These criteria are monitoredeach semester, after grades have been posted:1. Grade Point Average: The student must maintain aminimum 2.0 grade point average on a semester andcumulative basis.

If no guide is available for a student’spreferred transfer program, counselors can develop one forany major and any school in the United States. Please followthe procedure below to request a new custom guide.1. Make an appointment with a counselor to discussyour course of study and the school you hope toattend after Glen Oaks (your target college).2. Request a custom guide for your school and yourprogram. The counselor will develop a draft outlineas soon as possible, and contact you for a follow-upappointment.3. Review the draft outline with the counselor andobtain copies for yourself and for your target college.4. Contact the admissions office at your target college,and request an evaluation of the draft copy. Mail,fax or hand-carry the guide to the college for study,changes and approval as necessary. If there arequestions, the target college should be referred toyour counselor at Glen Oaks.5. When the draft is approved, request a signature anddate from the target college, then return the copy toGlen Oaks for your official file.6. Meet with the counselor each semester and carefullyfollow the custom guide.General Transfer Information1. If a student chooses one target school and then decides toattend another target school, a new transfer guide must begenerated. Example: If a student secures an agreement togo to Florida State and then decides to go to ArizonaState, Arizona is not bound by the Florida agreement.2. If a student begins to study accounting and then decidesto be a dentist, a new transfer guide will have to be made.The more dramatic the change of program, the moredramatic the consequences. Also, the later the change ismade, generally the more dramatic the consequences.3. Nationally, no college is obligated to transfer a coursethat does not have a 2.0 (C) or better grade.4. Not all college courses are meant to build skills in an areaand therefore, may not meet a certificate or degreerequirement. However, if a student lacks the beginningskills, it may be necessary to take a class to master therequired skill level.5. Some college classes are designed for technical studyonly. These classes may not transfer to another college. Itis an error to believe that any college class will be helpfulto reaching a specific goal. One should check with acounselor to be sure that a class will be helpful toward aparticular goal.6. Classes can be taken for personal reasons. Many peopletake a class because they want or need it, knowing it willnot transfer. Just because a class does not transfer doesnot mean it has no value. However, students are welladvised to choose wisely when deciding how to spendtheir time, money, and energy.7. Generally, there is a limit of 62-64 semester hours thatcan be used toward a Bachelor’s Degree. There may beexceptions, but students shouldn’t plan to take over 62credit hours without a planned agreement.

Selecting Transfer orNon-Transfer DegreesThe Associate of Arts, Associate of Business andthe Associate of Science degrees are typically pursued whentransfer to a 4-year institution is likely. The collegerecommends regular counseling appointments to assure thebest possible transfer to a 4-year school. Completion of corecourses at Glen Oaks in these three degrees qualifies thestudent for the MACRAO Agreement (see catalog section onMACRAO Agreement, page 33).Those students completing the Associate of GeneralStudies or Associate of Early Childhood Education degreesshould consult with an advisor or counselor as to thetransferability of their courses.Those who seek an Associate of Applied Science inBusiness, Associate of Applied Science in Technology, or anAssociate of Applied Science in Nursing or Allied Healthgenerally move directly into the workplace upon graduation.Although many classes taken in these programs will transfer,the MACRAO agreement may not be available to graduateswith these degrees. All associate degrees, except the AASN,are flexible and provide for a wide range of classroomexperience. It is recommended that students meet with acounselor to schedule classes that will pertain to their chosendegree.Miller College Agreement SignedRobert B. Miller College, a private Battle Creekinstitution offering degree programs at the junior and seniorlevel,signed an Articulation Agreement (above) with GlenOaks Community College last year. The College offersBachelor of Science and Bachelor of Applied ScienceDegrees on the campus of Kellogg Community College. LikeGlen Oaks, Miller College is a student-centered school withquality education to meet the needs of a diverse studentpopulation. Students may complete educational programs ina number of learning formats, according to Paul R. Ohm,President of Robert B. Miller College.50Society trends signal demandThere are a number of career choices and academicprograms proving popular among Glen Oaks CommunityCollege students, according to College counselors.Health-related areas such as Nursing and AlliedHealth are increasingly popular, including Health InsuranceCoder/Biller (Technical and Hospital Specialty), EmergencyMedical Technician-Basic, EMT-Paramedic, Office Assistant-Medical, Medical Assistant, Medical Transcriptionist andPractical Nursing (Level I Nursing).An aging baby-boomer generation is seen as onereason for the increasing need for medical and healthcareprofessionals. The average age among nurses is high, somany longtime nurses are nearing retirement age andreplacements will be needed. The Associate of AppliedScience in Allied Health Degree totals 62 credits and mostAllied Health certificate programs total 30 credits. TheAssociate of Applied Science in Nursing Degree totals 76credits, while the Practical Nursing Certificate is 43 credits.Many longtime teachers are also retiring across ournation, making way for younger educators to take their place.Don Zabonick, a 2002 GOCC graduate, earned an Associateof General Studies (a transfer degree program). He savedconsiderable tuition money and fees by attending GOCC andliving at home. He then attended Western Michigan Universitywhere he compled at Bachelor of Science Degree inElementary Education. “I enjoy teaching because I like to seethe daily progress in the children. They have a real thirst forknowledge,” said Zabonick.The world of business, whether in industry or retail,offers an open door to skilled graduates. The Associate ofBusiness Degree (62 credits) is designed as a transfer degreefor individuals continuing for a Bachelor’s Degree in business.The Associate of Applied Science of Business (62credits) is very flexible and helps graduates go directly to theworkplace. Students also earn one or more certificates inaccounting, computers, marketing areas, several healthrelatedareas, or as an administrative assistant. The newestcertificate is the Management/Entrepreneurship Certificate(32 credits) which teaches principles so need in the growth ofsmall business.People are needed in an array of technical areas,including computer systems, drafting and design, automotiveservice and technicians, machine tool technology andelectrical/electronics technology. The Associate of AppliedScience in Technology Degree (62 credits) also helpsgraduates move directly into the workforce.

Policy on Campus Unrest, Dissent,and ProtestPolicy 3.44Glen Oaks Community College is categorically committed tothe concept of individual and group freedom - so long as freedomof thought and/or action does not infringe upon or abusethe freedoms, rights and privileges of other individuals orgroups. It is within the context of this commitment that thefollowing statement is issued.Campus violence already threatens some colleges and universitiesin a way that could cripple their freedom for many years.Even so we must be mindful of the dangers in laying out inflexibleguidelines about unacceptable conduct or in specifyingthe precise moment when a hazard to the institution is suchthat civil authority must be called upon.If one central theme or thread can be extracted from the fabricof campus and student unrest, it would reveal problems occurwhen communication breaks down or is lacking. Studentsshould not only be given substantial autonomy, but also participatein matters of general educational policy, especially incurricular affairs. Since increased participation contributes toeffective decision making, students should serve in a varietyof roles on committees. Effective student representation willnot only improve the quality of decisions, but also ensure theiracceptability to the student body.Every attempt must be made to establish effective communicationsso that policy questions, grievances and/or disciplinaryproblems can be aired by the college community. To this end,violations and/or violators of individual or group freedom willbe referred to the President to hear, weigh, evaluate, and recommendas is necessary by the evidence at hand in solvingthe problem and attaining the objective.Students must know that they cannot be shielded from theconsequences of their behavior, especially when it violatesthe laws of society at large. They must recognize and respectthe rights of other students as they seek rights and privilegesfor themselves. Threats, violence, coercive disruption ofclasses and events, and similar acts that tread on the rights ofothers are intolerable.Mindful of the concerns of the general public as well as thestate legislature the following information, entitled Act #26 ofthe Public Acts of 1970 of the State of Michigan, is reproducedherein.ACT #26 OF THE PUBLIC ACTS OF 1970AN ACT to provide penalties for certain conduct at publicinstitutions of higher education.The People of the State of Michigan enact:127Sec. 1.
