HISTORY
Coastal Carolina Community College evolved out of a need to provide higher
education and training to the people of Onslow County, to improve their qual-
ity of life, to help them achieve their dreams, and to make this community a
better place to live.
As early as 1957, the State of North Carolina recognized the need to oer
additional post-high school education and training for its residents. By 1962,
the General Assembly approved the development of twenty industrial edu-
cation centers. The next year, the Onslow County Board of Education and
the Superintendent of Public Schools, Mr. J. Paul Tyndall, asked the Onslow
County Commissioners to purchase forty acres on U.S. Highway 17 to estab-
lish an industrial education center as a satellite of the Lenoir County Technical
Institute.
The untiring eorts of Representatives Hugh A. Ragsdale and William D. Mills,
and Senator Carl Venters led to the appropriation from the 1965 General
Assembly for a separate institution for Onslow County. The North Carolina
State Board of Education approved the Onslow Industrial Education Center
on July 1, 1965.
4
The rst curriculum classes—Brick Masonry, Welding, Auto Mechanics, Air
Conditioning and Refrigeration, and Licensed Practical Nursing—were oered
during the evening in September 1965.
Early on, the rising enrollment at the Industrial Education Center made
it clear that the post-secondary education needs in the area were wide
and varied. In the fall of 1965, the people of Onslow County voted by
referendum for a seven-cents-per-one-hundred-dollars ad valorem tax
increase to support the Industrial Education Center. The Board of Trustees,
realizing that a technical institute could more adequately provide voca-
tional and technical education opportunity for the area, requested that
the State Board of Education grant technical institute status to the center.
Onslow Industrial Education Center became Onslow Technical Institute on
May 4, 1967.
Once again, the rapidly increasing educational demands on Onslow Technical
Institute encouraged the Board of Trustees to seek new status. Just between
the years 1968 and 1969, student enrollment grew from 281 to 1,142. Onslow
Technical Institute was granted community college status July 1, 1970, and
became Coastal Carolina Community College.
In 1972, seventy-ve acres on Western Boulevard were secured for the
new community college. That same year, with the dedication of the Hugh A.
Ragsdale Building, the Board of Trustees started to relocate the College to its
new campus on Western Boulevard. For several years thereafter, the College
operated on a split campus until relocation was completed in 1978. The timing
couldn’t have been better because 1978 was the rst year that Coastal’s
enrollment exceeded 3,000 students.
To fund the 1970 master plan of Coastal, which included ten buildings, a $4
million bond issue was proposed. In November 1974, 58 percent of Onslow
County voters approved the bond issue. Ten buildings would be constructed
over the next seventeen years.
From 1963 to 1988, under the leadership of Dr. James Leroy Henderson,
Jr., the Onslow County Industrial Education Center grew from one full-time
employee, 325 extension students, and 40 acres on an abandoned prison
camp to a community college with 200 employees, fty-seven curricula, 3,385
curriculum students, 3,795 extension students, and a 98-acre main campus,
with education units at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps
Air Station New River.
Dr. Henderson was the rst and only President of Coastal until his retirement
on June 30, 1988. His guidance, vision, and extraordinary commitment to the
College over a twenty-ve year period helped to make the institution what
it is today. Because of his steadfast dedication and loyalty to this institution
for a quarter of a century, the College bestowed on Dr. Henderson the title,
President Emeritus.
5
In 1988, Dr. Ronald K. Lingle became the College's second President. Under
Dr. Lingle’s leadership, Coastal re-committed itself to educational excellence
through a series of themes—educational quality, student success, investment
in technology, promotion of economic development, and commitment to team-
work and partnerships. Those themes became the benchmark on which the
College would measure its value and worth.
Under Dr. Lingle’s leadership, Coastal assumed a greater role in the economic
development of the community, helping to diversify the local labor market and
pointing out the county’s best assets, including the community college, to
businesses interested in relocating here.
His understanding of and belief in partnerships has strengthened the College's
relationship with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air
Station New River, as well as its relationship with the University of North
Carolina Wilmington (UNCW).
In 1995, Coastal and UNCW formed an articulation agreement, which guaran-
tees that Coastal Associate in Arts and Associate in Science graduates who
have maintained at least a “B” average will be admitted to UNCW as juniors.
Also, Coastal, UNCW, Onslow County Schools, and Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune have developed a partnership to oer “two plus two” teacher training
for elementary education. Onslow County citizens can complete all of their
coursework on Coastal’s campus, and Onslow County Schools has an invalu-
able source of additional—and badly needed—certied teachers.
Coastal takes great pride in its partnership with the local military community,
which has grown tremendously over the years and has expanded in new direc-
tions. Forty to fty percent of the students enrolled at Coastal are active duty
military and their family members. The College oers eight-week semester
courses on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and on Marine Corps Air Station
New River to accommodate the rigorous and unpredictable military work
schedule. More than six hundred Marines, Sailors, and their family members
enroll in Coastal’s fty college transfer classes oered on the base and on the
air station. Hundreds of Marines and Sailors enroll in online classes while they
are deployed and when their work schedule prevents them from taking tradi-
tional classes. Coastal’s Division of Continuing Education serves more military
personnel than any of the other fty-seven community colleges in the state.
As the number of students has grown at the College, so has the need to house
those students. In 1991, the College opened the A.D. Guy Business Technology
Building. The building was named in honor of Senator A.D. Guy for his many
years of long, continuous, and outstanding service to the College. Five years
later, the College celebrated the new Kenneth B. Hurst Continuing Education
Building. Mr. Hurst served as a College Trustee for twenty-three years.
6
In 2000, the approval of the state’s largest higher education bond referendum
of $3.1 billion gave Coastal $19.4 million to upgrade its infrastructure and to
build a new Math and Science Technology Building that would accommodate
the growing demand for science classes and labs. This building opened spring
semester 2007. In 2016, the building was renamed for W.D. "Billy" Mills, a
prominent former Senator whose eorts contributed to the early development
of the campus.
Since 2007, the College has focused on enhancing the overall campus
appearance in order to create a physical environment conducive to student
engagement and learning. Within the available resources, the College has
added covered walkways, provided outside gathering spaces with enhanced
landscaping, provided vehicular and pedestrian signage, renovated the
College cafeteria, and installed wireless internet access throughout the
campus.
The Culinary/Hospitality Building, located 1.2 miles south of campus, opened
in 2016, providing state-of-the-art facilities for the Culinary Arts and Hospitality
Management programs. The Institutional Support Services Building, funded
by Onslow County, opened in January 2017.
For several years, the College has committed resources for sustaining a safe
and secure campus environment in support of enhanced learning and student
success. The institution's focus on crisis communication and security includes
installation of a public address system, emergency towers, lockable classroom
and lab doors, emergency phones, motion sensitive lighting, and surveillance
cameras.
In January 2017, upon Dr. Lingle's retirement, Mr. David L. Heatherly was
named as the third President of Coastal Carolina Community College.
Furthermore, the Board of Trustees bestowed the recognition of President
Emeritus to Dr. Ronald K. Lingle for his years of outstanding service. Mr.
Heatherly, having completed his 42
nd
year at Coastal, is ready for the chal-
lenge of leading Coastal in the new millennium. Under his leadership, Onslow
Early College High School was opened on the campus in fall 2017. This initia-
tive is a partnership between Onslow County Schools and Coastal Carolina
Community College.
Coastal's unwavering commitment to educational quality and student success
has made its transfer students and its graduates some of the most competitive
individuals in higher education and in the workforce.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS
The Performance Measures for Student Success Report is the North Carolina
Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual
report is based on data compiled from the previous year and serves to inform
colleges and the public on the performances of the 58 community colleges. In
2010, a Performance Measures Committee was established to develop new
performance-based student success measures to go into eect in 2013. During
the development of these measures, it was determined that it was important
to establish a three-year review process to ensure the measures and meth-
ods for evaluating colleges were current and remained focused on improving
student success. The results shown in the North Carolina Community College
System’s 2020 Performance Measures for Student Success are as follows.

STUDENT COMPLAINTS
Coastal Carolina Community College seeks to resolve student complaints
in an expeditious manner. As a matter of practice, Coastal subscribes to the
philosophy that student complaints are best resolved on an informal basis.
Informal Complaint Process
When a student has a complaint, he/she should initially seek an informal
resolution by raising the complaint directly with the relevant sta or faculty
member. All unresolved complaints should be referred to the direct supervisor.
Note: While students are encouraged to talk about their complaints directly
with the person(s) concerned, this approach may not always be appropriate.
In circumstances in which students believe it is not appropriate to raise the
issue directly with the person(s) of concern, they may make the complaint to
the appropriate supervisor.
15
Written Student Complaints
When informal procedures do not resolve concerns, for privacy and/or security
reasons, all written complaints must be submitted through traditional or elec-
tronic mail to the Oce of the President, who will determine the appropriate
College personnel to review the complaint.
It is expected that students making written complaints will demonstrate they
have attempted to resolve their concerns through informal procedures. The
written complaint should include the name and contact information of the stu-
dent ling the complaint and a brief description of the complaint or concern.
The student should receive written acknowledgement of the complaint within
ten (10) working days.
The complaint will be reviewed and a collaborative eort will be made to
resolve the complaint. Within twenty (20) working days of receipt of the writ-
ten acknowledgement of the complaint, the student will receive notication
of the resolution of the complaint, or of the College’s position concerning the
complaint, from the appropriate Vice President.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM COMPLAINT
PROCEDURE
After a student has exhausted the College’s complaint or grievance proce-
dures, if a matter remains unresolved, a formal complaint may be led with
the online Student Complaint Portal. The Portal is hosted by the Licensure
Division of the University of North Carolina System Oce. The Portal can be
found online at https://studentcomplaints.northcarolina.edu.
A student can also complete a Student Complaint Form, by accessing the
aforementioned Portal, and submit the complaint to:
North Carolina Post-Secondary Education Complaints
c/o Student Complaints
University of North Carolina System Oce
910 Raleigh Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27515-2688
Students are required to work through the campus complaint process before
escalating issues to the North Carolina Community College System Oce
(NCCCSO) through the Student Complaint Portal. The NCCCSO cannot oer
legal advice to complainants and does not act as a student’s agent, advocate,
or attorney. Any information provided by NCCCSO sta is not to be interpreted
as legal advice. The scope of the review done by the NCCCSO will be limited
to a review of the complaint, ensuring the college processes have been fol-
lowed, and ensuring that State Board code has been followed. In some cases,
the NCCCSO may have a discussion with a college to obtain further details
about the complaint.
16
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Coastal Carolina Community College is committed to an environment free of
inappropriate and disrespectful conduct and communication of a sexual nature.
Coastal Carolina Community College strongly opposes sexual harassment in
any form. Sexual harassment is against College policy and is a violation of
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments
of 1972, as well as the applicable laws of this state.
Any student who believes that he or she has been subjected to sexual harass-
ment in violation of this policy should make a complaint to the Oce of the

guidelines for providing seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities
for eligible high school students in order to accelerate completion of college
certicates, diplomas and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or
provide entry-level job skills. Eligible high school students may enroll in a
College Transfer Pathway program of study leading to the awarding of spe-
cic college transfer credit and/or Career and Technical Education Pathway
program of study leading to a certicate or diploma aligned with an identied
career cluster.
Eligible college courses will be selected from authorized programs of study

ONSLOW EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL
Coastal Carolina Community College has an Early College, the Onslow Early
College High School (OECHS), in cooperation with Onslow County Schools.
The OECHS provides students the opportunity to graduate high school while
also pursuing an associate degree and provides an opportunity to transfer to
a four-year institution.
23
The Onslow Early College High School, also referred to as a Cooperative
Innovative High School (CIHS), is comprehensive in nature and focused in its
design. While many Onslow County students enroll in Career and College
Promise (CCP) dual enrollment courses, the CCP is not an organized program
of study for associate degree completion; however, the OECHS will provide
specic college transfer pathways, carefully selected to structure degree com-
pletion opportunities, providing a seamless connection between high school,
community college, universities, and, eventually, careers. The target popu-
lation includes college-ready high school students who would benet from
accelerated academic instruction, with a goal of targeting greater than 25%
college-ready, rst-generation students.
EQUAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY POLICY
Coastal Carolina Community College (Coastal), in compliance with and
as required by Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 and its
implementing regulations (Title IX) and other civil rights laws, as well as in
furtherance of its own values as a higher education institution, does not dis
-
criminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation,
gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, disability, age, religion,
veteran status, or any other characteristic or status protected by applicable
local, state, or federal law in admission, treatment, or access to, or employ-
ment in, its programs and activities.
Discrimination and harassment are antithetical to the values and standards of
the Coastal community; are incompatible with the safe, healthy environment
that the Coastal community expects and deserves and will not be tolerated.
Coastal is committed to providing programs, activities, and an education and
work environment free from discrimination and harassment. Coastal is also
committed to fostering a community that promotes prompt reporting and fair
and timely resolution of those behaviors.
In appreciation for their service to this state and country during a period of
war, and in recognition of the time and advantage lost toward the pursuit of a
civilian career, all eligible veterans as dened in G.S. 128-15 shall be granted
preference in hiring decisions to the extent allowed by statute.
It is the policy of this institution not to discriminate on the basis of sex in the
admission requirements, educational programs, activities, or employment poli-
cies as required by Title IX in the Educational Amendments of 1972.
In conformance with the provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other
applicable laws and regulations, Coastal Carolina Community College will
not discriminate against any student, employee, or applicant for admission or
employment because of physical disabilities.
24
The main campus of Coastal Carolina Community College has been designed
with the elimination of physical obstacles so that all buildings, washrooms,
laboratories and classrooms are readily accessible to and usable by those
with physical disabilities.
Any student or applicant for admission with a disability who wishes to request
some accommodation must contact the Admissions Oce and ask for the
Accommodation Request Form. If accommodation is not requested in advance
in order to provide the College sucient and adequate time to meet the student
or applicant's needs, Coastal Carolina Community College cannot guarantee
the availability of a reasonable accommodation when it is needed.
Any student or prospective student who believes that discrimination has
limited any educational opportunity, or any College employee who believes
employment rights have been denied on the basis of discrimination, or any
individual who desires information concerning this policy should contact the
following designated responsible employee: Armative Action Ocer and Title
IX Coordinator, Henderson Administration Building, Phone (910) 938-6788.
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Purpose
The purpose of the student grievance procedure is to provide a system
to channel complaints against a faculty or sta member concerning the
following.
1. Alleged discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, disability or other
conditions, preferences or behavior, excluding sexual harassment
complaints.
Sexual harassment complaints should be directed to the Oce of the
Vice President for Administrative Support Services or her designee.
2.
Academic matters, excluding course grade(s), in which a student has
a grievance.
The right of student appeal related to course grade(s) received is
addressed in the section entitled "Right of Appeal Related to Course
Grades Received."
Procedures
Step 1.
The student should go to the faculty or sta member where the alleged
problem originated. A conference will be scheduled to resolve the
matter equitably and informally at this level. The conference should
take place within ve (5) working days of the incident that gener-
ated the complaint. In resolving complaints, a student may seek the
alternate assistance of the Division Chair for Student Services or his
designee instead of the individual with whom the alleged problem
originated.
25
Step 2.
If the grievance is not resolved at the informal conference with the
faculty or sta member, the student should meet with the faculty or
sta member's direct supervisor within ve (5) working days after
satisfying Step 1. As part of the eort to resolve the student's issue,
the supervisor will consult with the employee against whom the
grievance was led and the appropriate academic Division Chair or
College program director. The supervisor will make every eort to
resolve the matter promptly and fairly and, in any event, within ten
(10) working days of the date presented.
Step 3.
If the grievance is not resolved with the direct supervisor, the stu-
dent may le a written complaint with the Division Chair for Student
Services within ve (5) working days after satisfying Step 2. The
written complaint shall include: (a) date of incident and brief descrip-
tion of the student's grievance; (b) a summary of the supervisor's
response; and (c) the reason the supervisor's response is unsatisfac-
tory. If the complaint (inclusive of required information (a) – (c) listed
above) is not submitted within the specied time period, the subject
of the grievance will be considered settled on the basis of the deci-
sion made at Step 2 of this grievance procedure. Upon receipt of the
written student complaint, the Division Chair for Student Services
will have ve (5) working days to notify the employee against whom
the grievance was led that Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure has
been initiated. Upon notication, the employee shall be given an
opportunity to respond in writing to the Division Chair for Student
Services within ve (5) working days. It is the responsibility of the
Division Chair for Student Services to refer the written student com-
plaint along with the written employee response to the appropriate
Vice President or designee of the President for action within fteen
(15) working days after initial receipt of the written student complaint.
All subsequent decisions concerning the student or the employee
against whom the grievance was led rests with the appropriate Vice
President (hereinafter) referred to as the "Vice President" or desig-
nee of the President.
Step 4.
The Vice President or designee of the President will hear the griev-
ance, review all written information, and interview any persons
necessary to render a written decision within ten (10) working days
after receipt of the student's grievance from the Division Chair for
Student Services. The decision will be forwarded to the grievant and
other persons involved.
Step 5. The decision of the Vice President or designee of the President may
be appealed to the President by either party involved within ten (10)
working days of the decision. Any such appeal shall be in writing,
shall be based solely upon the record, and shall be limited to one
or more of the following grounds: that the nding is not supported
26
by substantial evidence, that a fair hearing was not aorded to the
individual, or that the outcome of the decision was excessive or inap-
propriate. It is the responsibility of the President to make prompt
disposition of all such appeals, and his decision shall be rendered
within thirty (30) working days after receipt of the complete record
of appeal.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS
Student's Responsibility
The College faculty and counseling sta will make every eort to assist stu-
dents in planning appropriate transfer programs. The courses in the transfer
curriculum have been designed to maximize transferability to area senior
institutions. Nonetheless, acceptability of transfer courses may vary from one
institution to another institution. It is the responsibility of students to work
closely with appropriate faculty and academic counselors in order to maximize
ease of transfer to a senior institution.
In general, applicants to senior institutions are considered for transfer if
they have maintained an overall “C” average on coursework attempted and
are in good standing in other respects at the institution from which they are
29
transferring. Also, in some instances, senior institutions will require applicants
to take certain standardized tests to provide supplemental information on
academic aptitude and/or achievement. Finally, although transfer is possible
without completion of the two-year degree, the receipt of the degree may be
benecial to transfer students in gaining acceptance to senior institutions in
that it demonstrates ability to persist in the achievement of a signicant edu-
cational goal.
The transfer student should begin appropriate planning during the rst semes-
ter at Coastal in accordance with the following guidelines.
Each transfer student should:
1. Consult with an academic counselor, faculty advisor, or success coach
during the rst semester about long-range educational and/or career
goals and determine which senior institutions have appropriate educa-
tional programs;
2. Discuss with an academic counselor, faculty advisor, or success coach
other factors that are important in choosing a senior institution, such as
tuition cost, distance from home, institution size, and available extracur-
ricular programs;
3.
Determine with an academic counselor, faculty advisor, or success
coach which senior institutions are best suited in relation to all factors
considered;
4. Contact and/or visit the student's selected senior institution(s) in order
to consult with an admissions ocer and/or faculty advisor to determine
the appropriateness of the planned course of study at Coastal and for
the student’s particular goals;
5. Continue to consult with an academic counselor, faculty advisor, or suc-
cess coach each semester to review progress at Coastal in relation to
transfer goals while making any desirable or necessary adjustments in
planning; and
6.
Apply to more than one senior institution of his/her choice at the earliest
possible date during the second year at Coastal. Application deadline
dates vary from one institution to another. Check by telephone or elec-
tronically to ensure that the completed applications have been received
and are under consideration.
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) addresses the admission
of community college graduates to UNC institutions and the transfer of credits
between institutions within the North Carolina Community College System and
institutions within the University of North Carolina.
The CAA enables North Carolina community college graduates of two-year
Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS) degree programs who
30
are admitted to constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina to
transfer with junior status. A student who completes the Associate in Arts or
Associate in Science degree prior to transfer to a UNC institution will have
fullled the UNC institution's lower-division general education requirements.
The CAA assures admission to one of the 16 UNC institutions with the follow-
ing stipulations.
• Admission is not assured to a specic campus or specic program
or major.
• Students must have graduated from a North Carolina community college
with an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science Degree.
• Students must meet all requirements of the Comprehensive Articulation
Agreement.
• A student must have an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, as
calculated by the college from which he or she graduated, and a grade of
"C" or better in all CAA courses.
• Students must be academically eligible for readmission to the last institu-
tion attended.
• Students must meet judicial requirements of the institution to which the
student applies.
• Students must meet all application requirements at the receiving institu-
tion including the submission of all required documentation by
stated deadlines.
Transfer of Courses Not Originated at North Carolina Community Colleges
Transfer credit for courses that originate at a UNC institution or independent
college or university that is part of the CAA is acceptable as part of a stu-
dent's successfully completed general education core or Associate in Arts or
Associate in Science program under the CAA.
Transfer courses that do not originate at a NC community college may be used
under the CAA with the following stipulations.
• Courses must be from a regionally accredited (e.g., SACSCOC) institu-
tion of higher education;
• Courses must meet general education requirements; and
• Courses may total no more than 14 semester hours of general education
course credit.
• For courses not originating at a NC community college, if the courses are
used to complete the AA or AS, the courses will transfer as part of the
degree. Otherwise, if 14 hours or less are presented without completion
of the AA or AS, then the receiving institution will consider the courses on
a course-by-course basis.
31
The CAA policies extend to high school students taking college coursework
through the NC Community College System and/or the constituent universities
of the University of North Carolina.
Transfer of Courses for Non-Graduates
A North Carolina community college student who satisfactorily completes,
with a grade of "C" or better, courses identied in the Universal General
Education Transfer Component will receive credit applied toward the univer-
sity's lower-division general education course requirements, subject to the
following distribution: maximum of 6 hours in English Composition, 9 hours in
Humanities/Fine Arts/Communications, 9 hours in Social/Behavioral Sciences,
8 hours in Mathematics, and 8 hours in Natural Sciences.
A North Carolina community college student who satisfactorily completes
a transfer course that is not designated as a Universal General Education
Transfer Component course will receive transfer credit for the course. The
receiving institution will determine whether the course will count as general
education, pre-major, or elective credit.
In accordance with the terms of the CAA, any transfer student who disagrees
with the amount of transfer credit accepted by a North Carolina community
college or by an institution in the UNC system may le a grievance within the
rst six weeks of the beginning of the term for which admission was oered.
A student may obtain a CAA Student Grievance Form from the Admissions
Oce of the college or university to which he/she was admitted.
If a student is denied admission to a UNC institution, then he or she will be
notied in writing by the institution. In this notication, the student will be
directed to the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) website (www.
cfnc.org) where the student will be given information regarding space availabil-
ity and contacts in the respective UNC Admissions oces. It is the student's
responsibility to contact each institution's admissions oce to get specic
information about admissions and available majors.
In the rare instance that the previous steps do not result in admission to a
UNC institution, then the student should contact the CFNC Resource Center
at 1-866-866-CFNC.
Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
The Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA) estab-
lishes the transfer of credits from the North Carolina Community College
System (NCCCS) to signatory institutions of the North Carolina Independent
Colleges and Universities (NCICU). The ICAA does not address admission
requirements. Admission requirements are determined by each independent
institution. Guidelines for transfer are outlined in the articulation agreement
between these two entities and are available in the Student Services Division.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
All students are responsible for the proper completion of their academic pro-
gram, for knowledge of regulations and policies as listed in the College catalog
and student handbook, and for maintaining the grade average required for
good standing. Faculty advisors and academic counselors will assist and
advise, but the nal responsibility remains that of the student.
Students are responsible for maintaining communication with the College
by keeping a current local address and telephone number on le with the
Registrar’s Oce at all times.
CATALOG OF RECORD
A student in continuous attendance (summer semester excepted) may gradu-
ate under the provisions of the catalog in eect on his/her date of entry. A
student who is not in continuous attendance must graduate under the provi-
sions of the catalog in eect on his/her last re-entry date.
Students may formally apply through the Student Services Division to change
his/her catalog of record. All requests must be approved by the Director for
Data Management Services/Registrar. Students who are approved for a
change of catalog will be subject to all requirements of their newly designated
catalog of record.
REGISTRATION
Students are required to register for any course prior to the rst class meet
-
ing. No credit can be granted for courses in which the student is not properly
registered. Students may not register for more than one section of the same
course in any given semester. Students cannot attend a class for which they
are not ocially registered. Registration instructions are published prior to
each registration period.
SEMESTER HOURS OF CREDIT (SHC)
The unit of measurement for credit purposes is the semester hour. One (1)
semester hour represents the credit earned in a course that is scheduled for
one (1) class hour per week for a semester of sixteen (16) weeks. However,
for laboratory work, two (2) or more class hours in the laboratory are required
for a single semester hour of credit.
38
COURSE LOAD
A full-time student is dened as any student enrolled in twelve (12) or more
semester hours of credit within a designated regular fall or spring term. Within a
regular summer session, a full-time student is dened as any student enrolled
in nine (9) or more credit hours. No student may carry in excess of 21 credit
hours during a regular term or 13 credit hours during a summer session without
permission of the Vice President for Instruction (or designee) or the Director for
Data Management Services/Registrar. A student may not exceed 30 contact
hours or the number of contact hours required by the program of study (which-
ever is greater) without permission from the Division Chair of that program.
To seek permission to exceed the maximum course loads, a student must have
earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or have a grade point average
of 3.25 on a full-time load from the previous semester.
STUDENT SUCCESS COURSES
Student Success courses (ACA 111 and ACA 122) are designed to introduce
the College’s physical and academic environment to promote the support ser-
vices that are essential for success. These courses also provide information
and strategies necessary to develop clear academic and professional goals
beyond the community college experience. Students who are enrolled in a
program requiring ACA 111 or ACA 122 must take the ACA course within their
rst 12 semester hours of credit. Any exceptions will require approval from
the Vice President for Instruction or his/her designee.
AUDITING COURSES
Students who wish to audit courses must contact the Registrar's Oce and
complete an Audit Request Form. The student must also register for the appro-
priate course(s) prior to the start of the semester and pay through regular
channels. No credit will be received, but students are required to adhere to
the attendance policy. An audit cannot be changed to credit or credit to audit
after the rst full week of classes. Financial aid/veteran's assistance is not
available for audited courses.
Any person who is at least 65 years old may audit courses oered at the
constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina and the community
colleges as dened in Senate Bill 257 Session Law 2017-57 Page 121 G.S.
115D-2(2) without payment of any required registration fee or tuition for the
audit provided the audit is approved in accordance with policies adopted by
the Board of Governors and the State Board of Community Colleges for their
respective institutions, and there is no cost to the State. A person shall be
allowed to audit a class under this section only on a space available basis.
This section does not apply to audits of courses provided on a self-supporting
basis by community colleges.
39
CHANGE OF NAME AND ADDRESS
Students are responsible for notifying the Registrar’s Oce of all name, mail-
ing address, and telephone number changes. This is necessary to keep all
records in proper order. All persons requesting a name change will be required
to submit ocial documentation (driver license, military ID card, social security
card, etc.) of the change.
CHANGE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAM
In order to fulll required checks on student progress for nancial aid and vet-
erans' assistance programs and to check progress toward graduation, student
records are maintained with reference to the particular academic program in
which they are enrolled.
The Admissions Oce is responsible for certifying that the admissions require-
ments for students have been met. Any student who has been provisionally
admitted to a program of study will remain at that status until the admissions
requirements have been met.
Students who wish to change their academic program of study may initiate
the request with an academic counselor. If the change of academic program
is approved, the student must follow the catalog of record that is current for
the term that the change becomes eective.
DEVELOPMENTAL COURSE PLACEMENT
Developmental courses are designed to address academic preparedness,
workforce retraining, development of general and discipline-specic strate-
gies, and barriers to learning. Supplemental courses provide supplemental
skills to a specic co-requisite course or customized developmental course
delivery. Developmental and supplemental courses do not earn credit toward
a certicate, diploma, or degree. Identied developmental and supplemental
courses are designated by numeric course codes under one hundred (100)
and are oered in the areas of Chemistry, English/Reading, Mathematics, and
Study Skills. Criteria are established for appropriate placement in develop-
mental and supplemental courses.
ADDING, DISENROLLING, OR WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES
Adding or Disenrolling from Courses Prior to the First Day
of the Term/Session
A student who nds it necessary to add or disenroll from a course from the
College must complete a drop/add form from the Registrar's Oce. Courses
may be added only during the specied time period designated by the
Registrar's Oce.
40
Withdrawing from a Course on or After the First Day
of the Term/Session
In order to withdraw from a course during the specied time period, students
must obtain the Student Withdrawal Form (located at the Registrar's Oce)
and complete as follows.
1. The student must sign and have the instructor (or if necessary, Division
Chair) of each course sign the completed form.
2.
Return the completed Student Withdrawal Form to the Registrar's Oce
for processing.
Withdrawing COMPLETELY from School on or After the First Day
of the Term/Session
In order to withdraw completely from school, students MUST obtain the
Student Withdrawal Form (located at the Registrar's Oce) and complete the
following steps.
1. Meet with an Academic Advisor/Counselor.
2.
Complete all required information on the Student Withdrawal Form. The
student must have the instructor (or Division Chair) of each course sign
the completed form.
3. Return the completed form to the Registrar’s Oce for nal processing.
4.
Complete and return the Leaver/Withdrawal Follow-Up Survey to the
Registrar's Oce.
The Registrar’s Oce will notify instructors as necessary regarding student
withdrawals.
Grade Reporting For Disenrollments/Withdrawals
For disenrollment of courses after classes begin and up to thirty-six (36) days
prior to the end of the regular semester, the grade of “W” will be reported.
When a student withdraws from school or from a class or is disenrolled
by the instructor due to attendance within the nal thirty-six (36) days of
a regular semester, a grade of "W" will be assigned unless the instructor
determines that the student's performance at the point of withdrawal has
been unsatisfactory. If the instructor's evaluation of the student's status is
unsatisfactory based on the grading system, a grade of "F" may be recorded
on the transcript at the end of the semester. Disenrollment/withdrawal dates
from classes during modied College sessions (other than the regular
College semester) will be adjusted as appropriate. Students may contact
the Registrar's Oce for additional information.
41
TRANSFER OF CREDITS TO COASTAL CAROLINA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE
Educational work completed by students in other accredited institutions may,
where applicable, be credited toward graduation requirements of Coastal
Carolina Community College. In order to be eligible for graduation, the transfer
student is required to enroll and successfully complete all additional academic
program courses for which transfer credit was not received. The maximum
credit transferable from another institution and the total allowed from all
sources combined, including credit by exam at Coastal, is seventy-ve (75)
percent of the degree requirement toward any Associate in Arts, Associate in
Arts in Teacher Preparation, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering,
Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation, Associate in Fine Arts in Theatre,
Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts, or Associate in Fine Arts in Music degree.
For Associate in Applied Science degrees, diplomas, or certicates, the maxi-
mum credit transferable from another institution and the total allowed from all
sources combined, including credit by exam at Coastal, is seventy-ve (75)
percent of the total required hours. Transfer credits are not used in the com-
putation of the student's grade point average.
Evaluation of transfer credits is made when the student’s le is complete and
the student is in an academic program. This evaluation is normally completed
by the end of the rst semester of enrollment following completion of the
student’s le.
The College has signed the Department of Defense Memorandum of
Understanding and, as such, agrees to abide by the Principles and Criteria
set forth, and by the Military Student Bill of Rights. The College grants credit
where applicable for military service schools in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the American Council on Education’s Guide to the Evaluation
of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Credit recommended must
be consistent with the requirements and objectives of an academic program in
order to be granted. Students should be aware that the transferability of these
credits is totally at the discretion of the receiving institution and that Coastal
Carolina Community College makes no guarantee of such transfer.
Transfer credit will normally be allowed only for applicable courses in which a
grade of “C” or higher has been earned. Grades of “D” will be considered for
transfer in sequence courses. (The student should understand that this credit
allowance for a grade of "D" is only for meeting graduation requirements at this
institution and may not be acceptable at a senior college to which the student
may later transfer.) In all cases, the cumulative grade point average of all
courses accepted in transfer must be at least 2.0 (“C” equivalent). No grade
on applicable science courses of less than "C" will be accepted in transfer
toward credit within any allied health programs.
To promote personal development essential for academic success, most
programs of study at Coastal Carolina Community College require ACA 111
42
College Student Success or ACA 122 College Transfer Success. Curriculum
students should enroll in an ACA course based on the specic requirements
of their designated program of study. Students who have previously earned
an associate's degree with a 3.25 GPA or higher from an accredited institu-
tion may substitute elective credit for ACA 111. Students who have previously
earned a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution may substitute elec-
tive credit for ACA 111 or ACA 122.
As part of the evaluation process, the College may only award credit from an
ocial transcript which outlines nal grades for all completed coursework. Any
transcript that acknowledges in progress coursework may not be evaluated or
credited toward a student's graduation requirements.
CREDIT FOR ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP), INTERNATIONAL
BACCALAURETE (IB), COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM
(CLEP), CAMBRIDGE ASSESSMENT INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION,
AND DEFENCE ACTIVITY FOR NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATION
SUPPORT (DANTES)
The College grants credit for the Advanced Placement (AP) Tests conducted
by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students desiring credit must
have their scores submitted to the Registrar’s Oce for evaluation.
The College grants credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) curricula credit
completed through an authorized International Baccalaureate Organization
(IBO) diploma program. Students desiring credit must have their IB transcript(s)
submitted to the Registrar's Oce for evaluation.
The College grants credit for the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
and DANTES General and Subject Examinations. Credit must be applicable
to the student's current degree or diploma requirements. Students desiring
credit must have CLEP and/or DANTES scores submitted to the Registrar’s
Oce for evaluation.
The College grants credit for Cambridge Assessment International Education
tests. Students desiring credit must have their scores submitted to the
Registrar’s Oce for evaluation.
NOTE: No greater than seventy-ve percent (75%) of the credit hours required
for graduation from a curriculum program may be earned through Credit for
Prior Learning. Additional information may be obtained from the Director for
Data Management Services/Registrar.
CREDIT FOR CORRESPONDENCE WORK
Ten (10) semester hours of credit for correspondence courses applicable to
courses oered at Coastal Carolina Community College may be accepted as
transfer toward the associate degrees. Such courses must have been taken
within the correspondence program of an accredited institution.
43
CREDIT FOR LIFE EXPERIENCE
Academic credit is not allowed for previous life experience outside of the
supervision of the College; however, a student may challenge certain courses
by examination.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
For those classes for which credit by examination is appropriate, Coastal
Carolina Community College will grant credit to any student who successfully
completes a challenge exam in lieu of regular class participation.
The student seeking to receive credit by examination must secure a
Credit by Examination form (located at the Registrar's Oce), schedule an
appointment with a full-time faculty member in the department concerned,
and explain the reasons and/or justication for the request. Since some
exams may take considerable time to coordinate and prepare, the student
is advised to initiate the process well before the semester in which he/
she intends to receive credit. All examinations must be completed no later than
the last day of the registration period prior to drop/add. If the faculty member
and the Division Chair approve the request for credit by exam, the student will
schedule the examination with the Division Chair. The student must register
and pay any required tuition charges prior to attempting the exam. The faculty
member(s) administering the examination will report the results to the Director
for Data Management Services/Registrar, the Division Chair, and the student.
If a student is unsuccessful in an attempt to challenge a course, he/she must
take and successfully complete the course as previously registered in order
to receive credit. One challenge attempt per course is allowed, and all chal-
lenged courses, regardless of outcome, will not adhere to the College's refund
policy.
Standardized tests will be used when available and appropriate. If standard-
ized tests are not available, local tests, prepared by faculty within the discipline,
will be used. National norms, usually available for standardized tests, will be
considered in determining whether or not the student has performed satisfac-
torily on the test. On local tests, a grade of 70% or higher will be required for
passing the test. For courses which require specialized and/or manual skills,
examinations will include demonstrations of those skills.
Credits earned by examination are considered in the same way as transfer
credits and are not used in the computation of the student’s grade point aver-
age. Students should be aware that many colleges will not accept transfer
credits earned through credit by examination. Financial aid/veteran's assis-
tance is not available for credit by examination courses. Credit by examination
is not available for all courses, i.e., some courses cannot be challenged. (See
COURSES THAT CANNOT BE CHALLENGED.)
44
INDEPENDENT STUDY
Any student requesting to take a course by independent study must complete
the Request for Independent Study form and have it approved prior to the rst
day of registration.
The student will be permitted to enroll for a course by independent study when
the following conditions are met.
1.
The course in question will not be oered before the student’s scheduled
graduation date.
2. The course is not oered or is in schedule conict with another required
course and is needed for the student to qualify for graduation or transfer.
3. The student has a cumulative grade point average of not less than 3.0.
4.
The student selects a full-time faculty member who, with the approval
of the Division Chair, agrees to serve as the instructor for the semester
of independent study.
5. The student has completed 15 (fteen) semester hours of study in his/
her academic program at Coastal Carolina Community College.
6.
The course instructor and Division Chair have recommended that the
student be allowed to register for the course by independent study.
The regulations that apply to independent study are as follows.
1. The student will meet with the instructor at least one hour per week.
2.
Arrangements must be made with the instructor for any laboratory expe-
rience required for the course.
3. Work schedules do not constitute justication for taking a class by inde-
pendent study.
4. No faculty will be allowed to supervise more than one student enrolled
by independent study during a given semester.
5.
No student will be allowed to accumulate credit for more than two
courses taken by independent study.
Any deviation from this procedure or regulations will be justied by special
circumstances judged by the Vice President for Instruction to be in the best
interest of a given student.
45
CURRICULUM COURSE REPEAT POLICY
A course may be completed successfully a total of three (3) times, including all
audits. Approval is required from the appropriate Division Chair for any student
wishing to repeat a course beyond established limits. Each attempt will be
recorded. With the exception of audits, the highest completion will be counted
for credit in computing the grade point average. All grades will be reected on
the transcript. No course may be counted more than once toward graduation.
Certain nancial aid sources are not available to support courses previously
passed.
Students planning to transfer should note that the receiving institution may not
honor the GPA alteration but may include all course attempts when computing
the grade point average for admissions requirements.
ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS RULE
Students may request in writing to the Student Services Division to apply
the Academic Forgiveness Rule. Any request for academic forgiveness will
be reviewed by the Director for Data Management Services/Registrar and
approved by the Vice President for Instruction.
Requests for academic forgiveness must specify: (1) student enrollment dates;
and (2) specic purpose to be accomplished through the exemption of identi-
ed course(s) and grade(s).
Academic forgiveness will be granted only one time. The forgiveness feature
of this rule may aect the student's grade point average at Coastal Carolina
Community College only. If a student is approved under the provisions of
the Academic Forgiveness Rule, only those courses for which the student
received a grade of "C" or higher will be used for academic credit.
Note: When a student transfers from one college to another, the receiv-
ing institution usually considers all work attempted at all previous
colleges and requires an overall "C" average for admission. The forgive-
ness feature of this rule may aect the student's grade point average
at Coastal Carolina Community College only. It is therefore extremely
important that potential transfer students clearly understand and give
careful consideration when using this policy. They should seek guid-
ance from their receiving institutions as well as from Coastal Carolina
Community College.
46
TWO-YEAR RULE
Any student with a GPA of below 2.0 who has not attended Coastal Carolina
Community College for two or more years and who is accepted for readmis-
sion may le a Two-Year Rule Request form with the Student Services Division
for re-entry under the provisions of the two-year rule.
If a student is readmitted under the provisions of the two-year rule, only those
courses for which the student received a grade of “C” or better will be used
for academic credit. The student’s grade point average will be based only on
work attempted after readmission.
If re-entry under the two-year rule is not approved, the student’s GPA and
grades will continue as if no break had occurred.
A student may have this two-year rule applied only once. A student choosing
to have the rule applied or not applied may not later reverse the option.
Students wishing to use this rule should contact an Academic Counselor to
complete the proper form and obtain procedural information. The student must
submit the form to the Director for Data Management Services/Registrar for
approval and processing. The student wishing to use this rule should initiate
action before the end of the rst semester of enrollment after eligibility.
NOTE: When a student transfers from one college to another, the receiv-
ing institution usually considers all work attempted at all previous
colleges and requires an overall “C” average for admission. The for-
giveness feature of this rule may aect the student’s grade point average
at Coastal Carolina Community College only. It is therefore extremely
important that potential transfer students clearly understand and give
careful consideration when using this policy. They should seek guid-
ance from their receiving institution as well as from Coastal Carolina
Community College.
ATTENDANCE
Coastal Carolina Community College is committed to the principle that class
attendance is an essential part of its educational program. Class lectures,
demonstrations, discussions, and other in-class experiences are regarded
as vital ingredients of the educational process that cannot be easily compen-
sated for through out-of-class make-up work. Coastal's attendance policy is
designed to balance the educational benets of regular class attendance with
the demands of everyday life. In order to be ocially enrolled, a student must
attend the course no later than the census date. To allow for absences related
to religious observances, illness, emergencies, and other circumstances, stu-
dents may miss up to 12.5% of class hours before being mandatorily withdrawn
by instructors.
47
Class Contact Hours Allowable Absence Hours
2 4
3 6
4 8
5 10
NOTE: Student absences from class will be counted beginning with
the rst class meeting after the student has registered for the class.
Laboratory hours and class hours are not interchangeable in the applica-
tion of the attendance guidelines. For students taking courses that are
corequisites, an attendance violation in one of the courses will result in
the student being disenrolled from both courses.
If the college opens late, campus activities will resume at the designated time.
Students and employees should report to the location where they would nor-
mally be at that specic time, even if the class or lab has an earlier starting
time. All instructional time missed will be made up.
Coastal's online courses are equivalent to their seated courses in both
academic rigor and student requirements. Online students are required
to regularly attend their online courses and complete assignments. Because
online courses require a student to be in continuous contact with the instruc-
tor, Coastal's online course instructors will administratively drop students
who miss more than the equivalent of 12.5% of class hours. Instructors
will identify in their syllabi what the equivalent of 12.5% of class hours is
for each course. Students who do not adhere to the specic attendance
guidelines established by their instructor will be withdrawn from the course.
Students should carefully review the attendance policy as stated in the
course syllabus.
Students should be further advised that some programs may have more strin-
gent attendance requirements due to the nature of the specic programs and
various regulations established by state and federal licensing agencies. Such
additional attendance requirements are to be stated in the respective program
descriptions or course syllabi and are to be maintained on le in the oce of
the appropriate Division Chair.
Students who request accommodations due to documented special needs
are advised that disability-related absences do not in any way alter class
requirements, faculty expectations, or student responsibilities. The College's
designated Coordinator for Disability Support Services does not have a role
in determining course attendance policies or in modifying course attendance
requirements. College faculty members determine all grading procedures
regarding make-up of missed assignments, quizzes, and exams. A College
faculty member is not required to lower essential course requirements for
accommodation purposes.
48
It is the responsibility of each student to understand and to abide by
the attendance requirements, as well as any additional guidelines developed
by faculty members concerning such things as advance notice of absences
and make-up work requirements. Students should be mindful that they remain
accountable for any information or assignments missed because of class
absence.
Right of a Hearing Related to Instructor Administrative Withdraw
Due to Excessive Absences
When a student has been disenrolled from a course due to excessive
absences, he/she may request reinstatement by the instructor.
a)
An instructor may allow reinstatement. If a student is reinstated by
the instructor, continued enrollment would be under conditions set by
the instructor by way of a reinstatement agreement between the stu-
dent and the instructor. If the student violates any of the conditions of
reinstatement, the student may be dropped from the class roll. The
student may request another reinstatement, and if that request is
denied by the instructor, the student may request consultation with the
Director, Admissions and Counseling Services. After consultation with
the Director, Admissions and Counseling Services, the student may
appeal the decision of the instructor to not reinstate him/her by submit-
ting a written request for a hearing to the chair of the Student Welfare
Committee within one (1) week of the instructor's denial of reinstate-
ment. The written request for appeal must identify the condition(s) of
reinstatement that the instructor alleges he/she violated and, if appli-
cable, any "extenuating circumstances" that caused said violation(s).
Upon receipt of the student's written request for a hearing, the chair of
the Student Welfare Committee will instruct the Appeals Sub-Committee
to convene for a timely hearing. Both the instructor and the student must
be present at the hearing. The instructor must state the conditions of the
reinstatement agreement and provide testimony regarding the alleged
violation(s). The student must provide documentary evidence that he/
she did not violate the particular condition(s) of the reinstatement agree-
ment, or, if applicable, documentary evidence showing any "extenuating
circumstances" that caused him/her to violate said agreement.
After hearing from both the instructor and the student, the Appeals Sub-
Committee will render a decision on the student's reinstatement request.
All decisions of the Appeals Sub-Committee will be nal. If the student
chooses not to attend the hearing, the decision of the instructor not to
reinstate will stand and be nal. The student has the right to attend class
during the appellate process. If the student chooses not to attend class,
it may aect the nal appellate decision.
49
b)
An instructor may deny reinstatement. If reinstatement is denied by
the instructor, the student may request consultation with the Director,
Admissions and Counseling Services. After consultation with the
Director, Admissions and Counseling Services, the student may appeal
the instructor's decision not to reinstate him/her by submitting a written
request for a hearing to the chair of the Student Welfare Committee
within one (1) week of the instructor's denial of reinstatement. If appli-
cable, the written request for appeal must entail any "extenuating
circumstances" that the student believes caused his/her excessive
absences. Upon receipt of the student's written request for a hearing,
the chair of the Student Welfare Committee will instruct the Appeals
Sub-Committee to convene for a timely hearing. Both the instructor and
the student must be present at the hearing. At the hearing, the instruc-
tor must provide attendance records to show that the student had an
excessive number of absences that violated the attendance policy as
announced by the instructor. The student must provide documentary
evidence that he/she did not have excessive absences as claimed
by the instructor or, if applicable, documentary evidence showing any
"extenuating circumstances" that caused the student to violate the
attendance policy. After hearing from the instructor and the student, the
Appeals Sub-Committee will render a decision on the student's appeal
for reinstatement. All decisions of the Appeals Sub-Committee will be
nal. If the student chooses not to attend the hearing, the decision of
the instructor not to reinstate will stand and be nal. The student has the
right to attend class during the appellate process. If the student chooses
not to attend class, it may aect the nal appellate decision.

GRADING SYSTEM
Ocial grades are issued for each student at the end of each semester.
Students enrolled in academic programs will be graded by the following letter
grade system.
Numerical Grade Grade Points Per Semester
Hours
A (Excellent) 93 – 100 4.00
A- 90 – 92 3.67
B+ 87 – 89 3.33
B (Good) 83 – 86 3.00
B- 80 – 82 2.67
C+ 77 – 79 2.33
C (Average) 73 – 76 2.00
C- 70 – 72 1.67
D+ 67 – 69 1.33
D (Below Average) 63 – 66 1.00
D- 60 – 62 0.67
F (Unsatisfactory) Below 60 0
NOTE: Grades are rounded to the nearest whole number. Course credit may
not be transferable to another institution when a grade of 72 "C-" or lower is
earned.
The following grade/status abbreviations will not be used in computing the
grade point average:
AU–AUDIT
CE–CREDIT BY EXAMINATION This is awarded for successful completion of
institutional examination and carries credit earned but is not gured in grade
point average. (Course credit may not be transferable to another institution.)
I–INCOMPLETE This indicates failure to complete certain course require-
ments because of extenuating circumstances. The student is responsible for
arranging with the instructor the terms of the incomplete and for seeing that
the incomplete is removed prior to the end of the succeeding term, or the
grade becomes an “F.” In rare and unusual circumstances, as determined and
approved by the Vice President, a student may be approved to arrange with
an instructor the terms of an incomplete and for seeing that the incomplete is
removed prior to the end of two academic terms, or the grade becomes an “F."
IP–IN PROGRESS This status grade indicates current enrollment and prog-
ress toward course completion.
51
NA-NEVER ATTEND This statusgrade indicates that the student enrolled in
the course but did not attend.
P–PASS This grade may be given in developmental courses when progress
(80% mastery or higher) has been made toward required objectives.
R–RE-ENROLL This grade may be given in developmental courses when
progress has been made but required objectives have not been met (below
80% mastery). A student who has earned an “R” will not be allowed to enroll
in subsequent courses until he/she re-enrolls and earns a “P” in the specic
course. Financial aid recipients who receive an “R” grade for a specic course
may be eligible to have federal Pell funds reappropriated for the repeat for a
specic course.
W–WITHDRAWAL This is a grade assigned when appropriate documenta-
tion is submitted by the instructor, student or College ocial by the published
deadline, terminating enrollment. An instructor or College ocial may assign
a “W” after the published deadline.
WA–WITHDRAWAL FOR AUDITS This is the grade reported for an audit stu-
dent who ceases attendance without ocially notifying the school or initiates
a student withdrawal. This grade carries no credit and no penalty.
PRESIDENT'S LIST
At the close of each semester, academic program students carrying a full-time
course load (courses leading to an associate degree, diploma, or certicate)
will be included on the President’s List provided they have no grades of “I” and/
or no grade lower than an “A" for that semester.
DEAN'S LIST
At the close of each semester, academic program students carrying a full-time
course load (courses leading to an associate degree, diploma, or certicate)
will be included on the Dean’s List provided they have no grades of “I” and/
or no grade lower than a “B” and provided that the grade point average of all
their grades for that semester is 3.0 or better.
STANDARDS OF PROGRESS
Records of progress (grade reports) are kept by this institution on all students.
Grade reports are furnished electronically to the students at the end of each
term.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)
At the end of each academic term, a student's semester and cumulative grade
point average (GPA) is calculated. Each student is expected to make satisfac-
tory progress, dened as a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0, based on credit
hours attempted. Students with the minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 are con-
sidered to be in good standing.
52
Credit hours for developmental courses are not counted in credit hours
attempted; thus, grades from developmental classes are not counted toward
cumulative GPA. Courses with a grade of AU (audit), CE (credit by examina-
tion), I (incomplete), IP (in progress), P (pass), R (re-enroll), W (withdrawal)
and WA (withdrawal for audit) are not considered in credit hours attempted
and not counted toward cumulative GPA. For information about federal
regulations pertaining to Financial Aid Sastisfactory Academic Progress
requirements, see the section "Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress
(SAP) requirements".
ACADEMIC WARNING
If the cumulative grade point average of a student is below the satisfac-
tory academic standing of 2.0 (at the end of his or her initial semester when
nal grades are submitted) the student will be placed on Academic Warning.
Students on academic warning will: (1) receive notication from Student
Services, (2) meet with an academic counselor to develop a student success
plan, and (3) secure information and training designed to enhance student
success. Students on academic warning may continue their studies under the
guidance of an academic counselor.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Any student whose cumulative grade point average falls below the satisfac-
tory academic standing of 2.0 (at the end of the term of enrollment) will be
placed on academic probation prior to the next term of attendance. Students
on academic probation will be notied by Student Services and may continue
their studies under the guidance of an academic counselor.
Prior to the rst day of attendance, schedules of students on academic proba-
tion will be reviewed by an academic counselor/advisor who may:
1. Limit their enrollment to nine (9) credit hours or less for the semester;
2.
Prescribe specic developmental, supplemental, or other required
courses for enrollment; and
3. Specify the mechanism by which courses are delivered.
Identied students must report to an academic counselor as often as is
required throughout the semester.
Students may remain on academic probation for no more than two terms of
enrollment before being classied as making unsatisfactory academic prog-
ress. Students who are identied as making unsatisfactory academic progress
will be notied by Student Services.
53
UNSATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Students who are identied as making unsatisfactory academic progress
may continue to attend the institution under the guidance of the Director for
Admissions and Counseling Services (or designee). Prior to the rst day of
attendance, each identied student will have their schedule reviewed by the
Director for Admissions and Counseling Services (or designee), and enroll-
ment may be limited to a maximum of seven (7) credit hours until such time
as the student's GPA is brought back to satisfactory academic progress. The
Director for Admissions and Counseling Services (or designee) may also pre-
scribe specic developmental or required courses for enrollment and specify
the mechanism by which the course is delivered.
NOTE: Financial aid and/or veteran's educational benets will be terminated
by the College for any student identied under the status of unsatisfactory aca-
demic progress. Students under this academic status must regain a satisfactory
academic standing of 2.0 for reinstatement of aid or educational benets.

All grade appeals must be initiated no later than the rst calendar day of the
next regularly scheduled semester.
The following procedure is to be utilized.

ate Vice President.
PRIVACY OF EDUCATIONAL RECORDS
Educational records include academic scores, transcripts, medical records,
nancial accounts, nancial aid information and disciplinary records. Access
to student educational records is regulated by the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974. This act provides for the privacy of an individual's
educational record and establishes the right of students to inspect and review
their records.
54
Coastal Carolina Community College supports the rights and privacy aorded
each student by the act and is in compliance with its provisions.
Within Coastal Carolina Community College, only those persons, individually
or collectively, acting in the student's educational interest are allowed access
to student educational records. Included are personnel in the Student Services
Division, senior level administrators, the Accounting Oce, the Oce of Public
Information/College Foundation, instructors, advisors, and other academic
personnel within the limitations of their need to know.
At its discretion, the College may provide directory information in accor-
dance with the provisions of the act to include the following: student's name,
address, e-mail address, telephone numbers, major eld of study, dates of
attendance, full-time/part-time attendance, degrees, and awards received.
The College will provide directory information listings to military recruitment
oces (as designated by the Solomon Amendment), to other third parties for
the sole purpose of educational benets to the students, and for verication
to employment agencies. No other persons shall have access to, nor will
the College disclose, information from a student's record without the written
consent of the student.
A student has the right to withhold disclosure of directory information by com-
pleting a Request for Nondisclosure in the Registrar's Oce. Requests for
Nondisclosure must be led annually. The College assumes that failure on
the part of any student to le a Request for Nondisclosure indicates approval
for disclosure.
Student records, including admissions papers, registrations, grades and other
supporting data are maintained in the Registrar's Oce. Any student wishing
to challenge the content of his/her educational records must notify the Director
for Data Management Services/Registrar in writing.
VERIFICATION OF ENROLLMENT
Students may request verication of their enrollment at the College through
the Registrar's Oce. Student enrollment verication is made available
to nancial aid lenders through the National Student Loan Clearinghouse
(NSLC). A student may prevent disclosure of enrollment information by noti-
fying the Registrar's Oce in writing. Requests for nondisclosure must be
led annually.
TRANSCRIPTS
Student transcripts are available under the provisions of the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-380). Under this act, written consent
from the student is required before the student records can be released to
anyone. Students may obtain copies of their transcript(s) from the College at
no charge.
55
Any request for ve or more transcripts may require extra time to process.
Transcripts are withheld until all of the student's nancial obligations to the
College are completed. Contact the Registrar's Oce for additional information.

ments of another associate degree, diploma, or certicate program at Coastal
Carolina Community College, may request the awarding of the additional
degree, diploma, or certicate. The student does not have to le an academic
program change request.
The student must le an application for graduation for each degree, diploma, or
certicate requested and pay the required fee(s) for each degree, diploma, or

DISCIPLINE - POLICIES ON STUDENT RIGHTS AND DISCIPLINE
Section 1 - Policy Statement
Coastal Carolina Community College adopts this policy on student discipline
in recognition of the need to preserve the orderly processes of the College,
as well as to observe the students’ procedural and substantive rights. As used
herein, “student” means any person who is registered for a course, program,

Section 2 - Rights of Students
Students are entitled to an atmosphere conducive to learning and to impar-
tial treatment in all aspects of the teacher-student relationship. The student

56
performance professionally judged and not on matters irrelevant to that per-
formance, such as the personality, race, religion, degree of political activism,

or views oered in any course of study, but they are responsible for learning
the content of the course of study, as dened by ocial publications.
College students are both citizens and members of the academic community.

That environment is damaged by the use of alcohol and other drugs. Therefore,
all members of the academic community - students, faculty members, admin-
istrators, and other employees - share the responsibility for protecting and
maintaining that environment.
Accordingly, every student of Coastal Carolina Community College is respon-
sible for being familiar with and complying with the terms of this policy, which
has been adopted by the Board of Trustees. This policy is applicable to all
other places and events controlled or sanctioned by the institution.
It is the policy of this College that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dis-
pensation, possession or use, or being under the inuence of an illegal drug or
alcohol on the College's property or as a part of any of its activities is prohib-
ited. Coastal Carolina Community College's policy and programs are intended
to accomplish the following.
1. Prevent substance abuse through a strong educational eort;
2.
Inform members of the academic community about counseling services
and rehabilitation programs such as substance abuse counseling, treat-
ment, or rehabilitation programs which are available to them;
3. Provide a description of applicable legal sanctions under local, state, or
federal law;
4. Provide information concerning health risks associated with the use of
illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol.
Education
Coastal Carolina Community College is committed to the education and devel-
opment of students, faculty, and sta regarding alcohol and other drug use by
establishing and maintaining a drug-free and alcohol-free awareness program.

The program will include information about the incompatibility of alcohol abuse
and the use of illegal drugs with the goals of Coastal Carolina Community
College, the health risks associated with illegal drug use, and the potential
legal consequences of involvement with alcohol and other drugs.

concerning illegal drugs or alcohol, he/she may be suspended from enrollment
before initiation or completion of regular disciplinary proceedings if, assum-
ing the truth of the charges, the Division Chair for Student Services (or in
his/her absence, the President’s designee) concludes that the person’s con-
tinued presence within the College community would constitute a clear and
immediate danger to the health or welfare of other members of the College
community. If such a suspension is imposed, an appropriate hearing of the
charges against the suspended person shall be held in accordance with dis-
cipline procedures as outlined herein.
It is the responsibility of all students to be informed of and abide by the provi-
sions of this policy.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE POLICY
The College recognizes the serious implications that the spread of communi-
cable disease, as dened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), has on the health, safety, and welfare of the students, faculty, sta,
and general public. Therefore, the College is committed to ensuring that
each employee and student be provided with a safe and healthy working/
learning environment. This communicable disease policy is based on scien-
tic, medical, and legal information currently available. It is also consistent
with guidelines issued by the CDC, OSHA standards, other national/state
65
health-related organizations’ recommendations, and is compatible with the
policies of all clinical aliates. Since scientic information is prone to frequent
change, the College will review this policy annually, or as necessary, as new
information on infectious diseases becomes available.
Any student who knows, or has a reasonable basis for believing, that he or
she is infected with a communicable disease (e.g. pandemic inuenza) or
other serious public health threat has an obligation to report that information
to Student Services. Any employee who knows, or has a reasonable basis
for believing, that he or she is infected with a communicable disease (e.g.
pandemic inuenza) or other serious public health threat has an obligation
to report that information to the Oce of Personnel Services and Workplace
Safety. A serious public health threat is one that has been declared by the
State Public Health Director or the Governor.
In the event of a reported occurrence of a communicable disease on campus,
the College will seek guidance and direction from the appropriate public health
authorities.
Persons who are seropositive for HIV/HBV/HCV or other infectious diseases
will not be excluded from admission or employment, or restricted in their
access to the institution's services or facilities because of their health status.
They will be provided with all reasonable accommodations unless an individu-
alized, medically-based evaluation determines that exclusion or restriction is
necessary for the welfare of the individual or other members of the institution,
patients, or its aliates (patient care community).
Any student or employee who knows, or has reasonable basis for believ-
ing that he or she is infected with HIV/HBV/HCV, or other infectious disease
which may pose a threat to others, and whose curriculum or job requires
performance of patient care procedures which may be exposure prone, has
an obligation to share that information with the College.
If a student, employee, or patient is accidentally exposed to blood or body
uids, the person will immediately report the incident to the appropriate super-
visor as well as the Security Services Department.
All faculty, employees, and students in health-related elds are required
to adhere to standard disease control guidelines consistent with the U. S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. No student will be allowed to
deliver patient care in any setting until he/she has been instructed in infection
control (as per OSHA guidelines) and mastered material on safety/standard
precautions with satisfactory accuracy.
A copy of the College's Communicable Disease Policy is available from the
Oce of Personnel Services and Workplace Safety.
66

In an eort to maintain the professional appearance of classrooms and labs,
eating and drinking are discouraged in instructional areas. In the event that
food or drink is consumed in the classrooms or labs, it is expected that the
space be appropriately maintained.
USE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS
As a provider of higher education and job training, Coastal Carolina Community
College promotes the health and safety of all students, faculty, sta, and visi-
tors. Numerous eorts have been made toward the creation of an atmosphere
which is most conducive to teaching and learning, minimizing health and
safety risks to the extent possible. Consequently, upon the recommendation
of the Faculty Assembly, the campus is tobacco-free.
Upon the recommendation of the Student Government Association, the use
of electronic nicotine delivery systems is prohibited in all campus buildings,

Service Animals
Animals are generally prohibited on College grounds; however, service ani-
mals are welcome to accompany their handlers under the following provisions
as well as applicable laws:
• Students with disabilities are permitted to bring service animals onto
College property in accordance with Title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and as provided in this policy.
• Visitors with disabilities are permitted to bring service animals onto
College property in accordance with Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act and as provided in this policy.
Service animal handlers must ensure the animal is in good health, is current
on required immunizations, and is licensed in accordance with all applicable
government regulations. The burden of proof of licensure and immunizations
remains with the person with a disability.
The service animal must be under the full control of the handler at all times
and cannot disrupt the educational process. The service animal must be har-
nessed, leashed, or tethered unless these devices interfere with the service
animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents them from using these
devices. The College has the authority to remove a service animal if the han-
dler does not take eective action to control the animal or if it becomes unruly,
disruptive, unclean and/or unhealthy, or poses a direct threat to the health and
safety of members of the learning community. The person with a disability is
also responsible for the disposal of any waste left by the service animal, in
addition to the costs of repair to any damage to College property caused by
the service animal. When there is a legitimate reason to ask that a service
animal be removed, sta must oer the person with the disability the opportu-
nity to obtain goods or services without the animal present.
For purposes of this policy, service animals are welcome in all classrooms,
labs, and other educational and social spaces where a student would go in
the course of enrollment in the College; however, the College may prohibit the
presence of animals in certain locations where health or safety restrictions
prevent their presence, where animals may be in danger, or where the pres-
ence of animals may cause health issues.
Students and visitors who wish to bring service animals to campus are strongly
encouraged to voluntarily make their presence known to the Coordinator for
Disability Support Services. Likewise, if another person on campus has a
covered disability under the American with Disabilities Act and it includes an
allergic reaction to animals, a request for accommodation should be made
to the Coordinator for Disability Support Services. All facts surrounding the
concern will be considered in an eort to resolve the concern and provide
reasonable accommodations for all individuals.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The College provides a number of nancial assistance programs, ensuring
educational opportunities for individual students to meet the rising cost of
obtaining an education. Grants, scholarships, and employment opportunities
are included in such programs.
One of the most common forms of nancial assistance is the Federal Pell
grant. To be considered for Pell grant funds, students are encouraged to apply
early by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
each year at www.fafsa.gov. As part of the initial application process, each stu-
dent will receive a personalized Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID). The FSA ID
will allow a student to complete the FAFSA with the United States Department
of Education (DOE) to determine the student's nancial need/eligibility.
The student’s nancial need is the dierence between the cost of educa-
tion designated by the school and the amount the student or the student's
family can contribute toward the cost of the student's education, known as
the expected family contribution (EFC), which is determined by a standard
formula from the DOE.
74
The Financial Aid Oce will evaluate and verify the information provided on the
FAFSA. Students will be notied if documentation is required for verication
by the College or DOE.
The Financial Aid Oce is located in the Admissions Oce within the Student
Center Building. Assistance for completing the FAFSA is available through
the Financial Aid Oce. The Federal School Code for Coastal Carolina
Community College is 005316.
Applications for state, institutional, and private programs vary. Contact the Financial
Aid Oce (Student Center Building), the College Foundation Oce (James L.
Henderson, Jr. Administration Building), or the Human Services Oce (Kenneth B.
Hurst Continuing Education Building) for specic information. Additional informa-
tion may also be obtained at Coastal's website, www.coastalcarolina.edu.
FINANCIAL AID AWARD NOTIFICATION
The Financial Aid Oce will provide a Financial Aid Award Oer Package to
each eligible recipient. The package will provide detailed information about
the award amounts, provide a Financial Aid Award Oer that must be returned,
and will also provide specic date/timeline requirements and cost of living
information.
Clock Hour Programs
U.S. Department of Education regulations require the College to utilize a
Clock-Hour Conversion (CHC) formula for awarding federal nancial aid to
eligible students enrolled in identied one-year diploma or certicate programs.
During each term, a student’s enrollment status will be calculated based on
the clock-hour conversion of eligible credits available to the student. These
calculations may result in a reduction of Pell funds awarded to the student for
the term. For more information regarding the clock-hour-conversion require-
ments, students may seek assistance through the College’s Financial Aid
Oce or access the Financial Aid link at the College’s website (www.coast-
alcarolina.edu).
Changes in Enrollment Status
The Financial Aid Oce will reevaluate and recalculate the federal aid for
students who change their enrollment status prior to the established nan-
cial aid census date. Financial aid will be recalculated based on the current
enrollment status of a student at the time that the award is disbursed. A
recalculation may result in: (1) a refund to the student; or (2) an outstanding
balance owed by the student to the College.
Consortium Agreement
A Consortium Agreement is a contract between two colleges/universities that
recognizes the student’s registration at each location for nancial aid pur-
poses. It also certies only one of the two institutions can administer Title IV
and State nancial aid.
75
Within the Consortium Agreement, one of the two colleges/universities is
dened as the Home Institution and the other college/university is referred to
as the Host Institution. The Home Institution is the school where the student
is fully matriculated and from which he/she will earn a degree. The Host
Institution is where the student temporarily takes courses, whose credits will
be transferred back to his/her Home Institution.
The number of credits earned under an approved consortium agreement
is integrated into the student’s record upon completion of the course. The
Consortium Agreement is also subject to approval by both the home and host
institutions’ authorized nancial aid sta.
Course Repeats
Federal nancial aid guidelines for repeating a course are as follows:
1. A student can be eligible to receive nancial aid to retake a previously
passed course (only once) as long as the student is again receiving
credit for the same course.
2. A student who previously passed a course with a grade of "D" or higher,
and then subsequently failed the same course, is not eligible to receive
nancial aid for any additional attempts to repeat that same course.
3.
There is no federal regulatory limit on the number of times a student may
repeat a course failed and be eligible to receive nancial aid as long as
the student maintains Satisfactory Academic Progress. Please review
the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirement.
Disbursement of Aid
Disbursement of excess nancial aid after tuition, fees, bookstore charges,
and verication of class attendance will be processed on the date listed in
the Information for Pell Students Handout distributed upon registering for
class(es). This information is updated on the College’s website.
Financial Aid Shopping Sheet
In accordance with Federal Executive Order 13607, the College provides a
Financial Aid Shopping Sheet to notify students about their educational costs
and the amount of nancial aid being awarded by the institution to help meet
identied expenses.
Lifetime Eligibility
Eective with the 2012 – 2013 award year, the U.S. Department of Education
established Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) guidelines which
reduced the duration of a student’s eligibility to receive Federal Pell funding
to the equivalent of six years (a combined total of 12 full-time semesters) or
the maximum lifetime amount of 600 percent (600%) of attendance. Lifetime
Eligibility Used calculations compiled by the U.S. Department of Education are
76
available for all students and reect current and previous amounts of Pell used.
Students may seek assistance through the College’s Financial Aid Oce or log
onto the federal government’s National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
at www.nslds.ed.gov to determine the remaining percentage of Pell eligibility.
Tuition, Textbooks, and Course-Related Supplies
Pell Grant funds may be used for tuition, fees, textbooks, and documented
course-related supplies. Eligible students may charge these allowable items
to their student accounts based on the amount of their award. If the amount
of nancial aid received is less than the charges, the student is required to pay
the remaining balance at the time of registration or upon purchasing books
and supplies in the College Store. A valid Coastal student ID is required for
purchase of allowable items within the College Store.
TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID ASSISTANCE
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant is a federal program for undergraduate students and is based
on nancial need. A student must submit a new Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) application prior to each academic year. The FAFSA will
provide specic information regarding dates (month, day, and year) for federal
and state nancial aid.
A maximum of thirty (30) attempted hours of required developmental courses
may be funded. Financial aid is awarded on an annual basis for two semesters:
fall, spring, and/or summer semesters. Students will be notied of the avail-
ability of summer funding. Financial aid is not available for audited courses,
credit by examination courses, or courses not in the student's designated
curriculum, except required developmental courses not to exceed thirty (30)
credit hours.
Federal guidelines require the Financial Aid Oce to reevaluate the enroll-

STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY: FINANCIAL AID
Students wishing to apply and remain eligible for nancial aid are respon-

diploma, or certicate program of study. Students are also responsible to
remain in good nancial standing with the College (not owe a balance) and
must not be in default of a student loan from any educational institution.
Students receiving nancial aid are responsible for contacting the Financial
Aid Oce prior to dropping or withdrawing from any classes. Any change in a
student’s enrollment status could generate a tuition refund or a requirement
to repay nancial aid.
Students are responsible for notifying the College in writing regarding changes
of name, address, email/or telephone numbers. Failure to maintain an up-to-
date address could result in the student not receiving refunds and/or important
letters/notications from the College. Students are also responsible for noti-
fying the Financial Aid Oce of any academic program or enrollment status
change.
78
FINANCIAL AID WITHDRAWAL POLICY
When a student is a recipient of Title IV federal funds and/or state-funded pro-
grams and completely withdraws, ceases to attend class(es) or is dismissed
from the College prior to the 60 percent point of an academic period it is pos-
sible that some funds will have to be repaid to the Department of Education
(DOE) or the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA)
after the 35% point of an academic period. This is determined by the number
of days in the semester, plus the number of days of class attendance. If the
amount disbursed to the student is more than the amount earned as calcu-
lated by federal and/or state regulations, unearned funds must be returned.
Any students owing money after 45 days will be referred by the College to
both the U. S. Department of Education and the N. C. Department of Revenue
for collections.
FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)
REQUIREMENTS
Federal regulations require that, for nancial aid purposes, the College must
establish and monitor standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in
three areas: cumulative GPA (Qualitative Measurement), hours earned each
term (67% Quantitative Measurement), and program completion time limits
(150% Maximum Timeframe Measurement). A student must maintain satis-
factory progress in all three areas regardless of receipt of previous nancial
aid. In order to maintain satisfactory progress, a student receiving nancial
aid must:
1.
Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0. A student must maintain a GPA
consistent with the established College policy. Any nancial aid stu-
dent whose cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 at the end of a term will
be placed on nancial aid warning for the next term of attendance.
Students attending under the status of nancial aid warning will remain
eligible for nancial aid. Any student under nancial aid warning who
does not meet the minimum 2.0 GPA requirement at the end of the term
will become ineligible to receive nancial aid. Any student deemed ineli-
gible for nancial aid (by the Financial Aid Oce), will have the one-time
opportunity to appeal for extenuating circumstances. A student under
nancial aid warning status with an approved appeal will be placed on
nancial aid probation. A student attending under the status of nancial
aid probation will remain eligible for nancial aid. Any student under
nancial aid probation who does not meet the minimum 2.0 GPA require-
ment at the end of the term will be notied by the Financial Aid Oce
of ineligibility for future nancial aid until the academic deciencies are
resolved; and
79
2. Complete 67% of the total credit hours attempted each term. Financial
aid students must complete at least 67% of all hours attempted each
term. Successful completion includes grades of P, D, or higher and
does not include grades of F, IP, R, and/or W. A grade of “I” may aect
your completion rate. If the nancial aid student falls below the 67%
completion rate, the student will be notied by the Financial Aid Oce
of the rst 67% violation and will be placed on nancial aid warning for
the next term of attendance. The student will remain eligible for nancial
aid while under nancial aid warning and must complete at least 67%
of all hours attempted during the next term of enrollment. A student
not completing 67% of the requirements of the term of enrollment will
become ineligible to receive nancial aid. Any student deemed ineligible
for nancial aid (by the Financial Aid Oce), will have the one-time
opportunity to appeal for extenuating circumstances. A student under
nancial aid warning status with an approved appeal will be placed on
nancial aid probation. A student attending under the status of nancial
aid probation will remain eligible for nancial aid. Any student under
nancial aid probation who does not complete 67% of the requirements
of the term of enrollment will be notied by the Financial Aid Oce of
ineligibility for future nancial aid until the curriculum completion de-
ciencies are resolved; and
3.
Complete program of study within 150% of the semester hours required
to graduate. Students are required to complete their curriculum within
150% of the curriculum length. All hours attempted at Coastal, excluding
30 hours of developmental courses, are counted toward this maximum
timeframe for curriculum completion (regardless of when they were
attempted). Financial aid students who exceed the 150% maximum
timeframe standard will be notied by the Financial Aid Oce of their
ineligibility for future nancial aid. Any student deemed ineligible for
nancial aid (by the Financial Aid Oce), will have the one-time oppor-
tunity to appeal for extenuating circumstances.
FINANCIAL AID APPEALS PROCESS
Any student who becomes ineligible to receive nancial aid has the opportunity
to appeal for extenuating circumstances. If the student is deemed ineligible for
nancial aid, he or she may appeal the eligibility decision of the Financial Aid
Department by submitting a written request for an appeal, in addition to any
supporting documentary evidence showing any extenuating circumstances
that caused the student to become ineligible, to the Assistant Director for
Financial Aid Services or designee within ten (10) working days from the date
of notication. If no action is taken to request an appeal, then the decision not
to award nancial aid will remain in eect.
Upon receipt of the student’s written request for an appeal, the Assistant
Director for Financial Aid Services or designee will inform the Chair of the
80
Financial Aid Appeals Committee in writing within ten (10) working days, and
the Chair of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee, upon receiving written noti-
cation from the Assistant Director for Financial Aid Services, will convene the
Financial Aid Appeals Committee within ten (10) working days in order to hold
an appeal hearing on the student’s request for the reinstatement of nancial
aid.
Prior to attending the appeal hearing, the student must also meet, as part of
the appeal process, with either a Success Coach or an Academic Advisor/
Counselor to establish an Academic Success Plan, and the Financial Aid
Appeals Committee will review the established Academic Success Plan during
the hearing. Both the student and a Financial Aid Department representative
must be present at the hearing, and the Financial Aid Department represen-
tative must provide documentation to show that the student is not eligible to
receive additional nancial aid.
After reviewing all available evidence, as well as hearing from not only the
student but also the Financial Aid Department representative, the Financial
Aid Appeals Committee will render a decision within ve (5) working days,
and the student will be notied of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee deci-
sion in writing. With an approved appeal, the student will receive a Financial
Aid Appeal Agreement Form that lists all conditions and stipulations of the
approved appeal and must be returned within ve (5) working days of noti-
cation. A retroactive payment of nancial aid for semesters when a student
was on academic probation or curriculum completion probation is prohibited.
If the student chooses not to attend the hearing, the decision of the Financial
Aid Department will stand and be nal. A student may be reinstated for nan-
cial aid by (1) approval of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee or (2) enrolling
at the College without the use of federal nancial aid and maintaining satisfac-
tory academic progress consistent with the established College standards. All
decisions of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee are nal.
REINSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
A student will regain eligibility for nancial aid after satisfactory academic
progress or satisfactory curriculum completion standards are met.
EDUCATION CREDITS FOR TAXPAYERS
The American Opportunity Tax Credit can be claimed for expenses paid for
tuition, certain fees, and materials for higher education for the rst four years
of post-secondary education.
The Lifetime Learning Credit may be available for credit of up to $2,000 for
qualied education expenses paid for all eligible students. A tax advisor or the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can provide additional information on educa-
tion tax credit opportunities.
81
FINANCIAL AID FRAUD AND FORGERY
Falsication and misrepresentation of information submitted for the purpose of
receiving nancial assistance will result in the cancellation of future assistance
and repayment of all prior assistance received under false pretense. Signing
someone else's name and falsication of income information are examples
of fraud and forgery. Purposely providing false or misleading information to
receive federal nancial aid is in violation of the College's rules of proscribed
conduct and may result in prosecution under state and federal laws.
VETERANS PROGRAMS
The College is approved for the training of veterans; the spouse and chil-
dren of any totally and permanently disabled veteran (disability must be
service-connected); and the spouse and children of a veteran who dies of
a service-connected injury, a service-connected disability, or a service-con-
nected death. Persons seeking such entitlements should contact the Oce of
Veterans Programs. Academic program eligibility is subject to approval by the
North Carolina State Approving Agency.
To receive VA educational entitlements, a veteran student must: (1) be fully
admitted to a VA approved curriculum or Continuing Education program, (2)
apply for those entitlements, (3) meet eligibility requirements established by
the VA, and (4) be familiar with the Veterans Assistance Handbook. Copies
are available on Coastal's website at www.coastalcarolina.edu. VA educational
entitlements will not be provided for audited courses, credit by examination
courses, repeated courses previously completed with a grade of "D" or better,
courses for which transfer credit has been granted, or courses not in the
veteran student's designated curriculum, except required remedial courses.
VA educational entitlements are provided based on chapter denition. A
Chapter 30 student is a veteran who entered on active duty after July 1, 1985,
and contributed to the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB). A Chapter 31 student is
a disabled veteran who requested, from the VA, vocational rehabilitation.
Chapter 32 students participated in the Veterans Educational Assistance
Program and started active duty between January 1, 1977, and June 30, 1985.
A Chapter 33 student is a veteran who served at least 90 days on active duty
after September 10, 2001. A Chapter 34/30 student served on active duty prior
to December 31, 1976. A Chapter 35 student may be the spouse or child of a
totally permanently disabled veteran or of a less than 100% disabled veteran
if the veteran is rated unemployable (disability must be service-connected) or
the spouse or child of a veteran who died as the result of a service-connected
injury, a service-connected disability, or a service-connected death. A Chapter
1606 student is serving in an active reserve unit and has fourteen (14) years to
use his/her VA educational entitlements. A Chapter 1607 student may receive
82
educational assistance for serving in the Department of Defense, selected
reserves, or National Guard called to active duty after September 11, 2001, or
service disabled members released before completing 90 consecutive days
active duty.
The Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship (Fry Scholarship)
provides Post-9/11 GI Bill benets to the children and surviving spouses
of Service members who died in the line of duty while on active duty after
September 10, 2001. Eective January 1, 2015, Section 701 of the Veterans
Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 has expanded the Fry
Scholarship to also provide benets for eligible surviving spouses.
It is the responsibility of students receiving VA education entitlements to con-
tact the Oce of Veterans Programs prior to dropping or withdrawing from any
classes. Any change in a student’s enrollment status could generate a
requirement to repay VA education entitlements.
If a veteran student fails to maintain the minimum GPA requirements (in accor-
dance with the academic progress scale stated in the institutional catalog)
for a series of three (3) designated semesters, VA educational benets will
be terminated. The veteran student may continue to attend the institution
but cannot receive VA educational benets. When the veteran student's GPA
meets acceptable standards, he/she may resume receipt of benets.

CENTER FOR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT
For more than 50 years, North Carolina's community colleges have supported
business and industry with customized training. North Carolina was the rst
state in the nation to deliver company-specic instruction as a component of
the state's economic development eorts. Coastal Carolina continues this
tradition, supporting the economic development of Onslow County, through
the Center for Business and Industry Development as follows.
Small Business Center (SBC)
The Small Business Center provides educational opportunities and support
to prospective and existing small businesses. Services include small busi-
ness seminars and courses, free one-on-one counseling, information and
referral, a resource library, and business plan assistance. The SBC's REAL
Entrepreneurship program examines the development of a business idea,
market analysis, and the components of a business plan. Students gain
knowledge from hands-on activities and guest speakers who are successful
business owners.
Military Business Center (MBC)
The North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) is a collaborative
eort between North Carolina business and industry and the North Carolina
Community College System. The mission of the MBC is to leverage the pres-
ence of the military in North Carolina to promote economic development and
quality of life. Business services include providing hands-on assistance for
completing required registrations; nding federal opportunities; developing
proposals; and invoicing federal projects. MBC sta can also assist with busi-
ness-to-business mentoring; provide intelligence on current short-term and
93
long-term military business opportunities (both prime and subcontract); iden-
tify potential North Carolina based business partners and sub-contractors; and
conduct business client intake, screening, and referral to the Small Business
Center, Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), and other provid-
ers to help prepare for competition.
Industry Training Center (ITC)
The Industry Training Center supports the needs of industries in Onslow
County. In cooperation with the North Carolina Community College System
(NCCCS), the ITC will design a customized training curriculum to meet individ-
ual company needs under the State's Customized Training Program. Industries
that qualify for this free training include manufacturing, technology intensive,
regional or national warehousing and distribution centers, customer support
centers, air courier services, national headquarters with operations outside
North Carolina, and civil service employees providing technical support to
US military installations located in North Carolina. Eligible businesses and
industries must demonstrate two or more of the following criteria: the business
is making an appreciable capital investment; the business is deploying new
technology; the business is creating jobs, expanding an existing workforce or
enhancing the productivity and protability of the operations within the State;
and the skills of the workers will be enhanced by the assistance. Training may
be conducted at the company's site by College faculty, third-party contracted
resources, or by subject matter experts within the company.
HUMAN SERVICES
A variety of programs and services are available through the Human Services
Department, which is located in room 109 of the Kenneth B. Hurst Continuing
Education Building. Classes are oered covering a variety of employability skill
topics such as resume writing, goal setting and networking. These classes
are oered free to those who qualify. Financial assistance is available for
curriculum and continuing education students who qualify. Funds may assist
with tuition, books, tools, supplies, and childcare. To inquire, please contact
the Human Services Department or call (910) 938-6309.
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS (CSP)
Community service classes reect the needs and interests of the citizens
of Onslow County. These classes provide new avenues for personal devel-
opment, skills training, cultural enrichment, and lifelong learning. Course
oerings may include arts and crafts, sewing, motorcycle safety, defensive
driving, and wellness.
The College reserves the right to refuse admission to any student whose
enrollment or continued presence is considered a risk for campus safety or
disruption of the educational process. Prior disciplinary records may be con-
sidered when students seek admission to the College.

COLLEGE TRANSFER PROGRAMS
ASSOCIATE IN ARTS (A.A.), ASSOCIATE IN ARTS IN TEACHER
PREPARATION (A.A.T.P.), ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE (A.S.),
ASSOCIATE IN ENGINEERING (A.E.), ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE IN
TEACHER PREPARATION (A.S.T.P.), ASSOCIATE IN FINE ARTS
(A.F.A.), AND ASSOCIATE IN GENERAL EDUCATION NURSING
(A.G.E.)
Associate degrees are oered in the arts (A.A.), teacher preparation (A.A.T.P)
sciences (A.S.), engineering, (A.E.), teacher preparation (A.S.T.P.) ne arts
(A.F.A.), and general education nursing (A.G.E.) for students who aspire to
transfer to a four-year college or university. The 60/61 semester hours credit
for an A.A., A.E., A.F.A in Theatre, A.F.A in Visual Arts, an A.F.A in Music,
A.G.E, or A.S. are designed to parallel the freshman and sophomore years of
study at four-year colleges and universities.
In the process of successfully completing a college transfer program, the
college transfer student will have demonstrated the ability to:
1. communicate eectively in written and oral English;
2. demonstrate basic quantitative skills appropriate to the chosen eld
of study;
3. analyze and solve problems and make logical conclusions;
4. demonstrate information literacy;
5. apply basic computer skills; and
6. demonstrate knowledge of diverse cultural and historical perspectives.
The Associate in Arts Degree is for students desiring to pursue liberal arts and
pre-professional programs in areas other than the ne arts and the sciences.
The Associate in Science Degree is for students desiring to enter science
and/or mathematics related elds. The Associate in Engineering Degree is for
students desiring to pursue a baccalaureate degree in engineering.
The Associate in Arts and Science programs are part of the Comprehensive
Articulation Agreement (CAA) which addresses the transfer of students
between institutions in the North Carolina Community College System and the
constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina. The CAA enables
North Carolina community college graduates of two-year associate in arts
and science degree programs who are admitted to constituent institutions of
the University of North Carolina to transfer with junior status. The CAA does
not guarantee admission to a university; admission to a university does not
constitute admission to a professional school or a specic program.
99
The Associate in Engineering degree is for students desiring to pursue a bac-
calaureate degree in engineering. The Associate in Engineering Degree is
part of the Uniform Articulation Agreement between the University of North
Carolina Baccalaureate Engineering Programs and the North Carolina
Community College System. This agreement ensures that a student who
completes the Associate in Engineering Degree with a GPA of at least 2.5
and a grade of "C" or better in the required courses will have fullled the
entrance requirements at all of the North Carolina public Bachelor of Science
in Engineering programs. Associate in Engineering graduates may then apply
to any of these programs without taking additional and sometimes duplicative
courses. However, because engineering program admissions are competitive,
no student is guaranteed admission to an engineering program.
The Associate in Fine Arts Degree is for students desiring to pursue studies
in Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts. Upon admission to another public two-year
institution or to a public university, a community college student who was
enrolled in an Associate in Fine Arts Degree program and who satisfactorily
completed with a grade of "C" or better in all courses that are designated
for college transfer (general education, elective, or pre-major), will receive
credit for those courses. The receiving institution will determine whether the
course will count as general education, major, or elective credit. Each degree
program has additional requirements for coursework in liberal arts, ne arts,
and sciences.
The Associate in General Education-Nursing Degree is for students desiring to
pursue studies in Nursing or other health occupational elds. Upon admission
to another public two-year institution or to a public university, a community col-
lege student who was enrolled in an Associate in General Education-Nursing
Degree program and who satisfactorily completed with a grade of "C" or better
in all courses that are designated for college transfer (general education,
elective, or pre-major), will receive credit for those courses. The receiving
institution will determine whether the course will count as general education,
major, or elective credit. Each degree program has additional requirements
for coursework in liberal arts, ne arts, and sciences. Nursing program admis-
sions is competitive; no student is guaranteed admission to a nursing or other
health occupational programs.
APPLICATION TO A UNIVERSITY
Admission application deadlines vary; students must meet the deadline for
the senior institution to which they plan to transfer. Students are encouraged
to contact the senior institution to conrm degree oerings and admission
requirements.
