Bergen Community College is a comprehensive,

publicly supported two-year college that is fully

accredited by the Commission on Higher Education

of the Middle States Association of Colleges and

Schools. Through its open admissions policy, the

College is committed to equal educational

opportunities for all.

The instructional programs are designed to prepare

students for transfer to four-year colleges and

universities, or for immediate entry into a career.

There are also non-credit courses offered for those

seeking personal enrichment or improvement

of specific skills.

The College receives funding from the Bergen

County Board of Chosen Freeholders and from the

State of New Jersey. This support makes it possible

to maintain high-quality facilities and programs

while charging relatively low tuition and fees.

G e n e r a l I n f o rm a t i o n

HistoryThe emergence of Bergen Community College as the county’sfirst public two-year institution of higher learning was due to thedetermined efforts of many people to expand the range of stateand county educational facilities and services.

On April 3, 1963, the Bergen County Board of ChosenFreeholders passed a resolution appointing a committee of dis-tinguished citizens charged with the responsibility of inquiringinto the needs for a two-year county college in Bergen County.

In October 1963, the “County College Study Committee” sub-mitted its final report which stated: “The subcommittee of thecounty college study committee concludes that there is an imme-diate need for a two-year public county college in BergenCounty.”

On April 7, 1965, the Bergen County Board of ChosenFreeholders submitted a petition to the State Board of Educationrequesting permission to establish a county college in BergenCounty and requesting that the Commissioner of Education con-duct an independent study to determine the higher educationneeds of Bergen County and the ability of the county to supportthe proposed college.

The conclusion of this independent study by the New JerseyState Commissioner of Education, described in the September1965 report to the State Board of Education (pursuant toN.J.S.A. 18:22-101), was essentially that there was sufficientand reliable evidence of the need for a county college in BergenCounty and that the county was financially able to construct andoperate the proposed college.

On October 20, 1965, the Bergen County Board of ChosenFreeholders passed the necessary resolutions to establish, oper-ate, and provide financial support for a county college in BergenCounty.

On November 3, 1965, a public meeting was held, and theFreeholders passed the following resolution: “I move that theResolution establishing the County College, which was approvedon first reading at a meeting of the Board of Chosen Freeholdersheld on October 20, 1965, be finally adopted, and that the clerkof the Board publish the same in The Record together with state-ment of its final passage as required by law.”

The College was projected to fulfill immediate and long-rangeeducational needs of the citizens of the community. The 167-acresite of the Orchard Hills County Club in Paramus was selectedfor the home of Bergen Community College.

Dr. Sidney Silverman was named as the first president of theCollege and consultant to the Board of Trustees in August 1966.He served as president from February 1, 1967, until his retire-ment on June 30, 1977. Dr. Alban E. Reid was appointed as thesecond president of Bergen Community College on July 1, 1977.

Dr. Jose Lopez-Isa became the third president on July 1, 1982.Dr. Judith K. Winn became the fourth president on July 1, 1995.

The College registered its first class of day and evening studentsin September 1968, in interim buildings designed to accommo-date more than 1,300 full-time students. Construction of thePhase I campus was begun in 1969 on the 167-acre site inParamus.

The Master Plan, approved by the Board of Trustees on July 19, 1967, called for two phases of construction. Phase I,completed in 1973, cost about 21 million dollars and totaled430,000 square feet. The College has since expanded its facili-ties to include additional classrooms, laboratories and libraryspace, a theatre arts laboratory, and a student center.

New Jersey Full-Faith-and-Credit PolicyIn 1973, the New Jersey Board of Higher Education adopted aFull-Faith-and-Credit policy in an effort to improve articulationbetween community and state colleges and to remove any artificialbarriers to transfer for community college graduates. The intentionof this policy was to permit county college graduates with an A Aor AS degree to enter state colleges as full juniors. With the July 1,1994, dissolution of the Department of Higher Education, the Full-Faith-and-Credit policy is no longer a written guideline. However,the Commission charged with overseeing higher education in NewJersey is committed to the intent of this policy, and it is expectedthat community college credits and transfer degrees will continueto be treated as before. The policy allows individuals who earn A Aand AS degrees at New Jersey community colleges to receive fullcredit at the state colleges for their general education courses butdoes not preclude the state colleges from requiring additional gen-eral education work. The Full-Faith-and-Credit policy applies toNew Jersey community colleges and New Jersey state colleges,including Thomas Edison State College. It does not apply toRutgers University or New Jersey Institute of Te c h n o l o g y, althougheach is encouraged to adopt the policy.

Transfer Articulation Agre e m e n t sTransfer Articulation Agreements with four-year institutions havebeen developed for graduates of many Bergen Community Collegeprograms. ADual Admissions Program in Business and Liberal A r t sand Sciences has been established with Montclair State University.B e rgen Community College has also entered into a joint transferpartnership with the New Jersey Institute of Technology toward theBachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Engineering,Management and Computer Science. Copies of Transfer A r t i c u l a t i o nand Dual Admission Agreements are available in the Counseling andAdvisement Center, Room A - 118, and in the College Library.

D e g ree Pathways Pro g r a mAfter earning an associate degree at Bergen Community College,students may continue to earn 20 additional credits at Bergen, andapply those credits toward a Thomas Edison State Collegeb a c h e l o r’s degree. The remaining bachelor’s degree requirementscan be completed through Thomas Edison State College distancelearning courses, either at home or by using Bergen CommunityCollege facilities. Distance Learning courses are online courses, e-mail courses, Interactive Television Video courses, and telecourses.

Tr a n s f e r C o u n s e l i n gFor assistance with the college selection process, students areencouraged to speak with a transfer counselor. Appointments maybe made in the Counseling Center. Information and referencematerials are provided in the Transfer Library and in the SidneySilverman Library. Transfer Information Sessions are heldthroughout the semester. Applications for most local colleges maybe obtained in Room A - 118. Representatives from New Jersey andout-of-state colleges visit the campus throughout the year.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTSAccording to regulations of the State of New Jersey (N.J.A.C.9A:5), tuition charges are determined by the student’s permanentplace of residency, or domicile. Aresidence established solely forthe purpose of attending a particular college cannot be defined as ap e r s o n ’s true, permanent domicile (home). To be considered a resi-dent of the State, a student must have resided in New Jersey for aperiod of 12 months before enrolling at a public college in thisState. To be considered a resident of Bergen County, a studentmust be a State resident as defined above, and must show proof ofhaving a permanent residence in the County. The Office ofRegistration & Student Information Services of Berg e nCommunity College must make a determination of the residencystatus of students, and, as such, reserves the right to require stu-dents to show proof of residency prior to enrolling.

When Do You Prove Residency?Residency should be proven at registration or prior to the start ofthe semester/session. If residency is not proven, you will becharged at the out-of-county or out-of state rate. Once thesemester/session has begun, proof of residency can be submittedfor the subsequent semester session; however, tuition chargeswill not be adjusted for the current term.

How Do You Prove Residency?U.S. citizens or permanent residents should submit to the Officeof Registration & Student Information Services:

One of the following in your name:• A copy of your valid Driver’s License/Permit• A recent Tax, Water or Utility Bill• A copy of a current Lease or Deed•A Bergen County ID Card (can be obtained at the County

Clerk’s Office in Hackensack, One Bergen Plaza Room 122(201) 336-7000

If you are an independent student: A copy of your current andprevious year’s New Jersey 1040 Income Tax form

ORIf you are a dependent student: A copy of your parents’orlegal guardian’s current and previous year’s New Jersey 1040Income Tax form.

All students on non-immigrant visas are charged at a non-immi-grant visa rate which is equivalent to the out-of-county rate. Allstudents will be asked to submit evidence of residency.

Out-of-CountyOut-of-county residents may pay in-county rates if they present acompleted out-of-county chargeback with their tuition payment.The forms and instructions for a chargeback are available at theBursar’s Office (A-229) and at the Admissions & RecruitmentOffice (A-129). Depending upon home county requirements, anew chargeback will be needed for each academic year, or insome cases, for each semester.

Education Tax Credits Available to Federal Tax FilersBoth the Hope and Lifetime Learning Tax Credits—which directlyreduce the amount of federal income tax owed—are targeted tohelp working and middle income families.

Following are guidelines on what the tax credits cover, who quali-fies, and IRS sources to contact for information.

A Hope Tax Cre d i t of up to $1,500 can be claimed for each of thefirst two years of college or vocational school for each eligible stu-dent in a family. The student must be enrolled at least halftime atan eligible educational institution and not have completed his orher first two years of study. The credit is 100 percent of the first$1,000 of payments for qualified tuition and fees and 50 percent ofthe second $1,000. The goal of Hope is to make it possible for allAmericans to afford the cost of the first two years of a college edu-cation. In most states, the Hope credit will cover the tuition andfees of a community college education. There is no limit on thenumber of eligible students who can claim a Hope credit in ahousehold in any given year.

E x a m p l e : Amarried couple with an adjusted gross income of$60,000 with two children in college at least half time—one afreshman at a community college with a tuition of $2,000 and theother a sophomore at a private college with tuition of $11 , 0 0 0 .Using the Hope Scholarship Tax Credit, this couple can cut theirtaxes by $3,000.

The Lifetime Learning Tax Cre d i t picks up where Hope leaveso ff and is available to vocational, college, graduate and profession-al students; adults who want to upgrade their job skills or acquirenew ones or pursue another course of study; and even to studentstaking a single course as long as it is job related. Filers can claim aLifetime Learning Credit up to $1,000—20 percent of the first$5,000 paid in qualified tuition and fees. Ataxpayer can claim onlyone Lifetime Learning credit per tax year for the aggregate amountof the qualified tuition and fees of those students in the family forwhom no Hope credit is claimed. There is no limit, however, onthe number of years a taxpayer may claim the Lifetime Learningtax credit.

E x a m p l e s : Ahomemaker in a family with adjusted gross incomeof $70,000 enrolls in a graduate teacher training program at a pub-lic university—tuition $3,500. Using the Lifetime Learning Credit,her family's income taxes are cut by $700. Or a married automechanic with family income of $32,000 goes back to school totake some computer courses to improve job skills. The tuition is$1,200—the tax savings, $240.

Both tax credits are phased out for joint filers who have between$80,000 and $100,000 of adjusted gross income, and for single fil-ers who have between $40,000 and $50,000 of adjusted grossi n c o m e .

Taxpayers cannot claim both credits for the same student in onetax year, even if the student is a sophomore at the beginning ofthe tax year and a junior in the second half of the tax year.Families will be able to claim the Lifetime Learning tax creditfor some members of their family and the Hope tax credit forothers who qualify in the same tax year. Qualified expenses cov-ered by the tax credits are tuition and required fees, less anygrants and scholarships that are received tax free. Room, board,books and supplies are not covered.To take advantage of the Hope and Lifetime Learning TaxCredits; taxpayers must complete and submit IRS form 8863with their federal tax return. For more information, call the IRSHelp Line at 1-800-829-1040, read IRS publication 970 or visitthe Treasury Department's Web site at www.irs.gov.

A c a d e m i c Policies & RegulationsACADEMIC RECORDSThe Office of Registration & Student Information Servicesissues an academic record of each student. Students receive spe-cific and cumulative reports of their achievement and status atthe end of each semester or session.

Verification or Certification of Student StatusVerification or certification of student enrollment status can bedone only with the student’s signed consent. Verification or cer-tification can be requested at the Service Window (A-129) ofRegistration & Student Information Services by filling out aVerification Authorization form, or by mailing or faxing arequest to Registration & Student Information Services contain-ing the student’s signed consent. The process usually takes aboutthree to five working days, except during in-person registrationperiods, when there may be some delay. Documents requiringthe College Seal cannot be returned to the student, they must bemailed directly to the requesting agency or organization.

GRADING Students are responsible for their own academic progress andstanding, for preparing and participating in those classes inwhich they are enrolled, and for attaining the best possiblerecord. The instructors assign a grade based on a composite ofcourse elements which represents an evaluation of performance,scholarship, and competence of the student.

Mid-Semester GradesAt the mid-semester point, students may confer with theirinstructors regarding their academic performance. Formal mid-semester grades are not issued.

Final GradesFinal grades are assigned by instructors at the end of eachsemester or session. The Office of Registration & StudentInformation Services will issue an academic report reflectingeach student’s final grade.

Incomplete GradesThe grade “INC” (incomplete) indicates that a portion of requiredcourse work has not been completed and evaluated by the end ofthe semester due to unforeseen, but fully justified reasons, and thatthere is still a possibility of earning credit. It is the responsibilityof the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor andto reach agreement on the means by which the remaining courserequirements will be satisfied. The instructor may not issue the“INC” grade unless it is requested by the student and the condi-tions for resolving the incomplete are agreed upon in a contract,

with the exception of missing the final exam due to an emerg e n c y.All grades of “INC” that are not resolved by the deadline in theacademic calendar will be converted to grades of “F. ”

A student is not eligible to receive a degree until outstanding“INC” grades are resolved either by completion with a passinggrade or by acceptance of an “F” (failing) grade. At that time asupplemental graduation check will be done by the Office ofRegistration & Student Information Services and the degreeawarded if appropriate.

Repeating of Courses1. A student shall have the option to repeat once any course in

which a grade of D, C, C+, B or B+ was earned, after theSummer 1975 Session, and only the higher earned grade shallbe computed in the grade point average. The lower grade willbe marked with an “R” and will be excluded from the gradepoint average (GPA) calculation.

2. A student shall have the option to repeat an “F” or “E” gradeearned after the Summer 1975 Session once. If the studentfails to complete the course after two attempts,the student mayappeal, in writing, to the appropriate divisional dean, statingany extenuating circumstances which should be considered,for permission to repeat the course again. If the student suc-cessfully repeats a course the higher grade shall be computedin the grade point average. The “F” or “E” grade will bemarked with an “R” and will be excluded from the GPA cal-culation. Note: A student who does not successfully completea course after two attempts may be unable to complete adegree program. Permission to repeat is not automatic.

3. It is understood that a student who earns a “D” grade in a givencourse generally shall be able to pursue the next higher course.Exceptions should be noted for all Allied Health courses and forselected courses as noted in individual course descriptions.

4. A student may not repeat a course in which a grade of “A,”“CBE” (credit by exam), “TR” (transfer credit) or “INC”(incomplete) was received.

Forgiveness PolicyAfter ten years of continuous non-attendance, students mayappeal through the Academic Standing Committee for a forgive-ness of grades. If students meet the following requirements, theirprevious grades will be marked with an “@” and will be exclud-ed from the GPA calculation. • Complete at least 12 college-level credits at Bergen

Community College.• Have a minimum of 2.75 GPAin these new college-level courses.• This policy does not exempt students from basic skills require-

ments.

27

Course Grade Appeal Policy1. A student raising a complaint or concern about a course grade

should discuss the matter with the individual faculty memberno later than the first two weeks of the semester immediatelyfollowing receipt of the grade.

2. If the grade appeal is not resolved, the student should bringthe matter to the appropriate department head within twoweeks of discussion with the instructor.

3. The department head will investigate the appeal and attemptto resolve the matter as expeditiously as possible. The depart-ment head will notify the student either in writing, or orally ofthe result.

4. If the appeal is not resolved, the student should put the appealin writing, attaching copies of any supporting information andsend it to the appropriate divisional dean within two weeks ofhearing from the department head.

5. The divisional dean may consult other faculty in the disciplineand the department head and may choose to meet with the stu-dent. The dean will notify the student in writing of the resolu-tion. Grade appeals are sometimes a lengthy process and maytake several weeks to resolve at this stage. Every effort will bemade to notify the student within one month.

6. After receipt of the dean’s written response, a student maycontinue the appeal process by writing to the Academic VicePresident. The student should attach copies of all previouscorrespondence regarding the appeal and copies of supportingdocumentation.

7. The Academic Vice President will consult all parties involvedin the appeal process and may choose to meet with the stu-dent. Grade appeals may also take several weeks to resolve atthis stage.

8. The Academic Vice President will notify the student in writ-ing of the results of the appeal. Every effort will be made tonotify the student within one month.

AUDITING CLASSESStudents who wish to take courses with the understanding thatthey will not receive grade or credit for them may do so as auditors.• An application for audit status must be obtained from the

Office of Registration & Student Information Services.• Auditors are subject to the same tuition and fee structure as

credit students.• Once enrolled as an auditor, a student may not change to credit

status, nor may a student who is enrolled for credit change toaudit, unless such a change is requested prior to the end of thethird week of instruction.

• The “AU” grade will be recorded on college transcripts for anaudited course. This is an administratively assigned gradewhich indicates a student has purchased a seat for a particularclass. It does not denote mastery of subject material.

• Audited courses do not satisfy prerequisites, or count towardsthe student’s load for financial aid or sports eligibility purposes.

Grades of A, INC, TR, and CBE cannot be repeated. Grades of B, C, D, E, AU, and F may be repeated only once. The higher grade is retained and the lower grade is marked “R” and is not figured in the GPA.

The following grades may be assigned by the instructor:

The following grades are administratively assigned, and are not assigned by instructors:

29

Grades of A, B, C, D, E and F are assigned a point value (A= 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point, E = 0 points,F = 0 points). Your GPAis calculated by multiplying the point value of the grade you received in each course by the numberof credits offered for the course. The resulting number is called “quality points.” Next, add up the total quality points anddivide by the number of credits. Include only the grades of A, B, C, D, E and F; other grades do not affect your GPA.

Example: Astudent receives the following grades over the course of two semesters at Bergen Community College:

Point Credits Totalvalue of for Quality

Grade grade Course Points

Semester IU.S. History C 2 X 3 = 6Foundations of Phys.Ed. B 3 X 2 = 6Speech Communication A 4 X 3 = 12Statistics C 2 X 3 = 6English Composition I D 1 X 3 = 3___ ___

14 Total GPACredits 33 Total Quality Points

This student earned a semester GPAof 2.36 for Semester I. This was arrived at by dividing the total quality points (33) by thetotal GPAcredits (14). The student’s semester GPAwas 2.36.

Semester IIEnglish Composition F 0 X 3 = 0 U.S. History II B 3 X 3 = 9General Biology I A 4 X 4 = 16Music Appreciation C 2 X 3 = 6___ ___

13 Total GPACredits 31 Total Quality Points

The student earned a semester GPA of 2.38 for Semester II (31 divided by 13).

A “Cumulative GPA” for this student is arrived at by adding the “Semester I Total Quality Points” (33) to the “Semester IITotal Quality Points” (31). The resulting figure is called the “Cumulative Quality Points.” In our example, the CumulativeQuality Points add up to “64.”

Add the Semester I Total GPA Credits (14) to the Semester II Total Credits (13). The resulting figure is called “CumulativeGPA Credits.”

Divide the Cumulative Quality Points by the Cumulative GPA Credits. The resulting figure is called the “Cumulative GPA”as it reflects all of the grades earned at BCC. Therefore, for the purpose of our example, this student has a Cumulative GPAof 2.37: 64 Cumulative Quality Points divided by 27 Cumulative Credits = 2.37 Cumulative GPA.

Students wishing further assistance in understanding their grade point average should contact the Counseling Centerin Room A-118.

(The College is founding memberof the New Jersey Virtual Community College Consortium.)Students have the opportunity to take courses in three differentdelivery modes—telecourses, interactive television, and onlinevia the Internet. All distance learning courses are the equivalentof their traditional on-campus counterparts. They cover thesame subject matter, carry the same credit, and are taught byBergen faculty. Distance learning courses are available fall,spring, and summer semesters.

Distance Learning provides students with a more flexible way ofattending Bergen. When enrolled in an online course, a studentdoes not attend classes at all but participates in an online learn-ing community. When enrolled in a telecourse, students viewprofessional-quality videos on their own and attend three semi-nars during the semester. Interactive television courses requireregular class attendance, but other students or the instructor maybe at different locations. Each of these delivery modes offers itsown distinct advantages. Each is designed to meet different stu-dent needs. Regardless of the delivery mode, students taking dis-tance learning courses will have ready access to the facultymember by phone, email, and through scheduled office hours.

B e rgen now offers more than seventy distance learning courses. Astudent may complete all of his or her general education require-ments and all the requirements for more than ten certificate anddegree programs online. For a current listing of distance learningcourses, see the current semester’s registration book.
