Craven Community College participates within the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement

(CAA). The CAA is a pact between North Carolina's university system and its community

colleges that provides smooth transfer of students between the two systems. Students can

transfer individual courses, the 44-hour general education core, or the completed associate

degree. The CAA provides certain assurances to the transferring student:

It identifies community college courses that are appropriate for transfer as electives, to satisfy

the general education core, or as pre-professional courses. If taken at a North Carolina

community college, these courses will transfer, if you complete the course with a grade of

"C" or higher.

It provides for a 44-semester hour general education core which, if completed at the

community college, is fully transferable to the university and which replaces the university's

general education core classes. You will not be required to take other general education

classes at the university, even if the 44-hour core you bring with you does not completely

match the university.


__________________________________________________________________________

7

The CAA guarantees junior status and 64 semester hours of credit to transfer students

accepted to the university if those students have earned the Associate in Arts or Associate in

Science degree.

The CAA guarantees admission to one of the 16 UNC institutions, although not to a specific

campus or to a specific program or major.

Institution Mission:

Briefly describe the administrative lines of authority between this site and the main

campus (also attach an organizational chart): The Dean of the Havelock Campus has administrative oversight (curriculum as well as

continuing education) for both the Havelock Campus and the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air

Station operations of the college. He is supervised by the Executive Vice President & Chief

Academic Officer, who reports to the President of Craven Community College. The President

serves at the pleasure of a 12-member Board of Trustees. Craven Community College is one of

58 colleges within the North Carolina Community College system.

History

Give a brief history of the educational program at this site: Craven Community College (CCC) began offering classes in eastern Craven County for Marine

Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point Marines, their dependants, as well as for the civilian

employees of MCAS and the Naval Air Rework Facility (now Fleet Readiness Center-East)

since 1965. In 1965-1966, our records indicate that seven continuing education classes were

offered in the Havelock-Cherry Point servicing area. CCC initially established storefront

operations in Havelock in 1969. In December 1973, an office was opened at the Joint Education

Center of MCAS Cherry Point. Students (Marines, dependant, civilian employees) were able to

take classes on the new campus in New Bern, as well as, at public school facilitates in Havelock

(Havelock High School). In 1984, CCC leased property at East Plaza Professional Center in

Havelock. The store front operation allowed the college to expand its offerings in electronics,

computers, and cosmetology as well as for college transfer.

In 1993, CCC moved the original Cherry Point office to the new Jerry W. Marvel Training and

Education Center (EDTR) which is also located aboard MCAS Cherry Point. Today, CCC has

its own computer laboratory within this building and also uses several classrooms for lunchtime

offerings.

In January 2004, CCC opened its 24-acre Havelock campus facility with three buildings: the

Public Library, the Lewis R. Redd Building (curriculum/continuing education

classrooms/laboratories), and the Institute of Aeronautical Technology (IAT) building. The

Havelock campus provides general educational requirements for most degrees offered through

CCC, as well as offering the Aviation Systems Technology program in which students, upon

completion, should be able to pass both the written as well as practical examinations for their

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe and Power plant licensure.

In Spring 2007, Craven Community launched University Connections. Located on the Havelock

campus, University Connections is a partnership with East Carolina University and North

Carolina State University to provide area students with additional access to dual (associate's and

bachelor's) degrees. The University Connections initiative is headquartered at Craven's Institute

are housed on-site to help with advising.

following seventeen online programs for students.

North Carolina State University (NCSU) through the University Connections partnership

currently offers two options for prospective engineer students. The first option is the 2+2

Engineering program. The 2+2 Engineering program provides CCC students who complete their

freshman and sophomore level engineering courses successfully (3.5 or better Grade Point

Average in upper level math and science) direct admission into NCUS’s engineering program in

Raleigh, North Carolina. The second option is NCSU’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering

(BSE) with the emphasis in mechanical engineering. The BSE enable Craven Community

College students the opportunity to complete all four years of the BSE at both the Havelock and

New Bern campus without attending NCSU’s main campus.

Both the Havelock and Cherry Point locations of CCC provide a full range of student services

including: Admissions, Advising, Registration (online registration via Web Advisor began with

the summer 09 semester), Financial Aid Counseling, and a book store during the first two weeks

of each semester. In addition to curriculum classes at Cherry Point, CCC provides continuing

educational training to FRC-E employees, military commands (to include the service member as

well as their dependents), and other employees of the base.

The main campus, located in New Bern, opened in 1971 and is located 22 miles from the main

gate of MCAS Cherry Point, and since the inception has expanded to ten buildings. In the early

1990’s, CCC began offering distance education classes through the telecourse format. In 1998,

CCC offered its first Internet courses. Internet courses have been very popular with Marines and

their dependents in the Cherry Point community.

knowledge and necessary research skills in the subject area, for each undergraduate

and graduate program.

RESPONSE 2.7: Craven Community College ensures academic programs reflect the current body of knowledge

and research skills in particular subject areas through several means: faculty stay abreast of their

particular fields of study through participation in discipline meetings at state and national levels,

as well as through active participation with professional journals and retreats/work shops. Core

requirements in each of the Associate degree requires information literacy and research methods;

students are expected to demonstrate effective writing, speaking, listening, and nonverbal

communication skills appropriate to audience, purpose, and subject; demonstrate quantitative

competencies; demonstrate the ability to assess cultural/artistic merit and significance;

demonstrate a familiarity with the relationship between the individual and society; demonstrate

basic computer skills; demonstrate the ability to collect, interpret, and draw conclusions from

data using the scientific method. These skills are demonstrated and applied in subsequent

coursework that the student completes with CCC. For college transfer programs, a faculty

advisor specializing in transfer requirements maintains currency within University program

requirements as well as capabilities for ensuring these requirements are met in the coursework.

Each Associate in Applied Science Degree program has an Advisory Committee that reviews

annually the program of study compared to the needs in the field. Committees recommend

additional areas for courses and course competencies within courses, based on changes in various

industry and corporate focus.

As of 1997, the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) office’s reengineering

effort required all course competencies were addressed for every course within the community

college system. This is reviewed annually and updated as necessary.

2.8: For use by the onsite visit team, provide course outlines, including

instructional methods and bibliographical reference available for review.

RESPONSE 2.8: Course outlines will be available during the site visit.

2.9: Explain the methods your institution uses to assist students in completing

degree requirements in a timely fashion. Include considerations such as

advisement, student degree contracts, course scheduling and review of remaining

requirements.

RESPONSE 2.9: Students admitted into Craven Community College are required to meet with a college

advisor/counselor located either at the New Bern campus, Havelock Campus or Cherry Point

office. Upon completion of meeting with a counselor, students are then advised upon the

specific program of study in which they intend to complete; students are also assigned to a

Faculty Advisor; either at MCAS Cherry Point, Havelock, or New Bern depending upon the

student’s physical home address and/or preference. First time students, those who have not

completed at least 12 semester hour credits with CCC, are required to meet with their Faculty

Advisor in order to properly discuss their academic program of study and course sequence to

include all pre-requisites prior to registering for classes. After completion of their first 12 SHC,

students have the option to register online via CCC’s Web Advisor. All CCC’s program of

studies are outlined on our website in order for students to visit and review as necessary prior to

registration. Military members receive a signed advising sheet for Tuition Assistance Purposes.

Course scheduling per semester is considered paramount with CCC to ensure that students are

given an opportunity to complete their degrees within 2 years, if enrolled full-time. CCC offers a

variety of options for the student; e.g. 8 week evening classes, 8 week lunch classes (on base),

distance learning in 16, 12, or 8 week options, as well as traditional 16 week courses both day

and evening.

2.10: What opportunities, including formal instruction, do you provide for students

to demonstrate the necessary computer skills required for their programs of study?

RESPONSE 2.10: All students at CCC are given the opportunity to complete one of several computer courses per

degree or program of study. The majority of instructors at CCC implement some type of

computer competency within their class; e.g. all English Microsoft™ Word Documents are

required to be submitted to Turnitin.com. This process requires the student to become familiar

working with attachments, internet capabilities, and the Microsoft Office package. Most

instructors utilize PowerPoint© or some other type of media support during their lecture. If the

class is distance learning, the entire course of instruction requires computer competencies.

Both the New Bern and Havelock campuses staff maintain an Academic Skills Center in order to

tutor students needing computer assistance outside of the class. Computer labs on the campuses

employ assistants to help and tutor students at no charge to the student.

In addition, curricular general education the college has established these outcomes for general

education coursework: Students should be able to demonstrate effective writing, speaking,


__________________________________________________________________________

35

listening, and nonverbal communication skills appropriate to audience, purpose, and subject;

demonstrate quantitative competencies; demonstrate the ability to assess cultural/artistic merit

and significance; demonstrate a familiarity with the relationship between the individual and

society; demonstrate basic computer skills; demonstrate the ability to collect, interpret, and draw

conclusions from data using the scientific method.

2.11: What opportunities, including formal instruction, do you provide for students

to become competent in using library technologies?

RESPONSE 2.11: Craven Community College is responsive to the needs of students, faculty and the community

members in its instruction of the use of library and other learning services. Library staff conducts

instruction to both groups and individuals, by means of telephone, email and face to face

sessions. Library Services incorporates instruction provided by Godwin Memorial Library staff

and also the staff of the Havelock-Craven County Public Library which serves as the library for

the Havelock Campus.

A librarian or library staff person is available during operating hours to assist students, faculty,

and community members. Library staff ensures that each personal encounter is an instructional

opportunity. Librarians frequently provide instruction on using technology such as computers,

printers, microfilm, and copiers as well as library instruction.

Bibliographic Instruction

The library staff offers orientation tours and teaches classes on library skills, the online catalog,

Internet usage and searching NC LIVE (North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education). General

orientation tours are scheduled at the beginning of each semester and at the specific requests of

an instructor. Classes cover all areas of the collection and can be specialized to the needs of the

instructor and the class. Classes are conducted in the library or in classrooms. These classes use a

variety of methods including PowerPoint presentations, hands on exercises, and use of LAN

School software to replicate searches to student's individual computers. Individual instruction is

provided on request at the reference desk.

Librarians instruct faculty and staff on how to use the online catalog and NC LIVE. Librarians

are open to instructors' needs for subject specific bibliographic classes and instruction, and will

work with them in designing classes that assist students with specific assignments. Library staff

visit departmental meetings to discuss with faculty the services that the library can offer to assist

them and their students.

Each student enrolled at Craven Community College is required to take a college

orientation course (ACA 111 College Student Success, ACA 115 Success & Study Skills, or

ACA 118 College Study Skills) before graduation. Each course has a library component,


__________________________________________________________________________

36

whereby the students come to the library for a tour and instruction or a librarian visits the

classroom to demonstrate the use of the online catalog and NC LIVE.

Online Catalog

The library is part of the community college consortium called CCLINC. Patrons may view both

the library's own collection and those of other libraries within the consortium. Items may be

placed on hold from campus and from home, and also may be requested from other libraries

within the consortium.

Electronic Databases

Craven Community College provides access to the NCLIVE database collection. Off campus

students and faculty need a password for access, which can be obtained at the reference desk in

the library, by email, or from their instructor. Distance education students may get the password

by email or from their instructor.

Academic Skills Center

The Academic Skills Center provides instruction in many software programs used by students

including Blackboard, Campus Cruiser, Ace Reader, Plato, and Compass as well as other basic

software programs. The purpose of the tutoring is to help students become independent and

successful learners by assisting to develop good study skills, to increase their understanding of

course content, and to develop a positive attitude toward learning. The writing lab located within

the library provides assistance on basic computer use, proofreading, and citation writing.

Distance Education

Distance Education students have access to library reference through email and telephone

assistance. The Academic Skills Center provides orientations each semester that cover

Blackboard, the Online Financial Aid Verification Form, and Campus Cruiser. Classes are

offered at both the Havelock and New Bern campuses. For those students unable to make the

orientations, the Distance Education Handbook includes instructions on accessing and using

Blackboard, Campus Cruiser, and the Online Financial Aid Verification Form. The library

strives to make distance education students more aware of its virtual reference capabilities.

2.12: What assessment processes are used to ensure that e-learning programs

maintain the same standards as classroom-based programs?

RESPONSE 2.12: Craven Community College Distance Learning courses underwent a comprehensive review by

the Associate Dean for Information and Learning Resources in 2007 for all e-learning courses.

Subsequently, all Deans, Department Chairs, and other college administrators, monitor online

courses to ensure that syllabi reflect the same course objectives as seated courses and that a

variety of learning experiences are used in all e-learning classes in order to engage students and


__________________________________________________________________________

37

sustain a positive learning environment. Each course undergoes a Student Opinion of Instruction

which is given to faculty after final grades have been submitted.

2.13: List your e-learning courses and specify the interaction activities available

between the instructor and students and among students.

RESPONSE 2.13: All Distance Learning courses incorporate the following within their courses: email, threaded

asynchronous discussion, file sharing, file trends, instant messenger, and real time chat.

Successful achievement of outcomes is measured through testing, writing assessment, and

student projects. Instructors are available via telephone or email. CCC provides all students

with email Campus Cruiser accounts. Campus Cruiser provides students and instructors with

additional opportunities for emailing and file sharing. Group projects and peer editing ensure

student interaction. All students are encouraged to attend an online Blackboard orientation; this

allows the student to become familiar with the workings of Blackboard.

Instructor Interaction Requirements for Online Classes

Instructors should reply to all email or discussion board questions within 48 hours on

instructional days.

Instructors teaching 8 week courses should grade and return all assignments within 5

instructional days of due date. Instructors teaching courses longer than 8 weeks should

grade and return all assignments within 10 instructional days of the due date.

Instructors should use the Blackboard Grade Book to post grades for students so they can

easily view their progress in the course.

Instructors should use at least one form of assessment other than online quizzes or tests

which are automatically graded via Blackboard’s assessment manager. The alternative

assessment must provide feedback to the student from the instructor. This assignment

may be an essay or project.

Instructors should have interaction and communication with students that is evident in the

course. This should be accomplished by a discussion, peer editing, OR chat component in

which the faculty member participates in and/or leads regularly.

Craven Community College publishes notices of vacancies on its official website (Job

Opportunities). The college's website, under the heading Human Resources, provides

information regarding categories of positions; how to apply for positions; where to find the

vacancy listing; and benefits at CCC. Prospective faculty and staff can access an Application for

Employment and Professional Statement forms in printable MS Word or PDF formats through

the human resources webpage under Job Application Forms.

The College follows a documented procedure for opening a vacancy announcement. Vacancies

are published in local and regional newspapers in North Carolina, as well as on the North

Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) and Employment Security Commission of North

Carolina Websites.

All full-time and adjunct faculty, who would like to instruct curriculum transfer courses, are

required to have earned a masters degree from an accredited institution in the discipline that they

would like to instruct, or hold a masters degree and 18 graduate semester hours of credit in the

discipline that they would like to instruct. If the prospective instructor does not hold a masters or

higher degree, then dependent upon their undergraduate degree, the applicant may be able to

instruct CCC’s developmental courses.

All full-time faculty positions are required to be screened by a committee that is established by

the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer who will appoint a chair as well as 4 to 6

committee members. The screening committee will then meet with all applicants and make a

recommendation to the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer who will then consider

the committee’s recommendation for a second interview. Upon completion of the second

interview with the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer, a recommendation is then

sent to the President of the college for consideration to a full-time position. The President is the

only college representative authorized by the Board of Trustees to offer full time contracts.

All adjunct faculty positions are recruited through advertising and referral. Unlike the full-time

positions, there is no screening committee; however, the department chair is responsible to

ensure that the applicant has earned the appropriate degree as outlined in paragraph one of this

answer as well as complete the certification of credentials; Database of credentials are

maintained at Human Recourses located at the Main Campus. It is important to stress that CCC

offers no guarantee of continual employment.

2.18: Describe faculty training for e-learning programs.

RESPONSE 2.18: All Distance Education or e-learning instructors are required to attend and successfully complete

CCC’s Developing and Enhancing Online Teaching course. This must be completed prior to

teaching a web course. The course familiarizes instructors with the Blackboard program and

provides the necessary tools for an instructor to be successful teaching in the e-learning format.

Deans may waive this training requirement for new faculty who are experienced and proficient in

both Blackboard and online pedagogy. In addition, CCC, through the Center of Training and

Leadership, provides additional e-learning training for both full and part-time faculty

Guidelines for Distance Learning Courses Design and Evaluation: Courses that are offered

solely via the web (designated with a ―W‖ in the section number) should include all items in the

Distance Education Course Design Rubric (DECDR) located at

http://www.cravencc.edu/cccderubric20082009_1.rtf. Faculty are required to self-evaluate each

web course they are teaching during fall and spring and bring each course up to CCC standard

according to the DECDR (if needed). All of CCC’s web courses (―W‖ section courses) use

Blackboard as the learning management system. All Hybrid courses (―Y‖ section courses) are

required to have a web presence and use Blackboard as the learning management system. Any

newly developed web course must meet the DECDR standards. Department Chairs and Deans

have access to all full-time and adjunct faculty distance learning courses within their areas.

Department Chairs evaluate both the design and conduct of the courses, forwarding any concerns

regarding full-time faculty members’ courses to the Dean for review. Instructors should reply to

all email or discussion board questions within 48 hours on instructional days. Instructors

teaching 8 week courses should grade and return all assignments within 5 instructional days of

due date. Instructors teaching courses longer than 8 weeks should grade and return all

assignments within 10 instructional days of the due date. Instructors should use the Blackboard

Grade Book to post grades for students so they can easily view their progress in the course.

Instructors should use at least one form of assessment other than online quizzes or tests which


__________________________________________________________________________

45

are automatically graded via Blackboard’s assessment manager. The alternative assessment must

provide feedback to the student from the instructor. This assignment may be an essay or project.

2.19: What are areas of concern relating to faculty and faculty development? How

does the institution recognize installation faculty contributions and how does the

institution assist faculty members in overcoming any deficiencies?

RESPONSE 2.19: The faculty appraisal is designed to facilitate dialogue about effective teaching, to assess the

quality and effectiveness of the faculty member and may serve as part of documentation for

personnel decisions. Craven Community College, in keeping with the North Carolina

Community College System, does not offer tenured status to faculty.

The overall appraisal of faculty draws from several inputs: faculty self appraisal; student opinion

of instruction; instructional goals accomplished; an observation of one of a variety of teaching

environments; and the Dean/Chair's assessment in the four areas of the job description (learning

environment, student advising, professional characteristics and administrative tasks).

Appraisal forms may be accessed through the Human Resources Web site and Policies and

Procedures Manual. The following are included:

1. Employee Appraisal Cover Sheet

2. Faculty Performance Appraisal

3. Faculty SELF Appraisal

4. Classroom Observation Checklist

5. Clinical Observation Checklist

6. Lab Observation Checklist

7. Distance Education Appraisal

Full-time faculty members are evaluated annually in the Spring by the Dean of the Unit. New

faculty members are evaluated in approximately the third month during the first semester of

employment*. The appraisal form is also utilized at the supervisor's discretion for faculty about

whom there are performance concerns*.

All fulltime faculty appraisals are reviewed and signed by the Evaluator's Supervisor and

reviewed by the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer to assist with internal

consistency.

Craven Community College recognizes academic excellence by selecting the institution’s

―Teacher of the Year.‖ The ―Teacher of the Year‖ is recognized at Craven Community

College’s Invocation held at the end of each spring semester. The ―Teacher of the Year‖ has the


__________________________________________________________________________

46

distinguished honor of speaking at Craven Community College’s Commencement Ceremony and

is the lead facilitator in a number of professional development activities.

Adjunct Faculty Appraisal

The responsibility for evaluating Adjunct faculty lies with the Department Chair or Dean..

Adjunct faculty members are evaluated fall and spring semester by their students using the

Student Opinion of Instruction survey and Distance Education Appraisal. Student input is

summarized and communicated to the Chair prior to the end of the semester, and to the adjunct

faculty once grades are assigned. Department Chairs also conduct classroom observations

annually for adjunct instructors.

2.20: Describe your processes for developing learning objectives and learning

assessments.

RESPONSE 2.20: Each educational program establishes its goals through courses selected in its program of study.

Course goals, objectives, or outcomes are listed on course syllabi (see sample of NUR 130

syllabus) and are validated through successful completion of individual courses and progression

to the next course in sequence. Course outcomes are also validated through national/state

licensure and certification pass rates, program accreditation/reaffirmation (BLET), employer

satisfaction, advisory committee input, and transfer performance indicators. Through these

assessments, students' attainment of program and learning outcomes are measured, and where

weaknesses are identified, are assessed.

General Education Outcomes Assessment Process:

Using the process developed by Central Piedmont Community College as a basis, the General

Education Outcome committee identified a central learning outcome for each area in the Liberal

Arts core curriculum. Courses within each area that clearly demonstrate the outcome and are

commonly taken by students were identified.

Category Goal Courses

BIO 111

The process used by CCC to assess General Education Outcomes:

1. Full-time faculty, with input from adjunct faculty, teaching the chosen courses develop

assessment instruments that will be administered in all sections of those courses during

the Fall semester.

2. A faculty member from each category will collect the assignments at the end of the Fall

semester and complete a standardized report to be submitted to their respective Chair by

February 15 of the Spring semester

3. The Communication, Humanities/Fine Arts, and Computer Skills reports are sent to the

Chair of Communication, Fine Arts, and Humanities to review with faculty in discipline

and suggest changes for improvement.

4. The Math, Social/Behavioral Sciences, and Natural Sciences reports are sent to the Chair

of Math, Science, and Social Sciences to review with faculty in discipline and suggest

changes for improvement.

5. The Chairs submit the reports to the Dean of Liberal Arts by March 15. The Dean will

compile the results into a summary report.

6. The Dean of Liberal Arts will send the General Education Assessment Report containing

individual outcome reports and the summary report to the Office of Planning and

Assessment by April 1.

2.21: Provide the grading policy of your institution, having it available for the site

team during their visit. Describe how your grading policy at the installation

adheres to the policy, including the consideration of grade inflation.

RESPONSE 2.21: Adequate evaluation of students through quizzes, tests, and other evaluative means are conducted

throughout the semester as a basis for grading. Faculty members advise students of the testing

and grading procedures they plan to follow upon the first day of class via the syllabi. Procedures

used within the classroom must be consistent with the course syllabus. Departments determine

whether to use a seven-point or ten-point scale. This is a departmental decision and cannot be

made by an individual instructor. This information must be stated in the course syllabus which

should be approved by the Department Chair prior to its distribution to students. Courses in

which a student earns a grade of ―D‖ may not transfer to other institutions and for some

programs a student must earn a ―C‖ or higher grade to progress in the program or take additional

*It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor regarding work to be completed for the

removal of the “I” grade. A Grade of “I” must be removed during the first eight weeks of the

next semester or it automatically becomes an “F.” (example: Spring semester incomplete grades

must be removed no later than the first eight weeks of the next Fall semester. Associate Degree

Nursing and Practical Nursing students must remove an incomplete grade prior to the beginning

of the next semester of study.) This policy may be waived through petition to and approval of the

Executive Vice President.

2.22: List two courses from each of your programs and describe the student

assessment process used in each course.

RESPONSE 2.22: The following excerpts are from the instructors syllabi that demonstrate the various processes for

student assessment for the individual course. Two courses are from those that are offered at this

installation PSY 150 MDA1, and ENG 111 MDA1; the other two courses are those that service

members and/or their dependents may choose to complete for their degree plan either at the New

Bern Campus, the Havelock Campus or online; BIO 111 HE1, and HEA 110 HWA1 (this is an

e-learning course).

General Psychology (PSY 150 MDA1)

Grading: Your final grade in this course is based on the total number of points you earn during

the semester. Points are earned from the grades you receive on one take home syllabus quiz,

eight chapter quizzes, four tests, and two projects.

The syllabus take home quiz will be distributed the first day of class.

Chapter quizzes will be given during the first few minutes of class on the assigned days. If you

miss a quiz, you cannot make it up. The grade cut offs have been calculated so that two of the

quizzes are extra credit. It is recommended that you complete your study guide prior to the quiz.

Your own completed study guide may be used for the quiz.

Tests will consist of any combination of the following: true-false, multiple choice, fill in the

blank, diagrams, short answer essays, and long answer essays. Test material will be drawn from

student can make up a unit test he/she missed if the instructor is notified by email or typed note

at least three hours prior to the commencement of the class during which the test is scheduled

AND the instructor determines the excuse warrants granting the make-up option. Examples of

acceptable excuses include sickness (extends to immediate family), conflict with military or

other legitimate obligations, or death/injury of a family member. A written validating note or

other certificate substantiating the reason for the missed test may be requested. Make-up tests

will be given at the convenience of the instructor, usually the return date of the student.

Labs: No written lab assignment will be accepted from any student who does not participate in

the assigned lab. Unless otherwise noted, late lab assignments will be accepted for a maximum

of two weeks from the original due date. Additionally, a late assignment will be debited 20% of

the original maximum points for each week or portion thereof it is late. An assignment will be

considered late if it is not handed in by the end of the designated class. Missed work not made up

will automatically result in a total loss of credit for the assignment.

2.24: Identify the planned initiatives that your institution has developed that may

help service members better achieve their educational needs and objectives.

RESPONSE 2.24: A planned initiative to be implemented Fall 2010, is the Marine Learner Online or MLO program

in which service member and or their dependent may complete their Associate in Arts/Associate

in General Education completely online. These courses are open to service members and their

dependents only. Upon review of the SMART Transcripts, active duty students may receive

credit for HEA 110 (3); PED 110 (2); PED 121 (1) total 6 Semester Hour Credit (SHC).

Dependents of active duty military will not receive these credits and must complete a HEA 110

Another initiative to be implemented spring 2010 is an initiative to provide Craven Community

College courses to the unit workspace on Technical Training Days. Marines will be offered a

variety of college transfer courses in a hybrid format. These courses will meet on the technical

training day to review and enforce material being presented and then allow the service member

to complete the rest of the work online. These courses will be offered in the 8 week format.

In addition, CCC’s 2009-2010 course catalog has been rewritten to list recommended course

sequence for all degrees offered.

Finally, Craven Community College developed and implemented an Early Alert System

designed to identify academically risk students. Instructors who have identified an academically

at risk student are to contact Student Service counselors at either the New Bern, Havelock or

Cherry Point locations. The counselors contact the student to assist and provide academic

counseling.

Principle Three: Program Administration Management

Student Services

Administration of the program includes academic and student services

and demonstrates effective and reliable management of human, fiscal,

technological, and learning resources.

Management

3.1: What institutional employment policies including compensation, teaching load,

orientation, supervision, and professional development apply to faculty and staff on

the installation? How comparable are these policies to main campus policies?

RESPONSE 3.1: Criteria for full-time and adjunct faculty do not differentiate by college location. All newly hired

full-time faculty and full-time staff will receive an orientation on their first day of employment.

This session is conducted by the Human Resources Department and will last approximately two

hours. Full-time faculty also will receive a reduced teaching load during their first fall term to

participate in a semester-long orientation academy. Staff are also required to attend the

semester-long orientation academy. The orientation program will provide new employees with

information on the structure of the college, policies and procedures, the college’s impact on its

stakeholders, college services, and best practices in the classroom. The New Employee

Orientation is designed to create a climate that supports positive interaction among employees,

encourages improved student learning, and enhances knowledge of college processes.

Full-Time Instructor Contracts: July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010 Employment contracts are determined annually in April/May. Full-time regular employees

include all employees who either have a written letter of employment from the College for a

specified contract period or are employed as full-time regular employees under an at-will

agreement with the College, under which their average workweek is to consist of 40 hours of

work. All full-time faculty contracts are for a nine-month period (Fall and Spring semesters) with

optional supplemental contracts for Summer term instruction. All full-time faculty are expected

to be distance learning proficient. All full-time faculty positions are 40 hours/week, with specific

requirements of 30 hours on campus for working with students, serving on task forces and

committees, and participating in meetings. (Faculty members in Director positions are required

to be on campus 35 hours per week.) Teaching assignments may include evening work and may

be located on both the Havelock and New Bern campuses. Regular travel to classroom locations

off campus, or between the New Bern and Havelock campuses, should be noted on the

Instructor’s Weekly Schedule and included in the required on-campus hours. The salary for full-

time faculty is based on the compensatory rate for job level 15. The current rate structure can be


__________________________________________________________________________

56

found on the website at http://www.cravencc.edu/about/policies/RateStructure.cfm. The salaries

listed on the web outline the monthly and annual (12-month) minimum, midpoint, and maximum

earnings for all job levels associated with the College. However, faculty contracts are based on

nine months, with supplemental contracts for certain instructors with additional responsibilities.

Therefore, the annual salaries that accompany the job levels in the rate structure table do not

apply to most faculty.

Contract Options (Currently under revision)

Faculty Nine months pay. Nine months work. Teach 18 credit hours/24 contact hours each semester –

Fall and Spring (36 credit/48 contact total) No advising responsibility No summer employment,

unless teaching at adjunct rate.

CCC’s developmental courses. Unlike the full-time positions, there is no screening committee

however, the department chair is responsible to ensure that the applicant has earned the

appropriate degree as outlined in paragraph one of this answer as well as complete the

certification of credentials. Also, it is important to stress that CCC offers no guarantee of

continual employment.

3.2: Describe the institution’s procedures for evaluation of the content processes

and support systems involved in its learning activities.

RESPONSE 3:2: Course syllabi list student outcomes in measurable terms, list course requirements, and identify

the grading system for the course. Instructors submit course syllabi to their department Chair for

approval. The applicable academic Dean must approve the syllabi prior to the beginning of

instruction.

To support instructional efforts, classrooms have multi-media; the college provides academic

skills centers with personal tutoring and maintains two libraries.

Annually, Craven Community College reviews its services and curriculum programs through the

institution’s Planning and Assessment Office. The service review is normally conducted in

November of each year; in 2004-05, it was moved to spring to coincide with potential questions

for the Quality Enhancement Plan identification effort. Results of the services review are used in

college's base planning and enhancement goal-setting processes. Examples of changes based on

reviews include changes in security and bookstore operations, efforts by the business office to

improve quality of service, and improvement in the online class schedule with seats-taken

updates.

The Program Review is conducted in accordance with mandate legislation stating that a

comprehensive review and examination of each Curriculum program must be completed at least

once every five years. The review is intended to go beyond normal, annual assessment processes

and to serve the College in determining long-term program effectiveness and productivity.

The official Program Review is intended to asses each indentified program with respect to

achievement of stated purpose, quality of instruction, curriculum scope and design, cost

effectiveness, student learning outcomes and contribution to the overall mission of the College.

The College's Student Affairs area reviews its offerings in accordance with the Commission for

the Advancement of Standards.


__________________________________________________________________________

58

The college's institutional advancement and academic areas have identified a plan to identify,

measure, and use outcomes to improve the quality of all Craven Community College's offerings,

whether instructional or support.

The College continually assesses programs -- not only on input and output measures -- but using

identified outcomes. College-wide determined assessment measures are applied, and results of

all assessments are used to make changes, where necessary, to further support the college's

ability to implement its mission in the community.

Data is collected and analyzed in a variety of ways between the Havelock and Cherry Point

Office. Enrollment trends of students enrolled in classes at the Cherry Point location are

captured at the beginning of class as well as at the 10% reporting date. This information is used

in order to validate course offerings at this location. Student opinion of instruction is also

analyzed for completion and performance of both the student as well as the instructor.

3.3: What are the institution’s policies on e-learning? Show how the program at the

site is consistent with these policies.

RESPONSE 3.3: All distance educational courses have the same credit hours, same objectives, and assessment

strategies as traditional seated courses and are not indicated any differently on the students’

transcripts. Students are highly encouraged to participate with Blackboard orientation prior to

taking an online course of instruction. The college ensures that students have the proper course

prerequisites prior to enrollment in online courses.

Guidelines for Distance Learning Courses Design and Evaluation: Courses that are offered

solely via the web (designated with a ―W‖ in the section number) should include all items in the

Distance Education Course Design Rubric (DECDR) located at

http://www.cravencc.edu/cccderubric20082009_1.rtf. Faculty are required to self-evaluate each

web course they are teaching during fall and spring and bring each course up to CCC standard

according to the DECDR (if needed). All of CCC’s web courses (―W‖ section courses) use

Blackboard as the learning management system. All Hybrid courses (―Y‖ section courses) are

required to have a web presence and use Blackboard as the learning management system. Any

newly developed web course must meet the DECDR standards. Department Chairs and Deans

have access to all full-time and adjunct faculty distance learning courses within their areas.

Department Chairs evaluate both the design and conduct of the courses, forwarding any concerns

regarding full-time faculty members’ courses to the Dean for review. Instructors should reply to

all email or discussion board questions within 48 hours on instructional days. Instructors

teaching 8 week courses should grade and return all assignments within 5 instructional days of

due date. Instructors teaching courses longer than 8 weeks should grade and return all

assignments within 10 instructional days of the due date. Instructors should use the Blackboard


__________________________________________________________________________

59

Grade Book to post grades for students so they can easily view their progress in the course.

Instructors should use at least one form of assessment other than online quizzes or tests which

are automatically graded via Blackboard’s assessment manager. The alternative assessment must

provide feedback to the student from the instructor. This assignment may be an essay or project.

Military students and their dependents who register at this installation for distance education

courses are advised to ensure that they are capable of completing the courses during the allotted

time. Instructors do try to work as best they can with active duty personnel and their unexpected

orders for deployments, these students are required to complete all assigned work within the best

of their ability within the assigned time.

3.4: What provisions are there for the involvement of installation faculty in the

academic affairs of the department or college?

RESPONSE 3.4: All faculty of Craven Community College may be involved with academic affairs. Deans and

Department Chairs recommend names annually to the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic

Officer for consideration of appointment on a number of standing committees. Faculty may

participate in a number of standing committees that include the President’s Council, President’s

Cabinet, Faculty Association, Academic Leadership Team, and the Institutional Effectiveness

Committee.

3.5: Who is responsible for institutional program administration on the

installation?

RESPONSE 3.5: Mr. Gerald M. Boucher, Dean of the Havelock/Cherry Point Campus, through Executive Vice

President of Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer Dr. Cindy Hess’ oversight.

3.6: What oversight of the program is provided from the main campus? What is the

administrative structure on the main campus for programs offered on the

installation? Provide a current organization chart showing the relationship

between the main campus and the installation.

RESPONSE 3.6: All programs offered to students aboard MCAS Cherry Point are overseen by the Dean of the

Havelock/Cherry Point Campus who works collaboratively with the Dean of Liberal Arts, the

Dean of Learning Support, the Dean of Continuing Education and the Dean of Career Programs.

All day-to-day operations of the programs or new initiatives for MCAS Cherry Point are

overseen by the Dean of the Havelock/Cherry Point Campus.


__________________________________________________________________________

60

The main campus curriculum programs are organized into four Learning Centers: Liberal Arts

Learning Center, Career Program Learning Center, and the Learning Support Learning Center.

The Continuing Education Learning Center is overseen by the Dean who in turn is supervised by

the Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer.

http://www.cravencc.edu/about/CollegeOrgStructure.pdf

3.7: What administration personnel are responsible for the delivery of the

program both at the installation and on the main campus?

RESPONSE 3.7: The Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Cindy Hess is

responsible for the delivery of all programs at all Craven Community College locations. Dr.

Hess is assisted in this endeavor through the assistance of the various Learning Center Deans and

Department Chairs.

3.8: What computer support is available to the on-installation administrator to

facilitate information systems management? Identify areas where this computer

support needs to be improved.

RESPONSE 3.8: The computer support available to the on-installation administrator is the same as the Main and

Havelock campuses. To support the on-instillation administrator, Craven Community College

provides computer support through the Learning Support Center. The Learning Support

technicians support onsite services such as: access to Blackboard; Colleague for student

information or student registration; billing of tuition assistance or MyCAA for dependent;

student placement testing; and or applicable fees for non-service members. Due to the fact that

this site utilizes a different server provider, if the server is off-line then the on-installation

administrator and assistant are unable to complete any day-to-day functions, thus the service

member or their dependent needs to travel to either the Havelock or New Bern campus for

administrative services.

3.9: What professional development activities are available to the onsite

director and other administrative personnel? How frequently do staff members

participate in professional development activities?

RESPONSE 3.9: The following is the 2009 professional development activities schedule for faculty and staff of

The program review is conducted in accordance with mandate legislation stating that a








__________________________________________________________________________

63














analyzed for completion and performance of both the student as well as the instructor. The

college does look at the various locations and the Cherry Point location is minimal cost to the

overall operational budget.

3.11: How does the institution assist the installation in the needs assessment

process?

RESPONSE 3.11: Craven Community College assists the installation in the needs assessment process by the

completion of student opinion of instruction (SOI). The Student Opinion of Instruction is

completed by students enrolled in CCC’s courses on base. The SOIs are shared with the Base

Education Office. The SOIs provides both Craven Community College and the instillation with

information concerning the facility and instruction. CCC also participates in the Base Education

Advisory Council. The Base Education Advisory Council is the vehicle for Craven Community

College and other higher education institutions aboard Cherry Point to provide input for

continuous improve of the instillation’s facilities and services.

3.12: What are the interactions of the institutional administrative services with

those of the installation and with those of the other institutions providing

educational programs on the installation?

RESPONSE 3.12: Craven Community College has a strong collaborative working relationship with the Cherry

Point Training and Education personnel as well as with the other institutions that provide

undergraduate education to the installation. The Cherry Point faculty advisor of CCC


__________________________________________________________________________

64

consistently works with the education office to ensure military members and their dependents

understand the various procedures and processes of CCC regarding the application process,

registering (either online or face to face), and billing. CCC’s advisor also works closely with the

other institutions to ensure that military members and their dependents are afforded the classes

needed to fulfill course requirements with the various institutions simultaneously. CCC is

currently working with Southern Illinois University to develop an articulation agreement that

enables graduates of Craven Community College’s Associates of Applied Science Aviation

System Technology degree to seamlessly transition into Southern Illinois University’s Bachelor

of Science Aviation Management program.

3.13: How does the institution assist in the development of a common

installation academic calendar and schedule of classes that accommodate the

military duties of service members?

RESPONSE 3.13: Craven Community College’s academic calendar is proposed by the Executive Vice President of

Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Cindy Hess, and consideration is given towards

federal holidays and days of observance. Scheduling of classes is designed in part to assist and

accommodate (as much as possible) the military member. CCC offers traditional 16 week

courses, 8 week courses. Both the 16 and 8 week courses may be completed online, face to face,

at either campus or on base at a variety of times. Every effort is made to accommodate our

students while maintaining academic rigor and excellence.

3.14: How is voluntary education encouraged on the installation? How is that

influenced by the institution’s onsite director and faculty? By other institutions

serving the military population on or off the installation? By the installation

Education Services Officer? By the installation command structure?

RESPONSE 3.14: The Education and Training personnel assists each military member by presenting educational

opportunities aboard MCAS Cherry Point. The Education and Training Office is proactive and

provides opportunities for all education providers to encourage voluntary education aboard the

installation. The Education and Training Office has established a number of education and

career fairs for active military members and their dependents throughout the year. Craven

Community College participated in three education and career fairs last year. Craven

Community College has also participated in four safety-down’s and three PMEs. Craven

Community College is currently working with Southern Illinois University to develop an

articulation agreement that enables graduates of Craven Community College’s Associates of

Applied Science Aviation System Technology degree to seamlessly transition into Southern

Illinois University’s Bachelor of Science Aviation Management program. In addition, Craven

Community College has recently been awarded the Military Academic Success Program

(MASP) by the Education Services Officer.

3.15: Is program marketing and promotion included in the MOU/ESA (or

contract)? How is marketing and promotion being conducted by the institution on

the installation?

RESPONSE 3.15: Craven Community College’s marketing and promotion of academic and continuing educational

programs aboard MCAS Cherry Point is accomplished in many ways. CCC utilizes the

electronic marquees located throughout MCAS Cherry Point to announce registration dates,

graduation dates, as well as other special educational information for military members and their

dependents. CCC also attends the stations Welcome Aboard to discuss the various options

available to military members and their dependents; CCC also attends various safety stand-

down’s as well as squadron professional military education (PME) when invited by the squadron

Sergeant Major or other representative; and CCC attends and participates with the annual air

show providing brochures and handouts. CCC advertises within the station newspaper the

―Windsock‖ promoting current courses available and points of contact for more information; as

well as all residents within Craven County receive a mail copy of the current curriculum and

continuing education schedules

3.16: What initiatives are underway to strengthen administration, management,

and program marketing?

RESPONSE 3.16: In July 2007 Craven Community College created and hired the position of Military/Civil Service

Training Coordinator. The Military/Civil Service Training Coordinator serves as the college’s

liaison in meeting the education needs of MCAS Cherry Point and Fleet Readiness Center East.

The Military/Civil Service Training Coordinator participates in community engagement efforts

with a specific focus on MCAS Cherry Point. The position promotes Craven Community

College’s academic opportunities to various tenant commands aboard MCAS Cherry Point.

In October 2008, Craven Community College hired a new President. In 2008-09, the President

established a new organizational and administrative structure. The changes to the organizational

and administrative structure strengthened the efficiency and effectiveness of Craven Community

College as a whole and addressed extreme budget challenges.

The college is organized around four major administrative ―units,‖ each of which is led by a Vice

President, as a chief administrative officer who reports directly to the President. The four units

are Academic Affairs, Administrative Services Institutional Advancement and Student Service.


__________________________________________________________________________

66

Under the leadership of the new College President, the College is currently involved in a

comprehensive Strategic Planning process that will culminate in July 2010 with a new Strategic

Plan for 2010 – 2013 with the following elements: Revised Mission Statement, Revised Vision

Statement, Revised Strategic Goals, New Institutional Core Values, Planning Analyses/Reports,

Planning Assumptions, Unit/Center/Department Mission Statements, Strategic Priorities,

Unit/Center/Department Actions.

Part of the comprehensive strategic plan was the creation of Craven Community College’s

Identity Document. The Identity Document was created as a means of expressing the essence of

what CCC is as a college community and institution and why CCC exists. The document reflects

how CCC is organized and structured and how CCC reaches and makes decisions.

To promote program marketing Craven Community College participates in a number of civic

organization such as the Havelock-Rotary Club, Military Affairs Committee, Havelock Chamber

of Commerce; and external events such as the MCAS Air Show, Havelock Chili Festival and

Craven County Public School event.

To strengthen program marketing Craven Community College created a Military Focus Group

comprised of a cross-section of faculty and staff who have direct knowledge of the military

community.. The Military Focus Group is currently in session and plans to provide marketing,

enrollment and retention recommendations to the President’s Council November 5, 2009.

3.17: How do the institutional admissions, testing, and registration policies and

procedures on the installation differ from main campus policies and procedures?

RESPONSE 3:17: Craven Community College’s admissions, testing, and registration policies are the same

regardless of what campus the student completes this process. However, due to the unique

nature of the military member, every attempt is made (regardless of campus) to accommodate

specific needs of the military community.

Student Services

3.18: Who are the academic advisors? What are their qualifications and

credentials? How are they trained?

RESPONSE 3.18: Currently at Craven Community College, the primary advisors for active military and their

dependents at MCAS Cherry Point and the Havelock Campus are Mrs. Kathy Swecker, Mr.

Gerald Boucher, Mrs. Amy Derck, Ms. Pat Johnson, Mrs. Kaisy Wilkerson-Mills, Mr. Walter

Calabrese, and Mr. Shawn Moore. Faculty advise according to degree requirements for the

technical and college transfer areas. Academic advisors' qualifications are consistent with SACS

requirements.

Craven Community College has a membership with the National Academic Advising

Association or NACADA; and the concept of advising at CCC is aligned with NACADA’s

philosophy. Training for advisors is conducted as needed to address new initiatives and

programs or as refresher (such as general advising training, interpreting PLT scores, using the

STAC screen in advising, etc.) 3.19: How are students advised and how is their progress monitored?

RESPONSE 3.19: Students aboard MCAS Cherry Point are initially advised upon admittance into the college with

a trained faculty advisor. Craven Community College’s policy for students with 12 or less

semester hour credits must meet with an advisor for scheduling of courses. After the completion

of 12 SHC, the student may enroll in classes online via WebAdvisor.

The Student Advising Center at the New Bern Campus provides information, advising, and

registration assistance for all students at the College. The Havelock campus and Cherry Point

location rely on seven advisors to assist with student advising and program completion.

Currently the Havelock campus has four general advisors and two technical degree advisors.

The Cherry Point office has one general academic advisor. All students are encouraged to

periodically visit an advisor at the New Bern, Havelock or Cherry Point locations in order to

maintain their progress towards their educational goals or to seek assistance in all aspects of the

college experience. Students are encouraged to seek the assistance of the advising staff for any

academic, career, or personal concerns that might arise. Advising sessions are confidential. It is

not necessary to make an appointment to see an advisor. In situations where counseling is

required, advisors will assist with appropriate referrals.

Instructors assist in the advising of students through the utilization of Craven Community

College’s Early Alert system. Craven Community College developed and implemented an Early


__________________________________________________________________________

68

Alert System designed to identify academically risk students. Instructors who have identified an

academically at risk student are to contact Student Service counselors at either the New Bern,

Havelock or Cherry Point locations. The counselors contact the student to assist and provide

academic counseling.

3.20: What is the relationship between the institution’s academic advisement

services and the installation’s counseling and testing services? Is that relationship

appropriate and adequate to the task? Describe why or why not.

RESPONSE 3.20: The bulk of advising is facilitated by a trained faculty advisor at the installation office who can

interpret testing scores for proper advisement/placement into courses. If further services are

required or the attention of a counselor is needed the student is asked to make an appointment

with the counselor at the Havelock campus. In the event the student cannot arrange to meet at

the Havelock campus, the counselor will go to the Cherry Point office to meet with the student.

Craven Community College anticipates the use of E-Advising in Spring 2010.

3.21: What does the institution do to help military students complete their degrees?

RESPONSE 3.21: Students aboard MCAS Cherry Point are initially advised upon admittance into the college with

a trained faculty advisor. Craven Community College’s policy for students with 12 or less

semester hour credits must meet with an advisor for scheduling of courses. After the completion

of 12 SHC, the student may enroll in classes and monitor program completion online via

WebAdvisor.

The Student Advising Center at the New Bern Campus provides information, advising, and

registration assistance for all students at the College. The Havelock campus and Cherry Point

location rely on seven advisors to assist with student advising and program completion. All

students are encouraged to periodically visit an advisor at the New Bern, Havelock or Cherry

Point locations in order to maintain their progress towards their educational goals or to seek

assistance in all aspects of the college experience. Students are encouraged to seek the assistance

of the advising staff for any academic, career, or personal concerns that might arise.

In addition, Craven Community College developed and implemented an Early Alert System

designed to identify academically risk students. Instructors who have identified an academically

at risk student are to contact Student Service counselors at either the New Bern, Havelock or

Cherry Point locations. The counselors contact the student to assist and provide academic

counseling.


__________________________________________________________________________

69

Both the New Bern and Havelock campuses staff an Academic Skills Center in order to tutor

students needing assistance in Math, Reading, English or other subject matter. The Academic

Skill Centers on both campuses are excellent student resources for military students to achieve

their educational goals.

Craven Community College also offers traditional 16 week courses and 8 week courses. Both

the 16 and 8 week courses may be completed either online, face to face, also courses may be

completed at either campus or on base with a variety of times to allow every opportunity possible

for the student to achieve their higher educational goals. CCC also provides access to advisors

on the New Bern, Havelock and Cherry Point office. Every effort is made to accommodate our

students while maintaining academic rigor and excellence.

The implementation of E-Advising in Spring 2010 will provide additional assistance to students.

3.22: How can academic advisement be strengthened?

RESPONSE 3.22: There is a distinct difference between advising and registering students. Craven Community

College is placing the improvement of academic advising as a priority. A major issue faced by

Craven Community College and students in the advising and registration process is the fact that

most areas of the college are extremely busy during advising/registration times. As a result for

this Spring registration, three weeks (October 26, 2009 through November 13, 2009) have been

designated as priority advising. Students are encouraged to meet with advisors in order to

properly prepare themselves for registering for the Spring semester.

The implementation of E-Advising in Spring 2010 will provide additional assistance to students.

3.23: How does the institution advise military students regarding financial aid,

including tuition assistance, GI Bill and service kickers, Pell Grants, and other

forms of aid available to military students?

RESPONSE 3.23: Craven Community College has a Veterans Affairs office at the New Bern Campus to assist

students with the Montgomery GI Bill and or the Post 9/11 GI Bill as well as service kicker

information. Financial aid personnel are located at the Havelock campus every Monday and

Wednesday to assist students with financial aid information, including Pell Grants and

scholarships opportunities. Printed information is always available at the installation office and

the Cherry Point advisor is able to answer basic financial aid questions. Tuition assistance is

handled through the installation education office with the student determining his/her schedule in

concordance with an advisor from CCC.


__________________________________________________________________________

3.24: What are the institution’s minimum acceptable scores for CLEP, DSST,

and/or ACT/PEP examinations?

RESPONSE 3.24: Students can receive credit for college courses under the credit by examination policy. The

College recognizes and awards credit for the following testing programs:

1. APP – Advanced Placement Program

2. CLEP – College Level Examination Program

3. DSST – DANTES Subject Standardized Tests

4. IBCC - International Baccalaureate College Credit

The minimum acceptable scores for CLEP are 50 (unless otherwise stated in the course catalog);

the minimum for APP is 3; and the minimum for the IBCC is 5+ or 6+ depending upon the

subject. The College awards credit for APP, CLEP and DSST examinations based on the credit

recommendations of the American Council on Education for comparable courses it offers. A

maximum of 20 semester hours credit is allowed under the Credit by Examination Policy. Credit

will apply towards graduation requirements in the student’s program; however, quality points are

not awarded. A student desiring college credit through these programs must have the applicable

testing agency forward the examination results to the College. Credit will be awarded based upon

established criteria.

3.25: How does the institution validate traditional, nontraditional, and prior

learning credits?

RESPONSE 3.25: Upon admission, Craven Community College will complete an evaluation of transfer credits that

may have been earned from another college or university or through advanced placement or

other examinations. Prospective transfer students must submit an official copy of transcripts

from all previous college(s) from which credits are to be considered. Only previous college

courses completed with a grade of ―C‖ (2.0) or higher will be eligible for transfer consideration.

Transfer students must complete 25% of their coursework at Craven Community College to be

eligible for graduation. Any credit earned with a grade of ―C‖ or higher at an accredited

institution will be accepted at Craven Community College provided it is appropriate to the

student’s program and a comparable course is offered. The catalog and/or course descriptions

from other institutions attended may be required for evaluation before credit is granted. Course

work over fifteen years old may not be accepted. Evaluation of such credits will be made on an

individual basis. Military members are also requested to submit their SMART transcripts for

evaluation and recommendation of credit to be awarded due to completion of service schools.

Craven Community College awards academic credit for course work taken on a noncredit basis if

proficiency in the course is evidenced. As indicated in the College Catalog on page 75 (Previous

Learning Experiences), "A student who is currently enrolled, or who has completed all admission


__________________________________________________________________________

71

requirements, may receive college credit if he/she evidences proficiency in a course or courses

due to previous work or educational experiences." The evidence may be provided through Credit

by Examination, in which case the Registrar awards the credit based upon established criteria, or

through Departmental Examinations in which case the appropriate Dean makes arrangement for

administering and assessing the exam.

The College also recognizes previous education/training and experience of military personnel. At

the Registrar’s discretion, in collaboration with the Chair/Instructor, credit is awarded based on

the student's military transcript (see Procedures for Awarding Credit to former Military and

Military Students; What SMART contains; and the Military Training Crosswalk Info and

Recommendation).

3.26: What are the institution’s limits on academic residency requirements for

active duty service members?

orientation tours are scheduled at the beginning of each semester and at the specific requests of

an instructor. Classes cover all areas of the collection and can be specialized to the needs of the

instructor and the class. Classes are conducted in the library or in classrooms. These classes use a

variety of methods including PowerPoint presentations, hands on exercises, and use of LAN

School software to replicate searches to student's individual computers. Individual instruction is

provided on request at the reference desk.

Online Catalog

The library is part of the community college consortium called CCLINC. Patrons may view both

the library's own collection and those of other libraries within the consortium. Items may be

placed on hold from campus and from home, and also may be requested from other libraries

within the consortium.

Electronic Databases

Craven Community College provides access to the NCLIVE database collection. Off campus
