History of the College
In 1967, an abandoned prison compound located near the Village of Union in Hertford County was
purchased. Under the leadership of the State Rep. Roberts H. Jernigan, Jr., and with the support of Sen. J. J.
"Monk" Harrington and Rep. Emmett Burden, a fund to establish a two-year, vocational and technical
training institution was provided by the North Carolina General Assembly. Originally called Roanoke- Chowan
10
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Technical Institute, the institution's name changed to Roanoke-Chowan Technical College in 1981 and to
Roanoke-Chowan Community College (R-CCC) in 1987.
After the signing of an agreement by the Hertford County and State Boards of Education, the Hertford
County Boards of Commissioners and Education jointly appointed the first institutional governing board.
Among those serving on the board were Rep. Jernigan, who served as chair until his death in March 1986,
Sen. Harrington; H. C. Freeland; Hunter Sharp, Jr.; George Gibbs.; John Robinson; J. L. Faulcon; and
Garland Barnes. Serving as secretary was R. P. Martin.
JW. “Jack” Young, Jr. was elected as the first President. A former teacher, coach, and principal in the
Hertford County School System, Young held the presidency until his retirement in September 1980. He was
succeeded by seven other presidents.
Dr. Edward H. Wilson, Jr. led the institution from 1981 until 1983, followed by Dr. David W. Sink, Jr. from
1984-1987. In 1987, Dr. Harold E. Mitchell, who had served the school as a faculty member and later in an
administrative capacity, took the reins as the school’s fourth president. Mitchell served until 2000 and was
followed by Dr. Mary C. Wyatt. Wyatt’s tenure was between the years of 2001 to 2005. Dr. Ralph G. Soney
served as the sixth president from 2005-2012. Dr. Michael Elam served as the seventh president from 2013
– 2016. Dr. Jimmy T. Tate served as the eighth president from 2016-17. Dr. Stanley J. Elliott served as the
ninth president from 2017-19. Currently, Roanoke-Chowan Community College is under the leadership of its
tenth President, Dr. Murray Williams.
Roanoke-Chowan Community College is currently situated on a 41-acre tract of land and has seven buildings
that house instructional space and various administrative functions. The College currently has about 20
curricular programs in which students may seek degrees, diplomas, and short-term skills-based certificates.
Most recently, the College has added an Associate of Fine Arts Degree in Visual Arts.
The College also has taken greater strides to provide transfer opportunities for students to pursue higher-
level degrees. These efforts include the addition of the Hertford County Early College, which is located on
the College’s campus. Through the North Carolina Community College System, a formal transfer agreement
has been established with the 16-member University of North Carolina System, as well as with a variety of
private colleges.
In addition to conventional classroom instruction, the College has expanded its distance learning studies to
include Internet-based courses. It has increased efforts with area school systems to provide more
opportunities for high school students to take college courses, either on the R-CCC campus or at their
respective high schools. Greater focus also has been placed on meeting the existing and future workforce
needs of area business and industry through the Division of Continuing Education and Workforce
Development.
The Continuing Education and Workforce Development Division also has continued to meet business needs
by setting up basic or occupation-related classes within local industries as well as developing Focused
Industrial Training (FIT) opportunities. Its Small Business component works on a one-to-one basis with
individuals and small companies wanting to start and/or enhance a small business enterprise.
Roanoke-Chowan Community College has a strong tradition of building from the past and improving the
present as it moves toward meeting the needs of tomorrow. Further, while the College is proud of its past, it
realizes that its longevity is merely a stepping-stone to the future.

Operating Hours
Normal operating hours are 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
on Friday. Patrolled by county law enforcement authorities, the College does not permit unauthorized
personnel and/or vehicles on its property, nor does it assume responsibility for accidents, injuries, or
damages that might be incurred.
College Closings
The College will remain open as scheduled unless the following emergencies exist:
• Adverse or severe weather that would prevent students and employees from traveling or that would
prevent normal operation of the College.
• Quarantines or epidemics declared by medical authorities for public health purposes.
• Critical power or utilities failure that would prevent normal operation of the College.
• Declared national or state emergencies or restrictions imposed by civil authorities.
• Other contingencies, such as fire.
Announcements concerning school closing for both employees and students will be made by 6:30 a.m. A
message will be placed on the college telephone message system (252) 862-1200, on the college website at
www.roanokechowan.edu, and on the following television and radio stations:
WAVY TV Channel 10 – Virginia WITN TV Channel 7 – Washington, NC FM 98.3 Radio – Murfreesboro
AM 970 Radio and FM 99.3 Radio - Murfreesboro
Personnel and students are encouraged not to call media or automatically assume that the College will be
closed if no announcement has been made. Other public and private school closings in Hertford and
surrounding counties do not mean that the College is or will be closed.
Campus Security Act
In 1990, The Campus Security Act was signed into law. The implications of the law affect all postsecondary
institutions. More importantly it involves the entire campus community, not just the campus security
department in responding to crime incidents that occur on campus.
In 1998, the Campus Security Act was amended and renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The Act requires R-CCC to prepare and distribute to all
current faculty, staff, and students an annual report that sets forth our policies on crime prevention issues
and provides statistics on the number of specific, violent crimes (murder and non- negligent manslaughter
and negligent manslaughter, forcible and non-forcible sexual offenses, robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, arson, motor vehicle thefts, and hate crimes) that have occurred on campus and also the number
of arrests on campus for liquor law violations, drug use violations, and weapons possession.
Employees and students play a major role in the success of crime prevention programs by taking individual
precautionary steps to avoid becoming a crime victim, as well as by working together as a campus
community. Known or suspected violations of federal and state laws occurring on campus should be reported
to Campus
Security. Criminal incidents occurring at off-campus, college-sponsored activities should be reported to the
Campus Security and the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. The annual report is available at the
12
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
campus security department located in the Student Services Center and can be found at
http://ope.ed.gov/security/.
Campus security is comprised of authorized Hertford County deputy sheriffs and non-sworn employees
without authority granted by NCGS 74-A. As required by the provisions of this act, the following is provided:

Admission Requirements
Roanoke-Chowan Community College (R-CCC) operates under the open-door admissions policy established
in North Carolina General Statute 115.D. All community colleges maintain an open-door admissions policy for
all applicants who are high school graduates or are at least 18 years of age and who can benefit from the
available curricular programs. High school students also may enroll under certain conditions.
Before admission to R-CCC is granted, applicants must meet the college’s general requirements for
admission and any specific requirements set by the program in which they are seeking entry.
A high school diploma or a high school diploma equivalency certificate is required for degree-granting
programs and degree courses, as well as certain diploma and certificate programs. Non-high school
graduates who are at least 18 years of age may be allowed to enter certain diploma and certificate programs
or courses; however, they are ineligible for federal financial aid.
When to Apply
The process for admission to curriculum programs at R-CCC should begin as early as possible—preferably
four to six weeks before registration—to allow enough time to complete all steps in the process. Also,
applying early allows time to meet with advisors, apply for financial aid, and have questions answered.

supplementary transcript of the final semester’s work should be submitted by the school after high
school graduation. Applicants with a high school diploma equivalency certificate must submit a copy
of the test scores in lieu of a transcript.
Submit official transcripts of all work completed at other postsecondary institutions to Student Services if

Note: Facsimile transcripts may be used to register for courses; however, official transcripts must be on file
in Student Services before registering for subsequent terms.
• Take Placement Assessment, if required. "Reinforced Instruction for Student Excellence (RISE) is a
statewide initiative to improve the completion rate of gateway level English and Mathematics courses.
Starting in the Fall of 2020, students began placing students according to the RISE multiple measures
criteria. The placement criteria will utilize multiple guidelines in the past ten years including, but not
limited to, SAT, ACT, General Education Development (GED), High School Equivalency Test (HiSET)
14
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
and RISE placement tests. Students entering a North Carolina community college can also be placed
by unweighted high school gpa regardless of the timeframe of high school graduation.
• Students with an unweighted high school GPA of 2.8 or higher can enroll in any gateway course
without mandatory additional supports. Students with a GPA of 2.2 to 2.799 can enroll in gateway
courses with a mandatory co-requisite course. Students with a GPA of less than 2.2 are required to
enroll in a transition course in one of two areas: Basic Skills, which is self-paced, or Curriculum,
which is one semester in “length".
RISE Placement Test Information
• The RISE Placement Test may take two to four hours to complete. Students may take the RISE
Placement Test in sections over several days, if preferred.
• The RISE Placement Test is by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, contact the Testing
Specialist at (252) 862-1200.
• Students must present a valid photo ID to take the RISE Placement test. Children are not allowed in

study
RISE Placement Retesting Policy
Students are allowed to retake each tier only once. Students will not be allowed to retake the RISE test
within a 10-year period. The results of the test will place students into gateway math and English with or
without a co-requisite or into a transition course. Mastery of the transition course will allow students to
achieve levels.

Transfer Admissions
The College reserves the right to accept or reject credits earned at other recognized and regionally
accredited universities, colleges, and institutions. Credits are accepted in accordance with R-CCC program
offerings, and no credit for a course with a grade lower than C may be transferred. In some cases, (e.g.,
computer technologies and the health care programs) this may be more stringent. For transfer credits of
core nursing courses to the Associate Degree Nursing program, a minimum score of 80 is required on the
core courses.
Roanoke-Chowan Community College may also grant credit where applicable for military service schools in
accordance with the recommendations of the American Council of Education’s “Guide to the Evaluation of
Educational Experiences in the Armed Services” when consistent with the student’s program requirements.
Roanoke-Chowan Community College does allow credit for prior learning for certain programs, where
students have extensive work experience in the field (i.e., Criminal Justice Technology and Emergency
Medical Science). All courses in the North Carolina Community College System Combined Course Library
(CCL) are transferable from other colleges.
Individuals seeking transfer credit must complete an application for admission and provide official transcripts
from high school and all postsecondary institutions attended. A transcript evaluation is completed by the
Registrar in cooperation with the appropriate Program Coordinator when necessary. NOTE: In some cases,
a course description and/or course syllabus may be required to determine the transferability of a course. No
general education courses in math and English may be taken until the transcript evaluation is completed.
Also, the evaluation determines if placement testing is needed.
Transfer students must complete at least 25 percent of the required semester hours of resident credit at R-
CCC to be eligible to receive a degree, diploma, or certificate.
Admissions to the Associate Degree Nursing Program
The Associate Degree Nursing program has specific guidelines for program readmission (Please see
admissions requirements under the program description in this catalog).
Special Credit Admissions
Individuals who register for one or more credit courses without designating a specific curriculum are
classified as special credit students and may be exempt from certain requirements for admission.
16
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Special credit students who complete 15 semester hours of credit in each curriculum must declare a major
and meet all college and program admission requirements. However, when a special credit student declares
a major, appropriate credit earned as a special credit student may be accepted toward meeting the
requirements for graduation. Students not declaring a major will receive only audit credit for additional
courses beyond the completion of the 15 semester hours.
Special credit students must have a high school diploma or a high school equivalency diploma to take
degree-level courses, as well as courses in certain diploma and certificate programs. Unless declaring major,
special credit students who have earned college degrees may submit official college transcripts in lieu of high
school transcripts or high school equivalency scores. Note: Financial Aid students cannot be declared Special
Credit; to receive aid, they must enroll in a program.
International Student Admissions
International students with proper authorization through the immigration and naturalization services may be
admitted upon meeting certain criteria.
R-CCC has been approved to issue I-20 forms and enroll F-1 visa international students in AA and AS
programs of study. International students must be enrolled full-time. Full-time enrollment is a minimum of
12 semester credit hours for both fall and spring semesters.
In addition to R-CCC requirements, international students must (1) demonstrate a satisfactory achievement
on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score of at least Reading 17, Listening 17,
Speaking 16, and Writing 16 on the Internet Based Test (IBT). For the Computer Based Test (CPT), the
minimum score is 173 and 500 on the written test. Testing arrangements may be made by contacting the
Educational Testing Service, www.ets.org/toefl; however, an international student whose country has English
as the only official language is exempt from taking the TOEFL exam. International students who wish to
enroll in R-CCC must do the following: (1) complete an admissions application; (2) submit official transcripts
of high school and college records with certified English translations; 3) submit an official bank statement,
notarized letter of support, or sponsor’s bank statement (in US dollars) showing financial ability to cover
costs for tuition, fees, books, and living expenses for one academic year; and 4) submit documentation of
medical insurance to satisfy admission requirement for specific programs of study.
International students are classified as out-of-state students and, therefore, are charged out-of-state tuition.
Estimated costs for a dependent student are $13,936 and $15,936 for an independent student per academic
year. These estimated costs include out-of-state tuition rates, books, and living expenses. Length of stay,
payment of taxes, or ownership of property does not qualify an international student for status of legal
resident. The entire admissions process must be completed, and documentation received by the College
according to the following deadlines:
Fall semester admission – July 15
Spring semester admission – November 1
Summer term admission – March 1
Deferred Action Childhood Arrival (DACA) Students
Current NCCCS policy allows DACA applicants to enroll at Roanoke-Chowan Community College at the out-of-state
tuition cost. However, acceptance to the college does not guarantee acceptance to a specific program.

For additional information on the enrollment requirements, please visit the Hertford County Public Schools
Early College High School weB.S.ite at www.hertford.k12.nc.us/HertfordECollege.cfm
Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes
The NC Community College System (NCCCS) implemented a centralized “Residency Determination Service”
in 2017. Therefore, the following information may be subject to change. The Enrollment Management staff
at R-CCC is available to assist students who might have questions concerning in-state residency.
To qualify for in-state tuition, students must have maintained a primary domicile in North Carolina. A person
who has established legal residence (domicile) in North Carolina and maintained that legal residence for at
least 12 months (365 days) immediately prior to his or her classification is considered a resident for tuition
purposes.
Students who are classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes have the right to petition for a change in
classification to that of a resident if they can claim that now, and for at least the 12-month period
immediately preceding the date of such petition, they have been a legal resident of the State of North
Carolina. If it is determined that, in fact, they have been a legal resident for the required 12-month period,
the effective date of change in applicable tuition rates shall be the beginning of the next academic term
following the date of application for tuition change.
Students who are currently classified as a resident for tuition purposes and this status should change have
the obligation to petition for a change in classification to that of a nonresident. Failure to fulfill this obligation
may result in appropriate disciplinary action including, but not necessarily limited to, cancellation of
enrollment. If it is determined that, in fact, they have become a nonresident, the effective date of change in
applicable tuition rates shall be the next semester following the date of change.
Regulations concerning the classification of students by residence for purposes of applicable tuition
differentials are set forth in detail in “A Manual to Assist the Public Higher Education Institutions of North
Carolina in the Matter of Student Residence Classification for Tuition Purposes.” A copy of the manual is
available for student review in the Admissions Office and the Learning Resources Center (LRC).
The College provides postsecondary opportunities for all residents of our region to increase educational
opportunities and economic benefits by offering quality training in a cost-effective and cost-saving manner.
Thanks to a tuition waiver program for non-residents who are employed by a North Carolina business (GS
115D-39), any out-of-state student can qualify for in-state tuition rates if their employer agrees to pay the
tuition charges.
Photograph Release Statement
Roanoke-Chowan Community College reserves the right to make photographs, videos, and electronic images
of students and others on the college's campus and to use those images for news, marketing/advertising
and promotional purposes. All photographs are the exclusive property of Roanoke-Chowan Community
21

stated above must be made in writing to the Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Planning. Students or
employees who do not wish to have their images used by the College should state their desire to be
excluded at the time images are being made, whether in photographs or videos or any other method.
Exception: Images made during the College’s public events, such as graduation.
Academic Regulations
Academic Integrity
In addition to good academic performance, students should exhibit honesty and integrity. Academic
dishonesty is regarded by the College as a breach of academic ethics and deserves consequences. Academic
dishonesty includes acts such as cheating, plagiarism, knowingly furnishing false information, forgery,
alteration, or any use of identification or other projects with an intent to defraud. Faculty will act to address
cases involving academic dishonesty as they deem appropriate. Repeated acts of academic dishonesty will
be referred to the Associate Vice President of Student Services, who has the authority to administer more
severe disciplinary actions according to the Student Code of Conduct. Please review your college catalog and
handbook for more information on Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Registration Procedures
As a member of the North Carolina Community College System, Roanoke-Chowan Community College
operates on a 16-week fall and spring semester and a short-term 8-week summer session. A two-to-three-
day registration period is held in August for fall semester classes, in January for spring semester classes, and
in May for summer term classes. Prior to the start of each fall and spring semester, an early registration
period is held. All students should register during the prescribed registration period for that semester.
Specific dates are stated in the 2020-21 Academic Calendar, posted on the college’s weB.S.ite.
Registration Sessions
Registration sessions are conducted each semester. Early registration is conducted each semester four to six
weeks prior to the start of a new semester. In addition, students can register for classes two to three days
prior to the start of each semester. Specific dates are stated in the 2020 – 21 Academic Calendar, posted in
the front of the catalog. During the designated days, students are encouraged to meet with their assigned
advisor to register for courses.
New students and those not enrolled at the College during the last two academic years should first meet
with the admissions director to update their admissions status. Once cleared for admissions, new students
may meet with an assigned advisor to develop a class schedule.
Students that participate in early registration will have their grades checked at the end of the semester to
assure prerequisites have been met for all courses. After final grades are checked and if it is determined by
the Registrar that a course prerequisite was not met, the course will be administratively dropped from the
student’s schedule before the new semester begins. Students will be properly notified of the change.
Schedule Changes (Drop/Add Period)
Students may add courses during the designated add period (first three days of each semester), which sets
a cutoff date for allowing students to enroll in courses. Students are not permitted to add courses beyond
the scheduled add period unless permission is granted by the appropriate college dean.
22
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Students are permitted to drop courses without academic penalty prior to the 60 percent point of the
semester. A grade of “W” will be issued for courses dropped after the census date to the 60 percent point.
Students who drop courses after the 60 percent point will receive a grade of “WP” or “WF”. Grades are not
issued for courses dropped during the refund period and before the census date of the class.
Withdrawing from a class may affect a student’s financial aid eligibility for future terms of enrollment. The
Financial Aid Office is required to process a Return of Title IV Funds calculation when a student is
dropped/withdrawn from all courses. Students are encouraged to consult with a financial aid officer prior to
dropping or withdrawing from courses.
It is the responsibility of the student to complete the Drop/Add Form, secure all necessary signatures, and
submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office for processing. Faculty may also drop a student when
they have exceeded the number of allowed absences. (See Attendance Policy) Drop/Add forms are available
in Student Services and online.
Schedule Purges
Students must pay for all classes by the designated payment dates, or their schedules will be purged from
the system. Please see the online Academic Calendar for registration payment dates.
Student Classification
a) Full-time: Students enrolling in 12 or more credit hours in each semester
b) Part-time: Students enrolling in less than 12 credit hours in each semester
c) Sophomores: Students who complete 30 or more credit hours with a passing grade
d) Freshmen: Students who have completed less than 30 credit hours with a passing grade
e) Special Credit: Students who register for one or more credit hours without designating a specific
curriculum
Class Schedule
Roanoke-Chowan Community College offers classes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. on
Monday through Thursday and from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
Course Load
For fall and spring semesters, the maximum student course load is 19 credit hours and 9 credit hours for
summer term. The appropriate Division Director or the Associate Dean of Instruction must approve overload
hours before the registration form can be processed.
Course Syllabi
All courses will have a syllabus, which is to be used by the instructor and students. All students will be given
a syllabus for each course on the first day of classes, regardless of the mode of delivery. Instructors are
required to provide students in the course with a syllabus that outlines the student learning outcomes,
expectations of students, methods of assessments to be used, and information regarding course content.
Students are responsible for keeping the syllabus as a guide to the course. All instructors are asked to
review the syllabus with students to emphasize essential information.
Attendance Requirements
Regular class attendance and promptness is important to good scholarship. All students are expected to
attend class on the first day scheduled for a course. Students who have not attended at least once by the
10% percent date (census date) of the class will be dropped by the instructor as never entered (NE).
23
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Regardless of the reasons for absences, instructors WILL drop students who accumulate absences totaling
15% of instructional course hours. Students dropped by an instructor prior to the last day to drop without
academic penalty (60% point) will receive a grade of “W”. Students dropped by an instructor after the 60%
point will receive a grade of “WP” or “WF”.
Students adding courses after the first day of class must report to class on the next meeting date. Students
entering a class after the first meeting date are not excused from any missed initial course requirements.
Instructors having students experiencing attendance problems and other issues that impact progress should
initiate an Early Alert through Aviso, which is submitted to the counselor. Absences from class do not relieve
students of meeting all course requirements. Those who do not meet minimum attendance requirements will
be given the grade of “WF,” which will be computed in the students’ grade- point averages as a failing
grade.
The following scale shall be used to determine when a student has exceeded the absence limit of the class.
Examples of 15% absentee limits included, but are not limited to:
Contact
Hours
Meeting
Hours/semester
Absentee
Hours Limits
1
16
2 hours
2
32
5 hours
3
48
7 hours
4
64
10 hours
5
80
12 hours
For example: In a four contact-hour course, there are four meeting times for each week times the 16 weeks
in the semester. The total class meetings will be 16 X 4=64 hours per semester. Fifteen percent of 64 is 9.6.
In this scenario, the student can miss no more than 10 hours of the total class meetings. See syllabus for the
course for each class for specific attendance requirement. Syllabi are given to students by the instructor on
the first day the class meets. Some courses/programs may have a more stringent attendance requirement.
Students who choose to participate in school-related activities must adhere to the attendance policy. The
student is responsible for work missed due to school-related activities. In such cases, instructors will,
wherever possible, work with the students involved to allow them to participate in the prearranged school
activities, provided the student is in good academic standing for the course being missed (i.e., minimum “C”
average).
School Absence for National Guard Service
A student enrolled who is a National Guard service member placed onto State active duty status during an
academic term, shall be given an excused absence for the period the student is on active duty.
a) The college shall provide the student the opportunity to make up any test or other work missed
during the excused absence.
b) The college shall give the student the option, when feasible, to continue classes and coursework
during the academic term through online participation for the period the student is placed on active
duty.
c) The shall give the student the option of receiving a temporary grade of "incomplete (IN)" or "absent
from the final exam (AB)" for any course that the student was unable to complete because of being
24
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
placed on State active duty status; however, the student must complete the course requirements
within the period specified by the college to avoid receiving a failing grade for the course.
d) Colleges shall permit the student to drop, with no penalty, any course that the student was unable to
complete because of being placed on State active-duty status.
Online Course Entry Dates and Attendance
Online course (Internet Class) entry dates are determined by the first day a student submits a course
assignment. If a student has difficulties logging on to Moodle, the course environment, he or she is required
to contact the instructor immediately. Any student who does not submit a graded course assignment by the
10% census date of the class will be dropped from the class.
Online students do not attend seated classes on campus; however, they must still maintain regular
attendance in their online course(s). Online instructors should have a clearly defined procedure to document
student’s attendance, typically following the 15% standard previously explained. Students who do not
participate in an online course for a period equal to 15% of the total class days WILL be dropped for non-
participation. In a 3-semester hour course that meets over a period of 16 weeks, 15% of total class time
would equal 2 weeks (7 total hours of class time). For classes with more contact hours and classes meeting
shorter periods of time, the 15% point would be calculated differently.
Students need to read their syllabus and be aware of the specific attendance procedure used by the
instructor. Students should be familiar with this procedure and expectations of the course. Two rules of
thumb to abide by are as follows: Students who do not show any activity—i.e., submitted assignments,
participation in discussion forums, etc.—in a course for a two-week period, whether consecutively or in total,
WILL be dropped from their online course. Students should keep in mind that, typically, late and missed
assignments equal 1 hour of absence in an online course.
Reinstatement Procedure for Attendance Drops
Regardless of the reasons for the absences, instructors will drop students who accumulate absences totaling
15% of instructional course hours. Students who wish to be reinstated in a class due to an attendance drop
must submit a Request for Reinstatement Form to the Associate Vice President of Student Services (or
designee) within one week (5 working days) of the date of the attendance drop.
The Associate Vice President/designee will investigate the evidence provided by the student, instructor, and
available records and will render a decision within one working day of the request.
Students who are absent a second time after reinstatement and/or who fail to abide by any stated
stipulation will be dropped with no further reinstatement consideration and a grade of “F” will be given. At
any time, reinstatement is denied, students may follow the student appeal process. Attendance in the class
under consideration is not allowed during this process.
Distance Education students must adhere to the attendance/contact policy stated in course syllabi.
Accommodating Absences Due to Religious Observances
Students may be excused for a maximum of two days per academic year due to personal religious
observances. Any individual exercising this privilege must inform his or her teacher(s) at least two weeks
before the absence in writing.
Students missing class assignments due to an absence related to an observance must be given an
opportunity to make-up all work missed during the time he/she was absent.
25
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Faculty are asked to provide students opportunities that are appropriate to make-up missed assignments due
to class time missed for religious observances.
Examples of opportunities that are appropriate include but are not limited to:
1. Allow for make-up assignment or exam equal to the missed activity;
2. Create a class procedure allowing all students to drop one assignment grade or exam;
3. Permit extra-credit work to substitute for missed work; and
4. Any other reasonable and appropriate opportunities as determined by the instructor.
The student must make-up the work within two weeks after the absence, or he/she will forfeit the
opportunity to make-up the time.
Withdrawing from Classes
Students who withdraw or drop all courses from the College before the 60% point of the term must
complete the appropriate form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Students receiving financial aid are
held responsible for repayment of aid. Please refer to the Return of Title IV Funds Policy. A grade of "W" will
be assigned.
All other withdraws after the 60% point will receive a grade of “WP” or “WF”. In the event a student must
withdraw beyond the 60 percent point because of extraordinary circumstances beyond the student’s control,
the student may petition the Vice President for Instruction and Student Services for a “W”. Once a grade has
been recorded, petitions will only be considered during the semester immediately after the grade was
posted. The final decision will be submitted from the Vice President for Instruction and Student Services’
Office. Students officially registered for courses may not withdraw merely by non-attendance. No drops for
any reason will be approved two weeks prior to the end of the semester.
Auditing Courses
Individuals who wish to audit courses must submit a completed admission’s application to Student Services,
follow regular registration procedures, pay required tuition and fees, and abide by all college regulations.
Only persons with a high school diploma or a high school equivalency diploma will be permitted to audit
degree-level courses and courses offered in certain diploma and certificate programs. Courses may be
audited only once, and no credit is given for audited courses.
Students who audit courses cannot change to credit, nor can students who enroll in a course for credit
change to audit after the deadline for dropping a course without penalty. A student who audits a course may
repeat the course for credit. A record of the audit will be entered on the student’s transcript as AU, which
will not be converted to a letter grade. The hours of an audited course will be counted as part of a student’s
course load and will be subject to overload restrictions. Students are expected to attend class regularly and
participate in class activities.
Credit by Exam
Students who wish to attempt to receive credit for a course by taking a proficiency exam must receive
permission from the appropriate Program Coordinator. If permission is granted, the student registers and
pays for the course. Then the student will need to plan with the course instructor to take the exam. The
exam must be taken, and a grade submitted to the Registrar during the Add Period, and only one attempt to
complete the exam successfully is allowed. A score of 80 or higher must be made on the exam to be exempt
from taking the course. A copy of the exam must be attached to the “CE” (Credit by Exam) form and
26
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
submitted to the Office of the Associate Dean of Instruction. Upon successful completion of the exam, a CE
grade will be awarded. This grade has no effect on quality points or grade-point averages.
Regular registration procedures and tuition rates apply for all courses attempted by proficiency exam.
Developmental courses are not eligible for Credit by Exam.
Transfer Credit
Curricular students are responsible for requesting official transcripts from all previously attended institutions
(secondary and post-secondary).
Transcripts for all students enrolled in a curricular program will be evaluated automatically. Transcripts of
course work completed at a college or university located outside of the United States must be accompanied
by (1) a certified English translation and (2) course descriptions if transfer credit is needed.
Courses taken at a regionally accredited institution in which a minimum grade of “C” was earned, and a
comparable course is offered at Roanoke-Chowan Community College may be accepted in transfer if
appropriate to the student’s program of study.
Substituting Courses
To substitute one course for another, students must contact the appropriate Program Coordinator. If
approved, the Program Coordinator will submit a Notification of Approval for Course Substitution Form to the
Vice President for Instruction and Student Services for final approval. Upon the Dean’s approval, the form is
forwarded to the Registrar’s Office for record-keeping purposes and graduation credit.
Course Statute of Limitations
The College has a statute of limitations for awarding credit for some curricular courses, particularly courses
in the areas of computer technology, health technology, and science. Because of rapidly changing
technology, many courses offered are significantly different from previously offered courses. Therefore,
technical computer-related courses older than five years will have to be repeated, or the student will have
to demonstrate competency in that course prior to receiving a degree, diploma, or certificate in a curriculum.
This statute applies to courses transferred from another institution, courses from R-CCC that are being
transferred from one curriculum to another, courses that a returning student has taken at R-CCC previously,
and credit earned as quarter hours that is being cross-walked to semester hour credit.
Additionally, grades may not be changed after one semester of the initial reported grade.
Credit for Prior Learning
Roanoke-Chowan Community College (R-CCC) provides its students with an opportunity to acquire
meaningful credentials and secure living-wage employment through education and training. The College
awards credit to students for noncredit coursework completed at Roanoke-Chowan Community College when
there is documentation that the noncredit coursework is equivalent to a designated credit experience.
Credit for noncredit coursework differs from credit for experiential learning. R-CCC does not award credit for
experiential learning.
The College defines Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) as knowledge, skills, and competencies that students
have gained outside of the traditional academic environment.
27
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
The following CPL methods are honored at the college.
• Challenge examinations
• Continuing education to curriculum credit
• Transfer course credit from US educational institutions
• Military education and training credit
• External exams (e.g., CLEP, AP)
High school to community college articulation agreement
Course credit is given when content mastered through an alternative educational experience is comparable
to the student learning outcomes of an R-CCC course. In awarding CPL credits, R-CCC complies with all
North Carolina Community College and SACSCOC policies and guidelines, specifically SBCCC Subchapter 800
and SACSCOC Standards 9.4, 9.7, 10.7, and 10.8.
Students may use CPL to fulfill degree, diploma, or certificate requirements, but they cannot be used for
mandatory institutional requirements. The maximum CPL credit towards graduation is seventy-five percent of
the program’s credit hours from any combination of CPL. All prior learning assessed for credit must meet the
minimum standard of “C” (70 or higher).
All prior learning assessed for credit must meet the minimum as outlined in Appendix A.
Repeating Courses
Students may not repeat courses for credit in which they have already received a grade of “C” or higher
unless required by the academic department or those that have exceeded the statute of limitations. Courses
transferred from other institutions may not be repeated for credit, but students may audit the courses. If
such courses are repeated, the original grade will be the grade of record; the “AU” (Audit) will be entered on
the permanent record. Any course repeated will be recorded on the academic transcript. Only the best grade
will be calculated in the cumulative grade-point average and the total semester hours of credit toward
graduation.
Students may repeat a course for credit in which they received a grade of “D” or “F” under the condition that
in each case credit hours will be considered hours attempted and used in computing the quality point
average.
Financial aid recipients and veterans will not receive assistance or benefits for repeating courses in which
they have received a “D” grade unless required by the academic department.
Changes to Programs of Study
Students who decide to change programs of study must schedule a conference with their faculty advisor.
Upon agreement that the change is warranted, the student will be advised to meet with the Director of
Enrollment Services in Student Services where he/she will be given the name of his/her new advisor and
advised to submit a Curriculum/Program Change Form to the Registrar. A Curriculum/Program Change Form
must be submitted to and approved by the Director of Enrollment Services and processed by either the
Registrar or Administrative Assistant or Director of Enrollment Services to deem the change official.
Changes to Student Personal Information
To maintain accurate and up-to-date student records, students must submit a Student Status Change Form
to Student Services when changes in name, address, and telephone number occur. For name changes, a
28
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
certified copy of a court order, marriage certificate, dissolution decree, or other official documentation
reflecting the new name must be attached to the change form.
Grading Information
Grade-Point Averages (GPAs)
For determining GPAs, final grades have the following values or points: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; F=0. Other
grades are not included in the GPA. The cumulative GPA is computed by multiplying the points for each
course by the semester hours for that course, then dividing by the total number of semester hours. A GPA of
2.0 for work taken at R-CCC is required for graduation. Some departments may have additional graduation
requirements.
Please note: Students taking DRE and DMA courses will earn a grade of P (for Pass) or R (for Repeat). Since
these courses are pre-curriculum level courses, meaning that they help prepare students for success in
curriculum level coursework, credit hours or quality points are not earned for grade-point average
calculations, nor are they considered as part of any program’s total hours required for graduation. The grade
earned for this course, however, is recorded on the student's permanent college transcript, which future
colleges or employers may request.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Each curricular student is expected to make satisfactory academic progress (SAP) toward obtaining a degree
or diploma. At the end of each semester, a student’s GPA for that period and his/her cumulative GPA are
examined. The minimum cumulative GPA for remaining in good standing is shown in the following scale.
Attempted Credit Hrs. GPA Diploma GPA Degree
1-15 1.50 1.50
16-27 1.65 1.65
28-39 1.80 1.80
40-53 2.00 1.95
54 & above 2.00 2.00
Academic Warning
Students who fail to maintain the minimum academic requirements will be placed on academic warning for
the next semester and notified in writing of their status by the Registrar. Students on academic warning
must consult with their advisor before registering again and can register for no more than 10 semester hours
during the warning semester or term. Approval to enroll in more than 10 semester hours is allowed based
upon extenuating circumstances and at the recommendation from the advisor. Students who registered early
for more than 10 semester hours for the next semester will need to make the necessary schedule
adjustments to meet the requirements during the academic warning period.
Students who fail to reestablish the required average during the warning semester will be placed on
academic probation the next semester.
Academic Probation
Students who fail to reestablish the required average after the warning semester will be placed on academic
29
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
probation and notified in writing of their status by the Registrar. Students on academic probation can
register for no more than six semester hours until the minimum academic requirements are achieved.
Approval to enroll in more than 6 semester hours is allowed based upon extenuating circumstances and at
the recommendation from the advisor. Students on academic probation are making unsatisfactory progress
and, therefore, are not eligible for financial aid or VA benefits.
Student status is calculated each semester for all full- and part-time students, excluding Special Credit
students.
President’s List
At the end of each semester, full-time curriculum students (12 credit hours or more) in a major maintaining
a semester GPA of 4.00 will be recognized on the President’s List. All coursework must be numbered 100
level or higher. A student with an “I - Incomplete” grade is not eligible for the President’s List in the
semester the “Incomplete” is received.
Dean’s List
At the end of each semester, full-time curriculum students (12 credit hours or more) in a major maintaining
a semester GPA between 3.25 and 3.99 with no grades less than a “B” will be recognized on the Dean’s List.
All coursework must be numbered 100 level or higher. A student with an “I - Incomplete” grade is not
eligible for the Dean’s List in the semester the “Incomplete” is received.
Grading System
A final grade is awarded at the end of each course for which a student is registered. Instructors determine
final grades by using the following system:
A Excellent 90-100
B Good 80- 89
C Average 70-79
D Poor 60-69
F Failure in performance or failure to remove an “I” grade
The following chart provide a list of the grades that students can receive and a description of each.
*I Incomplete. Students may receive an “I” at the discretion of the instructor when 80% of the course
has been completed and the final work required has not been completed because of extenuating
circumstances. An “I” must be removed by the last day of classes of the next semester, or it will
automatically become an F (see R-CCC Academic Calendar). Students cannot re-enroll in courses in which an
“I” grade is the grade of record. If the student fails to remove the “I” during the required time, the student
must re-enroll in the course IF CREDIT FOR THE COURSE IS REQUIRED.
*AU Audit. This grade is assigned to students who audit a course or who repeat a course in which a grade
of C or higher has been earned.
*W Withdrawal. A “W” is received when a student officially withdraws from a course by the 60 percent
point of the course. A “W” is assigned for administrative withdrawals resulting from disciplinary action (i.e.,
suspension, etc.).
*WP Withdrawal Passing. Student is passing course with an average of at least 60% at the time of drop.
30
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
*WF Withdrawal Failing. Student is failing course with an average of less than 60% at the time of drop.
*CE Credit by Examination. Student shows proficiency by examination. This grade is awarded for credit
hours only.
*CL College Level Examination Program (CLEP). This grade is awarded to students who have taken and
met the credit-granting score standard for CLEP.
*AP Advanced Placement. This grade is awarded to students who take the College Entrance Board’s
Advanced Placement Examination and who meet the credit-granting score standard for AP.
*MT Military Training. This grade is awarded to veteran students who may receive college credits through
DANTES, a testing program service by the Educational Testing Service.
*BL Basic Law Enforcement Training. This grade is awarded to students who have completed Basic Law
Enforcement Training. The training must be for curriculum credit and not continuing education credit.
*P Grades. A student in developmental, supplemental, or transitional courses will receive either of the below
passing grades based upon the course. They are not considered a part of the program’s total hours required
for graduation. However, the grade is recorded on the student’s permanent college transcript.
*P Passing
*P1 - Pass Tier 1 of the course
*P2 - Pass Tier 2 of the course
*P3 - Pass Tier 3 of the course (for Math only)
*R Repeat. A grade of R (repeat) will be issued for unsuccessful completion supplemental or transitional
courses. They are not considered a part of the program’s total hours required for graduation. However, the
grade is recorded on the student’s permanent college transcript.
**An “In Progress” or Re-enroll grade is given in transitions courses when progress has been made but
required objectives for the course have not been met. It is given in lieu of a D or F grade and has a neutral
effect on the student’s GPA. “IP” and “R” grades remain on the transcript.
***The “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “IP” and “R” grades are used in transitions math, transitions English and reading
courses. “P” indicates an 80% mastery of the course content. When the student’s mastery of course content
is less than 80%, the student receives an “R” grade. “R” and “IP” grades have a neutral effect on the
student’s GPA. Students receiving an “R” grade in a prerequisite course must reenroll in that course and may
not proceed to the sequential course until achieving 80% mastery of course content.
*Note: These grades do not affect a student’s GPA or quality points.
Grade Appeal
A student has the right to appeal a final course grade when he/she believes that his/her performance in a
course has been incorrectly or inappropriately evaluated by the instructor. Any such appeal should be
initiated within the first two weeks of the next semester after the grade was issued.
1. The student must go to the instructor where the alleged problem originated. An attempt will be made
31
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
to resolve the matter equitably and informally at this level. The conference must take place within 10
working days of the incident which generated the complaint. The student and instructor are
encouraged to seek resolution informally before filing an academic grievance.
2. If the complaint is not resolved at the informal conference with the instructor, the student should
meet with the faculty member’s direct supervisor within 10 working days after meeting with the
faculty person with who the grievance is filed. As part of the effort to resolve the issue, the
supervisor will consult with the accused and the faculty member.
3. If the complaint is not resolved at the informal conference with the direct supervisor, the student
may file a written grievance. The written grievance must be presented to the Associate Dean of
Instruction within 10 working days after satisfying Step 2. The Associate Dean of Instruction will refer
the written grievance to the Student Conduct and Appeals Committee.
4. The Student Conduct and Appeals Committee will convene within 10 working days upon notification
of the grievance. Following hearing procedures, the committee will decide by majority vote the
solution of the grievance and forward a recommendation and findings to the Associate Dean of
Instruction. The Associate Dean of Instruction shall respond in writing to the student within ten (10)
working days.
The ruling of the Student Conduct and Appeals Committee is typically final. If the student is still not
satisfied, the Associate Dean of Instruction shall refer the student to the College President. The
President shall hold a hearing, using as many witnesses as necessary to hear all sides of the
complaint. Following the hearing, the President shall issue a ruling or decision concerning the
problem. The ruling of the President will be final.
Make-Up Work
Instructors may establish procedures for make-up work.
Grade Changes
Any change of grade, except course repeats and incomplete grades, must be made by the instructor and
approved by the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. If changes are necessary and the
instructor is no longer available, the decision to change a grade rest with the Vice President of Instruction
and Student Services. A grade will only be changed if an error was made in computing or recording it. This
must be done within the first three weeks of the start of the next semester.
Catalog of Record
Students in continuous attendance (summer term excluded) may graduate under the provisions of the
catalog in effect on their date of entry into their current curriculum. Changes may be made in catalog
requirements between the time students enter a curriculum and the time they are ready to finish. Students
graduate under the catalog in effect at the time they originally enrolled. However, if the necessary courses
are not available, students will graduate under the catalog in effect at the time of their anticipated
graduation. The catalog of record for a student who does a change of program is the catalog in effect at the
time the change of program becomes effective.
Graduation
Upon the recommendation of the faculty and the approval of the Board of Trustees, appropriate degrees,
diplomas, or certificates will be awarded to students successfully completing the requirements of the
curriculum in which they are enrolled.
To graduate, students must:
32
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
1. Successfully complete all courses and credit hours required by their program as contained in this
catalog. Transfer students must complete at least 25 percent of the required semester hours of
credit at R-CCC to be eligible to receive a degree, diploma, or certificate.
2. Earned a minimum GPA of 2.0 (“C” average) for work in the required courses of the curriculum
for which they are applying for graduation.
3. Apply for graduation. Prior to registering for their final semester at the College, curricular
students must complete an Application for Graduation form, which is available in the Registrar’s
Office; secure their advisor’s signature as verification of graduation candidacy; and return the
form to the Registrar for certification and verification of GPA, credit hours, and required courses.
4. Clear all financial obligations to the College. Students having an outstanding debt to the College,
including charges, fees, fines, defaulted payments, or student aid overpayments, will not be
allowed to graduate or receive their graduation award until all debts are cleared.
Students are responsible for knowing and meeting graduation requirements. Although a faculty advisor is
assigned to each student to advise in planning class schedules each semester, the final responsibility for
meeting all graduation requirements rests with students.
Awards are issued only once a year at the May graduation ceremony. Students completing graduation
requirements for degrees, diplomas, and certificates at points throughout the academic year must wait until
the graduation ceremony following their completion to receive their award. Students receiving more than 1
award will receive recognition of all degrees, diplomas, and/or certificates earned on the printed graduation
program; however, only the highest degree will be announced during the ceremony.
By March 1 of each year, prospective graduates will receive notification regarding all pertinent information
relative to commencement. All prospective graduates are required to pay a $50.00 graduation fee. Those
who do not wish to participate in the commencement ceremony are still required to pay the graduation fee.
The graduation fee includes the printing of the actual award, diploma jacket and other expenses associated
with the graduation exercises. The graduation attire and other accessories are made available for purchase
through an outside vendor.
Honor Graduates
There are two levels of distinctions--High Honors and Honors. To be considered a High Honor graduate, the
student must have an overall program GPA of 4.00 upon completion of any degree or diploma program. To
be considered an Honor graduate, the student must have an overall program GPA of 3.75 to 3.99 upon
completion of any degree or diploma program.
Students must complete 50 percent of their course work at R-CCC. The graduating student with the highest
GPA in a degree program may be asked to give welcoming remarks during the graduation ceremony. If the
highest GPA is shared by several students, the remarks will be delivered by the SGA president or vice
president.
Attendance after Graduation
Student wishing to re-enroll after graduation must complete a change of program form to establish a new
program of study.
Transfer to Other Institutions
Courses successfully completed at R-CCC with a grade of C or better may be transferred to any other college
33
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
in the North Carolina Community College System. The transfer credit, however, does not guarantee
admission into a specific program within an institution.
To facilitate transferability to the University of North Carolina System, the Comprehensive Articulation
Agreement (CAA) was developed between the UNC System and the North Carolina Community College
System for transfer between the two systems. Many private colleges and universities also have adopted the
CAA. Students who complete the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degrees may be able to transfer
with junior status.
The CAA does not address admission to an institution nor to a specific major within an institution. For
detailed information, contact the College Transfer Division Director.
Verification of Enrollment
Student may request verification of their enrollment at the College through the Registrar’s Office. Verification
requests for the current semester will not be processed until after the census date for the semester.
Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L.93-380, S513) signed by the President of the
United States became law as of November 9, 1974. Included in this law are requirements related to the
privacy of student files and records.
The law specifically states that no institution of higher education shall prevent its students from inspecting
and reviewing “all official records, files, and data including all material that is incorporated into each
student’s cumulative folder.”
Although that act specifically refers to the access rights of parents, it provides that “whenever a student has
attained 18 years of age or is attending an institution of postsecondary education, the permission or consent
required of, and the rights accorded to the parents of the students shall thereafter only be required of and
accorded to the student.”
The only individuals or agencies authorized to see a student’s record, other than the student, without the
student’s written consent, are school officials with “legitimate” educational interests, officials of other schools
in which the student “intends to enroll,” and certain government representatives. Students interested in
reviewing their files must see the Registrar or Information Processing Specialist.
The College may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address,
telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, if a
student does not wish for the College to disclose directory information about himself/herself, the student
should notify the Registrar in writing at the start of any semester while enrolled at the college.
An amendment to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the Campus Sex Crimes
Prevention Act (P.L. 106-386) requires all institutions of higher education to advise their campus community
of where information concerning registered sex offenders in North Carolina can be obtained. In accordance
with this amendment, the following Web address contains registered sex offender’s information for NC:
http://sbi.jus.state.nc.us/DOJHAHT/SOR/Default.htm
Student-Right-To-Know
In accordance with the US Department of Education’s Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act of
1999, the College makes available to prospective and enrolled students the completion or graduation rate of
34
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
students in their program. Individuals interested in reviewing the completion or graduation rate information
must request this information from the Registrar.
Tuition, Fees, and other Expenses for Curriculum Students
Tuition is set by the State Board of Community Colleges at rates approved by the North Carolina General
Assembly and is subject to change without notice. Student fees are set by the College Board of Trustees and
are subject to change as well. “R-CCC charges no student fees solely associated with Distance Learning
courses.”
Textbooks, fees, and supplies are additional expenses that vary according to the program of study. The
payment of all tuition and fees is required at the time of registration. Any student who does not pay tuition
and fees will have his/her schedule purged from all classes. Students may not attend class until tuition is
paid in full.
Students receiving financial aid, sponsorship assistance, and/or participating in e-Cashier must confirm that
the College has enough payment documentation required to be officially registered for class.

Grant (SEOG). Title IV Federal Financial Aid students who withdraw or stop attending the College will have
their financial aid recalculated according to the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, 34 CFR part 668.22.
Some grant recipients may owe a repayment to both the College and the Federal government because of
this recalculation. Students will be notified if repayment is due.
Withdrawal from Course(s)
Students who receive financial aid from any of the Title IV Federal Programs (as listed above) may be
responsible for repaying a portion of their aid if they withdraw, drop, or stop attending classes during the
refund period.
Withdrawal from classes may also affect eligibility for financial aid for the following semester or academic

Payment Plans/Options
The College provides students with the following payment options to cover tuition, fees, books, and supplies
to those who qualify:
• Financial Aid and Scholarships
Refer to the Financial Aid section of this catalog or contact the Financial Aid Office for information.
• Third Party/Sponsorship Agreements
A student’s tuition, fees, and/or books may be covered through an agreement with an employer,
Veteran’s Affairs, and other agencies and/or companies. The sponsorship agreement must state the
amount of tuition, fees, books, and/or supplies covered and received by the Business Office before
classes begin for the academic semester. Sponsored students must complete a Third-Party Billing
Agreement each semester, at the Business Office, to ensure that charges are properly deducted from
their sponsorship. All questions or concerns can be directed to the Business Office located in the
Jernigan Building, Room 102 (252-862- 1229).
• Student Payment Plan
For $25 per semester, students may set up an interest-free monthly payment plan to cover the cost of their
tuition and fees. This plan is sponsored by Nelnet Business Solutions (Nelnet Payment Plan). Books may not
be included in this payment plan and must be purchased by other means. Payment drafts that are not
allowed due to insufficient funds or account numbers that do not exist will be charged a nonrefundable fee
of $30 for each occurrence by Nelnet. Additional information is provided about Nelnet Payment Plan at
www.MyCollegePaymentPlan.com/roanoke or by contacting the Business Office Cashier at 252-862-1214.
Availability of Nelnet Payment Plan is determined by Roanoke-Chowan Community College. Please be aware
that the College may elect not to have e-Cashier available during specific times and dates during
registration. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm with the Business Office that his/her account has
been set up properly and will cover all tuition and fees for the semester to ensure that his/her schedule does
38
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
not get purged from the system. It is also the student’s responsibility to notify the Business Office of any
changes made to his/her schedule or financial aid that has been awarded after the payment plan was set up
to ensure that their payment plan is adjusted accordingly. Students will be responsible to pay any discount
fees that are associated with their Nelnet Business Solutions (e-Cashier) account.
**NOTE: Financial aid is not considered earned until the Financial Aid office verifies attendance and requests
for awards to be applied to student accounts. Students with financial aid should understand that aid will not
be applied to their account until the disbursement date published on the college calendar; therefore, any
payments they have contracted with Nelnet Business Solution to draft from their account will continue and
be posted on schedule.
Once financial aid is applied to their account, then the balance that Nelnet reflects will be adjusted. Financial
aid recipients should not assume their balance will automatically be adjusted if they add or drop a class or if
they receive financial aid. They should review their agreement balance online through their Nelnet Payment
Plan Account or call the Roanoke-Chowan Community College Business Office at 252-862-1214 to confirm
the change. Once e-Cashier has been turned off for a semester, a student cannot make changes; however,
in some cases the Business Office can adjust the account if given permission in writing by the student.
Financial Aid
The primary purpose of R-CCC’s financial aid program is to ensure that qualified students are not denied an
opportunity to pursue a college education because of economic disadvantages. Our student-focused staff are
empowered to help students and their families seek, obtain, and make the best use of all financial resources
available. Grants, scholarships, and a federal work-study program are available to help eligible students
cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and other related expenses.
Students interested in applying for financial assistance must complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). The form must be submitted in one of the following ways:
Students may complete the online application at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
Students may contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center toll-free at 1-800-433-3243.
Students wishing to receive financial aid must reapply each year; renewal is not automatic. They should
complete the application as soon as possible starting October 1. To be considered for financial aid, applicants
must be enrolled in an eligible curriculum leading to a degree, diploma, or certain certificates; students must
have a high school diploma or GED in which the transcript has been received by R-CCC’s Admissions Office,
students must be meeting and maintaining satisfactory academic progress, and a student must not owe a
repayment on a grant or be in default on an educational loan, in addition to any other criteria set by the US
Department of Education.
Priority Dates
To provide adequate time for processing and awarding financial aid prior to the start of classes, priority
dates are identified for each semester.
Fall Semester – July 15

Employment Security Commission/NC Works Guidelines, are economically disadvantaged. Detailed
information can be obtained from the local Employment Security Commission Office.
Eligibility Requirements
Financial aid is awarded primarily based on need. In addition, financial assistance depends on the availability
of funds. To be considered for financial aid, applicants must meet the following criteria:
• Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible program at Roanoke-Chowan Community
College.
• Be a citizen or an eligible non-citizen of the United States with a valid Social Security Number.
• Be an undergraduate student who has not previously received a bachelor’s degree.

Debts
Students having an outstanding debt to R-CCC will not be allowed to register, graduate, receive a diploma or
certificate, or receive or have an academic transcript forwarded until all debts have been cleared.
Students in default of federal student loans or repayment of grants at any college cannot be awarded federal
financial aid until repaid or satisfactory repayment arrangements have been made.
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980, mandates that higher education
institutions establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress for students receiving financial
aid. R-CCC makes these standards applicable to all Title IV aid. These standards are evaluated at the
beginning of each academic year or period of re-enrollment, after each semester for diploma programs, and
at the end of each semester in which a student was on academic warning. To receive Title IV financial aid
funds, students must meet the following criteria:
Successful completion of a minimum percentage of attempted coursework. Students must pass 67% of the
courses for which they register including developmental courses.
Maximum time frame in which a student must complete his/her program of study is 150% of the published
length of the program (as required by federal regulations). All courses attempted are included in this
calculation. This includes transfer hours, courses taken in a different program of study, and courses taken in
which no financial aid was received.
Grade-Point Average (GPA) must be at least 2.0 (cumulative) to be eligible for or to continue to receive
financial aid.
42
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Students may attempt up to 30 credit hours of developmental coursework. Students needing to enroll in
developmental courses beyond 30 credit hours will not receive any financial assistance.
Financial Aid Warning and Probation
Students who fall below the minimum cumulative grade-point average requirement and/or do not complete
the required number of credit hours during any semester will be placed on financial aid warning for the next
semester. Students will be allowed one semester of warning. Students who are on financial aid warning and
who fail to meet the minimum requirements after the semester of warning will be placed on financial aid
probation. Students on probation are not eligible for financial aid. Students may appeal probation by
completing an Appeal for Financial Aid Application in the Financial Aid Office.
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
The U.S. Department of Education requires each Financial Aid Office to calculate a Return of Title IV Funds
for any student who withdraws completely or who does not otherwise complete the term of enrollment in
which the student received federal financial aid. If a student receiving financial aid withdrawals from the
College after beginning attendance, the amount of federal financial aid assistance earned by the student
must be determined. The student’s last day of attendance at the College is used to determine the
percentage of Title IV earned. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount earned,
the unearned funds must be returned. Generally, when a student owes a Return of Title IV, the school, and
the student both have a responsibility to return funds. The student will receive a letter from the Financial Aid
Office stating the amounts he/she owes to both the US Department of Education and the amount he/she
would then owe the College. Payments can be accepted for the US Department of Education for 45 days at
the College. After that time, it would be referred through the National Student Loan Data System as an
overpayment. If the amount due to the College has not been paid within 90 days, it will be reported to the
North Carolina’s Department of Revenue for collections.
Financial Aid Reinstatement
When financial aid is terminated, it may be reinstated through the appeals process or by personally paying
education costs and meeting satisfactory progress requirements. Upon meeting the satisfactory progress, aid
will be reinstated the subsequent semester. Retroactive payments of financial aid are prohibited for
semesters in which unsatisfactory progress was made.
Appeal of Financial Aid Termination
Students given notice of financial aid termination are entitled to procedural due process and may appeal the
decision. Students may appeal their termination of eligibility for financial aid only for “extraordinary
circumstances.” Satisfactory academic progress appeal request forms are available in the Financial Aid
Office. All forms must be completed and accompanied by appropriate documentation. All satisfactory
academic appeal requests will be reviewed by the SAP Appeal Committee.
In all cases, termination of financial aid will remain in effect throughout the appeal process.
Financial Aid Standards
Roanoke-Chowan Community College’s Forgiveness Policy does not apply for financial aid purposes.
43
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Financial aid (Title IV) will be limited to 30 credit hours of developmental courses.
No Title IV aid will be awarded for AU (audit) grades or CE (credit by proficiency exam) or NE (never
attended). AU grades will not be calculated in measuring satisfactory academic progress.
Payments are based on the number of credit hours for which the student is enrolled as of the census date of
the term and for which attendance can be verified at the time of payment.
Students must register for every course they plan to take during early registration and/or the regular
registration period at the beginning of each semester regardless of when the course begins.
Students, who charge books and/or supplies and do not attend classes, must repay those charges.
Students may only use courses that count towards their degree to determine enrollment status.
Cosmetology and Barbering Programs must be calculated using clock hour conversions. This is a formula
provided by the US Department of Education, and it could result in a change to your award amount.
Financial assistance is awarded for an academic year (fall, spring, and summer). Students should plan their
finances accordingly.
For federal financial aid purposes, full-time students are defined as those students who are enrolled in
courses required for their major for 12 or more credit hours each semester; three-quarter time students are
those enrolled for 9 to 11 credit hours each semester; half-time students are those enrolled for 6 to 8 credit
hours each semester; and less than half-time students are those enrolled for 1 to 5 credit hours.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the Admissions Office has the correct mailing address. This is
the address the financial aid refund check would be mailed to.
Service Members Opportunity Colleges
The College is designated as an institutional member of Service Members Opportunity Colleges (SOC), a
group of more than 400 colleges and universities providing voluntary postsecondary education to members
of the military throughout the world. As an SOC member, R-CCC recognizes the unique nature of the military
lifestyle. The College is committed to easing the transfer of relevant course credits, providing flexible
academic residency requirements, and crediting learning from appropriate military training and experiences.
Veterans Assistance
The Veterans Administration (VA) sponsors the following educational assistance programs for qualifying
veterans and other eligible persons: Chapter 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, and 1606. College programs are approved
by the NC State Approval Agency for educating and training veterans, dependents of deceased or disabled
veterans, and members of the Selected Reserve under Title 38 of the US Code.
Incoming veterans must meet with the college’s VA Certifying Official to apply for VA benefits. Students
receiving benefits must maintain satisfactory attendance and satisfactory academic progress. Students must
be enrolled in an eligible curriculum leading to a degree or diploma, have a high school diploma or a high
school equivalency diploma in which the transcript has been received by R-CCC’s admissions office, meet
and maintain satisfactory academic progress, in addition to any other criteria set by the US Department of
Veterans Affairs. Any course within the designated curriculum undertaken by students and carried after the
44
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
formal drop/add period is included when determining student status. Benefits will not be received for
courses previously passed or for taking courses not approved as part of the curriculum.
If placed on academic warning, students will have the next semester to raise their GPA up to the
requirement. If a student does not meet the minimum cumulative GPA at the end of the warning semester,
the certification to the VA will be terminated and benefits will stop. Students who fail to maintain the
required GPA will be placed on academic probation. Students on probation are not eligible for VA benefits.
The minimum cumulative GPA as outlined under the guidelines for academic satisfactory progress must be
maintained. However, once the GPA returns to good standing, benefits can restart.
Please notify the VA Certifying Official to restart benefits. Specific details regarding other VA requirements
can be obtained from the college’s VA Certifying Official. Visit the Student Services office.
Academic and Support Services
Academic Advising
To assist students in their academic programs, the College has established an advising plan where every
student is assigned a faculty advisor by the Office of Student Services. Each semester, the advisor helps plan
the student’s course schedule, keeps a record of progress, and is available for additional counseling.
Advisors, as well as counselors, make every effort to provide guidance to students. However, the final
responsibility for meeting all academic requirements rests with the student.
The faculty advisor system is designed to contribute to the students’ educational progress. Students who
have declared curricula are assigned a faculty advisor. Students may know their advisors not as instructors,
but also as one from whom they may receive assistance in program planning, scheduling, and registration.
The objective of the faculty advisors are as follows:
1. To have a conference with each new advisee as soon as possible to get acquainted.
2. To be alert to student problems to assist the student in both academic and personal matters.
(Problems which the advisor feels unqualified to handle should be referred to the Behavioral
Assessment Team)
3. To assist the individual student in planning an academic schedule to meet course prerequisites and
curriculum requirements. To assist the student in completing the program tracking sheet.
4. To maintain an academic progress file on each advisee. (This file should include grade reports, a
graduation information sheet, and a program tracking sheet.)
5. To post office hours, showing when available for consultation with students.
6. To serve, upon request of the student, as the student’s representative in conferences where
decisions affecting status are made.
Career Services (NC Works)
NC Works Career Center provides students and the public with user-friendly services and information
regarding employment and training on the main campus. The Center offers job placement, résumé writing,
interview preparation, and a variety of career-related assessments and workshops and counseling to help

general education courses such as art, English, history, literature, math, music, psychology, and sociology as
well as studies in business, information technology, criminal justice, education, medical and office systems,
and other fields.
The North Carolina Community College System has provided definitions and codes for various types of
distance learning classes:

delivered face-to-face with the instructor and student not separated by distance. This is true even
when some instructional activities are conducted using web-based technology.
● Online/Internet – College curriculum or continuing education course in which 100% of the instruction
is delivered through the Internet/online. Courses may have proctored testing, but instruction is
delivered online.

All courses at R-CCC, including traditional, online, and hybrid classes, use the Moodle environment. Online
classes use Moodle as their primary instructional environment. Class discussions, tests, and other activities
are completed online. Hybrid classes use both Moodle and on-campus sessions for instruction. In traditional
classes, Moodle is used to share resources to enhance on-campus instruction, and instructors must use the
Moodle grade book and provide access to the course syllabus.
The College's communication system is Google Mail (Gmail). All students and faculty have Gmail accounts as
well as access to other Google resources.
Once new students have registered for classes, they are expected to complete the online Student Orientation
to Moodle course. On-campus orientation sessions are also available each semester if they prefer a face-to-
face session. Students should check the front page of Moodle at https://roanokechowan.mrooms.net/ and their
Gmail accounts for dates and times of on-campus orientations.

Student Right, Responsibilities, and Appeals
General Purpose
Roanoke-Chowan Community College strives to create an academic community conducive to the
development of each student by fostering an educational process committed to excellence and equity.
College students are citizens of the local, state, and national governments and of the academic community

Admission to the College carries with it special privileges and imparts special responsibilities apart from those
rights and duties enjoyed by nonstudents. Students are expected to behave in a manner that is conducive to
the mission of the College. In recognition of the special relationship that exists between the College and the
academic community, Roanoke-Chowan Community College Board of Trustees has authorized the President
to take such action that may be necessary to maintain campus safety and preserve the integrity of the

more courses at R-CCC, either for credit or non-credit. Students may be accountable to both civil authorities
and to the College for acts that constitute violations of law and this Code. Disciplinary action at the College
will be independent and proceed during the process of criminal proceedings and will not be subject to
challenge because criminal charges involving the same incident have been dismissed or reduced. R-CCC has
the discretion to proceed with disciplinary action under this Code in addition to any criminal or civil judicial
proceedings.

safety, and well-being of the college community. R-CCC students are expected to abide by local, state, and
federal laws as well as college policies.

engage in prohibited behaviors that result in disruption of a class or college-sponsored activity may be
directed by the faculty member to leave the class or activity for the remainder of the period. Actions of
dismissal should be reported to the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. Longer suspensions
from a class or activity, or dismissal on disciplinary grounds, require action by the Vice President of
Instruction and Student Services or designee.

Sexual Harassment
Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, no education program or activity receiving federal
financial assistance may exclude, deny benefits to, or discriminate against any person based on sex (20
U.S.C. sec. 1681.a). The purpose of the statute is to prevent “discriminatory practice” in education and “to
provide… effective protection against those practices.”
Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination that may violate state and federal laws. Roanoke-Chowan
Community College is committed to providing an environment for all students that is free from offensive or
degrading conduct or remarks. In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission adapted guidelines
to help define sexual harassment in the academic setting. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
1. Submission to such conduct is made an expressed or implied term or condition of employment or
status in a class, program, or activity.
2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used to make employment or
educational decisions (such as hiring, promotion, or grading in a course).
3. Such conduct has the effect of interfering with an individual’s work or educational performance or
creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for working or learning.
If a student feels that he or she is being sexually harassed by another person, he or she should the Title IX
Coordinator, immediately. Sexually harassing behavior can be intimidating, exploitive, or coercive and
diminishes the goals of the College to provide a healthy living, learning, and working environment. Students
found guilty of sexually harassing another person will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including
dismissal from the college.
When a report is made, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator will conduct an Initial Assessment. The
assessment will determine whether the alleged conduct would present a potential violation of the Policy and
whether further action is warranted based on the alleged conduct.
The first step of the Initial Assessment will usually be a preliminary meeting between the Reporting Party
62
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
and the Coordinator or designee. In some circumstances, when appropriate, an investigator will meet with
the Reporting Party and gather information necessary to assist the Coordinator. The Coordinator
will first:
➢ Address any immediate concerns about the physical safety and emotional well-being of the parties;
➢ Provide the Reporting Party with information about:
On and off campus resources,
The available range of Interim Measures, and
The procedural options, including Voluntary Resolution and Investigation;
➢ Notify the Reporting Party of the availability of medical services to address any physical and mental
health concerns and to preserve evidence;
➢ If the alleged conduct is criminal in nature, notify the Reporting Party of the option to make a report
to law enforcement and to be assisted in doing so, as well as the option to decline to report to law
enforcement;
➢ Discuss the Reporting Party’s expressed preference for manner of resolution and any barriers to
proceeding;
➢ Explain the College’s policy prohibiting Retaliation; and
➢ Explain the role of the Support Person, Attorney and Non-Attorney Advocate.
The Coordinator or investigator will also gather facts that will enable them, in consultation with other offices
as appropriate, to:
➢ Assess the nature and circumstances of the allegation;
➢ Conduct an assessment for potential pattern evidence or other similar conduct;
➢ Assess the reported conduct for the need to issue a timely warning under federal law; and
➢ Enter non-identifying information about the report into the College’s daily crime log if the conduct is
potentially criminal in nature.
In the event the Responding Party is notified of the allegations during the Initial Assessment, the
Coordinator, or designee, will provide the Responding Party with information about on
and off campus resources, the available range of Interim Measures, an explanation of the procedural
options, including Voluntary Resolution and Investigation; and the Policy’s prohibition on Retaliation.
Where a Reporting Party requests that their name or other identifiable information not be shared with
the Responding Party or that no formal action be taken, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator will balance this
request against the following factors in reaching a determination regarding whether the request can be
honored:
• whether the alleged conduct would present a potential violation of the Policy;
• the nature and scope of the alleged conduct, including whether the reported misconduct involves
allegations of additional violence and/or the use of a weapon;
• the respective ages and roles of the Reporting and Responding Parties;
• the power dynamics of the involved parties;
• considerations of fundamental fairness and due process with respect to the Responding Party
should the course of action include disciplinary action against the Responding Party;
63
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
• the risk posed to any individual or to the campus community by not proceeding, including the risk
of additional violence;
• the risk of retaliation against the Reporting Party, witnesses, or other related individuals;
• whether there have been other reports of such misconduct by the Responding Party;
• whether the report reveals a pattern of such misconduct at a given location, by a particular group
or individual, or through a particular means or method;
• the Reporting Party’s wish to pursue disciplinary action;
• whether the College possesses other means to obtain relevant evidence; and
• the College’s obligation to provide a safe, non-discriminatory, and non-retaliatory environment.
Where possible based on the facts and circumstances, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator will seek action
consistent with the Reporting Party’s expressed preference for manner of resolution; however, in some
circumstances, after considering the factors above, the College may determine that it must move forward to
investigate reports in which there appears to be a threat to an individual or to the College as a whole. The
College’s ability to fully investigate and respond to a report may be limited or impossible if the Reporting
Party requests that their name not be disclosed to the Responding Party or declines to participate in an
Investigation.
At the conclusion of the Initial Assessment, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator will determine the
appropriate resolution route. Resolution may include:
1) the initiation of an Investigation that may lead to Adjudication and disciplinary action,
2) Voluntary Resolution, or
3) no further action.
Regardless of the manner of resolution, a Responding Party may choose to accept responsibility at any
stage in the process.
The Title IX Coordinator has sole authority to conduct investigations and oversee resolutions for reports of
Prohibited Conduct under the Policy. Any administrator, supervisor, or other individual who is a designated
Responsible Employee who receives a report, either directly or indirectly, of alleged Prohibited Conduct
under the Policy, must notify the Compliance Office immediately. An administrator, supervisor, or other
individual must not attempt to resolve the report or address the matter without consultation with and
assessment by the Title IX Compliance Coordinator. If the report includes allegations that could potentially
violate other College policies, the Title IX Coordinator will coordinate with appropriate units to maximize
efficiency, minimize disruption, and impart a prompt and appropriate resolution by the College.
Voluntary Resolution
When a Reporting Party does not want to move forward with a formal Investigation, Voluntary Resolution
may be an option. Voluntary Resolution does not involve an Investigation or disciplinary action against a
Responding Party and is not appropriate for all forms of conduct under the Policy.
The College retains the discretion to determine when Voluntary Resolution is appropriate. If a party
requests Voluntary Resolution, the Title IX Compliance Coordinator will consider the same factors they
consider in determining whether they can keep the Reporting Party’s name from the Responding Party, as
outlined above.
64
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Informal Resolution
There are two types of information resolutions:
1) resolutions that focus on supporting the Reporting Party with no participation or involvement by the
Responding Party, and
2) resolutions that involve a facilitated agreement with the Responding Party.
In resolutions that focus on supporting the Reporting Party and do not affect the Responding Party, it
may be possible for a Reporting Party to maintain anonymity. Such resolutions may include:
• establishing Interim Measures that may become permanent, such as changes to work or class
schedules or locations;
• conducting targeted or broad-based educational programming or training for relevant
groups; and
• providing increased monitoring, supervision, or security at locations or activities where the
alleged misconduct occurred.
In resolutions that involve a facilitated agreement with the Responding Party, both parties must agree
to participate in an Informal Resolution. Such resolutions may include:
• facilitating a meeting with the Responding Party with the Reporting Party present (only when
deemed appropriate);
• facilitating a private discussion with the Responding Party about the allegations and
discussing solutions for eliminating the alleged behavior and remedying its effects;
• mutually agreed upon parameters of interaction between the parties, including
agreements for no contact, and/or time or place restrictions to limit interaction; and
• any other remedy that can be tailored to the involved individuals to promote an inclusive
and non-discriminatory environment.
The College will not compel either party to participate in any particular form of Informal Resolution.
Participation in Voluntary Resolution is voluntary, and either party may end this manner of resolution
and pursue an Investigation and Adjudication at any time, including when pursuit of Voluntary Resolution is
unsuccessful at resolving the report. Similarly, either party may request to end an Investigation and pursue
Voluntary Resolution at any time. In addition, either party may request Interim Measures regardless of
whether any particular course of action is sought.
As stated above, Voluntary Resolution does not result in discipline and is not a disciplinary action. The
Compliance Officer will maintain records of all reports and conduct addressed through Voluntary Resolution
to fairly and consistently assess pattern or systemic behavior.
The time frame for completion of Voluntary Resolution may vary depending on the complexity of the
matter, but the College will seek to complete the process within thirty (30) business days of the
Compliance Office’s determination that Voluntary Resolution is appropriate.
Investigation
Following the Initial Assessment, and in consultation with the Reporting Party, the College will initiate
a prompt, thorough, and impartial Investigation of conduct that is a potential violation of the Policy
and is not being addressed through Voluntary Resolution. The Title IX Compliance Coordinator will oversee
65
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
the Investigation. The Investigation is designed to provide a fair and reliable gathering of the facts by a
trained and impartial investigator.
All individuals, including the Reporting Party, the Responding Party, and any third-party witnesses, will
be treated with appropriate sensitivity and respect throughout the Investigation. The Investigation will
safeguard the privacy of the individuals involved in a manner consistent with federal law and
College policy.
Investigators
The Title IX Compliance Coordinator will assign investigator(s) who have training and experience
investigating allegations of Prohibited Conduct. The investigator will gather information regarding the alleged
conduct. The investigator will then determine if the information gathered establishes that the alleged
conduct occurred by a preponderance of the evidence and, if so, whether the conduct constitutes a violation
of the Policy.
A preponderance of the evidence means that it is more likely than not that the conduct occurred.
Notice
The Title IX Coordinator will send the Reporting Party and the Responding Party a written Notice of
Investigation, which constitutes the formal charge. This Notice will generally be issued within five (5)
business days of receipt of confirmation from the Reporting Party of the intent to proceed with an
Investigation and/or sufficient information for the College to determine that the report raises a potential
issue under Policy.
The Notice of Investigation will contain a summary of the allegations or conduct at issue, the range of
potential violations under the Policy, the range of potential sanctions, and information about the Policy’s
prohibition on Retaliation. Where appropriate, the Notice of Investigation will also contain notification that
expulsion is a potential sanction and that expulsion precludes matriculation at the College. Upon receipt of
the Notice of Investigation, or at any stage in the process, the Responding Party may choose to accept
responsibility for the Policy violation.
To the extent permissible and consistent with FERPA and other state and federal law, the parties
will receive equitable written, concurrent notice of the completion and/or outcome of all stages of
the resolution process, including but not limited to the Investigation, adjudication, and appeal
phases.
Time Frame
Consistent with the goal to provide an inclusive and safe educational and work environment, the
Title IX Compliance Coordinator will seek to resolve all reports within one academic semester, depending on
when the report is received and will use best efforts to complete an Investigation within sixty (60) business
days from the issuance of the Notice of Investigation to the Reporting Party and Responding Party. Business
days do not include weekends or College holidays. The time frame for completion of the Investigation,
adjudication, or any designated time frames for required actions under the Policy, may be extended for good
cause as necessary to ensure the integrity and completeness of the Investigation, to comply with a request
by external law enforcement; to accommodate the availability of witnesses; to accommodate legitimate and
reasonable delays by the parties; to account for College breaks or vacations; or for other legitimate reasons,
66
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
including the complexity of the Investigation, as evidenced by, for example, the number of witnesses and
the volume of information provided by the parties. Should the Investigation begin at a time when the sixty
(60) day period will extend into official College holidays or academic breaks, the investigator will attempt to
proceed as scheduled, but if the Investigation cannot proceed due to aB.S.ences of the parties or material
witnesses, the investigation may be stayed until the individuals are available. Any extension of the
timeframes, and the reason for the extension, will be shared with the parties in writing.
Resources
Throughout the process, any participant may have a Support Person and one other person, an Attorney or
Non-Attorney Advocate, present at any meeting related to resolution of a report under the Policy. Attorneys
are at the expense of the Reporting and/or Responding Party.
Intersection with Law
When the College is made aware that there is a concurrent criminal investigation, the Compliance Officer will
coordinate with law enforcement to prevent any College processes from interfering with the integrity or the
timing of the law enforcement investigation. At the request of law enforcement, the College may agree to
defer the fact-finding portion of its Investigation until after the initial stages of a criminal investigation. The
Title IX Compliance Coordinator will nevertheless communicate with the parties regarding resources and
accommodations, procedural options, anticipated timing, and the implementation of any necessary Interim
Measures for the safety and wellbeing of all affected individuals. The investigator(s) will promptly resume
fact-gathering as soon as law enforcement has released the case for review following the initial criminal
investigation.
Evidence Collection
Evidence Collection During the Investigation, the Reporting Party and Responding Party will have an equal
opportunity to be heard, to submit information, and to identify witnesses who may have relevant
information. The investigator(s) will seek to speak separately with the Reporting Party, the Responding
Party, and any other individuals who have information relevant to the determination of responsibility for a
Policy violation. As part of the Investigation, the investigator(s) may gather or receive information that is
relevant to the determination of an appropriate sanction or remedy, including information about the impact
of the alleged incident on parties. The investigator(s) will also gather any available physical or documentary
evidence that is relevant to the determination of responsibility under the Policy, including prior statements by
the parties or witnesses, any communications between the parties, email messages, social media materials,
text messages, and other records as appropriate and available.
All community members, including students, faculty, and other College employees, are expected to
cooperate with the Compliance Officer in the Investigation, as well as the Adjudication, of any report to
assure fairness and procedural due process. The Compliance Officer will request the appearance of persons
from the College community who can provide relevant evidence. Both a Reporting Party and a Responding
Party may decline to participate in proceedings under the Policy. In this circumstance, the Title IX
Compliance Coordinator will determine whether the Investigation and Hearing will proceed without the
Reporting Party.
67
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Relevance and Special Considerations
The investigator(s) has the discretion to determine the relevance of any evidence to the finding of
responsibility and may exclude information in preparing the investigation report if the information is
irrelevant, immaterial, or more prejudicial than informative. The investigator(s) may also exclude statements
of personal opinion by witnesses and statements as to general reputation for any character trait, including
honesty. The investigator(s) will not exclude direct oB.S.ervations or reasonable inferences drawn from the
facts.
Character Evidence
Character evidence is information that does not directly relate to the facts at issue, but instead, reflects upon
the reputation, personality, qualities, or habits of an individual. In general, information regarding the
character of the Reporting Party, the Responding Party, or any witness is not relevant to the determination
of whether there is a Policy violation.
Prior Sexual History and/or Pattern Evidence
A party’s character or reputation with respect to other sexual activity is not relevant and will not be
considered as evidence. Similarly, a party’s prior or suB.S.equent sexual activity is typically not relevant and
will only be considered as evidence under limited circumstances.
Pattern Evidence
Evidence of an occurrence or occurrences of sexual or other relevant behavior so distinctive and so closely
resembling either party’s version of the alleged encounter as to tend to prove a material fact, including
whether consent was sought or given, may be admissible. Where there is evidence of a pattern of similar
conduct, either before or after the conduct in question and regardless of whether there has been a prior
finding of a Policy violation by the Responding Party, this information may be deemed relevant to the
determination of a Policy violation or assignment of a sanction. The determination of relevance will be based
on an assessment of whether the previous or suB.S.equent incident was suB.S.tantially similar to the
conduct cited in the report or indicates a pattern of behavior and suB.S.tantial conformity with that pattern.
Where there is a prior finding of a Policy violation by the Responding Party for a similar act of Prohibited
Conduct, there is a presumption of relevance, and the finding may be considered in making a determination
as to responsibility and assignment of a sanction.
Prior Sexual History between the Parties
Where there was a prior or ongoing relationship between the Reporting Party and the Responding Party and
the Responding Party asserts that Consent was sought and given, the prior sexual history between the
parties may be relevant to assess the manner and nature of communications between the parties. As noted
in other sections of the procedure, however, the mere fact of a current or previous dating or sexual
relationship, by itself, is not sufficient to constitute Consent.
Prior Sexual History with Other Parties
A party’s sexual history with an individual other than the Reporting Party or Responding Party may be
68
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
relevant under very limited circumstances to prove intent, motive, aB.S.ence of mistake, or to explain an
injury or physical finding.
Investigative Finding
The investigator(s) will make an Investigative Finding, by a preponderance of the evidence, regarding
whether the Responding Party violated the Policy and will recommend a sanction and/or remedy based
on the Investigative Finding. In reaching these determinations, the investigator(s) will consult with the
the Title IX Coordinator, and any other designated administrator who has information relevant to the
Investigation.
The investigator(s) will determine a recommended sanction and remedy when applicable.
Both the Reporting Party and Responding Party will be notified of the Investigative Finding and the
recommended sanction(s) and/or remedy(ies) in writing at the same time.
Outcome Conference
Upon issuance of the Investigative Finding, and where appropriate, a recommended sanction and/or
remedy, each party will have the opportunity to meet, separately, with the Coordinator or designee for an
outcome conference. The Coordinator or designee will review the Investigative Finding and, as applicable
and permitted by relevant privacy laws, the recommended sanction and/or remedies with the Reporting
Party and Responding Party. During the Outcome Conference, the parties will each have an opportunity to
review the full Investigation Report.
Where there has been an Investigative Finding that a Policy violation has occurred, both the Reporting
Party and Responding Party may:
1. Accept both the Investigative Finding and recommended sanction;
2. Accept the Investigative Finding, but request a Hearing on the recommended sanction;
or,
3. Request a Hearing on the Investigative Finding and recommended sanction.
If either party requests a Hearing, the matter will be referred to the Vice President of Instruction and
Student Services to determine whether a Policy violation was committed and/or to determine an appropriate
sanction.
Where there has been an Investigative Finding that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the
Responding Party violated the Policy, both the Reporting Party and Responding Party may:
1. Accept the Investigative Finding (on one or all of the alleged violations); or
2. Request Administrative Review of the Investigative Finding (on one or all of the alleged
1) violations).
The Reporting Party and Responding Party must communicate their chosen course of action to the
Report and Response Coordinator or designee in writing (e.g., email, letter) within five (5) business
days of notification of the Investigative Finding.
69
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Grievance Hearings
At least ten (10) business days after the issuance of an investigation report, the College must hold a live
hearing in front of the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services to determine responsibility of a
respondent. The VP may not be the Title IX Coordinator or the investigator(s).
A "live hearing" means either in person or virtually. The following hearing rules apply:
A. All parties must be able to see and hear the questioning of parties and witnesses.
B. Any party may request a virtual hearing. If requested, the College will provide a virtual hearing.
C. All parties have an equal opportunity to present witnesses, including fact and expert witnesses.
D. The parties’ advisors are permitted to cross-examine the parties and any witnesses.
E. The parties are prohibited from directly conducting cross examination. Cross examination must be
conducted by a party’s advisor.
The VP determines whether questions asked during cross examination are relevant to the
determination of responsibility. If the VP disallows a question, they will explain the basis for their
decision at the hearing. Parties and advisors may not challenge a VP’s relevancy determinations
during the hearing.
Evidence or questions that inquire about the complainant’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual
history are prohibited (i.e., rape-shield protections) unless such questions and evidence are offered
to prove that someone other than the respondent committed the conduct alleged by the complainant,
or if the questions and evidence concern specific incidents of the complainant’s prior sexual behavior
with respect to the respondent and are offered to prove consent.
The VP may not consider statements of individuals who do not submit to cross-examination in
reaching a determination of responsibility.
F. Records with a legally recognized privilege, such as medical treatment records, may not be used
unless the individual or entity who holds the privilege waives the privilege. Any waiver must be
written and made in advance of a hearing.
G. If a party does not have an advisor, the College will provide an advisor at no cost to the party. The
advisor may, or may not, be an attorney.
H. Other standard rules of evidence do not apply in grievance hearings under these procedures.
The hearing will be recorded, and the College will provide either an audio recording, audiovisual
recording, or transcript of the hearing to all parties.
The VP evaluates all relevant evidence and reaches a determination regarding responsibility. The VP
issues their final written determination to all parties within ten (10) business days of the hearing. The
final written determination includes a summary of the allegations; a description of the procedural
steps taken by the College to investigate and reach a determination of responsibility; findings of fact
supporting the determination; conclusions regarding the application of College policies to the facts; a
statement of and rationale for the result as to each allegation, including a determination of
responsibility; any disciplinary sanctions the College recommends or imposes; whether remedies
designed to restore or preserve equal access to an education program or activity will be provided to
70
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
the complainant; and the College’s appeal procedures.
I. The following sanctions may be imposed for those who have violated these procedures:
a. Verbal or Written Warning
b. Probation
c. Administrative withdrawal from a course without refund
d. Required Counseling
e. No Contact Directive
f. Suspension
g. Recommendation of Expulsion
h. Other consequences deemed appropriate
If the VP is required to make a recommendation for student expulsion or employee suspension, demotion or
dismissal, such recommendation will be made to the appropriate College official after the time for appeal has
expired. If the VP recommends the respondent be expelled, suspended, demoted, or dismissed, during the
time in which either party has to appeal, the respondent shall remain on suspension unless otherwise
determined by the VP.
Appeals
After the VP submits their determination of responsibility to the complainant and respondent, all parties are
given an equal opportunity to appeal the determination. Appeals may be based only on these grounds:
A. Procedural irregularity that affected the outcome;
B. New evidence that was not reasonably available at the time of the hearing that could affect the outcome;
and/or
C. The Title IX Coordinator, investigator, or VP had a bias or conflict of interest that affected the outcome.
Parties must submit any appeal to the President of the College within ten (10) business days of receiving the
VP’s written determination of responsibility. The College notifies all parties when an appeal is filed and
provides all parties a copy of the appeal and a chance to submit a written statement supporting or
challenging the outcome. Parties must submit written statements supporting or challenging the outcome to
the President of the College within five (5) business days of receiving a copy of an appeal. The Student
Appeal Process is outlined in R-CCC Administrative Procedure 09-0802. The President’s written decision is
final.
Electronic Sexual Assault Guidelines
The primary purpose of the Roanoke-Chowan Community College computer network is educational, and all
users must understand this purpose. Users must rely on the honesty, integrity, and respect for the rights of
others. The College does not attempt to define all acceptable or unacceptable uses of the network. Some
examples of unacceptable use include: using the network for any illegal activity, using the network for
financial gain, invading the privacy of others and posting anonymous messages, and creating and displaying
threatening, oB.S.cene, racist, sexist, or harassing material, including broadcasting unsolicited messages or
sending unwanted mail. Unacceptable use of the network by students will result in suspension and/or loss
of privileges. In addition, violation of state or federal statutes could make the users subject to criminal
prosecution.
71
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Substance Abuse and Communicable Disease Policy
Roanoke-Chowan Community College recognizes its responsibility to provide a wholesome environment of
health education awareness for students, faculty, and staff; a climate which discourages alcohol and
suB.S.tance abuse and the spread of communicable diseases, and the implementation of measures that
foster good school/community relations in the pursuit of maximized learning experiences for all its students.
Roanoke-Chowan Community College will conduct educational programs as needed to inform students, staff,
and faculty about suB.S.tance abuse and communicable diseases, including warning signs and preventive
measures. The educational program may include, but not be limited to, written publications, audio and
video presentations, guest speakers, seminars, workshops, health fairs, and other similar publications and
activities. The College will also appoint a task force, as needed, composed of representatives from all
segments of the institution, to advise and assist in implementing policies, programs, and procedures in
support of these endeavors.
SuB.S.tance abuse assistance will focus on actions, such as
• providing existing human resources for early intervention for individuals with a chemical problem,
• offering educational drug abuse prevention programs,
• referring persons needing assistance to existing community agencies while preserving the dignity of
the individual and the confidentiality of their student record, and
• referring students exhibiting erratic and/or disruptive behavior to the Associate Vice President for
Student Services where students will be subject to disciplinary action.
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled suB.S.tance or
alcohol is prohibited while in the workplace, on college premises, or as a part of any college-sponsored
activity. The possession and/or use of any drug as defined under the North Carolina Controlled SuB.S.tance
Act, G. S. 89 90 through G.S. 90 94 in or on any part of the Roanoke-Chowan Community College campus
will not be tolerated. For any infraction which is a violation of Federal or N.C. Law, students will be turned
over to local authorities.
The term “controlled suB.S.tance” means any drug listed in 21 CFR Part 1308 and other federal regulations,
as well as those listed in Article V. Chapter 90 of the NC General Statutes. Historically, these drugs have a
high potential for abuse and include, but are not limited to, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, PCP, and “crack.”
They also include “legal drugs” not prescribed by a licensed physician. The term “alcoholic beverage”
includes beer, wine, whiskey, and any other beverages listed in Chapter 18B of the NC General Statutes.
Students convicted of violating any federal, state, or local crime drug statute or alcoholic beverage control
statute while in the workplace, on college premises, or as a part of any college-sponsored activity must
inform the College in writing within three days of the conviction. A conviction means a finding of guilt
(including a plea of nolo contendere) or the imposition of a sentence by a judge or jury in any state or
federal court. As a precondition for continued enrollment at the College, students also may be required to
successfully finish a drug abuse/alcoholic rehabilitation program sponsored by an approved private or
governmental institution.
Policies regarding communicable diseases are as follows:
• Persons infected with a communicable disease will not be excluded from enrollment or employment
or restricted in their access to college services or facilities unless medically based judgments in
72
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
individual cases establish that exclusion or restriction is necessary to the health and safety of the
individual or to the health and safety of other members of the college community.
• Any student, college employee (either full time or part time), and any employee of contractors or
contracted services who knows or has reasonable basis for believing that he or she is infected with a
communicable disease has the responsibility of reporting this fact on a confidential basis to the
appropriate supervisor.
Student Health Services
The College has no facilities or personnel for medical treatment other than for minor first aid. At least one
first aid kit is in each campus building and maintained by the Safety and Security Office. All injuries and
accidents should be reported to Student Services, even if the accident is perceived to be minor. In the event
professional medical services are required, the Business Office should be notified. Emergency medical
services are available at the Roanoke-Chowan Hospital emergency room. In the event of an outbreak of a
contagious disease, students may be required to provide proof that they have current immunization as
recommended by the local health department.
Student Housing
The College does not provide student housing. Students who wish to live away from home must make their
own housing arrangements. Assistance in locating living arrangements in the community may be provided
by Student Services; however, R-CCC assumes no responsibility in any financial arrangement between the
student and the landlord.
Student Lounge
The Student Lounge provides a convenient place for relaxation, conversation, and a break between classes.
To help maintain overall campus cleanliness, food and drink should be kept within the student lounge or
taken outside. Food and drink are not permitted in classrooms/laboratories, the auditorium, and the
Multipurpose Room unless permission is granted by a college official or personnel.
All individuals wishing to use the Student Lounge are required to adhere to the College’s Student Codes of
Conduct, etiquette, and decorum. Individuals that cause disruption in the lounge will be asked to leave the
area by Campus Security and will result in the loss of Student Lounge privileges. Incidents and violations of
the Student Code of Conduct deemed sufficiently serious will be referred to the Associate Vice President for
Student Services for further action, as warranted.
Telephone Services/Emergency Messages
The college’s telephone system is for business purposes. Students needing to make calls are to use the pay
phones located in various buildings. Students are encouraged to advise family and friends not to call them at
the College unless there is an emergency.
Emergency calls will be directed to Student Services. The name of the caller, the nature of the emergency,
and a return number will be taken, and every effort will be made to contact the student.
If a person on campus requests the location of a student concerning an emergency, the person will normally
be referred to the Associate Vice President for Student Services to determine the nature of the emergency. If
it is apparent that an emergency exists, a short message will be delivered to the student stating the name of
the person and where the person will be waiting.
73
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Traffic and Parking
Each student, employee, and visitor must comply with parking regulations and posted signs. The College
reserves the right to withdraw motor vehicle privileges at any time from any person who does not comply
with rules and regulations.
Vehicle Registration
Every vehicle regularly driven on campus by students and employees must be registered in Student Services.
When a parking permit is issued to an individual, that person is responsible and accountable for that permit
and for all parking violations of the vehicle so registered, regardless of who is operating the vehicle. Parking
permits are not transferable. If the permit is lost or stolen, individuals should notify Student Services.
Display of Permit
Parking permits should be displayed as soon as obtained and placed in the bottom left corner of the rear
glass of automobiles and in the most prominent place on motorcycles and motor scooters. Permits must be
clearly visible from the rear, and they will not be honored unless displayed correctly. The identification
number must be legible always.
Parking Areas
Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise posted. Signs indicate areas for students,
employees, visitors, and special reserved areas. The following are designated as No Parking Areas:
1. a sidewalk
2. a pedestrian crosswalk
3. in or in front of a public driveway
4. lawns or grassed areas
5. areas prohibited by official signs
6. streets or driving lanes where parking spaces are not marked
7. on or over lines that mark parking spaces or lanes
8. reserved areas not designated as an authorized parking space for the person driving the vehicle
Handicapped Parking
A limited number of spaces have been reserved for handicapped individuals, and others will be reserved as
needed. Authorization for parking in these areas may be given for having an official state-issued
handicapped license plate or hanging tag or having a statement signed by a physician stating type and
duration of handicap. All persons qualifying for a reserved handicapped parking space must be registered as
such in Student Services, and the vehicle in which they are being transported must display a state-issued
handicapped license plate or hanging tag Institutional
Vehicle Parking
Parking spaces will be reserved and marked by signs for R-CCC vehicles. Other vehicles are not to park in
these spaces at any time.
Abandoned Vehicles:
Notice of impending towing, including date, will be posted on a vehicle left unattended on campus for five
consecutive days. On the eighth day following posting of the notice, the vehicle will be towed in accordance
with Article 7A, Section 20-219.11 of the NC General Statutes.
74
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Speed Limit
A speed limit of 10 miles per hour will be oB.S.erved for all vehicles while on campus.
Violations/Penalties
The Business Office or its designee will issue traffic tickets. Fines are $3 per violation for failure to register
vehicle; $10 per violation for improper parking; $250 per violation for parking in a handicapped zone.
All fines are due and must be paid in the Business Office within five days after the date of issuance,
excluding weekends or college holidays. The original copy of the violation must be presented along with
payment. If the ticket copy is lost, the ticket can be paid if the individual presents the vehicle license number
and parking permit number.
Students who fail to pay fines will not be allowed to register or secure a transcript of records until the
obligation has been cleared. Willful disregard of traffic violations or of unpaid fines may subject students to
disciplinary action.
Appeals
Persons feeling that their vehicle has been unjustly ticketed may appeal by submitting a written appeal to
Vice President of Finance & Administrative Services within five days, excluding weekends or college holidays,
following issuance of a ticket. After five days, the right to appeal is denied.
College employees and students not agreeing with the Vice President of Finance & Administrative Services’
decision may file a grievance in accordance with college procedures. Visitors may submit a written grievance
directly to the College President.
Implementation of the appeal procedure will not eliminate the responsibility to pay fines. A refund will be
made if the appeal verifies the ticket was unjustly issued.
Visitors and Children on Campus
Visitors are always welcome on the Roanoke-Chowan Community College campus. Visitors should report to
the receptionist desk located in the Student Services Center so that information and directions can be given

Adult Basic Education (ABE)
ABE is designed primarily for adults whose educational skills are below a ninth-grade level, ABE classes focus
on helping adults function more effectively in today’s technological world by improving their reading, writing,
math, and basic skills. Students work with instructors to improve in areas that they, the instructor, and the
placement tests deem to be areas of limited proficiency. Students without a high school diploma are
encouraged to continue studies in the Adult Secondary Education (ASE) program.
Adult Secondary Education (ASE)
ASE is offered as a means for adults with educational skills at the high school level to earn a High School
Equivalency Diploma by passing a high school equivalency exam (GED or HiSET) or successfully completing
the requirements for Multiple Pathways to HSE (MPHSE). The exam consists of four/five subject tests: social
studies, science, language arts/reading/writing, and math. In preparation for the exam, students are guided
through an individualized study process by instructors and given practice tests. Students should demonstrate
proficiency on the practice tests before taking the exam. The high school equivalency exams are
administered on campus several times each month during the day, afternoon, and evening. A testing fee is
required.
Students are eligible to participate in the college’s annual graduation exercises provided they have (1)
completed and passed the high school equivalency exam by the designated deadline, (2) ordered their cap
and gown and paid the required graduation fee by the designated deadline, and (3) returned all college

available to adults age 18 and above or for younger students, aged 16 or 17, who have dropped out of high
school (notarized documentation from parents and public-school officials must first be obtained).
Multiple Pathways to HSE (MPHSE)

to High School Equivalency (MPHSE) option as an alternative for earning a high school equivalency diploma.
Rather than using a single high school equivalency assessment, colleges have the option to use a
combination of currently valid pathway elements to document achievement on specifically determined
content standards.

Associate Degree Nursing (A45110)
Course Description:
The Associate Degree Nursing curriculum prepares
individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to
provide nursing care to clients and groups of clients
throughout the lifespan in a variety of settings.
Graduates of the Associate Degree Nursing program are
eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure
Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) which is
required for practice as a Registered Nurse (RN).
Employment opportunities include hospitals, long-term
care facilities, clinics, physician’s offices, industry, and
community agencies.
Approved by the NC Board of Nursing, the ADN program
admits first time nursing students in the fall semester
only. A maximum of 60 students may be enrolled in the
program, which includes first and second level. To be
considered for admission to the program, applicants must
meet the admission requirements established by the
College. Applicants must also meet those admission
requirements established by the ADN program. ADN
admission/selection is a competitive process, which is
outlined in this document.
Individuals who are interested in the Nursing Program or
currently enrolled in pre-nursing courses are strongly
encouraged to attend one of four information sessions
detailing the admissions process. Two sessions per
semester, fall and spring. (Your attendance at one of
these sessions equals four (4) points on your admissions
ranking worksheet). The nursing faculty will advise each
potential applicant about the course requirements for
nursing and related courses for earning an Associate
Degree in Nursing and the role of the Registrar in
determining what credits are awarded on transfer course
work. The admission/selection process for the ADN
program is composed of three steps. Each step must be
completed in sequence. Applications are accepted from
interested individuals beginning in November of the year
prior to which the person wishes to enter the Nursing
Program. Associate degree nursing program applications
are available online at Roanoke-Chowan Community
College's weB.S.ite, as well as the Associate Degree
Nursing Student Handbook of Policies and Procedures,
Medical Form, Tracking Sheet, and link to Eastern RIBN
(partnership with East Carolina University College of
Nursing). Applications do not carry over from year to year.
A new application must be completed and the admission
process followed beginning in November of the year prior

must then adhere to the admission policies that
are current for that year.
2. It is mandatory for applicants to inform Student
Services of any changes in their personal
information occurring since the date of application
in order for corrections to be made on the
selection data sheet (phone number, address,
etc.) The College will not be responsible for any
letters not delivered because of incorrect mailing
addresses.
3. If the applicant’s overall college GPA falls below
2.8, the applicant will forfeit admission to the
nursing program.
4. The nursing faculty recommends that all students
enrolled in nursing carry private health insurance
coverage.

Criminal Background Check and Drug Screening
The ADN Program requires a clinical component and a
criminal background check with a drug screening is
required by most clinical agencies. A student’s criminal
record will affect the student’s opportunity for successfully
completing the clinical portion of the course and therefore
will limit the student’s ability to progress in the program.
If a student is unable to attend any clinical site, due to
the criminal background check and/or drug screening, the
student will be dismissed from the program.
Transfer Students
Applicants desiring to transfer into Roanoke-Chowan
Community College Associate Degree Nursing program
must meet the same admission criteria required of all
nursing students. The applicant must follow the same
procedure required by R-CCC for all transfer students as
outlined in the R-CCC catalog. A transfer student is
defined as a student who has completed all requirements
for progression to the next semester at the college from
which they are transferring. Admission for the transfer
student is on a “space-available” basis, not to exceed
10% of total program enrollment. Twenty-five percent of
credit hours are required to be completed at this College
for the degree to be conferred.
In addition to the catalog requirements, the student may
be requested to provide course outlines for all nursing
courses for which the applicant is seeking credit, scores
from any standardized test(s) like the Kaplan Entrance
Test, taken at former schools, and a letter of
recommendation from clinical instructor who most
recently supervised applicant. The ADN Program Director
along with the Registrar will evaluate the outlines and
determine the amount of credit to be awarded. Applicant
must complete or receive transfer credit for coursework
required in curriculum sequence prior to point of entrance
into ‘NUR’ course with a grade of “C” or above in related
coursework and an “80” (B) or better in ‘NUR’ courses.
Due to the rapidly changing technology in nursing studies,
any student seeking transfer to the ADN program after
more than one-year lapse in nursing education will be
asked to demonstrate proficiency in core nursing
competencies by means of theory (written exam) and
clinical (skills) performance evaluations with a score of
“80” (B) or better. The proficiency exam will be
administered by the nursing faculty at a scheduled time,
to be announced during the application process.
All applicants seeking advanced placement as a transfer
student must complete ALL of the above admission
requirements on or before March 1. Applicants seeking
advanced placement as a transfer student for the spring
semester must complete ALL of the above admission
requirements on or before November 1. Completion of the
minimum admission requirements for transfer does not
guarantee acceptance into the program. Following
completion of the minimum admission requirements for a
transfer student, the competitive selection process will be
implemented for admission to the ADN program.
Advanced Placement (LPN)
Enrollment is contingent upon meeting the criteria met by
the generic nursing students, space availability as well as
the following criteria:
High school graduation or equivalent.
Transcript from the Practical Nursing Program showing
courses taken and grades earned.
Current unrestricted license to practice in North Carolina.
Completion of or transfer credit for coursework required in
curriculum sequence prior to point of entrance into NUR
courses. Additional courses may sometimes be required. A
minimum grade of “80” (B) is required on each nursing
course and a minimum of “C” or better on all related
coursework.
Satisfactory completion with a grade of an “80” (B) or
above on theory (written exam) and clinical performance
(skill competency) evaluation, which are administered by
the nursing faculty at a scheduled time, to be announced
during the application process.
All applicants seeking advanced placement as an LPN
transition student must complete ALL of the above
admission requirements on or before March 1. Applicants
seeking advanced placement as a transfer student for the
spring semester must complete ALL of the above
admission requirements on or before November 1.
Completion of the minimum admission requirements for
transfer does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
Following completion of the minimum admission
requirements for a transfer student, the competitive
selection process will be implemented for admission to the
ADN program.

Readmission
Students who have interrupted their studies in the ADN
program and who wish to continue their academic
pursuits are eligible for readmission on a “space available”
basis, not to exceed 10% of total program enrollment.
ALL current minimum admission requirements must be
met.
READMISSION TO ASSOCIATE DEGREE NURSING
Effective May 1, 2016
Students who have interrupted their studies in the ADN
program and who wish to continue their academic
pursuits are eligible for readmission on a “space available”
basis, not to exceed 10% of total program enrollment.
ALL current minimum admission requirements must be
met. If a student is not successful in NUR 111, he/she will
need to adhere to the admission guidelines referenced in
section 9.3 Admission Requirements.
A student who wishes to re-enter Associate Degree
Nursing must submit a written request to the Director.
This request for reentry must be received by the end of
the next semester following the interruption of studies.
The letter must state what interventions have been
implemented for success in the program. There is no
guarantee of readmission to the Associate Degree Nursing
program.
Students who return after an aB.S.ence of one semester
or more (except summer) (a) must meet current
admissions requirements (section 9.3 Admission
Requirements), and (b) submit an updated health
evaluation.
Students submitting for readmissions must complete and
score an 80% or higher on a comprehensive theory
evaluation which will include content covered in the
previous NUR courses where the student met proficiency.
This evaluation will be administered by nursing
faculty/staff at a scheduled time, to be announced during
the readmission process. Achievement of 80% on the
comprehensive theory evaluation does not guarantee
acceptance.
To assure retention of knowledge and skills, students are
urged to return to the program at the earliest feasible
time. The amount of time which has lapsed between
withdrawal from the program and the readmission request
must be considered by the program faculty. Nursing
faculty may make educational (classroom and clinical)
recommendations for any student seeking readmission.
Auditing of the previously completed program courses
may be recommended by faculty. Additionally, an
interview with Admissions Committee may be requested.
Any student who after readmission does not receive a
grade of “B” (80%) or better on all curriculum courses will
not be eligible to re-enroll in the Associate Degree Nursing
program.
The applicant who has exited the program one time for
any reason, since implementation of the Concept- Based
Curriculum in fall 2010, will be eligible for only one
readmission. Any applicant not enrolled in the nursing
program within two years from the time of their
withdrawal/dismissal will have to repeat all nursing
courses.
Students called to active duty military service while
enrolled in the Nursing program will be readmitted with
the same academic status that he or she had when last
attended.
STEP I: Determination of Enrollment Status
Readmission Response Form: Applicants who are
selected to enter the Nursing Program will receive a
readmission response form into the nursing program.
Progression
10.1 Evaluation and Guidance
Student evaluation begins prior to admission when the
application to enter College, the admission test scores,
and the high school and college transcripts of the
applicant are reviewed by the admissions committee.
A planned program for regular evaluation of each
student’s progress is instituted at the beginning of the
academic year. Students are required to participate
actively in the process of evaluation. Specific evaluation
processes are outlined in each course syllabus.
Provision for student guidance is made in the area of
academic advising. A faculty advisor is designated for
each student upon entrance to the program. Office hours
of the nursing faculty will be posted each semester on
their office doors. Appointments may be scheduled within
these office hours. Students are encouraged to meet with
their advisors soon after admission and then on a regular
basis for academic advising. Counseling is available
through Student Support Services.
10.2 Academic Progression
101
Roanoke-Chowan Community College 2022 - 23 Catalog
Academic progression in nursing includes successful
completion of the course or didactic requirements and
demonstrated competence on all assigned nursing
laboratory and clinical requirements. A nursing course is
comprised of three components of study, the classroom,
clinical and laboratory experiences as indicated in the
course syllabus.
To demonstrate attainment of course objectives for any
NUR course the student must:
A. Achieve an overall course grade of 80% (B) and
successfully pass all clinical/lab requirements.
B. Have Unit Test Average of 80% (B) or higher
without the addition of any collaborative points or
rounding of grades in order to take the final exam.
[Grades from assignments, pop quizzes, etc. will be added
only after the student’s calculated test average totals 80%
(B) or higher without the addition of any collaborative
points or rounding of grades]
In the event the student does not achieve an 80% unit
test average, the student will be allowed to drop if prior to
the 60% drop date. If beyond the 60% drop date, student
will receive a grade of (C).
C. Pass the Final Exam with a grade of 80% (B) or
higher without rounding the grade for successful “Pass” of
the course.
In the event the student does not achieve an 80% on the
final exam, the student will be allowed to drop if prior to
the 60% drop date. If beyond the 60% drop date, student
will receive a grade of (C).
D. Satisfactorily complete and meet course,
laboratory, clinical practice and/or program objectives and
requirements. (This includes clinical performance
evaluations, competence verifications, skills check-offs,
clinical papers, care plans, concept maps, logs, NCLEX
preparation, assignments and other course work as
assigned).
Students progressing in The Department of Nursing must:
1. Class: Receive a grade of “80” (B) or above in each
nursing course and “C” or better in pre-requisite, and co-
requisite course regardless of the semester enrolled as
stipulated by the corresponding grading scale. Should a
student make a grade below “80” (B) in nursing or below
“C” in nursing-related sequence course(s), he/she will be
