GENERAL INFORMATION

Responding to therecommendation of alegislative study committeethat “every citizen of theCommonwealth be givenan opportunity to attendan institution of higherlearning o!ering academic,occupational/technical, andcommunity service programsat a nominal cost,” in 1966the General Assembly ofVirginia established a state-wide system of communitycolleges. A newly establishedState Board for CommunityColleges prepared a masterplan for a system of 23 institutions.

The Lieutenant Governor, J. Sargeant Reynolds, heralded thecreation of the community college system by the GeneralAssembly as “one of its finest acts and finest hours in thiscentury.”

Reynolds Community College, the last of these colleges, isnamed in honor of the late Lieutenant Governor of the State, whochampioned legislation creating the state-supported communitycolleges. Opened in 1972 in temporary headquarters, Reynoldsis now a four-location (Parham Road, Downtown, Goochland,The Kitchens at Reynolds) institution. It is the third largest inthe Virginia Community College System, serving the City ofRichmond and the counties of Goochland, Hanover, Henrico,Powhatan, and Louisa.

From its inception, Reynolds has recognized its strategic role inthe metropolitan Richmond area’s economic development. In1977, Reynolds established its nationally recognized Center forO?ce Development, a statewide pilot project with the VirginiaCommunity College System and State of Virginia, to providetraining in o?ce and supervisory skills for employees of theCommonwealth. Within several years the Center opened thistraining opportunity to all individuals and businesses.

By Spring 1989, Reynolds o!ered short-term training andseminars at three strategic locations in the metropolitanRichmond area.

Demand for these services from the business communitycontinued to escalate. As a result, Reynolds reorganized itsoutreach e!orts in 1994 by creating the Institute for EconomicDevelopment & Extended Studies. In response to the evolvingneeds of the business community, the unit reorganized in thefall of 2000, changing its name to the Institute for WorkforceDevelopment. The Institute was comprised of six Centersincluding the Center for Corporate Training, the Center forOrganizational E!ectiveness, the Center for Lifelong Learning,the Center for Apprenticeship Programs, the Center forEntrepreneurial Development, and the Center for ProfessionalDevelopment and Renewal.

Reynolds and John Tyler Community College collaborated in2003 to create a new workforce development entity that providesbusiness, industry, and government in the region with a singlesource for workforce development. The new organization isnamed the Community College Workforce Alliance (CCWA). Thealliance is a cooperative partnership dedicated to supportingeconomic development and providing world-class workforcetraining and services to both the public and private sectors.The vision behind the new organization is to maximize thetalents and resources of both institutions’ current workforcedevelopment centers in an e!ort to provide Richmond, Tri-cities,and surrounding counties with a world-class regional workforcedevelopment organization.

Reynolds currently o!ers two-year college transfer andoccupational-technical degrees, one-year occupational-technicalcertificates, and career studies certificates requiring less thanone year of full-time study. Having enrolled more than 352,000persons in credit courses since its opening, Reynolds continuesto strive to meet the aspirations of its namesake to provide “apractical and economic answer to the future educational needs ofthousands of Virginians.”

Sargeant Reynolds Community College (Reynolds) provides anaccessible, quality education that develops students for successin the workplace, prepares students for successful transferto colleges and universities, builds a skilled workforce thatcontributes to regional economic development, and promotespersonal enrichment and lifelong learning.

DisbursementStudents who are receiving financial aid will have their aidapplied directly to tuition and fees. Financial aid recipients mayuse a portion of their award to purchase books and supplies ata campus bookstore if the amount of their financial aid awardexceeds the cost of tuition and fees. Typically, students maybegin charging books to their financial aid at least five days priorto the first day of classes. The last day to drop a class with arefund for the 2nd 7-week session is also the last day studentsmay charge books and supplies to their financial aid, if theirfinancial aid award has not disbursed.

A student’s financial aid funds will be disbursed to studentaccounting after the census date has passed for all the classesin which they are enrolled. Refunds will be sent to the studentby way of either direct deposit or a paper check via U.S. Mail.Refunds represent the amount of the student’s semester award,minus any funds used to pay tuition and fees or to purchasebooks and supplies.

All services will be withheld from a student who owes money toReynolds or who has books and materials outstanding from theReynolds libraries. This means no transcripts will be issued, thestudent will not be permitted to re-register, and no other collegeservices will be provided.

Students must pay tuition and fees, or have su?cient anticipatedaid by the published payment deadlines or they will be droppedfrom all or some courses for non-payment. Anticipated financialaid will hold a student’s registered classes if that aid is greaterthan or equal to the total tuition and fees. Students who wantto use financial aid to pay bookstore charges must first registerfor classes. Students who are not certain if their aid is su?cientto cover their tuition and fees can contact the O?ce of FinancialAid, a campus Business O?ce, or review the information in theStudent Information System (SIS).

Students Attending Two Colleges at theSame TimeStudents who are enrolled at two di!erent colleges or universitiesare not able to receive financial aid at both institutions. A studentwho is enrolled concurrently at Reynolds and another collegemust decide which college financial aid will be received and

communicate that decision to the financial aid o?ce of thatinstitution.

Students who receive financial aid from two di!erent institutionsas a result of concurrent enrollment will lose eligibility for furtherfinancial assistance and may be required to repay financial aidfunds received at one of the institutions.

Impact of Drops/Withdrawals fromCourse(s)Students are eligible for a refund of tuition and fees paid forthose credit hours dropped during the published drop period.After the published drop period has passed, there will be norefunds. In all cases of dropped courses, any financial aid thestudent received based on those credits will be canceled, and thestudent will owe funds to Reynolds and/or federal government.

To obtain a refund during the published drop period, a studentmust complete an o?cial Drop form and submit it to the O?ce ofFinancial Aid or complete the drop process in SIS.

Federal and state financial aid regulations state that a student’sfinancial aid must be recalculated based on the number ofcalendar days they attended classes if he/she o?cially oruno?cially withdraws from all classes on or before completing60% of the semester or does not complete the entire semester.The calculated unearned portion of the total of Title IV fundsawarded a student (Pell Grant, SEOG, Federal Direct Sta!ordLoan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, COMA, and VGAP) must bereturned, according to the provisions of the Higher EducationAmendments of 1998. The calculation of the return of these fundswill likely result in the student owing a balance to Reynolds and/or the federal government.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Federal and state guidelines require that institutions monitorstudents’ academic progress towards the completion of adegree or certificate. Students must make Satisfactory AcademicProgress (SAP) from both qualitative and quantitative measures.SAP is measured by cumulative GPA, completion rate andmaximum time frame. In order to be in compliance with SAP, a



student must meet all three criteria. Failure to make satisfactoryacademic progress results in the loss of financial aid eligibility.

Cumulative grade point average (GPA): A student must achievea minimum grade point average which is listed below. Only non-remedial courses with grades of A, B, C, D, and F are includedin this calculation. Transfer credits are not included in thiscalculation.

Credit Hours Attempted Minimum Expected GPA

1 - 15 1.5

16 - 30 1.75

31+ 2.0

Completion Rate:(Total number of credit hours earned in relation to the numberof credit hours attempted) Students must successfully completetwo thirds (67%) of the credit hours attempted at the timesatisfactory progress is assessed. By law, Reynolds must countdevelopmental, ESL, and all credit courses. Successful completionis considered earned grades of A, B, C, D, P, or S. Courses are notconsidered successfully completed when grades of F, I, U, W, orR or missing grades are earned. Accepted transfer credits will becounted as both attempted and completed.

Maximum Time Frame: (Total number of credit hours attempted in relation to numberof credit hours necessary to complete the degree or certificationprogram, including transfer credits). Students must completetheir program within 150% of the program’s total creditrequirements. Developmental credits are not included in thiscalculation. All non-developmental and transfer credits areincluded, regardless of whether or not financial aid was received.

Academic AdvisingReynolds is committed to providing a variety of servicesto help students experience success. Academic advising, as oneof these services, is designed to assist students in developingand following an educational plan that is meaningful andcompatible with their educational and career goals. Academicadvisors assist students with: selecting the appropriateprogram; developing a plan or timetable for completing theprogram; developing student and semester-specific courseschedules; monitoring and following up on academic progress;identifying and making referrals to appropriate learningassistance opportunities as necessary; and re-evaluating careerand educational goals in light of job market shifts and otherconsiderations.

Advising services at Reynolds vary based on studentneeds. Trained academic advising specialists are availablethrough Advising Services. All new students should meetwith an Advising Services advising specialist via attending aStudent Orientation Advising and Registration (SOAR) priorto their first enrollment in Reynolds. During this initial session,the student’s educational and career goals are discussed inrelationship to their academic preparation.

Grading — Developmental StudiesA grade of “S” (Satisfactory) shall be assigned for satisfactorycompletion of each course in developmental studies or English asa Second Language (ESL) courses numbered 1 - 99. “S” gradesare not included in grade point average calculations.

Students making satisfactory progress but not completing allof the instructional objectives for courses in developmentalstudies or ESL courses shall be graded with an “R” (Re-enroll). Astudent who has earned an “R” must enroll again and successfullycomplete the course.

Students not making satisfactory progress in developmentalstudies or ESL courses shall be given a “U” grade. Studentson financial aid should check each semester on their graderequirements for making satisfactory progress.

The “I” and “W” grades may be utilized, as appropriate, fordevelopmental studies and ESL courses.

Grade Point AverageThe term and cumulative grade point average (GPA) isdetermined by dividing the total number of grade points earnedin courses by the total number of credits attempted. Courseswhich do not generate grade points are not included in creditsattempted (audits, developmental courses, ESL courses, coursestaken with pass/unsatisfactory option). The GPA is carried out tothree digits past the decimal point (i.e. there is no rounding). SeeRepeated Grade and Academic Renewal sections below.

Repeated GradeWhen students repeat a course taken Fall 1996 or later that wasrepeated Summer 1988 or later, only the most recent attempt isused to calculate the cumulative GPA. Courses completed andrepeated during the initial period of the repeat policy (Summer1994 - Summer 1996) for which GPA adjustments have alreadybeen made, are not a!ected. Additionally, adjustments made asa part of “academic renewal” are not a!ected. Only the latestattempt is used in determining if graduation requirements aremet.

Certain courses are exempt from consideration as repeats andan adjustment to the GPA is not made, including but not limitedto courses with course numbers 090, 190, 290, 095, 195, 295,096, 196, 296, 097, 197, 297, 098, 198, 298, 099, 199, and 299.

Periodically the VCCS will rename or renumber courses but theyremain equivalent to the previous named and numbered courses.In such cases, completion of a renumbered/renamed course maybe determined to be a repeat of a course completed previouslyunder a di!erent department and/or course number. Thesedeterminations are made on a college-wide basis, and exceptionscannot be made for an individual student.

Implementation of this policy does not revise any GPAcalculations for prior terms or any academic, financial, or

administrative events that have occurred in the past. Anyquestions should be directed to the Registrar.

Final GradesFinal grades for each semester can be viewed and printed usingMyREYNOLDS. Students must have their Reynolds username andpassword to obtain their grades.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

College Transfer ProgramsAward — Associate of Science (AS)Associate of Arts (AA)

Reynolds transfer programs include freshman- and sophomore-level courses in arts and sciences and pre-professional education,meeting standards acceptable for transfer to bachelor’s degreeprograms in four-year colleges and universities. These programsare specifically designed for transfer at the junior level.

University Parallel StudyReynolds o!ers programs leading to the Associate of Arts (AA)degree or the Associate of Science (AS) degree. Commonlyreferred to as college transfer or university parallel study, theseprograms are designed for students who plan to complete thefreshman and sophomore years of college work at Reynolds andthen transfer to universities and four-year colleges of their choice.Each university has di!erent requirements for baccalaureateprograms. Reynolds advisors and specialists in the Career,Employment and Transfer Centers will assist students in theselection of the curriculum of study most applicable to theirbaccalaureate plans. Earned credits in the program are generallytransferable to the senior college or university and applicabletoward a bachelor’s degree. Students should work with theiracademic advisors and transfer specialists to select their coursesto match the requirements of the transfer institution.

Reynolds has articulation agreements for specific academicprograms with several Virginia universities and colleges. Suchagreements guarantee that the student with the associate degreehas complete transferability of all credits. A student transferringprior to the receipt of the associate of arts or associate ofscience degree is not assured of such status. Advisors andtransfer specialists can provide information about articulationagreements.

Reynolds also o!ers two-year programs that lead to theAssociate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. These occupational/technical programs are specifically designed to preparestudents for immediate employment. Some four-year collegesand universities have accepted courses into their programcounterparts from AAS degree programs that are not designedfor transfer purposes. It is the responsibility of the four-yearinstitution to determine and publish its policies on the admissionof transfer students and the criteria for determining theacceptability of transfer credits completed at another institution.Additional general education courses may be required to transferwith junior status from AAS degree programs. Students shouldwork closely with their academic advisors and the transferspecialists to select courses that match requirements of thetransfer institution.

State Policy on Transfer from CommunityColleges to Senior InstitutionsVirginia’s system of public colleges and universities has extendedhigher education throughout the Commonwealth from Eastern

Shore to Big Stone Gap and from Fairfax to Southside. Thesystem gives students ready access to college and enables themto choose from among many two- and four-year institutions.Ideally, students should be able to move through Virginia’spublic education system as if it were a continuum, rather thana system of distinct levels or separate stages. The State Boardfor Community Colleges and the Council of Higher Education forVirginia have endorsed a coherent statewide policy to facilitatetransfer between state-supported community colleges and seniorcolleges and universities. This policy requires commitment byboth community colleges and senior institutions to commongoals on behalf of students and education.

Transfer AgreementsReynolds has agreements with many senior institutionscovering the conditions for student transfer from Reynolds toa baccalaureate program at the four-year college or university.Many of the agreements guarantee admission. These formalarrangements are referred to as transfer agreements. Thearrangements fall into two categories—the master transferagreement, which provides general guarantees to transferringstudents, and the program-specific articulation agreementcovering the conditions for the transfer into a particularcurriculum. Students transferring prior to the receipt of theassociate of arts or associate of science degree are not coveredunder these articulation agreements. Advisors and transferspecialists can provide information about these agreements.

Reynolds has current agreements, as a result of either directnegotiations between Reynolds and the transfer institution orthe creation of a system-wide agreement between the VirginiaCommunity College System and the transfer institution.

For the most current list of transfer agreements, visitreynolds.edu/gta.

Occupational and Technical Programs Award —Associate of Applied Science (AAS)Certificate

The occupational and technical education programsare designed to prepare students for employment as technicians,paraprofessionals, and skilled craftspersons.

The associate of applied science degree is awarded forcompletion of two-year programs.

The certificate is awarded for completion of a program less thantwo years in length, generally two or three semesters.

Career Studies ProgramsAward — Certificate

Career studies certificates can be completed in a shorter periodof time than other certificate programs. These programs provideopportunities for upgrading occupational or technical skills,retraining for a career change, and investigating new careerpossibilities.



Computer Competency Requirement forStudents Reynolds emphasizes the importance of computer competencyfor all students who are enrolled in a college program thatrequires a minimum of 30 credits for graduation. Programs with30 or more credits provide for the computer competency ofstudents in one of three ways:

1. including a computer competency course - ITE 115 or CSC 155 inthe curriculum,

2. requiring that students in the curriculum pass the Reynoldscomputer competency exam, or

3. including a course or courses that meet or exceed thecomputer competency requirements as a part of the curriculum.Students should consult the catalog description of their programto determine the computer competency requirement.

Students in programs that require ITE 115 or CSC 155 cansatisfy the computer competency course requirement in thecurriculum by passing the Reynolds computer competencyexam administered in the testing centers on each campus.Because CSC 155 includes content that is not covered in ITE 115,students seeking college credit for CSC 155 will take a di!erentversion of the computer competency exam. Those students whosuccessfully pass the computer competency exam will receivecollege credit for either ITE 115 or CSC 155, without enrolling inthe course, depending on the version of the exam taken.

Any student not passing the computer competency exam will doone of the following based on the results of the test:

1. successfully complete ITE 115 or CSC 155 or

2. learn the competencies the student is lacking throughself-study or any other method that will enable the studentto learn the competencies and then retake the computercompetency exam. Students will be allowed to retake thecomputer competency exam only once. Upon retaking thecomputer competency exam, students who do not pass the exammust complete either ITE 115 or CSC 155.

CURRICULUM PLANNING

General Information Pertaining toCurricular O:eringsIn the following section, descriptions of all associate degree andcertificate curriculums o!ered by the college are presented.Each curriculum description (1) provides a statement of purposeor intent of the curricular program, (2) states the occupationalor transfer objectives for the program, (3) specifies curriculumadmission requirements for entry into the program, (4) statesthe required courses and minimum number of credit hours forcompletion, and (5) provides an outline for sequencing thecourses of study. Each curriculum is structured in accordancewith policies established by the State Board for CommunityColleges in Virginia. Additionally, the curriculums for all associatedegree programs meet criteria set forth by the Commission onColleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Curriculums for which the associate of applied science degreeand certificate are awarded are all structured to ensure thatgraduates of these programs have a significant general educationfoundation, in addition to the necessary skill developmenttraining. For the AAS degree, general education comprisesapproximately 25 percent of the total credit hours; for certificateprograms (not career studies certificates), this figure is aminimum of 15 percent.

The associate of arts and associate of science degree programsare designed for transfer to baccalaureate programs o!ered atfour-year colleges and universities. To avoid transfer problems,students should carefully select courses to fulfill electiverequirements with the assistance of their advisors and upon aninvestigation of the transfer requirements of the institution towhich transfer is considered. Not all curriculums of study areavailable on all campuses due to the specialized nature of thehuman and physical resources required to o!er the instructionalprogram. General education courses in the curriculums, however,may be taken at any of the three campus locations at which theyare o!ered.

DIETARY EXCEPTION POLICY: While enrolled and participatingin the Culinary Arts program, especially laboratories, students willcome into contact with various ingredients, some of which arefamiliar to them and many that are not. The Culinary Arts AAS isaligned with industry standards and expectations, which requirestudents to be industry-ready upon completion of the program. The industry expects taste development; therefore, a majority ofthe program revolves around "tasting as you go" as a standard ofhigher-level cooking, comprehension, and assessment. Withoutdirectly participating in tasting, the chances of a successful dishand grade are highly compromised. The following areas addressthese potential concerns:

TASTING - Part of the educational portion of the programis exposure to new ingredients, products, and flavorpairings. During required classes, students will participate intasting activities of foods that include safe to eat raw and freshingredients; cooked ingredients; and fresh, uncooked, and cookeddishes. Students will be expected to taste all items, except thosethat are documented on file as food restrictions.

ALLERGIES - The college is committed to student safety.Students with allergy concerns need to provide documentationof food allergies from their doctor to be registered and on filewith the O?ce of Student Accommodations, at which time thestudent will be provided an accepted accommodations formfor presentation to every instructor for each related course,each semester. Students need to provide in written form theprocess for assisting them if an issue arises related to this. Itis the student's responsibility to assure these documents areon file with the O?ce of Student Accommodations and thatthey are shared with faculty prior to being needed. In the eventthat a student opts out of a tasting activity, the instructor willo!er a relevant alternative written assignment for the studentto complete as a graded alternative to the objectionable tastingactivity.

RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS PRACTICES - Whereas Reynoldsaccepts students of all faiths, certain programs contain learningactivities that may not align with specific religions or religiouspractices. The Culinary Arts AAS and its specializations areexamples of these programs. Students may choose not toparticipate in tasting activities if a specific item conflicts withtheir religious beliefs; however, all e!orts should be madeto participate within reason. In the event that a student optsout of a tasting activity, the instructor will o!er a relevantalternative written assignment for the student to complete asa graded alternative to the objectionable tasting activity. Asecond option, referred to as the "Taste and Spit Method," is alsoavailable. Tasting and subsequent spitting allow the student toexperience the sensory attributes of the food without actuallyconsuming the food. This option satisfies the intended learningbenefits of tasting and would not require the completion of thealternative written assignment. During the first week of classes,students need to inform faculty in written form of any religiousrestrictions.

RESTRICTIVE AND MEDICAL DIETS - Documentedaccommodations through the O?ce of Accommodations areintended to provide a safe environment for students. Onlydocumented restrictions that provide students a reasonableability to complete the course and program objectives maybe accommodated. It is possible that not all requestedaccommodations will be granted through the O?ce of StudentAccommodations, as those that are provided may still requirestudents to complete tasks, recipes, and formulas that workwith the product in question as part of comprehensive learning. As an example, a student with Celiac's Disease who opts outof a tasting activity will be o!ered a relevant alternative writtenassignment as a graded alternative to the objectionable tastingactivity.

LIFESTYLE AND ELECTIVE DIETS - Whereas the choice offollowing a lifestyle or elective diet is respected, there areinstances where they may not be accommodated within thisprogram. These diets include, but are not limited to, Vegan, RawOnly, Vegetarian, Lacto-Ovo, Lacto, Ovo, Pollotarian, Pescatarian,and Flexitarian. Students may choose not to participate in certaintasting activities; however, their grade will be reflective of thesechoices. Students may choose an option referred to as the "Tasteand Spit Method." Tasting and subsequent spitting allow thestudent to experience the sensory attributes of the food withoutactually consuming the food. Students who choose to taste may

spit out the product after assessing the characteristics related tothe educational objectives.

Students with a particular concern or question should reachout directly to the program head or the O?ce of StudentAccommodations.

TASTING - Part of the educational portion of the programis exposure to new ingredients, products, and flavorpairings. During required classes, students will participate intasting activities of foods that include safe to eat raw and freshingredients; cooked ingredients; and fresh, uncooked, and cookeddishes. Students will be expected to taste all items, except thosethat are documented on file as food restrictions. The processof discerning tastes, flavors, seasonings, and "dish needs" isincluded as part of the grading rubric. Students who do notparticipate in tasting activities will have their grade adjustedaccordingly.

ALLERGIES - The college is committed to student safety.Students with allergy concerns need to provide documentationof food allergies from their doctor to be registered and on filewith the O?ce of Student Accommodations, at which time thestudent will be provided an accepted accommodations formfor presentation to every instructor for each related course,

each semester. Students need to provide in written form theprocess for assisting them if an issue arises related to this. Itis the student's responsibility to assure these documents areon file with the O?ce of Student Accommodations and thatthey are shared with faculty prior to being needed. In the eventthat a student opts out of a tasting activity, the instructor willo!er a relevant alternative written assignment for the studentto complete as a graded alternative to the objectionable tastingactivity.


RESTRICTIVE AND MEDICAL DIETS - Documentedaccommodations through the O?ce of Accommodations areintended to provide a safe environment for students. Onlydocumented restrictions that provide students a reasonableability to complete the course and program objectives maybe accommodated. It is possible that not all requestedaccommodations will be granted through the O?ce of StudentAccommodations, as those that are provided may still requirestudents to complete tasks, recipes, and formulas that workwith the product in question as part of comprehensive learning. As an example, a student with Celiac's Disease who opts outof a tasting activity will be o!ered a relevant alternative writtenassignment as a graded alternative to the objectionable tastingactivity.

LIFESTYLE AND ELECTIVE DIETS - Whereas the choice offollowing a lifestyle or elective diet is respected, there areinstances where they may not be accommodated within thisprogram.

Students may choose not to participate in certaintasting activities; however, their grade will be reflective of thesechoices. Students may choose an option referred to as the "Tasteand Spit Method." Tasting and subsequent spitting allow thestudent to experience the sensory attributes of the food withoutactually consuming the food. Students who choose to taste mayspit out the product after assessing the characteristics related tothe educational objectives.

PURPOSE: The Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts lays thefoundation for a Bachelor of Arts degree in art and art history,ASL-English Interpretation, communication, Deaf studies, English/literature, history, humanities, journalism, music, philosophy,pre-law, social sciences, speech-language pathology, religious

studies, and world languages. The liberal arts promote a broadbackground of knowledge across the arts, humanities, languages,and social sciences to develop students' abilities in analyticaland critical thinking, written and oral communication, andunderstanding global cultural awareness. The Liberal Arts degreeis a two-year program designed for those students who planto transfer to a four-year college or university to completea Bachelor of Arts degree. While the program is designedto provide transfer paths that will match the requirementsof four-year colleges and universities, the requirements maydi!er. Therefore, students are strongly urged to work withtheir assigned advisor and to acquaint themselves with therequirements of the major department in the college or universityto which they plan to transfer. This program requires intermediateproficiency (two years of coursework or its equivalent) in alanguage other than English.

Each student admitted to the program is assigned an academicadvisor to help plan the appropriate course of studies to transferto the student's choice of a four-year college or university. Students who complete the program generally transfer as juniors.

THE TEACHER PREPARATION SPECIALIZATION is designed forstudents who plan to transfer to a four-year college or universityin a major that requires a background in the liberal arts, and whoplan to teach at the elementary, middle, or secondary schoollevel. The Teacher Preparation specialization enables the studentto participate in two field experiences in area schools.

THE ASL/DEAF STUDIES SPECIALIZATION is designed forstudents who plan to transfer to a four-year college or universityin a major that requires a background in American Sign Languageand Deaf persons as a cultural group. These expanding fieldsinclude speech-language pathology, deaf education, ASLinstruction, interpretation, interpreter education, linguistics, andDeaf studies (e.g., history, literature, and research).


PROGRAM NOTES: The following high school units are stronglyrecommended: three units of college preparatory mathematicsand two years of a foreign language.

NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS: Students who wish to belicensed to teach in Virginia should earn a baccalaureate degreein a liberal arts, science, or mathematics field. Students shouldconsult with their advisor regarding elective choices that matchtheir desired teaching endorsement area(s). While enrolled at thecommunity college, students should prepare for and successfullycomplete Praxis Core (Reading, Writing, and Mathematics), theinitial teacher licensure examination.

COMPUTER COMPETENCY REQUIREMENT: Students in theLiberal Arts degree program will meet the college’s computercompetency requirement by successfully completing ITE 115 orCSC 155. Students can also meet this requirement by passing thecollege’s computer competency exam, administered in the testingcenters on each campus, in which case they will receive collegecredit for ITE 115 or CSC 155. Students not passing the computercompetency exam may retake the exam only once.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES:











Upon successful completion of the AA degree in Liberal Arts, thestudent will be able to demonstrate:

• An interdisciplinary understanding of the human experiencefrom di!erent global, cultural, sociological, and historicalperspectives;

• An awareness of how social and cultural contexts shape andinfluence forms of human expression; and

CLINICAL PROGRESSION: The college o!ers this program ina?liation with the health care agencies and practitioners inthe communities the college serves. The college relies on itscommunity a?liates to provide clinical education opportunitiesfor its students, expert clinical preceptors, and course instructorsfor many courses. The often rapid changes in health care law,standards of practice, technology, and content of credentialingexaminations increasingly necessitate sudden changes in theprogram’s course content, policies, procedures, and coursescheduling. As a result, the college cannot guarantee everystudent continuous and uninterrupted clinical and courseinstruction as outlined in the printed catalog curriculum for thisprogram. Circumstances beyond the control of the college maynecessitate the postponement of course o!erings or changes inthe sequencing and/or location of scheduled courses or clinicalassignments. Additionally, the college may have to change theinstructor for courses after instruction has started.
