General Education

Philosophy

General Education at Northwestern Michigan College promotes the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to function effectively in a changing world. This fosters intellectual curiosity, essential to lifelong learning.

Outcomes

To ensure students experience the benefits of our philosophy of general education, the faculty of NMC commits to instilling these practices throughout the curriculum. COMMUNICATION: Students will practice effective commu-

nication with an awareness of audience and sense of purpose.

CRITICAL THINKING: Students will skillfully conceptualize, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information gathered from observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication.

Program Information

QUANTITATIVE REASONING: Students will accurately use numbers, symbols, measurements, properties, and the relationships of quantities to make sound decisions, judgments, and/or predictions.

Assessment

General Education outcomes are measured in several ways: • Each year faculty members assess student achievement of the General Education Outcomes their courses support. • The Office of Research, Planning & Effectiveness aggregates institutional data so that faculty and departments can assess the level of achievement represented by the student work. • Graduates are surveyed annually and are asked to provide their perceptions of achieving the General Education Outcomes. • The faculty and teaching staff are charged with using the results of assessment to make curricular improvements.

Degrees & Certificates

NMC students may select from several educational options. Associate degrees, bachelor degrees, and certificates are awarded to those students who complete a prescribed set of courses in specific areas of study. Many programs, especially in occupational areas, also lead to additional career licenses or certifications. Maritime programs require four years of full-time study, including summer sessions, and result in a bachelor’s degree at NMC. Associate degree programs generally take two years of full-time study to complete. Certificate programs range 16-59 credits. NMC offers the following degree and certificate options: • Certificate of Achievement Programs • Associate in Applied Science (AAS) • Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) • Associate in General Studies (AGS) • Associate in Science and Arts (ASA) • Bachelor of Science (BS)

Earning a Second Associate Degree

Students may earn additional degrees at NMC. A minimum of 15 earned hours (credits) shall be earned from NMC in addition to the required credits for the previous degree. Students seeking an additional associate degree shall be governed by the following stipulations: • Students may earn only one Associate in Science and Arts degree • Students may earn the Associate in General Studies degree only as their first associate degree with the exception of students who are enrolled in the AGS/Pre-ADN, AGS/ Pre-PN, AGS/Pre-Dental or AGS/Pre-Surgical Tech program • Program requirements for the additional degree will be based on the catalog that is in effect when the student officially switches to the new program • Previous credits will be evaluated by the Records Office for transfer to the additional degree as applicable • This policy does not apply to certificates

Reverse Transfer

A transfer student may complete an associate’s degree concurrent with his or her pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. This process is called reverse transfer. It enables NMC students who transfer to a four-year institution before completing an associate’s degree to use coursework and credits earned at the transfer school to fulfill degree requirements at NMC. Students enrolled at one of NMC’s Reverse Transfer partners should submit the appropriate Reverse Transfer Release form to the partner school’s Office of the Registrar. Students enrolled at non-partner schools may also reverse transfer credits. To begin the process, submit a transcript from the four-year institution to NMC. After review, NMC will inform students of their successful degree completion, or whether they have unsatisfied degree requirements remaining. 6

2019 - 2020 NMC CATALOG

Cultural Perspective/Diversity

Students will evaluate connections between worldviews, power structures, and experiences of multiple cultures historically or in contemporary contexts. In order for NMC graduates to engage as educated and informed citizens of a diverse society, students pursuing the ASA, AGS, and BS degrees are required to take one Cultural Perspective/Diversity course. Courses are listed on pages 1314 and are marked with an asterisk (*).

Certificate Requirements

Certificate Programs typically include specialty courses and may include some general education requirements. In most cases, they are designed for concentrated proficiency in specialized areas. Certificates may range from 16 to 59 credit hours as established by individual program areas and/or the Curriculum Committee. Many certificate courses may apply toward an associate degree.

Group 1 & 2 Courses

Group 1 General Education courses are designed to enhance skills and knowledge for students to succeed in academic, career and life goals. Students pursuing a two-year degree will need to fulfill specific general education requirements by selecting courses from Group 1 based on the degree requirements listed on the following pages. The Group 1 courses are listed on pages 13-14 of this catalog. Group 2 courses are all remaining 100-level courses or above, which may fulfill occupational specialty program requirements, major area requirements, and elective requirements for degree and certificate programs.

Program Information

Certificate Program requirements include: 1. A specified group of credit hours in an area of specializa tion, as determined by the appropriate NMC academic area. These three levels are possible: • Level I: A minimum of 16 credits in a specialty area; • Level II: A minimum of 30 credits in a specialty area; • Level III: A minimum of 45 credits in a specialty area. 2. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Higher GPA standards may be required for specific courses within individual academic areas. 3. Level I and II certificate programs require that a mini mum of eight credit hours be completed at NMC (this may be waived in extenuating circumstances; contact the registrar). Level III certificate programs require that a minimum of 12 credit hours be completed at NMC (this may be waived in extenuating circumstances; contact the registrar). 4. Competency testing by the responsible academic area if the course work was not completed at NMC. *Competency credit: Students with competency in a specific area should consult with their program coordinator for possible testing and/or credit. Certificate programs are listed in the Occupational Programs section of this catalog.

Global Endorsement

NMC offers a Global Endorsement on the college transcript for students who have acquired a minimum of 100 Global Endorsement points prior to graduation. Depending on one’s degree, points may be earned in a variety of ways, but must be made up of a minimum number in each of the three following categories: academic coursework, on- and offcampus global experiences, and international events. Visit the International Services web page for complete details on the requirements needed to complete the endorsement. For a list of qualifying courses please visit www.nmc.edu/international-services.

Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)

In an effort to improve the transferability of college courses between Michigan public community colleges and universities, MTA took effect beginning the fall of 2014. Students who began prior to fall of 2014 will be able to complete the existing MACRAO agreement until the end of summer 2019. If a student already has the MACRAO agreement stamp on their transcript it is expected that the receiving institution will still honor it. To fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) students must successfully complete at least 30 Group 1 semester credit hours. Students must earn a grade of 2.0 or higher in each MTA course in order for it to count toward the minimum MTA requirements. Credits are distributed as follows: • English Composition: Two courses - 6 credits. • Humanities: Two Group 1 courses - 6 credits taken from two different departments excluding studio and performance classes. • Mathematics: One Group 1 course – 3 credits – MTH 120 or higher. • Natural Sciences: Two Group 1 courses - 6 credits from two different departments. One course must include a lecture/lab. • Social Sciences: Two Group 1 courses - 6 credits from two different departments. Students are required to complete at least one for-credit course at NMC before requesting the MTA Satisfied endorsement. It must be a college level course but need not be from the areas represented in the MTA. When students have completed the MTA requirements, they should notify the NMC Records Office so their transcripts will be noted “MTA SATISFIED.” Students are not required to complete an associate degree in order to satisfy the MTA. Some students select a course of study that requires a fouryear degree of which two years may be completed at NMC through completion of the Associate in Science and Arts degree (ASA). Students completing the ASA will also complete the MTA. See page 8 for ASA degree requirements.

This program is designed for either the person with little or no prior experience or the skilled technician who needs to keep pace with current technology. Students may take the classes they need to update skills, pursue an Associate in Applied Science degree, which combines automotive technician classes with courses in the liberal arts and sciences, or work toward a Master Technician Certificate, which qualifies graduates to enter the workplace as entry-level state-certified technicians. Students may also choose from three specialized certificates: Hybrid Technology, Under Car Specialist or Electrical and Drivability Specialist. The certificates are explained in more detail in the proceeding pages. All eight state or ASE certifications must be passed to be awarded the AAS degree or Master Technician Certificate. Day and evening classes allow technicians at every level to develop new skills at convenient times. The program is a series of modules, each designed to teach an individual system. This flexibility allows the more experienced technician to learn a specific system while the beginning technician can combine the modules for a complete course in automotive technology.

Early Childhood Education and Care NMC offers two pathways to reaching foundation level certification or credentials related to early care and education. These programs of study are CDA/NMC Cohort and Early Childhood Certificate of Achievement. Completing one or both programs provides preparation for careers for many levels of teaching and caring for children in preschools, child daycare and before and after school programs. For some individuals, those currently working in the field of early education, the CDA Cohort pathway provides the training hours and support needed for students to complete the National CDA (Child Development Associate) credentialing process as they earn college credit. NMC in partnership with the Great Start Network and TEACH of Michigan provide training and financial support for eligible students. Students in this program will complete their CDA training and credentialing requirements along with earning nine early childhood college credits. These early education credits can be used for pursuing a Certificate of Achievement or Associate of Applied Science degree in Early Childhood Education. Students interested in this pathway will need to contact the Early Childhood program coordinator for special instructions. Certificate of Achievement (Level II)

NMC Code 002

This certificate program is designed to meet the qualifications for center directors and lead teachers required by Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Licensing Rules for Child Care Centers. Students completing the Early Childhood Education and Care Certificate will reliably demonstrate the working knowledge of child development from conception to age 10 and possess the skills necessary for teaching and administering early care and education programs. This is a building block program that provides more than half of the 60 credits required for an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Early Childhood Education. Students interested in the certificate program are encouraged to work closely with the Early Childhood Education Program coordinator. A 2.0 GPA must be maintained to receive the certificate.

Nursing - Associate Degree Program Requirements

Great Lakes Maritime Academy Bachelor of Science

NMC Code 860

The Power Systems Program is designed to prepare individuals for employment in power production industries such as power plants, hospitals, industrial plants, and manufacturing plants. Operators in such industries read, interpret and adjust meters and gauges to make sure plant equipment and processes are working properly. Some operate chemical-feeding devices, take samples of the water or liquid waste, perform chemical and biological laboratory analysis and adjust the amount of chemicals such as chlorine in the water. Some use a variety of instruments to sample and measure water quality and common hand and power tools to make repairs. Operators also make repairs to valves, pumps and other equipment. As facilities become more sophisticated and industry demands more from those individuals who maintain and operate these physical plants, there is a need for intense technical training for these positions. Students at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy obtain these goals through classes in mathematics, science and occupational courses. Cadets also have hands-on experience through labs and internships for practical training.

Student Rights and Responsibilities / NMC Policies Student Rights and Responsibilities (Policy D-602.01) The purpose of the Student Rights and Responsibilities statement is to define a student’s basic rights within the college community, state what actions students may expect from the college to protect those rights, and explain the college’s expectations of its student members, including the standards by which student behaviors are measured. This statement describes unacceptable student behavior and outlines the procedures by which students are disciplined if they engage in unacceptable conduct. www.nmc.edu/about/policies/ board-staff/D-602.01.html

Academic Policies

Northwestern Michigan College is committed to open access to higher education and to your academic success. Our intent is to offer support and remediation for students who are considered at risk of academic failure.

Attendance

Attendance is critical to student academic progress. Even though attendance expectations may differ from course to course, you are expected to be present, prepared, and be active participants in your classes. Students will receive a written attendance policy from the instructor at the first class meeting. A student who is repeatedly absent from class without good reason may be withdrawn from the course by the instructor.

Credit for Prior Learning

Student Handbook

Students who have achieved competency in certain skill or course work areas may receive credit for classes or waivers of prerequisite classes. This competency could be gained through life, work, or military experience; vocational training at an area vocational, career or skill center; or completion of high school advanced placement courses. Assessment of proficiences may be demonstrated through the following options: • AP (Advanced Placement) credit achieved through high school courses; • CLEP (College Level Examination Program); • ACE (American Council on Education) for veterans; • DSST (Dantes Subject Standardized Test); • Competency Assessment in some NMC courses; • Course waiver; • Articulation credit for work at the Traverse Bay Area Career Tech Center Students who wish to pursue credit or waivers for competencies should go to www.nmc.edu/records or contact the NMC Registrar in the Records and Registration Office in the Tanis Building. Students wanting information or to register for the CLEP exam should call (231) 995-1360. 150

www.nmc.edu

Transfer Credit Equivalences

Quarter credits or other units of credit transferred in will be converted to semester credits. To convert quarter hours, multiply the quarter hours by 2/3 to equate to semester hour. The converted quarter hours must equal the required semester credits for the purpose of satisfying graduation requirements.

Adding Classes

Courses are set up in sessions which vary by the number of weeks they meet (15-week, 8-week, 5-week, etc.). Students may add available courses up through the day before the session begins. Once the session begins, permission to add may be required from the Academic Chair or Office Manager (not the instructor). Not all academic areas will allow registration after the session has started.

Dropping Classes

Students may officially drop classes during the designated Registration/Add/Drop/Refund dates for the semester. These dates include a drop without record period which means the course will not be reflected on the official transcript, and a drop with record period which means a grade of “W” (Withdrawn) will be assigned to the course and noted on the official transcript. A grade of “W” will not affect the NMC grade point average. It is the student’s responsibility to drop their course(s), notify their instructor(s) of the drop, and be aware of any financial obligations. Students dropping some or all of their classes may complete the process through NMC Self Service if there are no holds present on their record. This may also be done by completing an Enrollment/Drop/Add Form and submitting it to the Enrollment Services office. This may be done in person (Tanis Building) or by email to records@nmc.edu. The date the form is received in the Enrollment Services office will be considered the official date of the withdrawal. Questions about this process may be directed to Enrollment Services at (231) 995-1049. Dropping a class is not permitted during the last 25 percent of the session in which the course is offered. Students who wish to drop classes online and have a hold present on their record may call (231) 995-1049 for options. In most cases, the hold may be temporarily removed to allow the drop.

2019 - 2020 NMC CATALOG

THE FOLLOWING ARE STANDARD GRADES AT NORTHWESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE:

4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.0 S U I W FA AU

- outstanding - excellent - good - above average - average - below average - deficient - failed - satisfactory - unsatisfactory - incomplete - withdrawn - failed to attend - audit

S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) may be given to designate the level of performance in courses which evaluate completion of specified competencies. (For designated courses only.) I

(incomplete) may be given in unusual cases and at the discretion of the instructor if it is believed that the student has a valid reason for not having completed the course work and can fulfill the requirements of the course during the next semester. An incomplete not made up by the end of the next semester automatically becomes a 0.0. Incompletes may be extended one additional semester at the discretion of the instructor.

W (withdrawn) will be given to students who are officially withdrawn from their class after the add period and before the last twenty-five percent of the session. FA (failed to attend)—may be given by an instructor if a student registered for a course but did not attend and did not officially drop. AU (audit) may be issued at the time of registration upon full payment of tuition and fees if a student wishes to attend a class without college academic credit or a grade. Changing from audit to credit may take place during the period allowed for adding a class at the beginning of the semester. Changing from credit to audit may take place before the last twenty-five percent of the session. All pertinent dates are listed in the class schedule. GOOD STANDING

You are considered to be in academic good standing when you have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0. GRADE POINT AVERAGE

Grade point average (GPA) is a weighted average of grades. A grade for a course is multiplied by the credit hours for that course to obtain “points.” Total points are then divided by total credit hours to determine the grade point average. A GPA calculator is available online.

When a course is repeated, both the most recent grade and the previous grade will appear on the transcript (official academic record). However, only the last grade will be counted in the NMC cumulative GPA. Grades of S, U, I, W, FA, and AU are not used in the computation of grade point averages. Consult with the Advising Center with questions. DEAN’S LIST

Students who have completed six or more credits and achieved a semester grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher qualify for the Dean’s List. Each student receives a congratulatory letter from the Vice President for Educational Services. Dean’s List students will have their names listed in the lobby between the Biederman and Tanis buildings, and posted online. GRADE POINT RE-EVALUATION

Northwestern Michigan College offers you an opportunity to improve upon a cumulative grade point average by repeating a course or courses, or by petitioning for a grade point re-evaluation under special circumstances. These options provide you with the opportunity to achieve a cumulative grade point average that is truly representative of your capabilities. You may pursue this option by calling the Advising Center for petitions and further information: (231) 995-1040. Transfer institutions may or may not recognize GPA re-evaluation. For more information on GPA re-evaluation, visit www.nmc.edu/records and click on “grades.”

Academic Probation

Any student whose cumulative grade point average is below a 2.0 is considered academically at risk and will be placed on academic probation. The purpose of academic probation is to assure careful academic planning and referral to support services while the student attempts to improve his or her academic record. SUPPORT & INTERVENTION FOR STUDENTS ON ACADEMIC PROBATION

Any student who is on probation must meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for any semester or session until the status of probation is removed. This enables the student to build a realistic academic program and receive appropriate referrals to support services that afford the maximum possibility for success. Students who are on probation may not take more than 12 semester credits during fall/spring semester, or six credits during the summer session. The status of academic probation is removed when the student’s cumulative grade point average becomes 2.0 or higher.

Academic Suspension

When a student has been on academic probation for two semesters and is unable to maintain a current grade point average of 2.0 or higher the following semester, that student will be suspended from academic enrollment for a period of one semester (excluding summer.) This means the student will sit out for one full semester, either fall or spring. The official transcript will reflect this action. www.nmc.edu

2019 - 2020 NMC CATALOG

REINSTATEMENT FOLLOWING ACADEMIC SUSPENSION

A student who has been academically suspended is encouraged to petition the Registrar for reinstatement when the waiting period is over if he/she feels that sufficient changes have occurred to enable academic success. This petition must be made in writing at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester for which the student is seeking re-entry. Include in the petition: 1. Circumstances that you feel will lead to better academic performance 2. Your goals at NMC; for example, major filed of study and career plans 3. Your plans regarding employment if you are reinstated

Grade Alert

Learning is dependent upon regular feedback regarding student performance. Students and instructors are both responsible for this communication. Students achieving less than a 2.0 in any 15-week class may receive notification to their NMC email around the midpoint of the academic session encouraging them to contact their instructor.

Repeating Courses

Northwestern Michigan College offers you an opportunity to improve upon a cumulative GPA by repeating a course or courses. All courses and grades will appear on the transcript (official academic record); however, only the last grade will be counted in the cumulative grade point average. Most courses at NMC can be taken a maximum of three times. Exceptions are activity courses such as physical education and applied music. Financial Aid may have further restrictions and should be consulted.

Transcripts

Student Handbook

Official transcripts of a student’s academic record are released only at the request of the student. Northwestern Michigan College has partnered with Parchment to ensure security for all transactions, and allows current students and alumni to submit online orders for certified eTranscripts or paper transcripts. Transcripts are issued only if all financial obligations have been settled with NMC and there are no active holds on the student record that prevent the release of transcripts. Refer to the Records and Registration webpage for more information, ordering instructions, and fees.

Inclement Weather Policy

It is the policy of Northwestern Michigan College to maintain normal operations on regularly scheduled days, except in very rare cases when severe weather conditions prevent this. It is further the policy of NMC that each staff member and student will make his or her own determination concerning attendance on unfavorable travel days.

152

www.nmc.edu

Given unfavorable weather conditions, NMC may delay or close, in which case the following actions will be taken: • For daytime classes, a decision to delay the opening of the college or close entirely will be communicated before 5:30 a.m. • For evening schedules, delays or closings will be announced by 3 p.m. There is a possibility that NMC would cancel all day classes and hold evening classes. • If the college delays opening, students should report to class at the designated opening time. If a student’s class begins before the designated opening time, that class would be canceled unless one-hour of instruction remains after the designated opening time. Up-to-date information regarding class cancellations and college closures will be communicated on the NMC web page at www.nmc.edu/ student-services/class-cancellations. • College delays or closures will be reported to area radio and television stations (a list of stations is available in the Public Relations and Marketing office) campus video monitors, NMC’s general information number (231) 995-1000, and NMC website. • College delays or closures will be reported via email to all faculty, staff and students via NMC email accounts, and via text message to those students who are subscribed to receive alerts on their cell phones. • For weekend academic courses, the college closure/delay decision will first be enforced. If, on the other hand, a faculty member determines he/she cannot make it to campus for their particular class, the faculty member teaching the weekend course will update his/her voicemail greeting with the class cancellation information. Weekend students should then call their instructor’s voicemail rather than the 24-hour phone line.

In order to improve the instruction offered at Northwestern Michigan College and to meet the requirements of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act, Section 113 and the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Section 122, we will be using your Social Security Number in order to compile summary reports. Section 113 of the Carl D. Perkins and Technical Education Act, 20 USC 2323, and section 122 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, 29 USC 2842, requires Northwestern Michigan College and the State of Michigan to assess the effectiveness of vocational and technical education programs aimed at training, placement, and retention of students in employment.

Northwestern Michigan College reports currently enrolled student status to the National Student Clearinghouse each semester. This information is provided to assist students to defer repayment of student loans during the time a student is enrolled. Information is also provided to verify degrees earned and may be used by potential employers who contact the National Student Clearinghouse. Students may access the Clearinghouse website through NMC’s secure website to obtain verification of their student status to be used for insurance purposes.
