In 1961, an overwhelming majority of the electorate of Yuma County approved the establishment of a community college district. The College became the first institution of higher education established in Arizona since 1920, when Phoenix College was founded. After considering various sites, the College acquired the use of a 640 -acre site from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation ten miles east of the city of Yuma for the new college. Construction of the original thirteen buildings was accomplished during 1961–1963 and the first class of students enrolled for the Fall Semester 1963. The College has grown substantially since it opened. The College district encompasses 10,000 square miles, the size of the IV original Yuma County; however, in 1983, northern Yuma County voted to form its own county, creating La Paz County. Thus, the College district now serves two counties with a population in excess of 180,000. Because of the large district, residence halls were built to better serve the students living beyond commuting distance. More buildings were built as the need arose and capital funds were available. Today, thirty-three buildings are on the main campus with additional buildings owned or leased in numerous off-campus locations including the Career Center, centers in Somerton, San Luis, Parker, and a facility in Quartzsite. Additional learning sites are leased from local schools, mobile home parks, and other community agencies. In 1988, Arizona Western College and Northern Arizona University entered into a collaborative agreement to bring comprehensive postsecondary education Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog to southwest Arizona. Students throughout the area have benefited from the opportunity to attain associate, baccalaureate, master’s degrees, and an educational doctorate at the AWC campus. The two schools share classrooms, library resources, and faculty members to provide a variety of services to students enrolled in both institutions. In 1996, Arizona Western College, the University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University began a cooperative baccalaureate degree in Agricultural Systems Management. AWC enrollment has grown from 930 students in the Fall Semester, 1963, to more than 11,400 unduplicated headcount a year. The College is open four days a week—Monday through Thursday. A growing number of Friday and/or weekend classes are offered to meet changing student and community needs.

This step is repeated for several semesters until you complete the degree or certificate requirements of your program. See pp. 21–26. STEP 6 STEP 2 Placement/Testing: The Testing Center Your next step is to take a series of placement tests (English, reading, mathematics) in the Testing Center, located in Room 142 of the Student Services Building.

STEP 3 Financial Aid and Scholarships Do you need financial assistance to help you achieve your dream of graduation?

Veterans Services General Information Arizona Western College is fully approved for the training of students under several government educational programs for veterans and eligible dependents of deceased or disabled veterans. Eligible students, as well as those who wish to determine their eligibility, should apply at Arizona Western College, Veteran Services Office, P.O. Box 929, Yuma, Arizona, 85366, or call (928) 344-7622. Veterans who are making an initial application for their Veteran’s Educational Benefits should provide a copy of military record (DD-214). Eligible dependents who are making an initial application under Chapter 35 should provide a copy of their birth certificate and, if applicable, the parent’s VA file number. Program of Study/Advisement All veterans must choose a program of study and may take only those courses that fulfill the degree requirements. Veterans and eligible dependents need to see their advisor/counselor on a regular basis to ensure adherence to the requirements of their chosen program of study. Satisfactory Progress for VA Students A student must maintain satisfactory progress under the academic policies of the College in order to continue to be eligible to receive VA educational benefits. This also includes those students not progressing at a rate that will permit graduation within the approved length of the program. When a student reduces training time or terminates and receives a non-punitive grade (NS, W, NC), without mitigating circumstances, benefits will terminate retroactively to the first date of that semester’s enrollment. Payment is prohibited to any eligible student for auditing a course or taking a course for credit/no credit. A student normally cannot receive VA benefits for courses successfully completed earlier. An exception to this is the student who successfully completed a course within his/her major with a grade of “D” and a “C” was required to advance to subsequent courses at AWC, or if sufficient time has elapsed since the original completion of a course in the major that the knowledge is outdated. If either or both of these are true, and repeating a course is necessary, it may be done with the approval of an advisor. The student must notify the Veterans’ Office of credit additions or reductions within five days of that change. Veterans’ Deferment of Tuition Payment Plans—Payment arrangements may be made online through e-Cashier on WebAdvisor at http://www.azwestern.edu Students may pay online through e-Cashier by credit card ( Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®Card or American Express®) or electronic check. Evaluation of Transcripts General Information Students attending under the Veterans’ Administration Vocational Rehabilitation Program must contact their vocational rehabilitation specialist prior to registration. The contact can be made through the Arizona Western College Veteran Services Office. Initially all veterans need to sign a Veterans’ Benefits Responsibility Form and then submit a Veteran Information Card each semester giving the Veterans Service Office permission to certify a veteran’s enrollment. All veterans need to have previous course work evaluated for transfer to their chosen program of study at Arizona Western College (including prior colleges and military training schools). The evaluation is requested through the Enrollment Services Office. Evaluation needs to occur within the first semester of attendance at Arizona Western College. Transferring Credit into Arizona Western College Currently enrolled students may submit a written request for evaluation of previous course work. Official copies of all records (college and university transcripts, test scores, and military training/ experiences) must be sent directly to: Enrollment Services Office Arizona Western College P.O. Box 929 Yuma, AZ 85366-0929 From Other Colleges and Universities Transcripts are needed for accurate student advisement; the advisors may choose not to approve a program of classes if official transcripts are not available. Consequently, it is required that all official transcripts be on file along with a formal request for evaluation in the Enrollment Services Office prior to advisement and registration for classes. The process of evaluation may take up to three weeks once the request for evaluation and official transcripts have been submitted. Transcripts may be required for admission to academic programs or from specific individuals or groups; e.g., nursing program students, athletes, financial aid, and Veterans benefit recipients. Acceptable transcripts must bear the imprint of the official school seal and be sent directly from the issuing institution to the AWC Enrollment Services Office. Requirements for submission of transcripts follow. • Degree or certificate seeking students: must submit official transcripts. • Non-degree seeking students: transcripts not required. Note that courses numbered 99 and lower do not transfer, and that AWC only accepts credits with grades of “A,” “B,” “C,”“CR,” (credit) or “P” (passing). Documentation must be provided that CR and P credits are equivalent to a grade of “C” or higher. Transferring credit 9 General Information OPE Accrediting Agencies AWC accepts credits from institutions accredited by the six regional associations and by the specialized accrediting bodies as listed by the Office of Postsecondary Education, see—http://www.ed.gov/ about/offices/list/ope/index.html Foreign College or University If you are submitting credits from a foreign college or university, AWC will need to have an official translation/interpretation of your transcripts. For this service, please send your transcripts to— AACRAO Office of International Education Services Southwest Regional Office 13910 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., Suite 2A PMB 395 Scottsdale, AZ 85260 (480) 551-8005 http://www.AACRAO.org From AP/CLEP/DANTES/IB and Special Examinations Acceptance of credit by examination is based on the tenet that some students may have previously acquired the knowledge and/or competencies required to complete a particular class and that instruction in this area would be repetitive. Questions regarding credit by examination should be directed to the Testing Center, (928) 344-7641. Advanced Placement (AP) These exams are administered by the College Board in high schools each year during the month of May and are designed to test competencies in specific lower division college subject areas. High school seniors may request the opportunity, through their high school counselor’s office, to pursue college credit by examination in one or more subject areas. A fee is charged for each exam. Arizona Western College credit will be awarded in those subjects for which an equivalency has been established; please see the list on pp. 12–13. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Two types of exams are available under this program for those who wish to earn college credit by examination. 1. General Examinations A maximum of six (6) credits may be obtained for each general exam area. A minimum standard score of 50 is required for English Composition with Essay, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Sciences and History. 10 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog 2. Subject Examinations These are more specific and are intended to cover material typical of college-level courses in each subject area. Credit may be earned for one or more AWC courses upon completing an appropriate subject examination with a standard score of 50 or higher. Please see the list on pp. 13–14. These tests are administered by the AWC Testing Center. The fee for each exam is $55, payable by check or money order to CLEP, and a $15 institutional testing fee payable to Arizona Western College. Students planning to transfer to a university must request an additional official score report to be sent by CLEP. An official transcript (score report) can be obtained by writing to: CLEP transcripts Box 6600 Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6600 1 (800) 257-9558 FAX (609) 771-7088 http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ clep/contact.html The fee for each transcript is $20. The student should also be aware that CLEP credit policies vary among colleges and universities, so the credit given by AWC may be increased or decreased upon transfer. Credit cannot be granted for courses equivalent to or at a lower level than courses already completed through formal course work or in progress during or after the eighth week of the semester. For example, students enrolled in Spanish 260, 261, 265 and who desire CLEP credit for SPA 101, 102, 201, 202 must take the CLEP exam before the 8th week of the semester. Students must earn at least twelve (12) credits at AWC before credit will be granted for CLEP testing. CLEP credit will not be considered as credit earned in residence. Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support (DANTES) Students who have successfully completed DANTES subject tests may be eligible to receive credit by examination for appropriate Arizona Western College courses (see pp. 14–15). An official transcript of test results can be obtained by writing to: DANTES Box 6604 Princeton, New Jersey 08540 http://www.dantes.doded.mil/dantes_web/ examinations/transcripts.htm#DODDS These transcripts must be sent directly to AWC. Transcript fees may be subject to change. (A list of exams is found on p. 12.) International students who have taken any of the IB exams may submit their test scores for evaluation of AWC course equivalencies. Questions about IB exams may be directed to: IBO North America 475 Riverside Drive, 16th Floor New York, New York 10115 (212) 696-4464 FAX (212) 889-9242 http://www.ibo.org/ibo/index.cfm EMAIL [email protected] Special Examinations (Challenging AWC Courses) Students have the opportunity in some Arizona Western College courses to earn credit by completing a comprehensive examination. In order to receive credit (CR), an equivalent grade of “C” or higher must be scored (the grade will not be calculated into the cumulative G.P.A.). • • Students cannot receive credit by special examination for a course that is equivalent to or lower than that in which they are currently enrolled or for which they have already received credit. Students may not apply to challenge a course a second time. Permission to challenge a course rests with the appropriate division chair and instructor. Applications for “Special Examinations for Credit” may be obtained in the Enrollment Services Office. There is an enrollment fee as listed in the section “Schedule of Fees” in this catalog. From Military or Training Academies Military Experience Those students wishing to submit military experienes or courses for evaluation should send their records with a written request to the Enrollment Services Office. Credit accepted from such sources may not apply for graduation in specific majors or degree programs. For example: military credit cannot be included in any of the Arizona transfer degrees, (A.A., A.Bus., A.S.). These credits may not transfer to another educational institution. Grades and grade points earned at another educational institution are not used to calculate a student’s cumulative grade point average. Military Service School Credit “A Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experience in the Armed Services,” published by the American Council on Education (ACE), is the basis for evaluat- ing the training and experiences in military service. Credit earned may be used for degree (A.A.S. and A.G.S. only) credit as equivalent courses in the major or as general electives up to the maximum number of credits prescribed by the specific program requirements. A course evaluation may be requested by submitting a copy of appropriate documentation with a written request for evaluation (usually, the DD-214 or 295 form) to the Enrollment Services Office. AWC will need to have an official transcript from: AARTS Operations Center 415 McPherson Avenue Ft. Leavenworth, KS 66027-1373 EMAIL [email protected] General Information International Baccalaureate (IB) Transcripting of Military Experiences Some branches of the Armed Services such as the U.S. Army and Marine Corps require military personnel to provide evidence of college transcripts for promotional purposes based on their participation in military-delivered course work, specialized training, and service-related experiences. Current or former military personnel who show evidence of having successfully completed at least 6 credits of transcripted course work at AWC and who are currently enrolled may request AWC personnel to evaluate and transcript such experiences. Training Academies Those students who have training academy experience recorded on a college or university transcript should submit their records as indicated above. Those students who have such experiences from “noncollegiate” institutions should contact the appropriate faculty to arrange for an interview and challenge examinations. Services for Students with Disabilities Services for Students with Disabilities promotes educational opportunities to AWC students who have documented disabilities. We provide reasonable and appropriate academic accommodation(s) for students who show proof of their disability written by a specialist of their disability. This information must be submitted to the Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities no later than eight (8) weeks before the first day of class.

STEP 2 Placement Tests/ The Testing Center Before you register for classes at AWC, the Testing Center is a place you must visit (Room 142, Student Services Building). There you will take the placement tests that will help you and your academic advisor choose the appropriate courses for your successful college experience. Proper identification is required for testing. All degree-seeking students, and all students who wish to enroll in English, mathematics, other general education courses, and ESL courses must take the placement tests before seeing their academic advisor and registering for classes. The only exceptions to this step are those students whose transcripts from other colleges or universities show appropriate levels of English and mathematics with a grade of “A,” “B,” or “C.” Placement tests assess students’ reading comprehension, writing skills, and mathematical ability. The tests generally take two and one-half hours to complete, but they are not timed tests. Students get the results immediately upon completion of the placement tests. The tests are not used to challenge or “test out” of courses. They are for initial placement purposes only. For more information, visit the Testing Center’s website at http://www.azwestern.edu/testing/ or call (928) 344-7641. After you have received your placement tests results, you will need to make an appointment to meet with an academic advisor who will help you understand your placement into English, reading, and mathematics courses.

STEP 3: Financial Aid and Scholarships If you need financial aid, please read this section thoroughly and follow the steps of eligibility and application. The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office at AWC administers and coordinates aid funds from federal, state, institutional, and private sources. These funds are provided to insure post-high school educational opportunities to eligible students. General Information The philosophy of the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office is to attempt to meet the full need of all eligible applicants by “packaging” (combining) funds from various sources, including both institutional and non-institutional funds. Students are required to apply for other federal and state programs in order to maximize their opportunities for assistance by stretching limited AWC aid dollars. Need (for financial aid purposes) is the difference between the cost of attending AWC and all of the resources an applicant has available. Those resources include, but are not limited to, the following: http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/students/ publications/student_guide/index.html General Information Other http://www.fafsa.ed.gov Help in completing FAFSA http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/students/ publications/completing_ fafsa/index.html Scholarship Search http://www.fastweb.monster.com Federal school codes http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw0506/fslookup.htm U.S. Department of Education “Financial Aid for Student” Home Page http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/ students/english/index.jsp Who can apply for financial aid? New students must demonstrate ability to benefit by meeting one of the following: • • Have earned a high school diploma, • Passed a federally-approved examination (inquire at the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office). Have earned the equivalent of a high school diploma such as a General Education Development Certificate (GED), or The eligibility requirements listed on this and the following pages are general in nature and are not intended to be comprehensive. The requirements for individual types of aid do vary and students should contact the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office for details. Students are advised to keep current regarding any federal changes which may affect their eligibility for financial assistance. Returning or continuing students must meet Satisfactory Progress criteria (see Satisfactory Progress). U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens may also apply. Students must be admitted to AWC to begin processing financial aid paperwork. Financial Aid 15 General Information When do students apply? What happens after I apply? To have a better possibility of receiving federal financial aid and most other scholarships, the application process must be completed by early April. Check the FAFSA website for the exact dates. Completed process means a valid application. Results and other required data must be satisfactorily submitted. Students enrolling for the Spring Semester must meet the December 2 priority filing deadline. Students must use the federal Student Aid Form available in high school counseling offices, the AWC Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, and any of AWC’s education centers. The Financial Aid and Scholarships Office uses the information received from the processor in determining need and eligibility. You will receive a response within two to four weeks, depending on whether you applied electronically or mailed in a paper FAFSA. Please call or contact our Financial Aid Office immeadiately to ensure results are valid and you meet all other eligibility requirements. If you have any questions regarding the status of your Financial Aid application, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (928) 344-7634. How is financial aid calculated? When is aid awarded? The basic premise upon which financial aid programs are based is that the primary responsibility rests with the student and the parents to pay college expenses to the extent that the family is able to do so. The analysis of a family’s financial strength includes consideration of current family income, assets, family size, number of children in college, retirement allowance, uninsured medical and/or dental expenses, and any other factors which seriously alter a family’s financial strength. Financial aid programs are designed to supplement family resources by bridging the gap between cost and the family’s measured ability to pay. Once all required paperwork is satisfactorily completed and you meet all other eligibility requirements, AWC will send a Financial Aid Award that will list aid offered to the student. What happens if students apply late? Students may still be eligible for aid but should be prepared to cover most expenses with personal funds rather than financial aid. Any applications received after April 21 will be considered late and will be processed according to the availability of funds and staff. What Are the Student Financial Aid Responsibilities? (Institutional and Private Scholarships are subject to additional criteria.) Upon acceptance of any source of financial aid, the student is required to: • Enroll only for those classes that apply to the declared program of study leading to a degree or certificate, • Have an assigned academic advisor and a specific major program (degree or certificate), • Maintain satisfactory progress each semester (see Satisfactory Progress section), • Notify the Financial Aid Office of any additional assistance received not shown on the award letter, • Notify the Financial Aid Office and Financial Aid Disbursement Dept. in the Business Office when adding or dropping classes or withdrawing from school, • Repay entire or partial award for classes not attended, dropped, reduced, withdrawn, or cancelled, • Repay any loans as stated on the note to be signed when check(s) are received, • Attend the mandatory loan entrance and exit counseling session if participating in the Student Loan Programs, and How much do I qualify for? College Cost – (minus) Expected Family Contribution = Eligibility The various programs may be divided into four broad categories: grants/scholarships, loans, employment, and other benefits. Grants are gift assistance usually based on academic achievement. Gift aid funds do not have to be repaid. Loans must be repaid with interest at a future date, usually commencing six months after leaving school. Employment is working during the academic year for the money needed. Other benefits include Veterans, railroad retirement, Social Security benefits, etc. What documents must be sent to AWC? A signed copy of the student’s federal income tax return or, if student did not file, an income statement is required. Students may also be required to submit signed copies of their parents’ federal tax returns and/or nontaxable income information such as Social Security benefits, military housing, and other allowances, etc. 16 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog Meet other requests and requirements established by the Financial Aid Office not indicated above. Satisfactory Progress Federal regulations {CFR 668.32(f) and 668.34} require a student to move toward the completion of a degree or certificate within an eligible program when receiving financial aid. Specific requirements for academic progress for financial aid recipients are applied differently than AWC Academic Standards. Federal regulations state that Academic Progress Standards must include a review of all periods of enrollment regardless of whether or not aid was received. The student must meet the following minimum standards to receive financial aid. • • Minimum grade point average (GPA), • Maximum number of credits after which a degree/ certificate must be granted. Minimum number of credits successfully completed towards the declared degree/certificate each semester or academic year, and These three standards measure both qualitative and quantitative progress. Students will be ineligible for federal and state financial aid if these standards are not met. Each student’s progress will be reviewed every semester to determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid for the upcoming term. (see note bottom of page) Failure to Maintain Satisfactory Progress* Your financial aid will be canceled if you do not maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for two consecutive terms. Your class schedule must be finalized before the first day of the term. Otherwise, any credit level changes you make may result in probation or cancellation status. Qualitative Standards Students receiving Title IV funds must maintain the following cumulative GPA ranges.

This includes transfer credits and all semesters of enrollment (including summer sessions) and applies to each degree or certificate pursued whether or not financial aid was received. Once the maximum number of credits is completed, the federal financial aid eligibility ends.

Financial Aid 17 General Information Other Progress Issues Appeal Process Effects of Consortium Credits on Satisfactory Progress A student who has lost financial aid eligibility may appeal. All appeals must be submitted in writing to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships using the Appeal for Financial Aid Reinstatement form and with appropriate documentation. Documentation may include a letter from an AWC counselor, a physician, attorney, social services agency, parole officer, obituary notice, or divorce decree. Extenuating circumstances that may be considered include: personal illness or accident, serious illness or death within immediate family, long-term absence from school, or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the student. The condition or situation must no longer exist, and the student must be able to complete course work successfully or an appeal will not be granted. Results of an appeal include approval, probation, or denial. Incomplete or undocumented appeals will be automatically denied. Consortium credits will count towards Satisfactory Progress requirements. Developmental Courses A maximum of 30 credits of developmental classes (excluding ESL courses) may be counted towards a student’s minimum-credits-per-academic-yearrequirement. However, these credits will not be charged against the total maximum credits allowed. The exact number of allowable developmental credits will be determined by a student’s academic skill assessment results. If You Change Your Program of Study You must notify the Financial Aid Office in writing if you change your program of study. If you have already attempted 100% of the credits required for graduation in your new program but have not graduated, you will also need to submit an EAP (Educational Academic Plan). Progress Toward Graduation You will be required to have your course progress reviewed to determine what classes are still needed for graduation. This is required once you have completed the number of credit hours for your program of study (example, 64 credits for an Associate in Arts degree). You will be required to complete an Educational Academic Plan with your academic or program advisor. This EAP must list the classes you intend to take each term, starting with the current semester, to the last semester when you will graduate. This EAP cannot include classes needed for transfer into another program or college unless those classes are applicable to your current Arizona Western College degree or certificate. After you turn in your EAP, the Financial Aid Office will not pay for any classes you register for that are not listed on your EAP. For example, if you register for 10 credits from your EAP and a 3 credit class is not listed on your EAP, financial aid will fund you at 3/4 time only for the eligible 10 credits. Your EAP is to be turned in to the Financial Aid Office. 18 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility A student who has lost financial aid eligibility may be reinstated after successful completion (without federal funds) of at least six (6) credit hours with a semester GPA of 2.0. What else must a student know? • Funds received under all federal and state aid programs must be used solely for expenses related to attendance or continued attendance at AWC. • Students are responsible for repayment of the prorated amount of any portion of payments made which cannot reasonably be attributed to meeting educational expenses related to attendance at AWC. • The amount of such repayment is to be determined on the basis of criteria set forth by the Secretary of Education. • Students owing payment for any financial aid program coordinated by AWC are not eligible to receive funds until payment is made. • Students who are scholarship, grant and/or loan recipients and who drop a course or courses during the official add/drop periods, some or all of the aid awarded will be returned to the appropriate program or lender. • Specific responsibilities relating to other programs will be provided to the recipient at the time the aid is granted. The Tax Reform Act impacts students who receive grant or scholarship assistance. Any amount of gift aid (grants, scholarships, fellowships, stipends, assistantships) may be taxable for the amount in excess of tuition, fees, and course-related expenses. Since financial aid is awarded for an academic year, and portions of two academic years fall in a calendar or tax year, it is important for all aid recipients to keep copies of the Notice of Award and Acceptance Agreement and to maintain careful records of all direct educational expenses throughout the year. Any student who has a specific question or concern should contact his/her tax preparer. Attempted Fraud Students who are applying for financial aid must understand that federal and state laws, as well as institutional policy, require that all information provided be accurate. If it is not, a student may lose certain rights and benefits, be prosecuted under state and/or federal statutes, and lose financial aid eligibility. It is extremely important, therefore, that students accurately complete all application materials and be prepared to document all of the financial data provided. If the information on an application appears to be fraudulent or misleading, the student will first be contacted by the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office staff for documentation and discussion. If, at the time it is determined that the possibility of fraud exists, the Director may refer the case to the appropriate college disciplinary officer. Attempted fraud may include false claims of independent student status, false claims of citizenship, use of false identities, forgery of signatures or certifications, false statement of income, and similar conduct. These are very serious matters since the case must in some instances be referred to the Office of the Inspector General, Region IX, U.S. Department of Education, for investigation. Referrals may also be made to Arizona Western College Police, U.S. Attorney’s Office, or State Attorney General for proper adjudication. If applicants determine that any information that they have provided earlier to the Financial Aid Office is in error, they should take the initiative to correct it so that no misunderstanding can occur regarding the accuracy of information. Persons violating College policies or regulations regarding alcohol and drug abuse are subject to College disciplinary and/or legal sanctions. STEP 4: Program Choice: Counseling and Advisement Services Once you have your placement test scores, you should begin the next step of your journey at Counseling and Advisement Services, Student Services Building.

(928) 328-2437 Once you have an academic advisor, the next step is to decide which type of program best matches your talents, career interests, and occupational goals. At AWC, there are five types of programs available: Transfer Degrees (A. A., A.Bus., A.S.) These programs are designed to include eleven Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) courses and nine to ten courses in a selected major and in electives which then transfer the student to an Arizona university for further study towards a bachelor’s degree. Occupational Degrees (A. A.S.) These programs are designed to include seven General Education courses and thirteen to fourteen courses in a selected major and in electives which prepare students to enter the world of work in a particular occupation. General Studies Degree (A.G.S.) This program is designed to include twelve General Education courses and nine courses in a selected area of study and in electives. The A.G.S. is best suited for those students who are transferring credits into AWC or who have military experiences to include as credit; this program is not an Arizona articulated transfer degree. Occupational Certificates Occupational certificates are designed for those students who are not seeking a degree and who wish to complete a shorter program of study which provides them with certain skills for immediate employment. The number of credits required in certificate programs varies depending upon the program. AGEC Certificates AGEC (Arizona General Education Curriculum) certificates are designed for those transfer students who can only spend one year at AWC, but who would like to finish their “general courses” before transferring to an Arizona university. 20 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog Within these five types of programs, there are many majors from which to choose; see the AWC Programs for 2005–2006, p. 56. Program Choice For those students who have decided upon a program, the program requirements can be found in the Degrees and Certificates section of this catalog, pp. 58–114; these requirements are the “check sheet” for your program; printable checksheets are also available at http://www.azwestern.edu/counseling/list When you have decided upon a program, then the next step is to “declare a major:” the Major Code can be found under each program in the Degrees and Certificates section; you declare a major by entering the major code on the registration program card each semester. (Students who are continuing under earlier catalogs or old programs need to ask their academic advisors for those previous codes. These same students also need to refer to the “Choice of Catalog” section on p. 29 of this catalog.) Decided students who are degree seeking should also have a copy of the general education requirements which are appropriate to their degree: • Transfer degree (A.A., A.Bus., A.S.) students use the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) Course List (see p. 54) • Occupational degree (A.A.S.) students use the A.A.S. General Education Course List (see p. 55) • General Studies (A.G.S.) students follow the instructions contained in the program requirements for their general education courses. Undecided students should meet with a counselor to discuss possible career interests. It is recommended that undecided students take an interest inventory, such as the COPS (Career Occupational Preference System) or Strong Interest Inventory to help them determine their possible level of education. If you are considering a career which requires a university education (bachelor’s degree or higher), then you should, at the very least, enroll in the Associate in Arts (A.A.) in General Studies. Undecided students who are considering a career in the sciences, but who are unsure about a major, should enroll in the Associate in Science (A.S.) in General Studies. Those university-bound students who have decided upon a major which AWC does not offer (for example, architecture), but who wish to complete their Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) courses (a block of 35 credits) as well as selected 100 and 200 • for Arizona State University: http://www.asu.edu/provost/articulation/ click on: Information for Students click on: Documents and Information for AZ community colleges click on: Arizona Western College click on: Transfer Guides click on: desired ASU college, school, and major • for Northern Arizona University: http://www.nau.edu/regis/transguide/info.htm click on: Arizona Western College click on: desired major and choice of catalog year • for University of Arizona: http://transferguides.arizona.edu/ click on: Transfer Guide by Major click on: desired major (alphabetical listing) click on: Arizona Western College click on: choice of catalog year For decided university-bound majors, it is also necessary to have a copy of the bachelor’s degree requirements of the university to which you wish to transfer. Seeing these requirements not only shows you what to expect when you arrive at the university, but also helps you choose general electives at AWC. Transfer guides and bachelor’s degree requirements may list additional courses which are either required or recommended in a particular major. Bachelor’s degree requirements for the three State universities may be found as follows: • for Arizona State University: http://www.asu.edu/catalog/ • for Northern Arizona University: http://www4.nau.edu/aio/AcademicCatalog/ academiccatalogs.htm • for University of Arizona: http://www.catalog.arizona.edu/allcats.html Students wishing to transfer to Northern Arizona University in Yuma should consult the following website: http://www.nau.edu/nauyuma STEP 5: Registration/Course Load After having seen an advisor and choosing a program, your next step is to register for classes. Registration Students are to register as designated in the College Calendar and in the manner specified in the Class Schedule. To be eligible to register each student must have completed all admissions requirements and have met the prerequisites (PRE) and/or corequisites (COREQ) listed in the Course Descriptions section of this catalog. Failure to complete the admissions procedures may result in cancellation or denial of class enrollment. Students are not permitted to register after the designated deadlines without the expressed approval of the instructor and the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services. Any student needing information about registration may call (928) 317- 6100, or write the Enrollment Services Office, Arizona Western College, P.O. Box 929, Yuma, Arizona 85366 0929, or go to http://azwestern.edu/enrollment/ contact.php and click on the General Information email address. General Information level major and elective courses (a block of 29 credits) at AWC should enroll in either the A.A. or A.S. in General Studies. To help you decide upon which courses to include in both the major and elective blocks, you and your academic advisor should consult the university transfer guides for specific required and recommended courses; the university transfer guides can be found at the following websites: Registration Program Card Registration Form You and your academic advisor review the Class Schedule, select a number of courses, and then enter the information from the Class Schedule onto the registration form. The major code, advisor’s code, and advisor’s signature are also entered on the form. You then take the form to the Enrollment Services Office where your choices of courses are processed. Special Admit Signatures for Registration Form All students in middle school, grade school, or high school must submit a registration form with the following signatures: High School/Middle School Counselor or Principal signature. If the student is home schooled, the parent signs as the school official. If the student is taking no more than 7 credits, an AWC advisor/counselor signature is then indicated. Any course load over 7 credits for these specific students is considered an overload and requires the Associate Dean of Student Development signature. For students 16 years old and under: they must obtain written permission from the instructor of the specific classes in addition to the representative from their school. Students can check with the registration 21 General Information Counseling and Advisement Office to see if permission has been given for an advisor/counselor to sign on behalf of the instructor. After these signatures are received, the student will request the signature of the Associate Dean of Student Development. The decision to approve the student registration is dependent upon placement test scores, student grades, and instructor approval. Adds and Drops The normal academic load, for a program to be completed in two years, is defined as 15–16 credits per semester. Most classes routinely require two to three hours of outside preparation for each hour spent in class. Enrollment in more than 18 credits requires the permission of the Associate Dean of Student Development. Students must submit their requests in writing and provide copies of their transcripts. During the designated add/drop period or as specified by the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services, students may revise their programs by dropping classes and/or adding any classes that are open. The change of enrollment must follow the procedures published in the semester Class Schedule. Certain restrictions may apply. Students withdrawing from class(es) after the add/drop period must follow withdrawal procedures. Classes dropped during the designated add/drop period will not appear on the student’s grade report or transcript. Please see p. 25 for refund eligibility criteria. For Financial Aid recipients, dropping or adding may affect your award. Check with the Financial Aid Disbursement Department in the Business Office. Summer Session Withdrawals The normal academic load for a summer session is not more than seven credits. Most classes routinely require two to three hours of outside preparation for each hour spent in class. Enrollment in more than seven credits requires the permission of the Associate Dean of Student Development. Students must submit their requests in writing and provide copies of their transcripts. After the designated add/drop period and through the first three quarters of the course, or as specified by the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services, students may withdraw from one or more classes and receive a grade of “W” on their official academic record. Classes lasting less than an entire semester may have a different withdrawal period. The date a withdrawal notification is received in the Enrollment Services Office is considered the student’s last date of attendance in the specified class. Students who totally withdraw from AWC must submit a “Withdrawal Card” to the Enrollment Services Office. Students who are withdrawing from all classes must see the Business Office before submitting the “Withdrawal Card” to the Enrollment Services Office. For Financial Aid recipients, withdrawing may affect your award. Check with the Financial Aid Disbursement Department in the Business Office. Please see p. 25 for refund eligibility criteria. Academic Class Load Course Load and Program Completion Elsewhere in this catalog, full-time status is defined as being enrolled for twelve or more credits in any given semester. If you choose to enroll for only twelve credits per semester, keep in mind that in four semesters, you will have completed only forty-eight credits. Most degree programs require completion of sixty-four credits. Those students choosing to enroll in twelve credits per semester, therefore, should plan on attending either summer sessions or additional semesters. Obviously, Step 5 is repeated as often as necessary until you complete your program requirements. If you wish to make a change in your enrollment (adding or dropping a class) in the courses for which you have registered or if you should need to withdraw from a class, note the two following policies and procedures. 22 Change of Enrollment Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog Payment of Financial Obligation After you have registered for classes, your next step is to pay the tuition and any fees for the upcoming semester. • All financial obligations are due and payable at the time they are incurred if the payment due date for a given term has passed.

Refund Policies Refund of Tuition and Special Fees Refund of payments received during the academic year will be prepared (only in amounts of one dollar or more) if requested on or before the first business day in June of the current academic year. A signed “Request for Refund” form must be filed with the Business Office to initiate the refund process. Forms may be obtained at the Business Office or Enrollment Services Office on Main Campus or at any off-campus site. Completed forms may be dropped off at the Business Office or any off-campus site, or faxed to (928) 317- 6026 or mailed to: AWC, Business Office, P.O. Box 929, Yuma, AZ 85366 - 0929.

Dropping a Class Students who officially drop one or more classes during the designated add/drop period of any semester or class will be refunded all tuition and special fees. The college accepts no responsibility for dropping you from the specific classes you intended not to take. It is your responsibility to officially drop a class during the official add/drop period of any semester or class, if you decide not to attend. Officially dropping will ensure that you will not be charged for classes that you do not attend. Financial Aid recipients should refer to the Financial Aid section of the catalog for further clarification. To initiate the refund process, see “Refund of Tuition and Special Fees” above. Refunds must be requested on or before the first business day in June of the current academic year. Deadlines for Dropping Classes and Receiving a Refund To receive a refund for: • • • Class Withdrawals After the Add/Drop Period (less than total withdrawal from AWC) No refund request will be considered, charges will remain on the student’s account, and classes will appear on the student’s grade report or transcript. Total Withdrawal from AWC Students who totally withdraw from AWC must submit a “Withdrawal Card” to the Enrollment Services Office, and subsequently may be eligible for a prorated refund of all tuition and special fees. An administrative charge, not exceeding the lesser of $100 or 5% of charges assessed the student, will be deducted from all refunds. In order to consider the request for refund, a student must submit a Petition for Extenuating Circumstances Refund to the Enrollment Services Office. The following deadlines to be considered for a refund are as follows: Fall—Last Thursday in October, Spring—Last Thursday in March, Summer—June 30. A. Refund Eligibility Criteria Include: • Serious illness or injury verified by a doctor’s written statement (includes psychological disabilities verified by a psychologist); • Death of a spouse, parent, in-law, grandparent, sibling, or child verified by a death certificate; • Military duty assignment verified by a copy of the orders; or • Students receiving federal financial aid. (Refund returned to the appropriate financial aid program). a semester length class, an official drop must occur prior to or during the first four days of the semester; a semester length class meeting one day per week, an official drop must occur prior to or on the day after the second class meeting; B. Refund Calculation Total withdrawal prior to— • end of add/drop period receives a 100% refund less administrative charge; • end of add/drop period through 10% of enrollment period receives a 90% refund less administrative charge; • 25% of enrollment period receives a 50% refund less administrative charge; • 50% of enrollment period receives a 25% refund less administrative charge. a summer semester class, an official drop must occur prior to or during the first three days of the semester; • a class meeting two days or less, an official drop • all other classes, an official drop must occur prior must occur prior to start of class; to or on the day after the second class meeting. Cancelled Class Fees for classes cancelled by Arizona Western College will be fully refunded without submitting the “Request for Refund” form. A net reduction in total credits due to changes in enrollment or the cancellation of a class may qualify a student for a refund. Financial Aid recipients should refer to the Financial Aid section of the catalog for further clarification. General Information All other refunds will either be mailed to the student’s last known address or returned to the appropriate financial aid program. Specific refunding rules, criteria, calculations and priorities follow. Processing of the Request for Refund begins two weeks after the end of the add/drop period. Refunds are normally completed within four weeks after processing begins. The date a withdrawal notification is received in the Enrollment Services Office is considered the student’s last date of attendance in the specified class. (See Return of Funds calculation—part C, below, if you are receiving federal financial aid.) C. Return of Federal Funds Policy This policy governs all federal grant and loan programs (Pell, SEOG, Stafford Loans, Perkins, and PLUS loans), but does not include the Federal Work-Study program. Refund Policies 25 General Information The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 pertain to the Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aid when a student withdraws completely from school. Title IV funds are awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive. In general, the law assumes that a student “earns” approved (verified) federal financial aid awards in proportion to the number of days in the term prior to the student’s complete withdrawal. If a student completely withdraws from school during a term, the school must calculate, according to a specific federal formula, the portion of the total scheduled financial assistance that the student has earned and is, therefore, entitled to retain, until the time that the student withdrew. This policy governs the earned and unearned portions of the student’s Federal Title IV Financial Aid only. It determines how much, if any, the student and/or the school may need to return. This policy does not affect the student’s charges. The student is responsible for paying any outstanding charges to the school. Return of Funds Calculation • The responsibility to repay unearned aid is shared by the institution and student in proportion to the aid each is assumed to possess. • During the first 60% of the enrollment period the student “earns” Title IV aid in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. • Percentage is calculated by dividing the number of days completed in the term by the number of calendar days in the term. • Percentage is applied to the amount of disbursable aid to the student for that period of enrollment. Order of Return of Title IV Funds A school must return Title IV funds to the programs from which the student received aid in the following order, up to the net amount disbursed from each source: • • • • 26 Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans Subsidized Federal Stafford loans Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans Subsidized Direct Stafford Loans Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog • • • • • Federal Perkins loans • Other Title IV assistance Federal PLUS loans Direct PLUS Loans Federal Pell Grant FSEOG (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants) Student Repayment Responsibility The student is obligated to repay grant overpayments. Upon submission of the withdrawal card, the Financial Aid Disbursement Office will notify the student, in writing, of the amount of overpayment and available payment arrangements. If not paid within forty-five days, the U.S. Department of Education will be notified. Room Refunds Refunds to students departing from residence halls prior to the end of the semester are computed on the following basis: • Before ten weeks of room occupancy, students forfeit their room deposits and will be charged 10% of the total semester rate for each week or partial week of registered occupancy, beginning with the day the residence halls are open. • After ten weeks of room occupancy, students are not entitled to any refund for room, but will be eligible for refund of their room deposit. The room deposit is retained as security against a student’s cancellation of the housing agreement, voluntary termination of residency prior to full semester payment, property damage or other possible charges that may accrue during residency. Although normally refundable, the entire room deposit is subject to forfeiture under the conditions stated in the Arizona Western College Residence Hall Agreement. Board Refunds Refunds will be made on a prorated basis determined by the number of weeks remaining in the semester. A meal ticket held for any portion of a week is considered in use for the entire week. Step 6: Term of Expected Graduation Educational Academic Plan (EAP): Counseling and Advisement Services Fall .......................................... 1st Monday in November Step 7: Graduation By filling out the EAP, you will know how many semesters it will take you to complete all program requirements. In the final semester of your enrollment, you should apply for graduation. The graduation policies and procedures of AWC are as follows To graduate from AWC, the student must: • Meet the basic requirements for an associate degree or certificate, as listed in the General Program Requirements section of this catalog; • Provide an official AWC transcript and any other transfer credit documentation including advanced placement credit, military transcripts, CLEP scores, etc. • Complete the Learning Outcomes Assessment at the AWC Testing Center. • File a completed Application for Graduation form with the Enrollment Services Office and pay the required non-refundable graduation fee in accordance with the following time schedule: Spring............................................ 1st Monday in March Summer ........................................... 1st Monday in June • Students must clear any indebtedness to the college before degree/certificate requirements will be certified or the degree/certificate will be awarded. • Students are responsible for meeting in full the requirements for graduation set forth in this catalog. General Information Once you have begun classes and settled into the semester’s routine, you should make another appointment to see your academic advisor in order to complete the Educational Academic Plan (EAP). EAP forms may be obtained in Counseling and Advisement Services. Although an EAP is required for certain students at AWC (Student Support Services, financial aid appeals, Veterans, and occupational degree candidates), it is a very useful tool for all students to help you plan your program of studies through to its completion, keeping in mind your course load each semester and your desired date of graduation. The EAP is also an opportunity for further career exploration with a counselor. After you and your academic advisor have completed the EAP form (including any additional or developmental courses which you may require) and have signed the form, all students are to return the EAP form to Counseling and Advisement Services, which will then distribute copies of the EAP to the appropriate offices on-campus. Application Deadline The graduation fee covers the cost of processing, ceremony, and diploma. Students not completing graduation requirements within ten months of the original Application Deadline date will be charged an additional graduation fee. Additional Degree and/or Major A student may earn recognition of an additional major, subject to the following stipulations: • All degree and major requirements must be completed. • Students must apply through the normal graduation application process. Congratulations! By following these seven steps from admission to graduation, you can achieve your goal of obtaining a college degree or certificate. These seven steps introduce you to the many services at AWC directly related to your goal: student services (admission, testing, financial aid, counseling, registration, and graduation), learning services (your classes with the faculty), technology services (the computer lab and library), and business services (payment of tuition and fees). The next section lists additional services available at AWC which support your journey through these seven steps. 27 General Information Other Services The services of AWC are grouped into four areas: • • • • Learning services, Student services, Technical services, Business services. This section gives the details of these services and directories to help you contact the various offices which offer them.

Enrollment in Summer Session(s) will be allowed. Choice of Catalog Students maintaining continuous enrollment follow the requirements outlined by the catalog in effect when they first enroll in a public Arizona community college or university. A student may choose instead to follow the requirements outlined by any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous enrollment. Each student is responsible for knowing and abiding by the policies described in the catalog chosen. Summer Admission Students admitted or readmitted to a public Arizona community college or university during a summer term follow the requirements of the catalog in effect the following Fall semester. Students transferring among Arizona public higher education institutions must meet the admission requirements, residency requirements, and all curricular and academic requirements of the degree-granting institution. Length of Suspension AWC Policies After at least a one semester absence [not including Summer Session(s)] the student will be eligible, without appeal, for readmission to Arizona Western College. Candidates for associate degrees and certificates are required to fulfill degree or certificate requirements outlined in the catalog in effect at the time of the student’s initial enrollment at AWC, with the following exception—students not attending or who totally withdraw from AWC for more than two consecutive semesters must meet the degree or certificate requirements outlined in the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment. Readmission to Arizona Western College A readmitted student will be placed on academic probation and will be subject to other conditions imposed by the Academic Standards Committee. Arizona Western College does not normally recognize credit earned from other institutions during the time the student is on academic suspension. Academic Renewal Policy A student returning to Arizona Western College after an absence of at least three years and who has satisfactorily completed twelve (12) or more credits after returning, may, with the approval of the Dean of Instruction, have his/her former record treated in the same manner as transfer credits. That means that credit would be retained only for those courses in which a grade of “C” or higher was earned. All courses will remain on the student’s transcript; however, course work affected by this policy with grades of “D” or “F” will not be calculated into the cumulative grade point average and will not be included in total credits completed. Academic renewal may be granted only once during a student’s enrollment. General Information A student readmitted for one semester under this section may be limited in the number of credits or classes allowed and may be required to submit to academic monitoring by an advisor or counselor throughout the semester. The Academic Standards Committee will review the student’s record at the end of the semester and determine if the student shall be placed on academic suspension, attend classes with continued monitoring, or attend classes without restriction. A preregistered student will be dropped from all classes if the appeal process upholds suspension. Program Changes by Outside Regulatory Agencies Those students enrolled in programs regulated by outside agencies, such as nursing and emergency medical services, may be subject to changes in their degree or certificate requirements. Students in such programs should keep in close contact with their academic advisors about such possible changes in order to allow for a timely completion of the new requirements. Grading System System I* Performance for Learning Outcomes Points Per Credit A—Exceptional performance for most learning outcomes .... 4 B—Good performance for most learning outcomes ............. 3 C—Satisfactory performance for most learning outcomes .... 2 D—Unsatisfactory performance for most learning outcomes ... 1 F—Unsatisfactory performance for all learning outcomes ....... 0 System II* CR—Credit ................................ not computed into the GPA NC—No Credit........................... not computed into the GPA Academic policies 29 General Information To earn credit, “CR,” a student must have achieved an equivalent grade of “C” or higher for the course. No prerequisite requirement will be satisfied by a grade of “D” or “F.” Additional grade symbols included in both systems but not calculated into the grade-point average are: AU—Audit .................................................. see Audit Policy I—Incomplete ................................... see Incomplete Policy W—Withdrawal ............................... see Withdrawal section ..................................................................... in this catalog NS—No Show ........................ student never attended class R—Repeat .............................................. see Repeat Policy IP—In Progress ......... see Course In Progress Grade Policy *Students have the option to select either System I or System II at the time of registration. A change from System I to System II or from System II to System I is permitted prior to the mid-point of the course. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate this procedure and complete the required paperwork. A maximum of 16 credits of “CR” may be applied toward graduation from Arizona Western College. A minimum of six credits in Freshman Composition and the required major courses must be completed under System I except upon approval of the Vice President for Learning Services. Courses taken for the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) must be completed under System I except upon approval of the Vice President for Learning Services. Incompletes A grade of incomplete is permissible only when the student has been unable to complete assigned course work due to an illness or to other reasons beyond his/ her control and is applicable only when the student would otherwise have had a passing grade. A student receiving an incomplete has the responsibility of initiating the procedure for completing the work. The course must be completed during the following semester or a grade of “F” (if registered for Grading System I), or “NC” (if registered for Grading System II), will be recorded for the course. Additional time may be required by the student and granted at the discretion of the instructor. In the event an extension is granted, the instructor must notify the Enrollment Services Office in writing. Auditing Auditing classes is permitted with the permission of the instructor. Students auditing a class are expected to attend class regularly and participate in general class activities; however, students are not required 30 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog to take examinations or complete class assignments. Students auditing a class must officially register in the course but will not receive credit or a grade in the class. The grade symbol of “AU” will show on the official college transcript. In addition to the regular tuition and fee charges, there will be an additional assessment as specified in the Schedule of Fees. The last day to change a class from audit to credit or credit to audit is the last day of the add/drop period. Courses taken as audit may not be retaken for credit. Course-in-progress Grade “IP” is a grade indicating a course is in progress and a final grade has yet to be assigned. It is not to be used as an alternative to an incomplete grade. The “IP” must be used for open entry/open exit courses or short courses approved by the Dean of Instruction when the ending date of the course is not coincidental with the ending date of the grading period in which the course begins. At the close of the first grading period, an “IP” grade will be assigned. The “IP” will be replaced by a letter grade at the conclusion of the course. There is a limit of one more semester beyond the semester of enrollment (not including summer) to replace the “IP.” After this time limit, the “IP” reverts to the grade of “F.” The “IP” is not computed in the G.P.A. Change of Grade A grade reported to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services may be changed only upon the authorization of the faculty member issuing the grade, unless there is evidence of institutional error. Students should first discuss the issue with the faculty member involved. If the problem is not resolved, then the student should discuss the issue with the appropriate Division Chair. If the issue is not resolved, the student may obtain a Student Petition from the Office of the Dean of Instruction and write a formal request for a review of the grade. Petitions may be reviewed by any of the instructional Deans. Grade change requests must occur within five semesters (including summers) of the original grade issuance. After the five-semester period, a request for review of grade will not be granted unless there are unusual circumstances as determined by the Vice President for Learning Services. Course Admission by Instructor Permission A number of courses require specific prerequisites or corequisites and/or permission of the instructor in order to enroll. Students who have not met the Repeat Classes Students may enroll for a course previously completed at AWC for a variety of reasons: (1) to earn a better grade, to update knowledge in a particular field, or to take a refresher course, or (2) to earn additional credits in courses which change topics or which allow for continuous and multiple experiences. In the first case, only the best grade is figured into the GPA and the course credits are only counted once. An example is a student who took SPA 101 and received a “C,” but felt he didn’t learn the basic grammar well enough to advance to 102; he repeats 101. In the second case, all the credits and grades of each repetition are figured into the student’s GPA and total number of credits. An example is a theater student who participates each semester in the College’s plays; she enrolls in THE 250 Rehearsal and Production four times and receives credits and grades for each semester. Permission to repeat some courses may require departmental or division approval, and it may not be possible to repeat some courses due to program or external requirements. Generally, financial aid and veteran’s rules prohibit use of financial aid to repeat a course. Other colleges and universities may include both grades in determining transfer credit. Independent Study AWC provides the opportunity for students to pursue, on an individual basis, subjects in the students’ major area of study. Independent study is not intended, nor will it be allowed, as a substitute for existing courses as listed in this catalog. If the student is preparing to complete the last semester of study prior to graduation and the college is unable to offer a major course required for a degree, independent study will be considered. In an independent study arrangement, the student first receives approval from his/her advisor and the instructor selected to supervise the study. The student then meets with the instructor to arrange a course outline and to agree on the requirements. The instructor then notifies the appropriate division chair who authorizes scheduling of the course. The number of credits may vary from 1 to 3. Current tuition rates apply, as do standard grading policies. Independent study opportunities are for students who: • • • • are currently enrolled in classes at AWC, have a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA, have completed 12 credits in their major, and General Information specified prerequisite with a grade of “C” or higher or have not met the corequisite course(s), but who can demonstrate the essential knowledge and skills to enroll in a course should contact the respective instructor. The instructor’s signature is required on the program card or add/drop card in order to gain admission into the course. Students may seek an instructor’s signature (or permission to enroll) in most courses contained in this catalog with the exception of Basic Writing (ENG 95, 96) and Composition courses (ENG 100, 101, and 102) and some programs that have prescribed entrance requirements. are eligible for General Education course work. Independent study courses are subject to the availability and consent of qualified instructors. Courses are run by semester and all work must be completed within the semester dates. A student may register for a maximum of 3 credits of independent study in a given semester. Only 3 credits taken as independent study will apply toward an associate degree. Attendance Policy Students are expected to attend every session of class in which they are enrolled. Class attendance is especially important for academic success at the college level, particularly for laboratory and activity classes since a substantial portion of course content can be learned only through class participation. Final Exams Final examinations are an essential and integral component of students’ classroom experiences, and all students are required to take them. Times and dates of final examinations are published in the AWC Schedule of Classes. Students must attend their final examinations sessions. A student is not required to take more than two (2) final exams in one day (6:00 A.M.–10:30 P.M.). In case a student is scheduled for three (3) or more exams in one day, he/she should contact the appropriate faculty member or division chair (AWC) or area coordinator (NAU in Yuma) of the middle final. The faculty member, division chair, or area coordinator will then arrange to schedule a make-up exam with the appropriate faculty. Dean’s List Each semester, students who successfully complete twelve (12) or more credits and whose grade-point average for the semester is 3.500 or above are placed on the Dean’s List for special academic achievement. Only A, B, C, D and F grades are used to calculate the grade-point average. Academic Policies 31 General Information Honors Program Honors Liberal Arts Incoming students wishing to participate in any aspect of the Honors Program must have: Recommended for those students who wish to enter a rigorous program with a “classical Honors” orientation.

This document is intended to provide a framework for an orderly and stable College community and to protect the due process rights of students and other members of the campus community. Student Services 37 General Information The Code covers student conduct which occurs on College property, at a College sponsored, sanctioned, or supervised activity or function regardless of location, and, in any manner, on or off campus, is associated with the College or otherwise deemed to affect the operation of the College.

To assist students in complying with the copyright law, appropriate notices shall be placed on or near all equipment capable of duplicating copyrighted materials. Taping of Classroom Lectures • Faculty members shall inform their students, within the first week of class, their rules regarding taping. Failure to do so will accord students the right to tape the lectures. • Students with disabilities that render them unable to take adequate lecture notes are entitled to reasonable accommodation to remedy this inability. Requests for accommodation are processed through the Services for Students with Disabilities Office. FERPA Guidelines for the Release of Student Information Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) Purpose of FERPA FERPA deals specifically with the education records of students, affording them certain rights with respect to those records. For purpose or definition, education records are those records that are: • • Directly related to a student and maintained by an institution or a party acting for the institution FERPA gives students who reach the age of 18 or who attend a postsecondary institution the right to inspect and review their own education records. Furthermore, students have other rights, including the right to request amendment of records and to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from these records. FERPA applies to the education records of persons who are or have been in attendance in postsecondary institutions, including students in cooperative and correspondence study programs. FERPA does not apply to records of applicants for admission who are denied or, if accepted, do not attend an institution. Furthermore, rights are not given by FERPA to students enrolled in one component of an institution who seek to be admitted in another component of an institution. Students’ Rights Under FERPA • Students and former students have rights to inspect and review their education records. • Students must be able to inspect and review their education records within a maximum of 45 days after they request to do so. The right of inspection and review includes: • The right to an explanation and interpretation of the record. • The right to a copy of the education records when failure to provide a copy of the record would effectively prevent the student from inspecting and reviewing the record. Some limitations exist on students’ right to inspect and review their education record. 38 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog Financial information submitted by parents. • Confidential letters and recommendations placed in their files after January 1, 1975, to which the student has waived his or her right to inspect and review and that are related to the students’ admission, application for employment or job placement, or receipt of honors. • Confidential letters and recommendations placed in their files prior to January 1, 1975. Education records containing information about more than one student. Definition of Education Records Those records directly related to a student and maintained by the institution or by a party acting for the institution are considered education records. The term “education records” does not include the following: • Records of instructional, supervisory, administrative, and certain educational personnel which are in the sole possession of the maker thereof, and are not accessible or revealed to any other individual except a substitute who performs on a temporary basis (as defined in the institutional personnel policy) the duties of the individual who made the records. • Records maintained by a law enforcement unit of the educational agency or institution that were created by that law enforcement unit for the purpose of law enforcement. • Records relating to individuals who are employed by the institution, which are made and maintained in the normal course of business, relate exclusively to individuals in their capacity as employees, and are not available for use for any other purpose. • Records relating to a student which are: • Created or maintained by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized professional or paraprofessional, acting in his/her professional capacity or assisting in a paraprofessional capacity. • Used solely in connection with the provision of treatment to the student; and • Not disclosed to anyone other than individuals providing such treatment. Definition of Legitimate Educational Interest It means the demonstrated need to know by those officials of an institution who act in the students’ educational interest, including faculty, administration, lerical and professional employees, and other persons who manage student records information. Any school official who needs information about a student in the course of performing instructional, supervisory, advisory, or administrative duties for Arizona Western College has a legitimate educational interest. General Information • • FERPA Exemptions to Privacy: Directory Information Provisions of FERPA allow the institution to define directory information, that is, information that is public. Your name, current enrollment status, and certificates and/or degrees earned and/or awards received at Arizona Western College are considered public information. Any AWC employee may provide this directory information about students in response to all inquiries in this regard, whether the request is in person, by phone, or in writing. The following directory information items may appear in college directories and publications and may be released, at the discretion of the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services in the course of College business: Address, telephone number(s), date of birth, student e-mail address, dates of attendance, city of residence, major field of study, awards, honors, past and present participation in officially recognized sports or activities, physical characteristics of athletes, including height and weight, and student images including but not limited to photograph and other media. Students May Request Nondisclosure of Directory Information Enrolled students may withhold disclosure of directory information under FERPA by submitting a “Request to Restrict Disclosure of Directory Information” form to the Enrollment Services Office at Arizona Western College. Adding a privacy restriction to your record will prevent the college from releasing directory information to the general public including phone and written requests from financial lenders, employers or insurance companies for verification of terms of enrollment. Please note that under the Solomon Amendment of 1997, military recruiters are guaranteed access to directory information for all students except those with privacy restriction designated on their records. For anyone calling for a student who has a privacy restriction noted on the record, the following statement should be spoken: “In accordance with the rights granted to all students by the FERPA, this individual has requested that release for his/her educational record be withheld. Therefore, I cannot release any information for you relative to this individual.” FERPA 39 General Information Exceptions to Student Consent for Release of Educational Records FERPA allows the institution the right to disclose student records or identifiable information without the student’s consent under the following circumstances: • To authorized representatives for audit of federal or state supported programs. • To College employees who are in the process of carrying out their specifically assigned educational or administrative responsibilities acting in the student’s educational interest. • • Veteran’s Administration officials. • Persons or organizations providing financial aid to students. • Organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions to develop, validate, and administer predictive tests to administer student aid programs or to improve instruction, provided that individual identity of students is not made. • • • • 40 Officials of other institutions in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Accrediting organizations carrying out their accrediting functions. Parents of a student who have established that student’s status as a dependent according to Internal Revenue Code of 1954, Section 152. Persons in compliance with a judicial order or a lawfully issued subpoena, provided that the institution makes a reasonable attempt to notify the student if a federal grand jury subpoena, or any other subpoena issued for a law enforcement purpose, orders the institution not to disclose the existence or contents of the subpoena. Persons in an emergency, if the knowledge of information, in fact, is necessary to protect the health or safety of students or other persons. • An alleged victim of any crime of violence of the results of any institutional disciplinary proceeding against the alleged perpetrator. The information may only be given in respect to the crime committed. • Schools may disclose personally identifiable information from education records to an outside contractor without prior written student consent if the outside contractor is a “party acting for” the institution and is performing a service which the Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog institution would otherwise have to perform for itself (as in the case of the National Student Loan Clearinghouse for loan verification). Challenge of the Contents of Education Records Institutions must provide students with an opportunity to challenge and amend the contents of their education records, which the students consider to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation or their privacy or other rights. Officials who receive challenge requests must decide within a reasonable period of time whether corrective action consistent with the student’s request will be taken. The student must be notified of the decision. If the decision is in agreement with the student’s request, the appropriate record (s) must be amended. A student who is not provided full relief sought by his/her challenge must be informed by the appropriate official, in writing, of the decision and his/her right to a formal hearing on the matter. Parental Access to Children’s Education Records At the postsecondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student’s education records. The right to inspect is limited solely to the student. Records may be released to the parents only under the following circumstances: • • • Through the written consent of the student, in compliance with a subpoena, by the submission of evidence that the parents declare the student as a dependent on their most recent Federal Income Tax form (IRS Code of 1954, Section 152). In cases of divorce, separation or custody, when only one parent declares the student as dependent, an institution may grant equal access to information from the student’s education records unless there is a court order, state statute, or legally binding document stating otherwise. Posting of Grades by Faculty The public posting of grades either by the student’s name, institutional student identification number, or social security number without the student’s written permission is a violation of FERPA, whether done via paper source or via electronic means (including the World Wide Web). Instructors and others who post grades should use a system that ensures FERPA requirements are met. This can be done by using code words or randomly assigned numbers that only the instructor and the individual students know. Students who have ceased attendance or have graduated from an institution of higher education have basically the same FERPA rights as students currently attending Arizona Western College, including the right to: • • • inspect their education records, have a hearing to amend an education record, and have their education privacy protected by the institution. Once students leave Arizona Western College they do not have the right to a privacy restriction. References for Students by Faculty FERPA’s prohibition on disclosure of personally identifiable information from an education record of a student applies to any kind of non-directory information (e.g., performance in class, grades, attitude, motivation, abilities, background) conveyed in writing, in person, or over the telephone to third parties. Although such information is usually conveyed by faculty members at the informal request of the students and is usually positive, the better practice would be to request a written consent form, meeting the FERPA requirements, before providing the information. Disposal of Student Educational Records Information about individuals should be retained only so long as it is valid and useful. Those responsible for academic information have an obligation to destroy information when conditions under which it was collected no longer prevail. Any document containing personally identifiable information must be disposed of properly through some means of confidential disposal. If you need information on confidential disposal, contact the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services at (928) 344-7617. These are interpretive guidelines only. For further detail or specific questions, please call the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services at (928) 344-7617. Annual Notification to Students General Information Students’ Rights After Ceasing Attendance or Graduating The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights are: Notice of Exceptions to Requirement to Obtain Student Consent to Release of Student Education Records Generally, a student must consent to the release of personally identifiable education records to third parties. In some cases, however, releases are permitted without the student’s consent. For example, disclosure without the student’s consent is permitted when the disclosure is to other Arizona Western College officials with a legitimate educational interest in reviewing the records. For this exception, a school official includes a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff position (including law enforcement officials and health staff), a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent), or a person serving on the Governing Board of the College. School officials deemed to have legitimate educational interests in the receipt of student records include all school officials to whom disclosures are made for purposes related to their employment duties. Another exception where a disclosure of educational records may occur without the consent of the student is a disclosure to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. A third example of student information that, in general, may be released or published by the College without receiving the consent of the student is information that is termed “Directory Information”. The College designates the following information as Directory Information: name, current enrollment status, address, telephone number(s), date of birth, dates of attendance, city of residence, major field of study, awards, honors, past and present participation of officially recognized sports or activities, physical characteristics of athletes, including height and weight and student images, including but not limited to photograph and other media. A student has the right to request that Directory Information not be disclosed. The procedures to do so are set forth in paragraph 3 of the following section of these procedures. There are additional situations where student records may be disclosed to third persons without the student’s consent. Information concerning these exceptions may be reviewed in the office of the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services. FERPA 41 General Information Summary of Processes and Rights Associated with Student Records FERPA affords each Arizona Western College student certain rights with respect to his or her education records. These rights include the following: • The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within a reasonable time not to exceed 45 days from the day the College receives a request from the student to inspect or review the records. An Arizona Western College student has the right to inspect and review that student’s own education records. If a student desires to do so, he or she should submit to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect and review. A “Request to Inspect and Review Education Records” form is available for this purpose in the Enrollment Services Office located in Room 104 of the Student Services Building. After receiving a written request, the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services will make the necessary arrangements and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected and reviewed. If circumstances effectively prevent a student from exercising his or her right to inspect and review his or her education records, Arizona Western College will (1) provide the student with copies of the requested records, or (2) make other arrangements to allow the student to inspect and review the requested records. • If the student believes that his or her education records are inaccurate or misleading, the right to request that such records be amended, supplemented or removed from the student’s education records. If a student believes that his or her education records are inaccurate or misleading, the student may ask Arizona Western College to amend, supplement or remove from the student’s education records those records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students are required to fill out a Request to Amend, Supplement or Remove Education Records form, which form is available in the Enrollment Services Office Room 104 of the Student Services Building. The form should be addressed to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services and must clearly identify those parts of the records the student desires to be changed. The student must also specify why the student believes that the records are inaccurate or misleading. If the College administrator who reviews the request decides not to amend the records in the manner or to the extent requested 42 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog by the student, the student may request a formal hearing concerning the student’s request to amend, supplement or remove education records. A student who desires such a hearing is required to fill out a Student Request for Formal Hearing Concerning Amendment of Education Records form and submit it to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services. This form is available in the Office of the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services located in Room 104 of the Student Services Building. The Associate Dean for Enrollment Services will set a time and place for the hearing within a reasonable time, normally within ten (10) school days of receipt of the formal request. The Vice President for Student Services, or another Vice President designated by the Vice President for Student Services, shall serve as the hearing officer at the hearing. Following the hearing, the hearing officer shall issue a written decision within a reasonable time, which decision shall summarize the evidence and state the reasons for the decision. If the student disagrees with the hearing officer’s decision, he or she has the right to place in his or her records a written statement commenting on the information in the record and/or stating his or her other reasons for disagreeing with the decision. This explanation will become part of the student’s education record as long as the College maintains the record. Whenever a copy of this record is sent to any party, the explanation will accompany it. • The right to restrict the disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes such disclosure without consent. A student has the right to restrict the publication or dissemination of Directory Information. To do so, a student must fill out a Request to Restrict Disclosure of Directory Information form, which form is available in the Office of the Associate Dean for Enrollment Services, Room 104 of the Student Services Building. • The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Arizona Western College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. If a student believes that his or her FERPA rights have been violated, he or she can file a written complaint with the United States Department of Education. The name and address of the office where any such complaint should be filed is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605 Courses Career Development coordinators can help you match your talents and aptitudes to your career plans, either through the courses they offer or through individualized attention.

The Foundation is led by a board of 30 directors whose commitment and energy have transformed the organization into a vibrant, effective fundraising entity. Each Director on the Foundation Board serves on at least one of the following committees: Scholarship and Grants, Fundraising and Special Events, Growth and Development, Finance and Investment, Planned Giving and Endowment, and Capital Campaign. The AWC Foundation’s major projects include: raising money for college development and scholarships. People donate to the AWC Foundation for many reasons: They want a tax write-off, they want to make a difference in someone else’s life, or they know the value of higher education and choose to support it. Donors also understand that the college needs private funds to remain strong and grow. People donate land, stocks, cash, or name the AWC Foundation as a beneficiary in their will or trust. Many individuals and businesses donate money to the AWC Foundation for scholarships. Over $500,000 is now invested in a restricted scholarship account. In recent years, over $20,000 in scholarship money was distributed to worthy students attending AWC, NAU in Yuma, or U of A—Yuma. Donations to the AWC Foundation are tax deductible. All gifts are appreciated and no gift is too small. AWC employees may donate through payroll deductions.

Associate in Business (A.Bus.) Associate in Science (A.S.) Occupational Degrees: • Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) General Studies Degree: • Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) Occupational Certificates AGEC (Arizona General Education Curriculum) Certificates Transfer Degrees Those students wishing to begin their studies at AWC with the intention of transferring to a state university are encouraged to complete one of the transfer degree programs. There are three advantages to completing a transfer degree before moving on to a university: • the lower division general education requirements will be fulfilled, • students can get an early start on their major by completing some or many of the lower division major courses during their first two years, and • by graduating with an associate’s degree, students will have completed 64 credits towards the usual 120 credits required for a bachelor’s degree, thus placing them in junior status and just over halfway through the required number of credits. Because of these obvious advantages, those transfer students who begin at AWC are strongly encouraged to stay here two years and complete a transfer degree program. The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is designed for students majoring in the arts, humanities, or the social and behavioral sciences and who plan to transfer to a college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree. The A.A. in General Studies is also offered for those students as yet undecided about their university major. 48 The Associate in Business (A.Bus.) degree is designed for students majoring in business and who plan to transfer to a college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree. The Associate in Science (A.S.) degree is designed for students majoring in the physical or biological sciences or in the health-related professions and who plan to transfer to a college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree. The A.S. in General Studies is also offered for those students as yet undecided about their university major, but who know they would like to pursue some career in science. Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog AA in General Studies Accelerated Program: EXITO EXITO: Excellence through “Xcelerated” Involvement, Teaching, and Organization. Are you interested in completing an associate’s degree in general studies to prepare you to transfer to a university? Would you like to do it quickly? The EXITO program is offering college-level ready students the opportunity to complete an A.A. transfer degree in 18 months, with fewer hours spent in the classroom. The instruction will be a combination of on-line courses and traditional courses with class times scheduled during hours which will accommodate those students who are working during the day. If this sounds like an opportunity you might be interested in, please contact Jana Moore at (928) 317- 6052 or Luisa Ruth at (928) 344-7791 (or e-mail to [email protected] or [email protected]) for more information. Occupational Degrees Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) programs provide training in theory and skills that prepare students for immediate employment in business and industry. The programs are also used to upgrade skills and retrain currently employed adults. Students who enroll in such programs generally do not plan to transfer to a four-year college or university unless it offers comparable four-year programs. An example of the latter case is the increased availability of the Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) degree. The A.A.S. in Computer Information Systems offered by AWC is a “2+2” partnership program articulated with the B.A.S. in Computer Technology offered by NAU in Yuma. Distance Education Courses The Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) degree is designed for students whose academic interests are non-specific or whose academic backgrounds may include course work taken at other institutions or credits earned, for example, through military experience. This degree enables students to declare a broad selected area of studies as a major and to include a large number of electives in the design of one’s program. Note that this is not a transfer degree, according to the articulation agreements between the Arizona community colleges and universities. Students who wish to use this degree for transfer to out-ofstate colleges and universities should consult the catalog of the institution to which they wish to transfer for specific general education and other course requirements. Students who have such educational goals should consult with a counselor to determine if the A.G.S. degree is appropriate for them, and to determine how to best select courses which will meet their objectives. Arizona Western College offers many of its courses through a variety of distance education delivery systems. At AWC, distance education means instruction that is (1) delivered to the learner regardless of time and/or geographical location, and (2) delivered via various non-traditional means. AWC faculty provides a community of scholars and real-world professionals whose expertise spans decades. You’ll get the benefit of quality traditional academic theory and today’s best practices in your field of interest. AWC distance education courses are taught by the same qualified faculty who teach the on-campus courses. At AWC, instruction is delivered at times and places that are convenient for the student. Many courses are offered by means of a variety of distance education delivery systems: Occupational Certificates A number of students enrolled in college course work do not wish to pursue a two-year associate degree but wish to concentrate on acquiring skills which lead to immediate employment. For this reason, AWC has designed certificate programs that upon completion prepare students to become employable in specific occupations. The number of credits required in certificate programs varies depending upon the program. AGEC Certificates The AGEC (Arizona General Education Curriculum) certificates are designed for those transfer students who can only spend one full-time year at AWC before they move on to the university. The AGEC certificates consist of eleven courses. By completing an AGEC and having the AGEC annotated on their transcript, students have automatically completed the lower division general education, also known as “liberal studies,” requirement at the three Arizona universities. AWC offers three AGEC certificates: AGEC-A (Arts), AGEC-B (Business), and AGEC-S (Science). • ITN—Two-way Interactive Television Network • TEL—Professionally produced telecourses via two • WEB—Totally over the Web (online). courses are transmitted to sites throughout Yuma and La Paz Counties, cable television stations—channels 74 and 75, and Degrees & Certificates Associate in General Studies Degree Online Course Content The content of online courses is just like face-to-face courses—weekly assignments, papers due at set dates, quizzes and exams, and participation. Perhaps the primary difference between online and classroom courses is that the overriding responsibility of learning lies with the online student. Being a successful online student takes self-discipline and self-enforced time management.

Residence credit is given for any course offered through AWC on or off the main campus. General Transfer Degree (A.A., A.Bus., A.S.) Requirements • All transfer degrees contain an AGEC block of 35 credits; all AGEC courses, for the purposes of transfer and annotation on the transcript, must have an A, B, or C grade. • All courses (AGEC, major, and elective) to be included in these degrees must have A, B, or C grades whether students transfer or not. The universities only take a maximum of 64 credits of community college course work towards transfer into a baccalaureate program. • All courses in transfer degrees must be numbered 100 and higher and be transferable, that is, they must carry an evaluation of “E” (general elective credit), or “DEC” (departmental elective credit), or a direct equivalency, e.g., AWC’s PSY 101 is directly equivalent to ASU’s PGS 101, NAU’s PSY 101, and U of A’s PSYC 101. • How courses transfer is contained in the Course Applicability System (CAS) Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) website. Go to az.transfer.org/cas/ and click on “Course Equivalency Guide (CEG)” in the left side menu, then “Arizona Western College,” then the prefix of the course, then scroll down to the course number. • Pathway and Language Proficiency Requirement. Note below that each transfer degree lists a pathway. “Pathway” is a term used in community college/university articulation agreements which refers to the transfer degrees (A.A., A.Bus., A.S.) Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog and the kinds of requirements (either special requirements “SR” or general requirements “GR”) contained in them which lead towards the successful completion of a bachelor’s degree, thus there are AA/GR, AA/SR, ABUS/GR, ABUS/SR, AS/GR, AS/SR pathways. Special requirements mean that the major is such that certain course work must be taken in the first two years of study as preparatory to the university course work. General requirements mean that the major is less specific and that all requirements can be met in the 56 credits required at the university after the 64 earned at a community college. The last pathway is TG/XR which means “Transfer Guide/Exceptional Requirements.” This pathway is for majors which are especially sequenced from the first semester of study through the completion of the bachelor’s degree which may require more credits than the usual 120. In general, when students take the courses listed in their transfer degree, they are following a pathway which prepares them for a particular university major. Two specific pathways, however, deserve particular attention: AA/GR Pathway: four semesters of second (foreign) language proficiency are required, unless a particular Arizona university transfer guide or list of bachelor’s degree requirements states otherwise. As stated above under STEP 4, students, counselors, and academic advisors should check the university transfer guide websites to be sure about the language requirement for particular majors. All AWC students in transfer degree programs need to check out the language proficiency requirement carefully. Universities are requiring second language proficiency for graduation in many majors; the University of Arizona, for example, requires two semesters of proficiency for all B.S. degrees and four semesters of proficiency for all B.A. degrees. See the section below for the language proficiency statement. TG/XR Pathway: students enrolled in a transfer degree with this pathway need to be aware that, because there is special sequencing from the first semester in these majors and since they have chosen to earn an associate’s degree first before transferring to a university, completion of university bachelor’s degree requirements may take longer as a result. For specific information about these majors, students need to work closely with their academic advisors and consult the university transfer guides and catalogs carefully. Language Proficiency Statement General AGEC Certificate Requirements Transfer degree students (those enrolled in A.A., A.Bus., or A.S. programs) need to be aware that a large majority of majors at Arizona’s three universities, (ASU, NAU, and U of A) require demonstrating proficiency in a second language at either the second or fourth semester level. AWC students may demonstrate this proficiency in the following ways: • Students must complete 35 credits of AGEC course work as specified in the certificate requirements. • A minimum grade of “C” is required for all courses in the AGEC certificate. • Residency—A minimum of 6 credits of course work • Conversational language courses (at AWC, numbered 114 through 120) do not fulfill the second language requirement. • College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Subject exams are available for French, German, and Spanish. See p. 13 for specific language passing score ranges at the 102 and 202 levels. • Modern Languages Division Examinations. Proficiency at the second semester level can be demonstrated by passing with a “C” grade the final exam in ASL, FRE, GER, or SPA 102. Arrangements for this option may be made by calling the Modern Languages Division at (928) 344-7524. General Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) Requirements A minimum of a “C” grade is required for all courses in the A.G.S. degree. Military credits may be placed into the general elective block of 15 credits, but students should discuss this strategy with an academic advisor or counselor about the transferability of such credits. General Occupational Degree (A.A.S.) Requirements A minimum of a “C” grade is required for all courses in the A.A.S. degree. Any planned departure from the outlined program must be approved by the student’s academic advisor and the chair of the division offering the program. General Occupational Certificate Requirements • A minimum grade of “C” is required for all courses specified in the certificate program. • Residency—Six credits of the certificate program must be taken in residence at AWC. General Education Values Statement Through general education, AWC commits faculty and students to the pursuit of wholeness in learning by providing a curriculum that focuses intensely on values and meaning, knowledge and understanding, imagination and creativity, reasoning and judgment, consciousness, and existence. General education challenges students to become aware of ambiguity and tolerant of cultural diversity while encouraging comprehensive literacy, including an understanding of symbol systems that educated people in contemporary society must possess. It enables students to see that education integrates and unifies knowledge. A responsive general education program requires thoughtful and precise writing, critical reading, quantitative thinking, and processes of analysis and synthesis which underlie reasoning. The accumulation of knowledge, together with independent thinking, can produce comprehensive understanding and reasoned values. Therefore, students must have a solid foundation in writing, reading, mathematics, and critical thinking. Differences in values can be viewed as constructive elements in learning when students attempt to perceive the problem from the perspective of those who disagree. Through the College’s general education, students examine the connecting links between various disciplines and the relationships among areas of knowledge. They discover both the ordering power and the potential limitations of the fundamental models of understanding that have shaped thinking throughout the history of civilization. General education acknowledges the dependence of thought upon these models and judges them through comparison with alternative models from other thinkers and cultures. Students should be familiar with basic skills and various branches of learning that can be useful in life beyond college and preparation for global citizenship. The ultimate goal of general education is to enable students to continue to participate with active, discerning commitment in the political, ethical, and aesthetic life of the community. Degrees & Certificates Course work. Proficiency at the second semester level can be demonstrated by earning a “C” in either ASL 102, FRE 102, GER 102, or SPA 102; proficiency at the fourth semester level can be demonstrated by earning a “C” in either ASL 202, FRE 202, GER 202, or SPA 202. must be completed at AWC before completion of an AGEC can be certified. 51 Degrees & Certificates Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) Effective January, 1999, the Arizona community colleges and universities have agreed upon a common structure for a transfer general education curriculum. This curriculum provides students attending any Arizona community college with the opportunity to build a general education curriculum that is transferable upon completion without loss of credit to another Arizona community college or university. This common agreement is called the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC). There are three forms of the AGEC: AGEC-A (Arts) for those students majoring in the arts, humanities, or the social and behavioral sciences, AGEC-B (Business) for those students majoring in business, and AGEC-S (Science) for those students majoring in the physical and biological sciences or in the health related professions. Each AGEC is a 35 credit lower division general education curriculum block that fulfills the lower division general education requirements at Arizona’s three universities. The general education subject areas include English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, physical and biological sciences, and options (the number of credits and specific courses for each subject area are listed in the following, “Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) Course List”). The mathematics requirement differs among the three forms of AGEC; and the AGEC-S requires a sequence of science courses in either biology, chemistry, or physics; otherwise, the requirements for the subject areas in the three AGECs are the same. Awareness Areas (C, G, or H) In addition to subject area requirements, the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is designed to contribute to the development of an international perspective, an appreciation and awareness of cultural diversity, and an understanding of current human events by study of the past. These awareness areas are embedded into subject area courses listed within the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC). Students must complete at least one course which advances ethnic/race/gender, that is, a cultural (C) awareness, and one course which advances global (G) or historical (H) awareness. 52 Arizona Western College 2005–2006 Catalog Intensive Writing(W)/Critical Inquiry The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) at AWC assumes the kind of intensive writing and critical inquiry skills which all undergraduate students should develop as a part of or as an extension of literacy—the ability to reason and communicate through the medium of language. Intensive writing involves the development of communicative competence in written discourse, while critical inquiry involves the gathering, interpretation, and evaluation of evidence. Intensive writing and critical inquiry must be sustained in the required Freshman Composition courses as well as in subject areas of the Arts and Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Physical and Biological Sciences, and Options. The prerequisite for courses meeting the intensive writing/critical inquiry component is ENG 101 eligibility or an appropriate reading score or permission of the instructor. Intensive writing/critical inquiry courses are identified by a W following the course title. All of the courses on the following AGEC list are writing intensive (W) except the mathematics courses and the 100 level language courses (ASL, FRE, GER, and SPA). AWC Learning Outcomes Assessment Program “Assessment is an ongoing process aimed at understanding and improving student learning. It involves making our expectations explicit and public; setting appropriate criteria and high standards for learning quality; systematically gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well performance matches those expectations and standards; and using the resulting information to document, explain, and improve performance. Assessment helps create a shared academic culture dedicated to assuring and improving the quality of higher education.”—AAHE Bulletin, November 1995. The outcomes assessment program at Arizona Western College is evolving and dynamic. It is based on shared values and goals of the stakeholders and provides grist for the improvement of learning, planning, and budgeting. Outcomes assessment is done in four categories: general education, degrees, certificates, and designated course clusters. Assessment tools are chosen, and performance standards are set. Assessment tools are used to gather information about learning. This information is used to determine what students know and can do. The student outcomes are measured against outcomes standards with the results indicating strong areas and areas that need improvement. Faculty use the results for curriculum planning and changes in learning activities to improve student learning. Degrees & Certificates A variety of assessment tools are used at Arizona Western College. Many assessment tools are embedded in the curriculum to minimize the time and effort required from students and faculty. Regular assignments may be evaluated to find out if learning outcomes are being achieved. Students may be asked to participate in surveys, interviews, or special testing. These do not affect the grades or status of individual students. The objective is to improve learning for all students. An initial step in an assessment program is to state broadly what graduates or completers should know and be able to do as a result of completing a program. These statements appear as “Program Purpose” in every degree and certificate program. In addition, all degree completers are assessed for competency in four general education outcomes: communication, critical thinking, quantitative analysis, and technological applications. 53 AWC Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) Course List A Freshman Composition B Mathematics English 101 Credits 6 English 102 C Arts and Humanities (select at least one course from the Arts list) A RT (ARH) MUSIC (MUS) THEATRE (THE) AND select at least LITERATURE (World) LITERATURE (National) PHILOSOPHY (PHI) R ELIGION (PHI) INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES R EGIONAL STUDIES 141, 142 Survey of World Art 1, 2 (H) 120 Music Appreciation (H) 101 Survey of Theatre History (H) 6–9 102 History of Contemporary Theatre (H) one course from the Humanities list ENG 190 Intro to Lit (C) ENG 241, 242 English (H) 101 Intro to Philosophy (H) 201 Comp World Religions (G) ENG 170 Literature of the Bible (H) PHI 257 Soc/Pol Philosophy (G) SPA 260 Mexican-American Lit (C) ENG 231, 232 World Lit (C) ENG 251, 252 American (H) 103 Intro to Logic (G) 240 Ancient Philosophy (H) ENG 185 Myths/Trad Narr (C) PHI 261 Philosophy and Film (C) ENG 180 Lit of the Am West (H) SPA 265 World His.

The students should study carefully and discuss with their advisors the following statement of policy promulgated by the Colleges of Business Administration in the three Arizona state universities regarding transfer credits from community colleges: Undergraduate programs in business administration in universities normally concentrate on the professional courses in the last two years of a four-year program. Only a limited amount of work in business courses is offered below the junior year. The objective of this policy is to permit the student to acquire a foundation of work in the basic arts and sciences as prerequisites for professional courses in business. All business programs accredited by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business require the student to take a minimum of 40 percent of the four-years’ work in the arts and sciences, including work in mathematics, social science, humanities, and the natural sciences. Students desiring a four-year degree are advised to take a majority of their work during the first two years in the arts and sciences, including a strong background in mathematics. BUA 220 Legal Environment of Business...................3 Degrees & Certificates Pathway: ABUS/GR Students planning to take their first two years’ work at a community college or at another four-year college should take only those courses in business that are offered as freshman or sophomore level courses at any of the three universities. Full lower division transfer credit will be granted for all courses equivalent to those specified for the freshman and sophomore years at any one of the three four-year state universities in Arizona. Professional business courses taught in the junior and senior years in the three state universities may not be completed for transfer credit at any community college. Courses taught as occupational or career classes at the community colleges, even though similar to professional courses offered at the junior and senior levels at the three universities, will not be accepted for credit toward a bachelor’s degree. A one-semester course in business law will be accepted as an exception to this policy. A maximum of 30 credits of business and economics courses from community colleges may be transferred toward a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
