Department of Academic
To successfully guide students through the Advisor Agreement educational process, The College of Health Services and Careers has developed policies, rules, and regulations. Students have a responsibility to acquire information regarding these policies, processes, rules, and regulations by thoroughly studying the College catalog and the Student Handbook. To enhance their knowledge and/or clear up any misunderstanding, students should visit with their advisors periodically. Thereby, students can receive the academic advice that is needed to ascertain the appropriate development of course schedules leading to the fulfillment of requirements for graduation in a timely manner. One of the College’s major responsibilities is to provide special services that meet the educational needs of college students who are inadequately prepared for regular college work. Among these services are: (1) individualized instruction; (2) counseling; (3) tutoring; (4) a course called College Orientation and Career Developments; and (5) a well-planned series of learning activities, including classroom and laboratory work, in which under prepared students may develop basic academic skills. These are the components of the College’s Developmental Education Program.
Academic Standard
Academic Integrety
The College of Health Services and Careers is committed to the growth and learning of our students. Intellectual and moral growth requires an environment in which people deal with each other with truthfulness and integrity. The fair and straightforward representation of what one has actually learned, researched and/or written is the foundation of a healthy environment for learning. Professors, administrators, and students alike are responsible for upholding high moral and ethical standards of academic honesty in all academic endeavors. The college is committed to the principle of academic freedom as it seeks to carry out its teaching and learning programs. Scholarly investigation is encouraged through research. Each instructional faculty member has freedom in the exposition of his/her subject and is free to discuss controversial issues within competency areas in the classroom, but must be careful not to introduce materials, which have no relation to the courses being taught.
