Western Piedmont Foundation Incorporated

J erry T. Norvell, Chairman

The Western Piedmont Foundation, Incorporated, a non-profit organization, was founded to encourage and develop public and private support of the College among the people and institutions of the area served by the College.

Although the College is primarily supported by county, state and federal funds, many needs exist which are not sufficiently provided for by these public sources. Private contributions can go a long way toward giving the College the margin of excellence for which we constantly strive. Individuals or organizations wishing to assist the College may do so by making tax deductible donations of cash, bonds, stocks, securities, real estate, annuities, wills, trusts, or memorials. Many citizens, clubs, and firms have provided scholarships for needy and worthy students. Con­tributions to the College and its students are a vital invest­ment in the future.

GENERAL INFORMATION

I

Historical Review Western Piedmont Community College, chartered by the North

Carolina State Board of Education in 1964, began its existence with offices in Morganton's City Hall. The first clases were taught in the old Central School building and in church education buildings, stores, and other rented quarters while the permanent campus was under construction.

From the beginning, the Burke County community was solidly behind the fledgling institution, supporting the original bond issue at the polls by a ratio of 17 to 1.

The first part-time programs wre offered in October, 1965, and full-time students were admitted in September, 1966, when the College began full operations under Dr. Herbert F. Stallworth, its first President.

Dr. Gordon C. Blank, who joined the College as Dean of lnstruc· tion, became President in April, 1967. In June of 1978, Dr. Blank resigned and the trustees appointed Dr. Wilmon H. Droze Presi­den t, effective July 1, 1979. During that interim, Mr. H. D. Moretz, Dean of the College, served as Acting President. Following the resignat ion of Dr. Droze, effective June 30, 1981, Dr. Jim A. Richardson, Vice President for Academic Affairs, served as Acting President. The Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Richardson as President on September 1, 1981.

The Board of Trustees of Western Piedmont governs the College within the policies of the North Carolina Board of Community Col· leges and under the provisions of state laws. This governing board consists of thirteen members: four appointed by the Governor, four by the Burke County Commissioners, and four by the Burke County Board of Education. The President of the College's Student Government Association serves as a member of the Board but does not vote. The Board of Trustees donates time and talent as a public service in an effort to provide the region with an institution whose programs are widely recognized for high standards.

The buildings, which opened for use in 1968, are situated on a hilltop near the center of a partially wooded 130-acre campus. A Student Service Center, completed in the Spring of 1977, provides a spacious College lounge and dining area as well as additional instructional areas and facilities fo r the Division of Student Services and student activities. In the Fall of 1979, the administration building and the science building were designated the W. Stanley Moore Administration Building and the Frank C. Patton Science Building.

Construction of additional classroom and laboratory space was completed in 1980. This addition provides laboratory space for

Nursing, Criminal Justice, Dental Assistint , Fire Science, and Draft· ing programs. A greenhouse, completed in September 1982, will provide instructional facilities for the Horticulture program. In 1982, Burke County Commissioners renovated the old tax office building adjacent to the Courthouse and Jail House Gallery for use by the College as a downtown facility. The building provides space for the Human Resources Development program, admissions counselor and instruction.

All campus buildings and classrooms comply with federal and state regulations which govern accessibility for the physically handi­capped student.

Student activity flows easily from the contemporary brick and concrete structures out onto the highly livable campus. Permanent picnic and lounging tables are situated in small groves near the parking lots, and an outdoor classroom beside a 3-acre ecological lake adjoins wooded nature and fitness trails. Other attractions for students and staff are tennis and general-purpose playing courts; horseshoes and shuffleboard; an archery range; a golf putting and

2

driving range and a firearms practice range. Fifty acres of grass· covered, open terrain encourage strolling and informal sports.

Westi!rn Piedmont Community College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1968, and again in 1972. From an initial enrollment of 432 curriculum students in the Fall of 1966, the College has attracted an increasing number of students with a record enrollment of 1950 students in the Spring quarter of 1982. Enrollment in recent years has averaged a quarterly enrollment of about 1550 curriculum credit students.

The Continuing Education Division continues to grow as stu­dents enroll in the many courses in the variety of services performed for community residents. Several thousands of students enroll each quarter in Continuing Education courses.

In November, 1979, the Board ofT rustees approved a program in intercollegiate athletic competition. During 1979-80, men's and women's basketball, tennis and golf teams began competition with other community colleges. Women's basketball was dropped in 1981 due to lack of interest from the students. By making Western Piedmont competitive in athletics as well as in academics, we provide opportunities to students whose interests encompass both areas.

In 1981-82, the College initiated a long-range planning process. An extensive evaluation was conducted in all administrative and sup· port services and in all instructional areas. The evaluation resulted in substantial reorganization of administrative structure and per­sonnel, in planned phasing out of some curriculum programs, and development of new vocational curricula which will provide balance to the instructional program. Plans were initiated for the construe· tion of a new vocational building.

The next ten years will be ones in which the College will continue to respond to the changing educational and cultural interests and needs of the community. The master campus development plan for the next decade calls for construction of a new library-learning resources center, a physical education facility, and a fine arts/audi· torium building. Additional programs and services in both curricu· lum and continuing education areas are being developed. Con· tinued emphasis and refinements on the qualitative aspects of program offerings will be maintained and enhanced. An innovative means for the delivery of educational services will be evolved. Prudent and effective uses of resources and public funds will con· tinue to pervade all planning efforts.

Our past has been noteworthy and our future will be even more significant.

Statement of Mission Western Piedmont Community College is a two-year college with

an open-door admission policy and a comprehensive educational program. Our mission is to provide adults in western North Caro· I ina with quality, economical, and convenient learning opportunities consistent with identified student and community needs. We seek to fulfill this mission by:

• providing education programs and courses in adult basic edu· cation, high school completion, and community services;

• providing vocational education programs and courses for those students desiring to prepare for a skilled trade or to upgrade themselves in a present job;

• providing technical education programs and courses that meet the occupational needs of individuals in the region;

• providing transferable college-level programs and courses for those students desiring to attend a senior college or university;

• providing special occupational training and upgrading pro·

grams and services for area agencies, businesses, and indus· tries;

• providing counseling, career guidance, job placement services, and other programs essential to developing the potential of individual students;

• maintaining effective and cooperative relationships with the schools, colleges, universities, government agencies, and em· players in the region; and

• maintaining sound fiscal management practices that provide the resources necessary to achieve the institution's stated objectives.

In order to operationalize the College's mission, each major administrative unit must state goals which relate to its role and function within the institution. Each goal is derived from the mission statement and supported by a series of measurable objectives. A list of the major component goals, objectives, and strategies follows.

Learning Resources Center The Learning Resources Center provides a broad base for the

instructional and avocational activities of the College community. The Library is located on the top floor of theW. Stanley Moore Administration Building. Beautiful and comfortable surroundings combined with a friendly atmosphere create a mood which stimu· lates students to put forth their best efforts.

The open stack library encourages students to browse and explore many avenues in search of knowledge or of pleasure. All areas of study are supported by carefully chosen materials of many kinds. In addition to about 30,000 books and 250 periodicals there are films, filmstrips, slides, tapes, recordings, pictures, and pam· phlets. Most of the seating is in individual study carrells. A lounge area, where the latest popular periodicals are located, is a favorite place to relax. A dozen newspapers, local and national, are regularly received. Five booths contain various kinds of audio-visual equip· ment for use by students. A conference room for group study is located nearby.

Among the supplemental services available are a paperback swap-shop and photocopying facilities. Most back issues of periodi· cals are on microfilm. A group of carrells near the microfilm cabinets is equipped with readers. Hard copy can also be made from microfilm upon request. Publications not owned by the library may be secured through the statewide interlibrary loan network.

The Library also contains materials on crafts, hobbies, sports an~ games. Students and faculty are encouraged to request additional items on any subject of interest to them.

Audio· Visual Services occupies space on the plaza level of Moore Building. A well equipped studio enables faculty to prepare audio and video tapes for use in the classroom and for individualized instruction. The staff assist faculty and students in preparing and using a wide variety of materials and equipment designed to support and supplement classroom instruction.

The Visiting Artist Program, a responsibility of the LRC, is a cooperative venture between the North Carolina Arts Council and the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges. The pur· pose of the program is to present the various arts to the people, through the services of the Visiting Artists. The artists do not teach classes in the regular curriculum of the College or in the schools in the area. Rathe r, they serve as artists-in-residence to the commu· nity and to the host college. Workshops, lectures, demonstrations, exhibits or performances will be presented upon request. Teachers, organizations or clubs may schedule Visiting Artist activities by contacting the Visiting Artist Coordinator at 437-8688 ext. 2274 or writing to the Visiting Artist Coordinator at WPCC to make arrange-

ments. Participation in this program by the community is welcomed by both the College and the Visiting Artist.

The Learning Laboratory The Learning Laboratory, opening off the main library, special·

izes in individualized instruction curriculum. Students are often assigned work to be completed in the Laboratory or they may come on their own to pursue a special interest. The Learning Laboratory has special programs for high school completion and college prepa· ration. The Laboratory is open to adults in the community to pursue their individual interests or satisfy their desire to learn. Available materials cover a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to the metric system.

Weekly Update The College publishes a weekly bulletin. Weekly Update, of

announcements, college activities, committee meetings, and other information that is of interest to students, faculty, and staff. Any member of the College may contribute items for the Weekly Update through the Office of Development.

Bookstore (The Book Cellar) A bookstore is operated by the College as a service to students,

faculty, and staff. Textbooks, supplies, class rings, and other items of special interest may be purchased at the Bookstore. The Book· store is located on the ground floor of the Student Services Building.

Traffic Regulations All students, faculty, and staff who operate or park vehicles on

campus are subject to traffic rules and regulations. A handbook of traffic rules and regulations is available. The regulations pertain to everyone and are strictly enforced. The Morganton Police Depart· men! patrols the campus and will issue tickets for vehicles that are in violation of the handicap parking regulations. All persons parking on campus are encouraged to lock vehicles and pocket the keys. The College cannot be held responsible for property left in vehicles.

Accidents All automobile accidents should be reported to the College recep­

tionist/ switchboard operator in Moore Building. Since the campus is under the jurisdiction of the City of Morganton Police Depart· ment,local officers are called when necessary. It is the responsibility of those involved in an accident to report the accident.

3

All personal inJuries requmng medical attention should be reported to the Dean of Student Services or the Business Manager. Students requiring first aid for minor injuries should contact the nearest college employee. First aid kits are provided in all buildings on campus.

Housing As a college primarily for commuting students, Western Pied·

mont does not provide dormitory or off·campus housing facilities. A housing referral list is not maintained by the Admissions Office. Students wishing to live away from home must arrange their own living accommodations. The College does not assume responsibility for the supervision of such housing.

Food Service The College operates a cafeteria in the Student Services Building

for the convenience of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Hot sandwiches and plate lunches are available. Coffee, soft drinks, confections, and other foods are always available through the vend· ing service located in the Student Services Building.

Emergency Closing of the College Occasionally the College will be closed because of weather condi·

lions or emergenc1es beyond the control of College officials. In the event of closing, radio stations in Morganton and other cities within the service area of the College will be asked to announce the closing and reopening of the campus.

Emergency Contact of Students In emergencies, a student may be contacted through the Office of

Student Services. In order to avoid interruption of the educational program, classes will not be disturbed to deliver personal messages except in emergencies as determined by the Dean of Student Servi· ces or a designated substitute.

Public pay telephones for student use are located on the breeze· way between Moore and Patton Buildings, on the first floor of the Student Services Building and outside the Engineering Building.

S tudent Lounge Areas The Student Serv1ces Building has two lounges in addition to a

cafeteria, bookstore, and recreation area. Students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors may use the college lounges during operating hours of the College. All persons using the lounges must abide by the established regulations.

The lounges provide a place for students to relax, enjoy con versa· lion or a quiet place for reading or study. Lounge areas may be reserved by application to the Dean of Continuing Education.

S howers and Lockers Showers for men and women are located in the Engineering

Building. Students, faculty, and staff who use the showers must furnish their own soap and towels.

Lockers, in hm1ted numbers, are also available in the shower dressing rooms. Persons using lockers must bring their own locks and register a key or combination with the Business Office prior to placing a lock on the door. Lockers are subject to inspection by the campus security office or by other designated campus personnel when deemed necessary for individual safety or college security.

Admission To The College

Admission Policy As a member of the North Carolina Commu­

nity College System, Western Piedmont operates under an "open door" admission policy. The open door policy does not mean that there are no re­strictions on admission to specific programs. Spe­cial admission requirements, such as educational qualifications, physical abilities, test scores, and professional restrictions, are attached to certain programs.

Within these restrictions, any person, whether a high school graduate or non-graduate, 18 years of age or older, and who is able to profit from further formal education, will be served by the institution.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES FOR CONTIN­UING EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND COURSES ARE FOUND IN THE SECTION ON CONTINUING EDUCATION.

The College serves all students regardless of race, color, creed, sex, handicap, or national origin. Specific admission policies for programs and courses are stated in individual program and course descriptions.

Although a physical examination is not required for entrance to the College, some programs do require the student to submit a doctor's report prior to acceptance into the program.

Admission of Special Students

A special s tudent is defined as one who is enrolled in curricular credit courses but who is not working toward a degree or diploma. Special students will be allowed to register for courses that do not have prerequisite requirements. They must meet the standard requirements for those courses with listed requirements.

For admission, special students need only to complete the application which is available in the Admissions Office. Special students, however, will be asked to submit proof of high school grad­uation and meet placement criteria if they desire to be reclassified as regular students. Special stu­dents will pay the same tuition and fees as regular students.

Transfer Students A transfer s tudent is a student entering West­

ern Piedmont Community College who has earned credit at another institution and wishes to apply these credits toward a WPCC degree or diploma. In addition to submitting all other appli­cation materials, students desiring to receive transfer credits must have official transcripts sent to Western Piedmont by the institution which originally granted the credit.

Transfer students must meet the admission requirements of a beginning student. However, a student who has successfully completed a fresh­man English course, a freshman mathematics course, and a reading course may not be required

to take the placement test. This will be deter­mined in the Admissions Office.

Transfer credit may be allowed for courses in which a student has made a " D" provided there is a minimum grade point average of 2.0 on all cred­its accepted for transfer. Courses must paral:el offerings at Western Piedmont as determined by the appropriate division director.

Credits from colleges operating on the semes­ter system are recalculated on a quarter-hour basis.

Grade point average for graduation, honors, a nd continuing enrollment is computed on courses taken at Western Piedmont.

Visiting Students A student working toward a degree in another

institution may take courses at Western Pied­mont for transfer. The student should get written permission from the institution from which he expects to graduate that the courses at WPCC will be acceptable toward degree requirements.

Foreign Applicants Proficiency in the English language and satis­

factory academic records are important factors in the admission decision for all applicants from out­side the United States. Foreign students must have graduated from a secondary school that is equivalent to secondary schools in the United States. Further, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the College placement tests are required of all foreign applicants. Stu­dents should contact a university in their native land for information about the Test of English as a Foreign Language. Foreign applicants should write to the Admissions Office of Western Pied­mont Community College for additional informa­tion.

Admission of Minors An applicant who is a minor between the ages

of sixteen (16) and eighteen (18) years may be considered as a person with special needs and admitted to appropriate programs o r courses. The applicant must be classified as a dropout by the public school and must not have been in the public schools for six (6) calendar months. A notarized petition by the minor's parents or legal guardian must accompany the application for admission. The applicant should contact the Director of Admissions for additional informa­tion. The College recommends that high school graduation be achieved prior to enrollment.

Admission of High School Students (Dual Enrollment)

Under regulations issued by the North Caro­lina Sta te Board of Education, the Burke County Public Schools and the North Carolina School for the Deaf have entered into a cooperative agree­ment with Western Piedmont under which select­ed high school students between the ages of 16

and 18 may enroll in certain courses at the Col­lege while still enrolled in high schooL The Direc­tor of Admissions should be contacted for details.

Application Procedures (I) All entering curriculum students must submit

a properly completed application to the Office of Admissions. Application f01 ms are availa­ble in the College Center or from high school counselors.

(2) Entering students should forward transcripts of high school and college work to the Regis­trar. The student must authorize in writing the release of his or her transcript from high schools or colleges.

(3) When notified by the Admissions Office, stu­dents come to the College Center for place­ment testing to determine the present level of ability in reading, English, and mathematics. Counselors are ava1lable at the completion of testing to discuss test results and placement in relation to individual program and career plans.

Tuition, Fees, and Expenses

Tuition for Curriculum Students

In accordance with the basic concept of com­prehensive community colleges, all fees are nom­inal and are held to a minimum. Tuition per quar­ter is as follows:

In-State Full-time students with

12 quarter hours or more Part-time students per quarter hour

O ut-of-State Full-time students with

12 quarter hours or more Part-time s tudents per quarter hour

$39.00 3.25

Tuition charges are subject to change-by-action of the North Carolina Board of Community Colleges.

Residency Under North Carolina law, a person must qual­

ify as a resident for a tuition rate lower than that for nonresidents. North Carolina statute (S.S. 116-143.1) requires that "To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, a person must have estab­lished legal residence (domicile) in North Carolina and maintained that legal resident for at least twelve ( 12) months immediately pnor to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes."

Failure to provide requested information for residency classification can result in classification as a nonres1dent and disciplinary action. A stu­dent who believes that he or she has been errone­ously classified shall be permitted to appeal the

5

case in accordance with the procedure outlined by the State Residence Comm1ttee.

Regulations concerning the classification of students by res1dence are set forth 1n "A Manual to Assist The Public Higher Educallon lnstitu· tions of North Carolina in the Matter of Student Residence Classification for Tuition Purposes." A copy of the manual is available 1n the Admissions Office for student mspection.

Tuition Refund Policy Tu1t1on refund for students shall not be made

unless the student is, in the judgment of the Col· lege, compelled to withdraw for unavoidable rea· sons. In such cases, two-thirds of the s tudent's tuition may be refunded if the student withdraws within ten (10) calendar days after the first day of classes as published in the College Calendar. Tui· tion refunds will not be cons1dered for tuition of five dollars ($5.00) or less. II a course of curricu· lum is canceled, all the student's tuition shall be refunded.

A written reason for the withdrawal must be given before any consideration of refund or credit is made.

No refunds Wlll be made for indiVldual courses dropped by the student after the close of the add/drop period. All reg1strallon changes must be made m accordance with established college procedures. (See Registration and Withdrawal procedures.)

Deferred Payment Policy In the case of emergency financial circumstan·

ces, students may petition the Vice-President for Admm1strative Services to defer payment of lui· hon and required fees. Normally, paymem must be made w1thm six weeks from the date of the deferment. Longer deferments may be granted if circumstances JUstify the extens1on.

Otherwise, all tuition and required fees are due and payable at the lime of registration. No stu· dent will be permitted to graduate, register for a new quarter or be permuted to receive college records until all accounts have been paid.

6

Fees and Expenses A student ACTIVITY FEE of $.50 per quarter

hour to a maximum of $6.00 per quarter is required of all curriculum students, except those students who are 65 years or older, mmates in prison or correctional units, or those Western Piedmont students registering for courses that are taught on another institution's campus. This fee is not refundable.

A low-cost ACCIDENT INSURANCE policy is available to students through the Business Office. Students are encouraged to purchase this protec· lion at registration. Certain specialized programs may require additional insurance.

A TRANSCRIPT FEE of$1.00ischarged for all copies of transcripts beyond the first two which are free.

The CONTINUING EDUCATION REGISTRA­TION FEE ranges from $8.00 to $15.00 for each course financed primarily with state funds. Courses funded from other sources may haue different charges. An additional charge may be required for materials and supplies.

Continuing Education Fees are subject to change by action of the North Carolina Board of Community Colleges.

SENIOR CITIZENS who are residents of North Carolina and over sixty-five years of age are eligi­ble to enroll in both curriculum and Continuing Education classes without paying tuition fees. Additional charges, however, may be required. Such registration can not preempt regular curric­ulum students.

Financial Aid Even though Western Piedmont Community

College is a relatively low-cost institution, many students find that they must have some financial assistance to gain the most from their college experience. This assistance may tal<e the form of a job, loan, grant , scholarship or a combination of any of these. Such aid is supplementary to the efforts of the student and family.

Although cuts have been made in Federal stu­dent aid benefits, all students are urged to con­tinue to apply, because many of the changes are not drastic.

Estimated total aid available at WPCC for the 1982·83 academ1c year is approximately $300,000. Th1s will amount to $160,000 in Pell Grants; $25,000 in College Work-Study; $85,000 in Guar-

anteed Student Loans; $10,000 from N.C. Stu­dent Incentive Grant; and $20,000 from local and institutional grant and scholarship sources.

Application Procedures Students applying for student aid only at WPCC

may apply for all college awarded a1d by complet­ing the Application for Federal Student Aid. There is no charge for this application.

Students applying to several different sources or colleges should file the FFS (Family Financial Statement) which will be processed and sent to all sources simultaneously. There 1s a small charge to the student for that service.

There is no deadline for application for student aid, but preference is given to those who com­plete application between January 1 and April 15, prior to starting in the fall . Some spec1fic pro­grams do have application deadhnes.

Pell Grant (Formerly Basic Grant)

The purpose of the grant is to provide eligible students with a "foundation" of financial aid to help defray the cost of post-secondary education. The Pell Grant award could range up to $813 per school year at WPCC, dependmg on your cost of education and 1f you attend college for a full aca­demic year on a full-time (12 hours or more per quarter) basis. Part lime students taking a min­imum of six hours are also eligible for the Pell Grant.

College Work Study Programs (CWSP)

Th1s a1d is 1ntended to proVlde ehg1ble students employment to assist in paying their expenses to attend the college. The Financial Aid office en­deavors to assign the student to work in the area of his college preparation. The amount a student may earn is indicated on the award letter.

Benefits (or Ve terans a nd De pe ndents

All curricula at Western Piedmont have been approved for veterans educational assistance under Public Law 634. Dependents of deceased or disabled veterans may also be eligible for edu­cational assistance under federal or state pro­grams.

War Orphan's Educational Assistance Act of 1956 entitles a son or daughter of a 100% disabled veteran or of a veteran who died of a service· connected diSllbility to receive benefits from the Veterans Administ rallon.

To initiate proceedmgs in applying for Veterans Educational Benefits, the student should contact the Veterans Affairs Office at the College.

Soc ial Security Be ne fits

Sons and daughters of retired, d1sabled, o r deceased workers may be eligible for Social Secunty benefits while they are unmarried, full­time students in college.

Payment of these benefits is not automatic. Students should contact their local Social Secu· rity Representative for further mformation.

Voca tional Reha bilitation

By act of Congress any physically handicapped student may be eligible for scholarship assistance under the provision of Public Law 565. Applica­tions for this scholarship aid should be processed through the District Office nearest the applicants. Inquiries may be d1rected to the College Student Financial Aid Office.

Satisfactory P rogr ess : All students receiving fed· eral student aid must maintain "satisfactory prog­ress." At WPCC this means that a full-hme stu· dent must pass at least half the work or 6 hours, whichever is less, and maintam a 1.50 GPA or better. Students who fail to meet this requirement should contact the D1rector of Financial Aid as soon as poss1ble to learn the process for returning to satisfactory standmg. These procedures are detailed in the Polic1es and Procedures Manual.

Division of Student Services The Division of Student Services provides ser·

vices to facilitate the educational process for Western Piedmont students. Student Services staff is equipped to assist students through all phases of College hfe, beginning with the applica· tion process. Through Student Services, stu· dents receive testing and placement, orientation, individual and group counseling, and job place· ment. Specialized services are available to stu· dents who have financial need, veterans, and handicapped s tudents. Student activities, includ· ing the SGA, the yearbook,the newspaper, inter· collegiate and intramural athletics are also admin­istered through Student Services.

Orientation Program To promote rap1d and sound adJustment to the

educational philosophy, programs, and standards of the College, new students are expected to participate in an orientation program. The objec· tives of the orientation program are:

1. To acquaint the new student w1th the College, its facilities, resources, services, activities, pol· icies and organizations.

2. To assist the student in taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by the College.

3. To help the student in developing effective approaches to the problems frequently en· countered by beginning college srudents.

Testing and Placement Placement testing is required at Western Pied·

mont to determine the level at which a student should begin study. The College's series of place· ment tests measures skill levels in reading, gram· mar and mathernallcs. A counselor discusses the test results with each student 1n order to plan the most efficient route to that individual's educa· tiona! goal.

Test results mdicate whether a student needs special preparahon before credit coursework is attempted. A placement test standard score of 50 or above in grammar and mathematics allows a student to begin taking courses on the credit level. A reading score of 46 or above indicates a s tudent is exempt from the developmental read· ing requirement. Some programs have require· ments that vary from those of the general college and should be explained by a counselor or aca· demic adviser.

Tests to assist the individual in the achievement of academic, personal, and vocational goals are available from Student Services. Students with these concerns are urged to contact a member of the counseling staff.

Academic Advising To assist students in their academic programs,

the College has established a system of academic advising whereby the student is assigned to a

faculty member who serves as an adviser. The adviser helps to plan the student's academic pro­gram, particularly during pre-registration and reg· istration periods; keeps a record of progress; and is ava1lable throughout the year for addttional academic advisement.

Advisers will make every attempt to give effec· tive gUJdance to students in academic matters and refer students to those qualified to help in other matters. The final responsibllity for meeting all academic requirements for a selected program rests with the student.

Student Health Services The College does not provide medical or hospi·

tal service nor does the College assume responsi· bility for injuries incurred by students when taking part in intramural sports, physical activity courses, or student activities. First aid is available in all shop areas and in Student Services.

Program for Hearing Impaired Students

The College recognizes its responsibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to proVIde equal access to handicapped students.

The comprehensive program of services to hearing impaired students was established in the fall of 1981 to encourage enrollment of students with hearing impairments by offering them the best possible program and facilities for gaining an education.

Support services for hearing1mpaired students include: interpreters, tutorial services, notetak· ers, and counseling. Students are encouraged to participate in college related activities, and inter· preters for these functions are provided when requested.

General procedures for application and admis· sion apply to hearing impaired s tudents. For further information, contact the Counselor for the Program for the Hearing Impaired.

Counseling Services The professional counseling staff provides a

variety of services to students and faculty. Among the services are personal and group counsehng, personal evaluallon and occupational and career planning.

Career Center Research has shown that students who have

realistic career goals achieve better in college. Those who are vague or uncertain about their goals are not able to relate their college studies to their hfe styles. In order to meet this need, WPCC maintains the Career Center. Its function is to help students who are undecided or ambiguous about career plans to find the1r place in the future.

Career Planmng classes are designed to help students assess the1r mterests and abilities, clarify values, and explore many career options. These classes provide the student with life/ work plan· mng and expertise for changmg careers. Personal goals are exammed as they relate to realistic career possibilitieS.

7

A Career Library is available that includes occupational information for the student. A series of color videotapes, describing career possibilities in Burke County, provides the student with an expanded awareness of career opportunities.

The DiVIsion of Student Services offers profes· sional counseling to adult men and women who desire to improve their career opportunities. Career Counseling is tailored to the specific needs of the individual, and provides help to those persons:

.... who are unemployed, never held a job, or undecided about what career to enter,

. .. . who are not earmng as much as they can, or are thinking about changing careers at mid· life,

. . .. who need additional training, greater con· fidence, or a high school diploma to get ahead,

.... who are single parents, but can't find time to upgrade their qualifications, and

.. .. adults who are displaced homemakers, women who through widowhood, separation, or divorce must support themselves or their family and feel lost in the face of new responsibilities and the world of work.

Veterans Affairs Office

College programs are approved by the North Carolina State Approval Agency for educating and training veterans under Public Law 894 and for educating and training dependents of deceased or disabled veterans under Public Law 634. Information and assistance regarding veterans benefits may be obtained from the Veterans Affairs Office on campus, the Veterans Services OffiCe in each county, or from the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Winslon·Salem.

To receive full benefits, the veteran must enroll for a full course load (twelve cred it hours) in a degree program or twenly·two contact hours in a vocational diploma program.

It is possible for veterans to make application for VA educational benefits through the Office of Veterans Affairs on campus. Dependents of de· ceased or disabled veterans should apply for edu· cational benefits through a Veterans Affairs Ser· vice Office.

RETENTION REQUIREMENT Any student receiving VA Educational Benefits

who fails to attain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average after attempting a minimum of twelve quarter hours will be placed on academic proba· lion. The veteran will remain on academic proba·

8

lion for one quarter. At that time if the student's cumulative grade point average is below 2.0, benefits will be terminated. Conditions for re· entrance are listed below.

STANDARDS OF ATTENDANCE Standards of attendance for Veterans are im·

portant in determining the amount of benefits payable. Veterans should be aware of the follow· ing policies:

(a) Students are expected to be present for all regular class meetings and examinations for which they are registered. An excused ab· sence is defined as that situation in which a student may be physically absent from a given class meeting or meetings, as arranged be· tween the student and instructor concerned, but during which time the student continues to work toward the completion of the objec· lives and goals of the course.

Western Piedmont has taken the position that excused absences do not count toward the two week consecutive absences required for d ropping a student from membership ip a class.

(b) The College reaffirms its position that the instructor has the authority to make the final interpretation of whether an absence is ex· cused or unexcused. If the student should disagree with the decision of the instructor, the student may appeal through established grievance procedures.

(c) Students legitimately dropped from class by an instructor cannot be readmitted without that instructor's permission.

(d) A student is considered to remain in mem· bership in a class until the student officially withdraws or transfers to another class sec· tion or is officially withdrawn from the class.

(e) A student will not be carried in membership after two weeks consecutive absences, or after withdrawal by the student or instructor.

(f) A student who is withdrawn or who with· draws from class will receive VA benefits only for the hours in membership reported through the last attendance date in class.

(g) A student who returns to class aft2r having been withdrawn may not include those class hours from the time the student was with· drawn until the student was readmitted.

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT Western Piedmont's policy on student conduct

is the same for all students, veterans included. (See the College's Student Code of Conduct.) If a veteran is dismissed from the College for miscon· duct, veterans benefits are terminated immediate· ly.

CONDITIONS FOR RE·ENTRANCE Western Piedmont operates under an open·

door policy so no student is denied re·admission after having been dropped for unsatisfactory prog· ress or conduct. However, certain conditions must be met before a student receiving Veterans Administration Educational Benefits will be re·

certified for those benefits. Th.e conditions are:

1. Re·evaluation of program objectives to deter· mine if the student would be better suited in another program.

2. The student will receive counseling at West· ern Piedmont in an effort to identify and elimi· nate the cause for unsatisfactory progress or conduct.

3. The student will carry a half·time load until his/her grade point average reaches 2.0 or higher.

Student Activities The Pioneers

In the earlier days of the College, students selected as their symbol the Pioneer. They recog· nized then, as now, that there is no typical West· ern Piedmont student. Today, our Pioneers may be a recent high school graduate, a housewife looking for a new meaning in life, a veteran, a mother with five school·age children, a police· man, a full·time employed father or grandfather seeking new job skills, a college graduate wanting more education, or a person seeking a high school diploma. For whatever reason they have for enrolling, any of our students are symbolized by the Pioneer spirit.

From softball and tennis intramurals and team competition in city industrial leagues, to lawn concer ts and dances, to special interests clubs, Western Piedmont students make time in busy schoolwork schedules to be involved in the WPCC community.

The Board of Trustees recently approved a program in intercollegiate a thletic competition. Already men's basketball teams are in action. Tennis and golf teams also compete with other community colleges.

The experience of self·govemance and work· ing with the democratic process enhances aca· demic coursework. Students with talent in crea· tive writing may find both challenges and satis· faction through participation on one of the s tudent publications.

Student Government Association

The Student Government Association is de· signed to promote the general welfare of the Col· lege in a democratic fashion and to facilitate communication between the students, the faculty, and the administration. Every student enrolled in a curriculum course is entitled to become a vot· ing member of the Association.

Through the Student Senate and the Executive Council of the Student Government Association, activity funds are budgeted for social and cultural events, College athletics, special interest clubs, and organizations which have been officially rec­ognized by Western Piedmont Community Col­lege. The Student Sen tate holds regular meetings open to all students.

The President's Cabinet, in which each campus organization has representation, meets monthly

with the P·asident of the College to discuss cam· pus issues and to keep the President informed. Members of the President's Cabinet serve as stu· dent hosts at special College functions and pro· mote interest in student activities both on and off campus.

In tram urals Through the Student Government Associa·

tion, various tournaments and games are spon· sored throughout the year. Volleyball, tennis, table tennis, horseshoes, and video tournaments are some of the group and solo events offered. All students are encouraged to enter these events. Playing in the Morganton Recreation Depart· ments industrial leagues, WPCC teams in bas· ketball, volleyball and softball are strong con· tenders in city competition.

Intercollegiate Athletics Western Piedmont Community College is a

member of the Western Tarheel Athletic Confer· ence and the National Junior College Athletic Association. The College participates in men's basketball, tennis, golf and cross country. Com· petition in other sports will be initiated as student interest evolves and financial support becomes available.

Western Piedmont Community College com· plies with the eligibility rules of the conference and national o rganization. Individual questions con· cerning eligibility may be directed to the College's Director of Athletics.

All inter· ested students are welcome to try out for the staffs. The newspaper, The Pioneer Press, is pub· lished monthly. The yearbook, The Legend, is published in the spring.

Clubs and Organizations Students with special interests in any legitimate

area or activity are encouraged to form their own organization or club, either with or without formal Student Association affiliation. However, student activity funds are accessible only to those clubs which have obtained official recognition of the Student Senate, and which are open to all stu· dents.

Student Code of Conduct The administration, faculty, staff, and Student

Government Association of Western Piedmont Commumty College believe that self-discipline is an integral part of each student's education.

The conduct of students, on campus or in Col­lege related off-campus activities, is expected to be that of any responsible adult in a public place. Since you are the most important constituency of Western Piedmont Community College, you should consider at all times that the reputation of your college depends in no small part upon your behavior.

No long list of regulations and penalties should be necessary if each student abides by the rules of common courtesy and cooperation; however, there are certain North Carolina State Laws which govern the use and possession of drugs or alcoholic beverages in public and the possession of firecrackers, firearms, or explosives of any kind. State laws also prohibit hazmg of any stu· dent by another student or students.

The College, after appropriate hearings, may dismiss any student who in its judgment exhibits behavior mcompatible with the purposes of the College. The College assures that any student charged with behaVIOr which should result in dis­ciplinary action IS entitled to due process through established College appeal procedures.

Courses offered during these sessions are similar in scope and maintain the equivalent standards of regular academic year courses.

Credit and Contact Hours Credit for college work is recorded in quarter

hours, defined as one quarter hour credit for one contact hour of classwork, two contact hours of laboratory, or three contact hours of shop or clinical work per week for a term of eleven weeks or the eqUivalent.

A contact hour 1s the actual class time that a student attends class, laboratory, or shop per week.

Grading System ___ _ The requirements for degrees are com·

puled not o nly in quarte r hours but also in grade points , the numerical equivalents of the letter grades earned by the student. The grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of credit hours attempted. If a course is repeated, only the points and credit hours earned in the most recent attempt will be used in the computa­tion of the average.

auditor. The registration fee will be the same as for credit. The auditing student will not be required to take examinations nor receive credit for the course.

Credit by Examination Upon petition from a student, credit by exami·

nation may be given. An examination will be devel· oped and administered by the instructor of the course, subject to the approval of the department and the Dean of Instruction. The student must register for the challenged course to receive credit.

The department administering the examination shall determine the acceptable score for which credit may be given. A report of the student's performance on the examination will remain in a permanent record file. If credit is achieved through examination, it will be so indicated on the stu· dent's transcript by noting "CR." If the student does not score sufficiently high on the examina· tion to receive credit for the course, no notation shall appear on the transcript.

The student who is credited for a course through this procedure shall have the hours for the course credited toward graduation require· ments but shall earn no grade points for such credit. In no case shall the combined total of any transfer credit hours and credit by examination

dent who earns an average grade point of 3.25 or higher on all work attempted as a full· time student is qualified for the Dean's List. The Dean's List is published at the end of each quarter.

Students with the highest academic achieve· ment will be selected as marshals for graduation exercises.

Transfer Students. The College staff will cooperate with each stu· .

dent in planning a transfer program. However, it is the responsibility of the student to discover what courses and credit will transfer to the receiv· ing institution. The acceptance of courses taken at Western Piedmont Community College is determined solely by the institution to which the student transfers.

1. Decide early which college to attend. Contact the college for recommendations concerning appropriate courses.

2. Obtain a current copy of the catalogue of that college and study its entrance requirements.

3. Confer with your faculty adviser at WPCC about transfer plans.

4. Check carefully at least a quarter or two before transfer to be sure that all necessary

requirements are being met and all necessary steps are taken.

Second Degree Policy Elective credits for one transfer degree may

apply to another transfer degree. The student must decide which degree to pursue based on the requirements of the receiving institution and the intended area of major concentration.

1. Concurrent or sequential completion of two Associate in Applied Science degrees is repre­sented by issuing separate degrees. The stu­dent need take only those required courses for the second degree not completed for the first degree.

2. A student may earn more than one degree concurrently or consecutively. Courses which apply appropriately to both degrees may be counted toward both degrees, but the specific requirement of each degree must be met.

3. Students who are candidates for any other degree or diploma cannot be eligible for the Associate in General Education.

Honor Students The College will recognize students who have

done outstanding scholastic work as honor grad­uates. Graduation with High Honors is granted to students in degree or diploma programs who have achieved a grade point average of 3.60 or better. Graduation with Honors is granted to those who have achieved a grade point average of 3.25 to 3.59.

Four rising sophomore degree students, two from College Transfer programs and two from Technical programs, and one, third·quarter di­ploma student from Vocational programs, will be selected as Marshals for graduation. Selection is made on the basis of the highest grade point average on credits earned at Western Piedmont. The Marshal with the highest academic average and total credits shall be designated Chief Mar· shal. No student may serve twice.

Developmental Studies Program Developmental Studies at Western Piedmont Community Col­

lege is an attempt to improve a student's ability to succeed academ­ically. It is a cooperative program involving counselors, instructional faculty and administrators to assist students needing additional academic skills improvement before being admitted to a curriculum program.

Selection for developmental courses is determined by scores made on the Comparative Guidance and Placement Tests. The purpose of Developmental Studies is to improve a student's skills in English, reading, mathematics, study habits, and self confidence. In addition to enrolling in scheduled developmental courses, assist­ance may be obtained through individualized, self-paced instruction offered by the Learning Laboratory.

Evening Programs Classes are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday

through Thursday and from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Students may choose to enroll in day or evening classes or in both according to their lime needs and the availability of courses.

In some programs, all requirements for a degree may be com­pleted in the evening courses. In response to student requests, Western Piedmont offers courses in suitable off-campus locations such as community centers, schools, churches, and other public buildings.

Flexible scheduling is an important feature of evening programs. This has recently been accomplished through short courses, mini­quarters, plus specialized courses being made available. Informa­tion from community is continually sought in order that local educa­tional needs can be met.

The Library and the Learning Laboratory are open in the eve­nings for student or community use. Personnel are on duty for student assistance. A variety of Continuing Education courses are offered at night. Contact the Coordinator of Evening Activities for further details.

Cooperative Education Program Cooperative Education (Co-op) is designed to give students

enrolled in many programs within the college a chance to work on a job while completing their degrees. T his combination of classroom instruction with practical/related work experience provides numer­ous benefits to participating students.

Co-op students work from two to six quarters in a part-time or

17

full-time job with employers selected and/or approved by the col­lege. Academic credit is given for the learning gained during the Co-op work period. Students are contacted periodically by their Co-op instructor/ coordinator, and receive on-the-job supervision by the employer.

Eligibili ty

Any students who are enrolled in programs offering Co-op for academic credit and who have completed a minimum of one quarter at the college are eligible to Co-op if they meet the followmg conditions:

1. approval of Co-op instructor/ coordinator 2. an academic standing (2.0 GPA) 3. Approval from Co-op director Certain curriculum programs may specify additional conditions.

Application Procedure

Interested students should obtain an application form from the Co-op Office and schedule an interview first with the Co-op coordi­nator and then with the director. Students are selected for Co-op on the basis of information obtained from their transcripts, application, and an interview regarding career goals. After the student has been accepted into the program, the Co-op director or instructor/ coor­dinator will be responsible for locating and/ or approving an appro­priate Co-op assignment.

Acade mic Credit

Credit hours for Co-op work periods are determined by dividing the average number of hours worked per week by 10 and rounding to the nearest whole number. Generally, Co-op students may earn a maximum of 12 quarter hours of Co-op credit toward the Associate in Applied Science degree, and up to six hours credit toward the Associate in Arts, Science, or Fine Arts degree.

Registration

Students must have the "Approval for Cooperative Education Program" form signed by their department instructor/ coordinator and the Co-op director before officially registering for a Co-op work experience course. Students who are approved and are placed on Co-op must register before going on their assignment. Pre-registered students have the first priority.

Students interested in Cooperative Education are invited to con· tact the Co-op Office. Information is also available through faculty advisors.

CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Adult Basic Education The objective of this program is to provide

elementary grade level instruction to those indi­viduals who possess less than an eighth grade education. Instruction covers the fundamentals of mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and English.

There are no fees or charges of any kind. All materials have been especially prepared for adults with emphasis on individual needs and interests.

Levell- The fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic are stressed. T his course is de­signed to bring adults to a functional level where individual study is possible.

Level II- This course is a continuation of the first level with more individual study and a greater scope of subject matter, including science and social studies. With the completion of Level II, the adult should be equipped to enter one of the Adult High School Completion programs.

ABE classes are located in areas throughout the county.

High School Completion This program, consisting of the Adult High

School Diploma Program and the Adult High School Equivalency, provides two ways to com­plete requirements for a high school diploma or certificate.

Minor applicants, age 16 o r 17 years, may enroll as defined in the admission regulations.

( 1) T he Adult H igh School Diploma Program. This is a cooperative arrangement between Western Piedmont Community College and the Burke County Public Schools Board of Education with the College serving as the administering agency.

An individually planned program of study is developed for each student based on an informal placement test and a high school transcript, if one is available. The staff reviews previous school records and provides coun­seling for each student to establish academic status. The courses required for graduation are thenderermined. Students attend classes in English, mathemat ics, social studies, and natural science. When a student· satisfactorily completes the required courses and passes the North Carolina Competency Test, a high school diplo ma will be awarded.

(2) The Ad ult H igh S c hoo l Equivale n cy. S tu· dents may study in the College Learning Laboratory in preparation for the General Education Development Tests (GED). The laboratory is designed to provide study oppor· tunities for adults in practically any field of

59

interest at all grade levels. Since the lab is a self-instruction facility, it is not necessary to start at the beginning of the quarter. A student may enroll at any time. Scheduling is flexible; the student sets his own hours and works at his own pace using programmed materials, individualized instruction, and audiovisual materials.

When a student enrolls, he is given place· ment inventories. Laboratory coordinators assess the educational needs of the student and place him in appropriate programs. The five areas of the GED include literature, mathematics, natural science, English, and social studies. Those receiving a score of 225 or better on the GED, with no single test score below 35, will receive a High School Equivalency Certificate.

This certificate is recognized as the legal equivalent of a high school diploma for pur­poses of college admissions, scholastic diag­nosmg, and employment. The certificate is awarded by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

A prospective applicant must be a resident of the State and must file application on a special form in the Learning Laboratory at the College.

A $5.00 fee will be charged when a student takes the GED test.

Human Resources Development

This program is designed to help the chroni· cally unemployed, underemployed, and disad­vantaged adult to improve his or her job situation and educational background. The program pro· vides a client-centered approach to dealing with unemployment. Program intent is to provide reading, writing, arithmetic, and human relations skills necessary to become and remain success· fully employed.

Human Resources Development is a seven· week program consisting of Personal Develop· ment and Basic Education. In Personal Develop· ment, efforts are made to improve one's self­image, self-confidence, and self-awareness toward employment goal attainment. Learning job inter­viewmg skills, taking tours of various employment sites, and hearing visiting guest speakers are some of the activities involved in the Personal Development segment of the program. In Basic Education, class activities are geared toward preparation for the High School Equivalency exam (GED), and for those with High School dtplomas, it is a review in preparation for entrance into higher education or the job market.

Counseling is provided by members of the staff in conjunction with the counseling staff in student services.

Eligible students, based on annual income, may receive stipends while attending the program.
