THE COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a
comprehensive community college, adheres to an "Open
Door" admissions policy. High school graduates, persons
achieving a North Carolina equivalency certificate
(GED), and adults who show potential for post high
school education may be admitted to courses which are
appropriate to their educational potential. Successful
implementation of an "Open Door" admissions policy
requires an emphasis on admissions counseling services.
As part of the admissions counseling process, Fayetteville
Technical Community College utilizes an initial placement
assessment and an evaluation of the applicant's prior
school record to determine potential for success. When the
admissions counseling process indicates that an applicant
lacks sufficient academic background to pursue credit
courses, he or she will be directed to the Developmental
Studies program prior to entry into a diploma or degree
curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma,
he or she will be given the opportunity to pursue studies
to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North
Carolina equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering
a regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula are open to
applicants without regard to race, color, national origin,
religion, age, sex, disability, or political affiliation.
mSTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty
and staff of nine people, and an enrollment of 50
students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has
experienced phenomenal growth from 1961 to the present.
Now in its third decade, FTCC provides programs to
meet the vocational, technical, and adult education needs
of Fayetteville, Cumberland County and surrounding
counties. FTCC currently is housed on an 150.7-acre
campus with a physical plant of over 877,806 square feet
and has a full-time faculty and staff of 703 people, an
enrollment ofover 10,000 curriculum students, and a total
operating budget of over million dollars.
FTCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area
Industrial Education Center under the auspices of the City
Board of Education and operated in the old senior high
school while facilities in the Honeycutt area were being
finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General Assembly
created the Department of Community Colleges for the
expressed purpose of providing for the establishment,
organization, and administration ofa system ofeducational
institutions. Located throughout the state, these institutions
offered courses of instruction in one or more of the
general areas of two-year college parallel, technical,
vocational, and adult education programs. The authority
for this newly-created department was vested in the North
Carolina State Board of Education. The center became a
part of this system at that time. The center's progress in
providing quality educational programs resulted in the
Board of Trustees requesting that the status ''Technical
Institute" be given the center. This request was granted
by the State Board of Education in September 1963, and
the name Fayetteville Technical Institute was adopted.
With the status of "Technical Institute," the Board of
Trustees was granted authority to award the Associate in
Applied Science Degree and Associate Degree in General
Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous
programs.
From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FTCC has
seen the construction of a number of buildings sUch as
Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson
Resource Center, the Administration Building, the Tony
Rand Student Center, Center for Business and Industry,
and the Advanced Technology Center. In November
1992, Cumberland County voters passed an FTCC bond
referendum which provided funds for construction of the
Continuing Education Center. North Carolinians passed
a community college bond in November of 1993 which
provided construction funds for the Health Technologies
Center. In the fall of 2001, a state-of-the art Early
Childhood Center was opened to care for 153 children.
In the summer of 2004, the Spring Lake Campus opened
and provided opportunities for students who reside in
northern Cumberland County. The Harry F. Shaw Virtual
Learning Center and the Horticulture Educational Center
was opened in Fall 2005. These buildings are part of the
continuous effort to provide state-of-the-art facilities and
equipment to train FTCC students for a broad range ofjob
opportunities.
Effective January 1, 1981, the North Carolina
Community College System was transferred from under
the control of the State Board of Education to the newly
created State Board of Community Colleges. This Board
is leading the North Carolina COminunity College
System into the third decade of educational challenge and
beyond.
�9
In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute
became Fayetteville Technical Community College when
the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges
and the North Carolina State Legislature allowed all the
technical colleges and institutes in the state to refer to
themselves as community colleges. The change was in
name only as the purpose and mission of Fayetteville
Technical Community College remains intact.
FTCC PURPOSE STATEMENT
The purpose of Fayetteville Technical Community
College is to provide affordable vocational-technical,
general education, college transfer, and continuing
education programs, which meet the needs and desires of
its students and community. To improve the educational

strives to prepare students for further workforce and
educational experiences.

and assists students in satisfying these needs at a minimal

system through Tech Prep and other programs. Further,
agreements with four-year colleges and universities
support the educational continuum from high school
through the baccalaureate degree.
Curricular programs reflect the changing technical,
commercial, industrial, and health needs of Fayetteville,
Cumberland County, and surrounding areas. Various
curricula offer certificates, diplomas, and associate
degrees. As a learning-centered college, FTCC offers
courses and programs at times and places convenient
to prospective students. Courses are also available for
high school graduates who need additional academic
preparation before attempting college work.

Assessment and Evaluation of Students
Fayetteville Technical Community College wants each
student to be successful in meeting his or her educational
goals. To evaluate the level of preparation and to place
students in appropriate courses, the College requires entry
assessment in the skill areas of English, reading, and
mathematics. To satisfy assessment requirements for most
programs the student needs to take the ACCUPLACER
(or other North Carolina Community College System
approved assessments) unless eligible for a waiver.
Entry assessment scores will be used for course
level placement. Each of the three skill areas of English,
reading and mathematics are independent of each other.
A student may place at the college level in one or more
areas. The College may limit the student to college
preparatory courses and any other instruction for which
he or she is adequately prepared.
Requirements for Taking Entry Assessment
Whether the student is seeking full-time or part-time
enrollment, unless he or she is qualified for an exception,

2. Prior to registration for the first session
if a Dual Enrollment student.

specific entry assessment score as a prerequisite.
Entry assessment scores may not be more than three years old.

assessment for registration in courses for which they
are qualified if they provide an official transcript or
other written documentation for one of the following
exceptions:
1. The student has attended a regionally accredited
institution (RAI) in which English was the language
of instruction and has successfully completed with a
grade of "c" or higher a transferable college-level
English and/or mathematics course.

from a RAI in which English was the language of
instruction and has successfully completed with a
grade of "c" or higher a transferable college-level
English and/or mathematics course.

for select courses to substantiate completion of
prerequisites when the student is enrolled in another
college or university and has applied to Fayetteville
Tech for "special credit" status.

or she is enrolled for job improvement or in selected
curriculum courses with no intent to earn an FTCC
degree.

scores at or above 450 each or ACT composite score

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION
FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information
regarding his or her length ofresidency in North Carolina.
The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina
is less than the tuition charge for non-residents attending
Fayetteville Technical Community College. To qualify
for in-state tuition, a legal resident must have maintained
his or her domicile in North Carolina for at least twelve
months prior to his or her classification as a resident for
tuition purposes. Copies of the applicable law (G.S. 116
143.1) and implementing regulation are available in the
Admissions Office. Initial classification of residency for
tuition purposes is made in the Admissions Office. Appeals
and requests for re-classification should be addressed to
the Director ofAdmissions.
Responsibilities ofthe StudentRelative to Resi
dency Classification
1. If the student currently are classified as a nonresident
for tuition purposes, it is your right to petition for
a change in classification to that of resident if you
claim that you are now and, for at least the twelve
month period immediately preceding the date of such
petition, have been a legal resident of the State of
North Carolina. The fact that you have resided in the
state for twelve months does not in itself constitute
in-state residency. You must be able to show proof
that you have indeed taken steps to become a legal
resident. Examples are: filing income tax in North
Carolina, registering to vote, listing personal property
taxes, automobile registration, etc.
2. If the student currently are classified as a resident for
tuition purposes, it is your obligation to petition for a
change in classification to that ofa nonresident if you
have reasonable basis for believing that change in facts
requires such a change in classification. Failure to fulfill
this obligation may result in appropriate disciplinary
�23
Examples to refund when dropping and adding
classes:
action including, but not necessarily limited to,
cancellation of enrollment. If it is detennined that,
in fact, you have become a nonresident, the effective
date of change in applicable tuition rates shall be the
next tenn following the date of change in facts which
required the change in classification, unless you are
deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state tuition
rate under the statutory twelve-month grace period.
If you claim eligibility as a member of the Armed
Forces or a dependent relative of such a member to
be charged the in-state tuition rate under G.S. 116
143.3, you must submit the appropriate application
prior to initial enrollment or re-enrollment for which
you claim the tuition benefit. You must submit the
application prior to each successive academic year of
enrollment.
After the class(es) has started, students should
complete all drop/add transactions in one
process. If a student change(s) or drop(s)
class(es), of equal hours during the same
computer transaction, no additional cost will
be incurred.
3. North Carolina laws require that each student supply
all infonnation requested relative to residency
classification for tuition purposes. Failure to do so
would result in classification as a nonresident for
tuition purposes. This process must be completed
before the tenn of enrollment begins.

Student drops MAT 161 class (a 5 credit hour
course) and adds an ENG 111 class (a 3 credit
hour course). Thus the student has dropped
two credit hours more than he or she added.
The student will only receive a 75% refund of
the tuition for the 2 excess hours dropped.
EXAMPLE of a DrovJAdd NOT in the Same
Transaction:
Student drops MAT 161 (a 5 credit hour
course). The Student returns at a later time and
adds ENG 111 (a 3 credit hour course). Thus
because not completed in the same transaction,
the student will receive a 75% refund for the
tuition of the MAT 161 class and will pay the
full tuition for the ENG 111 class.
c. For classes beginning at times other than
the first week (seven calendar days) of the
semester or tenn a 100 percent refund shall be
made if the student officially withdraws from
the class prior to the first class meeting. A 75
percent refund shall be made if the student
officially withdraws from the class prior to or
on the 10 percent point of the class.
d. To comply with applicable federal regulations
regarding refunds, federal regulations
�24
supersede the state refund regulations stated in
this Rule.
e. MilitaIy Students. A full refund of tuition and
fees shall be granted to military reserve and
National Guard personnel called to active duty
or active duty personnel who have received
temporary or permanent reassignments as a
result of military operations then taking place
outside the state of North Carolina that make
it impossible for them to complete their course
requirements

FINANCIAL AID
Fayetteville Technical Community College operates
with the assumption that no student should be denied a
college education due to lack of financial resources. As
far as possible, students are aided in meeting college costs
through careful planning and various forms of financial
aid and other third-party support.
�25
The Financial Aid Office at FTCC administers the
various Title IV financial aid programs under policies
established by the College and guidelines provided by the
u.s. Department ofEducation. The College Financial Aid
and Scholarship Committee recommends policy changes
and awards a variety of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community
College is offered to all students enrolled in eligible
curricula who meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is
granted on the basis of need rather than scholastic ability.
The Financial Aid Office utilizes the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to analyze applicant data
and determine student eligibility for financial aid.
All applicants and FTCC students are urged to apply
for financial aid. The FAFSA application package is
available in the FTCC Financial Aid Office and should
be completed as early as possible. Applicants are urged
to read the directions carefully and fill out the form
completely and accurately. The FAFSA form covers all
forms of financial aid offered at the college with the
exception of scholarships.
Various resources are available through the Financial
Aid Office located in Room 130 ofthe Tony Rand Student
Center or on our website at www.faytechcc.edu.
STUDENT INSURANCE
All students, either full- or part-time, who are charged
a student fee are covered by a master student accident
insurance plan carried by the College. Students are insured
while attending school during the hours that school is in
regular session or participating in or attending an activity
(other than an athletic activity) exclusively sponsored
and supervised by the College, and traveling directly to
or from such activity (other than an athletic activity) in a
vehicle furnished and supervised by the College.
Students participating in athletic activities which are
a part of their regularly scheduled instruction are covered
by this insurance. Students participating in organized
intramural sports are also covered.
The student accident insurance plan does not
guarantee payment of all medical costs, and the student
is responsible for the payment of all costs in excess of
those paid by the insurance policy. A copy of the student
accident insurance plan for the College is available in the
Health Services Office.

instruction along with practical experience is the most
effective way to obtain a balanced education. The program
is designed to provide the necessary tools to prepare the
student for the transition from school to work.

p.m. Students are seen on a walk-in basis, or appointments
may be made in person or by calling 678-8419.
Staff
The counseling staff is composed of professionals
with extensive training and competencies in counseling
and guidance. They are experienced in assisting students
in developing skills and attitudes needed to deal effectively
with their surroundings. Responsibilities of counseling
are shared equally between counselor and student, and the
counselor respects the ability of the individual to make
realistic choices among options presented.
Counseling Services
Admissions Counseling: Counselors interpret test
data, review transcripts, make course recommendations,
and assist students in viewing alternatives as they prepare
to enter Fayetteville Technical Community College. This
process may involve career counseling. In such cases,
counselors assist students in making a thorough self
appraisal of interests, abilities, and personality traits so
that they may utilize this information in making a wise
career choice. Additional career/vocational counseling
services are available through the Career Center, Room
113, Student Center.
Educational Counseling: Students who are uncertain
regarding their major course of study or who are
experiencing academic difficulty are aided in making
more meaningful academic choices.
Personal Counseling: Many students have personal
concerns which may interfere with their academic
success. The counseling staff provides an atmosphere in
which students may discuss problems with the assurance
that all counseling information is confidential and would
be released only with the student's written consent.
Group Counseling: Counseling Services provides a
variety of small group experiences ranging from personal
growth groups, to study skills groups, to career decision
making workshops. Students who wish to improve
communication or interpersonal skills may participate in
growth groups where they can experiment with new types
of behavior in a safe and accepting environment. For
those students experiencing academic difficulty, study
skills groups provide instruction and supervised activity
designed to improve study skills and habits. Students
can gain insight regarding their interests, abilities, and
decision-making styles, as well as the world ofwork, while
participating in career decision-making workshops.
Referrals: Those students with long-term counseling
needs or serious problems, such as personality disorders
which require special treatment, are referred to appropriate
agencies.
On-line Counseling: Students may receive most
counseling services at home. They may connect to the
Internet and access the following URL: http://www.

FACULTY ADVISEMENT
The Faculty Advisory System at Fayetteville Technical
Community College is an integral part of the instructional
and student development programs of the college. There
are two (2) primary components of faculty advising.
They are developmental and prescriptive advising.
Effe~tive advisors master both. Developmental advising
includes: projecting enthusiasm for the role as advisor;
responding to non-verbal communication; providing a
caring and personal relationship by exhibiting a positive
attitude toward advisees and their concerns; planning a
reasonable sch~dule; assisting with academic problems,
including study habits, appropriate course load, and career
objectives; and referring advisees to special services and!
or counseling as needed.
Prescriptive advising includes: possessing and
effectively providing accurate information about FTCC's
policies, procedures, resources, and academic programs;
placing emphasis on the students' academic development
and their progress toward fulfilling the requirements of
their Educational Plan; assisting with student scheduling
and registration; reviewing with the advisee his or her
Graduation Progress and Graduation Summary Report;
providing timely feedback~ and utilizing appropriate
institutional technology and software.
HEALTH SERVICES
Health services at FTCC are handled by the Health
Services Coordinator. Each shop and lab is equipped
with first-aid kits. Basic first aid is available. Students are
referred to an area health care facility when treatment is
required. Health counseling is provided by a trained staff
member. The Health Services Coordinator will act as a
referral agent as necessary.
JOB PLACEMENT
The Placement Office is available year round to
assist graduates entering the job market. The Placement
Office maintains placement records on students, initiates
contacts with prospective employers, arranges and
coordinates job interviews between students and employer
representatives, and maintains current information on
employment opportunities including salaries. Follow-up
studies of FTCC graduates are conducted yearly in order
to provide current information on graduate placement,
including type of employment, geographic location, and
salary scale.
OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAMS
FTCC offers three full service off-campus sites to
meet the educational needs of its military and civilian
communities in northern Cumberland County. The Fort
Bragg Education Center is located on the comer of Knox
and Randolph Streets and offers 9-week classes in the
evenings and weekends at nearby Erwin Elementary
School, Albritton Middle School and the soldier
Development Center. The Spring Lake Campus, located
on Laketree Boulevard, off North Bragg Boulevard and
Odell Road, offers 8 and 9-week day and evening classes,
also leading to the diploma, certificate and degree.
Qualified professional staff are available at each site to
provide a full compliment of one-stop quality customer
services for the student's admission and registration
convenience.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The College recognizes its responsibility under
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to provide
equal access to education for students with disabilities.
Support services are available to the hearing impaired,
visually impaired, orthopedically handicapped, learning
disabled, and other health impaired individuals. Please
note the following:
Students who feel that they need accommodations
due to a disability or handicap must
complete
a
"Special Populations Student Intake" form indicating the
nature of their disability.
Students who have identified themselves as
having special needs may make a request for special
accommodations to the Special Populations Counselor
or the Director of Counseling Services. New students
should make such requests at least 30 days prior to the
beginning of their first term of enrollment at the College.
�30
Continuing students should conununicate their needs to
the Special Populations Counselor inunediately upon the
discovery of the need. Early conununication of special
needs provides the time needed to arrange for services
and/or the procurement of equipment that may be needed
by a student.
Students must arrange to provide supporting
documentation upon request. Federal regulations
obligate the student to provide information on identifying
appropriate and effective auxiliary aids.
Each request will be evaluated by the Special
Populations Counselor and/or the Director of Counseling,
who will reconunend any modifications to the educational
plan that are essential to satisfactory completion of
course requirements by the student according to the ADA
guidelines.
The Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director
of Counseling will provide the student with a "Disabled
Student Enrollment" form which lists reconunended
services and/or acconunodations. This document is to
be used to inform college faculty and staff of authorized
acconunodations. For further information and assistance,
contact the Special Populations Counselor.
Reasonable Accommodations
The
following
acconunodations to
disabilities:
are
considered
reasonable
be made for students with
1. The process must be an interactive one involving
"a reasonable reciprocal effort" on the part of both
parties.
2. The College may not make a unilateral decision
regarding the existence of a disability or the
acconunodation that is necessary.
3. What is "reasonable" involves a detailed analysis of
the specific circumstances of the case in question.
Broad generalizations are not acceptable.
An
"individualized assessment" of the student's situation
must be conducted.
4. The College is not required to provide specifically what
the student requests. An alternative acconunodation
may be provided if it is effective.
5. The College does not have to provide acconunodations
that are not effective. The College has a right to refuse
to provide auxiliary aids and services that do not in
fact provide meaningful access.
6. The College must be given a reasonable amount of
time to evaluate requests and to offer the necessary
acconunodations.
7. The College does not have to provide acconunodations
that will impose an "undue administrative or financial
burden".
8. Challenges to student's requests must clearly involve
substantive questions regarding the manifestations of
the disability of the nature of the accommodations
requested.
Mere administrative expedience or
philosophical differences of opmlOns cannot be
used as a justification for denying reasonable
acconunodations.
9. Determining what is reasonable requires one to
balance two important rights: the student's rights to
be provided meaningful access and the College's right
to protect the integrity of its programs and services.
STUDENT HOUSING
Housing arrangements are the student's responsibility.
As a member of the North Carolina Department of
Conununity Colleges, FTCC does not provide student
housing.
VETERANS SERVICES OFFICE
The FTCC Veterans Services Office (VSO) serves as
the interface for veterans and eligible family members
seeking access to educational benefits provided by the
Veterans Administration. As such, it is the responsibility
of the VSO to provide counseling, clarification of VA
regulations, and certification for pay to the appropriate
Department ofVeterans Administration office.
THE CRIME AWARENESS AND
CAMPUS SECURITY ACT OF 1990
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of
1990, requires all institutions of higher education that
receive federal funding to collect all incidents of certain
crimes that occur on- and off-campus and publish the data
in an annual report for review by all interested personnel.

ACADEMIC LIFE
AND PROCEDURES
and U ) will be counted in determining the hours earned
and in determining the grade point average at Fayetteville
Technical Community College.
All curricular students receive semester-hour credit
for courses which they successfully complete.
However, all grades will be recorded on the student's
official transcript. Grades of withdrawal (W), withdrawal
passing (WP) and audit (AU) are not calculated in the
GPA, but they will be considered as a repeat grade.
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Credits
The Board of Trustees of Fayetteville Technical
Community College has been authorized by the North
Carolina Board of Community Colleges to award the
Associate in Arts Degree, Associate in Science Degree,
Associate in Applied Science Degree, Associate Degree
in General Education, the Diploma, and the Certificate
upon successful completion of curricular requirements.
Fayetteville Technical Community College has
structured its curricula, of both one and two years'
duration, on a post-secondary level and grants credit on
a semester-hour basis. Instruction in all curricula is post
secondary and requires students to be capable of study
beyond the high school equivalency level for success. The
curricula are designed on a semester-hour basis to include
general education areas which require extra out-of-class
preparation each term. Each class, lab, and shop session is
of50 minutes duration and requires a minimum ofoutside
preparation of two hours for each classroom session, one
hour for each lab session and additional outside preparation
for shop sessions. Semester-hour credit is granted on a
basis of one credit to three sessions of shop, one credit
to two sessions of lab, and one credit to each classroom
session of weekly attendance and one credit to ten hours
of cooperative work experience or practicum.
Students with academic deficiencies who require
remedial work as background preparation may enroll in
developmental studies courses. Developmental studies
courses carry credit hours for institutional accounting
purposes only and are not counted as credit hours toward
graduation in any of the curricula.
Course Repeat Policy
A student may repeat for credit or audit any curriculum
course one time in an effort to earn a higher grade and/or
to add to hislher mastery of course content. If a student
petitions for another attempt through the appropriate
Dean, a third and final attempt may be granted based on
documented major extenuating circumstances. When a
course is repeated, the last grade earned (A, B, C, D, F, WF
A student who earns a deficient grade ("D," "F,"
"WF," or "U") in a required course two times must see a
counselor. Specific program requirements for academic
progress are outlined in the College catalog (Le., Health
Occupations curriculums, Funeral Service Education, and
Paralegal Technology).
The University of North Carolina System and other
colleges or universities require that a student earn a grade
of "C" or better in each transfer course completed. A
student planning to transfer should realize that receiving
institutions do not have consistent policies regarding
grade forgiveness. Admissions personnel will review the
transcripts oftransfer applicants and may recompute grade
point averages to include the grade originally assigned,
or compute all grades assigned at Fayetteville Technical
Community College.
Note to students receiving VAass istance: Two attempts
will be the maximum allowed for counting a course as part
of a student's credit hour load for determining eligibility.
Veterans who wish to repeat courses, for which a passing
grade (D or higher) has been earned, will not receive
educational benefits for repeating those courses.
Note to students receiving Title IV Financial Aid:
All attempted classes will be counted toward academic
progress.
Note to students interested in a health program:
Previously completed science courses must have been
satisfactorily completed with a grade of "C" or better
within five years of entry in a health program. These
courses may be attempted only twice. Exceptions may
be approved through the appropriate health department
chairperson and through the Dean of Health Programs.

Facts to consider when dropping and adding classes:
Drop/Add with No Penalty After Class(es) Has
Started:
After the c1ass(es) has started, students should
complete all drop/add transactions in one
process. If a student change(s) or drop(s)
class(es), of equal hours during the same
computer transaction, no additional cost will
be incurred.
Drop/Add with a 75% Refund After Class(es)
Has Started:
If the number of hours dropped are greater
than the number of hours added, the 75%
refund policy will apply to the tuition cost for
the hours dropped.
EXAMPLE of a Drop/Add During the Same
Transaction:
Student drops MAT 161 class (a 5 credit hour
course) and adds an ENG 111 class (a 3 credit
hour course). Thus the student has dropped
two credit hours more than he or she added.
The student will only receive a 75% refund of
the tuition for the 2 excess hours dropped.
EXAMPLE of a Drou/Add NOT in the Same
Transaction:
1
I
Student drops MAT 161 (a 5 credit hour
course). The Student returns at a later time and
adds ENG 111 (a 3 credit hour course). Thus
because not completed in the same transaction,
the student will receive a 75% refund for the
tuition of the MAT 161 class and will pay the
full tuition for the ENG 111 class.
B. Once a student has duly enrolled in a class and
paid the registration fee, the student shall maintain
membership in said class, until one of the following
occurs:
1. Student Withdrawal - He or she officially withdraws
and the action is effective as of that date.
i
�33
2. Administrative Withdrawal
a. He or she ceases attending class. Students who
are absent for more than 20 percent of the
scheduled class sessions may be dropped from
the class rolls.
b. He or she fails to attend class prior to the 10
percent point of the term (census date). A
student who registers for a class(es) and never
attends class is a "no show". This constitutes
an adminsistrative withdrawal and is effective
per the census date for the term. A grade "W*"
will be assigned.
c. He or she completes the minimum objectives
stated for the class or transfers to another class.
C. A student may drop a class with the following
results:
1. A student may drop as late as the 30 percent
date of the term without penalty. The transcript
will indicate a "W."
2. A student who drops between the 30 percent
date of the term and the 80 percent date will
receive a grade of "WP" or "WF" depending
on the student's average in the class at the time
of the withdrawal.
3. Course requirements/tests missed in the
remainder of the class will be averaged into the
final grade as zero.
D. A student who wishes to withdraw must complete a
"Registration Change" form, have it approved and
initialed by the faculty member, and present it to
the Registrar before an official withdrawal can be
recorded. Failure to comply with this procedure will
result in a grade of "F."
A student who is dropped for excessive absences prior
to the 30 percent point of the class will be assigned a
grade of "W."
F. Failure to withdraw properly may receive a failing
grade for the course and may jeopardize a student's
right to re-enroll at a later date.
G. Students who withdraw or drop from any portion of a
course (classroom, lab, clinic or shop) will be dropped
from the entire course.
A Students who receive Financial Aid or VA
Educational benefits should confer with personnel in
those offices before dropping classes or withdrawing
from the College.
Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance is an essential part of the
educational process; therefore, absences must be kept to
a minimum. While stressing regular attendance, FTCC
simultaneously desires to allow students to develop a real
sense of personal responsibility toward their studies. This
policy has been established for the benefit of students who
are forced, because of reasons beyond their control, to
miss classes.
Attendance may be taken separately in
each portion of a course (i.e., class, lab, clinic, shop).
Missing 20 percent of any portion of a course may result
in administrative withdrawal.
Students who add a course after the first day of
the class are responsible for all materials covered from
the beginning of the course. Classes missed prior to a
student's late enrollment in a course are included in the
calculation of absences. Instructors are encouraged to
refer students with excessive absences to the Counseling
Office.
Each student is expected to attend class regularly--at
least 80 percent of all scheduled contact hours.
If absences exceed 20 percent, the faculty member
may drop the student from the course at any point during
the term, or if the student is performing acceptably, he
or she may be allowed to continue in the course under
conditions set by the instructor.
Tardy students interrupt a class meeting. If a student
enters the class after the faculty member has started the
class, the student shall be recorded as being tardy. Three
tardies shall be counted as one absence.
No absence, for any reason, shall excuse a student
from an announced test or other assigned activity. Make
up of any tests or work missed shall be at the discretion of
the faculty member.
Each student dropped may submit a request through
the Director of Counseling for review by the Student
Appeals Committee.
The following programs and departments have special
attendance policies which will be distributed to the students
during the first week ofclasses: Associate Degree Nursing,
BLET, Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Emergency
Medical Science, Emergency Medical Technician
(Continuing Education), Nursing Assistant (Continuing
Education), Pharmacy Technology, Phlebotomy, Physical
�34
Therapist Assistant, Practical Nursing, Radiography,
Respiratory Care, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant,
and Surgical Technology.
Students who receive Financial Aid or VA Educational
benefits should confer with personnel in those offices
regarding the impact of attendance on their eligibility for
financial assistance.
GRADING PROCEDURES
FTCC grades are based on a 4.0 grading system. Each
grade is assigned a "grade-point equivalent" in quality
points for each tenn credit hour scheduled. The scholastic
point average is detennined by dividing the total ofquality
points earned by the number of tenn hours scheduled.

STUDENT RIGHTS,
RESPONSIBILITIES AND
JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Academic institutions exist for the transmission
of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of
students, and the well-being of society. Free inquiry and
free expression are indispensable to the attainment ofthese
goals. As members of the FTCC academic community,
students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical
judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent
search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable
facets of academic conditions in the classroom, on the
campus, and in the community. Students should exercise
their freedom with responsibility. As members of the
FTCC academic community, students are subject to
the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of this
membership. As members of the larger community of
which the College is a part, students are entitled to all
rights and protection accorded them by the laws of that
community.
By the same token, students are also subj ect to all laws,
whether on campus or off campus, the enforcement of
which is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities.
When students violate laws, they may incur penalties
prescribed by legal authorities. In such instances, College
discipline will be initiated only when the presence of the
student on campus will disrupt the educational process
of the College. However, when a student's violation of
the law also adversely affects the College's pursuit of
its recognized educational objectives, the College may
enforce its own regulations. When students violate College
regulations, they are subject to disciplinary action by the
College whether or not their conduct violates the law. If
a student's behavior simultaneously violates both College
regulations and the law, the College may take disciplinary
action independent of that taken by legal authorities.
STUDENT RIGHTS
(I) All rights and privileges' guaranteed to every citizen by
the Constitution of the United States and by the state
of North Carolina shall not be denied any student.
(2) Within limitations, students are free to pursue their
educational goals. Appropriate opportunities for
learning in the classroom and on the campus shall
be provided for by the college. Student performance
will be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on
opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic
standards.
(3) Students have the right to freedom of expression,
inquiry, and assembly subject to reasonable and non
discriminatory rules and regulations regarding time,
place, and manner.
(4) Students have the right to inquire about and to propose
improvements in policies, regulations and procedures
affecting the welfare of students through established
student government procedures, campus committees,
and college offices.
(5) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974 provides safeguards regarding the confidentiality
of an access to student records, and this Act will be
adhered to by the College. Students and former
students have the right to review their official records
and to request a hearing if they challenge the contents
ofthese records. No records shall be made available to
�40
unauthorized personnel or groups outside the College
without the written consent of the student involved,
except under legal compulsion.
(6) No disciplinary sanctions other than removal from
class or activity (only for duration of said activity)
may ·be imposed upon any student without due
process. Due process procedures are established to
guarantee a student accused of a Student Code of
Conduct violation the right ofa hearing, a presentation
of charges, evidence for charges, the right to present
evidence, the right to have witnesses on one's behalf
and to hear witnesses on behalf of the accuser(s), and
the right of appeal.

presence in a College facility after closing hours.
3. Possession of or use of alcoholic beverages or being
in a state of intoxication on the College campus or
at College sponsored or supervised functions off
campus or in College owned vehicles. Possession,
use or distribution of any illegal drugs, except as
expressly permitted by law. An)' behaviour which
may be attributed to the use of drugs or of alcoholic
beverages shall not in any way l~mit the responsibility
of the individual for the consequences of hislher
actions.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
4. Lewd or indecent conduct, including'public physical
or verbal action or distribution of obscene or libelous
written material on the FTCC campus.
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and
orderly educational environment for students and staff.

a student's conduct dis.rupts or threatens to disrupt the
College community, appropriate disciplinary action will
be taken to restore and protect the orderliness ofthe FTCC
community.
5. Mental or physical abuse of any person on College
premises or at College sponsored or College supervised
functions, including verbal or physical actions which
threaten or endanger the health or safety of any such

scholarship and conduct. The purpose of this code is
not to restrict student rights but to protect the rights of
individuals in their academic pursuits.

which prohibit certain types ofstudent behavior. Violation
of one or more of the following regulations may result
in disciplinary sanctions by the College and/or legal

THE COLLEGE
"
,
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community. college, adheres to an "Open Door"
admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving
a North Carolina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults
who show potential for post high school education may be
admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educational potential. Successful implementation of an "Open
Door" admissions policy requires an emphasis on admissions
counseling service~. As part of the admissions counseling
process, Fayetteville Technical Community College utilizes
an initial placement assessment and an evaluation of the
applicant's prior school record to determine potential for success. When the admissions counseling process indicates that
an applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue
credit courses, he or she will be directed to the
Developmental Studies program prior to entry into a
diploma or degree curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high
school diploma, he or she will be given the opportunity to
pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or
a North Carolina equivalency certificate (GED) prior to
entering a regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula are
open to applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, disability, or political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FAYETTEVILLE
TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff
of nine people, and an enrollment of 50 students, Fayetteville
Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal
growth from 1961 to the present. Now in its third decade,
FTCC provides programs to meet the vocational, technical,
and adult education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland
County and surrounding counties. FTCC currently is
housed on an 140-acre campus with a physical plant of over
840,660 square feet and has a full-time faculty and staff of
706 people, an enrollment of over 10,000 curriculum students, and a total operating budget ofover 80 million dollars.
FrCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the auspices of the City Board
of Education and operated in the old senior high school while
facilities .in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963,
the North Carolina General Assembly created the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of
providing for the establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions. Located
throughout the state, these institutions offered courses of
instruction in one or more of the general areas of two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education pro-
granis. The authority for this newly-created department was
vested in the North Carolina State Board of Education. The
Center became a part of this system at that time.
The Center's progress in providing quality educational
programs resulted in the Board of Trustees requesting that
the status "Technical Institute" be given the Center. This
request was granted by the State Board of Education in
September 1963, and the name Fayetteville Technical
Institute was adopted. With the status of "Technical
Institute," the Board of Trustees was granted authority to
award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate
Degree in General Education in a&lition to the diplomas
offered in numerous programs.
From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FTCC has seen
the construction of a number of buildings such as Lafayette
Hall,. Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson Resource
Center, the Thomas R. Mclean Administration Building, the
Tony Rand Student Center, Center for Business and Industry,
and the Advanced Technology Center. In November 1992,
Cumberland County voters passed anFTCC bond referendum which provided funds for. construction of the
Continuing Education Center. North Carolinians passed a
community college bond in November of 1993 which provided construction funds for the Health Technologies Center.
In the fall of 200 1, a state-of-the art Early Childhood Center
was opened to care for 153 children. In the summer of 2004,
the Spring Lake Campus opened and provided opportunities
for students who reside in northern Cumberland County.
The Harry F. Shaw Virtual Learning Center opened for classes
in the fall of 2005, and the Horticulture Educational Center
is expected to open for classes in the fall of 2006. These buildings are part of the continuous effort to provide state-of~the
art facilities and equipment to train FreC students for a
broad range of job opportunities.
Effective January 1,1981, the North Carolina Community
College System was transferred from under the control of the
State Board of Education to the newly-created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North
Carolina Community College System into the third decade of
educational challenge and beyond.
In January 198'8, Fayetteville Technical Institute became
Fayetteville Technical Community College when the North
Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the
North Carolina State Legislature allowed all the technical
colleges and institutes in the state to refer to .themselves as
community colleges. The change was in name only as the
purpose and mission of Fayetteville Technical Community
College remains intact.

ASSESSMENT AND
EVALUATION OF STUDENTS
Fayetteville Technical Community College wants each
student to be successful in meeting his or her educational
goals. To evaluate the level of preparation and to place students in appropriate courses, the College requires entry
assessment in the skill areas of English, reading, and mathematics. To satisfY assessment requirements for most programs the student needs to take the ACCUPLACER (or

Entry assessment scores will be used for course level placement. Each of the three skill areas of English, reading and
mathematics are independent of each other. A student may
place at the college level in one or more areas and at the college preparatory level in other areas(s}. The College may
limit the student to college-preparatory courses and any
other instruction for which he or she is adequately prepared.

purposes, it is your right to petition for a change in classification to that of resident if you claim that you are
now and, for at least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of such petition, have been a
legal resident of the State of North Carolina. The fact
that you have resided in the state for twelve months does
not in itself constitute in-state residency. You must be
able to show proof that you have indeed taken steps to
become a legal resident. Examples are: filing income tax
in North Carolina, registering to vote, listing personal
property taxes, proof of automobile registration, etc.
2.
If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition
purposes, it is your obligation to petition for a change in
classification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable basis for believing that change in facts requires such
a change in classification. 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, you have become
a nonresident, the effective date of change in applicable
tuition rates shall be the next term following the date of
change in facts which required the change in classification, unless you are deemed eligible to further enjoy the
in-state tuition rate under the statutory twelve-month
grace period. If you claim eligibility as a member of the
Armed Forces or a dependent relative of such a member
to be charged the in-state tuition rate under G.S. 116143.3, you must submit the appropriate application
prior to initial enrollment or re-enrollment for which
you claillf the tuition benefit. You must submit the
application prior to each successive academic year of
enrollment.

3.
North Carolina laws require that each student supply all
information requested relative to residency classification

classification as a nonresident for tuition purposes.
Students will be required to repay any unearned dollars

of withdrawal and completion of calculation.
Examples of how refunds will affect your financial aid
may be reviewed in the Financial Aid Office.
REFUND POLICIES
1.

A 75 percent refund shall be made upon request of the
student if:
a. The student officially withdraws from the class(es)
prior to or on the official 10 percent poinr of the
session.
or
b. The student officially withdraws from all class(es)
prior to or on the 10 percenr point of the session.
Any monies that FTCC must return on your behalf as
unearned monies will become a debt of the student to
the college.
All withdrawals must be in writing and processed
through your instructors and the Registrar's Office.
*Calculation based on Federal Regulations: 34 CFR

student who withdraws from all classes prior to completing 60% of the enrollment period and has any Title N
aid (i.e., Pell, SEOG, Stafford Loan). To withdraw prior
to completing 60 percent of classes results in "unearned
monies" and may require the student to repay a portion
of any funds received by check and/or charges for
tuition, fees, or books.
If a student is contemplating withdrawal, it would be to
his or her advantage to visit the College's Financial Aid
Office and review the policy on student financial responsibility.
A withdrawal date is determined as follows:*
a. The date the student actually starts the process to
withdraw from class
b. The midpoint of the enr~llment period if the student ceases attending classes without official notification.

FINANCIAL AID
Fayetteville Technical Community College operates with
the assumption that no student should be denied a college
education due to lack of financial resources. As far as possible, students are aided in meeting college costs through careful planning and various forms of financial aid and other
third-party support.
The Financial Aid Office at FTCC administers the various
Title IV financial aid programs under policies established by
the College and guidelines provided by the U.S. Department
of Education. The College Financial Aid and Scholarship
Committee recommends policy changes and awards a variety
of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community
College is offered to all students enrolled in eligible curricula
who meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is granted on the
basis of need rather than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid
Office utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) www.fafsa.ed.gov to analyze applicant data and
determine student eligibility for financial aid.
All applicants and FTCC students are urged to apply for
financial aid. The FAFSA application package is available in
the FTCC Financial Aid Offlce and should be completed as
early as possible. Applicants are urged to read the directions
carefully and fill out the form completely and accurately. The
FAFSA form covers all forms of financial aid offered at the
college with the exception of scholarships.
Various resources are available through the Financial Aid
Office located in Room 130 of the Tony Rand Student
Center or on our website at www.faytechcc.edu.
STUDENT INSURANCE
All students, either full- or part-time, who are charged a
student fee are covered by a master student accident insurance plan carried by the College. Students are insured while
attending school during the hours that school is in regular
session or participating in or attending an activity (other than
an athletic activity) exclusively sponsored and supervised by
the College, and traveling directly to or from such activity
(other than an athletic activity) in a vehicle furnished and
supervised by the College.
Students participating in athletic activities which are a
part of their regularly scheduled instruction are covered by
this insurance. Students participating in organized intramural sports are also covered.
The student accident insurance plan does not guarantee
payment of all medical costs, and the student is responsible
for the payment of all costs in excess of those paid by the
insurance policy. A copy of the student accident insurance
plan for the College is available in the Health Services Office.

and student development programs of the college. There are
two (2) primary components of faculty advising. They are
developmental and prescriptive advising. Effective advisors
master both. Developmental advising includes: projecting
enthusiasm for the role as advisor; responding to non-verbal
communication; providing a caring and personal relationship
by exhibiting a positive attitude toward advisees and their
concerns; planning a reasonable schedule; assisting with academic problems, including study habits, appropriate course
load, and career objectives; and referring advisees to special
services and/or counseling as needed.
Group Counseling: Counseling Services provides a variety
of small group experiences ranging from personal growth
groups, to study skills groups, to career decision-maki~g
workshops. Students who wish to improve communication
or interpersonal skills may participate in growth groups
where they can experiment with new types of behavior in a
safe and accepting environment. For those students experiencing academic difficulty, study skills groups provide
instruction and supervised activity designed to improve study
skills and habits. Students can gain insight regarding their
Prescriptive advising includes: possessing and effectively
providing accurate information about FTCC's policies, procedures, resources, and academic programs; placing emphasis
on the students' academic development and their progress
toward fulfilling the requirements of their Educational Plan;
assisting with student scheduling and registration; reviewing
with the advisee his or her Graduation Progress and
Graduation Summary Report; providing timely feedback;
and utilizing appropriate institutional technology and sofrware.

regarding their major course of study or who are experiencing academic difficulty are aided in making more meaningful
academic choices.

.
Reasonable Accommodations
The following are considered reasonable accommodations
to be made for students with disabilities:
1.
The process must be an interactive one involving "a reasonable reciprocal effort" on the part of both parties .
2.
The College may not make a unilateral decision regarding the existence of a disability or the accommodation
that is necessary.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
3.
The college recognizes its responsibility under Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to provide equal access to
education for students with disabilities. Support services are
available to the hearing impaired, visually impaired, orthopedically handicapped, learning disabled, and other health
impaired individuals. Please note the following:
What is "reasonable" involves a detailed analysis of the
specific circumstances of the case in question. Broad generalizations are not acceptable. An "individualized assessment" of the student's situation must be conducted.
4.
The college is not required to provide specifically what
the student requests. An alternative accommodation may
be provided if it is effective.
1.
Students who feel that they need accommodations due
to a disability or handicap must complete a "Special
Populations Student Intake" form indicating the nature
of their disability.
.
5.
The College does not have to provide accommodations
that are not effective. The College has a right to refuse to
provide auxiliary aids and services that do not in fact
provide meaningful access.
2.
Students who have identified themselves as having special needs may make a request for special accommodations to the Special Populations Counselor or the
Director of Counseling Services. New students should
make such requests at least 30 days prior to the beginning of their first term of enrollment at the College.

The College must be given a reasonable amount of time
to evaluate requests and to offer the necessary accommodations.
7.
The College does not have to provide accommodations
that will impose an "undue administrative or financial
burden".
8.
Challenges to student's requests must clearly involve substantive questions regarding the manifestations of the
disability of the. nature of the accommodations
requested. Mere administrative expedience or philosophical differences of opini~ns cannot be used as a justification for denying reasonable accommodations.
9.
Determining what is reasonable requires one to balance
two important rights: the student's rights to be provided
meaningful access and the College's right to protect the
integrity of its programs and services.
3.
Studenrs must arrange to provide supporting documentation upon request. Federal regulations obligate the student to provide information on identifying appropriate
and effective auxiliary aids.

Course Repeat Policy
A student may repeat for credit or audit any curriculum
course one time in an effort to earn a higher grade and/or to
add to his/her mastery of course content. If a student petitions for another attempt through the appropriate Dean, a
third and final auempt may be grained based on documented major extenuating circumstances. When a course is
repeated, the last grade earned (A, B, C, D, F, WE and U)
will be counted in determining the hours earned and in
determining the grade point average at Fayetteville Technical
Community College.
However, all grades will be recorded on the student's official transcript. Grades of withdrawal (W), withdrawal passing (WP) and audit (AU) are not calculated in the GPA, but
'
they will be considered as a repeat grade.
A student who earns a deficient grade ("D," "F" "WF" or
"U") in a required course two times must see a counselor.
Specific program requirements for academic progress are outlined in the College catalog (i.e., Health occupations curriculums, Funeral Service Education, and Paralegal Technology).
The University of North Carolina System and other colleges or universities require that a student earn a grade of"C"
or better in each transfer course completed. A student planning to transfer should realize that receiving institutions do
not have consistent policies regarding grade forgiveness.
Admissions personnel will review the transcripts of transfer
applicants and may recompute grade point averages to
include the grade originally assigned, or compute all grades
assigned at Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Note to students receiving v.I1 assistance: Two attempts will
be the maximum allowed for counting a course as part of a
student's credit hour load for determining eligibility. Veterans
who wish to repeat courses, for which a passing grade (D or
higher) has been earned, will not receive educational benefits
for repeating those courses.
Note to students receiving Title IV Financial Aid; All
attempted classes will be counted toward academic progress.
Note to students interested in a health program; Previously
completed science courses must have been satisfactorily completed with a grade of"C" or better within five years of entry

Academic Course Load
The maximum course load for any academic term ranges
from 12 to 23 semester hours. Any request for exception to
the academic course load maximum must be evaluated by
your Academic Dean. When extenuating circumstances exist,
the Dean may grant you special permission to deviate from
the course load maximum.
The College reserves the right to limit the number of credit
hours in which you can enroll if you need developmental
studies courses or if you are placed on academic probation.
Schedule Atljustments and Withdrawals
A. Students may add a class within the first two school days
(one day for 8-week and 9-week terms) ofany term if the
class has not met.
WARNING: Complete all drop/add transactions in
one process. If you change or drop classes, the system
refunds 75 pei:cent of the tuition. If you add a class at •
another time (not during the same computer transaction as the drop), instead of a net zero, your account
reflects the 75 percent refund and a 100 percent
charge for the new class. The result is an additional 25
percent of the class tuition.
B. Once a student has duly enrolled in a class and paid the
registration fee, the student shall maintain membership
in said class, until one of the following occurs:
1.
Student Withdrawal
He or she officially withdraws and the action is effective as of that date.
2.
Administrative Withdrawal
a. He or she ceases attending class. Students who
are absent for more than 20 percent of the
scheduled class sessions may be dropped from
the class rolls.
D. A student who wishes to withdraw must complete a
"Registration Change" form, have it initialed by the
faculty member, and present it to the Registrar before an
official withdrawal can be recorded. Failure to comply
with this procedure will result in a grade of "WE"
E. A students who is dropped for excessive absences prior to
the 30 percent point of the class will be assigned a grade
of"W,"
F.
Failure to withdraw properly may receive a failing grade
for the course and may jeopardize a student's right to
re-enroll at a later date.
G. A student who withdraws or drops from any portion of
a course (classroom, lab, clinic or shop) will be dropped
from the entire course.
H. Students who receive FinancialAidor VA Educational benefits should confer with personnel in those offices before
dropping classes or withdrawingfrom the College.
GRADING PROCEDURES
FTCC grades are based on a 4.0 grading system. Each
grade is assigned a "grade-point equivalent" in quality points
for each term credit hour scheduled. The scholastic point
average is determined by dividing the total of quality points
earned by the number of term hours scheduled.

average in a class is equivalent to a failing grade and the
withdrawal or drop occurring between the 30 percent
date of the term and the 80 percent date of the term.
Students will receive their grades in the mail, so be sure
to report any change of addresses to the Registrar's Office
immediately.
All final course grades will be letter grades in accordance
with the adopted grading system. Student grade reports are
mailed at the end of each term.
All students must have at least a 2.0 grade point average
(major and cumulative GPA) and have passed all curricular
subjects as listed in the course outline under which they
entered to be eligible for graduation. They must also meet the
grade level needed in major subjects required to take licensure examinations.
Health occupations curricula, Funeral Service Education,
and Paralegal Technology require course grades of C or better in order to progress to the next courselterm. Each department area will issue to the student in written form the necessary information to cover such grading policies. Students
who request transfers to other degree curricula are expected
to have maintained a 2.0 GPA on all courses completed
including prerequisite courses.

STUDENT OBliGATIONS
Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance is an essential part of the educational process; therefore, absences must be kept to a minimum. While stressing regular attendance, FTCC simultaneously desires to allow students to develop a real sense of personal responsibility toward their studies. This policy has been
established for the benefit ofstudents who are forced, because
of reasons 'beyond their control, to miss classes. Attendance
may be taken separately in each portion ofa course (i.e., class,
lab, clinic, shop). Missing 20 percent of any portion of a
course may result in administrative withdrawal.,
1.
Students who add a course after the first day of the class
are responsible for all materials covered from the beginning ofthe course. Classes missed prior to a student's late
enrollment in a course are included in the calculation of
absences.
2.
Instructors are encouraged to refer students with excessive absences to the Counseling Office.
3.
Each student is expected to attend cl;.tss/egularly--at least
80 percent of all scheduled cq,ntact h9urS.
4.
If absences exceed 20 percent, the faculty member may
drop the student from the course at any point during the
term, or, if the student is performing acceptably, he or
she may be allowed to continue in the course under conditions setby the instructor.
5.
Tardy students intertupt the beginning ofa class meeting.
If a student enters the class afrer the faculty member has
started the class, the student sh~ be, recorded as being
tardy. Three tardies shall be counted as one absence.
6.
No absence, for any reason, shall excuse a student from
an announced test or other assigned activity. Make-up of
any tests or work missed shall be at the discretion of the
faculty member.
7.
Each student dropped may submit a request through the
Director ofCounseling for review-by the Student Appeals

�38 Student Rights, Respomibilities andJudicial Procedures
STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND
JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and
the well-being ofsociety. Free inquiry and free expression are
indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members
of the FrCC academic community, students are encouraged
to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in
a sustained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable
facets of academic conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community. Students should exercise their
freedom with responsibility. As members of the FrCC academic community, students are subject to the obligations
which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. As
members of the larger community of which the College is a
part, students are entided to all rights and protection
accorded them by the laws of that community.
By the same token, ,students are also subject to all laws,
whether on campus or off campus, the enforcement of which
is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When
students violate laws, they !llay incur penalties prescribed by
legal authorities. In such instances, College discipline will be
initiated only when the presence of the student on campus
will disrupt the educational process of the College. However,
when a student's violation of the law also adversely affects the
Colleges pursuit of its recognized educational objectives, the
College may enforce its own regulations. When students violate College regulations, they are subject to disciplinary
action by the College whether or not their conduct violates
the law. If a student=s behavior simultaneously violates both
College regulations and the law, the College may take disciplinary action independent of that taken by legal authorities.
STUDENT RIGHTS
1.
All rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen by
the Constitution of the United States and by the state of
North Carolina shall not be denied any student.
2.
Within limitations, students are free to pursue their educational goals. Appropriate opportunities for learning in
the classroom and on the campus shall be provided for
by the college. Student performance will be ev;uuated
solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct
in matters unrelated to academic standards.
3.
Students have the right to freedom of expression,
inquiry, and assembly subject to reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations regarding time, place,
and manner.
4.
Students have the right to inquire about and to propose
improvements in policies, regulations and procedures
affecting the welfare of students through established student government procedures, campus committees, and
college offices.
5.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
provides safeguards regarding the confidentiality of an
access to student records, ad this Act will be adhered to
by the College. Students and former students have the
right to review their official records and to request a
hearing if they challenge the contents of these records.
No records shall be made available to unauthorized per- ,
sonnel or groups outside the College without the written
consent of the student involved, except under legal compulsion.
6.
No disciplinary sanctions other than removal from class
or activity (only for duration of said activity) may be
imposed upon any student without due process. Due
process procedures are established to guarantee a student
accused of a Student Code of Conduct violation the
right of a hearing, a presentation of charges, evidence for
charges, the right to present evidence, the right to have
witnesses on ones behalf and to hear witnesses on behalf
of the accuser(s), and the right of appeal.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and
orderly educational environment for students and staff.
Therefore, when in the judgment of College officials, a student's conduct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College
community, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken to
restore and protect the orderliness of the FTCC community.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with generally accepted standards of scholarship and
conduct. The purpose of this code is not to restrict student
rights but to protect the rights of individuals in their academic pursuits.
The following regulations set forth rules of conduct which
prohibit certain types of student behavior. Violation of one
or more of the following regulations may result in disciplinary sanctions by the College and/or legal sanctions:
1. Academic Dishonesty taking or acquiring possession of
any academic material (test information, research papers,
notes, etc.) from a member of the College staff or student body without permission; receiving or giving help

area network. Employees are not permitted to copy software
from FTCC computers and install it on home or any other
computer without the expressed written permission of the
license owner.
�40 Student Rights, Responsibilities andJudicial Procedures
A variety of software is available on the Internet. Some of
this software, called "Freeware" or "Shareware" is available,
free of charge, for limited use ~d may be downloaded to
FTCe's computers with prior written approval of the MIS
Department. Other software available on the Internet and
from other electronic sources, however, requires the user to

ASSESSMENT AND
EVALUATION OF STUDENTS
Fayetteville Technical Community College wants each stu
dent to be successful in meeting his or her educational goals.
To evaluate the level of preparation and to place students in

the skill areas of English, reading, and mathematics. To satisfy
assessment requirements for most programs the student needs
to take the ACCUPLACER (or other North Carolina Commu
nity College System approved assessments) unless eligible for a
waiver.
Entry assessment scores will be used for course level place
ment. Each of the three skill areas of English, reading and
mathematics are independent of each other. A student may
place at the college level in one or more areas and at the college
preparatory level in other areas(s). The College may limit the
student to college-preparatory courses and any other instruc
tion for which he or she is adequately prepared.

is enrolled for job improvement or in selected courses with
no intent for an FTCC degree.

admission to Fayetteville Technical Community College
(FTCC), a Form 1-20, which authorizes your study period, will
be issued. A $100 Student and Exchange Visitor Information

submitted to the U.S. Consulate in the applicant's country to
apply for a visa. To obtain a non-immigrant, student visa,

�20 Admissions Information

insurance, housing, travel expenses, etc.
• That they have legitimate intentions to study full time and
gain education and training which will be useful in their
home country. After receiving an F-l or M 1 Visa from the
u.s. consulate, applicants are eligible to come to the u.s.
and "apply" for entry. An Immigration Inspector at the bor
der (usually the airport) will decide if applicants may enter
by looking for proof of the above criteria once again.
Therefore, applicants may be asked to show financial docu
mentation again, or to prove study plans. Applicants must
show their 1-20.
English Proficiency
Proficiency in the use of the English Language and past aca
demic record will be important factors in the admission deci
sion. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is
required of all foreign applicants. To obtain materials and
information regarding the TOEFL, write to:
Test of English as a Foreign Language
Box 899
Princeton,New Jersey 08540 USA

granted, applicants must show evidence of official financial
support (Form B) for each year of study in the United States.
The college cannot provide financial aid to students applying

applicants consult the excellent publications about study
abroad, which may be available through local educational
institutions or the United States Consulate. Applicants should
also investigate financial assistance that may be available
through their government or home university.
Fayetteville Technical Community College is tax supported

time on the campus of the school they are attending (and
whose 1-20 they have). They may work up to 20 hours per

time during summer vacations and between terms, provided
they continue at that school the following term.
Off-campus. Students holding F-l or M-l Visas are not
authorized to work except under extraordinary circumstances.
There are two ways to get permission for off-campus work:
practical training and severe economic hardship. The United

competencies required for jobs in the field. The final decision
of the acceptance of transfer credit for major courses will be
made by the Department Chairperson. Transcripts will be
reviewed during the admissions process and transfer credit
awarded according to the following criteria:
FTCC will evaluate non-traditional educational records for
the possible transfer of credits. Full documentation must be
provided before an evaluation can be made. Transfer of credit
for non-traditional work is limited to no more than 75 percent
of the AAS degree or diploma requirements.

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION FOR
TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information regard
ing his or her length of residency in North Carolina. The
tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than
the tuition charge for non-residents attending Fayetteville
Technical Community College. To qualify for in-state tuition,
a legal resident must have maintained his or her domicile in
North Carolina for at least twelve months prior to his or her
classification as a resident for tuition purposes. Copies of the
applicable law (G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regulation
are available in the Admissions Office. Initial classification of
residency for tuition purposes is made in the Admissions
Office. Appeals and requests for re-classification should be
addressed to the Director ofAdmissions.
Responsibilities ofthe Student Relative
to Residency Classification
1. If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition
purposes, it is your right to petition for a change in classifica
tion to that of resident if you claim that you are now and, for
at least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the
date ofsuch petition, have been a legal resident of the State of
North Carolina. The fact that you have resided in the state
for twelve months does not in itself constitute in-state resi
dency. You must be able to show proof that you have indeed
taken steps to become a legal resident. Examples are: filing
income tax in North Carolina, registering to vote, listing per
sonal property taxes, automobile registration, etc.
2. If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition pur
poses, it is your obligation to petition for a change in classi
fication to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable
basis for believing that change in facts requires such a
change in classification. 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, you have become a nonresident,
the effective date of change in applicable tuition rates shall
be the next term following the date of change in facts which
required the change in classification, unless you are
deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state tuition rate
under the statutory twelve-month grace period. If you
claim eligibility as a member of the Armed Forces or a
dependent relative of such a member to be charged the in
state tuition rate under G.S. 116-143.3, you must submit the
�24 Financial Information
appropriate application prior to initial enrollment or re
enrollment for which you claim the tuition benefit. You
must submit the application prior to each successive aca
demic year of enrollment.
3. North Carolina laws require that each student supply all
information requested relative to residency classification
for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would result in classi
fication as a nonresident for tuition purposes.
REFUND POLICIES
L Tuition Refunds
A 75 percent refund may be made upon request of the stu
dent if he/she officially withdraws from the class( es) prior
to or on the official 10 percent date of classes or the 10 per~
cent date of the term if the student officially withdraws
from the College. The student support services fee is not
refunded with the 75 percent tuition refund. To comply
with applicable federal regulations regarding refunds to
individuals or groups, federal regulations will supersede the
state refund regulations stated in this rule. (See Financial
Examples of how refunds will affect your financial aid
may be reviewed in the Financial Aid Office.
Any monies that FTCC must return on your behalf as
unearned monies will become a debt of the student to the
college.
All withdrawals must be in writing and processed
through your instructors and the Registrar's Office.

3. Bookstore Refunds
Bookstore refunds are made under the following condi
tions:
a. Students are allowed ten (10) calendar days beginning
with the first day of the term to return textbooks for
refund or credit.
b. Books which have not been used, damaged, or marked
in will be accepted for 100 percent refund or credit
toward the purchase of additional items. Proof of pur

Aid Recipients).
2. Financial Aid Recipients - BEWARE!
A new refund policy (Return to Title IV) became effective
in the 2000-2001 academic year. This policy affects any stu
dent wh~ withdraws from all classes prior to completing
60% of the enrollment period and has any Title IV aid (i.e.,
Pell, SEOG, Stafford Loan). To withdraw prior to complet
ing 600/0 of classes results in "unearned monies" and may
require the student to repay a portion of any funds received
by check and/or charges for tuition, fees, or books.
If a student is contemplating withdrawal, it would be to
his or her advantage to visit the College's Financial Aid
Office and review,the policy on student financial responsi
bility.
A withdrawal date is determined as follows:*
a. The date the student actually starts the process to with
draw from class
b. The midpoint of the enrollment period if the student
ceases attending classes without official notification.
*Title IV aid is 'earned by the following calculation:
a. # days completed/Total # days in term:::: % of term com
pleted
b. % of term * Title IV aid awarded=earned Title IV aid
Unearned monies is Title IV aid awarded less earned
Title IV aid. All aid is considered earned at 61 % of the
enrollment period.
Students will be required to repay any unearned dollars
to the Department of Education and/or FTCC. Notifica
tion of amounts due will be mailed upon notification of
withdrawal and completion of calculation.

TUITION WAIVERS
L Senior citizens aged 65 or over are entitled to free tuition.
2. High school students enrolled in a community college cur
riculum class under Huskins Bill Programs or concurrent
enrollment provisions are exempt from tuition.
3. When an employer, other than the armed services, pays
tuition for an employee to attend a community college and
when the employee works at a North Carolina business
location, the employer is charged the in-state tuition rate.
4. As long as there is no break in enrollment, out-of-state
service members and their dependents stationed at a North
Carolina base are eligible to be charged the in-state tuition
rate. This waiver is for the academic year. Continuing stu
dents must re-apply each fall term.
5. Certain out-of-state students, who are members of families
that were transferred to North Carolina by businesses or
industries or civilian families transferred to this state by
employment, may be eligible for in-state tuition rates.

Title IV financial aid programs under policies established by
the College and guidelines provided by the u.s. Department of
Education. The College Financial Aid and Scholarship Com
mittee recommends policy changes and awards a variety of
scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community College
is offered to all students enrolled in eligible curricula who
meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is granted on the basis
of need rather. than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid Office
utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

student fee are covered by a master student accident insurance
plan carried by the College. Students are insured while attend
ing school during the hours that school is in regular session or
.participating in or attending an activity (other than an athletic
. activity) exclusively sponsored and supervised by the College,
and traveling directly to or from such activity (other than an

of their regularly scheduled instruction are covered by this
insurance. Students ·participating in organized intramural
sports are also covered.

ance policy. A copy of the student accident insurance plan for
the College is available in the Health Services Office.

(Continuing Education students enrolled in a Basic Skills course
[e.g., Adult Basic Education, Adult High School Diploma, Gen
eral Educational DevelopmentlGED, English as a Second Lan
guage, Compensatory Education, or Human Resources
Development), should visit the Basic Skills Resource Center or
the Workforce Preparedness Center, both ofwhich are located in
the Continuing Education Center on our main campus.)
Media Services provides a qualified staff and excellent facil
ities to support the instructional programs with.materials pro
duction and equipment. Equipment that circulates is
controlled through Media Services. Students in need of assis
tance for class assignments, projects, 9r presentations should
contact Media Services through an instructor.
The Learning Resources Center has a seating capacity of

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The college recognizes its responsibility under Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to provide equal access to
education for students with disabilities. Support services are
available to the hearing impaired, visually impaired, orthope
dically handicapped, learning disabled, and other health
impaired individuals. Please note the following:
1. Students who feel that they need accommodations due to a
disability or handicap must complete a "Special Popula
tions Student Intake" form indicating the nature of their
disability.
2. Students who have identified themselves as having special
needs may make a request for special accommodations to
the Special Populations Counselor or the Director of
Counseling Services. New students should make such
requests at least 30 days prior to the beginning of their first
term of enrollment at the College. Continuing students
should communicate their needs to the Special Populations
Counselor immediately upon the discovery of the need.
Early communication of special needs provides the time
needed to arrange for services and/or the procurement of
equipment that may be needed by a student.
3. Students must arrange to provide supporting documenta
tion upon request. Federal regulations obligate the student
to provide information on identifying appropriate and
effective auxiliary aids.
4. Each request will be evaluated by the Special Populations
Counselor and! or the Director of Counseling, who will rec
ommend any modifications to the educational plan that are
essential to satisfactory completion of course requirements
by the student according to the ADA guidelines.
5. The Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director of
Counseling will provide the student with a "Disabled Stu
dent Enrollment" form which lists recommended services
and/or accommodations. This document is to be used to
inform college faculty and staff of authorized accommoda
tions. For further information and assistance, contact the
Special Populations Counselor.
Reasonable Accommodations
The following are considered reasonable accommodations
to be made for students with disabilities:
1. The process must be an interactive one involving "a reason
able reciprocal effort" on the part of both parties.
2. The College may not make a unilateral decision regarding
the existence of a disability or the accommodation that is
necessary.
3. What is "reasonable" involves a detailed analysis of the spe
cific circumstances of the case in question. Broad general
izations are not acceptable. An "individualized assessment"
of the student's situation must be conducted.
4. The college is not required to provide specifically what the
student requests. An alternative accommodation may be
provided if it is effective.
5. The College does not have to provide accommodations that
are not effective. The College has a right to refuse to pro
vide auxiliary aids and services that do not in fact provide
meaningful access.
6. The College must be given a reasonable amount of time to
evaluate requests and to offer the necessary accommoda
tions.
7. The College does not have to provide accommodations that
will impose an "undue administrative or financial burden".
8. Challenges to student's requests must dearly involve sub
stantive questions regarding the manifestations of the dis
ability of the nature of the accommodations requested.
Mere administrative expedience or philosophical differ
ences of opinions cannot be used as a justification for deny
ing reasonable accommodations.
9. Determining what is reasonable requires one to balance
two important rights: the student's rights to be provided
meaningful access and the College's right to protect the
integrity of its programs and services.
STUDENT HOUSING
Housing arrangements are the student's responsibility. As a
member of the North Carolina Department of Community
Colleges, FTCC does not provide student housing. Assistance
is available in locating living arrangements in the community.
Students in need of housing should contact the Student Activ
ities Office in the Tony Rand Student Center. The college
assumes no responsibility in any financial arrangement
between the student and the landlord. Financial arrangements
for rooms are on an individual basis between the student and
the landlord.
THE CRIME AWARENESS AND CAMPUS
SECURITY ACT OF 1990
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990,
requires all institutions of higher education that receive fed
eral funding to collect all incidents of certain crimes that occur
on- and off-campus and publish the data in an annual report
�Student Services 31
for review by all interested personnel. A copy of the
Annual Security Report is maintained on me in the Campus
Library and the Campus Safety and Security Office.
VETERANS SERVICES OFFICE
The FTCC Veterans Services Office (VSO) serves as the
interface for veterans and eligible family members seeking
access to educational benefits provided by the Veterans
Administration. As such, it is the responsibility of the VSO to
provide counseling, clarification ofVA regulations, and certifi
cation for pay to the appropriate Department of Veterans
Administration office.

ACADEMIC POLICIES
Credits
1. All curricular students receive semester-hour credit for
courses which they successfully complete.
2. The Board of Trustees of Fayetteville Technical Commu
nity College has been authorized by the North Carolina
Board of Community Colleges to award the Associate in
Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science
Degree, Associate Degree in General Education, the
Diploma, and the Certificate upon successful completion
of curricular requirements.
3. Fayetteville Technical Community College has structured
its curricula, of both one and two years' duration, on a
post-secondary level and grants credit on a semester-hour
basis. Instruction in all curricula is post-secondary and
requires students to be capable of study beyond the high
school equivalency level for success. The curricula are
designed on a semester-hour basis to include general edu
cation areas which require extra out-of-class preparation
each term. Each class, lab, and shop session is of 50 minutes
duration and requires a minimum of outside preparation
of two hours for each classroom session, one hour for each
lab session and additional outside preparation for shop ses
sions. Semester-hour credit is granted on a basis of one
credit to three sessions of shop, one credit to two sessions of
lab, and one credit to each classroom session of weekly
attendance and one credit to ten hours of cooperative work
experience or practicum.
4. Students with academic deficiencies who require remedial
work as background preparation may enroll in develop
mental studies courses. Developmental studies courses
carry credit hours for institutional accounting purposes
only and are not counted as credit hours toward graduation
in any of the curricula.
and audit (AU) are not calculated in the GPA, but they will be
considered as a repeat grade.
A student who earns a deficient grade ("D:' "F" or "WF") in
a required course two times must see a counselor. Specific pro
gram requirements for academic progress are outlined in the
College catalog (i.e., Health occupations curriculums, Funeral
Service Education, and Paralegal Technology).
The University of North Carolina System and other col
leges or universities require that a student earn a grade of"C"
or better in each transfer course completed. A student plan
ning to transfer should realize that receiving institutions do
not have consistent policies regarding grade forgiveness.
Admissions personnel will review the transcripts of transfer
applicants and may recompute grade point averages to include
the grade originally assigned, or compute all grades assigned at
Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Note to students receiving VA assistance: Two attempts will
be the maximum allowed for counting a course as part of a
student's credit hour load for determining eligibility. Veterans
who wish to repeat courses, for which a passing grade CD or
higher) has been earned, will not receive educational benefits
for repeating those courses.
Note to students receiving Title IV Financial Aid: All
attempted classes will be counted toward academic progress.
Note to students interested in a health program: Previously
completed science courses must have been satisfactorily com
pleted with a grade of"C" or better within five years of entry
in a health program. These courses may be attempted only
twice. The appropriate health department chairperson
through the Dean of Health Programs may approve excep
tions.
Effective: Fall term 2001
Revised: February 2003
Course Repeat Procedures
Course Repeat Policy
A student may repeat for credit or audit any curriculum
course one time in an effort to earn a higher grade and/or to
add to his/her mastery of course content. If a student petitions
for another attempt through the appropriate Dean, a third and
final attempt may be granted based on documented major
extenuating circumstances. When a course is repeated, the last
grade earned (A, B, C, D, F, and WF) will be counted in deter
mining the hours earned and in determining the grade point
average at Fayetteville Technical Community College. How
ever, all grades will be recorded on the student's official tran
script. Grades of withdrawal (W), withdrawal passing (WP)
These procedures apply to all students who have taken cur
riculum courses at FTCC.
1. The request for course repeat must be initiated by the stu
dent and directed to the Registrar.
2. All requests must be initiated prior to the end of the final
term of enrollment (Le., at the end of the fall term if gradu
ating at the end of the spring term).
3. Students applying for health programs must make the
request prior to the January 30 deadline.
4. The "Course Repeat" form is available in the Registrar's
office.
A student may petition in writing to the Associate Vice
President for Curriculum Programs to have grades which are
�Academic Life 33
at least seven years old forgiven.
The Vice President for Academic and Student Services
must approve exceptions to this policy.

Schedule Adjustments and Withdrawals
A. Students may add a class within the first five school days
(three days for 8-week or 9-week terms) of any term if the
class has .not met.
B. Once a student has duly enrolled in a class and paid the reg
istration fee, the student shall maintain membership in said
class, until one of the following occurs:
1. Student Withdrawal - He or she officially withdraws.
This constitutes student withdrawal from the College
and is effective as of that date.

C. A student may drop a class as late as the 30 percent date of
the term without penalty. The transcript will indicate a
"W:' Students who drop between the 30 percent date of the
term and the 80 percent date will receive a grade of"WP" or
"WF", depending on the student's average on all course
requirements. Course requirements/tests missed in the
remainder of the class will be averaged into the final grade
as zero.
D. A student who wishes to withdraw after the 30 percent date
of the term must complete a "Registration Change" form,
have it initialed by the faculty member, and present it to the
Registrar before an official withdrawal can be recorded.
E. Students who are dropped for excessive absences prior to
the 30 percent point of the class will be assigned a grade of
F. Failure to withdraw properly will jeopardize the student's
right to re-enroll at a later date.
G. Students receiving Financial Aid or VA Educational benefits
should confer with personnel in those offices before dropping
classes or withdrawing from the College.
GRADING PROCEDURES
FTCC grades are based on a 4.0 grading system. Each grade
is assigned a "grade-point equivalent" in quality points for
each term credit hour scheduled. The scholastic point average
is determined by dividing the total of quality points earned by
the number of term hours scheduled.

Students will receive their grades in the mail, so be
sure to report any change of addresses to the Regis
trars Office immediately.
�Academic Life 35
All final course grades will be letter grades in accordance
with the adopted grading system. Student grade reports are
mailed at the end of each term.
All students must have at least a 2.0 grade point average
(major and cumulative GPA) and have passed all curricular
subjects as listed in the course outline under which they
entered to be eligible for graduation. They must also meet the
grade level needed in major subjects required to take licensure
examinations.
Health occupations curricula, Funeral Service Education,
and Paralegal Technology require course grades of C or better
in order to progress to the next course/term. Each department
area will issue to the student in written form the necessary
information to cover such grading policies. Students who
request transfers to other degree curricula are expected to have
maintained a 2.0 GPA on all courses completed including pre
requisite courses.
To be removed from Academic Probation, a student must
attend mandatory counseling sessions and achieve a major
GPA of 2.00 while completing 50 percent of the credit hours
attempted. Students on probation should not enroll in acceler
ated sessions (8 or 9-week sessions) without advisor approval.
A student on academic probation would be eligible to con
tinue enrollment for no more than 24 semester hours.
A student enrolled in developmental coursework must
attend mandatory counseling sessions and successfully com
plete required developmental courses with a grade of "c" or
better. Students on Academic Probation may not enroll in any
course requiring a developmental prerequisite without first
completing the developmental course(s).
A student simultaneously enrolled in developmental
coursework and major courses will be placed on Academic
Probation if either condition above occurs or if the student
fails to complete a required developmental course with a grade
of"C" or better.
DEVELOPMENTAL COURSE
GRADING SYSTEM
Academic Suspension
Courses numbered below 100 are developmental courses.
The following grades are assigned for developmental courses:
A, B, C, or U. Students who receive a grade of"U" (Unsatisfac
tory Progress) will be required to re-take the course.
Developmental course grades are not counted as credit
towards graduation, nor are they calculated into the student's
cumulative Grade Point Average.
STANDARDS OF PROGRESS
Academic Standards
The College requires that students maintain a cumulative
and/or major grade point average of 2.00 or better in order to
meet institutional standards of progress and be eligible for
graduation.
Academic Probation

attempted for two consecutive terms
3. Special credit students must maintain a cumulative GPA of
2.00 or better.
Note: All students are responsible for being aware of any addi
tional departmental requirements.
Students failing to remove themselves from Academic Pro
bation after attempting 24 semester hours will be placed on
Academic Suspension for a minimum of one semester. Acade
mic Suspension means a student may not enroll in any credit
courses offered by FTCC during the suspension period.
Appeal ofAcademic Suspension
To be removed from Academic Suspension and continue in
the same program, a student must apply for readmission
through the Director of Admissions and be approved by the
department chairperson in order to re~enroll. When readmit

in the course under conditions set by the instructor.
5. Tardy students interrupt the beginning of a class meeting.
If a student enters the class after the faculty member has
started the class, the student shall be recorded as being
tardy. Three tardies shall be counted as one absence.
6. No absence, for any reason, shall excuse a student from an
announced test or other assigned activity. Make-up of any
tests or work missed shall be at the discretion of the faculty

�38 Student Rights, Responsibilities and Judicial Procedures
STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES
AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Academic institutions exist for the transmission ofknowl
edge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and
the well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are
indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of
the FTCC academic community, students are encouraged to
develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a
sustained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable
facets of academic conditions in the classroom, on the cam
pus, and in the community. Students should exercise their
freedom with responsibility. As members of the FTCC aca
demic community, students are subject to the obligations
which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. As mem
bers of the larger community of which the College is a part,
students are entitled to all rights and protection accorded
them by the laws of that community.
By the same token, students are also subject to all laws,
whether on campus or off campus, the enforcement of which
is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When stu
dents violate laws, they may incur penalties prescribed by legal
authorities. In such instances, College discipline will be initi
ated only when the presence of the student on campus will
disrupt the educational process ofthe College. However, when
a student's violation of the law also adversely affects the Col
lege's pursuit of its recognized educational objectives, the Col
lege may enforce its own regulations. When students violate
College regulations, they are subject to disciplinary action by
the College whether or not their conduct violates the law. If a
student's behavior simultaneously violates both College regu
lations and the law, the College may take disciplinary action
independent of that taken by legal authorities.
STUDENT RIGHTS
1. All rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen by the
Constitution of the United States and by the state of North
Carolina shall not be denied any student.
2. Within limitations, students are free to pursue their educa
tional goals. Appropriate opportunities for learning in the

COMPUTER USE GUIDELINES
Fayetteville Technical Community College employees, stu
dents, staff and other authorized users may not use or distrib
ute personally owned software on FTCC computers or'local
area network. Employees are not permitted to copy software
from FTCC computers and install it on home or any other
computer without the expressed written permission of the
license owner.
A variety of software is available on the Internet. Some of
this software, called "Freeware" or "Shareware" is available, free
of charge, for limited use and may be downloaded to FTCC's
computers with prior written approval of the MIS Depart
ment. Other software available on the Internet and from other
electronic sources, however, requires the user to obtain a
license for its use, sometimes for a fee. No employee shall
download such software to FTCC computers without prior
written approval of the MIS Department.
College owned or operated computing resources are for the
use of faculty, students, staff, and other authorized individuals.
Users must exercise responsible, ethical behavior when using

3. An access account assigned to an individual must not be
used by others. Individuals are responsible for the proper
use of their accounts, including proper password protec
tion and appropriate use of Internet resources. Allowing
friends, family or co-workers to use the account is a serious
violation of these guidelines.
4. All computer software is protected by the federal copyright
law and most is proprietary and protected by legal licensing
agreements in addition to the copyright law. The user is
responsible for being aware of the licensing restrictions for
the software used on any system.
S. Individuals shall not engage in activities which damage or
disrupt hardware or communication such as virus creation

resources, for example, by requesting multiple copies from
printers or by playing games.
7. Individuals shall not create, display, transmit or make
accessible threatening, racist, sexist, obscene, offensive,
annoying or harassing language and/or material, including
broadcasting unsolicited messages or sending unwanted
mail.
8. Individuals shall not intentionally access or damage sys

General Information 13
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a compre
hensive community college, adheres to an "Open Door"
admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a
North Carolina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults
who show potential for post high school education may be
admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educa
tional potential. Successful implementation of an "Open
Door" admissions policy requires an emphasis on admissions
counseling services. As part of the admissions counseling
process, Fayetteville Technical Community College utilizes an
initial placement assessment and an evaluation of the appli
cant's prior school record to determine potential for success.
When the admissions counseling process indicates that an
applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue
credit courses, he or she will be directed to the Developmen
tal Studies pro$ram prior to entry into a diploma or degree
curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he
or she will be given the opportunity to pursue studies to
achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North Carolina
equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering a regular cur
riculum. Admissions to curricula are open to applicants with
out regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex,
disability, or political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of
nine people, and an enrollment of 50 students, Fayetteville
Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal
growth from 1961 to the present. Now in its fifth decade,
FTCC provides programs to meet the vocational, technical,
and adult. education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland
County and surrounding counties. The campus has increased
to 134.9 acres with a physical plant of over 834,515 square feet
and has a faculty and staff of 1250 people, an enrollment of
approximately 40,000 students, and a total operating budget of
over $71 million dollars.
FrCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial
Education Center under the auspices of the City Board of
Education and operated in the old senior high school while
facilities in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963,
the North Carolina General Assembly created the Department
of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of provid
ing for the establishment, organization, and administration of
a system of educational institutions. Located throughout the
state, these institutions offered courses of instruction in one or
more of the general areas of two-year college parallel, techni
cal, vocational, and adult education programs. The authority
for this newly-created department was vested in the North
Carolina State Board of Education. The center became a part
of this system at that time.
The center's progress in providing quality educational
programs resulted in the Board of Trustees requesting that the
status "Technical Institute" be given the center. Thi,s request was
granted by the State Board of Education in September 1963,
and the name Fayetteville Technical Institute was adopted.
With the status of "Technical Institute;' the Board of Trustees
was granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Sci
ence Degree and Associate Degree in General Education in
addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.
From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FTCC has seen
the construction of a number. of buildings such as Lafayette
Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson Resource Cen
ter, the Thomas R. Mclean Administration Building, the
Student Center, Center for Business and Industry, and the
Advanced Thchnology Center. In November 1992, Cumber
land County voters passed an FTCC bond referendum which
provided funds for construction of the Continuing Education
Center. North Carolinians passed a community college bond
in November of 1993 which provided construction funds for
the Health Technologies Center. In the fall of 2001, a state-of
the art Early Childhood Center was opened to care for 153
children. These buildings are part of the continuous effort to
provide state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to train
FTCC students for a broad range of job opportunities. In the
fall of 2004, classes will be held in the Spring Lake Center.
Effective January 1, 1981, the North Carolina Community
College System was transferred from under the control of the
State Board of Education to the newly-created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North Car
olina Community College System into the fourth decade of
educational challenge and beyond.
. In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute became
Fayetteville Technical Community College when the North
Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the North
Carolina State Legislature allowed all the technical colleges
and institutes in the state to refer to themselves as commu
nity colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose
and mission of Fayetteville Technical Community College
remains intact.
FTCC PURPOSE STATEMENT
The purpose of Fayetteville Technical Community Col
lege is to provide low cost vocational/technical, general educa
tion, college transfer, and continuing education programs

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION
FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information
regarding his or her length of residency in North Carolina.
The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less
than the tuition charge for.non-residents attending Fayet
teville Technical Community College. To qualify for in-state
tuition, a legal resident must have maintained his or herdomi
cile in North Carolina for at least twelve months prior to his or
her classification as a resident for tuition purposes. Copies of
the applicable law (G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regula
tion are available in the Admissions Office. Initial classification
of residency for tuition purposes is made in the Admissions
Office. Appeals and requests for re-classification should be
addressed to the Director ofAdmissions.
Responsibilities ofthe Student Relative
to Residency Classification
1. If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition
purposes, it is your right to petition for a change in classi
fication to that of resident if you claim that you are now
and, for at least the twelve-month period immediately
preceding the date of such petition, have been a legal res
ident of the State of North Carolina. The fact that you
have resided in the state for twelve months does not in
itself constitute in-state residency. You must be able to
.show proof that you have indeed taken steps to become a
legal resident. Examples are: filing income tax in North
Carolina, registering to vote, listing personal property
taxes, automobile registration, etc.
2. If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition pur
poses, it is your obligation to petition for a change in clas
sification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable
basis for believing that change in facts requires such a
change in classification. 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, you have become a nonres
ident, the effective date of change in applicable tuition
rates shall be the next term following the date of change in
. facts which required the change in classification, unless
you are deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state
tuition rate under the statutory twelve-month grace
period. If you claim eligibility as a member of the Armed
Forces or a dependent relative of such a member to be
�Financial Information 27
charged the in-state tuition rate under G.S. 116-143.3, you
must submit the appropriate application prior to initial
enrollment or re-enrollment for which you claim the
tuition benefit. You must submit the application prior to
each successive academic year of entollment.
J
4. Out-of-state service members and their dependents sta
tioned at a North Carolina base are eligible to be charged
the in-state tuition rate. This waiver is for the academic
year. Continuing students must re-apply each fall term.
3. North Carolina laws require that each student supply all
information requested relative to residency classification
for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would result in clas
sification as a nonresident for tuition purposes.
6. Certain out-of-state students, who are members of fami
lies that were transferred to North Carolina by businesses
or industries or civilian families transferred to this state
by employment, may be eligible for in-state tuition rates.

is an educational plan designed to use the "laboratories of the'
community" in business, industry, and civic agencies to the
best advantage of the students, the college, and the employers.
The principle of this concept is that classroom instruction
along with practical experience is the most effective way to
obtain a balanced education. The program is designed to pro
vide the necessary tools to prepare the student for the transi
tion from school to work.

COUNSELING SERVICES
The counseling staff, located in the Student Center, is
available to assist all students with career plans, personal con
cerns, or educational counseling. Counselors are available
evenings and through telephone and Internet access for
evening, off-campus, and distance learning students. They are
available Monday through Thursday, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Students are seen on a
walk-in basis, or appointments may be made in person or by
calling 678-8419.
Staff
The counseling staff is composed of professionals with exten
sive training and competencies in counseling and guidance.
They are experienced in assisting students in developing skills
and attitudes needed to deal effectively with their surround
ings. Responsibilities of counseling are shared equally between
counselor and student, and the counselor respects the ability
of the individual to make realistic choices among options pre
sented.
Counseling Services
Admissions Counseling: Counselors interpret test data,
review transcripts, make course recommendations, and assist
students in viewing alternatives as they prepare to enter Fayet
teville Technical Community College. This process may
involve career counseling. In such cases, counselors assist stu
dents in making a thorough self-appraisal of interests, abili
ties, and personality traits so that they may utilize this
information in making a wise career choice. Additional
career/vocational counseling services are available through the
Career Center, Room 113, Student Center.
Educational Counseling: Students who are uncertain
regarding their major course of study or who are experiencing
academic difficulty are aided in making more meaningful aca
demic choices.
Personal Counseling: Many students have personal con
cerns which may interfere with their academic success. The
counseling staff provides an atmosphere in which students
may discuss problems with the assurance that all counseling
information is confidential and would be released only with
the student's written consent.
Group Counseling: Counseling Services provides a variety
of small group experiences ranging from personal growth
groups, to study skills groups, to career decision-making
workshops. Students who wish to improve communication or
interpersonal skills may participate in growth groups where
they can experiment with new types of behavior in a safe and
accepting environment. For those students experiencing aca
demic difficulty, study skills groups provide instruction and
supervised activity designed to improve study skills and
habits. Students can gain insight regarding their interests, abil
ities, and decision-making styles, as well as the world of work,
while participating in career decision-making workshops.
Referrals: Those students with long-term counseling
needs or serious problems, such as personality disorders
which require special treatment, are referred to appropriate
agencies.
On-line Counseling: Students may receive most counsel
ing services at home. They may connect to the Internet and
access the following URL: http://www.faytechcc.edu/stuserv/
counseling/online.htm. Students can enter their request and
expect a reply within 24-48 hours. This service does not
include personal counseling.
FACULTY ADVISEMENT
The Faculty Advisory System at Fayetteville Technical Com
munity College is an integral part of the instructional and stu
dent development programs of the college. There are two (2)
primary components of faculty advising. They are develop
mental and prescriptive advising. Effective advisors master
both. Developmental advising includes: projecting enthusiasm
for the role as advisor; responding to non-verbal communica
tion; providing a caring and personal relationship by exhibit
ing a positive attitude toward advisees and their concerns;
planning a reasonable schedule; assisting with academic prob
lems, including study habits, appropriate course load, and
career objectives; and referring advisees to special services
and/or counseling as needed.
Prescriptive advising includes: possessing and effectively
providing accurate information about FTCC's policies, proce
dures, resources, and academic programs; placing emphasis
on the students' academic development and their progress
toward fulfilling the requirements of their Educational Plan;
assisting with student scheduling and registration; reviewing
with the advisee his or her Graduation Progress and Gradua
tion Summary Report; providing timely feedback; and utiliz
ing appropriate institutional technology and software.
OFF CAMPUS STUDENT SERVICES
The Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base and Spring Lake
Center Student Services offices provide full-service, one-stop,

HEALTH SERVICES
Health services at FTCC are handled by the Health Ser
vices Coordinator. Each shop and lab is equipped with
first-aid kits. Basic first aid is available. Students are referred to
an area health care facility when treatment is required. Health
counseling is provided by a trained staff member. The Health
Services Coordinator will act as a referral agent as necessary.
JOB PLACEMENT
The Placement Office is available year round to assist
graduates entering the job market. The Placement Office
maintains placement records on students, initiates contacts
with prospective employers, arranges and coordinates job
interviews between students and employer representatives,
and maintains current information on employment opportu
nities including salaries. Follow-up studies ofFTCC graduates
are conducted yearly in order to provide current information
on graduate placement, including type of employment, geo
graphic location, and salary scale.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The College recognizes its responsibility under Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to provide equal access to
education for students with disabilities. Support services are
available to the hearing impaired, visually impaired, orthope
dically handicapped, learning disabled, and other health
impaired individuals. Please note the following:
1. Students who feel that they need accommodations due to
a disability or handicap must complete a "Special Popula
tions Student Intake" form indicating the nature of their
disability.
2. Students who have identified themselves as having special
needs may make a request for special accommodations to
the Special Popula~ions Counselor or the Director of
Counseling Services. New students should make such
requests at least 30 days prior to the beginning of their
first term of enrollment at the College. Continuing stu
dents should communicate their needs to the Special
Populations Counselor immediately upon the discovery
of the need. Early communication of special needs pro
vides the time needed to arrange for services and/or the
procurement of equipment that may be needed by a stu
dent.
3. Students must arrange to provide supporting documenta
tion upon request. Federal regulations obligate the stu
dent to provide information on identifying appropriate
and effective auxiliary aids.
4. Each request will be evaluated by the Special Populations
Counselor and/or the Director of Counseling, who will
recommend any modifications to the educational plan
that are essential to satisfactory completion of course
requirements by the student according to the ADA guide
lines.
5. The Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director of
Counseling will provide the student with a "Disabled Stu
dent Enrollment" form which lists recommended services
and/or accommodations. This document is to be used to
inform college faculty and'staff of authorized accommo
dations. For further information and assistance, contact
the Special Populations Counselor.
Reasonable Accommodations
The following are considered reasonable accommoda
tions to be made for students with disabilities:
1. The process must be an interactive one involving "a rea
sonable reciprocal effort" on the part of both parties.
2. The College may not make a unilateral decision regarding
the existence of a disability or the accommodation that is
necessary.
3. What is "reasonable" involves a detailed analysis of the
specific circumstances ofthe case in question. Broad gen
eralizations are not acceptable. An "individualized assess
ment" of the student's situation must be conducted.
4. The college is not required to provide specifically what
the student requests. An alternative accommodation may
be provided if it is effective.
5. The College does not have to provide accommodations
that are not effective. The College has a right to refuse to
provide auxiliary aids and services that do not in fact pro
vide meaningful access.
6. The College must be given a reasonable amount of time
to evaluate requests and to offer the necessary accommo
dations.
7. The College does not have to provide accommodations
that will impose an "undue administrative or financial
burden".
8. Challenges to student's requests must clearly involve sub
stantive questions regarding the manifestations of the dis
ability of the nature of the accommodations requested.
Mere administrative expedience or philosophical differ
ences of opinions cannot be used as a justification for
denying reasonable accommodations.
9. Determining what is reasonable requires one to balance
two important rights: the student's rights to be provided
meaningful access and the College's right to protect the
integrity of its programs and services.
�Student Services 33
VETERANS SERVICES OFFICE
The FTCC Veterans Services Office (VSO) serves as the
interface for veterans and eligible family members seeking
access to educational benefits provided by the Veterans
Administration. As such, it is the responsibility of the VSO to
provide counseling, clarification ofVA regulations, and certifi
cation for pay to the appropriate Department of Veterans
Administration office.
STUDENT HOUSING
Housing arrangements are the student's responsibility. As a
member. of the North Carolina Department of Community
Colleges, FTCC does not provide student housing. Assistance
is available in locating living arrangements in the community.
Students in need of housing should contact the Student Activ
ities Office in the Student Center. The college assumes no
responsibility in any financial arrangement between the stu
dent and the landlord. Financial arrangements for rooms are
on an individual basis between the student and the landlord.
THE CRIME AWARENESS AND
CAMPUS SECURITY ACT OF 1990
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990,
requires all institutions of higher education that receive federal
funding to collect all incidents of certain crimes that occur on

ACADEMIC POLICIES
Credits
l. All curricular students receive semester-hour crediffor
courses which they successfully complete.
2. The Board of Trustees of Fayetteville Technical Commu
nity College has been authorized by the North Carolina
Board of Community Colleges to award the Associate in
Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science
Degree, Associate Degree in General Education, the
Diploma, and the Certificate upon successful completion
of curricular requirements.
3. Fayetteville Technical Community College has structured
its curricula, of both one and two years' duration, on a
post-secondary level and grants credit on a semester-hour
basis. Instruction in all curricula is post-secondary and
requires students to be capable of study beyond the high
school equivalency level for success. The curricula are
designed on a semester-hour basis to include general edu
cation areas which require extra out-of-class preparation
each term. Each class, lab, and shop session is of 50 min
utes duration and requires a minimum of outside prepa
ration of two hours for each classroom session, one hour
for each lab session and additional outside preparation
for shop sessions. Semester-hour credit is granted on a
basis of one credit to three sessions of shop, one credit to
two sessions of lab, and one credit to each classroom ses
sion of weekly attendance and one credit to ten hours of
cooperative workexperience or practicum.
4. Students with academic deficiencies who require reme
dial work as background preparation may enroll in devel
o·pmental studies courses. Developmental studies courses
carry credit hours for institutional accounting purposes
only and are not counted as credit hours toward gradua
tion in any of the curricula.
Course Repeat Policy
A student may repeat for credit or audit any curriculum
course one time in an effort to earn a higher grade and/or to
add to his/her mastery of course content. If a student petitions
for another attempt through the appropriate Dean, a third and
final attempt may be granted based on documented major
exten1l;ating circumstances. When a course is repeated, the last
grade earned (A, B, C, D, F, and WF) will be counted in deter
mining the hours earned and in determining the grade point
average at Fayetteville Technical Community College. How
ever, all grades will be recorded on the student's official tran
script. Grades of withdrawal passing (WP) and audit (AU) are
not calculated in the GPA, but they will be considered as a
repeat grade.
A student who earns a deficient grade ("D;' "F" or "WF")
in a required course two times must see a counselor. Specific
program requirements for academic progress are outlined in
the College catalog (i.e., Health Occupations curriculums,
Funeral Service Education, and Paralegal Technology).
The University of North Carolina System and other col
leges or universities require that a student earn a grade of"C"
or better in each transfer course completed. A student plan
ning to transfer should realize that receiving institutions do
not have consistent policies regarding grade forgiveness.
Admissions personnel will review the transcripts of transfer
applicants and may recompute grade point averages to include
the grade originally assigned, or compute all grades assigned at
Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Note to students receiving VA assistance: Two attempts will
be the maximum allowed for counting a course as part of a
student's credit hour load for determining eligibility. Veterans
who wish to repeat courses, for which a passing grade (D or
higher) has been earned, will not receive educational benefits
for repeating those courses.
Note to students receiving Title IV Financial Aid: All
attempted classes will be counted toward academic progress.
Note to students interested in a health program: Previously
completed science courses must have been satisfactorily com
pleted with a grade of"C" or better within five years of entry in
a health program. These courses may be attempted only twice.
The appropriate health department chairperson through the
Dean of Health Programs may approve exceptions.
Effective: Fall term 2001
Revised: February 2003
Course Repeat Procedures
These procedures apply to all students who have taken
curriculum courses at FTCC.
l. The request for course repeat must be initiated by the stu
dent and directed to the Registrar.
2. All requests must be initiated prior to the end of the final
term of enrollment (Le., at the end of the fall term if grad

Schedule Adjustments and Withdrawals
A.' Students may add a class within the first five school days
(three days for 8-week or 9-week terms) of any term if the
class has not met.
B. Once a student has duly enrolled in a class and paid the
registration fee, the student shall maintain membership
in said class, until one of the following occurs:
1. Student Withdrawal- He or she officially withdraws.
This constitutes student withdrawal from the College
and is effective as of that date.

sonably assured that the student does not intend
to pursue the learning activities of the class. This
constitutes administrative withdrawal and is effec
tive as of that date.
c. He/she completes the minimum objectives stated
for the class or transfers to another class.
A student may drop a class as late as the 30 percent date of
the term without penalty. The transcript will indicate a
"W:' Students who drop between the 30 percent date of
the term and the 80 percent date will receive a grade of
"WP" or "WF", depending on the student's average on all
course requirements. Course requirements/tests missed
in the remainder of the Class will be averaged into the
final grade as zero.
A student who wishes to withdraw after the 30 percent
date of the term must complete a "Registration Change"
form, have it initialed by the faculty member, and present
it to the Registrar before an official withdrawal can be
recorded.
Students who are dropped for excessive absences prior to
the 30 percent point of the class will be assigned a grade
of"W:'
Failure to withdraw properly will jeopardize the student's
right to re-enroll at a later date.
G. Students receiving Financial Aid or VA Educational benefits
should confer with personnel in those offices before dropping
classes or withdrawingfrom the College.
GRADING PROCEDURES
FTCC grades are based on a 4.0 grading system. Each grade is
assigned a "grade':point equivalent" in quality points for each
term credit hour scheduled. The scholastic point average is
determined by dividing the total of quality points earned by
the number of term hours scheduled.

40 Student Rights, Responsibilities and Judicial Procedures
STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES
AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of
knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the deVelopment of students,
and the well-being ofsociety. Free inquiry and free expression
are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As mem
bers of the FTCC academic community, students are encour
aged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to
engage in a sustained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable
facets of academic conditions in the classroom, on the cam
pus, and in the community. Students should exercise their
freedom with responsibility. As members of the FTCC aca
demic community, students are subject to the obligations
which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. As mem
bers of the larger community of which the College is a part,
students are entitled to all rights and protection accorded
them by the laws of that community.
By the same token, students are also subject to all laws,
whether on campns or off campus, the enforcement ofwhich
is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When stu
dents violate laws, they may incur penalties prescribed by legal
authorities. In such instances, College discipline will be initi
ated only when the presence of the student on campus will
disrupt the educational process of the College. However, when
a student's violation of the law also adversely affects the Col
lege's pursuit of its recognized educational objectives, the Col
lege may enforce its own regulations. When students violate
College regulations, they are subject to disciplinary action by
the College whether or not their conduct violates the law. If a
student's behavior simultaneously violates both College regu
lations and the law, the College may take disciplinary action
independent of that taken by legal authorities.
3. Students have the right to freedom of expression, inquiry,
and assembly subject to reasonable and non-discrimina
tory rules and regulations regarding time, place, and
manner.
STUDENT RIGHTS
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
1. All rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen by the
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and
orderly educational environment for students and staff. There
fore, when in the judgment of College officials, a student's
conduct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College commu
nity, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken to restore
and protect the orderliness of the FTCC community.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accor
dance with generally accepted standards of scholarship and
conduct. The purpose of this code is not to restrict student
rights but to protect the rights ofindividuals in their academic
pursuits.
The following regulations set forth rules of conduct
Constitution of the United States and by the state of
North Carolina shall not be denied any student.
2. Within limitations, students are free to pursue their edu
cational goals. Appropriate opportunities for learning in
the classroom and on the campus shall be provided for by
the College. Student performance will be evaluated solely
on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in mat
ters unrelated to academic standards.
4. Students have the right to inquire about and to propose
improvements in policies, regulations and procedures
affecting the welfare of students through established stu
dent government procedures, campus committees, and
College offices.
5. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
provides safeguards regarding the confidentiality of an
access to student records, and this Act will be adhered to
by the College. Students and former students have the
right to review their official records and to request a hear
ing if they challenge the contents of these records. No
records shall be made available to unauthorized person
nel or groups outside the College without the written
consent of the student involved, except under legal com
pulsion.
6. No disciplinary sanctions other than removal from class
or activity (only for duration of said activity) may be
imposed upon any student without due process. Due
process procedures are established to guarantee a student
accused of a Student Code of Conduct violation the right
of a hearing, a presentation of charges, evidence for
charges, the right to present evidence, the right to have
witnesses on one's behalf and to hear witnesses on behalf
of the accuser(s), and the right of appeal.

�THE COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community college, adheres
to an “Open Door” admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a North Carolina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults who show potential for post high school education may be admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educational potential. Successful
implementation of an “Open Door” admissions policy requires an emphasis on admissions
counseling services. As part of the admissions counseling process, Fayetteville Technical Community College utilizes an initial placement assessment and an evaluation of the applicant’s
prior school record to determine potential for success. When the admissions counseling process
indicates that an applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue credit courses, he or
she will be directed to the Developmental Studies program prior to entry into a diploma or
degree curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he or she will be given the
opportunity to pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North Carolina
equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering a regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula
are open to applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, disability,
or political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of nine people, and an enrollment
of 50 students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal growth
from 1961 to the present. Now in its third decade, FTCC provides programs to meet the vocational, technical, and adult education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland County and surrounding counties. FTCC currently is housed on an 125-acre campus with a physical plant of over
702,444 square feet and has a full-time faculty and staff of 198 people, an enrollment of over
10,000 curriculum students, and a total operating budget of over 55 million dollars.
FTCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the auspices of the City Board of Education and operated in the old senior high school while facilities
in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General Assembly created the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of providing for the
establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions. Located
throughout the state, these institutions offered courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs. The
authority for this newly-created department was vested in the North Carolina State Board of
Education. The center became a part of this system at that time.
13
�The center’s progress in providing quality educational programs resulted in the Board of
Trustees requesting that the status “Technical Institute” be given the center. This request was
granted by the State Board of Education in September 1963, and the name Fayetteville Technical Institute was adopted. With the status of “Technical Institute,” the Board of Trustees was
granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate Degree in
General Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.
From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FTCC has seen the construction of a number of
buildings such as Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson Resource Center, the
Administration Building, the Student Center, Center for Business and Industry, and the
Advanced Technology Center. In November 1992, Cumberland County voters passed an FTCC
bond referendum which provided funds for construction of the Continuing Education Center.
North Carolinians passed a community college bond in November of 1993 which provided construction funds for the Health Technologies Center. In the fall of 2001, a state-of-the-art Early
Childhood Center was opened to care for 153 children. These buildings are part of the continuous effort to provide state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to train FTCC students for a
broad range of job opportunities.
Effective January 1, 1981, the North Carolina Community College System was transferred
from under the control of the State Board of Education to the newly-created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North Carolina Community College System
into the third decade of educational challenge and beyond.
In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute became Fayetteville Technical Community
College when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the North Carolina
State Legislature allowed all the technical colleges and institutes in the state to refer to themselves as community colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose and mission of
Fayetteville Technical Community College remains intact.
14
�FTCC PURPOSE STATEMENT
The purpose of Fayetteville Technical Community College is to provide low cost
vocational/technical, general education, college transfer, and continuing education programs
which meet the needs and desires of its students and community. To improve the educational

and programs at times and places convenient to prospective students. Courses are also available

�ADMISSIONS
Assessment and Evaluation of Students
Fayetteville Technical Community College wants each student to be successful in meeting
his or her educational goals. To evaluate the level of preparation and to place students in appropriate courses, the College requires entry assessment in the skill areas of English, reading, and
mathematics. To satisfy assessment requirements for most programs the student needs to take
the ACCUPLACER (or other North Carolina Community College System approved assessments) unless eligible for a waiver.
Entry assessment scores will be used for course level placement. Each of the three skill areas
of English, reading and mathematics are independent of each other. A student may place at the
college level in one or more areas and at the college preparatory level in other areas(s). The College may limit the student to college-preparatory courses and any other instruction for which he
or she is adequately prepared.
Requirements for Taking Entry Assessment
Whether the student is seeking full-time of part-time enrollment, unless he or she is qualified for an exception, the student must complete a state-approved assessment as indicated:
1. Prior to participating in registration if the student is seeking a degree.
2. Prior to registration for the first session if a Dual Enrollment student.
3. Prior to registration for any course which has a specific entry assessment score as a prerequisite.
Entry assessment score may not be more than three years old.
Entry Assessment
Students will be exempt from taking the entry assessment for registration in courses for
which they are qualified if they provide written documentation for one of the following exceptions:
1. The student has attended a regionally accredited institution (RAI) in which English was the
language of instruction and has successfully completed with a grade of “C” or higher a

ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
All foreign students who apply from outside the United States and have not previously attended
an American college or university will be processed as entering freshman. Foreign students are
ONLY admitted to begin their studies for the fall semester.
Application
Your application will not be considered until all of the following items have been received:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Preliminary Application (Form A)
Completed financial certificate (Form B)
TOEFL results (Only official scores sent from Princeton, New Jersey are acceptable)
Official high school (secondary) transcript
Official college or university transcripts, if applicable
Completed Pre-entrance Medical Record
Getting a Student Visa (F-1)
In order to apply for a F-1 or student visa, you must first apply and be admitted to a school in
the U.S. When you are admitted to Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC), we will
send you an I.N.S. Form I-20 which authorizes your study period. You can take that I-20 to the
U.S. Consulate in your country and apply for your visa.
In order to obtain a non-immigrant, student visa, you must be able to prove the following:
• That you have strong ties to your home country which demonstrate your intention to return
home after your studies (in other words, that you do not plan to immigrate permanently to
the U.S.)
• That you have sufficient funds to pay for your financial needs while you are studying in the
U.S., including tuition, health insurance, housing, travel expenses, etc.
• That you have legitimate intentions to study full time and gain education and training which
will be useful in your home country
Once you receive your visa from the U.S. consulate in your country, you are eligible to come to
the U.S. and “apply” for entry. An Immigration Inspector at the border (usually the airport) will
28
�decide if you are really admissible, looking for proof of the above criteria once again. Therefore,
you may be asked to show your financial documentation again, or you might be asked to prove
you really plan to study. You must also show the I-20 for the school where you intend to study.
NOTE: People who are on other types of visas may be eligible to study. Please check with the
Director of Admissions to find out whether you can enroll in classes.
English Proficiency
Your proficiency in the use of the English Language and your past academic record will be
important factors in the admission decision. The Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL) is required of all foreign applicants. To obtain materials and information regarding the
TOEFL, write to:
Test of English as a Foreign Language
Box 899
Princeton, New Jersey 08540 USA
Please specify code number 5208 when requesting your TOEFL scores to be reported to Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Financial Information
As part of the admission process to Fayetteville Technical Community College and before visa
approval to leave your country is granted, you must show evidence of official financial support
(Form B) for each year you will be studying in the United States. The college cannot provide
financial aid to students applying from other nations, so you must certify your own financial
support.
Many international students receive financial help from sources outside the United States.
Therefore, we suggest you consult the excellent publications about study abroad, which may be
available through your educational institutions or the United States Consulate in your country.
You should also investigate financial assistance that may be available through your government
or home university.
Fayetteville Technical Community College is tax supported by the people of North Carolina.
Legal residents of North Carolina and the United States are given preference in the admission
process. Therefore, applications of international students are accepted only on a space availability basis.
Employment
On-campus. F-1 students are allowed to work part-time on the campus of the school they are
attending (and whose I-20 they have). You may work up to 20 hours per week while attending
full-time classes. You can work full-time during summer vacations and between terms, provided
you continue at that school the following term.
29
�Off-campus. Students holding F-1 visas are not authorized to work except under extraordinary circumstances. There are two ways to get permission for off-campus work: practical training and severe economic hardship. The United States Immigration Services must grant
permission.
Period of Authorized Stay
Your admission to the U.S. on an F-1 visa is for “duration of status” (D/S). This is the time estimated for you to complete your approved program of study. During that time, you are required
to make satisfactory progress each term, keep a current passport that is valid for at least six
months into the future, and maintain a valid I-20.
Housing
Fayetteville Technical Community College serves entirely a commuting student body. Housing
is not available on campus. International students must seek housing in the community and
commute daily by public transportation. Arrangements for housing must be made between the
landlord and the student.
Transportation
International students must provide their own transportation or use public transportation to
travel between the campus and their housing accommodations.
Full-time Requirement
International students must enroll as a full-time student. College students must pass a minimum of 12 credits per term. The student should make satisfactory progress in their approved
program each term. Otherwise, the continuation of study on a student visa may be jeopardized
and the Form I-20 rescinded.
Additional Information
If you are a qualified applicant who wishes to attend the College, please apply. Send your request
to:
Director of Admissions
Fayetteville Technical Community College
P. O. Box 35236
Fayetteville, NC 28303-0236 USA
It is your responsibility to have your school principal or headmaster send official copies of

37
�RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information regarding his or her length of residency in
North Carolina. The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than the tuition
charge for non-residents attending Fayetteville Technical Community College. To qualify for
in-state tuition, a legal resident must have maintained his or her domicile in North Carolina for
at least twelve months prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes. Copies
of the applicable law (G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regulation are available in the Admissions Office. Initial classification of residency for tuition purposes is made in the Admissions
Office. Appeals and requests for re-classification should be addressed to the Director of Admissions.
Responsibilities of the Student Relative to Residency Classification
If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes, it is your right to petition for a change in classification to that of resident if you claim that you are now and, for at
least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of such petition, have been a
legal resident of the State of North Carolina. The fact that you have resided in the state for twelve
months does not in itself constitute in-state residency. You must be able to show proof that you
have indeed taken steps to become a legal resident. Examples are: filing income tax in North
Carolina, registering to vote, listing personal property taxes, automobile registration, etc.
If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition purposes, it is your obligation to petition for a change in classification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable basis for believing that change in facts requires such a change in classification. 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, you have become a nonresident, the effective
date of change in applicable tuition rates shall be the next term following the date of change in
facts which required the change in classification, unless you are deemed eligible to further enjoy
the in-state tuition rate under the statutory twelve-month grace period. If you claim eligibility as
a member of the Armed Forces or a dependent relative of such a member to be charged the
in-state tuition rate under G.S. 116-143.3, you must submit the appropriate application prior to
initial enrollment or re-enrollment for which you claim the tuition benefit. You must submit the
application prior to each successive academic year of enrollment.
North Carolina laws require that each student supply all information requested relative to
residency classification for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would result in classification as a
nonresident for tuition purposes.
38
�REFUND POLICIES
Tuition Refunds
A 75 percent refund may be made upon request of the student if he/she officially withdraws
from the class (es) prior to or on the official 10 percent point of the term or the 10 percent point
of the term if the student officially withdraws from the College. The student support fee is not
refunded with the 75 percent tuition refund. To comply with applicable federal regulations
regarding refunds to individuals or groups, federal regulations will supersede the state refund
regulations stated in this rule.
Bookstore Refunds
Bookstore refunds are made under the following conditions:
a. Students are allowed ten (10) calendar days beginning with the first day of the term to
return textbooks for refund or credit.
b. Books which have not been used, damaged, or marked in will be accepted for 100 percent refund or credit toward the purchase of additional items. Proof of purchase (cash
register receipt) must be shown.
c. All refunds will be made by check mailed to the individual student. No cash refunds will
be made.
TUITION WAIVERS
1. Senior citizens aged 65 or over are entitled to free tuition.

Programs or concurrent enrollment provisions are exempt from tuition.
3. When an employer, other than the armed services, pays tuition for an employee to attend a
community college and when the employee works at a North Carolina business location, the
employer is charged the in-state tuition rate.
4. Out-of-state service members and their dependents stationed at a North Carolina base are
eligible to be charged the in-state tuition rate. This waiver is for the academic year. Continuing students must re-apply each fall term.
5. Certain out-of-state students, who are members of families that were transferred to North
Carolina by businesses or industries or civilian families transferred to this state by employment, may be eligible for in-state tuition rates.

�FINANCIAL AID
Fayetteville Technical Community College operates with the assumption that no student should
be denied a college education due to lack of financial resources. As far as possible, students are
aided in meeting college costs through careful planning and various forms of financial aid and
other third-party support.
The Financial Aid Office at FTCC administers the various Title IV financial aid programs
under policies established by the College and guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of
Education. The College Financial Aid and Scholarship Committee recommends policy changes
and awards a variety of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community College is offered to all students enrolled
in eligible curricula who meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is granted on the basis of need
rather than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid Office utilizes the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) to analyze applicant data and determine student eligibility for financial
aid.
All applicants and FTCC students are urged to apply for financial aid. The FAFSA application package is available in the FTCC Financial Aid Office and should be completed as early as
possible. Applicants are urged to read the directions carefully and fill out the form completely
and accurately. The FAFSA form covers all forms of financial aid offered at the college with the
exception of scholarships.
Various resources are available through the Financial Aid Office located in Room 130 of the
Student Center or on our website at www.faytechcc.edu.
STUDENT INSURANCE
All students, either full- or part-time, who are charged a student fee are covered by a master
student accident insurance plan carried by the College. Students are insured while attending
school during the hours that school is in regular session or participating in or attending an
activity (other than an athletic activity) exclusively sponsored and supervised by the College,
and traveling directly to or from such activity (other than an athletic activity) in a vehicle furnished and supervised by the College.
Students participating in athletic activities which are a part of their regularly scheduled
instruction are covered by this insurance. Students participating in organized intramural sports
are also covered.
The student accident insurance plan does not guarantee payment of all medical costs, and
the student is responsible for the payment of all costs in excess of those paid by the insurance
policy. A copy of the student accident insurance plan for the College is available in the Health
Services Office.

to students, staff and faculty, and members of the community. Visit our website at
www.faytechcc.edu for further information and assistance.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Cooperative Education offers an extension and application of classroom instruction
through a supervised work experience that is related to the student’s educational goals. It is an
educational plan designed to use the “laboratories of the community” in business, industry, and
civic agencies to the best advantage of the students, the college, and the employers.
The principle of this concept is that classroom instruction along with practical experience is
the most effective way to obtain a balanced education. The program is designed to provide the
necessary tools to prepare the student for the transition from school to work.
COUNSELING SERVICES
The counseling staff, located in the Student Center, is available to assist all students with
career plans, personal concerns, or educational counseling. Counselors are available evenings
and through telephone and Internet access for evening, off-campus, and distance learning students. They are available Monday through Thursday, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Students are seen on a walk-in basis, or appointments may be made in person
or by calling 678-8419.
Staff
The counseling staff is composed of professionals with extensive training and competencies in
counseling and guidance. They are experienced in assisting students in developing skills and
attitudes needed to deal effectively with their surroundings. Responsibilities of counseling are
shared equally between counselor and student, and the counselor respects the ability of the
individual to make realistic choices among options presented.
44
�Counseling Services
Admissions Counseling: Counselors interpret test data, review transcripts, make course recommendations, and assist students in viewing alternatives as they prepare to enter Fayetteville
Technical Community College. This process may involve career counseling. In such cases, counselors assist students in making a thorough self-appraisal of interests, abilities, and personality
traits so that they may utilize this information in making a wise career choice. Additional
career/vocational counseling services are available through the Career Center, Room 113,
Student Center.
Educational Counseling: Students who are uncertain regarding their major course of study
or who are experiencing academic difficulty are aided in making more meaningful academic
choices.
Personal Counseling: Many students have personal concerns which may interfere with their
academic success. The counseling staff provides an atmosphere in which students may discuss
problems with the assurance that all counseling information is confidential and would be
released only with the student’s written consent.
Group Counseling: Counseling Services provides a variety of small group experiences ranging from personal growth groups, to study skills groups, to career decision-making workshops.
Students who wish to improve communication or interpersonal skills may participate in growth
groups where they can experiment with new types of behavior in a safe and accepting environment. For those students experiencing academic difficulty, study skills groups provide instruction and supervised activity designed to improve study skills and habits. Students can gain
insight regarding their interests, abilities, and decision-making styles, as well as the world of
work, while participating in career decision-making workshops.
Referrals: Those students with long-term counseling needs or serious problems, such as personality disorders which require special treatment, are referred to appropriate agencies.
On-line Counseling: Students may receive most counseling services at home. They may connect to the Internet and access the following URL: http://www.faytechcc.edu/stuserv/counseling/online.htm. Students can enter their request and expect a reply within 24-48 hours. This
service does not include personal counseling.
FACULTY ADVISEMENT
The Faculty Advisory System at Fayetteville Technical Community College is an integral
part of the instructional and student development programs of the college. There are two (2)
primary components of faculty advising. They are developmental and prescriptive advising.
Effective advisors master both. Developmental advising includes: projecting enthusiasm for the
role as advisor; responding to non-verbal communication; providing a caring and personal relationship by exhibiting a positive attitude toward advisees and their concerns; planning a reasonable schedule; assisting with academic problems, including study habits, appropriate course
45
�load, and career objectives; and referring advisees to special services and/or counseling as
needed.
Prescriptive advising includes: possessing and effectively providing accurate information
about FTCC’s policies, procedures, resources, and academic programs; placing emphasis on the
students’ academic development and their progress toward fulfilling the requirements of their
Educational Plan; assisting with student scheduling and registration; reviewing with the advisee
his or her Graduation Progress and Graduation Summary Report; providing timely feedback;
and utilizing appropriate institutional technology and software.
FORT BRAGG AND POPE AIR FORCE BASE, STUDENT SERVICES
The Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base Student Services offices provide full-service, one-stop,
quality customer service to our Military Communities in a courteous and professional manner.
HEALTH SERVICES
Health services at FTCC are handled by the Health Services Coordinator. Each shop and lab
is equipped with first-aid kits. Basic first aid is available. Students are referred to an area health
care facility when treatment is required. Health counseling is provided by a trained staff member. The Health Services Coordinator will act as a referral agent as necessary.
JOB PLACEMENT
The Placement Office is available year round to assist graduates entering the job market. The
Placement Office maintains placement records on students, initiates contacts with prospective
employers, arranges and coordinates job interviews between students and employer representatives, and maintains current information on employment opportunities including salaries.
Follow-up studies of FTCC graduates are conducted yearly in order to provide current information on graduate placement, including type of employment, geographic location, and salary
scale.
LEARNING RESOURCES CENTER
The Learning Resources Center contains a collection of carefully selected printed and nonprinted materials to support and enrich instruction. Components of the Learning Resources
Center are the Library, the Learning Laboratory, and Media Services.
46
�The Library provides excellent facilities for study, research, browsing, self-improvement,
and enjoyment. The Library houses over 50,000 volumes of books and subscribes to several
electronic indexes as well as 300 current magazines and newspapers. Back issues of periodicals
are available in bound volumes, unbound issues, and on microfilm. Audiovisual software, such
as film, filmstrips, records, cassette tapes, slides, and microfilms are available in the Library, as is
the space and equipment necessary to use these materials. The Library also has available for students use electric typewriters and copying machines. The Library has the capacity to provide
computerized literature searches of the Dialog databases. The staff is always ready to instruct
students in the use of the automated catalog and to assist them in finding information here or at
other institutions through interlibrary loans.
The Learning Lab/Skills Lab is a service facility available to the student body and any adult
in the community. The Lab offers a wide selection of subjects and materials in a variety of formats including computer software, cassettes, filmstrips, and texts. The Learning Lab/Skills Lab
supports courses and programs on campus and in the community. It is an excellent place to prepare for any academic endeavor or to get assistance in current studies. The Learning Lab offers
several state approved courses for teacher renewal credit. This comprehensive facility specializes
in individualized teaching at the level of need.
Media Services provides a qualified staff and excellent facilities to support the instructional
programs with materials production and equipment. Equipment that circulates is controlled
through Media Services. Students in need of assistance for class assignments, projects, or presentations should contact Media Services through an instructor.
The Learning Resources Center has a seating capacity of over 300 with study arrangements
to meet student needs. The Learning Resources Center strives to make available all types of
media for enjoyment, enrichment, and instructional purposes for the student body, the faculty,
the staff of Fayetteville Technical Community College, and the community.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The college recognizes its responsibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
to provide equal access to education for students with disabilities. Support services are available
to the hearing impaired, visually impaired, orthopedically handicapped, learning disabled, and
other health impaired individuals. Please note the following:
1. Students who feel that they need accommodations due to a disability or handicap must
complete a “Special Populations Student Intake” form indicating the nature of their disability.
2. Students who have identified themselves as having special needs may make a request for
special accommodations to the Special Populations Counselor or the Director of Counseling Services. New students should make such requests at least 30 days prior to the beginning
of their first term of enrollment at the College. Continuing students should communicate
47
�their needs to the Special Populations Counselor immediately upon the discovery of the
need. Early communication of special needs provides the time needed to arrange for services and/or the procurement of equipment that may be needed by a student.
3. Students must arrange to provide supporting documentation upon request. Federal regulations obligate the student to provide information on identifying appropriate and effective
auxiliary aids.
4. Each request will be evaluated by the Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director of
Counseling, who will recommend any modifications to the educational plan that are essential to satisfactory completion of course requirements by the student according to the ADA
guidelines.
5. The Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director of Counseling will provide the
student with a “Disabled Student Enrollment” form which lists recommended services
and/or accommodations. This document is to be used to inform college faculty and staff of
authorized accommodations. For further information and assistance, contact the Special
Populations Counselor.
Reasonable Accommodations
The following are considered reasonable accommodations to be made for students with disabilities:
1. The process must be an interactive one involving “a reasonable reciprocal effort” on the part
of both parties.
2. The College may not make a unilateral decision regarding the existence of a disability or the
accommodation that is necessary.
3. What is “reasonable” involves a detailed analysis of the specific circumstances of the case in
question. Broad generalizations are not acceptable. An “individualized assessment” of the
student’s situation must be conducted.
4. The college is not required to provide specifically what the student requests. An alternative
accommodation may be provided if it is effective.
5. The College does not have to provide accommodations that are not effective. The College
has a right to refuse to provide auxiliary aids and services that do not in fact provide meaningful access.
6. The College must be given a reasonable amount of time to evaluate requests and to offer the
necessary accommodations.
7. The College does not have to provide accommodations that will impose an “undue administrative or financial burden”.
8. Challenges to student’s requests must clearly involve substantive questions regarding the
manifestations of the disability of the nature of the accommodations requested. Mere
administrative expedience or philosophical differences of opinions cannot be used as a justification for denying reasonable accommodations.
48
�9. Determining what is reasonable requires one to balance two important rights: the student’s
rights to be provided meaningful access and the College’s right to protect the integrity of its
programs and services.
STUDENT HOUSING
Housing arrangements are the student’s responsibility. As a member of the North Carolina
Department of Community Colleges, FTCC does not provide student housing. Assistance is
available in locating living arrangements in the community. Students in need of housing should
contact the Student Activities Office in the Student Center. The college assumes no responsibility in any financial arrangement between the student and the landlord. Financial arrangements
for rooms are on an individual basis between the student and the landlord.
THE CRIME AWARENESS AND CAMPUS SECURITY ACT OF 1990
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, requires all institutions of higher education that receive federal funding to collect all incidents of certain crimes that occur on- and offcampus and publish the data in an annual report for review by all interested personnel. A copy
of the FTCC Annual Security Report is maintained on file in the Campus Library and the Campus Safety and Security Office.
VETERANS SERVICES OFFICE
The FTCC Veterans Services Office (VSO) serves as the interface for veterans and eligible family members seeking access to educational benefits provided by the Veterans Administration. As
such, it is the responsibility of the VSO to provide counseling, clarification of VA regulations,
and certification for pay to the appropriate Department of Veterans Administration office.
49
�ACADEMIC LIFE
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Credits
1. All curricular students receive semester-hour credit for courses which they successfully
complete.
2.
The Board of Trustees of Fayetteville Technical Community College has been authorized
by the North Carolina Board of Community Colleges to award the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science Degree, Associate Degree in General Education,
the Diploma, and the Certificate upon successful completion of curricular requirements.
3. Fayetteville Technical Community College has structured its curricula, of both one and two
years’ duration, on a post-secondary level and grants credit on a semester-hour basis.
Instruction in all curricula is post-secondary and requires students to be capable of study
beyond the high school equivalency level for success. The curricula are designed on a
semester-hour basis to include general education areas which require extra out-of-class
preparation each term. Each class, lab, and shop session is of 50 minutes duration and
requires a minimum of outside preparation of two hours for each classroom session, one
hour for each lab session and additional outside preparation for shop sessions.
Semester-hour credit is granted on a basis of one credit to three sessions of shop, one credit
to two sessions of lab, and one credit to each classroom session of weekly attendance and
one credit to ten hours of cooperative work experience or practicum.
4.
Students with academic deficiencies who require remedial work as background preparation may enroll in developmental studies courses. Developmental studies courses carry
credit hours for institutional accounting purposes only and are not counted as credit hours
toward graduation in any of the curricula.
Course Repeat Policy and Procedures
A student may repeat for credit or audit any curriculum course one time in an effort to earn a
higher grade and/or to add to his/her mastery of course content. If a student petitions for
another attempt through the appropriate Dean, a third and final attempt may be granted based
on documented major extenuating circumstances. When a course is repeated, the last grade
earned (A, B, C, D, F, and WF) will be counted in determining the hours earned and in determining the grade point average at Fayetteville Technical Community College. However, all
grades will be recorded on the student’s official transcript. Grades of withdrawal passing (WP)
and audit (AU) are not calculated in the GPA, but they will be considered as a repeat grade.
50
�A student who earns a deficient grade (“D,” “F” or “WF”) in a required course two times
must see a counselor. Specific program requirements for academic progress are outlined in the
College catalog (i.e., Health occupations curriculums, Funeral Service Education, and Paralegal
Technology).
The University of North Carolina System and other colleges or universities require that a
student earn a grade of “C” or better in each transfer course completed. A student planning to
transfer should realize that receiving institutions do not have consistent policies regarding grade
forgiveness. Admissions personnel will review the transcripts of transfer applicants and may
recompute grade point averages to include the grade originally assigned, or compute all grades
assigned at Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Note to students receiving VA assistance: Two attempts will be the maximum allowed for
counting a course as part of a student’s credit hour load for determining eligibility. Veterans who
wish to repeat courses, for which a passing grade (D or higher) has been earned, will not receive
educational benefits for repeating those courses.
Note to students receiving Title IV Financial Aid: All attempted classes will be counted toward
academic progress.
Note to students interested in a health program: Previously completed science courses must
have been satisfactorily completed with a grade of “C” or better within five years of entry in a
health program. These courses may be attempted only twice. The appropriate health department chairperson through the Dean of Health Programs may approve exceptions.
Effective: Fall term 2001
Revised: February 2003
Course Repeat Procedures. These procedures apply to all students at FTCC.
Step 1: The request for course repeat must be initiated by the student and directed to the Registrar. All requests must be initiated prior to the end of the final term of enrollment (i.e., at
the end of the fall term if graduating at the end of the spring term). Students applying
for health programs must make the request prior to the January 30 deadline. The
“Course Repeat” form is available in the Registrar’s office.
A student may petition in writing to the Associate Vice President for Curriculum Programs
to have grades which are at least seven years old forgiven.
The Vice President for Academic and Student Services must approve exceptions to this policy.
51
�Classification of Students
Full-time student: A student enrolled for 12 or more semester hours. (Summer semester: 9
credit hours)*
Part-time student: A student enrolled for fewer than 12 semester hours. (Summer semester: 9
credit hours)*
Freshman: A student who has fewer than the number of semester hours required for the first
two terms.
Sophomore: A student who has accumulated credits of 30 or more total credit hours.
* Financial aid recipients registered during the summer semester will need 12 semester credit
hours for full PELL awards. VA requirements may vary. See the VSO.
Schedule Adjustments and Withdrawals
A. Students may add a class within the first five school days (three days for 8-week or 9-week
terms) of any term if the class has not met.
B. Once a student has duly enrolled in a class and paid the registration fee, the student shall
maintain membership in said class, until one of the following occurs:
1. Student Withdrawal – He or she officially withdraws. This constitutes student withdrawal from the College and is effective as of that date.
2. Administrative Withdrawal
a. He or she ceases attending class. Students who are absent for more than percent of
the scheduled class sessions may be dropped from the class rolls.
b. The responsible instructional personnel are reasonably assured that the student does
not intend to pursue the learning activities of the class. This constitutes administrative withdrawal and is effective as of that date.
c. He/she completes the minimum objectives stated for the class or transfers to another
class.
C A student may drop a class as late as the 30 percent date of the term without penalty. The
transcript will indicate a “W.” Students who drop between the 30 percent date of the term
and the 80 percent date will receive a grade of “WP” or “WF”, depending on the student’s
average on all course requirements. Course requirements/tests missed in the remainder of
the class will be averaged into the final grade as zero.
D. A student who wishes to withdraw after the 30 percent date of the term must complete a
“Registration Change” form, have it initialed by the faculty member, and present it to the
Registrar before an official withdrawal can be recorded.
E. Students who are dropped for excessive absences prior to the 30 percent point of the class
will be assigned a grade of “W.”
F. Failure to withdraw properly will jeopardize the student’s right to re-enroll at a later date.
G. Students receiving Financial Aid or VA Educational benefits should confer with personnel in
those offices before dropping classes or withdrawing from the College.
52
�GRADING PROCEDURES
FTCC grades are based on a 4.0 grading system. Each grade is assigned a “grade-point equivalent” in quality points for each term credit hour scheduled. The scholastic point average is
determined by dividing the total of quality points earned by the number of term hours scheduled.
Numerical Grade
93 – 100
85 – 92
77 – 84
70 -76
0 – 69
Grade
A – Excellent
B – Good
C – Average
D – Below Average
F – Failure
I – Incomplete
Grade Point Equivalent
4 grade points for each credit hour
3 grade points for each credit hour
2 grade points for each credit hour
1 grade point for each credit hour
0 grade point
After eight (8)weeks for 16 week classes
and 4 weeks for 8 or 9 week classes, the
grade becomes an “F”
AU – Audit (No Credit)
No effect on grade point average
P – Proficiency
No effect on grade point average
S – Satisfactory
No effect on grade point average
T – Transfer
No effect on grade point average
U – Unsatisfactory
No effect on grade point average
W – Withdrew
No effect on grade point average
W* – Withdrew
No effect on grade point average
W/F – Withdrew Failing
0 grade point
W/P – Withdrew Passing
No effect on grade point average
I (Incomplete) may be given at the discretion of the instructor when all course requirements
have not been met. After eight weeks from the beginning of the next term, an incomplete
grade in a sixteen-week class becomes an “F.” After four weeks from the beginning of the
next term, an incomplete grade in an eight or nine-week class becomes an “F.”
P (Proficiency) by examination may be given after a preliminary screening test given by the
department chairperson after the student has registered for the course. This process must be
completed within the first four days of the sixteen-week term and the first three days of an
eight or a nine-week course.
AU (Audit) requests must be made at the first class session. The intent of the AU is to allow students to take courses for no credit. Forms must be obtained from the Registrar’s Office and
be signed by both student and instructor during the first five days of the 16-week term and
the first three days of an eight or nine week term. Developmental classes may not be
audited. To receive the AU, the student must meet all course requirements.
53
�S
(Satisfactory) is the grade given for the successful completion of certain required courses
(i.e., ACA 115 or ACA 111).
T (Transfer) credit is granted for courses completed at other regionally accredited community
colleges, colleges, and universities.
U (Unsatisfactory) is the grade given for unsatisfactory completion of certain required courses
(i.e., ACA 115 or ACA 111).
U* (Unsatisfactory) is the grade given for unsatisfactory completion of remedial courses.
W (Withdrew) is the grade given when a student may drop courses after the 10 percent date of
the term, but before the 30 percent date of the term. No penalty is involved.
W* (Withdrew) is the grade given when a student may drop courses on or before the 10 percent
date of the courses. No penalty is involved.
WP (Withdrew Passing) is the grade given when withdrawals or drops occur between the 30
percent date of the term and the 80 percent date if the student’s average in the class is equivalent to a passing grade.
WF(Withdrew Failing) is the grade given when a student’s average in a class is equivalent to a
failing grade and the withdrawal or drop occur between the 30 percent date of the term and
the 80 percent date of the term.
Students will receive their grades in the mail, so be sure
to report any change of addresses to the Registrar’s
Office immediately.
All final course grades will be letter grades in accordance with the adopted grading system.
Student grade reports are mailed at the end of each term.
All students must have at least a 2.0 grade point average (major and cumulative GPA) and
have passed all curricular subjects as listed in the course outline under which they entered to be
eligible for graduation. They must also meet the grade level needed in major subjects required
to take licensure examinations.
Health occupations curricula, Funeral Service Education, and Paralegal Technology require
course grades of C or better in order to progress to the next course/term. Each department area
will issue to the student in written form the necessary information to cover such grading policies. Students who request transfers to other degree curricula are expected to have maintained a
2.0 GPA on all courses completed including prerequisite courses.
54
�DEVELOPMENTAL COURSE GRADING SYSTEM
Courses numbered below 100 are developmental courses. The following grades are assigned
for developmental courses: A, B, C, or U. Students who receive a grade of “U” (Unsatisfactory
Progress) will be required to re-take the course.
Developmental course grades are not counted as credit towards graduation, nor are they calculated into the student’s cumulative Grade Point Average.
STANDARDS OF PROGRESS
Academic Standards
The College requires that students maintain a cumulative and/or major grade point average
of 2.00 or better in order to meet institutional standards of progress and be eligible for graduation.
Academic Probation
Students enrolled in a curriculum program will be placed on Academic Probation if any of
the following conditions occur:
1. Major GPA is below 2.0
2. Failure to successfully complete 50 percent of credit hours attempted for two consecutive
terms
3. Special credit students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better.
Note: All students are responsible for being aware of any additional departmental requirements.
To be removed from Academic Probation, a student must attend mandatory counseling sessions and achieve a major GPA of 2.00 while completing 50 percent of the credit hours
attempted. Students on probation should not enroll in accelerated sessions (8 or 9-week sessions) without advisor approval. A student on academic probation would be eligible to continue
enrollment for no more than 24 semester hours.
A student enrolled in developmental coursework must attend mandatory counseling sessions and successfully complete required developmental courses with a grade of “C” or better.
Students on Academic Probation may not enroll in any course requiring a developmental prerequisite without first completing the developmental course(s).
A student simultaneously enrolled in developmental coursework and major courses will be
placed on Academic Probation if either condition above occurs or if the student fails to complete a required developmental course with a grade of “C” or better.
55
�Academic Suspension
Students failing to remove themselves from Academic Probation after attempting 24 semester hours will be placed on Academic Suspension for a minimum of one semester. Academic
Suspension means a student may not enroll in any credit courses offered by FTCC during the
suspension period.
Appeal of Academic Suspension
To be removed from Academic Suspension and continue in the same program, a student
must apply for readmission through the Director of Admissions and be approved by the department chairperson in order to re-enroll. When readmitted to the same program, a student will be
placed on Academic Probation and must achieve a 2.0 GPA for the coursework attempted while
successfully completing at least 50 percent of the credit attempted. Students who do not achieve
these requirements will be dismissed from the college as ineligible to re-enter that same curriculum program. Students may also be readmitted to the college by redirection of program
through counseling.
Appeals of the decision of the department chair or Director of Admissions may be made to
the appropriate program area dean. All appeals must be in writing and received no later than
five days from the time of notification of the readmission decision. Students placed on academic
suspension may be allowed to continue attending class until the appeal has been resolved. The
decision of the dean in matters of academic probation and academic suspension is final and not
subject to further appeal.

making special adjustments for students who fail to file applications by the designated time.
A candidate who fails to file an application for graduation or meet graduation requirements
by the designated date automatically voids his candidacy for that particular graduation.

Course Substitutions. In special circumstances, a student may apply to his or her advisor for
approval for a course substitution. The course used as a substitute must have academic relevance to both the course it replaces and the curriculum. Technical and skills-based courses must
have been completed within the last seven years. The substitution will be made on an individual
basis and will apply only to the curriculum in which the student is enrolled. Substitution of
courses for graduation purposes is limited to ten percent of the total credit hours required to
graduate and must be approved by the department chairperson and the program area dean. All
exceptions to the ten percent limit must be approved by the Associate Vice President for Student
Services.
Prior to enrollment in the course to be used as a substitute, a completed Course Substitution
Form must be received by the Registrar’s office.* All course substitutions will be made upon the
recommendation of the advisor, with endorsements by the department chairperson, division
58
�chair, and curriculum program dean. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Vice
President for Academic and Student Services.
* Students receiving assistance from the Veterans Administrations must have prior approval to
make course substitutions from the Veterans’ Services Officer. Electives taken by students under VA
educational benefits may exceed the total required hours of a curriculum only by the hours of
the last elective taken to fulfill those requirements.
STUDENT OBLIGATIONS
Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance is an essential part of the educational process; therefore, absences
must be kept to a minimum. While stressing regular attendance, FTCC simultaneously desires
to allow students to develop a real sense of personal responsibility toward their studies. This
policy has been established for the benefit of students who are forced, because of reasons
beyond their control, to miss classes.
1. Students who add a course after the first day of the class are responsible for all materials
covered from the beginning of the course.
2. Instructors are encouraged to refer students with excessive absences to the Counseling
Office.
3. Each student is expected to attend class regularly—at least 80 percent of all scheduled contact hours.
4. If absences exceed 20 percent, the faculty member may drop the student from the course, or
if the student is performing acceptably, he or she may be allowed to continue in the course
under conditions set by the instructor.
5. Tardy students interrupt the beginning of a class meeting. If a student enters the class after
the faculty member has started the class, the student shall be recorded as being tardy. Three
tardies shall be counted as one absence.
6. No absence, for any reason, shall excuse a student from an announced test or other assigned
activity. Make-up of any tests or work missed shall be at the discretion of the faculty member.
7. Each student dropped may submit a request through the Director of Counseling for review
by the Student Appeals Committee.
8. The following programs and departments have special attendance policies which will be
distributed to the students during the first week of classes: Associate Degree Nursing, BLET,
Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Emergency Medical Science, Emergency Medical Technician (Continuing Education), Nursing Assistant (Continuing Education), Pharmacy Technology, Phlebotomy, Physical Therapist Assistant, Practical Nursing, Radiography,
Respiratory Care, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, and Surgical Technology.
59
�9. The following programs require that a student complete the stated course work with a grade

�STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND
JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the FTCC academic community,
students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic conditions in the
classroom, on the campus, and in the community. Students should exercise their freedom with
responsibility. As members of the FTCC academic community, students are subject to the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. As members of the larger community of which the College is a part, students are entitled to all rights and protection accorded
them by the laws of that community.
By the same token, students are also subject to all laws, whether on campus or off campus,
the enforcement of which is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When students
violate laws, they may incur penalties prescribed by legal authorities. In such instances, College
discipline will be initiated only when the presence of the student on campus will disrupt the
educational process of the College. However, when a student’s violation of the law also adversely
affects the College’s pursuit of its recognized educational objectives, the College may enforce its
own regulations. When students violate College regulations, they are subject to disciplinary
action by the College whether or not their conduct violates the law. If a student’s behavior
simultaneously violates both College regulations and the law, the College may take disciplinary
action independent of that taken by legal authorities.
STUDENT RIGHTS
1. All rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution of the United States
and by the state of North Carolina shall not be denied any student.
2. Within limitations, students are free to pursue their educational goals. Appropriate opportunities for learning in the classroom and on the campus shall be provided for by the college. Student performance will be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or
conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards.
3. Students have the right to freedom of expression, inquiry, and assembly subject to reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations regarding time, place, and manner.
4. Students have the right to inquire about and to propose improvements in policies, regulations and procedures affecting the welfare of students through established student government procedures, campus committees, and college offices.
61
�5. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 provides safeguards regarding the
confidentiality of an access to student records, ad this Act will be adhered to by the College.
Students and former students have the right to review their official records and to request a
hearing if they challenge the contents of these records. No records shall be made available to
unauthorized personnel or groups outside the College without the written consent of the
student involved, except under legal compulsion.
6. No disciplinary sanctions other than removal from class or activity (only for duration of said
activity) may be imposed upon any student without due process. Due process procedures
are established to guarantee a student accused of a Student Code of Conduct violation the
right of a hearing, a presentation of charges, evidence for charges, the right to present evidence, the right to have witnesses on one’s behalf and to hear witnesses on behalf of the
accuser(s), and the right of appeal.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment for students and staff. Therefore, when in the judgment of College officials, a student’s conduct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College community, appropriate disciplinary action will be
taken to restore and protect the orderliness of the FTCC community.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with generally accepted standards of scholarship and conduct. The purpose of this code is not to restrict student rights but
to protect the rights of individuals in their academic pursuits.
The following regulations set forth rules of conduct which prohibit certain types of student
behavior. Violation of one or more of the following regulations may result in disciplinary sanctions by the College and/or legal sanctions:
1. Academic Dishonesty – taking or acquiring possession of any academic material (test information, research papers, notes, etc.) from a member of the College staff or student body
without permission; receiving or giving help during tests; submitting papers or reports (that
are supposed to be original work) that are not entirely the student’s own, except in cases of
group assignments; not giving credit for others’ work (plagiarism).
2. Theft of, misuse of, or damage to College property, or theft of or damage to property of a
member of the College community or a campus visitor on College premises or at College
functions; unauthorized entry upon the property of the College or into a College facility or
a portion thereof which has been restricted in use and thereby placed off limits; unauthorized presence in a College facility after closing hours.
3. Possession of or use of alcoholic beverages or being in a state of intoxication on the College
campus or at College sponsored or supervised functions off campus or in College owned
vehicles. Possession, use or distribution of any illegal drugs, except as expressly permitted by
62
�law. Any influence which may be attributed to the use of drugs or of alcoholic beverages
shall not in any way limit the responsibility of the individual for the consequences of his/her
actions.
4. Lewd or indecent conduct, including public physical or verbal action or distribution of
obscene or libelous written material on the FTCC campus.
5. Mental or physical abuse of any person on College premises or at College sponsored or College supervised functions, including verbal or physical actions which threaten or endanger
the health or safety of any such persons.
6. Any unwelcome verbal or physical act or behavior which is of a sexually suggestive or
harassing nature and which in any way interferes with the student’s or an employee’s performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.
7. Intentional obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration or disciplinary
proceedings, or other College activities, including public service functions, and other duly
authorized activities on College premises.
8. Occupation or seizure in any manner of College property, a College facility or any portion
thereof for a use inconsistent with prescribed, customary, or authorized use.
9. Participating in or conducting an assembly, demonstration, or gathering in a manner which
threatens or causes injury to person or property; which interferes with free access to ingress
or egress of College facilities; which is obstructive or disruptive to the education process or
institutional functions of the College; remaining at the scene of such an assembly after being
asked to leave by a representative of the College staff.
10. Possession or use of a firearm, or other deadly weapon, incendiary device or explosive,
except in connection with a College-approved activity. (This also includes unauthorized use
of any instrument.)
11. Setting off a fire alarm, or using, or tampering with any fire safety equipment, except with
reasonable belief in the need for such alarm or equipment.
12. Gambling.
13. Smoking and/or using other forms of tobacco products in classrooms, shops, and labs or
other unauthorized areas.
14. Violation of College regulations regarding the operation and parking of motor vehicles.
15. Forgery, alteration, or misuse of College documents, records, or instruments of identification with intent to deceive.
16 Failure to comply with instructions of College officials acting in performance of their duties.
17. Violation of the terms of disciplinary probation or any College regulation during the period
of probation.
18. Fiscal irresponsibility such as failure to pay College levied fines, failure to repay College
funded loans, or the passing of worthless checks to College officials.
19. Violation of a local, state, or federal criminal law on College premises adversely affecting the
College community’s pursuit of its proper educational purposes.
20. Students must not engage directly in, or aid or abet in, acts such as the playing of radios,
63
�stereos, and tape players or the personal use of loud, threatening or obscene language which
disrupts, disturbs, or interferes with the peace, order or discipline while on College property
or attending College activities.
21. Minors under age sixteen (16), unless enrolled as an FTCC student, must not be left unattended on campus at any time. Without college authorization, minors under age sixteen (16)
are not allowed in classrooms, labs, shops, or other instructional areas.
22. This Student Code of Conduct is not all-inclusive. Other conduct which is disruptive may
be subject to appropriate sanctions.
Computer Use Guidelines
Fayetteville Technical Community College employees, students, staff and other authorized users
may not use or distribute personally owned software on FTCC computers or local area network.
Employees are not permitted to copy software from FTCC computers and install it on home or
any other computer without the expressed written permission of the license owner.
A variety of software is available on the Internet. Some of this software, called “Freeware” or
“Shareware’ is available, free of charge, for limited use and may be downloaded to FTCC’s computers with prior written approval of the MIS Department. Other software available on the
Internet and from other electronic sources, however, requires the user to obtain a license for its
use, sometimes for a fee. No employee shall download such software to FTCC computers without prior written approval of the MIS Department.
College owned or operated computing resources are for the use of faculty, students, staff,
and other authorized individuals. Users must exercise responsible, ethical behavior when using
these resources. The College does not attempt to articulate all required or unacceptable behavior by its users. Therefore, individuals are expected to use good judgment in using computer
resources. To assist in such judgment, the following guidelines have been developed:
1. Computing resources and access accounts are to be used only for the purpose for which they
are assigned and are not to be used for commercial purposes or non-college related activities.
2. FTCC students may use any computer software licensed to the College for instructional purposes. This software will be available for use in the designated Open Computer Lab on a
first-come first-served basis. Priority may be given to students currently registered for
classes requiring computer use.
3. An access account assigned to an individual must not be used by others. Individuals are
responsible for the proper use of their accounts, including proper password protection and
appropriate use of Internet resources. Allowing friends, family or co-workers to use the
account is a serious violation of these guidelines.
64
�4. All computer software is protected by the federal copyright law and most is proprietary and
protected by legal licensing agreements in addition to the copyright law. The user is responsible for being aware of the licensing restrictions for the software used on any system.
5. Individuals shall not engage in activities which damage or disrupt hardware or communication such as virus creation and propagation, wasting system resources, and overloading networks with excessive data.
6. Individuals shall not monopolize or misuse system resources, for example, by requesting
multiple copies from printers or by playing games.
7. Individuals shall not create, display, transmit or make accessible threatening, racist, sexist,
obscene, offensive, annoying or harassing language and/or material, including broadcasting
unsolicited messages or sending unwanted mail.
8. Individuals shall not intentionally access or damage systems or information such as College
records, or use any system for illegal activities.
9. Failure to follow the acceptable use guidelines may result in the suspension or revoking of
access accounts or other College disciplinary action.
Possession of Weapons on Campus
Possession of weapons on campus or at any FTCC class, site, activity, or program is a violation
of North Carolina State Law (GS 14- 269.2).
The following applies:
1. It shall be a Class I Felony for any person to possess or carry, whether openly or concealed,
any gun, rifle, pistol, or other firearm of any kind, or any dynamite cartridge, bomb,
grenade, mine or powerful explosive on campus or at any FTCC class, site, activity, or program.
2. It shall be a misdemeanor for any person to possess or carry, whether openly or concealed,
any BB gun, air rifle, air pistol, Bowie knife, dirk, dagger, slingshot, leaded cane, switchblade
knife, blackjack, metallic knuckles, razors and razor blades, and any sharp-pointed or edged
instruments except instructional supplies, unaltered nail files and tools used solely for
preparation of food, instruction, and maintenance on campus or at any FTCC class site,
activity, or program. Any person found to be in violation of the law will be referred to the
local area law enforcement authorities for appropriate legal action.
3. Students who violate the law will be suspended immediately for a minimum of one full
term. A student is identified as any person currently enrolled in continuing education class
(es), or curriculum class (es), whether the person is an adult or a minor.
4. Students in violation of this policy may be placed on permanent expulsion when one of the
following occurs:
65
�a.
b.
c.
d.
possession of a firearm on campus
repeat offense on campus or any FTCC class site, activity, or program
subsequent conviction of a violation of the law
use of a weapon to harm or threaten another individual
DISCIPLINARY ACTION
Immediate Suspension
If an act of misconduct threatens the health or safety of any member of the academic community or seriously disrupts the function and good order of the College, an instructor or
administrative officer may direct the student(s) involved to cease and desist such conduct and
advise them that failing to cease and desist will result in immediate suspension. The instructor
may suspend the student(s) from that class until further notice. An administrative officer may
suspend the student(s) from either the class or the College until a resolution of the matter can be
made. Disruptive behavior may include, but not be limited to, obscene and/or disruptive language, threatening actions, and blocking or restricting access to College classes, offices, and programs.
The instructor or administrative officer invoking such suspension shall notify the Program
Area Dean/Director in writing of the individual(s) involved and the nature of the infraction as
soon as possible but no more than two days following the incident. The Dean or Director shall
resolve the matter in a timely fashion utilizing the steps outlined below.
Responsibility for Implementation
The program area dean is responsible for implementing student discipline procedures.
Disciplinary Procedures
In order to provide an orderly procedure for handling student disciplinary cases in accordance with due process and justice, the following procedures will be followed:
1. Charges: Any administrative official, faculty/staff member, or student may file charges with
the FTCC Security Office against any student or student organization for violations of College regulations. The individual(s) making the charge must complete a charge form stating:
a. name of the student(s) involved,
b. the alleged violation of the specific Code of Conduct,
c. the time, place, and date of the incident,
d. names of person(s) directly involved or witnesses to the infractions,
e. any action taken that relates to the matter, and
f. desired solution(s).
The completed charge form should be forwarded directly to the Dean or Director.
2. Investigation and Decision: Within five (5) working days after the charge is filed, Security
shall complete a preliminary investigation of the charge and the program Area Dean shall
66
�schedule a meeting with the student. After discussing the alleged infraction with the
student, the dean may act as follows:
a. drop the charges,
b. impose a sanction consistent with those shown below, and/or
c. refer the student to a College office or community agency for services.
3. Notification: The decision of the Dean/Director shall be presented to the student in writing
or mailed within five (5) working days. In instances where the student cannot be reached to
schedule an appointment with the Dean/Director or where the student refuses to cooperate,
the dean shall send a certified letter to the student’s last known address providing the
student with a list of charges, the Dean’s/Director’s decision, and instructions governing the
appeal process.
Sanctions
1. Reprimand: A written communication which gives official notice to the student that any
subsequent offense against the Student Code of Conduct will carry heavier penalties
because of this prior infraction.
2. General Probation: An individual may be placed on General Probation when involved in a
minor disciplinary offense. General Probation has two (2) important implications: the individual is given a change to show capability and willingness to observe the Student Code of
Conduct without further penalty; secondly, if the individual errs again, further action will
be taken. This probation will be in effect for no more than two (2) terms.
3. Restrictive Probation: Restrictive Probation results in loss of good standing and becomes a
matter of record. Restrictive conditions may limit activity in the college community. Generally, the individual will not be eligible for initiation into any local or national organization
and may not receive any college award or other honorary recognition. The individual may
not occupy a position of leadership with any college or student organization or activity. This
probation will be in effect for not less than two (2) terms. Any violation of Restrictive Probation may result in immediate SUSPENSION.
4. Restitution: Paying for damaging, misusing, destroying or losing property belonging to the
College, College personnel, or students.
5. Interim Suspension: Exclusion from class and/or other privileges or activities as set forth in
the notice, until a final decision has been made concerning the alleged violation.
6. Loss of Academic Credit or Grade: Imposed as a result of academic dishonesty.
7. Withholding grade reports, diploma, or right to register or participate in graduation ceremonies: Imposed when financial obligations are not met.
8. Suspension: Exclusion from class (es), and/or all other privileges or activities of the college
for a specified period of time. This sanction is reserved for those offenses warranting discipline more severe than probation or for repeated misconduct. Students who receive this
sanction must get specific written permission from the dean before returning to campus.
67
�9. Expulsion: Dismissing a student from campus for an indefinite period losing student status.
The student may be readmitted to the College only with the approval of the Vice President
for Academic Affairs.
10. Group Probation: This is given to a College club or other organized group for a specified
period of time. If group violations are repeated during the term of the sentence, the charter
may be revoked or activities restricted.
11. Group Restriction: Removing College recognition during the term in which the offense
occurred or for a longer period (usually not more than one other term). While under
restriction, the group may not seek or add members, hold or sponsor events in the College
community, or engage in other activities as specified.
12. Group Charter Revocation: Removal of College recognition for a group, club, society, or
other organizations for a minimum of two years. Recharter after that time must be approved
by the President.
APPEALS AND DUE PROCESS
Students subject to administrative decisions affecting their right to attend classes are entitled to
due process. Due process includes, but is not limited to the following considerations:
1. The student must be informed of any charges made against him or her that may result in
administrative action.
2. The student must be advised in writing of the administrative action taken.
3. The student will be advised of corrective action required.
4. The student is entitled to an appeal as herein provided. The appeals process described in the

re-entering a program are made by the counselor conducting the admissions interview. Appeals
of admissions decisions are referred to the Director of Admissions. Decisions of the Director of
Admissions may be appealed to the Associate Vice President for Student Services in writing no
later than ten (10) college days after the date of the Director of Admissions’ letter. The Associate
Vice President for Student Services will confer with the department chairperson and respond to
the student within five (5) working days. Decisions of the Associate Vice President for Student
Services are final.
68
�Attendance Problems
Students with excessive absences are dropped by the instructor according to guidelines published in the Student Handbook. They should be referred to the curriculum program counselor.
1. Appeals of attendance decisions should be made first to the department chairperson and
then to the program area dean. Further appeals of administrative withdrawal from class for
attendance will be made in writing no later than five (5) college days to the FTCC Student
Appeals Committee through the Director of Counseling.
2. The decisions of the FTCC Student Appeals Committee are referred to the Associate Vice
President for Student Services as recommendations. The Associate Vice President for
Student Services will review the case, consider the recommendation, reach a decision, and
notify the student involved of the resulting decision as soon as possible, but no later than
three (3) College days from the receipt of the recommendation of the Student Appeals Committee.
3. If the student wishes to appeal the decision of the Associate Vice President for Student Services, the appeal must be in writing and addressed to the Vice President for Academic and
Student Services. Thereafter, the route of appeal is to the President and then to the Board of
Trustees. Decisions of the Board of Trustees are final.
4. Students placed on suspension for attendance problems may be allowed to continue attending class until the appeal has been resolved.
Grades
Grading is the prerogative of the faculty member. Appeals concerning grades must be
directed to that faculty member. Failing to reach a satisfactory solution, the student may appeal
in accordance with the outline below. The appeal of a grade must be initiated prior to the end of
the next regular term.
1. The student shall present the appeal to the chairperson of the department within which the
protested grade was awarded. The chairperson shall, by conferring with the student and the
faculty member, seek resolution by mutual agreement.
2. Failing to reach a resolution, the department chairperson will transmit the appeal to the
appropriate program area dean or director who may convene the Academic Review Committee.
3. The Academic Review Committee will consist of the convening dean or director and four
faculty members appointed by the dean. If the committee affirms the faculty member’s
decision, the dean or director will notify in writing the faculty member, the student, and the
department chairperson. If the committee supports the student’s appeal, it shall prescribe
the method by which the student will be re-evaluated. The resulting grade must be submitted within college guidelines and may not be further appealed.
4. A grade appeal that is presented after the term immediately following the term in which the
grade was earned must be presented in writing to the Associate Vice President for Curriculum Programs. The Vice President for Academic and Student Services must approve a rec-
69
�ommendation for a grade change at this point. No grade change will be made without
approval of the faculty member.
5. Grades may not be appealed after one calendar year from the time the final course grade was
recorded on the official class roster, unless extenuating circumstances justify the change.
Academic Probation and Suspension
Students who fail to meet requirements of academic progress will be placed on academic
probation or academic suspension. The AVP for Student Services will refer these students to
their academic advisor or counselor. The College will assist the student in identifying the probable causes of academic difficulty and will attempt to recommend strategies for change.
Any consideration of academic standing or reinstatement must be approved by the appropriate department chairperson and would require assurances that the reasons for academic difficulties have been removed.
Appeals of decisions of the department chairperson may be made to the appropriate program area dean. All appeals must be in writing and received no later than five days from the time
of notification of the department chairperson’s decision. Students placed on academic suspension may be allowed to continue attending class until the appeal has been resolved. The decision
of the dean in matters of academic and academic suspension is final and not subject to further
appeal.
Disciplinary Sanction
The program area dean or director investigates charges of misconduct and determines the
action to be taken. The decision of the dean or director is presented to the student in writing
within five (5) College days after the charge is filed. If the student is notified that a disciplinary
sanction will be imposed, he or she may appeal the decision.
1. If the student wishes to appeal the dean’s or director’s decision, he or she must submit the
appeal in writing within five (5) College days to the Associate Vice President for Curriculum
Programs or the Associate Vice President for Continuing Education. The Associate Vice
President will render a decision and will notify the student of the decision in writing within

Financial Obligations
Initial telephone contacts and certified letters of advisement from the Business Office at
FTCC regarding delinquent loans and returned checks are mailed to the student. Unpaid
indebtedness to the College will result in suspension from the class (es). Student will not be
allowed to register for the next term until the debt is cleared with the Business Office.
For returned checks, students are given 15 days from the date of the certified letter to clear
the debt before legal action is taken by FTCC. If after 15 days the debt is not cleared, a warrant is
issued by the Cumberland County Magistrates’ Office. After this time, the student must make
payment of the returned check plus court costs to the Clerk of Superior Court.
For student loans, the promissory note states that payment in full becomes due immediately
upon default of any installment or termination of at least half-time study. If payment is not

notification of disposition by the Attorney General, the student’s unpaid account is submitted to
an outside collection agency.
Monthly, any unpaid student accounts are submitted to the North Carolina Department of
Revenue under the Set-Off Debt Collection Act. This entitles FTCC to claim a part or all of the

General Educational Development (GED), Human Resources Development (HRD), Workforce
Preparedness Center, and Basic Skills Student Services.
Adult Basic Skills Program
The Adult Basic Education Program at FTCC is the cornerstone upon which the overall Basic
Skills Program is built. ABE is a dynamic outreach program specifically targeting non-readers
and other undereducated adults. A variety of traditional and non-traditional, innovative curricula have been implemented to upgrade the academic skills of this population. Special programs
often offered through formal partnerships with other agencies have promoted program accessibility.
Adult High School Diploma Program (AHS)
The Adult High School diploma is a course of studies in 14 core and 7 elective subjects. This
program is designed to give eligible adults in Cumberland County an opportunity to earn a high
school diploma. A student must be 18 years of age or older to enter the program. A student less
than 18 years of age must be screened through Basic Skills Student Services to determine eligibility.
Each of the subjects offers a concentrated study of a minimum of sixty-five (65) hours. Following assessment and evaluation of student academic transcripts, students are informed as to
the number of courses needed to complete requirements for their adult high school diploma.
These requirements include each student passing the N.C. Competency Test. These requirements must be met regardless of any program interruptions (class cancellations, etc.). The
diploma is issued by Fayetteville Technical Community College in cooperation with the Cum-
77
�berland County Board of Education.
Each course is taught by a qualified instructor who possesses at least a four-year degree. The
instructor uses modern classroom techniques, which include current textbooks, audiovisual
aids, community resources, computer-assisted learning and a variety of other teaching methods.

job. This includes teaching students how to assess their assets and limitations, develop their
problem-solving and communication skills, develop a positive self-image, improve academic
skills, and understand the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.

Skills, as well as specific job related employability skills, are taught to employees on the job site
or an FTCC site. Whether working toward a high school equivalency diploma or improvement
in specific work skills, the result of the program is a more capable, confident, and efficient
employee. The focus of this program is to improve skills that will lead to enhanced competitiveness for business and industry.

employment tests, or who want to improve their basic work skills. Students may work to
improve their reading, business writing, mathematics, problem solving, and critical thinking
skills, as well as learn to work as part of a team.
OCCUPATIONAL EXTENSION EDUCATION

��THE COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community college, adheres
to an "Open Door" admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a North Car
olina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults who show potential for post high school educa
tion may be admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educational potential. Successful
implementation of an "Open Door" admissions policy requires an emphasis on admissions
counseling services. As part of the admissions counseling process, Fayetteville Technical Com
munity College utilizes an initial placement test and an evaluation of the applicant's prior
school record to determine potential for success. When the admissions counseling process indi
cates that an applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue credit courses, he or she
will be directed to the Developmental Studies program prior to entry into a diploma or degree
curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he or she will be given the opportunity
to pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North Carolina equivalency
certificate (GED) prior to entering a regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula are open to
applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, disability, or political
affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of nine people, and an enrollment
of 50 students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal growth
from 1961 to the present. Now in its fourth decade, FTCC provides programs to meet the voca
tional, technical, and adult education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland County and surround
ing counties. FTCC currently is housed on a 12S-acre campus with a physical plant of over
630,000 square feet and has a full-time faculty of 276 people, an enrollment of over 12,000 cur
riculum students, and a total operating budget of over 51 million dollars.
FTCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the aus
pices of the City Board of Education and operated in the old senior high school while facilities
in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General Assembly cre
ated the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of providing for the
establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions. Located
throughout the state, these institutions offered courses of instruction in one or more of the gen
eral areas of two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs. The
authority for this newly-created department was vested in the North Carolina State Board of
Education. The center became a part of this system at that time.
17
�The center's progress in providing quality educational programs resulted in the Board of
Trustees requesting that the status "Technical Institute" be given the center. This request was
granted by the State Board of Education in September 1963, and the name Fayetteville Techni
cal Institute was adopted. With the status of "Technical Institute;' the Board of 'frustees was
granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate Degree in
General Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.
From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FTCC has seen the construction of a number of
buildings such as Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson Resource Center, the
Administration Building, the Student Center, Center for Business and Industry, and the
Advanced Technology Center. In November 1992, Cumberland County voters passed an FTCC
bond referendum which provided funds for construction of the Continuing Education Center.
North Carolinians passed a community college bond in November of 1993, which provided
construction funds for the Health Technologies Center. These buildings are part of the continu
ous effort to provide state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to train FTCC students for a
broad range of job opportunities.
Effective January 1, 1981, the North Carolina Community College System was transferred
from under the control of the State Board of Education to the newly-created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North Carolina Community College System
into the third decade of educational challenge and beyond.
In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute became Fayetteville Technical Community
College when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the North Carolina
State Legislature allowed all the technical colleges and institutes in the state to refer to them
selves as community colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose and mission of
Fayetteville Technical Community College remains intact.
18
�FTCC PURPOSE STATEMENT

Assessment and Evaluation ofStudents
Fayetteville Technical Community College wants each student to be successful in meeting his
or her educational goals. To evaluate the level of preparation and to place students in appropri
ate courses, the College requires entry assessment in the skill areas of English, reading, and
mathematics. To satisfy assessment requirements for most programs the student needs to take
the ACCUPLACER (or other North Carolina Community College System approved assess
ments) unless eligible for a waiver.
Entry assessment scores will be used for course level placement. Each of the three skill areas
of English, reading and mathematics are independent of each other. A student may place at the
college level in one or more areas and at the college preparatory level in other areas(s). The Col
lege may limit the student to college-preparatory courses and any other instruction for which he
or she is adequately prepared.

2. Prior to registration for the first session if a Dual Enrollment student.
3. Prior to registration for any course which has a specific entry assessment score as a pre
requisite.
Entry assessment score may not be more than three years old.
Entry Assessment
Students will be exempt from taking the entry assessment for registration in courses for which
they are qualified if they provide written documentation for one of the following exceptions:
1. The student has attended a regionally accredited institution (RAI) in which English was
the language of instruction and has successfully completed with a grade of"C" or higher
a transferable college-level English and/or mathematics course.
2. The student holds an associate's or bachelor's degree from a RAI in which English was
the language of instruction and has successfully completed with a grade of"C" or higher

�RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information regarding his or her length of residency
in North Carolina. The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than the
tuition charge for non-residents attending Fayetteville Technical Community College. To qual
ify for in-state tuition, a legal resident must have maintained his or her domicile in North Car
olina for at least twelve months prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition
purposes. Copies of the applicable law (G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regulation are avail
able in the Admissions Office. Initial classification of residency for tuition purposes is made in
the Admissions Office. Appeals and requests for re-classification should be addressed to the
Director of Admissions.
Responsibilities of the Student Relative to Residency Classification
1. If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes, it is your right to
petition for a change in classification to that of resident if you claim that you are now
. and, for at least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of such peti
tion, have been a legal resident of the State of North Carolina. The fact that you have
resided in the state for twelve months does not in itself constitute in- become a legal res
ident. Examples are: filing income tax in North Carolina, registering state residency. You
must be able to show proof that you have indeed taken steps to for voting, listing per
sonal property taxes, automobile registration, etc.
2. If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition purposes, it is your obligation to
petition for a change in classification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable
basis for believing that change in facts requires such a change in classification. 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, you
have become a nonresident, the effective date of change in applicable tuition rates shall
be the next term following the date of change in facts which required the change in clas
sification, unless you are deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state tuition rate under
the statutory twelve-month grace period. If you claim eligibility as a member of the
Armed Forces or a dependent relative of such a member to be charged the in-state
tuition rate under G.S. 'n6-143.3, you must submit the appropriate application prior to
initial enrollment or re-enrollment for which you claim the tuition benefit. You must
submit the application prior to each successive academic year of enrollment.
North Carolina laws require that each student supply all information requested relative to
residency classification for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would result in classification as a
nonresident for tuition purposes.

�FINAN CIAL AID
Fayetteville Technical Community College operates with the assumption that no student
should be denied a college education due to lack of financial resources. As far as possible, stu
dents are aided in meeting college costs through careful planning and various forms of financial
aid and other third-party support.
The Financial Aid Office at FTCC administers the various Title IV financial aid programs
under policies established by the College and guidelines provided by the u.s. Department of
Education. The College Financial Aid and Scholarship Committee recommends policy changes
and awards a variety of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community College is offered to all students enrolled
in eligible curricula who meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is granted on the basis of need
rather than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid Office utilizes the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) to analyze applicant data and determine student eligibility for financial aid.

tion package is available in the FTCC Financial Aid Office and should be completed as early as
possible. Applicants are urged to read the directions carefully and fill out the form completely
and accurately. The FAFSA form covers all forms of financial aid offered at the college with the
exception of scholarships.
Various resources are available through the Financial Aid Office located in Room 130 of the
Student Center or on our website at www.faytech.cc.nc.us.

student accident insurance plan carried by the College. Students are insured while attending
school during the hours that school is in regular session or participati~g in or attending an
activity (other than an athletic activity) exclusively sponsored and supervised by the College,
and traveling directly to or from such activity (other than an athletic activity) in a vehicle fur
nished and supervised by the College.
Students participating in athletic activities which are a part of their regularly scheduled
instruction are covered by this insurance. Students participating in organized intramural sports
are also covered.
The student accident insurance plan does not guarantee payment of all medical costs, and
the student is responsible for the payment of all costs in excess of those paid by the insurance
policy. A copy of the student accident insurance plan for the College is available in the Health
Services Office.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The College recognizes its responsibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
to provide equal access to education for students with disabilities. Support services are available
46
�to the hearing impaired, visually impaired, orthopedically handicapped, learning disabled, and
other health impaired individuals.
1. Students who feel that they need accommodations due to a disability or handicap must co~
plete a "Special Populations Student Intake" form indicating the nature of their disability.
2. Students who have identified themselves as having special needs may make a request for
special accommodations to the Special Populations Counselor or the Director of Coun
seling. This must be done at least 30 days prior to the first day of the term.
3. Students must arrange to provide supporting documentation upon request. Federal reg
ulations obligate the student to provide information on identifying appropriate and
effective auxiliary aids.
4. Each request will be evaluated by the Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director
of Counseling, who will recommend any modifications to the educational plan that are
essential to satisfactory completion of course requirements by the student according to
the ADA guidelines.
5. .The Special Populations Counselor and/or the Director of Counseling will provide the
student with a "Disabled Student Enrollment" form which lists recommended services
and/or accommodations. This document is to be used to inform College faculty and
staff of authorized accommodations. For further information and assistance, contact the
Special Populations Counselor.
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS
The following are considered reasonable accommodations to be made for students with dis
abilities:
1. The process must be an interactive one involving "a reasonable reciprocal effort" on the
part of both parties.
2. The College may not make a unilateral decision regarding the existence of a disability or
the accommodation that is necessary.
3. What is "reasonable" involves a detailed analysis of the specific circumsatnces of the case
in question. Broad generalizations are not acceptable. An "individualized assessment" of
the student's situation must be conducted.
4. The College is not required to provide specifically what the student requests. An alterna
tive accommodation may be provided if it is effective.
5. The College does not have to provide accommodations that are not. effective. The Col
lege has a right to refuse to provide auxiliary aids and services that do not in fact provide
meaningful access.
6. The College must be given a reasonable amount of time to evaluate requests and to offer
the necessary accommodations.
,,7. The College does not have to provide accommodations that will impose an "undue
\\ administrative or financial burden".
8... Challenges to students' requests must cl~arly involve substantive questions regarding the
. ~\lanifestations of the disability of the nature of the accommodations requested. Mere
ad~instrative expedience or philosophical differences of opinions cannot be used as a
\.
\
47
�justification for denying reasonable accommodations.
9. Determining what is reasonable requires one to balance two important rights: the
student's rights to be provided meaningful access and the College's right to protect the
integrity of its programs and services.
STUDENT HOUSING
Housing arrangements are the student's responsibility. As a member of the North Carolina
Department of Community Colleges, FTCC does not provide student housing. Assistance is
available in locating living arrangements in the community. Students in need of housing should
contact the Student Activities Office in the Student Center. The College assumes no responsibil
ity in any financial arrangement between the student and the landlord. Financial arrangements
for rooms are on an individual basis between the student and the landlord.
THE CRIME AWARENESS AND CAMPUS SECURITY ACT OF 1990
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, requires all institutions of higher
education that receive federal funding to collect all incidents of certain crimes that occur on

course, or if the student is performing acceptably, he or she may be allowed to continue
in the course under conditions set by the instructor.
5. Tardy students interrupt the beginning of a class meeting. If a student enters the class
after the faculty member has started the class, the student shall be recorded as being

�STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES
AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURES
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the
development of students, and the well-~eing of society. Free inquiry and free expression are
indispensible to the attainment of these goals. As members of the FTCC academic community,
students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgement and to engage in a sus- .
tained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic conditions in the
classroom, on the campus, and in the community. Students should exercise their freedom with
responsibility. As members of the FTCC academic community, students are subject to the obli
gations which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. As members of the larger commu
nity of which the College is a part, students are entitled to all rights and protection accorded
them by the laws of that community.
By the same token, students are also subject to all laws, whether on campus or off campus,
the enforcement of which is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When students
violate laws, they may incur penalties prescribed by legal authorities. In such instance, College
discipline will be initiated only when the presence of the student on campus will disrupt the
educational process of the College. However, when a student's violation of the law also adversely
affects the College's pursuit of its recognized educational objectives, the College may enforce its
own regulations. When students violate College regulations, they are subject to disciplinary
action by the College whether or not their conduct violates the law. If a student's behavior
simultaneously violates both .College regulations and the law, the College may take disciplinary
action independent of that taken by legal authorities.

networks. Employees are not permitted to copy software from FTCC computers and install it on
home or any other computer without the expressed written permission of the license owner.
A variety of software is available on the Internet. Some of this software, called 'Freeware' or
'Shareware' is available, free of charge, for limited use and may be downloaded to FTCC's com
puters with prior writen approval of the MIS Department. Other software available on the Inter

�THE COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community college,
adheres to an "Open Door" admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a North
Carolina General Education Development equivalency certificate (GED), and adults who desire
post high school education may be admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educa
tional potential. Successful implementation of an "Open Door" admissions policy requires an
emphasis on admissions counseling services. As· part of the admissions counseling process,
Fayetteville Technical CommuniW College utilizes an initial entry assessment and an evaluation
of the applicant's prior school record to determine potentilil for success. When the admissions
counseling process indicates that an applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue
credit courses, he or she will be directed to the Developmental Studies program prior to entry
into a diploma or degree curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he or she will
be given the opportunity to pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North
Carolina General Education Development equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering a
regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula are open to applicants without regard to race, color,
national origin, religion, age, sex, disability, or political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of nine people, and an enroll
ment of 50 students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal
growth from 1961 to the present. Now in its fo.urth decade, FTCC provides programs to meet
the vocational, technical, and adult education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland County and
surrounding counties. FTCC currently is housed on a 112-acre campus with a physical plant
of over 600,000 square feet and has a full-time faculty of 221 people, an enrollment of over
10,000 curriculum students, and a total operating budget of over 47 million dollars.
FTCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the
auspices of the City Board of Education and operated in the old senior high school while
facilities in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General
Assembly created the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of pro
viding for the establishment, organization, and administration of a system of two-year post
secondary educational institutions. Located throughout the state, these institutions offered
courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of two-year college parallel, techni
cal, vocational, and adult education programs. The authority for this newly-created depart
ment was vested in the North Carolina State Board of Education. The Center became a part of
this system at that time.

The Center's progress in providing quality educational programs resulted in the Board
of Trustees requesting that the status "Technical Institute" be given the Center. This request
. was granted by the State Board of EducatioQ. in September 1963, and the name Fayetteville
Technical Institute was adopted. With the status of "Technical Institute," the Board of Trustees
was granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate
Degree in General Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.
From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FTCC has seen the construction of a number
of buildings such as· Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson Resources
Center, the Thomas R. McLean Administration Building, the Student Center, the Center for
Business and Industry, and the Advanced Technology Center. In November 1992, Cumberland
County voters passed an FTCC bond referendum which provided funds for construction of the
Continuing Education Center. North Ca~olinians passed a community college bond in
November of 1993, which provided construction funds for the Health Technologies Center.
These buildings are part of the continuous effort to, provide state-of-the-art· facilities and
equipment to train FrCe. students for a broad range of job opportunities. Construction began
in Spring 2000 on the Early Childhood Educational Center expected to be completed in 2001.
Effective January 1, 1981, the North Carolina Community College System was trans
ferred from under the control of the State Board of Education to the newly-created State
Board of Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North Carolina Community College
System into the, next millennium.
In January 1988, Fayetteville, Technical Institute became Fayetteville Technical
Community College when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the
North Carolina State Legislature allowed all the technical colleges and institutes in the state to
refer to themselves as community colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose and
mission of Fayetteville Technical Community College remains intact.

ADMISSIONS
Assessment and Evaluation of Students
Fayetteville Technical Community College wants each student to be successful in

reading, and mathematics~ To satisfy assessment requirements the student needs to take the
COMPASS unless eligible for a waiver.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I

Entry assessment scores will be used for course level placement. Each of the three skill
areas of English, reading and mathematics are independent of each other. A student may place
at the college level in one or more areas and at the college preparatory level in other area(s). If
skills are below the levels defined by the College as required for succes'sful performance in a
college-credit program, the College may limit the student to college-preparatory courses and
any other instruction for which he or she is adequately prepared.
Requirements for Taking Entry Assessment
Whether the student is seeking full-time or part-time enrollment, unless he or she is
qualified for an exception, the student must complete a state-approved assessment as indicated:
1.
2.
3.
Prior to participating in registration if the student is seeking a degree.
Prior to registration for the first session if a Dual Enrollment student.
Prior to registration for any course which has a specific entry assessment score as a
prerequisite.
-Entry assessment score may not be more than three years old.
Entry Assessment
Students will be exempt from taking the entry assessment for registration in courses for
which they are qualified if they provide written documentation for one of the following exceptions:
1.

6.
The student's official FrCC record indicates that he or she is enrolled for job improve
ment or in selected courses with no intent for an FrCC degree.
The student has taken the SAT with verbal and math scores at or above 450 each or
ACT composite score of 18 or higher within the last five years.
The student chooses to begin with the most basic college-preparatory courses: English 70,
Math 50 and Reading 70.
North Carolina Community College System Approved Entry Assessments
COMPASS
FrCC administers the COMPASS from American College Testing. The assessments are
Sentence Skills, Reading Skills, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra~ There is no charge for the COMPASS.
The assessment takes approximately two to two and one-half hours and is available days and
evenings.
OTHER ASSESSMENTS
Other tests approved by the North Carolina Community College System are the ASSET,
CPT, and Companion.
Retest Policy
Students who wish to take a retest of the entry assessment should make the request
through an FrCC counselor.
There is a three-month waiting period between the initial placement test and any sched
uled retest. This three-month waiting period may be waived upon request if, in the counselor's
judgment, the testing candidate has taken sufficient action to assure improvement (or testing
conditions warrant retest).
There is a mandatory three-month waiting period between a retest and any subsequent
retests in order to ensure the validity of the placement test results.

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information regarding his or her length of resi
dency in North Carolina. The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than
the tuition charge for non-residents attending Fayetteville Technical Community College. To
qualify for in-state tuition, a legal resident must have maintained his or her domicile in North
Carolina for at least twelve months prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition
purposes. Copies of the applicable law (G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regulation are
available in the Admissions Office. Initial classification of residency for tuition purposes is
made in the Admissions Office. Appeals and requests for re-classification should be
addressed to the Director of Admissions.
Responsibilities of the Student Relative to Residency Classification
1.
If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes, it is your right to
petition for a change in classification to that of resident if you claim that you are now
and, for at least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of such peti
tion, have been a legal resident of the State of North Carolina. The fact that you have
resided in the state for twelve months does not in itself constitute in-state residency.
You must be able to show proof that you have indeed taken steps to become a legal res
ident. Examples are: filing income tax in North Carolina, registering to vote, listi~g
personal property taxes, automobile registration, etc.
2.
If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition purposes, it is your obligation to
petition for a change in classification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable
basis for believing that change in facts requires such a change in classification. 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, you
have become a nonresident, the effective date of change in applicable tuition rates shall
be the next term following the date of change in facts which required the change in
classification, unless you are deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state tuition rate
under the statutory twelve-month grace period. If you claim eligibility as a member of
the Armed Forces or a dependent relative of such a member to be charged the in-state
tuition rate under G.S. 116-143.3, you must submit the appropriate application prior to
30

initial enrollment or re-enrollment for which you claim the tuition benefit. You must
submit the application prior to each successive academic year of enrollment.
North Carolina laws require that each student supply all information requested relative
to residency classification for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would resultin classifi
cation as a nonresident for tuition purposes.
REFUNDcPOLICIES
Tuition Refunds
A 75 percent refund may be made upon request of the student if he/she officially with
draws from the class(es) prior to or on the official 10 percent point of the terni if the student

mends policy changes and awards a variety of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community College is offered to all students

basis of need rather than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid Office utilizes the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to analyze applicant data and determine student
eligibility for financial aid.

All applicants and FTCC students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. The
FAFSA application package is available in the FTCC Financial Aid Office and should be

diplomas not being available at the time of graduation. The College assumes no respon
sibility for making special adjustments for students who fail to file applications by the

graduation requirements by the designated date automatically voids his candidacy for
that particular graduation

'STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSmILITIES AND DUE PROCESS
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth. the
development of students, and the well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are
indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the FrCC academic community,
students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sus
tained and independent search for truth.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic conditions in
the classroom, on the campus, and in the community. Students should exercise their freedom
with responsibility. As members of the FrCC academic community, students are subject to
the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. As members of the larger
community of which the college is a part, students are entitled to all rights and protection
accorded them by the laws of that community.
By the same token, students are also subject to all laws, whether on campus or off campus,
the enforcement of which is the responsibility of duly constituted authorities. When students
violate laws, they may incur penaltIes prescribed by legal authorities. In such instance, College
discipline will be initiated only when the presence of the student on campus will disrupt the
educational process of the College. However, when a student's violation of the law also
adversely affects the College's pursuit of its recognized educational objectives, the College
may enforce its own regulations. When students violate College regulations, they are subject
to disciplinary action by the College whether or not their conduct violates the law. If a stu
dent's behavior simultaneously violates both College regulations and the law, the College may
take disciplinary action independent of that taken by legal authorities.
Student Code of Conduct
The College reserves the right to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment
for students and staff. Therefore, when in the judgment of College officials, a student's con
duct disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College community, appropriate disciplinary action
will be taken to restore and protect the orderliness of the FrCC community,
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with generally accepted
standards of scholarship and conduct. The purpose of this code is not to restrict student rights
but to protect the rights of individuals in their academic pursuits.
I
The following regulations set forth rules of conduct which prohibit certain types of stu
dent behavior. Violation of one or more of the following regulations may result in disciplinary
sanctions by the College and/or legal sanctions:
I
49

Academic Dishonesty - taking or acquiring possession of any academic material (test
information, research papers, notes, etc.) from a member of the College staff or student

may be subject to appropriate sanctions.
Disciplinary Action

�GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community college,
adheres to an "Open Door" admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a North
Carolina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults who show potential for post high school
education may be admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educational potential.
Successful implementation of an "Open Door" admissions policy requires an emphasis on
admissions counseling services. As part of the admissions counseling process, Fayetteville
Technical Community College utilizes an initial placement test, an interview, and an evaluation of
the applicant's prior school record to determine potential for success. When the admissions
counseling process indicates that an applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue credit
courses, he/she will be directed to the Developmental Studies program prior to entry into a diploma
or degree curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he/she will be given the
opportunity to pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North Carolina
equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering a regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula are
open to applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, handicap, or
political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of nine people, and an enrollment
of 50 students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal growth
from 1961 to the present. Now in its third decade, FrCC provides programs to meet the vocational,
technical, and adult education needs ofFayetteville, Cumberland County, and surrounding counties.
FrCC currently is housed on a 111.6-acre campus with a physical plant of over 500,000 square feet
and has a full-time faculty of 218 people, an enrollment of over 12,000 curriculum students, and a
total operating budget of over 40 million dollars.
FrCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the
auspices of the City Board of Education and operated in the old senior high school while facilities
in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General Assembly created
the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of providing for the
establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions. Located
throughout the state, these institutions offered courses of instruction in one or more of the general
areas of two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs. The
authority for this newly-created department was vested in the North Carolina State Board of
Education. The center became a part of this system at that time.
The center's progress in providing quality educational programs resulted in the Board of
Trustees requesting that the status "Technical Institute" be given the center. This request was
granted by the State Board of Education in September 1963, and the name Fayetteville Technical
Institute was adopted. With the status of ''Technical Institute," the Board of Trustees was granted
authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate Degree in General
Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.

From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FrCC has seen the construction of a number of
buildings such as Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the' Paul H. Thompson Library, the
Administration Building, the Student Center, Center for Business and Industry, and the Advanced
Technology Center. In November 1992, Cumberland County voters passed an FrCC bond
referendum which provided funds for construction of the Continuing Education Center. North
Carolinians passed a community college bond in November of 1993, which provided construction
funds for the Health Technologies Center. These buildings are part of the continuous effort to
provide state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to train FrCC students for a broad range of job
opportunities.
Effective January 1, 1981, the North Carolina Community College System was transferred
from under the control of the State Board of Education to the newly-created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North Carolina Community College System into
the third decade of educational challenge and beyond.
In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute became Fayetteville Technical Community
College when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the North Carolina State
Legislature allowed all the technical colleges and institutes in the state to refer to themselves as
community colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose and mission of Fayetteville
Technical Community College remain intact.

�FTCCPURPOSESTATEMENT
The purpose of Fayetteville Technical Community College is to provide low-cost technicaV
vocational, general education, college transfer, and continuing education programs which meet the

FrCC identifies the educational needs of applicants and assists students in satisfying these

her abilities and interests. The college is in partnership with the public school system through the
Tech Prep program. Further, agreements with four-year colleges and universities for transfer of

of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, and surrounding areas. Various curricula offer certificates,
diplomas, and associate degrees. FrCC offers courses and programs at times and places convenient
to prospective students. Courses are also available for high school graduates who need additional
academic preparation before attempting college work.

Fayetteville Technical Community College has structured its curricula, of both one and two
years' duration, on a post-secondary level and grants credit on a semester-hour basis.
Instruction in all curricula is post-secondary and requires students to be capable of study
beyond the high school equivalency level for success. The curricula are designed on a
semester-hour basis to include general education areas which require extra out-of-class
preparation each term. Each class, lab, and shop session is of 50 minutes duration and
requires a minimum ofoutside preparation oftwo hours for each classroom session, one hour
for each lab session, and additional outside preparation for shop sessions. Semester-hour
credit is granted on a basis of one credit to three sessions of shop, one credit to two sessions
oflab, one credit to each classroom session of weekly attendance, and one credit to ten hours
of cooperative work experience or practicum.
4.
Students with academic deficiencies who require remedial work as background preparation
may enroll in Developmental Studies. These Developmental Studies courses carry credit
hours for institutional accounting purposes only and are not counted as credit hours toward
graduation in any of the curricula.
Class Repeat Rules
Students should not repeat courses previously passed with a "C" or better. Students who fail
a required course will be required to repeat the course. Both grades made on a given course will be
counted on the student's total quality point average.
Veterans should be aware that they cannot receive VA benefits for duplication of courses
previously passed with a grade of"D" or higher with the exception of remediaVdeficiency course(s)
or program requirements as currently published.

��PURPOSE OF CATALOG
The purpose of this catalog is to provide a general description of Fayetteville Technical
Community College and give detailed information regarding the various programs and services
offered by the College. Inasmuch as the educational process necessitates change, the information
and educational requirements in this catalog represent a flexible program which may be altered
where such alterations are thought to be in the mutual interest of the College and its students.
Each student is given an approval letter and educational plan upon acceptance to a program.
Students are expected to follow the course requirements specified in the educational plan.
The provisions of this catalog do not constitute any offer for a contract which may be
accepted by students through registration and enrollment in the College. Fayetteville Technical
Community College reserves the right to change without notice any fee, provision, offering or
requirements for admission or graduation. The College further reserves the right to require a
student to withdraw from the College for cause at any time.
Each curriculum shall be governed by the requirements in effect on the date of enrollment
as specified by the student's educational plan. If a student withdraws from Fayetteville Technical
Community College and subsequently returns or does not remain continuously enrolled (summers
excluded), the requirements in effect at the time of return will govern.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
All programs establish certain academic requirements that must be met before an academic
award is granted. Advisors, department heads and deans are available to help the student
understand and arrange to meet these requirements, but the student is responsible for fulfilling
them. If, at the end of a student's course of study the requirements for graduation have not been
satisfied, the respective certificate, degree or diploma will not be granted. For this reason, it is
important for each student to acquaint himself or herself with all academic requirements
throughout his or her college career and to be responsible for completing all such requirements.

�GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community college,
adheres to an "Open Door" admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a North
Carolina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults who show potential for post high school
education may be admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educational potential.
Successful implementation of an "Open Door" admissions policy requires an emphasis on
admissions counseling services. As part of the admissions counseling process, Fayetteville
Technical Community College utilizes an initial ASSET Success Seminar, a personal interview,
and an evaluation of the applicant's prior school record to determine potential for success. When
the admissions counseling process indicates that an applicant lacks sufficient academic background
to pursue credit courses, he/she will be directed to the Developmental Studies program prior to
entry into a diploma or degree curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he/she
will be given the opportunity to pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a
North Carolina equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering a regular curriculum. Admissions
to curricula are open to applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age,
sex, handicap, or political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of nine people, and an
enrollment of 50 students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal
growth from 1961 to present. Now in its third decade, FTCC provides programs to meet the
vocational, technical and adult education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland and surrounding
counties. FTCC currently is housed on a 111.6-acre campus with a physical plant of over 500,000
square feet and has a full-time faculty of 198 people, an enrollment of over 10,000 curriculum
students, and a total operating budget of over 34 million dollars.
FTCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the
auspices of the City Board of Education and operated in the old senior high school while facilities
in the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General Assembly created
the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of providing for the
establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions. Located
throughout the State, these institutions offered courses of instruction in one or more of the general
areas of two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs. The
authority for this newly created department was vested in the North Carolina State Board of
Education. The Center became a part of this system at that time.
The Center's progress in providing quality educational programs resulted in the Board of
Trustees requesting that the status "Technical Institute" be given the Center. This request was
granted by the State Board of Education in September, 1963, and the name Fayetteville Technical
Institute was adopted. With the status of "Technical Institute", the Board of Trustees was granted
authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate Degree in General
Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.
4
�From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FrCC has seen the construction of a number
of buildings such as Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul H. Thompson Library, the
Administration Building, the Student Center and Center for Business and Industry, and the
Advanced Technology Center. FTCC's growth has not been limited to the numerous buildings
which have been constructed. It has grown in enrollment and in educational programs as well.
Effective January I, 1981, the North Carolina Community College System was transferred
from under the control of the State Board of Education to the newly created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board is leading the North Carolina Community College System into
the third decade of educational challenge and beyond.
In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute became Fayetteville Technical Community
College when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the North Carolina
State Legislature allowed all the technical colleges and institutes in the State to refer to themselves
as community colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose and mission of Fayetteville
Technical Community College remain intact.

�FTCC PURPOSE STATEMENT
The purpose of Fayetteville Technical Community College is to provide low-cost
vocational-technical, general education, college transfer, and continuing education programs which

experiences.
FTCC identifies the educational needs of applicants and assists students in satisfying these
needs at a minimal expense. Each adult who applies will be admitted to a program appropriate to

of technical courses, and FTCC's College Transfer program, support the educational continuum
from high school through the baccalaureate degree.
Curricular programs reflect the changing technical, commercial, industrial, and health
needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, and surrounding areas. Various curricula offer
certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees. FTCC offers courses and programs at times and
places convenient to prospective students. Courses are also available for high school graduates
who need additional academic preparation before attempting college work.
FTCC provides instruction in the basic life skills needed to contribute effectively to
society. Continuing Education programs are designed to meet specific needs in basic educational
competencies, high school completion, upgrading occupational skills, and other avocational or

FINANCIAL AID
Fayetteville Technical Community College operates with the assumption that no student
should be denied a college education due to lack of financial resources. As far as possible,
students are aided in meeting college costs through careful planning and various forms of financial
aid and other third-party support.
The Financial Aid Office at FTCC administers the various Title IV financial aid programs
under policies established by the College and guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of
Education. The College Financial Aid and Scholarship Committee recommends policy changes
and awards a variety of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community College is offered to all students
enrolled in eligible curricula who meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is granted on the basis
of need rather than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid Office utilizes the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to analyze applicant data and determine student eligibility for
[mancial aid. All applicants and FTCC students are urged to apply for financial aid. The F AFSA
application package is available in the FTCC Financial Aid Office and should be completed as
early as possible. Applicants are urged to read the directions carefully and fill out the form
completely and accurately. The FAFSA form covers all forms of financial aid offered at the
College with the exception of scholarships.
Various resources are available through the Financial Aid Office located in Room 130 of
the Student Center.
RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information regarding his or her length of residency
in North Carolina. The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than for non
residents attending Fayetteville Technical Community College. To qualify for in-state tuition, a
legal resident must have maintained his or her domicile in North Carolina for at least twelve
months prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes. Copies of the applicable
law (G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regulation are available in the Student Development
Office. Initial classification of residency for tuition purposes is made in the Admissions Office.
Appeals and requests for re-classification should be addressed to the Director of Admissions.
19
�Responsibilities of the Student Relative· to Residency Classification
1.
If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes, it is your right to
petition for a change in classification to that of resident if you claim that you are now and,
for at least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of such petition, have
been a legal resident of the State of North Carolina. The fact that you have resided in the
state for twelve months does not in itself constitute in-state residency. You must be able
to show proof that you have indeed taken steps to become a legal resident. Examples are:
ftling income tax in North Carolina, registering for voting, listing personal property taxes,
automobile registration, etc.
2.
If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition purposes, it is your obligation to
petition for a change in classification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable basis
for believing that change in facts requires such a change in classification. 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 you have become a
nonresident, the effective date of change in applicable tuition rates shall be the next quarter
following the date of change in facts which required the change in classification, unless
you are deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state tuition rate under the statutory twelve
month grace period. If you claim eligibility as a member of the Armed Forces or a
dependent relative of such a member to be charged the in-state tuition rate under OS 116
143.3, you must submit the appropriate application prior to initial enrollment or re
enrollment for which you claim the tuition benefit. You must submit the application prior
to each successive academic year of enrollment.
3.
North Carolina laws require that each student supply all information requested relative to
residency classification for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would result in classification
as a nonresident for tuition purposes.
STUDENT INSURANCE
All students, either full- or part-time, who are charged a student support services fee are
covered by a master student accident insurance plan carried by the College. Students are insured
while attending school during the hours that school is in regular session or participating in or
attending an activity (other than an athletic activity) exclusively sponsored and supervised by the
school, and traveling directly to or from such activity (other than an athletic activity) in a vehicle
furnished and supervised by the school.
Students participating in athletic activities which are a part of their regularly scheduled
instruction are covered by this insurance. Students participating in organized intramural sports are
also covered.
20
�The student accident insurance plan does not guarantee payment of all medical costs, and
the student is responsible for the payment of all costs in excess of those paid by the insurance
policy. A copy of the student accident insurance plan for the College is available in the Health
Services Office.
TUITION WAIVERS
1.
Senior citizens aged 65 or over are entitled to free tuition.
2.

from the institution and re-enters at a later quarter, including students who have completed
at least one or more quarters, will be subject to curricular requirements in effect for the
following fall quarter. In cases where students re-enter at the beginning of fall quarter,
they are subject to the requirements of the curriculum at the fall quarter re-entry.

4.
Must have taken care of ALL fmancial indebtedness to Fayetteville Technical Community
College, including a graduation fee.
5.
Applications for degrees or diplomas must be completed by the student and returned when
the student registers for the last quarter of enrollment. The College assumes no
responsibility for making special adjustments for students who fail to file applications by
the designated time. A candidate who fails to file an application for graduation or meet
&raduation requirements by the designated date automatically voids his candidacy for that
particular graduation.
6.
Substitution of courses for graduation purposes is limited to 10 percent of the total credit
hours required to graduate and must be approved by the department chairperson and the
program area dean. All exceptions to the 10 percent limit must be approved by the

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS
The college requires that students maintain a grade point average of 2.0 or better in order
to be eligible for graduation. Students who fail to maintain a major GPA of 2.0 will be placed on
probation for the next term of enrollment. Failure to complete the first term of probation with a
GPA of 2.0 will result in a second term of probation. Failure to maintain a GPA on work
attempted in the second term of probation will result in academic suspension.

�Students placed on academic probation must comply with the terms of that probation.
Terms of probation will include, but not be limited to, completion of all course work attempted
with a minimum GPA of 2.0, satisfactory completion of recommended remedial and/or deficiency
studies, and adherence to recommended enrichment activities.
Students placed on academic suspension may reapply for enrollment after a period of one
term. Re-entry to the same curriculum would require approval of the department chair and would
be under the current catalog.
Anyone on academic probation receiving VA educational allowance must receive at least
a 2.0 grade point average during the quarter of probation. If the 2.0 grade point average is not
met during the probationary period, VA benefits will be terminated due to unsatisfactory academic
progress, regardless of the school's decision as to whether to allow the student to continue.
Students who are on academic probation and do not meet the conditions of probation are
subject to academic suspension for a minimum of one quarter.
Failure in a major course may result in academic suspension regardless of GPA.

41
�Grades
Grading is the prerogative of the faculty member. Appeals concerning grades must be

in accordance with the outline below. The appeal of grade must be initiated prior to the end of the
next regular term.
1.
The student shall present the appeal to the chairperson of the department within which the
protested grade was awarded. The chairperson shall, by conferring with the student and
the faculty member, seek resolution by mutual agreement.
2.
Failing to reach a resolution, the department chairperson will transmit the appeal to the
appropriate program area dean who may convene the Academic Review Committee.
3.
The Academic Review Committee will consist of the convening dean and four faculty
members appointed by the dean. If the committee affirms the faculty member's decision,
the dean will notify in writing the faculty member, the student, and the department
chairperson. If the committee supports the student's appeal, it shall prescribe the method
by which the student will be re-evaluated. The resulting grade must be submitted within
college guidelines and may not be further appealed.
Academic Probation and Suspension
Students who fail to meet requirements of academic progress according to guidelines
published in the Student Handbook will be placed on academic probation or academic suspension.
These students should be referred to their academic advisor or counselor. The College will assist
the student in identifying the probable causes of academic difficulty and will attempt to
recommend strategies for change.
Any consideration of academic standing or reinstatement must be approved by the
appropriate department chairperson and would require assurances that the reasons for academic
difficulties have been removed.
Appeals of decisions of the department chairperson may be made to the appropriate
program area dean. All appeals must be in writing and received no later than five days from the
time of notification of the department chairperson's decision. Students placed on academic
suspension may be allowed to continue attending class until the appeal has been resolved. The
decision of the dean in matters of academic and academic suspension is final and not subject to
further appeal.

to register for the next term until the debt is cleared with the Business Office.
For returned checks, students are given 15 days from the date of the certified letter to clear
the debt before legal action is taken by FTCC. If after 15 days the debt is not cleared, a warrant
is issued by the Cumberland County Magistrates' Office. After this time, the student must make
payment of the returned check plus court costs to the Clerk of Superior Court.
For student loans, the promissory note states that payment in full becomes due immediately
upon default of any installment or termination of at least half-time study. If payment is not made,
the student's account is submitted to the Attorney General's Office for collection. Upon
notification of disposition by the Attorney General, the student's unpaid account is submitted to
an outside collection agency.
Monthly, any unpaid student accounts are submitted to the North Carolina Department of
Revenue under the Set-Off Debt Collection Act. This entitles FTCC to claim a part or all of the
student's income tax refund to apply against the debt.
Financial indebtedness to FTCC can only be appealed through the Business Office until
the matter is submitted to local and state legal authorities.
Further Appeal Procedures
The decisions of the FTCC Student Appeals Committee are referred to the Associate Vice
President for Curriculum Programs as recommendations. The Associate Vice President for
Curriculum Programs will confer with the Associate Vice President for Student Development,
reach a decision, and notify the student involved of the resulting decision as soon as possible, but
no later than three work days from the receipt of the recommendation of the Student Appeals
Committee by the Associate Vice President.
Further appeals must be in writing and addressed to the Vice President for Academic
Affairs. The chain of appeal goes then from the Vice President for Academic Affairs to the
President to the Board of Trustees. Decisions of the Board of Trustees are final.
Dismissal
Fayetteville Technical Community College reserves the right to dismiss any student when
it believes such action is in the best interest of the College, the students, the faculty, the staff, or
the student himlherself. In all cases, the right of due process is the student's prerogative.

DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES
The Developmental Studies program is designed as a "bridge" between high school and vocational/technical
education. Courses are given to students to help them become able to enter the curriculum of their choice. People
usually take Developmental Studies for one of the following reasons:
I. They did not complete the math and/or science courses in high school which they need to get into their
chosen program.
2. They want to become better in certain specific subjects.
3. They want a good general review before enrolling in their chosen curriculum.
Whatever the reason, Developmental Studies will "bridge the gap" between high school and
vocational/technical school.
Developmental courses in English and reading, math, science, social studies, and personal growth and
development are offered to students based on the ~ of the individual student. Special interest courses are also
offered as elective exploratory courses. A placement test measuring achievement in reading, writing and math skills
is used to determine the needed level of course work. Counselors work with students to help them plan the number
and level of courses needed to be successful in their chosen program.
Admission to the regular vocational/technical programs will be based on how well the student does in the
Developmental Studies courses. So, it is the student's opportunity and responsibility to do his/her best work in
Developmental Studies.
Developmental Studies at FTCC is more than "make-up" courses; this program also cares for the student
as a person. Opportunities for personal growth and development are offered in classroom courses and in the support
services available to the Developmental Studies student. Career/life planning, personal guidance and counseling,
health services, and many other "extras" help the student to succeed in the classroom.

fixtures for these production operations. They may also produce the gauges and other inspection tools used in
checking mass produced parts.
Students enrolling in the Tool, Die and Mold Making program should gain the necessary skills and related
information to make it possible for them to obtain entry-level employment in this field. Typical jobs which might
be secured in the manufacturing field include tool maker trainee, die maker trainee, mold maker trainee, piece part
inspector and tool inspector. Tool, die and mold makers analyze a variety of specifications, layout metal stock and
set up and operate machine tools. They fit and assemble parts to make and repair metal working dies, molds, cutting
tools, jigs, fixtures, and gauges. They compute dimensions, decide on machining to be done and plan layout and
assembly operations.
Upon completion of the program, the student will receive a diploma.

�Philosophy of the N.C. Community College System
The only valid philosophy for North Carolina is the philosophy of total education; a belief in the
incomparable worth of all human beings, whose claims upon the state are equal before the law and equal
before the bar of public opinion; whose talents (however great or however limited or however different
from the traditional) the state needs and must develop to the fullest possible degree. That is why the doors
to the institutions in North Carolina's system of community colleges must never be closed to anyone of
suitable age who can learn what they teach. We must take the people where they are and carry them as
far as they can grow within the assigned function of the system. If they cannot read, then we will simply
teach them to read and make them proud oftheir achievement. If they did not finish high school, but have
a mind to do it, then we will offer them a high school education at a time and in a place convenient to
them and at a price within their reach. If their talent is technical or vocational, then we will simply offer
them instruction, whatever the field, however complex or however simple, that will provide them with the
knowledge and the skill they can sell in the marketplaces of our state, and thereby contribute to its
scientific and industrial growth. If their needs are in the great tradition of liberal education, then we will
simply provide them instruction, extending through two years of standard college work. which will enable
them to go on to the university or to senior college and on into life in numbers unheard of in North
Carolina. If their needs are for cultural achievement. intellectual growth or civic understanding. then we
will simply make available to them the wisdom of the ages and the enlightment of our times and help them
to maturity.
Dr. Dallas Herring
June 1964
William Dallas Herring became a member of the State Board of Education in 1955 and was elected
chairman in 1957. Dr. Herring also served on the Carlyle Commission whose final report established the
basis for the Community College System. Dr. Herring served as the first chairman of the State Board of
Community Colleges. He was also a member ofthe State Board of Higher Education and was generally
recognized as the outstanding lay leader for education in the state. Governor Terry Sanford subsequently
referred to Dr. Herring as the "prime mover behind the Industrial Education Center/community college
movement."

�GENERAL INFORMATION
Fayetteville Technical Community College, as a comprehensive community college,
adheres to an "Open Door" admissions policy. High school graduates, persons achieving a North
Carolina equivalency certificate (GED), and adults who show potential for post high school edu
cation may be admitted to courses which are appropriate to their educational potential. Successful
implementation of an "Open Door" admissions policy requires an emphasis on admissions coun
seling services. As part of the admissions counseling process, Fayetteville Technical Community
College utilizes an initial ASSET Success Seminar, a personal interview, and an evaluation of the
applicant's prior school record to determine potential for success. When the admissions counsel
ing process indicates that an applicant lacks sufficient academic background to pursue credit
courses, he/she will be directed to the Developmental Studies program prior to entry into a
diploma or degree curriculum. If the applicant lacks a high school diploma, he/she will be given
the opportunity to pursue studies to achieve an Adult High School Diploma or a North Carolina
equivalency certificate (GED) prior to entering a regular curriculum. Admissions to curricula are
open to applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, handicap, or
political affiliation.
HISTORY OF FTCC
From a building of 38,000 square feet, a faculty and staff of nine people, and an enroll
ment of 50 students, Fayetteville Technical Community College has experienced phenomenal
growth from 1961 to present. Now in its third decade, FTCC provides programs to meet the voca
tional, technical and adult education needs of Fayetteville, Cumberland and surrounding counties.
FTCC currently is housed on a 111.6-acre campus with a physical plant of over 400,000 square
feet and has a full-time faculty of 193 people, an enrollment of over 10,000 curriculum students,
and a total operating budget of over 28 million dollars.
FTCC originated in 1961 as the Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center under the
auspices of the City Board of Education operating in the old senior high school while facilities in
the Honeycutt area were being finished. In 1963, the North Carolina General Assembly created
the Department of Community Colleges for the expressed purpose of providing for the establish
ment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions. Located throughout
the State, these institutions offered courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of
two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs. The authority for
this newly created department was vested in the North Carolina State Board of Education. The
Center became a part of this system at that time.
The Center's progress in providing quality educational programs resulted in the Board of
Trustees requesting that the status "Technical Institute" be given the Center. This request was
granted by the State Board of Education in September, 1963, and the name Fayetteville Technical
Institute was adopted. With the status of "Technical Institute," the Board of Trustees was granted
authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and Associate Degree in General
Education in addition to the diplomas offered in numerous programs.
4
�From its beginning in 1961 to the present, FrCC has seen the construction of a number of
buildings such as Lafayette Hall, Cumberland Hall, the Paul Thompson Library, the
Administration Building, the Student Center and Center for Business and Industry, and the
Advanced Technology Center. FrCC's growth has not been limited to the numerous buildings
which have been constructed. It has grown in enrollment and in educational programs as welL
Effective January I, 1981, the North Carolina Community College System was transferred
from under the control of the State Board of Education to the newly created State Board of
Community Colleges. This Board will lead the North Carolina Community College System into
the third decade of educational challenge and beyond.
In January 1988, Fayetteville Technical Institute became Fayetteville Technical
Community College when the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges and the North
Carolina State Legislature allowed all the technical colleges and institutes in the State to refer to
themselves as community colleges. The change was in name only as the purpose and mission of
Fayetteville Technical Community College remains intact.

FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid Office (Student Center, Room 126)
Fayetteville Technical Community College operates with the assumption that no student
should be denied a college education due to lack of fmancial resources. As far as possible, stu
dents are aided in meeting college costs through careful planning and various forms of fmancial
aid and other third-party support.
The Financial Aid Office at FTCC administers the various Title IV financial aid programs
under policies established by the College and guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of
Education. The College Financial Aid and Scholarship Committee recommends policy changes
and awards a variety of scholarships.
Financial aid at Fayetteville Technical Community College is offered to all students
enrolled in eligible curricula who meet eligibility requirements. Most aid is granted on the basis
of need rather than scholastic ability. The Financial Aid Office utilizes the College Scholarship
Service (CSS) to analyze applicant data and determine student eligibility for fmancial aid. All
applicants and FTCC students are urged to apply for financial aid. The "FAFSA" application
package is available in the FTCC Financial Aid Office and should be completed as early as possi
ble. Applicants are urged to read the directions carefully and fill out the form completely and
accurately. The FAFSA application form covers all forms of fmancial aid offered at the College
with the exception of scholarships.
Various resources are available through the Financial Aid Office located in Room 126 of
the Student Center.
RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION FOR TUITION PURPOSES
Every applicant is required to provide information regarding his or her length of residency
in North Carolina. The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than for non-res
idents attending Fayetteville Technical Community College. To qualify for in-state tuition, a legal
resident must have maintained his or her domicile in North Carolina for at least twelve months
prior to his or her classification as a resident for tuition purposes. Copies of the applicable law
(G.S. 116-143.1) and implementing regulation are available in the office of the Dean of Students.
Initial classification of residency for tuition purposes is made in the Admissions Office. Appeals
and requests for re-classification should be addressed to the Dean of Students.
18
�Responsibilities of the Student Relative to Residency Classification
1.
If you currently are classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes, it is your right to peti
tion for a change in classification to that of resident if you claim that you are now and, for
at least the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of such petition, have
been a legal resident of the State of North Carolina. The fact that you have resided in the
state for twelve months does not in itself constitute in-state residency. You must be able to
show proof that you have indeed taken steps to become a legal resident. Examples are: fil
ing income tax in North Carolina, registering for voting, listing personal property taxes,
automobile registration, etc.
2.
If you currently are classified as a resident for tuition purposes, it is your obligation to
petition for a change in classification to that of a nonresident if you have reasonable basis
for believing that change in facts requires such a change in classification. 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 you have become a
nonresident, the effective date of change in applicable tuition rates shall be the next quar
ter following the date of change in facts which required the change in classification,
unless you are deemed eligible to further enjoy the in-state tuition rate under the statutory
twelve-month grace period. If you claim eligibility as a member of the Armed Forces or a
dependent relative of such a member to be charged the in-state tuition rate under GS 116
143.3, you must submit the appropriate application prior to initial enrollment or re-enroll
ment for which you claim the tuition benefit. You must submit the application prior to
each successive academic year of enrollment.
3.
North Carolina laws require that each student supply all information requested relative to
residency classification for tuition purposes. Failure to do so would result in classification
as a nonresident for tuition purposes.
STUDENT INSURANCE
All students, either full- or part-time, who are charged a Student Support Services Fee are
covered by a master student accident insurance plan carried by the College. Students are insured
while attending school during the hours that school is in regular session or participating in or
attending an activity (other than an athletic activity) exclusively sponsored and supervised by the
school, and traveling directly to or from such activity (other than an athletic activity) in a vehicle
furnished and supervised by the school.
Students participating in athletic activities which are a part of their regularly scheduled
instruction are covered by this insurance. Students participating in organized intramural sports are
also covered.
19
�The student accident insurance plan does not guarantee payment of all medical costs, and
the student is responsible for the payment of all costs in excess of those paid by the insurance pol
icy. A copy of the student accident insurance plan for the College is available in the Health
Services Office.

�REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
To be eligible for graduation, the student must:
1. .
Successfully complete the curricular requirements in effect at the time the student entered
the curriculum. Students who enter a curriculum after the spring quarter are subject to the
curricular requirements in effect for the following fall quarter. A student who withdraws
from the institution and re-enters at a later quarter, including students who have completed
at least one or more quarters, will be subject to curricular requirements in effect for the
following fall quarter. In cases where students re-enter at the beginning of fall quarter,
they are subject to the requirements of the curriculum at the fall quarter re-entry.
2.
Have met all admissions requirements for the program in which the student will graduate.
including receipt of high school transcript and transcripts of all post-secondary school
work.
3.
Have sufficient quality points to average 2.0 in total program.
4.
Have passing grades in all required courses (certain curricula. especially in the health
area, require that a student make at least a "C" grade on major subject areas for the student
to be eligible to take state and national examinations for licensure.)
5.
Must have taken care of ALL financial indebtedness to Fayetteville Technical Community
College, including a graduation fee.
6.
Applications for degrees or diplomas must be completed by the student and returned when
the student registers for the last quarter of enrollment. The College assumes no responsi
bility for making special adjustments for students who fail to file applications by the des
ignated time. A candidate who fails to file an application for graduation or meet
graduation requirements by the designated date automatically voids his candidacy for that
particular graduation.
7.
Substitution of courses for graduation purposes is limited to 10 percent of the total credit
hours required to graduate and must be approved by the department chairperson and the
program area dean. All exceptions to the 10 percent limit must be approved by the
Associate Vice President for Student Development.
8.
Electives taken by students under VA educational benefits may exceed the total required
hours of a curriculum only by the hours of the last elective taken to fulfill those require
ments.
32
�STANDARDS OF PROGRESS
A student whose quality point average for any given quarter's work falls below the mini
mum as stated in the current Student Handbook will be placed on academic probation. If the sub
sequent quarter's work should also fail to meet the minimum requirement of probation, the
student may be requested to drop certain courses, and/or take remedial work, or may be placed on
academic suspension for at least one quarter. Certain curricula have minimum course grade
requirements which will be specified either in the Student Handbook or a program area bulletin.
The conditions of academic probation are as follows: (1) maintain at least a grade of "c"
on all courses taken during the quarter, (2) non-participation in organized extra-curricular activities
while on academic probation, and (3) participation in a minimum of three counseling sessions.
Students placed on academic suspension for one quarter may be re-enrolled after the sus
pension period; however, the student will be placed on academic probation for the first quarter of
re-enrollment.
Anyone on academic probation receiving VA educational allowance must receive at least
a 2.0 grade-point average during the quarter of probation. If the 2.0 grade point average is not met
during the probationary period, VA benefits will be terminated due to unsatisfactory academic
progress, regardless of the school's decision as to whether to allow the student to continue.
Students who are on academic probation and do not meet the conditions of probation are
subject to academic suspension for a minimum of one quarter.

�DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES
(T-099)
The Developmental Studies program is designed as a "bridge" between high school and vocational/technical
education. Courses are given to students to help them become able to enter the curriculum of their choice. People usu
ally take Developmental Studies for one of the following reasons:
I. They did not complete the math and/or science courses in high school which they need to get into their cho
sen program.
2. They want to become better in certain specific subjects.
3. They want a good general review before enrolling in their chosen curriculum.
Whatever the reason, Developmental Studies will "bridge the gap" between high school and vocational/techni
cal school.
Developmental courses in English and reading, math, science, social studies, and personal growth and devel
opment are offered to students based on the needs of the individual student. Special interest courses are also offered as
elective exploratory courses. A placement test measuring achievement in reading, writing and math skills is used to
determine the needed level of course work. Counselors work with students to help them plan the number and level of
courses needed to be successful in their chosen program.
Admission to the regular vocational/technical programs will be based on how well the student does in the
Developmental Studies courses. So, it is the student's opportunity and responsibility to do his/her best work in
Developmental Studies.
Developmental Studies at FreC is more than "make-up" courses; this program also cares for the student as a
person. Opportunities for personal growth and development are offered in classroom courses and in the support ser
vices available to the Developmental Studies student. Career/life planning, personal guidance and counseling, health
services, and many other "extras" help the student to succeed in the classroom.

�Philosophy of the N.C. Community College System
The only valid philosophy for North Carolina is the philosophy of total education; a belief
in the incomparable worth of all human beings, whose claims upon the state are equal before the
law and equal before the bar of public opinion; whose talents (however great or however limited
or however different from the traditional) the state needs and must develop to the fullest possible
degree. That is why the doors to the institutions in North Carolina's system of community colleges
must never be closed to anyone of suitable age who can learn what they teach. We must take the
people where they are and carry them as far as they can grow within the assigned function of the
system. If they cannot read, then we will simply teach them to read and make them proud of their
achievement. If they did not finish high school, but have a mind to do it, then we will offer them a
high school education at a time and in a place convenient to them and at a price within their
reach. If their talent is technical or vocational, then we will simply offer them instruction, what
ever the field, however complex or however simple, that will provide them with the knowledge and
the skill they can sell in the marketplaces of our state, and thereby contribute to its scientific and
..
industrial growth. If their needs are in the great tradition of liberal education, then we will simply
provide them instruction, extending through two years of standard college work, which will
enable them to go on to the university or to senior college and on into life in numbers unheard of
in North Carolina. If their needs are for cultural achievement, intellectual growth or civic under
standing, then we will simply make available to them the wisdom ofthe ages and the enlightenment
ofour times and help them to maturity.
Dr. Dallas Herring
June 1964
William Dallas Herring became a member of the State Board of Education in 1955 and
was elected chairman in 1957. Dr. Herring also served on the Carlyle Commission whose final
report established the basis for the Community College System. Dr. Herring served as the first
chairman of the State Board ofCommunity Colleges. He was also a member of the State Board of
Higher Education and was generally recognized as the outstanding lay leader for education in
the state. Governor Terry Sanford subsequently referred to Dr. Herring as the "prime mover
behind the Industrial Education Center/community college movement:'
