Institutional Membership History

Del Mar College was founded in 1935, under the control of the Board of Trustees of the Corpus Christi Independent School District, to provide two years of postsecondary education. In 1951, the College became an independent political subdivision, legally Corpus Christi Junior College District. In 1999, the Board of Regents adopted Del Mar College District as the official name of the institution. Del Mar College started in borrowed classrooms with 154 students in the first class. Today the College registers more than 22,000 persons each year in academic, occupational and noncredit courses. The College now offers programs on two primary campuses, one campus annex and a satellite Northwest Center with combined physical assets of more than $177 million.

Philosophy

Del Mar College is committed to the following concepts: Academic freedom and responsibility provide the foundation for the creation of a learning environment which promotes academic excellence, independent and creative thinking and respect for the individual. Lifelong learning is a process for self-development and self-realization by which 13

accreditation the individual assimilates knowledge, develops skill and competency and establishes values which enhance his or her understanding of career choices, quality of life and responsibilities of citizenship. All individuals have the right to pursue educational goals and should have the opportunity to realize the potential of their abilities through quality education. Involvement and interaction between the College and the community are essential to ensure relevance and vitality in all educational programs, activities and services and to enhance cultural, economic and social life. The College is committed to the concept of the learning college, an institution of higher education that focuses on student learning. Currently, important learning initiatives include the implementation of curricular learning communities, campus-wide incorporation of the latest in innovative instructional methodologies and technologies, definition and assessment of student mastery of the six intellectual competencies in the core curriculum and measurement of demonstrable student learning and student success in all courses and programs.

Mission

Open Door Admissions

Del Mar College has an open door admissions policy under the authority of the Texas Administrative Code Title 19 and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Limitations

Admission to the College does not guarantee your admission to all programs of the College. Certain programs have limited enrollment due to special equipment needs or space limitations. These admissions limitations are listed under specific programs in the Catalog. If you are a Texas resident and have academic course work that is over 10 years old and would like to request to have the work ignored for admissions purposes to a special admission program, you will need to contact the Registrars Office. You must complete the Right to an Academic Fresh Start Agreement with the Registrars Office prior to the deadline for applying to a special admissions program. In signing the agreement, you confirm that the course credit or grades earned by you 10 or more years prior to the date of the semester in which you plan to seek your enrollment will not be considered for admissions purposes and cannot apply towards your degree. The Right to an Academic Fresh Start does not change your transcript and cannot be used for financial aid purposes. Since Del Mar College has open admissions to the college, Academic Fresh Start is not applicable to admission to the college -- just to a special admissions program.

To be considered for aid eligibility, you must: Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen. Be registered with Selective Service (male, U.S. citizens and permanent residents, ages 18-26). Have demonstrated financial need as determined by your processed FAFSA and your school cost of attendance. Attend a school that takes part in one or more of the financial aid programs Have a high school diploma, GED (or its recognized equivalent) or have been home schooled Be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours) in an eligible program as approved by the Department of Education (in some cases, students may receive a Federal Pell Grant for less than half-time enrollment).

Not be in default on any Title IV Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Student Loan, Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (FPLUS), Federal Supplemental Loan to Students (FSLS) or any other Higher Education Act Loan Program received at any institution previously attended.

Application Process
FAFSA: First Step
To qualify for financial assistance, including loans and some scholarships, you must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This can be done one of three ways: 27

FINANCIAL AID 1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web, or 2. Obtain a printed FAFSA at Financial Aid Services at Del Mar College (due to high costs, these may be issued in a limited amount), or 3. Complete the FAFSA Renewal Application on the Web. The U.S. Department of Education has an electronic version of the FAFSA. By using this version, you may reduce the processing time of your application by two to three weeks. Applying on the Web allows you to complete the FAFSA over the Internet in an easy-to-use format. FAFSA on the Web/Renewal FAFSA on the Web can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The questions on the Web application will be listed differently than those on the paper application; therefore, it is important to complete a Pre-Application Worksheet instead of a paper FAFSA to guide you. You can print a copy of the Worksheet from Section I of the FAFSA on the Web home page at www.fafsa.ed.gov or pick up a copy from Financial Aid Services. The Renewal FAFSA is a tremendous time saver as responses from the prior cycles FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA are displayed, and you answer only those questions that are likely to have changed from the previous year. The online application procedure is also available in Spanish.

Electronic FAFSA

Personal Identification Number (PIN)

If you applied for the 2012-2013 school year, you will receive an electronic Personal Identification Number (PIN) from the Central Processing Center. This PIN serves as your electronic signature as well as enabling you to access your account information. If you are a dependent student, you must have one parent sign the signature page unless your parent has also obtained a PIN. For more information on the PIN, log on to www. pin.ed.gov.

Application Steps

Below are important steps that you need to follow to apply for financial aid. 1. Complete your FAFSA with your correct legal name as it appears on your Social Security Card. 2. Complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA using the actual figures from your 2012 Federal Income Tax Return, annual statements you receive from Social Security, TANF and/or Child Support, including any other documentation of other sources of income. Accuracy is very important when completing this step of the FAFSA, especially these items. Accuracy can be obtained by using the IRS data retrieval option in place of your Income Tax Return: a. Adjusted Gross income from the IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. b. Income tax paid from the IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. c. Income received from other sources, such as gift money from family, private sources, housing, food and other living allowances paid to members of the military, clergy and others (including cash payments and cash value of benefits). 28

FINANCIAL AID d. Household size should reflect only those family members who are being supported by the student or the students parents. (Do not include family members who do not fit the description found in the FAFSA instructions). e. Number of family members from the household who are in college (Do not include your parents). f. Cash and savings. g. Investment and other real estate net worth (Do not include the value of the house in which you or your family live). h. Dependent students income. 3. After completing the FAFSA online, submit the application electronically and either mail the signature page within 10-14 days or utilize the PIN which serves as an electronic signature. 4. About a week after filing your FAFSA electronically, you should receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail. If you provided an email address, the SAR will be emailed to you. If you listed Del Mar College on your FAFSA (code 003563) you are not required to bring the SAR to Financial Aid Services. Although we will receive an Electronic Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) with your information, you must still contact Financial Aid Services for any other missing information. 5. The U.S. Department of Education may select your application for a process called Verification. If this occurs, you will be required to submit at 2012 IRS tax transcript (if you did not use the IRS data retrieval option), a verification worksheet and any other income verification documents. 6. Academic transcripts of all college credits are needed. A copy of GED scores/certificate is also needed if applicable. High school graduates should have their transcripts on file at the Registrars Office. 7. Most of the forms are available on the E-Form section of the WebDMC portal. You may complete, sign and submit the forms electronically. Failure to complete any of these steps, or if any of the information is inaccurate or missing, may cause a delay in the processing of your file. In addition to these steps, you may request to schedule a personal interview with financial aid personnel.

Financial Aid Deadlines: Priority

Priority is given to you when you complete your financial aid file by the priority deadlines and show the greatest documented need. Priority deadlines are established to allow ample time for the processing of your file and timely delivery of funds to you. Applications for financial assistance are accepted after January 1 of each year for the following academic year. It is recommended that you apply at least two months before the priority deadline. Financial Aid Program Deadline Academic Year May 1 Spring Only October 1 Summer Sessions February 15 29

FINANCIAL AID If the scheduled deadline falls on a holiday or weekend, you have until the next business day to turn in your paperwork. All applications received after the priority deadline are awarded according to the availability of funds on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Protect your Financial Aid Dont lose it!

Federal regulations require educational institutions to review the academic progress of all students applying for student financial assistance. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) must be maintained in order to receive aid. A students academic process is evaluated after each long semester and summer term with the following standards as mandated by the federal regulations: 31

FINANCIAL AID Qualitative (Grades and Cumulative Grade Point Average) Quantitative (Maximum Time Frame for completion) This review will include all periods of the students enrollment, even those for which the student did not receive financial aid. Students are expected to be continuously aware of their grades. Del Mar College has adopted the following Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (be advised these standards apply to all financial aid programs unless the terms of a particular program indicate otherwise): Federal/State Regulations require students to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress at the time they receive financial assistance. All financial aid recipients must be enrolled in a program of study leading to an Associates degree or a certificate program. All course work attempted at Del Mar College will be evaluated, regardless of whether the student previously received assistance. All transfer course work, accepted for credit towards your program at Del Mar College, will be counted towards the maximum time frame. A students academic progress is evaluated after each long semester and at the end of the summer session. The evaluation includes all coursework attempted for the semester/sessions (withdrawals, incompletes and R grades will be included in determining the total number of hours for which the student enrolled). It also includes all periods of the students enrollment, even those for which the student did not receive financial aid. (Rapid Track semesters, mini-semesters and Maymesters will be included in the semester in which they began.) The Progress Standards required are shown below: Must successfully complete the number of hours/credits stated below: - Students enrolled for a full-time course load, 12 hours or more, will be required to pass a minimum of nine (9) semesters hours of the courses enrolled or - Students enrolled for three-quarter time, 9 to 11 hours, will be required to pass a minimum of six (6) semesters hours of the courses enrolled or - Students enrolled for half-time, 6 to 8 hours, will be required to pass six (6) hours of the courses enrolled or - Students who enroll for less than six (6) hours must complete all hours attempted and Must have a 2.0 or better GPA on the minimum numbers of hours required to pass. Must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA at the end of the fourth semester, including Summer Terms. Must complete a certificate/degree program within the maximum time frame of 150% of the published length of the educational program your current major. For example, if a student is pursuing a program (certificate/associate degree) requiring 64 credit hours, no financial consideration would be available after completing 96 credit hours, even if the student has not yet earned the certificate/associate degree and meets all other satisfactory academic progress standards. (64 X 150%=96)

DMC Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy

FINANCIAL AID Successful completion means a student has received a minimum grade of D. Grades of F, IP (in progress), W (withdrew) are not considered a completed courses.

Good Standing

Financial Aid Warning Financial aid warning is a caution that the student is jeopardizing future eligibility but can still receive financial aid. The first time the minimum standard is not met, the student will be placed on a financial aid warning. A cumulative 2.0 GPA must still be maintained for students who have attended four or more semesters, including summer sessions. Financial Aid Suspension Financial aid suspension is a cancellation/denial of awards or disbursements of financial aid. The second time the minimum standard is not achieved; the student will be placed on financial aid suspension. Students placed on academic suspension by the Registrars Office will automatically be placed on financial aid suspension. This financial aid status will continue should the student be granted permission to enroll after an academic suspension appeal. Students under this status must meet the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards in order to get back on financial aid. Students placed on enforced scholastic suspension the last time they were enrolled will be on financial aid suspension. Any student exceeding the maximum time frame of 150% of the program will be placed on financial aid suspension. A cumulative 2.0 GPA must still be maintained for students who have attended four semesters, including Summer Terms. Regaining Eligibility A student may regain eligibility for financial aid by: Paying for expenses related to enrollment from personal resources until the student has satisfied the minimum Standards of Academic Progress (SAP). Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled for six (6) or more hours must enroll for six (6) or more hours and meet the minimum requirements as stated above. Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled less than six (6) hours may enroll for less than six (6) hours and complete all hours with a 2.0 or better to remove the financial aid suspension status; however, their status will only improve to financial aid warning. Students who had extenuating circumstances for not maintaining SAP, may appeal the suspension status by filing a written appeal with Financial Aid Services within 10 business days from the date the email is sent to the student notifying them of the status. The time frame for filing an appeal will be strictly enforced.

Failure To Meet Standards

FINANCIAL AID

Consequences Of Withdrawing/Dropping

It is important that you consider very carefully the consequences of withdrawing/dropping or not attending all of your classes at Del Mar College; this can adversely impact your financial aid. Return of Title IV Funds applies to you if you have been awarded assistance from a federally funded loan or grant and have completely withdrawn (officially or unofficially) from Del Mar College or if you earn all non-passing grades and your instructor reports your last day of attendance before the official end of the semester the Department of Education considers you to have officially withdrawn. A Return of Title IV funds calculation is then performed.

Return of Title IV Funds

Calculation of Return

Federal aid is earned on a daily prorated basis up to and including the 60% point in the semester. After the 60% point, all aid is considered earned and no refunds/repayments are required. Your Return of Title IV Funds will be calculated accordingly: The percent earned is calculated by dividing the number of calendar days completed by the number of calendar days in the semester. The earned percentage received in federal assistance is the amount you are permitted to keep. The unearned percentage (remaining amount) must be returned to the federal government by both the College and you. This may cause you to owe both the College and the federal government. The percent Del Mar College must return, on your behalf, will be returned to the appropriate federal fund program. The Del Mar College Business Office will bill you for the amount owed to the College. Outstanding balances at the end of the term will be referred to a collection agency by the Del Mar College Business Office. The funds will be refunded to the Federal Funds Program in the following order, if applicable: 1. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan 2. Subsidized Federal Direct Student Loan 3. Plus Loan Program 4. Pell Grant Program 5. Federal SEOG You must repay the amount owed to the appropriate federal program within 45 days. After the 45th day, if payment is not received, your overpayment will be referred to the Department of Education for collections and to the National Student Loan Database. You must then make repayment arrangements with the Department of Education in order to maintain future eligibility for federal funds.

Instructional Support
1. Freshman Seminar

There are four specific types of instructional support. Freshman Seminar (FSEM 0101) helps you make a successful transition to college. The course covers topics vital to college success: getting organized, time management, goal setting, test taking, note taking and personal communication. In addition, you are introduced to the wide variety of resources on campus. You might need to enroll in developmental courses to build a strong academic foundation prior to enrolling in college-level courses. It takes determination on your part to postpone career plans while doing developmental work in English, mathematics or reading. However, these academic enrichment courses will establish the needed preparations prior to enrolling in college-level work. You should know that you pay tuition for these courses, the grades earned are reflected on your permanent transcript and, in most instances, these courses do not count toward a degree. However, through these classes, you develop good study habits, improve reading comprehension, increase ability to analyze and develop reasoning skills. This is what building an academic foundation is really all about. Your developmental course needs might be met by non-semester length developmental education interventions (NCBO) rather than semester length developmental education coursework. Check with the Chairperson of the appropriate department to see if you are qualified to take an NCBO. If you are enrolled in a historically difficult academic course, Supplemental Instruction (SI) provides regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated study sessions led by trained SI Leaders. If you regularly attend SI sessions, you will learn study strategies and refine learning skills which can help you earn higher course grades, stay enrolled and graduate.

Refund Formulas

The College refund and repayment policy is applicable if you attend traditional 16-week semesters. There are two refund formulas used at Del Mar College. 1. First Formula The first formula applies if you havent received financial aid. Fall and Spring Prior to first class day 100% During the first 15 class days 70% During the 16th - 20th class days 25% After 20th class day 0% Summer Prior to first class day 100% During the first five class days 70% During the sixth and seventh class days 25% After the seventh class day 0% 2. Second Formula The second formula applies if you have received financial aid and the refund is as mandated by the Higher Education Act Reauthorization of 1998. The formula provides a Return of Title IV aid if you received Federal Financial Aid in the form of a Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), FELP or Direct Student Loan, or Plus Loan. The amendment states that if you withdraw before completing at least 60% of the semester or earn all non-passing grades, you may have to pay back a portion of your federal funds. The percentage of the refund is equal to the number of days attended divided by the number of days in the semester. The first class day is defined as the day classes start at Del Mar College and not as the first day a student attends classes. The first class day is based on the Texas College and University System Common Calendar as determined by the state. Refer to the current semester credit class schedule for applicable first class date. A 100 percent refund is made for courses dropped prior to the first class day. If any portion of the refund amount is left after satisfying the federal Return of Title IV Aid, the remaining balance will be applied to Del Mar College funds, state programs and any other sources of financial assistance. Worksheets used to calculate the Return of Title IV funds are available at Financial Aid Services. For a detailed discussion, see Financial Aid Services section of the Catalog.

Distribution of Funds

No cash refunds will be made; all refunds will be issued via the DMC Debit Card. With the DMC Debit Card, refunds will be delivered in the manner the student selects at www.DMCDebitCard.com. Payments made by credit cards will be credited to the respective card account.

Rebate Opportunity

If you began a baccalaureate degree from a Texas general academic teaching institution in the Fall 1997 semester or later, you are eligible for a tuition rebate of $1,000. In general, this rebate opportunity is based on your attempting no more than three semester hours in excess of the minimum required to complete the baccalaureate degree. Complete information concerning this rebate is available from the College Business Office.

Summary

It costs to go to College, but it costs more not to. Think about it.

Academic Policies

Registrars Office

Academic Policies

The Registrars Office assists you with all matters pertaining to your student records at Del Mar College, most importantly the careful tracking of your grades. The Registrars Office maintains your official Del Mar College transcript and is charged with complete confidentiality abiding by all FERPA regulations. Additionally, they can provide you with free copies of your DMC transcript, assistance in dropping courses, changes in residency and applying for graduation. The Registrars Office can also assist you in evaluating your transfer coursework from another institution for the purpose of advising and registering at Del Mar College. (see credits earned for more information on completing a Transfer Evaluation Request Form (TERF). DEL MAR COLLEGE STUDENT RECORDS POLICY RELEASE OF STUDENT RECORDS All records submitted for a students file become the property of the College and a part of the students permanent record. High school transcripts, transcripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar documents are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution, including the student. STUDENT PRIVACY The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment) FERPA, sets forth the guidelines for the release of student records to other parties. Under this federal law, students have the right to inspect their records and correct any inaccuracies that might be found in them. Access to the record by anyone other than the student is limited and generally requires prior written consent by the student. The College will mail confidential records, including grades and transcripts, at the students direction. Any person who picks up sealed copies of these records for the student must have written, signed permission to do so from the student. Directory information, which includes a students name, address, date and place of birth, field of study, dates of attendance, and degrees and awards received, may be released by the College without consent of the student. Any student who wishes to withhold any or all of this directory information from release must notify the Registrar in writing within three weeks of the date of the students initial enrollment.

Academic Honesty

You are expected to maintain the integrity of the College by maintaining academic honesty for yourself and by expecting academic honesty from your fellow students. One of the requirements for passing the courses you take at Del Mar College is that you do your own work. Meeting this requirement means avoiding 56

Academic Policies plagiarism, collusion and cheating. Plagiarism occurs when a student takes anothers words or ideas and uses them as if they were the students own. This can happen in three ways: 1) A student copies anothers words without using quotation marks and without giving the source, 2) A student puts anothers ideas into the students words but does not give the source, and 3) A student duplicates anothers structure of thought or organization of ideas but does not give the source. Collusion occurs when someone else writes all or any part of a students paper. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, a student looking at anothers work or using unauthorized materials during a test or written assignment; or fabricating data, methodology, results, findings from those in an official document, publication, or research and claiming them to be authentic. To be classified as full-time, you must register for a minimum of 12 semester hours. To complete a program in two years, the degree/certificate plans in this Catalog suggest how many semester hours you must take each semester. According to the Texas Administrative Code, you should not carry more courses in any term than would equal more than one semester credit hour per week over the course of the term. For example, in the fall or spring semester, you should not enroll in more than 16 semester hours. In a six-week summer session, you should not enroll in more than six semester hours. Pre-requisites and co-requisites (also known as concurrent pre-requisites) are two kinds of entry requirements for particular courses. You must satisfy prerequisites, or their equivalent, before registering for a course. You must enroll in a co-requisite course at the same time you register in the other course. In most cases, you can register for the other course if you have already success fully completed the co-requisite. Pre-requisites and co-requisites are identified in the course descriptions at the back section of this catalog.

Course Load

Course Prerequisites And Co-Requisites

Auditing A Course

Permission to audit a course or courses may be granted by the Registrars Office if you are eligible for admission to the College and either already have credit in the course(s) or do not wish credit for the work. You may audit a course on a space-available basis and are required to pay the full tuition and fees at the time of registration. Tuition and fees for auditing are the same as those rates charged to students enrolled for credit. Since auditors are only observers, you may not under any circumstances claim credit for the course. Change from credit to audit status must be done before the 12th class day in the long session and before a proportional period of time in the summer and short sessions. Kinesiology Activity Courses (KINE 1100-1299, KINE 2100-2299 and DANC 1101-2154) may not be audited.

Grading System

At the end of each semester, the Registrars Office makes a record of the grades and credits awarded to you. Your grades may be accessed using WebDMC. 57

Academic Policies Grades are not mailed to you. At Del Mar College, grades are expressed in letters that are equated in points used in calculating the cumulative grade-point average. Del Mar College uses a four (4.0) point system of grading. Grades are given upon completion of a course. Grade reports are not mailed to you; you may access your grades through the WebDMC Web portal at delmar.edu/webdmc. Letter Grade Grade Points Per Semester Hour A (Excellent) 4.00 B (Good) 3.00 C (Fair) 2.00 D (Poor) 1.00 F (Failure/no credit given) 0.00 P/F (Pass/Fail) 0.00 I (Incomplete) 0.00 R (Repeated) 0.00 AU (Audit) 0.00 W (Withdrawal) 0.00

Grade Point Average

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated multiplying the semester-hour value of the course by the point value of the grade received. For example: 3 semester hours with a Bgrade = 9 grade points. To determine the grade point average, add up the grade points from all courses and divide by the total semester hours attempted. For example: 15 semester hours with 30 total grade points = 2.0 average. The semester hour, a unit of credit, means the amount of credit given for one classroom hour a week for 16 weeks or the equivalent. Laboratory work may add a semester hours credit to a course. When you do not complete a course because of illness or extenuating circumstances in any semester, the instructor may assign the I grade, signifying that your work is incomplete. The instructor will provide you and the department chair with: 1) a written reason for the assignment of an I grade, 2) a description of the work to satisfy course requirements, 3) a timeline for you to complete the work, and 4) a timeline for the instructor to submit a grade change form to the Registrar. The I grade will not be computed into the grade point average. If the I grade change is not completed at the end of the subsequent full-term semester (Fall or Spring), the I grade will automatically change to an F (for failing) in college-level classes, or R (for repeat) in developmental classes. Any exceptions to this timeline can be made only with the approval of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. If you have an I grade, you may not enroll in the same class in the next semester as a substitution for completing unfinished work on the I grade. However, if you receive a grade of F or R because you failed to complete the requirements for the removal of the I grade, you may re-enroll for the same course 58

Incomplete Grade (I)

Academic Policies again. If you repeat the course, the grade in the repeated grade will become the grade of record and will be calculated into the Grade Point Average. The F or R from the I grade that was not completed will remain on the transcript. When a course is incomplete because of official withdrawal, either by you or the instructor, the designation is a W, which is not computed in a grade point average.

Withdraw Grade (W)

Pass/Fail (P/F) Grade

Courses taken on a pass/fail basis do not earn grade points. All pass/fail grades will be entered on the transcript. If a student fails a pass/fail course, the attempted credits will be calculated in your attempted hours that determine grade point average. The Pass/Fail grade is assigned to RNSG clinical courses in the Nurse Education program and in the Court Reporting program to CRTR 2435 Accelerated Machine Shorthand (Web-based course only). Del Mar College offers a number of courses to prepare students for college credit work. They are required, based on placement test scores, for you if you need additional preparation in specific subjects in degree programs. Developmental courses do not count toward graduation or calculate into your semester or cumulative grade point average. In developmental courses the R grade is used to indicate that you have made some progress but are not ready for a more advanced course within the discipline. The grades of D and F are not used in developmental courses. The grade of R does not automatically convert to any other grade and is not used in computing grade point averages or academic status. If you receive the grade of R in a developmental course, you must reregister for that course or complete course requirements and make a grade of A, B, or C in order to: 1) receive credit for that developmental course and 2) to be eligible to register for a more advanced course in the discipline. Developmental courses in which the R grade may be used are: ENGL 0305, 0306, 0307 ESOL 0305, 0306, 0307, 0311, 0312, 0313, 0314, 0321, 0322, 0323, 0324, 0341, 0342, 0343, 0344, 0354 FSEM 0101 MATH 0370, 0371, 0373 READ 0305, 0306

Repeat Grade (R) For Developmental Courses

Repeating A Course And Grade Calculation

If you repeat a course, the last grade earned will become your official grade for the course and will be calculated into your grade point average and will count towards total credits earned. Your first grade will remain on your transcript of record; however, it will be removed from the calculation of your cumulative grade point average and the total credits earned. If you repeat a course for three or more times, you may be subject to paying higher tuition and fees. Since clinical laboratories in health science courses utilize interaction with hospital patients, failure by you (grade of F) due to unsafe practice in the clinical area is reason to deny readmission to a clinical course. If you earn a grade of D, you may apply for readmission to the department the following year. 59

Academic Policies The evaluation of academic work is the prerogative of the instructor and the rules for determining final course grade should be established by the instructor and provided to the students in an electronic or printed course syllabus at the beginning of the semester. A student who believes grounds exist for the appeal of a final grade must first consult with the instructor. If the appeal cannot be resolved, a student may proceed to the grade appeal process. The procedures described in this policy are available only for appeal of a semester or term grade based on one or more of the following reasons: 1. A mathematical error in calculation of the grade or clerical error in recording of the grade that remains uncorrected; 2. The assignment of a grade to a particular student by application of more exacting requirements than were applied to other students in the course; 3. The assignment of a grade to a particular student on some basis other than performance in the course; 4. The assignment of a grade by a substantial departure from the faculty members previously announced standards; 5. Extenuating circumstances such as illness, incapacity, or absences of the instructor generate uncertainty regarding appropriateness of the grade assigned. Grades given as a result of academic dishonesty cannot be appealed under the grade appeal procedure, but should be made under the provisions of the Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty B7.13.7. The procedures for submitting a grade appeal are available in the office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention.

Courses are numbered to indicate level of instruction. Freshman level courses are designated in the 1000 sequence, and sophomore level courses are designated in the 2000 sequence. Courses numbered less than 1000 are considered developmental and do not apply to certificate and degree requirements.

Adding Or Dropping Courses

You may add or drop a course (schedule changes) during the time specified in the Del Mar College class schedule and by completing the necessary forms required by the Registrars Office.

Adding or Dropping a Course (Schedule Changes)

Dropping an Individual Course with a Grade of W

The grade of W will be assigned to a course that you have dropped by the date stated in the class schedule. You are not eligible to receive a grade of W without completing the official paperwork by the deadline stated in the schedule of classes.

Six Drop Limit

If you are a first-time student who entered college in Fall 2007 or after, you cannot drop more than six courses, including any course you have dropped at another college in Texas, according to Senate Bill 1231. There are exceptions to this policy 60

Academic Policies if you can show good cause for dropping a course(s). For further information, contact the Registrars Office.

Implications for Financial Aid

You should be aware that dropping courses may affect your eligibility for financial aid. You should contact Financial Aid Services prior to dropping a course or completely withdrawing from school. If you stop attending class without officially withdrawing from the College, then the grade is an automatic F. Students receiving Veterans Benefits for education should contact Veterans Services for specific policies concerning drops and withdrawals. These changes may have a direct effect on your VA benefits. Students are responsible for attendance and are advised that excessive absences may adversely affect their grades or their continued enrollment in the course. Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of you. A record of attendance may be kept by instructors, beginning the first day of class. If attendance is unsatisfactory, the instructor retains the right to initiate an instructor withdrawal from class. If you desire readmission, you should contact your instructor to discuss the option of reinstatement. If you do not carry out that procedure, your withdrawal from the class is final. If you have been reinstated into a class and are absent again without excuse, the instructor may request your final dismissal from class. Certain absences are ruled valid and acceptable, such as participation in recognized student activities of the College or illness. Specific programs, such as health sciences, may have additional attendance requirements that are applicable to the students enrolled in the program. In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.911, the College will excuse you from attending classes or other required activities, including examinations, for the observance of a religious holy day, including travel for that purpose. If your absence is excused under this subsection, you may not be penalized for that absence and will be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment within a reasonable time after the absence. Religious holy day means a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under the Tax Code. Notifications of planned absences must be in writing and must be delivered by you, not later than the 15th day after the first day of the semester, either (a) personally to the instructor of each class, with receipt of the notification acknowledged and dated by the instructor or (b) by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the instructor of each class. If you decide to withdraw from all of your classes, you must complete a drop form that is available from the Registrars Office at any campus site. Failure to file a withdrawal form may result in grades of F for courses in progress.

Academic Policies

Administrative Withdrawal

The Administration may drop you for administrative reasons for reasonable cause. You may also be withdrawn for those incidents that may be related to violating the student code of conduct and in particular, disrupting the classroom and the educational process. Should you be subject to administrative withdrawal, the College will provide proper notification. You may seek the advice of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services about this procedure and any due process procedures that will be afforded. You may be withdrawn for issues related to academic integrity. Instructors with evidence of your plagiarism or other forms of cheating will follow the procedures outlined in A7.13.6.4 of the Board of Regents Policies and Procedures Manual, Penalties for Dishonest Behavior. A recommendation by the faculty member to suspend and/or dismiss you from the College for academic dishonesty must be submitted through the department chair to the academic dean. The appropriate academic dean will convene an Academic Ethics Committee prior to suspending/dismissing you to afford you due process. Instructors may withdraw you from class for lack of attendance or other academic reason.

Appeal of Administrative Withdrawal

If you are withdrawn from a class, you may Appeal to the instructor by first obtaining a Reinstatement Form from the Registrars Office and presenting it to the instructor. If satisfactory arrangements can be made between you and the instructor, readmissions to the class will be permitted upon the instructors completion of the Reinstatement Form. The completed form must be returned by you to the Registrars Office within 10 working days from the date of the drop by the instructor.

Scholastic Standing

Scholastic standing will be established once you have completed 12 college credit hours. Scholastic standing is determined at the end of each semester when an evaluation is made of your cumulative grade point average, which determines your academic standing. To be in good scholastic standing, you must maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA). It is important that you remain in good standing with the College. The grades posted on your transcript are a permanent record and will always be a part of your academic history. Grades can affect your eligibility for admissions to a specialized program, transferability to another university, or qualifications as an applicant for employment. If your cumulative grade point average falls below a 2.0, then the following applies

Probation

The first semester you have more than 12 college credit hours, but less than 30 semester credit hours and do not meet the minimum 2.0 GPA, you will be placed on probation. Probation means you can still enroll at the College but are not in good standing and should seek advising to determine a plan for successfully completing your coursework.

62

Academic Policies

Second Warning

If you are on probation and enroll and have not earned 30 semester hours, but still have not reached a minimum 2.0 overall GPA at the end of the semester, you will be placed on continued probation. Continued probation means that you can still enroll but are receiving a second warning. It is extremely important for you to seek advising.

Suspension

If you have earned 30 semester hours and are on probation or continued probation and do not make the minimum 2.0 overall GPA at the end of the semester, you will be placed on academic suspension. Academic suspension means that you are not eligible to enroll at the College without making an appeal to the Registrars Office. Specialized programs may have additional requirements.

Effect of Summer Enrollment on Academic Standing

If you are on scholastic suspension, you may enroll in the summer sessions as a means of raising your GPA to meet the cumulative 2.0 minimum without having to make an appeal for admission.

Suspension Appeals

If you are on scholastic suspension from Del Mar College or from any other college, you may complete a suspension appeals form at the Registrars Office to request permission to enroll. The appeal will be based on individual merit. It is your responsibility to initiate the request and set an appointment to meet with the Registrar.

Transfer Student Appeal for Admission

If you are transferring from another college or university on scholastic suspension, you may appeal for admission by contacting the Registrars Office.

Academic Recognition
Honors Program
The Honors Program offers several discipline-related honors plans, which provide intellectual stimulus and professional development, while awarding special recognition. Some plans provide a broad experience of inter-related study. Others emphasize intensive study of a single subject. The Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services coordinates the Honors Program. The Honors Program is not accepting new participants at this time. However, students currently enrolled in the Honors Program are eligible to continue their participation in the Program unless there is a break in semester enrollment at Del Mar College. For continuance in any honors plan, you must maintain the requirements of the program. Reasonable progression towards the completion of a plan, with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA, is required in the Program. Re-admittance in the Program is possible for extenuating circumstances.

Honors Courses

Honors courses are available to every student who has been admitted to the Honors Program and has met the prerequisites for the standard course and 63

Academic Policies the honors component. Most employers and university faculty equate honors credits with challenged, enriched study. Therefore, the honors component of any course must have amplified substance and elevated prerequisites beyond those of the standard course. Assessment levels of R3, E3, M3 are recommended for all honors courses.

Honors Program Learning Contract

To receive honors credit, you must enroll in a standard class and, after the semester starts, sign a learning contract with the instructor for the honors component of the course. Credit for honors will be awarded at semester end, after the course project grade of A or B has been registered and completion of the honors contract has been verified by the Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Service. An H indicates honors credit on transcripts.

Honors Designation on Diploma

If you have completed the requirements of your selected honors plan at the time of graduation and if you have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, you will receive special designation on your official transcript and a special seal on your diploma.

Honors List

If you are enrolled for and complete 6 or more semester hours of college-level course work and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or more on your semester grades, your name will be included on the Honors List. Developmental courses beginning with the number zero are not considered in Honors List calculations.

Presidents Honors List

If you are enrolled for and complete 6 or more semester hours of college-level course work and earn a grade point average of 4.0 on your semester grades, your name will be included on the Presidents List. Developmental courses beginning with the number zero are not considered in Honor List calculations.

Graduation with Honors List

If your cumulative GPA falls within one of the following ranges at the end of the semester prior to the commencement ceremony, you will be recognized at the commencement ceremony and the honors designation will be noted on your transcript. To graduate with honors, you must meet the following overall grade point average Cum Laude (with honor) Magna Cum Laude (with great honor) Summa Cum Laude (with highest honor) 3.7 to 3.799 3.8 to 3.899 3.9 to 4.000

Assessment and Placement

The College is committed to making sure that you are placed in the right classes so that you can succeed.
Assessment of basic skills, through testing, is essential because it helps you know your strengths and weaknesses. Specifically, you need to be tested for reading, writing and English, and mathematics skills to determine your readiness for college-credit courses prior to registration. This testing requirement is part of the Texas Success Initiative. Performance on tests will not be used as a condition of admission to the College. However, placement levels are used to determine which classes you can sign up for. All college-level courses at Del Mar College require specific assessment levels. Any assessment below Level III means that you need to enroll in developmental courses. An assessment level chart is found on the next page and in the Course Descriptions section of this Catalog to assist you and advisors in determining your placement in coursework.

2. Departmental Exams Each department chairperson sets the requirements to meet in order to take a departmental examination for credit. Generally, you are eligible to apply for this exam if you earned predominantly A grades in the subject in high school and scored exceptionally high on a nationally-recognized test and/or if you can demonstrate to the department chairperson significant and relevant experience in the subject area. Departmental exams will not be given for developmental courses, nor for any course in which you are presently enrolled. Arrangements for testing are made through the department chairpersons.

Evaluation Of Credentials For Credit

You may earn credit by departmental evaluation of your credentials when such learning can be documented as substantially equivalent to a Del Mar course. Credit will be accepted and applied from the following: Nontraditional transcripts (armed forces schools, real estate boards, American Institute of Banking, hospital schools, cosmetology schools) State or national board exams (Vocational Nurse Education, Registered Nurse Education, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Surgical Technology) Experience in business, military administration and industry High school programs or military training included in written articulation agreements with the College. 73

Policies And Procedures For Earning Credit


Policies

Its important to understand the policies and procedures for credit by exam and evaluation of credentials. 1. Only if you are currently enrolled or are a former Del Mar College student are you eligible to apply for credit. Informal evaluation will be done free of charge. 2. Credit by exam - College Board Advance Placement (AP), College Board Achievement Exam (SAT II), College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) will be accepted as credit only (CR) and will not affect your Grade Point Average (GPA). 3. Only an A or B grade receives credit for departmental exams. Grade points are given for a departmental exam and a footnote indicating that credit was obtained by examination will be indicated on your transcript. 4. Credit earned by evaluation of credentials will be determined by the pass/fail method. No grade other than CR, the number of credit hours, course number and title are recorded on your transcript. 5. Examinations offered at Del Mar College can be retaken only after six months have elapsed. Some departmental examinations cannot be retaken. 6. Credit by examination satisfies degree requirements in the same way as credit earned by passing courses, except that it cannot be used to satisfy the 25 percent of semester credit hours earned at Del Mar College, which is the residency requirement for graduation. 7. Credit may not be earned by examination for most performanceoriented courses, such as music ensembles, drama productions, dance performances, radio-television shows, speech competitions, physical activities, etc.

1. Obtain a petition to record credit in the Registrars Office or the appropriate academic department. 2. If necessary, have the petition signed by the department chairperson. 3. Pay the required fee at the Business Office. 4. Take the test or present documentation for evaluation. If credit is granted, the results will be forwarded by the department chairperson, to the dean and to the Registrars Office. You can get more detailed information about testing procedures from the Testing Office at the Multiservice Center or both the East and West Campus Student Enrollment Centers.

If you are an undeclared or liberal arts major, you are advised by the Student Enrollment Center. Advising is required prior to online registration if you have earned 24 credits or fewer. If you have more than 24 credits, you are still encouraged to meet with an advisor.

Appointments

You need to call the department of your major to schedule an advising appointment. See the following list of advisors telephone numbers. If you are using the Student Enrollment Center, walk-ins are welcome; no appointment is needed.

Your Responsibilities

Prior to the appointment, think about your goals and reflect on previous academic progress. If you are currently enrolled, you should consider how you are doing in your classes. Think about your other commitments (work, family, etc.) and how those impact your time. Then, you and your advisor can discuss how to turn goals into reality by following your degree plan. A copy of the degree plan, given to you, will show the specific courses needed. You are responsible for making sure that the courses selected meet degree requirements. Use the College Catalog to confirm which courses meet the requirements. Failure to obtain correct information will not exempt you from having to meet those requirements. You should bring a tentative list of classes you want to take to the advising appointment. Courses should be selected with attention to prerequisites and sequences. If you preregister for classes for which you lack the prerequisites, you can be dropped from those classes by the chairperson of the appropriate department in order to release those spaces to students who have satisfied the prerequisites. You will be protected from such removal only if you secure permission of the chairperson prior to registering. It is your responsibility to know specific transfer requirements of the college or university to which you plan to transfer. This responsibility includes knowing course requirements, number of credit hours accepted and grade-point average required for admission. Bring a copy of the catalog of your transfer institution to your advising appointment. You are expected to keep a copy of your degree plan, signed by both yourself and your advisor. Each time you meet with an advisor, you should bring your most recent degree plan for updating.

If you want to review your records, you may do so by requesting and presenting your photo ID in the Registrars Office. If, upon review, you desire to challenge any portion of your records, you should contact the Registrar for additional information. School officials, who act in your educational interest within the limitations of their need to know, have access to your records without your prior written consent. Rights You have certain rights under FERPA with respect to your education records. They are: 1. The right to inspect and review your education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access. You should submit to the registrar, dean, department chairperson, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) you wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

83

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY

Drug and Alcohol Policy

Del Mar College is committed to working to maintain a safe, healthy, lawful and productive working and educational environment for all employees and students. Studies have shown that use of illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol increases the potential for accidents, absenteeism, tardiness, unsatisfactory performance, inefficiency, poor employee morale and damage to the Colleges reputation. The intent of this policy is to make Del Mar College a better place to study and work through upgrading the mental and physical health of the total College community. It acknowledges the freedom of choice for those individuals who require or seek information relative to Drug/Alcohol Abuse. A. Definition of Legal Drugs A legal drug is a prescribed drug or over-the-counter drug which has been legally obtained and is being legally used for the purpose for which it was prescribed or manufactured. B. Definition of Illegal Drugs An illegal drug is any drug or controlled substance which is (l) not legally obtainable or (2) is legally obtainable but was not legally obtained. The term illegal drug includes all illegal drugs, dangerous drugs and controlled substances defined and listed in Articles 4476-14 and 4476-15 (Texas Controlled Substances Act) Vernons Texas Civil Statutes. Marijuana, hashish, cocaine, PCP, LSD, heroin, Dilaudid, Quaaludes, steroids and methamphetamine are only a few of the dangerous drugs or controlled substances which are included within such terms. This policy applies to all students and employees of Del Mar College, as well as College visitors, contractors and all other persons occupying space in/on conveyances, offices, buildings, facilities, or grounds over which Del Mar College has custody and control, including, but not limited to, rentals and leasing of auditorium and classroom spaces.

The student shall be responsible for any cost and/or fees incurred for professional services. Information concerning diagnosis, treatment and medical records will be kept strictly confidential. It is recognized that a persons job performance or academic studies may be affected by persons in the employees or students family who have alcohol, drug, or other emotional or behavioral problems. Therefore, the College will offer information services to these family members, but accepts no further responsibility. Use, distribution, or possession of alcoholic beverages, dangerous drugs, or controlled substances while on College property or at any authorized activity sponsored by or for any College-related organization, whether on or off campus, is subject to disciplinary action. 84

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY Del Mar College recognizes that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related conditions such as AIDS-Related Complex (ARC) pose significant issues in an academic setting. Because of the Colleges commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe campus environment, the AIDS policy and other procedures emphasize the education of employees and students concerning AIDS and the management of each case of AIDS individually with sensitivity, flexibility and concern for the affected individual as well as other employees and students. You may obtain educational pamphlets on AIDS at the Office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention, or the Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life and the Student Enrollment Center in the Harvin Student Center (East Campus) or the Coleman Center (West Campus). These pamphlets were developed by the Texas Department of Health. Del Mar College, in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of l974, shall not give specific or detailed information concerning complaints or diagnosis without the expressed written consent of the affected student or employee. You will not be denied enrollment or the right to attend classes or participate in College functions solely on the basis of diagnosis or suspicion of having HIV, AIDS, or ARC. If a physicians evaluation demonstrates that you are unable to perform academically or that continued attendance presents a health or safety risk to yourself or others, the administration will make a decision solely on such medical evaluation about continuation of enrollment. Meningitis Vaccination Requirement (SB 1107) Del Mar College is fully committed to providing our students with a safe and healthy learning environment in which to pursue their studies and attain their academic goals.

Students must download the DMC Meningitis extension waiver at www.delmar.edu/meningitis and submit this document to the DMC Student Enrollment Center if additional time is required for the student to submit proof of a meningitis vaccination. Meningitis Vaccination Exemptions Students, or the parent or guardian of a student, may also pursue a meningitis vaccination exemption based on either a medical exemption or a conscientious exemption. Students must download the DMC meningitis vaccination exemption form online at www.delmar.edu/meningitis and submit the required documentation to the DMC Student Enrollment Center as follows: 1. Medical reasons: A student must provide a signed certificate or affidavit from a physician duly registered and licensed to practice medicine in the United States that states the vaccination would be injurious to the students health and well-being. 2. Conscientious exemption: Students must provide an affidavit stating that the student declines the meningitis vaccination due to reasons of conscience, including a religious belief. For students 18 years and older, this document can be found on the Del Mar College website by visiting www.delmar.edu/meningitis and clicking on THECB Vaccination Exemption Form Due to Reasons of Conscience (THECB MCV4 Affidavit) and submitting this form to the Student Enrollment Center. Students younger than 18 years of age pursuing the conscientious exemption must complete a conscientious objection form from the Texas Department of State Health Services available at www.dshs.state.tx.us. Students who are required to utilize the Texas Department of State Health Services form are advised that it may take up to two weeks to receive the required form from the Texas Department of State Health Services. As such, students younger than 18 years of age who believe they may be eligible for a conscientious exemption, and who intend on pursuing the exemption, are strongly advised to request the form at the earliest possible date possible prior to the date by which proof of meningitis vaccination must be provided. Consultation with a Physician Students are advised of the importance of consulting with a physician about the need for the immunization against bacterial meningitis to prevent the disease. Additional Information For additional information please contact the Del Mar College Student Enrollment Center at (361) 698-1290, by email at enroll@delmar.edu or in person at the Student Enrollment Center located in Harvin Center Room 127.

Additional Immunizations Senate Bill 1517 (effective Fall 1991) gives Texas institutions of higher education the option of requiring you to prove that you have been adequately immunized for diphtheria, rubeola, rubella, mumps, tetanus and poliomyelitis prior to admission. The consequences of not being fully immunized are severe. An outbreak of any 87

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY of these diseases can have a devastating impact on the campus community. Immunization is an integral part of preventive health care.

Criminal background check This information is being provided to all college students in the state of Texas. Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast - so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is a treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities. What are the symptoms? High fever Rash or purple patches on skin Light sensitivity Confusion and sleepiness Lethargy Severe headache Vomiting Stiff neck Nausea Seizures There may be a rash of tiny, red-purple spots caused by bleeding under the skin. These can occur anywhere on the body. The more symptoms, the higher the risk, so when these symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention. 88

Bacterial Meningitis Information

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY How is bacterial meningitis diagnosed? Diagnosis is made by a medical provider and is usually based on a combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory results from spinal fluid and blood tests. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the likelihood of recovery. How is the disease transmitted? The disease is transmitted when people exchange saliva (such as by kissing, or by sharing drinking containers, utensils, cigarettes, toothbrushes, etc.) or come in contact with respiratory or throat secretions. How do you increase your risk of getting bacterial meningitis? Exposure to saliva by sharing cigarettes, water bottles, eating utensils, food, kissing, etc. Living in close conditions (such as sharing a room/suite in a dorm or group home). What are the possible consequences of the disease? Death (in 8 to 24 hours) Permanent brain damage Kidney failure Learning disability Hearing loss, blindness Limb damage (fingers, toes, arms, legs) that requires amputation Gangrene Coma Convulsions Can the disease be treated? Antibiotic treatment, if received early, can save lives and chances of recovery are increased. However permanent disability or death can still occur. Vaccinations are available and should be considered for: Those living in close quarters College students 29 years old or younger Vaccinations are effective against four of the five most common bacterial types that cause 70 percent of the disease in the U.S. (but does not protect against all types of meningitis). Vaccinations take seven to 10 days to become effective, with protection lasting three to five years. The cost of vaccine varies, so check with your health care provider. Vaccination is very safe - most common side effects are redness and minor pain at injection site for up to two days. Vaccination is available at your health care provider.

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY

Parking

Parking can be a challenge. This is true at other colleges as well. Del Mar College has developed regulations for the purposes of: proper identification of vehicles of persons who have legitimate business with the College, to ensure safety/notification of students/faculty and other persons in an emergency, to provide orderly parking, traffic and use of parking facilities, to provide for the purchase and issuance of vehicle identification permits, to ensure pedestrian safety, and to provide for enforcement in the event of violation. The operation of a motor vehicle on Del Mar College property is governed by College policies and regulations. The fact that a violation notice is not issued when a violation occurs does not imply that the regulation or rule is not in effect. Each operator is responsible for knowing and following the parking rules and regulations. Campus Security has been charged with the authority to enforce these regulations, including the right to tow vehicles for specific violations and repeat violators. The owner or operator of a towed vehicle is responsible for the cost of towing and storage fees in addition to any other fines. Proof that a parking or traffic control device, sign, signal, or marking was in place at any location on the campus shall constitute prima facie evidence that it was official and was installed under proper authority by College, city, state and federal guidelines. The College assumes no responsibility for any vehicle or its content while the vehicle is parked or operated on College property. All vehicle operators should lock or otherwise secure their vehicles when parked on any campus of Del Mar College. For the purpose of these parking and traffic regulations, the following terms are defined: Abandoned Vehicle - a motor vehicle, bicycle, or other conveyance parked on Del Mar College property for more than three days without being moved DMC - Del Mar College Campus - all property owned or controlled by Del Mar College College - Del Mar College Citation - Notification issued by a Corpus Christi police officer, which may be written to any vehicle found in violation of state law or city ordinances on DMC property Parking for Disabled Individuals - spaces or areas reserved for any disabled individual who has an appropriate (placard) hang tag or license plate from the County Tax Assessors Office Habitual Violator - any person who has received three or more violation notices within a twelve-month period Impound - towing and storage of vehicle at a towing facility 91

Definitions

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY Marked space - space defined by two parallel lines Motor Vehicle - all automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, motor scooters, motorbikes, mopeds, etc. Moving Violations - moving traffic law violations as enacted by the State of Texas No Parking Zones - all areas not specifically designated for parking, to include painted curbs, fire lanes, construction areas, loading zones, service delivery and bus zones. See Vehicle Identification Permits section. Parking Permit (Vehicle Identification Permit) - a temporary card or self-adhering decal issued by DMC, authorizing the motor vehicle properly displaying the permit to be lawfully parked within designated areas. The issuance and display of the permit serves as proper registration. Includes student permit, non-reserved permit and reserved permit. Reserved Parking - identified by signs and/or pavement markings; enforced at peak business hours of the day. New employees shall have the option of continuing the reserved space held by the former employee in that position so that performance of work in those offices requiring frequent trips between campuses and in the community may be facilitated. Restricted Parking - areas reserved for use by holders of designated permits Visitors - persons other than students, faculty members, staff members or employees of DMC Violation Notice - a notification issued by DMC Security for violations of parking and traffic regulations. These notifications are subject to College fines and a right of students to appeal within the College as defined in Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds section. VIP - Vehicle Identification Permit, including: student permit, non-reserved permit and reserved permit Registration of Vehicles All vehicles parked on campus at any time must display (on rear windshield, passenger side) a Vehicle Identification Permit except for vehicles belonging to visitors during registration periods or one-day visits. Students are not currently assessed a parking registration fee. The College retains the option to assess a parking registration fee for students in the future. Procurement of a Vehicle Identification Permit by students or employees with non-reserved parking does not guarantee a specified parking space. Each driver is responsible for finding a legal parking space. Inability to locate a parking space is not an excuse for violating parking regulations. A Vehicle Identification Permit will not be issued to any person having unpaid violation charges until full payment is made at the Business Office. A Vehicle Identification Permit may not be purchased for or displayed by an individual ineligible to receive the permit. The College may suspend for a period of one year the parking privileges of individuals who violate this regulation. Vehicle Identification Permits Any person attending Del Mar College who is not employed by the College is eligible for a student Vehicle Identification Permit. Student workers may receive only student Vehicle Identification Permit. 92

Parking Regulations

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY The process by which a student receives a Vehicle Identification Permit is as follows: 1. The student completes the appropriate College parking registration card. 2. The student submits the card to Campus Security. 3. Campus Security issues a Vehicle Identification Permit to the student.

Parking for Disabled Persons Del Mar College will follow state law regarding parking for disabled persons. Students, faculty and staff who have qualified and obtained a license plate or placard reflecting disability from the County Tax Assessors Office will be issued a non-reserved Vehicle Identification Permit. Those individuals may park in any parking space for disabled persons as long as their license plate reflects disabled status or their placard reflecting disability is hanging in their vehicle and clearly visible. Policy and Procedures All laws of the State of Texas, ordinances of the applicable municipality and rules and regulations of Del Mar College are in effect on the campuses 24 hours a day. The campus speed limit, on both the East and West Campus, is 10 miles per hour. Special temporary parking arrangements must be made through the Director of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management. Reserved spaces, whether by designated Reserved signs or reserved by Campus Security for special events, will be enforced. Traffic and Parking Notices Campus Security may issue two types of notification for violations of parking and traffic regulations. 1. Del Mar College Violation Notices - subject to College fines and a right of students to appeal within the College as defined in the Appeals of Violations or Impound Notices section. 2. Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) Citations - CCPD officers may write citations to any vehicle found in violation of state law or city ordinances on DMC property.

Enforcement

Penalties In addition to fees for parking or traffic violations, parking privileges may be suspended for a period of up to one year for habitual violators. The vehicles of habitual violators may also be towed without notice at the expense of the vehicle owner. Suspension of parking privileges will be decided by the Director of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management and/or the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention, after reviewing recommendations from Campus Security. A person in whose name an unpaid violation exists and no appeal is pending, shall be barred from enrollment in a subsequent semester until fines are paid. Transcripts and refunds shall also be withheld by the Business Office from any person in whose name an unpaid violation charge exists and no appeal is pending. In addition to the above-mentioned penalties, the Business Office will send a letter to students who receive a violation notice and no appeal is pending, to remind them to pay their fines. 93

95

STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds A Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) appointed by the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention helps assure fairness in the issuance of parking Violation Notices and vehicle impounds. The findings of the SJC are final. A person who receives a Violation Notice, or whose vehicle has been impounded, may request an appeal. The appeal is handled through the Student Government Association (SGA). If the Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) finds a vehicle was improperly impounded, the Violation Notice/Citation and towing/impounding expenses incurred by the individual whose vehicle was impounded will be reimbursed by the College. All requests for appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the issuance of the Violation Notice. The Violation Notice or a copy of the notice must be attached to the appeal form. A person who fails to file the request within this time period waives the right to appeal. Appeals for which ten-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester. The appeals committee may summon the individual who issued the Violation Notice or performed the vehicle impound if he/she is available to assist the committee. All appeals will be heard within 15 working days of the date an appeal is requested.

General Education and Core Curriculum Philosophy and Rationale


General Education Competencies
The General Education Competencies at Del Mar College inform the educational experiences of all Associate Degree Graduates. All graduates will be able to demonstrate the following competencies: Writing, Reading, Speaking, Critical Thinking and Computer Literacy:

General Education Requirements

Support for the development of these competencies is located in the curriculum requirements for successful completion of the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) and the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees. AA, AS, AAT The General Degree requirements for all transfer degrees at Del Mar College are prescribed by the core curriculum guidelines set forth by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Texas law requires that each public college and university identify and requires a core curriculum of at least 42 credits for its degrees designed to transfer. A student who completes 42-hour core curriculum at Del Mar College may transfer the block of courses to any other Texas public college. That college must count it for their core curriculum. The student will receive credit for each of the courses transferred. Only if the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has approved a larger core for the receiving institution can the student be required to take additional core curriculum courses. Students should consult with their advisors to ensure that the core curriculum courses they take are correct for their degree plan and for the major at the college or university to which they intend to transfer. The core curriculum supports the General Education Competencies of Del Mar College as it is structured to develop competencies in oral and written communication, reading comprehension and analysis, computer usage, critical thinking and mathematics. The core curriculum is further designed to give students breadth of knowledge in the liberal arts and to promote critical thinking skills that are fundamental to higher education. NOTE: Core courses that have a four digit course number beginning with a number 2 are sophomore-level courses except for MSCI 2371 and MSCI 2372.

Core Curriculum Intellectual Competencies, Perspectives, and Objectives For Component Areas

Core Curriculum Intellectual Competencies The core curriculum is predicated on the judgment that a series of basic intellectual competencies - reading, writing, speaking, listening, critical thinking, and computer literacy - are essential to the learning process in any discipline and thus should inform any core curriculum. Although students can be expected to come to college with some experience in exercising these competencies, they often need further instruction and practice to meet college standards and, later, to succeed in both their major field of academic study and their chosen career or profession. Reading: Reading at the college level means the ability to analyze and interpret a variety of printed materials - books, articles and documents. A core curriculum should offer students the opportunity to master both general methods of analyzing printed materials and specific methods for analyzing the subject matter of individual disciplines. Writing: Competency in writing is the ability to produce clear, correct, and coherent prose adapted to purpose, occasion and audience. Although correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation are each a sine qua non in any composition, they do not automatically ensure that the composition itself makes sense or that the writer has much of anything to say. Students need to be familiar with the writing process including how to discover a topic and how to develop and organize it, how to phrase it effectively for their audience. These abilities can be acquired 102

core curriculum only through practice and reflection. Speaking: Competence in speaking is the ability to communicate orally in clear, coherent, and persuasive language appropriate to purpose, occasion and audience. Developing this competency includes acquiring poise and developing control of the language through experience in making presentations to small groups, to large groups and through the media. Listening: Listening at the college level means the ability to analyze and interpret various forms of spoken communication. Critical Thinking: Critical thinking embraces methods for applying both qualitative and quantitative skills analytically and creatively to subject matter in order to evaluate arguments and to construct alternative strategies.

On the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees, there may be certain specializations in the department for which a package of courses is recommended. For many of these plans, students are assumed to have proficiency in algebra and trigonometry. If a deficiency exists in these areas, students are advised to take MATH 1314 - College Algebra, and MATH 1316 - Plane Trigonometry during the summer prior to fall enrollment in the first year. Course plans beginning with MATH 2413 require that students have prior credit in MATH 1314 and 1316 either by course work or proficiency examination. Students majoring in areas listed above in the Department of Natural Sciences should follow the suggested course plans to satisfy the Associate in Science degree requirements. Pre-physical therapy students should usually follow the Associate in Arts degree requirements. Some variation of these plans may be necessary to meet baccalaureate requirements at a particular college or university. Regardless of the area of specialization, the student who plans to transfer should examine the requirements of the college he or she plans to attend. Various 2+2 degree plans exist with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and other state institutions.

Division of Arts and Sciences

Department of Social Sciences


Geography History Political Science Psychology Social Work Sociology The curricula listed for the Division of Arts and Sciences are designed for the student pursuing the associate degree and/or transfer to a university. The Associate in Arts degree is offered in geography, history, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology. All students preparing for professional training in law should select an academic major from among those offered by the Department of Social Sciences, follow the suggested transfer plan for the associate degree, and plan to complete a baccalaureate degree in their major field. A broad liberal arts curriculum is the preferred preparation for law school. Such a broad liberal arts curriculum involves education for comprehension and written and oral expression in words, critical understanding of the human institutions and values with which the law deals, and creative power in thinking. Most law schools require that the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) be taken during the first semester of the senior year. For specific information, consult the catalog of the law school(s) under consideration.

DIVISION OF BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

Department of Allied Health Department of Business Administration Department of Computer Science, Engineering, and Advanced Technology Department of Dental and Imaging Technology Department of Human Sciences and Education Department of Industrial Education Department of Nurse Education Department of Public Safety Education Department of Technology Education
The primary function of the Division of Business, Professional and Technology Education is to provide programs of study leading to an Associate in Arts degree and/or transferability to a university, and to provide collegelevel occupational programs to meet the needs of students who wish to qualify for immediate employment upon graduation. Students who do plan to pursue the baccalaureate should consult an advisor concerning degree requirements of the university to which transfer is intended. A Certificate of Achievement is awarded to those students completing only the major requirements of an occupational curriculum. An Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to those students completing all courses listed in the degree curriculum of an occupational curriculum. Various 2+2 degree plans exist with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and other institutions. Enhanced Skills Certificates are available to those students completing all courses in the degree curriculum of the designated Associate Degrees and the course requirements of an Enhanced Skills Option. Since entrance requirements for these programs may vary, prospective students should check specific entrance requirements in the departmental sections. For further information not found in this catalog, students should contact advisors in the department or counselors in the Student Enrollment Center. 127

Division of Business, Professional and Technology Education Developmental courses may be required when educational background and/or test scores indicate a weakness in the basic skill subjects of English, mathematics, or reading.

Departments in the Health Sciences

Health sciences programs are organized into three Health Sciences Departments. Specific degree plan information is available by department. These programs are also responsible for closely related health sciences transfer degrees. The departments and their respective programs include:

Department of Allied Health Health Information Technology Program Medical Laboratory Technology Program Occupational Therapy Assistant Pharmacy Technology Program Physical Therapist Assistant Pre-Medical Technology (Transfer Plan) Respiratory Therapy Surgical Technology Department of dental and imaging technology Dental Assisting Dental Hygiene Diagnostic Medical Sonography Echocardiography Nuclear Medicine Radiologic Technology Department of NursE Education LVN-RN Bridge Track Pre-Nursing (Transfer Plan) Registered Nurse Education Vocational Nurse Education The certification programs in health sciences are designed: to provide educational opportunities to students who desire employment in health or health-related facilities upon attainment of a certificate; to provide students the opportunity to build upon their earned certificate and complete an Associate in Applied Science degree. The Associate in Applied Science degree programs in the health sciences are designed to provide educational opportunities to high school or General Education Development (GED) graduates who desire to enter health programs leading to the associate degree; to provide the first two years of education leading to the bachelors degree in health fields. If students intend to continue education at another institution, they should 128

Division of Business, Professional and Technology Education carefully relate these programs to those at the college to which they plan to transfer. Prospective students should consult with program advisor for specific information.

Accreditation and Approval

Programs are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as listed earlier in this catalog, and all are approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Community College and Technical Institutes Division. Specific programs are approved by the professional accrediting agency of each area; advisory committees and boards assist each department in curricula and standards. Because of the highly specialized nature of some of the programs, additional requirements to the general College entrance requirements have been established, and prospective students are asked to investigate the requirements for a particular program in that section of the catalog. Admission to the College does not automatically qualify the student for admission to the health sciences programs. All of the following requirements must be met, each one as soon as possible, before the student is accepted. The student must: take one or more of the following tests (depending on the department to which the student is seeking admission): THEA, ACT or SAT and/ or COMPASS, provide references, be a high school or GED graduate, supply Registrars Office with copies of high school and college transcripts. Applicants transferring from other institutions should submit an official transcript of their college records, a statement of conditions of dismissal or withdrawal, and a departmental application. The department chairperson evaluates transcripts, and any questions regarding courses must be submitted to, and approved by him or her. The associate degree programs are designed to be completed in a minimum of two years, including one or more summer sessions in some cases. The number of semester hours required varies from 62 to 72. Students should carefully examine requirements in specific programs. The certificate programs are designed so that students may transfer a specified number of semester hours to the degree program and complete 15 or more semester hours of required academic foundation for the associate degree. Students are required to purchase their own textbooks and uniforms. They are required to wear a uniform during specified periods of instruction as a means of developing good professional dress habits. 129

Liability

In accordance with clinical affiliation policies, all health sciences students are required to purchase professional liability insurance in order to continue their program of study. Students are responsible for their own health and accident insurance. Health sciences program grades are recorded as A (100-90); B (89-83); C (82-75); D (74-70); F (below 70) failing; and P (all RNSG clinical courses). A final grade of D or F in any course in the students major in the health sciences programs will automatically remove a student from eligibility to continue in that program until the unsatisfactory grades are removed. Removal can be done only by readmission to the program. A minimum grade of C is required for all health sciences students in all courses to remain in good standing in all health sciences programs. A student may be recommended for dismissal for failing grades, cheating, inappropriate behavior or attitude, or unsatisfactory clinical performance in any and all health sciences programs. An evaluation of unsatisfactory (unsafe) clinical performance will supersede any classroom grade and will, therefore, mean failure for the semester.

Also see: Fire Science The Emergency Medical Services Professions program is based upon the National Standard Curricula promulgated by the United States Department of Transportation as specified by the Texas Department of State Health Services and the current demands of the Emergency Medical Services industry for certification of persons at the Emergency Care Attendant, Emergency Medical TechnicianBasic, EMT-Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic levels. Additionally, the Emergency Medical Services Professions program offers an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree that meets the requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services for designation as a Licensed Paramedic. Paramedic coursework (either Certificate or Associate Degree level) is only begun in the Fall (for daytime classes) and the Spring (for evening classes). Students must apply to be accepted into either the day or evening paramedic programs. Students should contact the Emergency Medical Services Professions program office to begin the application process, to confirm due dates for applications, and to check on schedules. All applicants must meet the specific admission requirements of the EMS program, as well as those for a regularly enrolled student, including assessments. Clinical Rotations: Students in the program will perform clinical rotations at area hospitals and field internships with local Emergency Medical Services. Hospitals are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). JCAHO requires the following of all students in clinical rotations: current criminal history, drug screen (at most 30 days prior to beginning clinical rotations), Hepatitis B vaccination, TB testing, Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccination, and Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus (DPT) vaccination. Students are also required to purchase certain uniforms and equipment prior to beginning clinical rotations and field internships. Students should contact the program Clinical Coordinator for a complete listing of requirements and where JCAHO requirements can be met. Course Completion: Students who successfully complete the course(s) of study required by the Texas Department of State Health Services will be allowed to take the appropriate National Registry certification exam as developed by The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. NOTE: The Texas Department of State Health Services may not allow persons to test to receive certification or licensure if they have been convicted of certain crimes above the level of a Class C misdemeanor. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) arrests or convictions may preclude the candidate from certification, no matter the level of arrest or conviction. Students who have convictions of this nature 208

Emergency Medical Services should contact the program director prior to enrollment. Students planning to continue toward an AAS degree, or continue their education, should consult with an advisor concerning degree requirements of the program or college to which transfer is intended.

Sound Recording Technology

The Associate in Applied Science degree in Sound Recording Technology (SRT) prepares students for jobs that intersect the skills used in audio recording, live sound, film/video and post-production, music retail, and small business ownership. This includes the operation of equipment and software used in studio recording and mixing, live venue console operation and sound reinforcement systems, non-linear video editing, and skills needed to operate a personal business related to the aforementioned fields. Strong emphasis is placed on technical ability and knowledge, aural skills and listening, creative problem solving, and musical understanding. All SRT students must complete courses in music theory, piano, ear training, directed business electives and an applied instrument (or voice) in addition to the music technology specific classes. Students must pass all MUSI and MUSC classes with a C or better to advance to the next level or count as a prerequisite. The objectives for the Certificate in Sound Recording Business are more focused than the full AAS and the coursework is streamlined. The curriculum for the certificate directs the education of the student toward a small business ownership in music; primarily a project-oriented recording studio or for knowledge relevant for music retail.

The Department of Nurse Education offers multiple entry/exit (MEEP) programs. Students may enter the vocational nursing (VN) or associate in applied science degree (AAS) registered nursing program. The AAS nursing program requires completion of all 4 semesters (see AAS Nursing suggested occupational plan). The AAS students may also choose to take 2 VN courses and be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN at the end of the third semester prior to completion of the AAS nursing program. The VN program allows students to progress through the first 3 semesters of the AAS program courses without the requirement of completing all general education courses (see Certificate: Vocational Nurse suggested occupational plan). These students will be eligible to return after completing the general education courses and complete the fourth semester of the AAS nursing program. The LVN articulating from other programs may take the LVN to RN Bridge course (see LVN to RN occupational plan). These students may substitute RNSG 1327/1263 for RNSG 1413/1160, 1201, 1441/1261, 1412/2160. Upon successful completion of either the LVN to RN Bridge or the generic AAS program, graduates receive the Associate in Applied Science degree and are 268

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Course Numbering System

All Del Mar College courses are identified with letter abbreviations followed by a set of numbers. Courses are alphabetized in this catalog according to their abbreviations; see the Index of Courses in the back of this Catalog to locate a specific subject. The numbers in parentheses after the course title indicates the number of lecture hours, lab hours and credits respectively. For example, CHEM 2401, Quantitative Analysis (2-6-4) meets for two lecture hours and six lab hours a week in a regular semester and awards four semester hours of credit. Four-Digit Numbers Del Mar College has adopted the Texas Common Course Numbering System for most academic courses and the Workforce Education Course Numbering System for occupational and technical courses. These four-digit numbers were developed to simplify the process of transferring credits from Del Mar College to other Texas colleges and universities and to ensure the maximum credit possible for each transfer student. These numbers are approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. In the four-digit common course numbers the first digit usually indicates the level of the course: 0 - developmental, 1 - freshman and 2 - sophomore level. Some exceptions to this rule exist. (These courses will not count toward fulfilling the 18-hour sophomore requirement for graduation with an associate degree: MSCI 2371 and 2372) The second digit indicates the credit value in semester hours. The third and fourth digits are used to differentiate courses or as an indicator of course sequence. Assessment Levels The Del Mar College faculty has established specific Assessment Levels for every college-level course. These levels refer to diagnosed abilities in the basic skills of reading, writing and English, and mathematics. They are listed as prerequisite Assessment Levels at the end of most course descriptions. Using Biology 2428 as an example, R3, E3, M2 means this course requires the student to have reading and English Assessment Levels of 3 (college level), while mathematics assessment may be at level 2 (intermediate developmental level). Level 1 denotes basic developmental level. If no R, E, or M is listed, the assessment level defaults to Level 1. Students must meet the assessment levels shown for each course either by placement testing or by previous course work. Scores ACT and SAT scores more than five years old will not be used for course placement in English, reading, or math. Please refer to the Assessment Levels chart on the following page to see how scores are used. Texas Success Initiative (TSI) The purpose of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), mandated by the Texas High Education Coordinating Board is to grant institutions of higher education the flexibility and responsibility to improve individualized programs and ensure the success of students in higher education. All new students are required to take a placement test to determine if developmental courses are needed in reading, writing and English, or mathematics. 316
