JONES COLLEGE JONES COLLEGE

GENERAL INFORMATIONLOCATION

Ellisville, Mississippi, the home of Jones County Junior College (JC), is a city of approximately 4,500 residents. Ellisville is located just off Interstate 59, eight miles south of Laurel and 20 miles north of Hattiesburg, about 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico in the southeastern portion of the state. The climate is inviting, environmental conditions are good, and an excellent spirit of cooperation exists between citizens of the community and the College.

HISTORICAL SKETCHJones County Junior College had its beginning as an agricultural high school

in 1911 with an enrollment of eighty-five students and a faculty of five. In 1924, the Mississippi Legislature authorized the extension of courses offered in county agricultural high schools to include courses of college level. In 1927, Jones County Agricultural High School was one of the approximately fifty county agricultural high schools of the state offering some college work. The early campus centered on an administration and classroom building. All members of the 1927-1928 class were personally recruited by Mr. M. P. Bush, the high school superintendent, first college president, and driving force behind the establishment of JC.

With the interest and demand for college work verified, the 1928 Mississippi Legislature enacted a law authorizing the establishment of public junior colleges. This enactment, permitting the addition of two years of college work, enabled the school to become Jones County Agricultural High School and Junior College.

In 1957 Jones County Agricultural High School was separated from the junior college as a result of the reorganization plan for the public schools of the state of Mississippi. In its beginning, Jones County Agricultural High School and Junior College was supported by Jones County alone, but the junior college district expanded to include seven additional counties, each contributing college support. These additional counties are Clarke, Covington, Greene, Jasper, Perry, Smith, and Wayne.

FACULTYThe teaching faculty is integral to the health and educational productivity of Jones

College. Primarily concerned with instruction aimed at the needs of individual students, instructors attend professional meetings, workshops, and seminars and enroll in graduate courses on a periodic basis in order to remain current with new methods and thoughts in their educational fields.

MISSION Jones College (JC) is an open-door, two-year institution, granting Associate in Arts

degrees, Associate in Applied Science degrees, Career and Technical certificates, Adult Education credentials, and Workforce credentials. JC inspires greatness by providing higher education programs and support services consistent with the ideals of a democratic society in order to meet the higher education needs of the communities of interest through postsecondary programming, workforce and economic development, and community development. To pursue these ideals, JC provides (1) human, financial, and physical resources for quality programming; (2) higher education programs to meet the needs and interests of students; (3) workforce education solutions for business and industry to enhance economic development; (4) educational support services for teaching, learning, and higher education programming; and (5) quality development through continuous planning and assessment.

CLASS ATTENDANCE | 31

JONES COLLEGE JONES COLLEGEJONES COLLEGE

CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICIESRegular class attendance is a requisite if students are to succeed in their classes. All

students are expected to attend class meetings regularly and promptly. There is a policy of no cuts at Jones College. Since there are times when a student must be absent from classes, they should contact instructors prior to the absence if at all possible. Students are responsible for all work missed regardless of the cause of the absence. Students who miss an announced test will receive a zero on the test unless the instructor and a representative of the office of Student Affairs deems the absence to be of a justifiable nature.

Official AbsencesOfficial absences are those granted to students who are representing the school. The

College employee responsible for requesting official absences for students must submit the request to the Office of Student Affairs at least twenty-four hours prior to the absence. A notification of the official absence will be posted. However, students are responsible for notifying instructors in advance of any absence and making preparation for assignments.

With the exception of Official Absences, no absences are considered “Excused”. Students who miss announced work or tests will be subject to syllabus policy and must justify the absence to the instructor. Absences due to extended hospitalization, military deployment, or other reasons determined by the Office of Student Affairs to be justifiable, will be handled by the Dean of Students on a case-by-case basis.

Absences Due to Late RegistrationAbsences occurring from late registration are charged against the student’s total number

of absences from classes.

Liberal Arts/Attendance PolicyDay Class Absences When a student’s absences total the number of days the class is scheduled to meet per week, the Office of Student Affairs will notify the student that absenteeism is jeopardizing the student’s chances of success in the classroom. On the 7th absence (3-day-a-week-classes) or the 5th absence (2-day-a-week-classes) the student will be dropped from the course, and a grade of “W” will be recorded.

Online Absences Students in on-line courses will be notified after two absences that absences are jeopardizing their grade and enrollment. Students will be dropped from the class after three absences.

Evening Class Absences After two evening class absences for any cause, students are notified by the Office ofStudent Affairs that absences are jeopardizing their grades and enrollment. After the third absence, students will be dropped from the course with a grade of “W.” For up-to-date information regarding attendance and withdrawal policies, consult the Student Handbook at http://www.jcjc.edu/studentpolicies/docs/studenthandbook.pdf

FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)All students attending JC, whether or not they are financial aid recipients, will be

expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress towards their declared degree objective in order to receive federal financial aid. If satisfactory academic progress is not met, all federal financial aid, including Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans, will be terminated. Satisfactory academic progress will be measured based on the chart below:

Cumulative Semester Hours Attempted

Minimum Required Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)

Completion Rate/Percentage of Hours Passed

1 - 32 1.5 50%

33 - 63 1.75 67%

64+ 2.0 67%

The chart above does not apply to state or institutional scholarships that may require a higher GPA.

SAP measures three separate standards that are reviewed at the end of each semester of attendance by the Financial Aid Office based on the cumulative hours attempted:

1. Qualitative component that measures the minimum grade point average,2. Quantitative component that measures the pace of progression, and3. Maximum time frame of attendance in which the student must complete the degree

requirements. The review of the maximum time frame standards includes all institutional and transfer work that has been accepted by JC, including college course(s) attended while in high school.

Begin Again or Academic Amnesty does not apply when determining Financial Aid SAP.

FINANCIAL AID WARNING & SUSPENSION

Financial Aid Warning This status is assigned to a student the first time it is determined they have failed to meet

the SAP standards based on the level of enrollment. For each SAP measurement (GPA, Completion Rate, and 84 hours for Maximum Time frame), the first violation will result in the student receiving a warning. Students are only given one semester of warning for not meeting SAP standards during their enrollment at JC.

Financial Aid SuspensionThis status is assigned to a student that does not meet the SAP standards for a subsequent

semester based on their level of enrollment. When a student is determined to be on suspension, their financial aid eligibility will be revoked or denied.

Notification of Financial Aid Warning and Suspension will be mailed to students at the end of the semester.

OTHER JC FINANCIAL AID REGULATIONS

Appeal ProcedureStudents that are placed on suspension will be responsible for all charges incurred for

subsequent semesters of enrollment. Students may appeal for review by the Financial Aid Office by completing an appeal form that can be located on the Financial Aid website under the Forms tab. The appeal is to recognize extenuating circumstances that prevented students from meeting SAP standards. Upon receipt of the appeal, the Director, or Assistant Director, of Financial Aid will review the appeal. Once reviewed, students will be notified in writing the outcome of the appeal, whether approved or denied. If the student would like to appeal the decision, a request can be made with the Financial Aid Office.

If the appeal is approved, students will be considered on probation. Financial aid will then be awarded if all other financial aid requirements have been met. Students will remain in this status until the completion of the appeal time frame, as long as the student continues to meet the conditions of the appeal. Students who do not meet the conditions of the appeal will be placed back on financial aid suspension. An appeal will not be approved for a semester that has ended. If an appeal is approved, and the student has reached the maximum of Pell Grant lifetime eligibility (600% or equivalency of 12 full-time semesters), the appeal will not apply to the awarding of Pell Grant.

Census Date This is the date that the Financial Aid Office determines the final enrollment for the term. Adding and dropping courses before and after the census date may affect financial aid award amounts.

Determination of NeedThe information submitted on the FAFSA will be used in a federally mandated calculation

that determines what portion of students “cost of attendance” can be met through the students’ (and in the case of dependent students, the parents) resources. This figure is then subtracted from the cost of attendance during the appropriate period of enrollment. “Cost of attendance” is based on average costs for tuition and fees, room and board (even for commuter students), books and supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses. This figure minus the expected family contribution (EFC) equals the documented limit for need-based financial aid. Once the documented limit is determined, awards are made by the Financial Aid Office based on the students’ eligibility for aid and the amount of need-based funds available. See calculation of financial need below:

Cost of Attendance (COA) - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need

Disbursement of AwardsFederal, state, and other financial aid will be credited to the student’s account by the JC

FAO. Any books, supplies, miscellaneous fees, and bobcat bucks (to the extent of funds available) may be allowed to be charged against the student’s account if authorized. All refunds to students, over the above charges, will be disbursed to the students based on the refund method selected with the business office. Additional information on refunds can be found at www.jcjc.edu/refunds. Student refund dates will be posted on the Jones

Dual Enrolled Students Dual enrolled college students are not eligible to receive Title IV aid at two institutions. Dual enrolled high school students are not eligible for financial aid.

Duration of Pell Grant Eligibility The maximum allowable time a student may receive pell grant funds is the equivalent of twelve (12) full-time semesters effective the 2012-2013 school year.

Grievance Policy Students have the option to file a grievance with the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation.

This process does not apply to complaints related to student grades or discipline/conduct matters. More information on filing a grievance can be found at http://www.mississippi.edu/mcca/student_complaint_process.asp

Incomplete GradesIncomplete grades that are assigned with a letter grade of “I” must be completed within

six weeks of the end of the semester. If the “I” is not changed after the six-week period, the incomplete grade will be considered an “F” grade when reviewing the SAP standards.

Non-High School Graduates Students who enroll on or after July 1, 2012, are required to have a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent. Students may receive Title IV aid if they demonstrate the ability to benefit from the academic program, and are enrolled in an eligible career pathway program as defined in the Higher Education Act.

Reinstatement of Eligibility Students that have been placed on suspension for GPA or Completion Rate can reinstate

their financial aid eligibility by meeting the general SAP standards when attending at least half-time based on the level of enrollment when the SAP standards are checked at the end of the semester(s). Students that have reached the maximum time frame are not eligible for reinstatement of financial aid eligibility without an appeal.

Remedial CourseworkStudents that are enrolled in remedial coursework will still be held to the same SAP

standards. The remedial coursework will be calculated in SAP standards. Students may receive financial aid for 30 attempted remedial credit hours.

Repeated CourseworkAll repeated coursework will be included in the SAP review. A student may receive

federal financial aid for a repeat course only once if the course was previously passed. This is for instances when a student is attempting the course again for grade improvement. Students repeating failed coursework will continue to receive federal student aid, however the failed courses will affect SAP. Career and Technical programs are not subject to the same regulations for repeated coursework. Contact the Financial Aid Office for additional guidance if needed.

Return of Title IV FundsThe U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Amendment Act of 1998,

requires that a school return all unearned Title IV aid when recipients withdraw from school. Students who withdraw from all classes prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will have their aid recalculated based on the percentage of the term completed. Federal Title IV Financial Aid includes: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Direct Student Loans.

Priority DateThe Financial Aid Priority Date for JC is generally April 1 each year. Information must

be processed by the federal office, and all necessary paperwork must be submitted to the Enrollment Services by this date.

Program of StudyStudents are expected to enroll in courses pertaining to their college major.

Transfer students seeking a degree at JC are eligible to receive financial aid if eligibility requirements are met.

Transient/Guest StudentsPlease contact the Jones Enrollment Services for additional information.

WithdrawalsWithdrawals will be included in the total attempted hours, however these hours will

not be considered earned when determining GPA. The withdrawal of courses will be included in the determination of the Completion Rate.

Rules and regulations are subject to change.

JONES COLLEGE

INSTRUCTIONAL AFFAIRSGENERAL INFORMATION

College programs are broadly supervised by the Vice President of Instructional Affairs and Assessment, Dean of Academic Affairs, Dean of Career and Technical Education, Dean of Honors College, and Assistant-Vice President of Instructional Affairs. These administrators are supported by the Vice President of Business Affairs, Vice President of Student Affairs, division chairpersons, and Dean of Workforce College personnel. The College is organized into the following instructional divisions: Business and Technology; Fine Arts; Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; Humanities; Mathematics; Science; Social Science; Agricultural Services; Health and Human Services; Industrial Services; and Associate Degree Nursing.

THE COLLEGE YEARCurricula and courses at Jones College are generally presented within the framework

of the semester system. Fall and spring semesters make up the traditional academic year, though students may pursue degree requirements on a year round basis by attending summer 2 week, 4 week, and 9 week sessions.

STUDENT CLASSIFICATIONStudents at Jones College are classified as either Freshman or Sophomore. A student is

classified as a freshman when they are working toward, or have zero to twenty-nine (0-29) semester hours’ credit. Students who have earned thirty (30) semester hours’ credit and above are classified as sophomores.

STUDENT ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITIES All colleges establish certain requirements which must be met before a degree is granted.

These regulations concern such things as curricula and courses, majors, and campus residence requirements. Advisors, counselors, faculty, and deans will inform students concerning these requirements, but students themselves are ultimately responsible for being acquainted with regulations and procedures as stated in the Catalog, Student Handbook, and other official publications of the College. For these reasons, it is important for students to be familiar with these publications and remain currently informed throughout their college careers.

COURSE LOADThe minimum course load for full-time students is 15 semester credit hours, and the

maximum course load is 19 semester credit hours. Students wishing to enroll in more than 19 semester credit hours must receive approval from the Vice President of Instructional Affairs. In determining their course loads, students should be aware that each hour of class usually demands two hours per week of outside preparation.

COURSE CHANGESChanges in schedules include withdrawal from a course(s) or addition of a new course(s).

Beginning the first day of class, students wanting to make course changes must go to Enrollment Services to process the change.

JONES COLLEGE JONES COLLEGEPROGRAM CHANGES

Jones College reserves the right to change its program curriculum at any time during the academic year based on changes in local, state and federal policy. These changes will be approved by JC’s Educational Program Advisory Committee. The most current copy of JC’s Catalog can be found at www.jcjc.edu.

ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION Jones College seeks to provide an environment suitable for promoting the systematic

pursuit of learning. The College requires of its students, reasonable academic progress. The retention of those students who repeatedly demonstrate a lack of ability, industry, maturity, and preparation would be inconsistent with this requirement. If a course is repeated, only the hours and the best grade are used in computing the grade point average.

Academic probation and suspension regulations apply equally to all students. Suspensions may be appealed to the Admissions Committee. If an appeal is denied, the student may then follow DUE PROCESS PROCEDURES as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Academic Probation Academic probation officially recognizes that a student is making unsatisfactory

progress and is in need of help. Academic probation is designed to serve a four-fold purpose: to indicate that the quality of academic achievement is below the standards required in progressing satisfactorily toward graduation or transfer, to make clear to all concerned of the shortcomings of a student’s performance, to provide occasion for necessary counseling, and to give students the opportunity to demonstrate adequate performance.

Academic Probation Regulations

1. Students whose term grade point average at the end of any semester is below a 1.75.

2. Students currently on probation whose term grade point average is below a 2.0 will remain on academic probation.

Students placed on academic probation will be required to meet the Admissions Committee for academic counseling at the beginning of the subsequent semester. Probation may be lifted by achieving a 2.0 term GPA the subsequent semester.

Academic SuspensionAcademic suspension is a penalty imposed after a student has been allowed every

reasonable opportunity to make satisfactory progress. The academic suspension period will provide an opportunity for students to reconsider their approaches to a college career or to make necessary adjustments in attitudes concerning the academic demands of college life.

Academic Suspension Regulations. 1. Students whose term grade point average is below 1.5 while they are on

academic probation.

Page 51: COURSE CATALOG - Jones County Junior College · Jones County Junior College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award

50 | INSTRUCTIONAL AFFAIRS

JONES COLLEGE

2. Students who remain on academic probation for three consecutive semesters. a. A first suspension will be for one semester. (Does not include summer) b. The second suspension will be for one calendar year.

Readmission ProceduresReadmission is initiated through the Admissions Committee. Procedures are outlined

in the Student Handbook.

VIOLATIONS OF CODE OF CONDUCT AND/OR PROGRAM STANDARDS MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.

WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGEThe permanent record of a student withdrawing from the College is not complete until they

have officially withdrawn. The correct procedure is to consult with the Enrollment Services to secure and complete an official withdrawal form. The withdrawal will then become part of the student’s permanent record. Students who leave school without following this procedure will be subject to all applicable tuition and fees. Students should withdraw in person and see that their withdrawal forms are signed by the proper officials. However, in extenuating circumstances, students may withdraw by completing the process through Enrollment Services by contacting them face to face, phone, or email.

COURSE REPEATSStudents may repeat courses at Jones College to improve their GPAs. The best grade earned

in a course will be the official grade. Students repeating a class taken prior to 1985 should contact the Admissions and Records Office to insure the best grade earned will be the official grade. Students should be aware that senior institutions develop their own acceptance policies on repeats.

JC BEGIN AGAINJones College encourages the enrollment of previous students who have decided to continue

their education. For students whose grades were inadequate during previous enrollment, JC’s Begin Again is a way to dismiss previous grades from consideration when computing grade point average at Jones.

Begin Again requirements: 1. The student must complete a request for Begin Again and submit it to the registrar. 2. Begin Again may be declared only one time. 3. The student must not have been enrolled for five consecutive years (60 months). 4. Federally funded financial aid may still be denied based on old grades. Begin Again GPA

calculations are for JC academic matters only. 5. The student will not be allowed to specify the grades that will be forgiven. NO grades

prior to the initial Begin Again semester will be counted for graduation or grade point average calculation. All grades will remain on the transcript with a special notation for forgiven grades.

6. Student must enroll and complete one successful semester at Jones before Begin Again calculations will take effect.

INSTRUCTIONAL AFFAIRS | 51

JONES COLLEGE JONES COLLEGE7. Other colleges or universities may not honor the Begin Again GPA. Please check with

individual institutions for their policies. 8. A student who has received a degree or certificate is not eligible for Begin Again. 9. The registrar is responsible for providing the necessary interpretations on questions not

expressly answered in this policy.

AUDITING COURSESStudents may be permitted to audit courses depending upon available space. Fees for auditing

a course are the same as for regular registration for a course. Students interested in auditing a course should contact the Vice President of Instructional Affairs.

CREDIT FOR COURSE WORKTRANSFER CREDIT

All course work transcribed at a regionally accredited institution will be placed on a student’s permanent record as maintained by this college. The Admissions and Records Office will notify transfer students of the amount of the credit which will transfer prior to the end of the first term in which they are enrolled. All grades of “D” or above will be accepted as hours attempted and passed. Developmental course work (classes considered below college level) transferred from outside institutions cannot be applied as hours passed toward a degree. Credit earned at a non-regionally accredited institution will not be recognized for transfer credit.

Students must maintain an accumulative GPA of 2.0 or above when all transfer courses used to meet degree requirements are averaged with course work completed at Jones College.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATIONJones College will allow students to earn credit by examination under one or more of the

following programs for up to a total of 30 semester hours:

1. College Level Examination Program - General ExaminationJones College will allow credit examination to those students who have been out of high

school for at least 3 years and have never enrolled in a college level class for the General Examination area. The Admissions and Records Office will determine a person’s eligibility to receive credit. A student who has earned over 30 semester hours of college credit may not earn additional credit through the use of this examination. Credit will be granted for successful completion of the examination in the following manner:

JONES COLLEGE JONES COLLEGENote: Some Advanced Placement tests cover such specific and well-defined areas that only

3 semester hours credit may be awarded despite a score of 5. Advanced Placement credit awarded by Jones College may not be accepted by other educational institutions. Students should consult transfer institutions to determine acceptable credit.

3. Credit By Examination -Nationally Recognized CredentialsCredit-By-Examination (CBE) provides multiple entry points into a number of Career and

Technical programs as a non-duplicative sequence of technical skill proficiency for programs aligned to nationally recognized credentials. Where possible, CBE provides a career pathway into credit-bearing postsecondary CTE programs and attainment of an industry recognized credential, certificate, diploma, or degree. In order for CBE participants to gain college credit, he/she must meet college admission standards for the career or technical program in which he/she is entering. For those who have successfully completed the nationally recognized credential, the participant will provide documented proof of a valid and current certification or credential. The credit will be awarded after the student completes one semester in the same program in which the CBE applies. To determine if a program offers CBE services, please refer to that particular program in the college catalog.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNINGJones College will award credit to veterans after an evaluation by the Office of Admissions and

Records. As an accredited institution and a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges(SACSCOC), Jones College is the final authority for assessing and transcribing credit for military training and experience. Jones College’s established policy for the assessment and transcription of credit for military training and experience supersedes ACE credit recommendations and those of any other organization.

Award of credit for military training and experience is based upon official documentation. Acceptable documents for assessment of military training and experience are: Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript (AARTS), and Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART) System.

Note: The Community College of the Air Force is a SACSCOC accredited school and therefore is treated as college transfer work. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all records.

Documentation becomes part of the student’s academic record and becomes the property of Jones College. All documentation will be submitted to and evaluated by the Registrar’s Office.

The Registrar’s Office will determine credit as being career, technical, or academic in nature as well as the number of credit hours awarded to the student. If a student plans on using credit toward the Associate of Applied Science degree, Technical Certificate, or Career Certificate, the student’s primary instructor must complete any appropriate course substitution forms.

Credit will not be placed on the student’s transcripts until the student has completed 12 semester hours.

EVENING CLASSES

An evening college program is offered throughout the year. This program is diversified to meet the needs of students served by the College.

JONES COLLEGE

DISTANCE EDUCATIONThe Jones College (JC) eLEARNING program has removed the barriers of location and time,

making a college education accessible and affordable for every student at any age. Distance learning courses allow students who do not have the flexibility to attend traditional on-campus classes to pursue their educational goals. Distance learning courses also offer students taking on-campus courses a more flexible class schedule. Distance education allows everyone the opportunity to access higher education.

eLEARNING at JC is delivered through Canvas with educational support for each student. Students will work independently at their own pace and interact through various communication tools and technologies. Except for exams, regular campus attendance is not required.

JC is a member of the Mississippi Virtual Community College (MSVCC), which provides internet-based courses statewide. MSVCC is a consortium of Mississippi’s junior/community colleges. Through MSVCC, students may take courses from the other community/junior colleges while getting support services from JC, as long as the course is in the course catalog. To take a course from another (remote) college, a student enrolls at a local (JC) junior/community college. The local college provides the best of on-campus support with student services, including advisement and counseling, financial aid, and learning resources. The remote college provides the course and instruction while the local college awards the credit for the course.

Jones offers two formats for distance education – online and hybrid.Online Hybrid

GRADING SYSTEMGrades and Credit Hours

Credit for each course is awarded in terms of semester hours. The number of credit hours awarded for each course normally conforms to the number of contact class hours per week. An exception occurs in laboratory and clinical work. Two hours of lab is a one credit hour value and three hours clinical is a one credit hour value. Credit hours for courses will be granted at the completion of each semester. Partial credit will not be granted for any period during the semester.

The following possible grades and corresponding quality represent the instructor’s final evaluation of a student’s performance in a course:

Page 56: COURSE CATALOG - Jones County Junior College · Jones County Junior College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award

INSTRUCTIONAL AFFAIRS | 55

JONES COLLEGE JONES COLLEGE

A - Excellent; 4 quality points per semester hourB - Good; 3 quality points per semester hourC - Average; 2 quality points per semester hourD - Below Average; 1 quality point per semester hourF - Failure without privilege of re-examination; 0 quality pointsU - Audit; 0 quality pointsI - Incomplete; must be removed within six weeks as directed by the instructor or grade becomes an “F”W -Withdrawn on or before designated date according to the college calendar

A grade report of “I” (incomplete) at the end of any course represents failure to complete some of the requirements of the course. An “I” requires the subsequent completion of all requirements in the course within six weeks following the end of the semester in which the course was taken; otherwise, a grade of “F” is automatically recorded. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange with his/her instructor for completion of course requirements in accordance with this regulation.

Divisions within the College must establish standards of performance expressed in percentages and inform students of grading procedures for each class.

EXAMINATIONSThe final examination schedule is published at the end of each semester, and students will be

given a comprehensive final examination based on course objectives.

GRADE POINT AVERAGEFor the purpose of graduation, students must obtain a “C” average, which according to the grade

point system adopted, would be a 2.0 average. This average is figured on the total quality points earned divided by the total number of semester hours attempted. Grades of “W,” “WP,” or “U” do not count in the grade-point average. All other courses attempted are included in the average.

GRADE REPORTSStudents are notified of their academic status at mid-term of each semester. Faculty advisors are

available to advisees to discuss academic performance. At the end of each semester, grade reports are made available to students through their online account. Appeals associated with final grades must be received in writing by the Vice President of Student Affairs within 30 days following the end of the term in which the grade was assigned.

HONORSAt the end of each semester, special recognition is given to students for outstanding academic

achievement. Honors are based on grade point averages. President’s List – 4.0 Deans’ List – 3.5 or above Faculty List – 3.0 or above

GENERAL EDUCATION CORE COMPETENCIES FOR GRADUATES ARE AS FOLLOWS:Critical Thinking - Students will demonstrate competency in applying critical thinking skills to solve problems, make informed decisions and interpret events. Mathematical Reasoning - Students will demonstrate competency in mathematical reasoning through mastery of understanding and reasoning necessary for solving math problems. Communications - Students will demonstrate competency in written and oral communication through mastery of the mechanics of writing and organizational skills.

Goldblatt, Dr. V. Johnson, Ms. L. Keay, Ms. P. Pierce, Dr. T. Sanchez, Dr. Susan Smith, Mr. G. Wascoe

The Division of Fine Arts includes the areas of Art and Music and provides students with two years of preparation for professional performing or teaching careers in one of the many areas of art or music. Opportunities are provided for students from all divisions of the college to participate in numerous art and music organizations.

ART (UNIVERSITY PARALLEL)Pre-Studio Art/Art Education

The courses offered in art provide a foundation for visual arts majors who plan to transfer, after two years, to a senior college or university. The curriculum includes courses leading to the Associate in Arts degree with emphasis in the visual arts and additional courses that offer cultural growth to those living within the college area. The courses are also designed to encourage participation of non-art majors. All art majors must take the foundation courses Drawing I and Design I during their first semester, followed by Drawing II and Design II the following semester to ensure transfer of credits. These classes are also pre-requisites to other art studio courses, (3-D Design, Painting I and Painting II, Ceramics I and Ceramics II). Art majors must take the freshman level courses in sequence in order to receive proper transfer credit and must take Exhibition Class each semester enrolled as an art major at JC. Each semester art majors must enroll in art classes and submit a portfolio for jury by art faculty. Scholarships available to freshmen and returning students are usually awarded based on the quality of the student’s portfolio and are decided on an individual basis. Transfer credits to four-year institutions can be based on the quality of student work; therefore, all art majors are required to participate in juries (portfolio review) at the end of each semester. Juries are necessary for art faculty to ensure progress and to advise in the preparation of portfolios. The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs. In addition, an academic advisor may recommend additional or different courses depending upon student career plans and/or requirements of the college or university to which the student plans to transfer.Freshman Year Credit HoursFall SemesterART 1313 Drawing I.......................................................................................................3ART 1433 Design I .........................................................................................................3ART 1811 Exhibition Class I ..........................................................................................1PSY 2553 Psychology of Personal Adjustment ..............................................................3ENG 1113 English Composition I ..................................................................................3BIO 1114 Principles of Biology I ...................................................................................4Total Hours ....................................................................................................................17Spring SemesterART 1323 Drawing II ....................................................................................................3ART 1443 Design II .......................................................................................................3ART 1821 Exhibition Class II ........................................................................................1ENG 1123 English Composition II .................................................................................3MAT 1313 College Algebra (or higher math) ................................................................3BIO 1124 Principles of Biology II .................................................................................4

MUSIC (UNIVERSITY PARALLEL)Music Education/Performance

The music department offers university-parallel courses leading to the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music Education degrees with the following majors: performance, music education, church music, music therapy, or music industry. Students must select an emphasis of guitar, piano, vocal music or instrumental music. Music courses are designed to parallel courses in the music areas of the freshman and sophomore years of any senior college or university and fully prepare students to enter their junior year of study.

Freshman and transfer students must take a placement examination in music theory, and must audition in their applied music major. Based upon the results of the placement examination, students will be placed in either Music Theory I or Fundamentals. Upon successful completion of Fundamentals, the student will be allowed to enroll in the required theory sequence beginning with Theory I. The student’s major instructor will determine applied placement based upon the student’s prior study, technical facility, and knowledge of pre-college level literature. The student may be required to repeat an applied level, or study at a non-major level until sufficient progress has been made to meet minimum requirements for specified learning outcomes.

Music majors are required to enroll in MUS 1911, MUS 1921, MUS 2911, and MUS 2921, participate in a performance ensemble, study piano (class or applied) and take lessons in their major applied area every semester in attendance at JC. Instrumental and Vocal Education majors must take piano as their minor applied music. Piano majors may take either voice or an instrument as the minor applied, but voice is recommended.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATIONAdmission to the senior college does not constitute admission to a teacher education

program. Students who desire to be admitted to a professional education program must first have successfully passed Praxis I, either the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST) or the Computer Based Test (CBT). These students would typically be in their sophomore year and would be preparing to be in the normal sequence of professional education courses in their junior year. A 2.50 minimum GPA on the general 44 semester-hour core curriculum (a requirement by the State Department of Education) must be achieved. USM requires a 2.65 GPA and MSU a 2.75 GPA, rather than the state-approved minimum 2.5 GPA.

A grade of D in a class in the elementary education curriculum usually requires that the course be repeated. USM requires a C or better in English Composition I, English Composition II, World Literature, and College Algebra. Students transferring to USM must choose one area of endorsement for the K-6 Elementary Education major (reading is the required second endorsement for all elementary education majors at USM). William Carey requires a C or better in English Composition I, English Composition II, and the students’ chosen endorsement area courses. Students transferring to William Carey must take an English proficiency test. Students who fail this test must take an English review class at William Carey. Students may be admitted without these tests if they have attained the minimum scores set by the Mississippi State Department of Education on the ACT (Composite 21 with no subscore below 18). These scores must be attained while the student is in high school. Students planning to attend MSU must have no grade below a C in math, Composition I, Composition II, and the students’ chosen endorsement area courses and must show evidence of 40 documented hours of working with children.

The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs. In addition, an academic advisor may recommend additional or different courses depending upon student career plans and/or requirements of the college or university to which the student plans to transfer.Freshman YearFall Semester Credit HoursPSY 2553 Psychology of Personal Adjustment ..............................................................3MAT 1313 College Algebra ............................................................................................3Any Lab Science .............................................................................................................4ENG 1113 English Composition I ..................................................................................3HIS 1113 Western Civilization I .....................................................................................3Total Hours ....................................................................................................................16Spring Semester Credit HoursHIS 1123 Western Civilization II ....................................................................................3ENG 1123 English Composition II .................................................................................3Any Lab Science ............................................................................................................4PSY 1513 General Psychology or Sociology .................................................................3HPR 1213 Personal and Community Health ..................................................................3Total Hours ....................................................................................................................16Sophomore YearFall Semester Credit HoursGEO 1123 World Geography ..........................................................................................3

Science. A minimum of one course each in biological and physical sciences is required in the elementary education core curriculum at UM followed by an elective in either of these two areas or in math. MSU transfers should have a total of 12 semester hours of laboratory science courses, including 6 hours of physical science and 3 hours of biological science. USM requires 8 hours of lab science in any two science areas. USM also requires that elementary education majors who choose science as an area of endorsement must take an additional 10 hours in science from the biological and physical sciences.

Social Science. For USM, Human Growth & Development, psychology, geography and 3 hours of western civilization are required courses. Elementary Education majors

PHYSICAL THERAPY Physical therapy is NOT an academic major. It is a professional program of study

that students apply for after completing a bachelor’s degree, usually in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, kinesiology, exercise science, etc). Admission is competitive and requires a superb academic record. The following academic plan is based on requirements at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and William Carey University. Requirements for other schools can vary widely, and students are advised to consult the school of their choice for current requirements. The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs. In addition, an academic advisor may recommend additional or different courses depending upon student career plans and/or requirements of the college or university to which the student plans to transfer.

2Students are limited to 64 total transferable hours at USM for this program. Students may elect to forgo this class at JC and complete it at USM so that all other hours will transfer.

VETERINARY MEDICINE“Pre-veterinary medicine” is NOT an undergraduate major. Students will need to se-

lect an academic major in order to earn a bachelor’s degree in preparation for applica-tion to this professional program. Most students interested in these careers major in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, animal science, poultry science, etc.), but students can major in any field as long as application requirements are met according to the professional school’s specifications. The curriculum below is based on application requirements at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University. Students should consult with the school of their choice for specific guidelines, GPA requirements, etc. Any veterinary program will require superb aca-demic performance, a rigorous core of math and science courses, and a demonstrated interest in animal health.The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs.

1Certain undergraduate majors may require additional math beyond trigonometry, including one or two semesters of calculus. MSU vet school requirements are a minimum of 6 hours in math, with college algebra being the lowest level accepted.

2General Chemistry I and II are required for vet school and as prerequisites for Organic Chemistry I and II. Students may elect to take both General Chemistry I and II over the summer to avoid a heavy class load during the spring semester.

3MSU vet school will accept an undergraduate major-specific junior or senior level technical writing course in place of the formal speech course. Certain undergraduate majors may also have alternate requirements/options for speech.

4BIO 2924 Microbiology is an application requirement for MSU vet school. Students may elect to take it at JC or at their senior college. Students that wish to take it at JC may elect to do so by delaying the sequence of organic chemistry or physics, taking it in place of the formal speech course (if there are alternatives for satisfying this requirement), or taking it during a summer semester.

VETERINARY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY (B.S.)This curriculum aligns with the requirements for the bachelor’s degree in veterinary

medical technology offered by the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. Students should consult the website and other official publications from this program for additional application requirements. Students wishing to use this as a pre-professional preparation for veterinary school (to earn ultimately the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree) will be required to take additional science courses, as designated in the official “Veterinary Medicine” curriculum plan. Also see notes below.The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs. In addition, an academic advisor may recommend additional or different courses depending upon student career plans and/or requirements of the college or university to which the student plans to transfer.

JONES COLLEGE

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATIONMr. Rod Tolbert, Dean of Career and Technical Education and Mrs. Candace Weaver, Vice President of Instructional Affairs and Assessment.

The Career and Technical Education Division provides many programs and training that offer career certificates, technical certificates, and Associate of Applied Science degrees. Career and technical works closely with the workforce division to apply training and skills toward career pathways within career and technical programs.

Career/technical courses and programs offer highly skilled and technical educational opportunities that meet the specialized needs of individuals, communities, and businesses.

Courses in Career and Technical Education are sequenced and designed to prepare students for employment in current and emerging careers not requiring a baccalaureate or advanced degree. All courses include competency-based applied learning that contributes to an individual’s academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning, and problem-solving skills. The competencies, coupled with specific skills training, prepare an individual to attain economic independence and a purposeful life. Career and technical education courses may be applied toward a career certificate, technical certificate, or an Associate of Applied Science degree.

Technical programs include a minimum of fifteen hours of academic course work for the Associate of applied Science degree. All technical students must be actively pursuing an Associate in Applied Science degree by following the outlined curriculum for the selected major. Any deviation from an outlined curriculum must be approved in writing prior to enrollment by the instructor, the program’s Dean, and the Vice President of Instructional Affairs. Some technical programs offer certificate options as well as an Associate in Applied Science degree. Certificate and degree options for programs may be found on the JC website under each program. Students pursuing one of these certificate options may be required to attend training provided by Student Service Coordinators to improve basic skills in the areas of reading, math and/or language.

Career programs are organized and planned for twenty-two to thirty clock hours of instruction per week. These curricula are designed as terminal programs that qualify students as entry-level craftsmen. All full-time students in career classes must register for the number of hours set forth in their curriculum. The curriculum is listed in the catalog. Some curriculums may go through revisions. The most current curriculum for each career and technical program may be viewed on the website under each specific program. Any deviation from curriculum as stated in the catalog must be approved by the instructor, the Dean of Career and Technical Education, and the Vice President of Instructional Affairs.

STUDENT TOOL POLICYStudents entering a career or technical program are required to have tools and/or equipment

designed to aid them in meeting the course objectives. For each of the programs that require tools or equipment, a list will be given to the student at orientation, registration, or the first day of class. Deadline dates for tool possession differ among programs because of course content and objectives.

Students who do not have tools by the deadline date will be marked absent each day thereafter. Absentees will follow the career education attendance policy. After being dropped, re-entry will be considered on an individual basis if the student acquires the tools.

TEXTBOOK POLICYAll students are required to have textbooks during the first week of class. The textbooks

are essential for course study.

The Career and Technical Education Division’s philosophy is that all students deserve a chance to be successful in a chosen field of study. It has been determined that individuals who are deficient in certain basic skills will experience measurable degrees of difficulty in coping with the technical information requirements of the skill training programs. Supplementary services are provided to students identified as special populations upon enrollment in career or technical programs and preparatory services are provided to assist individuals seeking to qualify for career or technical programs. Special populations include the following: individuals with disabilities; individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children; individuals preparing for non-traditional training and employment; single parents (teens and adults), including single pregnant girls and women; displaced homemakers; and individuals with barriers to educational achievement including individuals with limited English proficiency.

The Student Support Services program was established to provide individual and small group tutoring services to special populations’ students enrolled in career and technical programs. The purpose is to strengthen deficiencies in basic academic skills and to provide support services to help facilitate the transition from college to employment. The program is equipped with special materials for strengthening mathematical, reading, language, and communication skills. These educational services are provided for any Career and Technical Education student who is identified as meeting the criteria for Special Populations.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY – PARAMEDIC

PurposeThe purpose of the Emergency Medical Technology program is to adequately prepare

students to function as entry-level pre-hospital professional healthcare providers.

Program DescriptionThe Emergency Medical Technology Program prepares the student to provide

competent pre-hospital emergency care to acutely ill or injured patients under the direction of a physician. The program provides opportunities for the student to gain cognitive ability, psychomotor skills and professional attributes necessary to function as a pre-hospital emergency care provider. Students satisfactorily completing the EMT coursework will receive a recommendation to sit for the National Registry Examination (EMT). Upon successful completion of the paramedic curriculum, the student will receive a Technical Certificate in Paramedicine with option to complete the academic requirements necessary to obtain an Associate of Applied Science Degree. The student will receive a recommendation for the National Registry Paramedic Examination at the completion of their training.

The mission of the Department of Emergency Medical Technology is to ensure each student receives the best training available to produce qualified, competent, industry-ready Emergency Medical Technicians. Classroom training is provided by dedicated instructors who meet the requirements set forth by Jones County Junior College (JCJC), Career and Technical Education Division (CTE), and the Mississippi State Department of Education (MSDOE). In addition to the faculty, pre-selected clinical and field-internship preceptors, a variety of media resources, and high-fidelity training equipment are used to enhance learning opportunities.

Carrying out this mission requires teamwork between the college, program, clinical education centers the student. As an EMT or paramedic student, your role will be to dedicate yourself to increasing your knowledge of patient care, basic and advanced life-saving skills, and professionalism. Your own personal contribution towards your education is the most important part of accomplishing this mission, and the decision to succeed or to fail is in your hands.

Classroom instruction is comprehensive including a working knowledge of all anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiological processes as well as competency-based instruction in assessment and management skills required for treatment of life-threatening problems in the adult, pediatric, and geriatric patient. Clinical internship requires participation in care of patients in a hospital emergency department that provides medical control to ALS providers in the field and, according to availability, CCU, ICU, labor and delivery suite, operating room, psychiatric ward, pediatric ward, and geriatric ward. Field internship is done with an ambulance service and/or rescue service providing advanced life support services to the community.

The first semester consists of the EMT courses and academic prerequisites which are offered each semester. The curriculum for the paramedic is four semesters beyond the EMT course. Paramedic classes are admitted each fall on a competitive entrance basis.

To be eligible for an Associate of Applied Science degree, the student must successfully complete Anatomy and Physiology I and II, College Algebra, English Composition I & II, Oral Communications, Social Science Elective, EMT courses and all paramedic courses.

This education program is sanctioned by the Mississippi State Board of Health. The course meets or exceeds those standards established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration/U.S. Department of Transportation.

Profession of Paramedicine DescriptionParamedics have fulfilled prescribed requirements by a credentialing agency to

practice the art and science of out-of-hospital medicine in conjunction with medical direction. Through patient assessments and providing medical care, their goal is to prevent and reduce mortality and morbidity due to illness and injury. Paramedics primarily provide care to emergency patients in an out-of-hospital setting. Paramedics possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes consistent with the expectations of the public and the profession. Paramedics recognize that they are an essential component of the continuum of care and serve as linkages among health resources. 4

Paramedics strive to maintain high quality, reasonable cost health care by delivering patients directly to appropriate facilities. As an advocate for patients, paramedics seek to be proactive in affecting long term health care by working in conjunction with other provider agencies, networks and organizations. The emerging roles and responsibilities of the paramedic include public education, health promotion and participation in injury and illness prevention programs. As the scope of service continues to expand, the paramedic will function as a facilitator of access to care and an initial treatment provider.

Paramedics are responsible and accountable to medical direction, the public and their peers. Paramedics recognize the importance of research and actively participate in the design, development, evaluation and publication of research. Paramedics seek to take part in life-long professional development and peer evaluation. They assume an active role in professional and community organizations.

AccreditationThe Emergency Technology program at Jones County Junior College is accredited by

the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).

CAD ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Purpose CAD Engineering technologists provide drawings and plans used in construction and production. They provide visual guidelines to demonstrate the construction of a structure or product (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2009). Drafters fill in technical details using drawings, rough sketches, specification, and calculations made by engineers, surveyors, architects, or scientists. For example, many drafters use their knowledge of standardized building techniques to draw in the details of structures. Some use their understanding of engineering and manufacturing theory and standards to draw the parts of a machine; they determine design elements, such as the numbers and kinds of fasteners needed to assemble the machine (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2990). Most drafters prepare plans and drawings with Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) systems.

Program DescriptionThe CAD Engineering Technology curriculum allows students to obtain skills and

The curriculum is based on the State Framework which is based on national standards as developed by the American Design Drafting Association. A combination of class work and laboratory experience is stressed. Completion of 47 semester credit hours of course work in the program leads to a Technical Certificate. Completion of 62 semester credit hours of course work in the program leads to an Associate in Applied Science Degree. The College placement policy guide will be used to determine the correct placement in academic classes (English, Math, Reading, etc.). Developmental or basic classes will not count toward the drafting program degree.
