THE ADVISING PROCESSThe John Tyler Community College advising system is a collaborative and on-goingdevelopmental process between the student and advising personnel to enhance success in thecollege experience. The goals of advising are:1. To assist students in developing educational plans consistent with their life goals andobjectives;2. To provide students with accurate information about institutional policies, procedures,resources, and programs;3. To assist students in considering their life goals by relating their interests, skills, abilities,and values to careers, the world of work, and the nature and purpose of highereducation; and4. To assist students in evaluating or re-evaluating their progress toward established goalsand educational plans.Students who are admitted to degree and certificate programs are assigned faculty advisors.Personnel in the Counseling Centers and Student Success Centers also are available to assistwith the advising process.Student ResponsibilitiesStudents are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the academic requirements of theirprograms. In order to take full advantage of the advising resources at the institution, they mustutilize the on-line student information system (myTyler), which will permit them to access theirgrades and check on their progress in their respective programs.They should maintain regular communication with their advisors--either in-person or via e-mail—to ensure they are informed of any changes in their programs and other matters thatmight affect their academic progress. Students graduate in accordance with the course andcredit requirements specified by the College at the time students are admitted to theirprograms—not when they were admitted to the College. Some programs permit students toselect from one or more course options. In making such decisions, students should consult withtheir advisors to determine the best options for their particular circumstances or academic andcareer goals. Occasionally, programs change and courses are discontinued prior to studentscompleting their studies at the institution. When this occurs, students may need to considersubstituting different courses for some of their specified requirements. Students must consultwith their advisors and request such substitutions in a timely manner, adhering to institutionaldeadlines addressing the submission of applications for graduation.9

Advisor ResponsibilitiesFaculty advisors should encourage their advisees to regularly consult with them about theiracademic plans and progress. Advisors assist students in developing educational plansconsistent with their life goals and objectives. They help students develop and refine decisionmakingskills, promoting greater independence and self-reliance. Advisors provide theiradvisees with accurate information about institutional policies, procedures, resources, andprograms. Together with counselors and personnel in the Student Success Centers, they assiststudents in evaluating or re-evaluating their progress toward established goals and educationalplans. They submit course waiver-substitution forms in a timely fashion and remind theiradvisees to apply for graduation when it is appropriate.The Advising TeamGood advising is the result of teamwork. Students, faculty advisors, and counselors all haveimportant roles to play in the advising process. If the overarching objective of student successis to be realized, each member of the team must do their part. Good communication betweenall team members is a necessity. Adhering to deadlines in a timely fashion is essential. Workingtogether, the advising team can enhance the academic experiences of all students, helpingthem achieve their academic goals.10

GRADUATIONJOHN TYLER COMMUNITY COLLEGEDEADLINES:GRADUATION WITH AUDIT REPORT WITHOUT REPORTSEMESTERFINAL DAYSummer 2008 February 15, 2008 May 15, 2008Fall 2008 June 16, 2008 October 1, 2008Spring 2009 September 15, 2008 February 2, 2009MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS1. What is an audit report?An audit report is sent to you from the Admissions & Records Office, if you have met the deadline for the audit report thatoutlines what courses you need to complete to graduate in your program. This report only assesses what we have in ourpossession in the Admissions & Records Office. If you have discussed possible course substitutions with your academic advisor,have taken classes elsewhere, or have questions regarding your curriculum, you would need to see your advisor or theCounseling Office.Remember: you graduate under the catalog that is current at time of your curriculum placement. If there are additionalrequirements or changes in your program at the time of your application for graduation you are responsible for completingthese courses. Only your faculty advisor and his or her Dean can approve waivers/substitutions for your courses.2. Can I apply for graduation and not be curriculum placed?No. You must be presently active in the curriculum on your Graduation Application and have a designated advisor. YourGraduation Application will be returned if you are not curriculum placed. Check your MyTyler account for curriculuminformation.3. What if I am a Financial Aid recipient and wish to graduate from a certificate or career studies certificate program, but amcurrently in an Associate degree program?If this is the case, your financial aid could be adjusted and you may lose aid. You must be presently active in the curriculum onyour Graduation Application in order to graduate from that program. Please seek counsel from the Financial Aid Office prior tosubmitting your Graduation Application.

ADVISING TRANSFER STUDENTSWhen advising students who plan to transfer to 4-year colleges and universities, advisors are encouraged torecommend that students closely adhere to the course requirements in the institution’s Arts and Sciencesdegree program and specializations. Course substitutions other than those specified in the John Tyler AA&Sdegree program guides should be avoided except in circumstances owing to the specific requirements of a 4-year institution. Advisors should reference the transfer guides of 4-year colleges and universities wheneverpossible, as well as the VCCS articulation agreements with senior institutions. The latter are available atmyfuture.vccs.edu/GuaranteedTransfer/tabid/257/Default.aspx .Transfer guides for specific institutions are available in the Counseling Centers and Student Success Centers atboth the Chester and Midlothian campuses. Many of these guides also may be accessed on-line at the websites of the respective colleges and universities.ADVISING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIESSection 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 mandatesthat all postsecondary institutions that receive federal assistance must offer the same services and programsto students with disabilities that are offered to non-disabled students. “Reasonable accommodations” mustbe instituted in instructional programs and departmental policies in order to ensure full educationalopportunities for all students. The intent of these accommodations is not to alter the academic standards ofthe institution, but to allow the unique needs of students to be met.Once disabled students self-identify and provide appropriate documentation to designated counselingpersonnel at either the Chester or Midlothian campuses, specific instructional accommodation plans areprepared by designated members of the counseling staff. Students are responsible for giving their letters ofaccommodation to their instructors on the first day of classes. Adherence to these letters of accommodationextends beyond professionalism and moral responsibility – it is a legal mandate.When advising students with disabilities, it is critical that advisors stress the importance of personalresponsibility. Unlike high school, where parents, teachers, and counselors were engaged to ensureaccommodations, in college, the student must serve as his or her own advocate. Advising students withlearning disabilities (LD) can be particularly challenging. In many instances, reading comprehension, readingrates, written expression, visual processing, and short-term memory are the greatest areas of difficulty for LDstudents. Even though these impairments will vary from student to student, it is important for the advisor togive particular attention to course scheduling, adjusting a student’s schedule to avoid enrollment in severaldemanding reading or writing courses concurrently, or ensuring that a student takes critical academic skillscourses in the most optimum sequence. Advisors should regularly consult with professional counselors,especially with regard to the career aspirations of their disabled advisees. Research suggests that studentswith disabilities appear to possess less mature career-decision attitudes than their peers without disabilities.It also is helpful to acquaint students with the differences between high school and college with regard torequired services and the responsibility of students.47

Public High SchoolsAll students are guaranteed aneducation by law until the age of 21.Schools must screen and evaluatestudents with a possible learningdisability.Individual Educational Plans (IEP)must be developed for students identifiedwith learning disabilities.High schools must provide appropriatefundamental services and accommodationsto meet individual needs.Students have the right to request adue process hearing.Parents are legal advocates forstudents until age 18.CollegeStudents have no rights foreducation but cannot be discriminated against.Colleges are not obligated to screenor evaluate.Students are responsible fordeveloping their owneducational plans.Colleges must provide “reasonableaccommodations.”Students may only file a grievancewith the college and have no right todue process.Students act as their own advocates.48

ADVISING CRITERIA FOR ELDE COURSES: INTERNET AND WEEKEND COLLEGE COURSESStudents are permitted to register for all classes offered through Extended Learning & Distance Educationwithout requiring special approvals from their advisors. Internet and weekend college courses, however, maynot always represent the most appropriate options for advisees. Faculty should note the following specialcriteria when advising students about the Weekend College or Internet options:• New students (those who have completed less than 12 semester hours of college-level work) shoulddemonstrate that they possess college-level reading and writing skills by attaining passing scores (as definedby the College) on JTCC’s reading and sentence-skills placement tests. Additionally, students may need todemonstrate that they possess college-level mathematics skills forenrollment in certain courses.• Continuing students (those who have completed 12 or more semester hours of college-level work) should bein “good academic standing” and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.• Transfer students must be eligible to return to their former institutions and have completed at least 12semester credits with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.•Additionally, all students must complete any required course prerequisites.49

ATTENDANCE POLICIES• Institutions of higher education must have procedures in place to document attendance for financialaid purposes. Federal Student Aid (FSA) funds are awarded to a student based on the assumption thatthe student will attend college for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. If a studentdoes not begin attendance in all of his or her classes, resulting in a change in the student’s enrollmentstatus, the College must recalculate the student’s award based on the lower enrollment status.Likewise, when a student withdraws from, or stops attending, all classes before the 60% point of thesemester (last day to withdraw without academic penalty) has passed, the student may no longer beeligible for the full amount of Title IV funds originally received. As a result, it is necessary to have aprocedure in place to determine whether or not a student began attending and continued attendingclasses through the 60% point of the semester. The Department of Education does not dictate themethod a college uses to document attendance, however, a student is considered NOT to have begunattendance in any class in which the college is unable to document that attendance.• Students whose names appear on class rolls but who do not attend class during the first 15% of classmeetings (the period during which students may drop the class and receive tuition refunds) must bereported to Admissions and Records by faculty using NEVER ATTENDED Forms. These forms must besubmitted no later than the last day that a student may drop the class and receive a tuition refund (theend of the Add Period).• Faculty members are required to take attendance in all of their classes. For each “F”, “U”, or “W”reported, the last date of student attendance must be provided.• All faculty members must include their attendance policies in their class syllabi.• In fashioning their specific class attendance policies, faculty members are encouraged to adopt policiesthat permit students a finite number of absences. Faculty members may not permit any number ofabsences that are in excess of 20% of the total contact hours. (Contact hours for a variety of deliverytypes are defined below.) Faculty may have attendance policies that are more stringent than the 20%requirement; for example, 10% of absences.• Examples of how contact hours may be defined:o Traditional courses meeting approximately 45 hours in a classroom setting: 20% of absencesare equivalent to three (3) weeks of missed class meetings. Classes that meet:• Once per week – three class meetings• Twice per week – six class meetings• Three per week – nine class meetingso Hybrid courses meeting approximately 22.5 hours in a classroom and 22.5 hours online: 20% ofabsences are equivalent to three (3) class meetings; plus, the faculty member must define thelevel of weekly participation that constitutes “online attendance.” Faculty should consider thelevel of preparation and effort required to attend and participate in a class meeting comparedto the level of participation required of students in the online component. The sum ofclassroom and online absences combined may not exceed the 20% limit.55

o Online courses also constitute at least 45 hours of contact time with the instructor. Faculty maydetermine attendance utilizing blackboard log in records, discussion boards, and/or classassignments. The faculty member should specify the required participation levels for thefollowing attendance dates:• Drop with Refund Date (Refer to the JTCC academic calendar for specific dates forregular session classes and to the division office for special session classes as the datewill vary based on course length) – Faculty must withdraw any student who has notaccessed the course.• Drop with “W” (Refer to the JTCC academic calendar for specific dates for regularsession classes and to the division office for special session classes) – Faculty must dropany student who has failed to satisfy the attendance requirements as stated clearly inthe course syllabus.o Traditional courses with labs meet 45 hours per semester for lecture and 45 hours for lab: 20%of absences are equivalent to any combination of missed lectures and/or labs totaling 18 hours(i.e. 3 weeks worth of lectures and labs).• It is recommended that all absences be treated the same, regardless of the reason astudent gives for an absence. Specifically, absences should not be defined as either“excused” or “unexcused.” A student either attends a class meeting or is absent from it.Faculty members are given considerable discretion in how they may treat a student’sabsence with regard to making up missed work. Such policies are best delineated in thesyllabus and discussed with students at the start of the term.▪ Students who are called to military service or jury duty should not be withdrawn fromclass on the basis of absences. Class absences in those instances with the properdocumentation would not be counted toward the 20% limit.• When a student exceeds the permitted number of absences, faculty must take the following actions:o If the absence limit is exceeded prior to the official withdrawal date for a class, the facultymember must submit a STOPPED ATTENDING Form to A&R noting the student’s last day ofattendance. The student will be withdrawn from the class and assigned a grade of “W”;o If the absence limit is exceeded after the withdrawal date, a faculty member must submit aSTOPPED ATTENDING Form to A&R noting the student’s last day of attendance. Students whocease attending after the withdrawal date are normally assigned grades of “F” (per VCCS Policy5.7.0).(Note: If a student ceases to attend class after the withdrawal date due to a medical emergency orother mitigating circumstance, it is the student’s responsibility to inform the instructor. The instructormay then elect to award the student a grade of “W” for Mitigating Circumstances or “I” for incomplete.Both require that the student be passing the class at the time the student stopped attending.Mitigating Circumstances Forms accompanied by documentation must be submitted to theappropriate academic dean. For Incomplete Contracts follow College policy.)56

Faculty may wish to consider adopting an attendance policy akin to the following:For traditional courses:Attendance Policy: Regular class attendance is expected. This instructor’s policy requires 80%attendance of all class meetings. (Extended absences should be discussed in advance with theinstructor.) Three (3) tardies will be counted as an absence. Leaving class early will also be counted asan absence. Maintaining communication with the instructor via phone or email is a must whenabsences occur.Course Withdrawal Policy: Students who are experiencing academic difficulties may elect to withdrawthemselves from class prior to the last day to withdraw without academic penalty (first 60% of theclass). Excessive absences prior to last day to withdraw will result in the instructor withdrawing astudent from the course and the recording of a “W” grade. If the attendance policy is violated after lastwithdrawal date, the student will be awarded a grade of “F.”For virtual and hybrid courses:Attendance Policy: Attendance can be gauged in an online or hybrid course. Regular participation inthe discussion forums, the timely submission of required assignments, and the prompt notification ofproblems in the course all constitute “class attendance” online. Students are expected to participate inall class activities, submit all assignments, and complete all tests and examinations in accordance withthe class syllabus and outline. Students who cannot participate in or complete assigned class activities,assignments, tests, and examinations by the designated deadlines owing to emergencies shouldcontact the instructor prior to any anticipated emergencies or immediately following all unforeseenemergencies. Because of the public availability of computers on and off campus, computer problemswill not be accepted as a reason for lack of participation. Students who fail to complete a class activity,assignment, test, or examination (electronic and / or traditional) by the designated deadline will beconsidered to have committed an absence. (The limit for these absences should be defined in the coursesyllabus.)57

NEVER ATTENDED REPORT FORM(Instructor Use Only)This form must be used to report students on your class roll who never attended class prior to the census dateof the semester/term (the last day to drop with a tuition refund).

DETERMINING TEACHING OVERLOADSPer VCCS Policy 3.8.4, a faculty member may be offered a teaching overload not exceeding ten (10) credithours for pay per academic year (fall and spring semesters). Faculty members shall be considered as workingan overload when they teach greater than (30) credit hours or greater than forty (40) contact hours; in classeswhere the number of credit hours for a full teaching load falls below twenty-four (24) credit hours, a facultymember shall be considered as working an overload when he/she teaches greater than forty-eight (48)contact hours.
