and therefore subject to change. Students are financially responsible for immunizations, criminal background check, drug screening and certification fees. Workforce Training For special admissions requirements for Diagnostic Imaging, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, Polysomnography and Veterinary Assistant, go to www.linnbenton.edu/ go/forms. Regional Programs The LBCC Board of Education has designated the following as Regional Programs, allowing out-of-state students to pay in-state tuition for the first term of their enrollment or set residency preferences based on the region served: • Agriculture • Animal Technology • Animal Technology: Horse Management • Horticulture • Diagnostic Imaging • Refrigeration/Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning • Water, Environment and Technology How to Get Started— Registration Registration Office Takena Hall 115, 541- 917-4811 To Register for Classes If you are a continuing, admitted student, you will be assigned a priority registration time each term based on the number of credits you have earned at LBCC plus your currently registered LBCC credits. See the quarterly Schedule of Classes for registration times and information about the registration process. Pre-registration advisor contact is strongly recommended for the following students: • all new students • students sponsored by agencies • students on probation or having academic difficulties • students who are changing their major or who have questions regarding the courses they should take to meet program requirements • transfer students in transfer programs • students considering application to special admissions programs Students who have not completed the admission process, can register for 0–8 credits during Open Registration times. You will be asked to use your Social Security number as your initial student identification number to complete the Student Data form. A student ID will be generated for you. You may view this number on your WebRunner student account. Wait List Procedures If a class is full, you may sign up for available Wait List openings. You are charged tuition for a Wait List registration. You will not be billed if you are not registered in the class by the add/drop deadline. Prior to the first day of class, students are automatically moved from Wait List to registered status as space becomes available. To find out whether you have achieved “registered” status, view your status in your WebRunner student account. During the Add period, an instructor can add you from the Wait List to the class by signing a Schedule Change form (also called an Add/Drop form), which you then submit to Registration before the Add deadline (Monday of Week Two). Late registrations are subject to a $25 fee. Instructors may drop you from the Wait List if you do not attend the first day of the class. If you are still on the Wait List on the last day of the Add period, you will be dropped from the Wait List and your tuition for that class will be refunded. Refunds are made after the Add/Drop period is over. How to Understand Course Numbers All lower-division transfer and career and technical courses are taught at a college level. Courses with letter prefixes and numbers of 100 or higher (for example, WR 121, BI 103, MTH 111) usually transfer to a four-year institution. Courses numbered 100–199 are considered freshman-level courses, and those numbered 200–299 are sophomore level. Letter-prefix courses that have numbers below 100 or numbers that include a decimal point (for example, MTH 065 or BA 2.530) generally will not transfer to a four-year institution. However, there are some exceptions; see your advisor concerning transferability. You are not limited to taking all transfer or all career and technical classes; you may mix and match them depending on your program. Consult your advisor. If a course number is changed from a career and technical number to a transfer level number, the transfer level number will appear on your permanent record only if you took the class after the change was approved. Prerequisites Many courses require pre-requisites (other completed courses) prior to enrolling. Check the “Course Description” section of this catalog for prerequisites before you register. If you are uncertain about whether you have met a specific prerequisite, check your unofficial transcripts in your Webrunner student account, ask your advisor or the instructor of that class. If you have not met the prerequisite, you may be prevented from registering or withdrawn from the course. If you have completed an LBCC class with a grade of “C” or better, then take a class that is clearly identified as a prerequisite to it, the credits will not count for graduation. If you register for credit in such a course, you may be disenrolled. Any exceptions must be authorized in writing to the registrar by the appropriate faculty member and dean or designee. To Change Your Schedule To change your schedule in any way, you may use your WebRunner student account or submit a Schedule Change at the Registration Office. For classes that require an instructor’s signature, you must submit a Schedule Change at the Registration Office.
