HistoryCollege of the Mainland was a beckoning vision in the minds of com-munity leaders as far back as the early 1960s. The first concrete stepwas taken in October, 1966, when the College of the Mainland JuniorCollege District was formed. The area of the College District encom-passes 237 squarc miles and its boundaries are coterminous with thefive independent school districts of Dickinson, Hitchcock, LaMarque,Santa Fe and Texas City.

The second step toward realization of the "impossible dream" was takenon December 10,1966,when the voters of the College District approveda bond issues of $2,850,000 and supporting taxes for debt service andoperation. In quick succession, the Board of Trustees selected a presi-dent, hired faculty members,located temporary facilities and Collegeof the Mainland came into existence. The first class of 4'l'4 students en-rolled for classes in September,1967.

Students attended classes in temporary quarters until the first phase ofconstruction was completed on 120 acres bounded by Palmer Highwayand Amburn Road in Texas City. On February 27,1970, the collegemoved to its beautiful new campus which consisted of an Administra-tion Building, Learning Resources Center, Math-Science Building, Tech-

nical-Vocational Building and a Central Utilities Building.

On May 16,1970, the citizens of the |unior College District approved a

second bond issue of $4,750,000 and supporting taxes for operation and

10

debt service of the second phase of construction. The second buildingprogram included a Fine Arts Building, a Physical Education Complex,a Student Center, an increase of 100 percent in the Technical-Vocationalfacilities and 60 percent expansion of the Math-Science facilities. Thesecond construction phase was completed in September of 1972, fol-lowed by a print shop building and a firing range.

A 20,000 foot addition to the Technical-Vocational Building was com-pleted in the Fall of 1985. The expansion houses three computer labs,classrooms, offices and a Child Development Lab designed as a train-ing ground for students enrolled in the Child Development Program.In1991., two Industrial Education Buildings were completed to housetheAuto Mechanics Technology and Diesel Mechanics Technology Pro-grams. The well-equipped facilities added 25,335 square feet of build-ing space to the campus, for a grand total of 300,745 square feet.

In1999, a new 10,800 square foot Public Service Careers Building wasopened across the esplanade from the Fine Arts Building. The new fa-cility houses faculty offices, classrooms and labs for three major publicservice career fields-law enforcement, emergency medical services andfue protection.

Board of TrusteesThe seven-member Board of Trustees holds full legal and financial re-sponsibility for the college. It is empowered to formulate policy andphilosophy, employ a President and, on his recommendation, approvethe hiring of personnel.

Trustees are elected by the residents of the College District to serve six-year terms. The current trustees are: ]ames E. Butler, Eustorgio (Roy)R. Davila, Ralph E. Holm, Richard Kirkpatrick, Bennie Matthews andN. E. "Nick" Stepchinski.

Monthly meetings are held in the Board Room of the AdministrationBuilding. The meetings are posted on campus and local newspapers.The general public is cordially invited to attend. The President's officewould be happy to help you.

Enrollment incollege level courses is determined by scores on the ACT, SAI, appro-priate college transcripts, or scores on one of the tests that are taken(TASP or TASP-alternative) to satisfy TASP requirements. Scores areused to determine appropriate courses or areas where additional prepa-ration may be advised for the student. If a student's diagnostic scoresindicate a need for developmental courses, most of the curriculum isclosed to that student; therefore, it is important that the diagnostic mea-sures are taken seriously and that those with reading, writing and math-ematical deficiencies achieve basic skills as soon as possible.

Students transferring from a Texas State supported institution mustprovide an official transcript indicating that they have satisfied TASPenrollment requirements at a previously attended institution. TASP orTASP-alternative scores may be used to determine appropriate courses.

1. Graduation from an accredited high school.Verified utith a copy of either high school diploma or high school tran-script.

Grade of "W," "WP,' "I," and "R" will not be treated as completedcoursework and will be computed in the quantitative measure of satis-factory academic progress.

Grades of "A," "B/' "C/' "D,' "F" and "CR" will be treated as completedgrades and will be taken into consideration when calculating the num-ber of hours completed and the GPA. For repeated courses, only the high-est grade earned is included in the cumulative grade point averages,6utboth courses will remain as a part of the aggregate hours attempted.Financial Aid will not be provided for courses taken by audit, credithours eamed by placement tests nor for any non-credit coursework notleading to a certificate or degree.

Financial Aid Probation/Suspension /TerminationFollowing the first semester in which the standards of academic progressare not met, the student will be placed on probation for the next semes-ter.

The Grade "R"The grade of "R" is reserved for students enrolled in individualizedcourses when, at the end of an initial semester of enrollment, they havemet established conditions of progress and attendance yet require ad-ditional class time to complete the course. Students receiving "R" Gradesmust re-enroll in the course within a specified time, resume theirprogress and complete all course requirements before receiving credit.The "R" grade is not used in calculating grade point averages, but willremain on the student's transcript.

The grade of "R" is used in some developmental courses to denotecompletion of course but failure to pass course objectives. Students re-

ceiving "R" grades must re-enroll in the course and repeat course fromits beginning.

The "W" GradeStudents who officially withdraw from a course for any reason, on orbefore the date specified on the calendar in the College catalog, willreceive a"W." It is the student's responsibility to ensure that he/she isproperly withdrawn from a course. Ceasing to attend class does notofficially withdraw a student from a course.

Instructors may, at their discretion, withdraw a student due to lack ofattendance, inability to maintain the prescribed minimum rate ofprogress stated in the course guide, or for behavior detrimental to thelearning process of the student or class.

Students should make judicious use of class withdrawals; the Collegesets the expectation that students should earn credit in at least one-halfof the hours attempted. (See "scholastic Referral," p.126.)

The "WP" GradeAstudentwho decides to withdraw after registering must obtain a with-drawal form from the Admissions and Records Office. If the studentwithdraws before the 12th class day, there will be no record of his/herenrollment (see college calendar). If the student withdraws after the12th class day and before the date specified in the calendar, a"W" willappear on his/her record.

It is the student's responsibility to make the proper withdrawal fromclass (the student is not officially withdrawn simply by not attendingclasses).

If a student needs to withdraw after the "W" date shown in the catalogbecause of circumstances beyond control, he/she should confer withthe instructor to determine if the student meets the requirements of anWP" grade (satisfactory progress in the course is one of the require-ments). The "WP" grade may be placed on the student's permanentrecord.

If the student withdraws after the "W" date in the catalog without meet-ing the course objectives, the grade of record is "F."

Instructors may, at their discretion, withdraw a student due to lack ofattendance, inability to maintain the minimum rate of progress statedin the course guide or for behavior detrimental to the learning progressof the student and the class.

Grades in Remedial ClassesStudents will receive grades in remedial courses; however, the gradeswill not be used to compute GPA. Remedial courses are designated inthe Course Description section of the catalog by the following words:this course will not transfer.

Grades in Repeated CoursesWhen a course has been attempted more than once, only the highestgrade received for that course will be used to comPute the cumulativeGPA. The lower grade will remain on the transcript but will not be usedto compute the cumulative GPA.

Grade AppealAppeals about grades should be submitted to the College Ombudsman'Students are encouraged to use informal means to resolve issues re-garding grades; however, students have the right to Pursue a formalappeal process. The procedure and policy are outlined in the StudentHandbook. Copies of the College Policy are available through the Om-budsman.

In the event instructor of record is inaccessible or no longeremployed by the College, the team to which the instructor is assignedmay have the grade changed.
