Introducing <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong><strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Begins<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> has continued, without interruption, the educational opportunitiesthat were previously provided by Bay City Junior <strong>College</strong>.In the mid-1950’s, as the demand for education beyond high schoolincreased in the tri-county area, the percentage of students aendingBay City Junior <strong>College</strong> from outside the K-12 Bay City Public SchoolDistrict steadily increased. The enrollment was approximately 50 percentnon-resident, with about 40 percent of the enrollment coming fromSaginaw. Early in 1955, seven community leaders from Bay, Midlandand Saginaw met to discuss the possibility of a tri-county college. Theirinterest and action prompted the following developments:1955: Organization of the Tri-County Commiee of 300 formed to studythe needs of higher education in the Saginaw Valley area.1956: The final report of the Commiee of 300, outlining the need toestablish and finance a new college, was received.1957: Legislation was submied to the State of Michigan Legislature tofinance and establish a new institution of higher education.1957: Voters of Bay, Saginaw, and Midland counties formed a communitycollege district under Act 182 of the Public Acts of 1957 and authorizeda levy of 1.5 mills to construct and operate a college.1958: Bonds were sold to provide the financial structure for <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>and campus construction began.1959-61: Members of the faculty and staff of Bay City Junior <strong>College</strong>assisted in planning for the new college. Many of the Bay City Junior<strong>College</strong> faculty, students, and staff became part of the new college as BayCity Junior <strong>College</strong> operations were assimilated into <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>.1961: <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> opened.<strong>College</strong> LocationsThe <strong>College</strong> main campus is located on a 640-acre campus complex inBay County bordered by Hotchkiss, Mackinaw and <strong>Delta</strong> Roads (pleasesee maps at the back of this catalog). Noted for its beautifully-landscapedcenter garden, the <strong>College</strong> has miles of nature trails, runningand fitness trails, tennis courts, and archery and golf puing areas, aswell as a covered bridge. The natural surroundings of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>positively enhance the learning process of students. The main campussite, at University Center, Michigan, lies almost midway between thethree counties’ major cities of Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland. Thistriangle forms the heart of the Saginaw Valley area which is drained bythe Saginaw River and its tributaries, northward to the Saginaw Bayand Lake Huron. Bay County adjoins the Saginaw Bay, an importantrecreational area and waterway whose ports are part of the St. LawrenceSeaway system.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> has major centers in each of the three counties: <strong>Delta</strong><strong>College</strong> Planetarium and Learning Center in Bay City; <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>Midland Center; and the Ricker Center in Saginaw. The tri-county area isone of the major concentrations of population within the state. The 2000population census reports an area population of approximately 399,320.Sixty-three percent of the people are classified as urban residents, with44 percent residing within city limits.Accreditation<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, ACommission of the North Central Association of <strong>College</strong>s and Schools(NCA). Initial accreditation was granted the <strong>College</strong> in October, 1962by the Michigan Commission on <strong>College</strong> Accreditation. A status studyto prepare for candidacy was submied to the NCA in May, 1964, as afirst step toward regional accreditation. <strong>College</strong> officials were notifiedin July, 1966, that the <strong>College</strong> had been accepted as a candidate for accreditationbased on a report of a NCA visitation team. The Self-StudyReport was completed in May, 1967, and accreditation was granted inApril of 1968. NCA has subsequently reaccredited the <strong>College</strong> in 1973,1984, 1993, and again in 2003. The <strong>College</strong> has also obtained approvalto offer all Associate degrees online and all online degrees facilitatedby The Michigan Community <strong>College</strong> Virtual Learning Collaborative.For inquiries regarding accreditation, contact The Higher LearningCommission, A Commission of the North Central Association of <strong>College</strong>sand Schools, 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois60602-2504; telephone 800-621-7440; fax 312-263-7462; or access the Website at www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org.Several career academic programs also have received additional accreditationstatus from their corresponding professional boards, councils, orregulatory groups.National League for Innovation<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a charter member of the National League for Innovationin the Community <strong>College</strong>. The League is comprised of 19 League BoardMember college districts with 56 campuses, enrolling more than 750,000students. Additionally the League has over 750 colleges who have Alliancemembership. <strong>Delta</strong>’s membership is significant recognition thatit is devoted to the improvement of learning through experimentationand innovation. The League places a strong emphasis on research,evaluation, and dissemination of information on innovations. In thisway, potentially valuable new approaches to instruction are made knownand an opportunity is provided to judge their suitability for use at othercolleges. Participation in League activities enables <strong>Delta</strong> to adapt andadopt those innovative practices which have proved effective elsewhere,while sharing the results of its own innovations with colleges in otherdistricts. This means that residents of all ages in the tri-counties havethe opportunity to share in the benefits of improved instruction andservices provided by the <strong>College</strong>.6 <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong>


Profile of Our StudentsWhen <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> opened its doors in September, 1961, there were1,700 students, whereas in the Fall Semester of 2006 10,118 academicand skilled trades students were enrolled in courses and programs onthe Campus and in neighborhood centers. Who are these students andwhy do they enroll at <strong>Delta</strong>? Actually, there is no <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> studentstereotype. Students differ considerably in their ethnic, social, and economicbackgrounds and their educational goals. Most students (85.1%)reside in the tri-county district and more students are enrolled on apart-time basis than those aending full-time because most studentsare also working full or part-time. Some are rich, some are poor, mostare neither, but approximately two-thirds of students enrolled for sixor more academic credits receive some form of financial aid. Some haveprecise career plans while others want to explore before they decide;some are taking classes for personal enrichment reasons. What mosthave in common, though, is that they are seeking to learn and improvetheir lives. Over the years, students have been asked about their reasonsfor choosing and aending <strong>Delta</strong> and the five major reasons givenhave been: location of <strong>Delta</strong> (close to home and/or work); curriculumor programs offered; low costs; course work relevant to goals; qualityof instruction.The diversity of students at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>:Class DesignationFreshmen...............................................................................................57.2%Sophomores ..........................................................................................42.8%Student Age Distribution19 years old and under........................................................................32.6%20-24 ...................................................................................................33.8%25-29 ...................................................................................................11.5%30-44 ...................................................................................................16.5%45 and over............................................................................................ 5.5%GenderFemales ..................................................................................................56.8%Males ...................................................................................................43.2%Geographic ResidencesSaginaw County ...................................................................................41.9%Bay County............................................................................................28.2%Midland County...................................................................................15.0%Other Michigan Counties....................................................................14.6%Out of State ........................................................................................... 0.2%Ethnic BackgroundsCaucasian ..............................................................................................82.6%African-American ................................................................................ 7.1%Hispanic................................................................................................. 4.0%Not designated ..................................................................................... 2.0%Multi-racial............................................................................................ 2.0%Asian ................................................................................................... 0.8%Native American .................................................................................. 0.6%International.......................................................................................... 0.7%Declared Program ChoicesCareer Education Programs ...............................................................53.7%Transfer Programs................................................................................25.6%Deciding ................................................................................................13.8%Guests & Dual Enrolled ...................................................................... 4.3%Personal Enrichment............................................................................ 2.5%Aendance DistributionDay hours only .....................................................................................30.0%Evening hours only................................................................................9.3%Weekends only ..................................................................................... 0.2%Telecourse/Internet only...................................................................... 1.8%Combinations of above........................................................................58.6%Figures based on Fall Semester 2006 (pertains only to students enrolled inacademic courses).<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong>7

Transfer ProceduresTransferability of <strong>Delta</strong> CoursesBased upon information provided to <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> from the majorpublic Michigan four-year universities and Northwood University,<strong>Delta</strong>’s counseling staff has developed many transfer program guidesheets which provide specific course equivalency information abouthow <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> courses will transfer relative to specific programs.The transferability of courses between colleges depends basically on:1. The school into which you transfer.2. Your program of study (program, or more specifically, the majorand/or major and minors you are seeking).3. The grade you receive in the course. In general, a C or beer is necessary;a B in “major” courses.4. Whether or not the transfer college has an equivalent (same) courseand if so, the number of credits acceptable for their course.5. The level of the course. For example, an intermediate algebra coursemay be acceptable for one program, but not for others that requirehigher levels of mathematics.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> has liaison relationships with many colleges and universitiesregarding their transfer requirements and program recommendations;however, if you wish to transfer credits from <strong>Delta</strong> to another school, itis your responsibility to be aware of that institution’s transfer policiesand program requirements.There is a limit to the number of credits you may transfer into a collegeor university. Generally, this is 62 credits, or half the total number ofcredits required for the Baccalaureate degree.Basic transfer guides as well as many specific program guides are availablein Counseling/Advising, D 102. In addition, check out this information on<strong>Delta</strong>’s website at www.delta.edu/tguides, www.delta.edu/transfer and link tothe Transfer Wizard, and www.delta.edu/counsel/ProgramsofStudy.htm.You should maintain close contact with your counselor or advisor for allpossible assistance in registering for the proper courses and maintainingthe necessary level of academic performance. While <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> willmake every effort to give proper guidance, you are responsible for yourown choices and for developing your own educational plan.Evaluating <strong>College</strong>sTransferring from one college to another is very common, but to makeit a positive experience, you are encouraged to investigate collegesand universities and their degree requirements; plan ahead; andwork closely with your <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> counselor/advisor, especially inselecting the correct courses for your transfer program. Listed beloware several important things to think about as you start evaluatingvarious colleges and universities. You may investigate colleges inMichigan at www.macrao.org on the Internet.The academic climate of the institution should definitely be explored.Compare your background and abilities with those of the present studentsat that particular college or university. The transfer institution'sadmissions staff and your <strong>Delta</strong> counselor/advisor can be very helpfulin this regard. They are aware of the institution’s selection criteria andhow well previous <strong>Delta</strong> graduates have done. You should read carefullyeach institution’s statement on admissions requirements to be certainyou can meet them.The program offerings of the various institutions need to be consideredin your decision-making process. If you are interested in a specific fieldof study, you should look first at colleges and universities offering recognizedand accredited programs in that area. Not all schools offer thesame programs of study.There are non-academic factors to consider also in making your collegeor university choice. How large is the student body? Is campus housingavailable? What is the nature of the community in which the school islocated and how far is it from home? Does the institution provide theenvironment and opportunity for the types of extracurricular activitiesthat you enjoy (e.g., sports, arts, student government)? Where andwhat types of jobs are their graduates geing and what type of placementservices do they provide? Be sure to get answers to questions likethese through visits to the campus, by looking at the catalog, on theschool’s homepage on the internet, or by talking to current students atthe school. This information can help you choose an institution that fitsyour personal interests.Your investigation should also include a thorough review of the cost ofthe college or university being considered. Usually the basic educationalexpenses of the institutions for an academic year can be determined fromtheir current catalog. Then, add on amounts for such items as personalexpenses and room and board to come to a total that will realisticallyreflect your overall costs.Last, but certainly not least, are the respective application procedures foradmission and financial aid. You must submit all required admissionsforms correctly and on time if you expect full consideration. You mustalso submit all financial aid forms correctly and on time. The schoolsoen make their decisions about admission and financial aid soon aerthe deadline. They must decide on the basis of the material that theyhave in hand, so it is to your advantage to be prompt and accurate.All Michigan four-year institutions charge an admissions applicationfee and all have specific deadline dates by which your application andother necessary credentials (required test scores, high school and collegetranscripts) must be received.Transfer Degree RequirementsEach institution of higher education has its own requirements foradmission, majors, general education, and so on. These requirementsare stated in the college’s official catalog, bulletin, or on its website.Usually credits are defined as semester hours but some colleges anduniversities use the term or quarter hour system. To earn a Bachelor’sdegree, you will generally be required to fulfill the following:• Credit requirements. Minimum number of credits, typically 120 to130 semester credits for a Bachelor’s degree.• General Education requirements. Minimum number of credits earnedin each of certain broad groups of courses, such as the humanities, thesocial sciences, the physical or natural sciences, and mathematics. Someinstitutions refer to these as distribution or core requirements.• Level requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in courseson such levels as introductory, intermediate, and advanced, or inspecific numbered levels of courses such as 300 and 400, commonlyreferred to as junior and senior-level courses.• Major or concentration requirements. Minimum number of creditsearned in a subject area of specialization (i.e., English, chemistry,business administration) for the degree. About one-fourth of the totalnumber of credits required for a degree must be in the major or fieldof concentration.• Minor requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in a secondsubject of concentration/specialization. Generally the number ofcredits required is about half to two-thirds required for a major. Notall degrees require you to declare a minor.• Residence requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in attendanceat the institution which is granting the degree (as opposedto transfer credits earned at another school). This is not to be confusedwith residency which refers to where one lives.24 <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong>


• Elective requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in optionalcourses that the student chooses.• Grade requirements. Minimum cumulative grade point average ofgrades earned in all courses taken and oen, in all courses taken inthe major and/or minor. Some colleges and universities also requirea minimum grade in specific courses.• Specific subject requirements. Examples include: freshman-levelEnglish composition; two or more courses in physical education; twoyears of foreign language courses or a minimum level of proficiencyin a foreign language as demonstrated on a specified examination;and computer literacy.Transfer Procedures ChecklistIt is important that you select, as early as possible, the institution towhich you plan to transfer because schools differ markedly as to curriculaoffered and their corresponding requirements. If you plan to attendanother college or university aer the completion of your coursesat <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>, you should:• Seek academic advising from a <strong>Delta</strong> counselor or advisor so you willenroll in courses that best fit your needs, achievement level, program,and transfer institution requirements.• Obtain a transfer college/university basic guidesheet and a programguidesheet from <strong>Delta</strong>’s Counseling/Advising Center or atwww.delta.edu/counsel/ProgramsofStudy.htm. Together, these twoguidesheets will provide most of the basic information you willneed to make the best decisions about both your career choice andtransfer school.• Check out the college or university’s homepage on the internet. To seeif a Michigan school has one search the www.macrao.org website.• Visit transfer school campuses and make a list of questions in advanceto use when you visit their Admissions Offices or other departments.Schedule appointments in advance if you would like a campus tour,want to visit a residence hall, or want to talk with specific personnel.• Apply for transfer admission well in advance (almost a year) of theanticipated date of transfer. Admission application forms for mostMichigan public and some Michigan private senior institutions areavailable via the Internet. <strong>Delta</strong>’s Counseling/Advising Center (D102)has some applications.• Review the official catalog of your transfer college/university of choice.Current Michigan catalogs of many institutions are available for usein the <strong>Delta</strong> Career Services Office (D132). The college or universitycatalog can usually be accessed through its website.• If you served in the military, obtain and send an official copy of yourdischarge record (DD214 form).• Confer with transfer institutions admissions personnel who visit <strong>Delta</strong>annually (some twice a year). Times, dates, and places are posted inthe glass case near the Counseling/Advising Center entrance.• Request that each college or university you have aended send anofficial transcript of your courses and grades. Schools usually chargea small fee and you must request these transcripts yourself, in personor in writing, since your signature must be provided. Transcripts willonly be acceptable if they are mailed directly by the school and if theyhave the official seal/signature. <strong>Delta</strong> transcripts are requested fromthe Records and Registration Office and are free of charge.• If required, copies of appropriate test scores (usually ACT or SATscores) and your high school transcript should be sent. Usually thisis only required if you have completed less than 24 to 30 transferablecredits. This information is usually detailed in the transfer admissionapplication directions.• Complete the appropriate financial aid application materials early ifyou plan to apply for grants, loans, or scholarships. You must alsorequest that each previous institution aended mail a financial aidtranscript regardless of whether or not you ever applied for financialaid from that school. These financial aid transcripts are not the sameas your academic transcript which contains courses and grades.

P/NC - Pass/No Credit OptionThe Pass/No Credit grade option is available for several courses at <strong>Delta</strong><strong>College</strong>. If you are interested in this grading option in place of the usual“A” through “E” grading system, you should declare this choice at registrationor no later than the end of the 12th week of the semester (6thweek of a session) by completing a form at the Records and RegistrationOffice. Courses approved for the P/NC grade option are listed in eachsemester's Academic Class Schedule booklet.Guidelines and Procedures for P/NC Grades:1. Grades on the P/NC system are not included in computing thesemester or cumulative point average.2. Grade of “P” (Pass): Credit is granted and represents performanceat or above the “C”/2.0 level.Grade of “NC” (No Credit): No credit is granted and representsperformance at or below the “C-”/1.7 level.3. You may not apply more than a total of 12 credits of P/NC coursework toward <strong>Delta</strong> graduation requirements.4. Enrollment on a P/NC basis is recorded with the Records andRegistration Office.No indication of your P/NC status will be communicated to a facultymember by any office of the <strong>College</strong>.5. A leer grade will be on file in the Records and Registration Office,but only “P” or “NC” will appear on your transcript.6. If you desire to have any grades converted from P/NC to leergrades, you may do so by applying to the Records and RegistrationOffice no later than the end of the following semester aer theP/NC grade was issued.7. Course prerequisites and other criteria for enrolling in any courseshall be determined by the Department or Divisionoffering the course and apply equally to both the traditional andthe P/NC grading systems.8. If you are planning to transfer, you should first check with a <strong>Delta</strong>counselor regarding the acceptance of the P/NCgrade option for specific courses by the transfer institution.Grade Point Average (G.P.A.)A student's Grade Point Average is determined by dividing the numberof credits aempted into the grade points. For example:Non-Credit Courses - Non-credit courses are not included in cumulativeaverages.Grade Points – The number of grade points earned in a course is thenumber of credits multiplied by the number of grade points correspondingto the leer grade received. For example, a grade of B+ in a four-creditcourse equals 13.2 grade points (3.3 x 4 = 13.2).Repeated Courses – The highest grade received by you for any givencourse shall be the grade used in computing the cumulative gradepoint average and the number of credits shall only be counted once inthe total number of credits aempted. All grades received by you in agiven course shall, however, remain on your academic transcript butwill be designated by the Records and Registration Office as havingbeen repeated, so it is clear that only the highest grades earned are beingcounted in cumulative totals.You may not enroll in a course for credit or audit, whether completedor not, more than three times. Exceptions to this policy requires authorizationby the appropriate Division Chair or Academic Dean.Aempted Grade Grade PointsENG 111 3 B (3.0) 3x3=9MTH 121 3 B (3.0) 3x3=9BIO 111 4 C (2.0) 4x2=8SOC 211 3 A (4.0) 3x4=1213 38G.P.A. = 38 divided by 13 = 2.92Credits Aempted - Credits for which the student enrolled and for whichgrades of A through E were given.

Standards of Academic Progress forFinancial Aid RecipientsStudents must be making satisfactory academic progress towardthe completion of a Certificate or Associate degree to be eligible forfinancial aid.Standards of Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients are appliedto all students receiving financial assistance aer they have aempted12.9 credits at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>. All semesters and courses in which studentsregistered at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> are included in determining SatisfactoryAcademic Progress, regardless of whether or not the students receivedfinancial aid for those semesters and courses.I. Standards of Academic Progress for Financial Aid RecipientsA. Making Satisfactory Academic Progress is defined as earning a cumulativegrade point average (GPA) consistent with the AcademicStatus Scale below. In calculating the GPA on this Scale, all creditsfor which students ever enrolled at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> are included(grades A through E, P, NC, I, W, WP, WE and WI plus all repeatedcourses).ACADEMIC STATUS SCALEAempted <strong>Delta</strong> Credits Minimum GPA Required0-12.9 0.0013-23.9 1.5024-44.9 1.7545 or more 2.00B. Making Satisfactory Academic Progress is also defined as havingsatisfactorily completed 67% or more of all credits in which studentshave ever enrolled at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>.1. Grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, or P are consideredto be satisfactory completions.2. Grades of W, WN, WP, WI, NC-No Credit, I-Incomplete, andE-Failure are not considered to be satisfactory completions.3. For students with repeat grades, the lower grade is consideredto be an unsatisfactory completion and the higher grade is consideredto be a satisfactory completion.4. For students choosing the Fresh Start option, grades changed toP are considered to be satisfactory completions. Grades changedto NC are not considered to be satisfactory completions. (Studentschoosing this option should be aware that grades of C-,D+, and D, which are considered as satisfactory completions,will be converted to NC grades, which are not considered to besatisfactory completions.)C. Satisfactory Academic Progress also requires that financial aidrecipients complete the Certificate or Associate degree within atime frame which, by federal regulation, is 150% of the publishedlength of the program. For example, if a student is in an Associatedegree program that requires 62 credits, the degree must be completedin a maximum of 150% of 62 credits, or 93 credits includingboth aempted and completed credits. (Students should consultthe <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Catalog, Section III, Programs of Study, to findthe number of credits required in their Certificate or Associate degreeprogram, then multiply that number by 1.5 to determine themaximum number of credits.)1. When students reach the maximum number of credits, financialaid will be terminated.2. All semesters are taken into consideration when determining themaximum number of credits, whether or not students receivedaid during those semesters.3. All grades (A through E, P, I, NC, W, WP, WE, and WI) and repeatedcourses are counted in determining the maximum numberof credits.4. Transfer credit must be taken into consideration when calculatingthe maximum number of credits; therefore, all credits up to a totalof 38 that are transferred into <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> will be calculatedinto the maximum number of credits for an Associate degreeand all transfer credits up to a total of 15 will be calculated intothe maximum for a Certificate.Academic records of aid recipients are reviewed by the Financial AidOffice prior to awarding for the standard academic year (Fall and WinterSemesters) to ensure that Standards of Academic Progress for FinancialAid Recipients continue to be met. Records are reviewed again priorto awarding for the Summer Semester. Additionally, academic recordsfor loan recipients are checked prior to each disbursement. Studentsreceiving aid whom the <strong>College</strong> places on Academic Probation betweenreviews will maintain their aid eligibility (but not their loan eligibility)for the probational semester(s) until the next review, providing themwith the opportunity to improve their academic records and once againmeet Standards. If Standards of Academic Progress for Financial Aidrecipients are not met at the time of the next review, financial aid willbe terminated.II. AppealsA. Students who have been terminated from further financial aid forfailure to meet Standards of Academic Progress have the right toappeal. All appeals must be submied in writing on the SatisfactoryAcademic Progress Appeal Form to the Financial Aid Office. Appealsmust be received no later than one week before the semesterbegins. Appeals received aer that time will be considered to beappeals for the following semester, unless the students are officiallyregistered in classes (tuition and fees are paid and students are inaendance). Students submiing appeals should state the reasonswhy satisfactory progress was not made and discuss actions thathave been or will be taken to make satisfactory progress in the future.Documentation supporting the reasons for the appeal must beaached. Appeals submied without documentation will not beconsidered. Mitigating circumstances beyond the reasonable controlof students, such as injury or illness, death of a relative, or otherspecial circumstances may be grounds for successful appeals.1. If appeals are approved, students will receive an additional probationalsemester of aid during which they must EITHER completeall courses in which they register with grades of C (2.0) or beer(no C-, D+, D, E, or NC grades), and with no Withdrawals (W,WP, WE, or WI) and no Incompletes (I), OR once again meet the<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Standards of Academic Progress for Financial AidRecipients. At the end of the semester, grades will be checked.2. If students have met the Standards of Academic Progress forFinancial Aid Recipients, aid will once again be awarded. If studentshave not met these Standards, but have met the conditionsstated in No. 1 above, further aid will be granted on a probationalsemester-by-semester basis. Grades will be checked at the endof each semester before aid is awarded for the next semester toensure that students are continuing to make academic progress.This process will continue until such time as the student onceagain meets the Standards of Academic Progress for FinancialAid Recipients. If it should be found that students have not madeacademic progress during one of these probational semesters, aidwill be denied and the students will have to aend at their ownexpense until such time as the Standards of Academic Progressfor Financial Aid Recipients are once again met.B. A second appeal may be made in writing to the Director of FinancialAid, who will convene the Financial Aid Advisory Commiee thefirst week of each month to review second appeals. The Directorwill inform the student of the Advisory Commiee’s decision, whichwill be considered final.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong>105

Proposals: The Independent Study project is normally student-initiated.Early interaction with faculty is essential in the developmentof a mutually-acceptable project description. At a minimum, sucha description should contain an outline of the study topic, specificationof the work to be done and the materials to be read, the creditto be given, the type and frequency of faculty-student contacts,and a statement of the evaluative criteria to be used by the facultymember.2. Approval Process: The faculty member must accept and approvethe project and then submit the agreed-upon proposal on the appropriateform to the Department Chair for approval. The grantingof approval by the Department Chair may involve considerations,such as faculty workload, which go beyond the merits of the project.If the Chair approves, information copies of the form are thensubmied to the Academic Dean and Records and Registration.The student may register for the project aer the authorizationform is received by Records and Registration.3. Responsibility: Independent Study is basically a tutorial process,necessarily involving substantial faculty participation. Studentsare on their own when pursuing an Independent Study, because itinvolves no class meetings or formal lectures. The faculty memberis the responsible custodian of the project, obliged to provide guidance,assistance, criticism, suggestion, and evaluation.4. Variable Credit: With faculty approval, credit may vary from oneto six credits.114 <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong>

Disruptive StudentsDisruptive conduct taints the educational atmosphere and may endangerthe safety of students and staff. Accordingly, when student conduct oncampus creates a serious enough disruption such that the only reasonablesolution is removal of the student, a faculty/staff member may temporarilysuspend or permanently expel that student from class/campus.This policy and accompanying procedures assumes that the faculty/staffhas made every aempt to resolve this issue with the student throughsuch informal methods as individual conferences and/or wrien messages.If these informal methods have not met with success, the followingformal procedures will be implemented.1. The student will be verbally warned by the faculty or staff memberthe student’s behavior is considered to be disruptive (describe thebehavior to which the faculty/staff member is referring) and thatif the student continues the behavior, s/he will be asked to leavethe class/building.2. If the student persists with the disruptive behavior, the faculty/staffmember can then ask the student to leave the class or campus.At this time the faculty/staff must warn the student that failureto leave may result in police intervention. The faculty/staff mustindicate whether the suspension is just for that day or if the studentmust appeal to the appropriate Division Chair to reenter the class.In other words, clarify for the student whether the suspension istemporary or permanent.3. If aer the previous verbal warnings the student continues todemonstrate disruptive behavior, the faculty/staff will summonthe appropriate police agency who will have the option of arrestingthe student for criminal trespass, if necessary. The faculty/staffmember’s request for the student to leave provides the police agencywith sufficient probable cause to effect an arrest.4. If as a result of faculty/staff member’s request for expulsion thestudent leaves the classroom/campus, the faculty/staff will notifytheir Division Chair or immediate supervisor in writing within 24hours of the incident. The wrien report must include the student’sidentity and the behavior that was considered to be disruptive.Sufficient detail must be provided to allow the Chair/Supervisorto assess whether or not the policy was followed. Please note thatthe wrien report is only necessary when considering expulsion.Temporary suspension is handled informally by the faculty/staffmember.5. The Division Chair/Supervisor must immediately contact the studentby phone, with a follow-up through registered mail, notifying themof the opportunity to explain the incident from the student’s pointof view. In addition, this notice will include the date by which thestudent must respond back to the Division Chair (or designee) orelse forfeit their right to appeal the expulsion. Generally, the studentwill be given three class* days to respond in person, by phone, ormail (postmarked). Within 24 hours of the conclusion of the meetingto review the suspension, the Chair/Supervisor will decide if theremoval was justified or if the student should be reinstated. TheChair/Supervisor may find it necessary to consult with other <strong>College</strong>employees, students, or records for additional information uponwhich to base their decision. The Chair/Supervisor may support ordeny the removal, or make other arrangements for the student.6. The decision of the Chair/Supervisor will be conveyed to the studentand the faculty/staff member who caused the removal as soon aspossible, either in person or by phone. A wrien confirmation ofthe decision will be sent to both the staff member and the studentwithin three class days. Within three class days of the receipt ofthe wrien decision, the student or the staff member may appealin person, by phone, or in writing the decision to the appropriateDean/Supervisor (identified in the wrien decision by the Chair);whose decision will be final.7. It is important to emphasize that each step of the process shouldproceed as quickly as possible, while maintaining fairness andobjectivity.*For the purpose of this policy, class days include only Monday-Fridaywhen <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> classes are in session.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong>191
