Welcome to Rogue Community College’s Pathfinder Programs!
Dear high school students,
It is an exciting time to be a high school student in Josephine and Jackson counties!
The line between high school and college used to be like a wall: you would graduate from high school and
then begin college by entering a whole new environment. Things have changed!
You can earn Rogue Community College credit while still in high school, free of charge, by taking classes at
your high school from approved high school teachers. These teachers have put in extra time to become
volunteer RCC part-time faculty, working with the various RCC academic departments to align the content
of their high school classes to mirror the RCC curriculum. These COLLEGE NOW classes are considered
“dual credit” classes, meaning that they apply to both your high school diploma and college transcript. This
cost savings and opportunity is not available in many parts of the country or even in some parts of Oregon.
There are many benefits to earning COLLEGE NOW credit:
Time: The college credit you can earn while in high school can shorten the time it takes to earn a
college certificate or degree after high school.
Money: Your family will save a tremendous amount of money on tuition, fees, books, and living
expenses.
College Knowledge: You will learn about college classes, content, processes and rigor in the
supportive, familiar environment of your high school.
Future Opportunities: The college credits you earn now will mean time savings in the future,
affording you time for other opportunities, such as: adding a dual major or minor in your college
plan, studying abroad, getting a jumpstart on further education or entering the workforce.
Earn a Certificate or the Oregon Transfer Module: You can earn an RCC certificate, the Oregon
Transfer Module (transcript notation), or even an Associate’s Degree by combining free COLLEGE
NOW classes with discounted traditional RCC classes at an RCC campus (see Extended Options
and Early College programs in this handbook).
In 2014-2015:
18 Rogue Valley high schools participated in COLLEGE NOW.
1,721 high school students earned credit from 100 COLLEGE NOW high school instructors.
10,168 COLLEGE NOW credits were earned, saving $925,288 in tuition dollars to students. When
considering the costs of fees, books, housing and transportation, true costs savings are likely three to
four times higher.
177 high school students at 12 Rogue Valley high schools also participated in RCC’s Early College
and Extended Options Pathfinder Program, where students take traditional RCC classes from RCC
faculty.
Rogue Community College is dedicated to expanding dual credit and early college opportunities for high
school students in our region. We wish you continued success in your college endeavors.
Sincerely,
Daniella Bivens, Director

Pathfinder Program Overview
RCC’s Pathfinder Program refers to all of the dual enrollment programs and high school
partnership agreements between Rogue Community College (RCC) and all Jackson/Josephine
County high schools, including:
I. Accelerated college credit programs:
o COLLEGE NOW. COLLEGE NOW courses are taught by high school teachers and
are free to students. This dual enrollment program allows you to earn college credit in
selected high school classes. Approved COLLEGE NOW high school teachers align the
content of their classes to mirror courses taught on the RCC campus. You are encouraged to
pair COLLGE NOW classes with traditional RCC courses to complete an RCC certificate or
plan of study prior to graduating from high school; see Extended Options below.
o Extended Options. Many high school students are working toward completing
transferable general education requirements (Oregon Transfer Module) or taking classes
toward an RCC certificate (See High School Entry Points for suggested plans of study, page
7). To complete their academic plan, high school students utilize COLLEGE NOW
offerings at their high school and may also take traditional RCC-faculty taught courses,
online or in-person at an RCC campus, through RCC’s Extended Options program. These
Extended Options courses are arranged and billed through the high school (or other funding
entity such as the John and Lillian Morris Scholarship) for fall, winter and spring terms at a
discounted rate. High schools choose whether to apply the traditional RCC courses to high
school diploma requirements.
o Early College. This dual enrollment program allows students at participating high
schools to become full-time RCC students during their junior and/or senior high
school years. Students first complete the Oregon Transfer Module before pursuing the
AAOT: Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree (or other academic plan agreed upon by
RCC Advisor and the high school). High schools oversee course selection and back grant
credit toward students’ high school diplomas. High schools are billed directly at a discounted
rate and student costs, if any, vary from school to school. See www.roguecc.edu/pathfinder
for current list of participating high schools.
II. STEM Academy Are you interested in experiencing and learning more about careers in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math? Rogue Community College invites high school students to one
of our three campuses to attend full and half-day workshops, industry tours, RCC-led presentations,
one-on-one time with faculty, and career advising through our navigation coach. Students learn
about careers in manufacturing, welding, construction, automotive technologies, and more!
III. The John and Lillian Morris Scholarship is a limited-entry scholarship that is available to
first-generation or low-income students at Butte Falls, Crater, Eagle Point, and Rogue River High
Schools. Students are considered Extended Options program students, utilizing COLLEGE NOW
and traditional RCC courses to complete an approved program. The scholarship funds the class
costs for traditional RCC courses needed.
6
Stackable Credentials
Rogue Community College specializes
in stackable certificates that can open
doors to employment opportunities and
apply to further education.
Career Pathways Certificates require just
a few courses and are self-paced. Such
certificates are perfect for high school students who need a competitive edge when applying for an entry-
level position. Each pathway includes the core entry level courses a student will need to start in that career
field.
Students may apply the courses they earn in a Career Pathways Certificate (less-than-one-year certificate) to
further credentials, such as one-year certificates, Associate’s Degrees, or Bachelor’s degrees and beyond. The
goal is to make a series of obtainable credentials that can build upon each other to give the student greater
career and educational opportunities as they progress through obtainable steps. See RCC’s Career Pathways
Certificate/Roadmaps webpage at http://www.roguecc.edu/Programs/CareerPathways/Certificates.asp.
Career Pathways Roadmaps
RCC publishes Career Pathways Roadmaps at
http://www.roguecc.edu/Programs/CareerPathways/
A roadmap is a graphic display of the path from the
first certificate of completion to the two-year or four-
year degree (and beyond).
The roadmaps are a helpful tool for high school
students looking to see how certificates apply to
further education. The roadmaps detail employment
information at each step of the pathway,
corresponding with the education obtained.
7
Program Entry Points for High School Students
High school students are encouraged to take college courses to complete a certificate or plan of study rather
than courses at random. In this manner, students leave high school not only with a high school diploma but
also with a college credential that will apply to further education and be listed on a resume right away!
Five Suggested High School Entry Points
Five entry points have been identified by RCC as ideal for high school students in the Rogue Valley: 1.) Oregon Transfer Module Completes the freshmen year of college in Oregon and focuses on general
education courses for transfer to 4-year institutions. Completion of the OTM applies and leads to
the AAOT: Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree.
2.) Basic Healthcare Certificate. This one-year certificate introduces many health care fields and has the
following specialty track areas: Clinical Lab Assistant, Community Health Worker, Dental Assisting,
EMT/Paramedic, Fitness Technician, Health Care Informatics, Human Services, Massage Therapy,
Medical Assistant, Nursing, Nursing Assistant or Practical Nursing.
3.) High Technology Studies: Plant Systems Technician Career Pathways Certificate. Introduces careers
in industrial technology, including manufacturing, electronics, and welding.
4.) Business and Information Specialist Career Pathways Certificate. Introduces career fields in business
and computer science.
5.) Early Childhood Education-Basic Career Pathways Certificate. This certificate is the first step in the
Early Childhood Education career pathway leading to the ECE-Intermediate Career Pathways
Certificate, the one-year certificate, and the AAS degree. Talk to an advisor about the RCC-SOU
Early Childhood Education transfer option for a 4-year degree.
Other program options are available. List of all RCC Certificates/degrees:
http://www.roguecc.edu/Programs/degrees-certificates.asp
Entry Point Flyers, Created for Each High
School
To assist you and your high school liaisons, the Pathfinder Office
creates five flyers for each high school, one for each suggested high
school entry point. Each flyer outlines the dual credit opportunities
available for the required courses through Rogue Community College
and Southern Oregon University. Additionally, courses only available at
RCC are indicated in a suggested calendar format for fall, winter, and
spring RCC terms. Flyers will be released each November for the
coming academic school year and published at our Pathfinder RCC
website (http://go.roguecc.edu/department/college-now/classes-
available-your-high-school).
Sample high school flyer. The Pathfinder
Office issues flyers for each suggested high
school entry points each fall.

SECTION 1. COLLEGE NOW
COLLEGE NOW is one of several Rogue Community College Pathfinder dual enrollment
programs, and it is the largest in terms of the number of students participating. COLLEGE NOW courses
are taught by high school teachers at the high schools.
Rogue Community College’s COLLEGE NOW program allows high school students to earn college credit
for free in selected high school classes at the same time they are earning credit toward their high school
diploma. High school teachers who have been approved to teach COLLEGE NOW courses align the
content of their courses to mirror courses taught on the RCC campus.
You are encouraged to utilize both COLLEGE NOW courses available at your high school (taught by high
school teachers) and Extended Options courses (traditional RCC courses taught by RCC faculty at an RCC
campus, available at a discount if arranged through your high school) to complete a certificate or other RCC
plan of study while in high school (see page 7.)
Expectations of High School Students
You are expected to:
Register and enroll in COLLEGE NOW courses through your online my Rogue student account
using the permission code provided by your instructor;
Read this Pathfinder Handbook for Students, which details important information;
Complete college-level work;
Monitor your RCC academic transcript for accuracy;
Initiate contact with your COLLEGE NOW instructor regarding any grade concern or any course
that is missing from your transcript; and,
Know add and drop deadlines, and drop yourself from any RCC course prior to the published drop

High School and RCC Term Alignment
Although RCC terms are 11 weeks, high school courses may span the entire year, a semester, or a trimester.
Check with your high school COLLEGE NOW teacher regarding which RCC term your high school class
is scheduled in. The RCC term that is typically arranged is the term that is closest to the end of the high
school course. The majority of COLLEGE NOW high school classes are aligned with winter or spring RCC
terms. High school teachers follow the RCC grading deadlines for the published RCC term that their course
is aligned with.

on a student flyer or registration postcard at the beginning of each registration period. If you do not receive
a permission code, contact your high school teacher.
11
COLLEGE NOW Grading Policy
You will be given an RCC course syllabus for each COLLEGE NOW class you are registered in. A
syllabus is a document which gives the course overview and informs you of the content of the course,
proficiencies and achievement needed in your coursework, and how your work will be evaluated.
State and college regulations/policy dictate that all students in dual enrollment classes are graded on the
same standards and under the same guidelines as any regular college student. That means that COLLEGE
NOW students can earn A - F, W, I, P, Z and NP grades that will show on the official college transcript.
RCC grading policy is located at: http://www.roguecc.edu/SASP/CourseGrading.asp. (See also Grading,
pg. 9.)
You are responsible for measuring your own abilities relative to the study tasks before you. If at any time
you are struggling in class, it is recommended that you seek help through your instructor or high school
counselor.
Individual RCC courses and departments may have specific criteria that must be met before a student is
eligible to earn college credit, i.e. all COLLEGE NOW math students are required to take the RCC math
final exam. Your COLLEGE NOW instructor will maintain the integrity of the course by ensuring that all
requirements are met. For more information on general RCC grading policies, see page 19.
Missing COLLEGE NOW Credit and Grade Changes
You should review your RCC unofficial transcript in your myROGUE account regularly following the end
of each RCC term to ensure you received credit as expected for each COLLEGE NOW class.
It is your responsibility to contact your high school instructor(s) regarding missing COLLEGE NOW credit
or incorrect grades on your RCC transcript as soon as possible and within two years. Transcripts cannot be
changed after two years and the Pathfinder Office will not accept requests to review such situations after
two years.
If your high school instructor agrees that you earned credit for a COLLEGE NOW course that did not post
to your RCC record, Rogue Community College’s Pathfinder Office requires that the instructor email
HSA@roguecc.edu to inform us of the situation, grade earned and to stipulate that all requirements were
met. The Pathfinder office will then review the request.
Similarly, if a student has a concern about a grade that has posted on their RCC record, it is the
responsibility of the student to contact the instructor who will review the situation and determine if a
mistake was made. High school instructors, in turn, alert the Pathfinder Office by emailing
HSA@roguecc.edu.
Prerequisites
Many college courses require prerequisites. Prerequisites are conditions that must be met for a student to
gain access to a particular class. These conditions are usually the completion of another course, certain
placement scores, or department or instructor approval. COLLEGE NOW courses WR121, ENG104,
SP111, and CS125ss require special prerequisites; check with your high school teacher for specific
information.
12
COLLEGE NOW Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Pathfinder, COLLEGE NOW, 2+2, and Extended Options?
Pathfinder is an overarching term referring to all of our high school programs at RCC.
COLLEGE NOW is a Pathfinder program that is distinguished by high school teachers teaching
the courses at high school facilities. COLLEGE NOW classes are free to students.
2+2 is no longer a term that is used. It is the old name for COLLEGE NOW.
Extended Options refers to students taking both COLLEGE NOW courses taught by their high
school teachers and traditional RCC courses that progress towards an RCC certificate or plan.
Traditional RCC courses are taught by RCC faculty using RCC facilities, offered at a discount to
high school students if arranged through their high school coordinator.
I’ve forgotten my RCC ID# and can’t log in. How do I access myROGUE account?
If you entered your Social Security Number during the process of obtaining your RCC ID#, you can
use that instead of your RCC ID# for your log in.
If not, contact your high school’s RCC liaison who can assist you with retrieving your RCC ID#.
I’ve forgotten my RCC password and can’t log in. How do I access myROGUE account?
Click on “Forgot Password” on the MyROGUE login page (see link from RCC home page). The
system will email password reset instructions to you to the email address on file.
If you have also forgotten your email address that is associated with your account, check to see if
your parents have received an email. If you need to have the email account on file changed, contact
Rogue Central Services at 541-245-7858 or the Pathfinder Office at 541-245-7806.
My teacher offers dual credit through AP, SOU, and RCC. I am unsure of the difference between
the options. Which option do I choose?
Review the RCC-SOU-AP “Earn College Credit in this Class” flyer to explore your options (see
Appendix E, pg. 28). Students only need college credit one time for a class, and it is a personal
decision. Cost is an important factor; RCC COLLEGE NOW credits are free, whereas SOU
Advanced Southern Credits are discounted. The AP test also has a cost (unless you are exempt) and
college credit is only granted for AP scores if you perform at a score determined by your transfer
school.
I heard that taking dual credit college courses while in high school “starts the clock” on the
financial aid I can receive. Is this true?
The “clock” is not measured in years or months but in credits. Federal rules state that students:
Must complete a degree or certificate for no longer than 150% of the average credit length of their
program (not including up to 45 less than 100-level college credits)
Maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA, and
Successfully complete two-thirds of hours attempted to remain eligible for aid (pace needs to be
above 67%).
See also: Financial Aid Implications for Dual Credit Programs, page 19.
13
Section 2. Extended Options Program
Are you pursuing an RCC certificate or plan but not all of the courses are available through your high
school’s free COLLEGE NOW offerings?
Extended Options high school students take both COLLEGE NOW courses taught by high school faculty
and traditional RCC courses taught by RCC faculty at an RCC campus with the intention of completing an
RCC certificate or plan. High schools determine if the traditional RCC courses can be applied to high school
diploma requirements.
For example, high school students pursuing RCC’s Basic Health Care Career Pathways Certificate will need to take
HCI120, Introduction to the Health Care Industry, at RCC directly (either in person or online) because there is currently not
a COLLEGE NOW offering for this required course at area high schools.
All course prerequisites and placement tests apply to high school students just as they would for any
student. Such requirements are listed in the RCC course descriptions at
http://www.roguecc.edu/CourseDescriptions/.
The traditional RCC courses offered through Extended Options are:
RCC courses taught by RCC faculty.
Available to you at a discounted rate (provided the courses are arranged through the high school’s
liaison and billed to the high school).
In-person at one of the three RCC campuses or online.
It is your responsibility to apply to the college online, keep track of your RCC ID and password, register
yourself in course(s) with the permission code provided, take placement tests prior to term, watch add/drop
and other deadlines on the academic calendar, and work with your high school liaison to determine if the
courses will apply to your high school diploma. RCC is not responsible for monitoring your enrollment in
Extended Options courses.
Junior and senior high school students at Crater, Eagle Point, Rogue River, and Butte Falls high schools
who meet either low-income or first-generation college student status are encouraged to apply for the John
and Lillian Morris Foundation Scholarship each spring (see
http://go.roguecc.edu/department/pathfinder/john-and-lillian-morris-foundation-scholarship in
February/March of each year). The scholarship pays for the costs for traditional RCC courses for some
programs of study.
14
John and Lillian Morris Scholarship
The John and Lillian Morris Scholarship aims to assist high school students’ who wish to obtain certain
RCC certificate(s) prior to the graduating from high school.
Students granted this scholarship are Extended Options students—they utilize free COLLEGE NOW
courses available at their high school as well as traditional RCC courses to complete the certificate they are
pursuing. The scholarship covers tuition, class fees, and book costs for traditional RCC courses. Beginning
in 2015-16 students are asked to contribute $15 a term toward program costs. Students take classes both in-
person and online.
Qualifying Criteria and Application Process
The John and Lillian Morris Scholarship is open to high school students in their junior and senior high
school years at the following high schools:
o Butte Falls High School

o Eagle Point High School
o Rogue River High Schools
Preference is given to students who meet low-income criteria (qualify for free or reduced lunch or meet low-
income federal standards) or first-generation college student status (parent never earned bachelor’s degree).
The scholarship is for students with career interests that align with RCC certificates in the following areas:
Health Care fields (including EMT/Paramedic, Fitness Technician, Health Care Informatics,
Clinical Lab Assistant, Community Health, Nursing, Human Services, Massage Therapy, and
Dental, Medical or Nursing Assisting)
Industrial Technology (Manufacturing, Welding, Electronics, Hydraulics)
Business and Computers
Early Childhood Education

guides for approved certificates. Courses selected take into account student progress, course availability,
prerequisites, and book cost. Students are provided a registration permission code each term.
15
John and Lillian Morris Scholarship Student Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
Meeting the deadline to turn in the annual
Pathfinder Application for the John and
Lillian Morris Scholarship;
Completing the online admission process
to obtain an RCC ID/password;
Self-registering for courses each term;
Taking placement tests;
Communicating with your high school
liaison about how the classes will fit into
your schedule and for verification that the
courses apply to your high school
diploma.
Attending an orientation
Checking-out and returning all books
Being aware of the academic calendar
deadlines (especially drop deadlines).

maintaining consistent enrollment
throughout the academic year (register in
at least one class each term during the
high school academic year).
Administration and Funding of Scholarship
The John and Lillian Morris Foundation Scholarship is a limited-entry scholarship administered by
Pathfinder Staff in the Department of Educational Partnerships at Rogue Community College. This
scholarship is funded through the generosity of the Morris Family Foundation.
Student Testimonial
“Definitely the Morris scholarship made a huge difference. It was incredible. I’ve got a degree that didn’t
cost me anything other than food and transportation. It definitely takes focus but it’s well worth it. The
instructors make sure we understand. All are very good at what they do. I’d recommend it for a student who
wants to take a more focused approach. RCC lets you gain more responsibility and find out what the real
world is like. It’s for people who want to excel and try something harder… When I start at OIT, I’ll get to
skip the first year of a five-year program.”
—Jeremy Burke, June 2011 graduate from both Eagle Point High
School and Rogue Community College with an Associate of
Applied Science degree in electronics technology. That fall,
Jeremy began classes at Oregon Institute of Technology as a
sophomore.

Section 3. Early College Program
RCC’s Early College program is a dual enrollment program allowing students at participating high schools to
become full-time RCC students during their junior and/or senior high school years. Students first complete
the Oregon Transfer Module before completing the AAOT: Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree, or
other path as determined with their advisor. High schools oversee course selection and apply credit (as they
see fit) from the student’s RCC record to complete high school coursework and diploma.
See www.roguecc.edu/pathfinder for current list of participating high schools.
“Our partnership with Rogue Community College is one of our most exciting programs. Once a student has a solid academic
foundation and their self-confidence is intact we extend the horizon for our students. We have developed a program with Rogue
Community College that allows our students to earn an AA/OT (a 2 year university transferable college degree) concurrent
with their high school diploma. We have found this program creates unbelievable motivation, gives our students a strong sense of
accomplishment and allows them to ascertain ownership of their future.”
-Brighton Academy Website
How does it work?
High schools oversee course selection and high school diploma completion. Students first complete
the Oregon Transfer Module before completing the AAOT: Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer
degree.
Students are enrolled in traditional RCC courses taught by RCC faculty, either online or in-person.
The students’ grades in these courses are recorded on their RCC transcript as well as their high
school record.
Students have to meet all course placement and prerequisite requirements.
High schools are billed directly for the students’ courses at a discounted rate. Contact your high
school for information on student financial responsibility.
High schools purchase and order student textbooks. RCC provides some administrative support to
assist with this process.
RCC has a trained advisor, known as a Navigation Coach, available to work with high school
liaisons and Early College students.
A Pathfinder Application is required (see www.roguecc.edu/pathfinder). High schools must indicate
approval of the application.
It is the student’s responsibility to apply to the college online, keep track of their RCC ID and
password, register themselves in courses with the permission code provided, take placement tests
prior to the term, watch add/drop and other deadlines on the academic calendar, and work with

Section 4. STEM Academy
Rogue Community College’s S.T.E.M. Academy introduces local high school students to careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Students participate in hands-on workshops at an RCC campus, industry tours, fun activities, presentations, and career planning.
Some of the career fields covered in STEM Academy are:
• Automotive Technology • Carpentry • Computer Science/Graphic Design • Diesel Technology • Emergency Medical Technician • Electronics Technology • Fire Technology • Industrial Welding • Manufacturing/Engineering • Science - Laboratory Technician
STEM Academy has two components:
Launch into STEM: This program serves high schools in Jackson and Josephine counties. It is
designed to introduce 9th and 10th grade students to the different career options available to them in
STEM fields. They are invited to attend three sessions at RCC to explore fields in industrial
technologies, health care, science, business and computer systems. During these sessions students
are also introduced to concepts about college budgeting, RCC Career Pathways Certificates and
Roadmaps, and are given tours of the campus.
STEM Connections: This program is designed for 11th & 12th grade students that have attended
Launch into STEM and have an interest in a specific STEM career path. Three sessions are held
during the year; one for a.) industrial technologies, b.) health care and c.) business & computer
information systems. They are open to 40 students each with information given about the industry,
growth trends, and career options. Industry leaders and counseling/navigation coaches are made
available to discuss accelerated credits and dual credits.
RCC also offers summer STEM camps for both middle and high school students. Camps are typically
between two and four days long and feature sessions in a multitude of career fields.
If you are interested in STEM Academy, let your RCC high school liaison at your high school know and
complete the interest form at http://go.roguecc.edu/department/pathfinder/stem-academy.

Section 5: General Information for all Pathfinder programs
Add/Drop/Withdraw Deadline
The published add/drop deadline is…
published on the Academic Calendar. It is the second Wednesday after classes begin at 11:59 pm.
the last day that a student in COLLEGE NOW, Extended Options, or Early College programs can
add a class. Permission codes will not work after this day.
the last day that a student in any Pathfinder program may drop a class without the class appearing on
their RCC transcript. For Extended Options and Early College students, drops after this day result
in charges on student accounts/high school billing.
The published withdraw period:
The published withdraw period is published on the Academic Calendar. The withdraw period begins
the day after the add/drop deadline (second Thursday of the term) through the eighth Friday of fall,
winter, and spring terms (fifth Friday of summer term).
Withdraws during this time result in a “W” on a student’s transcript. Grades of “W” are not
included in GPA calculations. However, a student should avoid a lot of “W”s on their transcript for
financial aid implications (which can eventually impact satisfactory academic progress) and aesthetic
reasons.
After the withdraw deadline, the only option is to receive the grade earned.
Students are responsible for dropping or withdrawing as desired. To drop or withdraw from a course, log
into your myROGUE account and click on “Drop/Withdraw from Classes.” To verify that the course is
dropped, check your course schedule. The course will no longer show on the schedule if the drop was
successful. If necessary, contact your high school liaison or the RCC Pathfinder Office for assistance.
Failure to properly drop or withdraw from a course could result in a failing grade.
Advising COLLEGE NOW students should seek advising first from their high school counselors or high school’s
designated RCC liaison. COLLEGE NOW students are also welcome to contact RCC’s Advising Office to
arrange an appointment.
The Pathfinder Office Navigation Coach assists students in RCC’s Extended Options and Early College
programs to obtain the RCC resources and information needed to be successful and make sure that students
are making advising appointments with an RCC Advisor regularly.
19
Financial Aid Implications for Dual Credit Programs The credits high schools students earn through RCC’s Pathfinder programs may impact their eligibility for
future financial aid at RCC and other institutions. RCC encourages students to discuss this with Rogue
Central Services prior to enrolling.
It is important for students to realize that the college transcript they are building in high school is permanent
and can affect the student’s future ability to fund their post-high school education.
Students should be intentional about the courses and grades they allow to post to their college transcript.
We recommend that students only have passing grades of A, B, C and P (passing) on their college transcript.
Students should refer to drop policies and drop (or withdraw from) courses they will not be successful in
prior to the withdraw deadline.
A student with D’s, F’s and W’s on a college transcript may find that they are at risk of not meeting
Satisfactory Academic Progress standards when they apply for aid, which is defined by each college per
federal guidelines for financial aid awards (federal and state grants, student employment and student loans).
Students will want to ensure good academic progress on their RCC transcript. For financial aid reasons, this
means that students should have an RCC cumulative GPA above a 2.0, maintain a pace (completed credits/
attempted credits) of at least 66.67%, and complete their intended program within 150% of the number of
credits it requires (i.e. – if a student eventually intends to complete a 90 credit AA degree, they need to
complete it within 135 credits (90 credits x150%).
For further details regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress, contact RCC’s Rogue Central Services for
assistance with your financial aid questions.
Grading Grades Used in Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA):
A Superior 4
B Above Average 3
C Average 2
D Below Average 1
F No credit 0
Instructors may affix a plus or minus (+ or -) to the grades A through D. However, a plus or minus does not
affect GPA. A "D" grade will not satisfy prerequisite or program requirements at RCC.
Grading definitions:
Pass (“P”) or No Pass (“NP”) is used for most academic skills development classes. A “P” grade
indicates the student has earned a “C” or better.
Generally “P” and “NP” grades may not be used for students in core program courses, nor are "A"
through "F" grades used if students are in academic skills development classes.
Withdrawal (“W”) is assigned when students withdraw from a class after the second Wednesday of
the term. NOTE: Classes can be DROPPED through the second Wednesday of the term and will
not appear on the transcript. After the second Wednesday, a “W” will show on the transcript.
Grades of “W” are not included in GPA calculations.
Incomplete (“I”) is assigned when you have completed at least 75 percent of the coursework but a
20
prolonged excusable absence causes inability to finish the course by the end of the term.
Pending (“Y”) is used to indicate a grade has not been received from an instructor.
“Z” indicates no basis for grade (e.g., you do not attend beyond the first third of the scheduled class
meetings). If you attend beyond the first third of the scheduled class meetings a grade for the class
other than “Z” must be assigned.
Grades of I, Y, and Z are not used for COLLEGE NOW grading.
For grades of F, NP or Z, an instructor will report your last date of attendance, which may impact your
financial aid eligibility.
Grades are posted on your unofficial transcript on your myROGUE account according to the published
schedule. For dates, see section: Registration Deadlines and Important Dates, page 20, in this handbook or
the RCC Academic Calendar.
Homeschooled High School Students Homeschooled high school students may take RCC-faculty taught courses just as any other high school
student can. However, the discounts associated with RCC’s Extended Options and Early College programs
cannot be extended to home schooled students at this time, as the billing does not happen through a high
school (who has a contracted agreement). Homeschooled students are encouraged to contact a high school
participating in RCC’s Early College program for assistance.
International High School Students It is the international student’s responsibility to understand the limitations of their visa and if taking college
courses is allowed under the conditions of their visa. The RCC Pathfinder Program does not track a
student’s international status.
Placement Testing in the High Schools For your convenience, 1-2 staff members in your high school have been trained and approved as RCC
placement test proctors for the Accuplacer Exam.
Placement tests may be required for high school students in designated COLLEGE NOW classes (inquire
with your high school COLLEGE NOW instructor) and will be required for Early College and Extended
Options programs prior to enrollment. The test is free. You will need to obtain an RCC ID# by completing
the online RCC admission process prior to taking the placement test.
The test is untimed but usually takes about two hours to complete. You should print your scores
immediately following the test for future reference. Placement tests can only be repeated once in an
academic year.
High schools determine placement test dates. Inquire with your high school liaison to find out more
information about the RCC placement test administered at your high school.
Prior to the test, students are encouraged to review the Accuplacer sample questions. See Appendix D, pg.
27.
21
Privacy Policy RCC follows all applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations that apply to student records. At the
college level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student's education records. The right to inspect is
limited solely to the student under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) federal regulations.
Records may be released to the parents only under the following circumstances:
Authorizing RCC staff to talk to a family member/representative during Step 2 of the admissions
process;
With submission of the Underage Enrollment form or the Academic and Behavior FERPA Release
form;
Through the written consent of the student;
In compliance with a subpoena;
By submission of evidence that the parents declare the student as a dependent on their most recent
Federal Income Tax form (IRS Code of 1954, Section 152). In the case of a dependent student,
information may be exchanged without the written consent of the student for the sole purpose of
completing a student's financial aid application or the payment of tuition and fees.
RCC has FERPA and other agreements with each high school. These agreements comply with FERPA
provisions which allow student information to be shared between the college and high school in the interest
of serving students.
RCC Student E-mail
All RCC students are provided an RCC e-mail address and you are encouraged to set it up and use it. To do
so, log into myROGUE and see directions towards the bottom of the main screen titled “Student E-mail.”
Students who Experience Disabilities High schools and colleges operate under different guidelines (ADA and Section 504) for students with
disabilities. High schools operate under a success model where colleges operate under an access model.
Students enrolled in RCC’s various Pathfinder dual credit programs must meet the college requirements to
be eligible for the college credit. Reasonable adjustments in teaching methods and/or assessment delivery
that do not alter the essential content of a course may be possible, but all students must meet the student
learning outcomes and the assessment rigor of the course to be eligible for college credit.
Services for students who experience disabilities:
High school students taking COLLEGE NOW classes taught by high school teachers at the high
school are to work with their high school for accommodations or adjustments. Note: COLLEGE
NOW teachers are not to alter their curriculum as an accommodation for students receiving college credit.
High school students taking RCC courses taught by an RCC faculty member should contact RCC’s
Disability Services Office. http://www.roguecc.edu/DisabilityServices/
Student Conduct/Academic Honesty Students enrolled in Pathfinder dual credit programs, including COLLEGE NOW, are earning both high
school and college credit for COLLEGE NOW courses offered at the high school. Students therefore are
expected to follow student conduct policies of both the high school and the college. RCC student polices
are found at http://www.roguecc.edu/Students/StuRights/StudentRightsFreedomsResp.pdf
22
Transcripts Students registered for RCC courses through the various Pathfinder programs receive grades that are
recorded on their Rogue Community College transcript. Grades post to student transcripts on the
Wednesday following the end of the college term (see Academic Calendar).
You can access your unofficial transcript for Rogue Community College at any time:
Log into your myROGUE account online (from the RCC homepage at www.roguecc.edu, click on
the link “myROGUE”).
Click on “Unofficial Transcript” to view and/or print your courses and grades posted.
You can also access the official transcript request form from your myROGUE account.
Currently official transcripts cost $5 for one transcript plus $1 for each additional transcript per
order, and have a 10 day processing time. You should order an official transcript to be sent to other
institutions you plan to attend for transfer credit evaluation.
