*With the exception of auditing, once a student has select -ed a grading option for a course, the student will be bound tothat option after the free add/drop period.

Grades/Grade-Point AverageTo determine the grade-point average, divide the total num -

ber of grade points earned by the total number of credits forwhich a standard grade (A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, F) is



awarded. Skill building classes will not be counted toward col-lege GPA. Grade-points are awarded on the following basis:

Nebraska Transfer InitiativeThe Nebraska Transfer Initiative is a cooperative effort by

Nebraska’s public and private higher education institutions tofacilitate the transfer of students who have earned an Associateof Arts degree into baccalaureate-level programs.

This initiative provides a smooth transition with a minimumloss of time and credit when it is accepted by the baccalaureate-granting institutions in Nebraska. Effectively, through this ini -tiative, associate and baccalaureate-granting institutions areequal partners in providing the first two years of a baccalaureatedegree.



Essentially, any student who has successfully completedthe courses identified in the articulated Associate of Arts gener -al education core curriculum with an equivalent of a “C” (2.0 ona 4.0 scale) or higher, and is admitted in transfer to a participat -ing institution will be:1. Granted standing comparable to current students who have

completed the same number of equivalent credit coursestoward an associate/baccalaureate-level degree; and

2. Able to progress toward an associate/baccalaureate degreecompletion at a rate comparable to that of students whoentered the associate/baccalaureate institution as first-timefreshmen.In all cases the college advises the student to consider spe -

cific transfer institution requirements. Please contact a transferadviser and the institution to which you are transferring.

Nebraska Transfer InitiativeIn 1995, the Nebraska Transfer Agreement was signed

by the six Nebraska Community Colleges and 20 Nebraskatransfer institutions. The purpose of this agreement was tolist a common core curriculum in general education for anAssociate of Arts degree program and how these coursestransfer to the participat ing institutions. Note that the list isnot a comprehensive one list ing all courses which transfer orall transfer institutions. For a list of other courses which usu-ally transfer to a transfer institu tion, see pages 27-29 orcheck out Central Community College’s transfer web site atwww.cccneb.edu/transfer. Students must work in close con-tact with the transfer institution to make sure each coursetransfers into the program they choose.
