St. Charles Community CollegeFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEREFUND POLICYSt. Charles Community College has instituted arefund policy for all Title IV grant and loanrecipients who withdraw from all classes during anenrollment period for which they have beencharged. This refund policy complies with currentfederal government regulations.A new law requires that, when you withdrawduring a period of enrollment, the amount of StudentFinancial Assistance money you have earnedup to that point is determined by a specific formula.If you received (or SCC received on yourbehalf) less assistance money than the amount thatyou earned, you will be eligible to receive thoseadditional funds. If you received more assistancethan you earned, the excess funds must bereturned.The amount of assistance you have earned isdetermined on a pro-rata basis. That is, if youattended classes for 30 percent of the enrollmentperiod, you earned 30 percent of the assistance youwere originally scheduled to receive. Once youhave completed more than 60 percent of theenrollment period, you have earned all of yourassistance funds.If you received excess money, SCC must returnto the U.S. Department of Education a portion ofthe excess equal to the lesser of• the college’s institutional charges multipliedby the unearned percentage of the funds, or,• the entire amount of the excess funds.If the college is not required to return theentire amount of excess funds, the student mustreturn the remaining amount of the funds. Any loanfunds that you must return must be repaid inaccordance with the terms of the promissory note(the binding legal document that you signed whenyou received the student loan). You must makescheduled payments to the holder of the loan overa period of time.If you are responsible for returning grantfunds, you do not have to return the full amount.The law provides that you are not required toreturn more than 50 percent of the grant assistance.You must make arrangements with the collegeor with the U.S. Department of Education toreturn any grant overpayments.28

St. Charles Community CollegeDEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMKEYS TO SUCCESSNot all students who wish to attend college areequipped with the academic background and studyskills needed for a successful college experience.Some students may excel at math and science, butin English and communications they struggle. Otherstudents may have bypassed a college prep courseor two in high school and now find they are in needof catching up. Still more students, especially thosewho have been out of school for awhile, just needto brush up on rusty academic skills.At one time or another, everybody needs somekind of help; that is why the college offers developmentalstudies. The courses directly relate to SCCcareer-technical and college transfer programs,making it possible for students with skills deficienciesin any academic area to prepare for regularcollege-level courses and to succeed. In fact, one ofthe primary missions of the college is to provideopportunities for all our residents to succeed onthe job, at home, and at the college. For manypeople, developmental studies can offer a secondchance at education.CONCENTRATINGON THE BASICSDevelopmental courses represent a broad spectrumof classes that include the areas of math, reading,writing, and study skills. Each course isdesigned to help students develop new academicskills or refresh old skills in order to complete anacademic major of choice. Some developmentalclasses are available as individual study unitsthrough the ACE Center while others are taught in theclassroom. Before enrolling, your skills will beassessed to assure placement in appropriatecourse work.Sometimes, students take developmental coursesvoluntarily because they realize their skills inone area may not be as sharp as they should be orbecause they are unsure of their present skill proficiencies.Others take developmental studies at therecommendation of an SCC counselor becausetheir high school transcripts, test scores, and otherdata concerning past academic achievements indicatea need for further study of basic skills.Selecting courses to match your present level ofabilities is a smart way to assure that your first experienceat SCC will be a good experience. Developmentalstudies can make the margin of difference.FOCUSING ON YOUR NEEDSThrough smaller classes and carefullysequenced instruction, you can work through theprogression of developmental courses. Becausemost of these courses award grades of “P” (pass),“R” (repeat), or “F” (fail), the pressure of theusual grading scale is removed and you can concentrateon mastering the basics before moving onto college-level work.The “R” grade, which is only available in developmentalcourses, indicates that you are makingprogress through the course objectives but have notyet achieved the mastery necessary to move to thenext level. By re-enrolling in the course, you haveanother semester to master the course material.Developmental studies courses are distinguishedfrom other courses by prefix codes numberedbelow 100 and are sequenced according totheir level of difficulty. They cannot be used tofulfill the requirements of the associate's degreeand they cannot transfer, but they may be usedtoward a career-technical certificate if no othercourse is specified in its curriculum.Students completing developmental classesare in most cases well prepared for college-levelcredit courses.Developmental course credits will be computedin credits attempted and credits completed. Allcourses graded with a pass/repeat/fail grade willnot be computed in the GPA.STUDY ASSISTANCEStudents experiencing difficulties in classshould, at the first sign of trouble, go to the ACECenter for assistance. Help is available on a walk-inand appointment basis in math, foreign languages,reading, several of the sciences, history, and studyskills. English assistance is available by appointment.Study groups are formed each semester forseveral levels of math, biology, anatomy and physiology,and chemistry. The ACE Center providesassistance six days and four nights a week.94

We look forward to building and growingtogether for the future!HISTORYFor more than two decades, St. Charles Countyhas been one of Missouri's fastest-growing areas.With that growth came the need for affordable,close-to-home, and locally governed public highereducation.An election in April 1986 established Missouri's11th community college district, formed within theboundaries of five school districts of St. CharlesCounty. Selected as the first president was Dr.Donald D. Shook, who had previously served aspresident of two other Missouri community colleges.Upon Dr. Shook's retirement in Novemberof 1996, Dr. John M. McGuire became the new collegepresident. Dr. McGuire previously had servedas president of Owensboro Community College inKentucky.The first classes were held in the summer of1987 with about 400 students. By the fall 1987semester, there were 1,547 students enrolled incredit classes, and many other non-credit, continuingeducation programs were taking shape. Thecollege operated out of several temporary locationsfor five years while continuing to plan for a permanentcampus. Enrollment grew rapidly as SCCdeveloped educational programs and services inanswer to community needs.After one unsuccessful attempt at passing a $24million campus construction bond issue, the collegedid secure voter approval in November 1988.Then, in February 1989, the Board of Trusteeschose a 135-acre tract on Mid Rivers Mall Drive.The site had easy access to major Interstate highways,and its central location would position thecollege to be close to home for thousands of arearesidents.Ground breaking for Phase 1 construction tookplace in June 1990. Excitement and fanfare surroundedthe move to the new four-building campuslate in 1991, and a public dedication ceremony washeld in January 1992. The spring semester beganwithout a hitch in the college's new campus home.Planning for future campus growth continued,preparing the college to meet the rapidly increasingenrollment. By fall of 1992, the number of studentsin credit classes had climbed to 4,631 – a19 percent increase from the previous year. At thesame time, continuing education non-credit programscontinued to grow, serving thousands ofpeople, including business and industry partnershipsand community outreach services for personsof all ages.In an April 1993 election, voters in the localcollege district approved building Phase 2 of thecampus. The college broke ground in March 1994for the $10 million two-building construction projectthat included a Fine Arts Building and an AcademicBuilding. Later, matching funds from a 1994statewide bond issue allowed SCC to open a ChildDevelopment Center in spring of 1996.151

St. Charles Community CollegeHighlights of the decade included the additionof new career-technical programs, on-line libraryand campus-wide links to the Internet, the openingin 1995 of the Phase 2 buildings, and the 1996-98establishment of several extension centers in anexpanded service area that included the counties ofPike, Lincoln, Montgomery, and Callaway. Thenewest technology in interactive, two-way videoclassrooms was used to link the main campus to itsoff-campus sites.As the college celebrated its 10-year anniversaryin 1996, enrollment was again on the rise.Between 1996 and 1999, headcount in credit classesincreased more than 19 percent, with 5,565 studentsin fall 1999. And in the 1999-2000 academicyear, more than 23,000 participants were served innon-credit continuing education programs.So that the college would have the capability toserve future generations of area residents, theBoard of Trustees looked ahead to building Phase3 of the campus, and they revised the master planfor campus growth. In an election in April 1998,voters approved a $13.75 million construction project,including a College Center, Technology Building,addition to the Child Development Center, athleticfields, and parking lots. Trustees purchasedseveral adjacent parcels of property in 1998 and1999, adding 87 acres to bring the campus size upto 222 acres.Dedication ceremonies for Phase 3 of the campustook place in January 2001, and that year alsomarked the 15-year anniversary of the college'sestablishment as well as an increase of more than600 students – nearly 11 percent – in the fall,when enrollment reached 6,226.Between 1996 and 2001, the college had seentotal enrollment climb by nearly 34 percent, withcredit hours up almost 50 percent as the growthcontinued.In spring 2001, responding to the popular localvernacular for the college name, trustees shortenedthe original name (St. Charles County CommunityCollege) to St. Charles Community College. Thechange placed the emphasis on "community."Entering the new century, SCC focused clearlyon enhancing programs and facilities, staying onthe leading edge of technology, responding to thecommunity, and placing the highest priority onexcellence in teaching and learning.AWARD-WINNING CAMPUSSt. Charles Community College has been honoredwith a series of local, regional, and nationalarchitectural and design awards reflecting theunique construction and beauty of its campus.
