1. Semester Honor Rolls: Outstanding students are recognized each semester through the publication of the President's and Academic Dean’s Honor Rolls. In order to be eligible for the President’s Honor Roll, students must earn for the semester a GPA of 3.75 or above. The Academic Dean’s Honor Roll requires students to earn a semester GPA between 3.50 and 3.74. Students must complete 12 or more semester hours, with a grade no lower than a "B", in college level courses (1000 level and above) at the time of final grade reporting, to be eligible for either honor roll. High school equivalency courses do not meet the criteria for inclusion in the determination of honor awards. The Division of Adult Education and BSN full-time students (full-time as designated by their programs) are qualified for honor roll designation.

b. Magna Cum Laude Students are awarded this honor with a cumulative GPA between 3.70 and 3.89

c. Cum Laude Students receive this honor with a cumulative GPA between 3.50 and 3.69

A student may request academic forgiveness for work completed five years or more prior to request. Forgiveness can be for ALL work, or for ALL work at a specific institution. Acceptance of any portion of previous work at a specific institution will make all work applicable. Students must apply to the Registrar for academic forgiveness upon application or re-application to the College. Academic forgiveness does not affect any financial aid policies or regulations.

Academic Classification

The number of credit hours completed according to the following determines academic classification:

Students enrolled in first-year Health Science programs will be considered freshmen regardless of the number of credit hours earned before being admitted into the program.

No student with fewer than 61 credit hours may register for a class at the 3000 level or higher without signed approval from the appropriate instructor and Division Chair or Dean.

A full-time student is one who carries a minimum load of 12 credit hours in the regular semester or 6 credit hours during a summer session.

A resident student is one who carries a minimum load of 12 credit hours in the regular semester or 6 credit hours during summer and is residing in Bacone housing.

A student should carry a normal load of 12 to 17 credit hours per regular semester. In most cases, this enrollment should lead to the successful completion of all bachelor degree requirements in 8 regular semesters and all associate degree requirements in 4 regular semesters. This does not include, however, any developmental or high school equivalency course work that may be needed. It also does not include any transfer credit or college credit earned while in high school.

A student who wishes to carry more than 17 credit hours per regular semester and more than 12 credit hours during summer must have approval of the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs).

Students enrolled in the accelerated programs, A.S. in Business Administration, and the RN to BSN programs are designated as full-time.

At the end of every semester, the Academic Affairs Council reviews students’ academic progress. Every student that falls below the accepted level of academic performance, as defined by the College’s catalog or by exceptionally poor grades for one or more semesters, is placed on academic warning, probation or suspension.

Good Academic Standing: Any student who meets the academic requirements as set forth in this policy (See chart below) is in good academic standing.

Academic Warning: Students that fail to maintain an acceptable grade point average (See chart below) are notified that they may be placed on Academic Probation at the end of the next semester if by that time they have not achieved an acceptable GPA.

Academic Probation: Students may be placed on academic probation when they fail to maintain the necessary grade point average (See chart below).

Academic Suspension: Students who failed to achieve the required grade point average (See chart below) while on academic probation may be placed on academic suspension. (See Suspension Policy under ADMISSION INFORMATION, Office of Admissions General Policies.)

Any course in which a student has a recorded grade will be counted in the calculation of the grade point average for academic standing purposes excluding any course repeated or forgiven, any noncredit courses, and any physical education activity courses. Students may attend the summer sessions as an attempt to meet the minimum requirements for continued enrollment.

Students having extraordinary circumstances, leading to Academic Suspension, must make a formal request for review of their status through the Office of Academic Affairs.

Students returning after being placed on Academic Suspension will be required to set up regular tutorial sessions through the Student Learning and Faculty Resource Center or Student Support Services.

Academic Dishonesty Policy

The fundamental principle of academic life is integrity. The Bacone College community does not condone academic dishonesty in any form. When an act of academic dishonesty has occurred the incident must be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs by the faculty member whose class(es) the act(s) of academic dishonesty occurred. Following the reporting of the incident(s) the subsequent actions may be taken:

1. The instructor has the right to not accept the assignment or test in question and record a "zero" for the assignment or test, and/or require the student to redo the assignment (or test), or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test.

2. The student may be dropped from the class and assigned a failing grade (F). A written recommendation from the instructor is required.

3. In cases of extreme or repeated incidents (two or more) of academic dishonesty, the student may be suspended from the College.

The instructor and/or the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs) will notify the student as to the action taken. If the student believes there has been an erroneous accusation made, the student may appeal the action. The student must file a written appeal within 10 working days of notification. The Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs) hears the appeal in the presence of the student, the instructor and the division chair. The student and faculty member are informed in writing of the action taken.

Advanced Credit

The student, through several available options, may earn a total of 15 college credit hours toward the associate degree and 30 hours toward the bachelor degree.

Through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Advanced Placement Program (APP), a student may test out of a subject and receive college credit. The College will charge a fee to transfer credit by examination to the student's transcript. All CLEP testing is arranged through the Student Learning and Faculty Resource Center.

Students may earn the credit hours shown by proving competency in the following CLEP subject matter tests (no credit will be allowed for general examination by CLEP). Credit will be given for these same subjects with a grade of 3 on the APP.

* Credits are what Bacone College will allow towards a major or general education requirement. If a student CLEPs out of any course where there are no credits specifically reflected above, the student will receive the ACE recommended number of credit hours to apply to elective hours - - the credits will not fulfill general education requirements. For additional information report to the CLEP Center on the second floor of Palmer Center.

College credit may also be earned through distance learning courses offered through approved colleges and universities. The Division Chair, the Registrar, and the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs) must approve for transfer of credit from distance learning courses offered by other institutions.

Division of Adult Education students may obtain up to 21 credit hours of general education advanced standing credits via transfer credits, CLEP testing, prior learning experience, portfolio assessment or partial credit options.

Challenge for Course Credit: Computer Literacy

For degrees requiring MIS 2113 Introduction to Microcomputers, a student may choose to challenge this computer literacy requirement. Computer literacy is defined as being competent in fundamental computer skills including the use of a personal computer, word processing software, spreadsheets, and presentation management software. The student may provide proof of computer literacy by presenting a high school transcript reflecting a passing grade in a computer course which includes these topics; or he/she may work with the faculty member responsible for the computer courses and arrange a time and location to meet at Bacone's campus to take an examination thereby allowing him/her to “test out” of the course. After the student passes the examination, he/she will not be required to take MIS 2113 Introduction to Microcomputers.

Challenge for Course Credit: Speech

If a student chooses to challenge the speech requirement at Bacone College, the student will work with the Chair of the Division of General Studies to arrange a time and location to meet on Bacone’s campus and deliver an extemporaneous speech in front of three speech faculty and a general audience (such as a speech class). Said speech should be either informative or persuasive. It should be either good (B) or excellent (A), and at least two of the three speech faculty should vote for approval. Upon fulfilling these requirements, credit will be granted to the student (“CR” will appear on the student’s transcript - - not a grade). A $150 non-refundable fee for this challenge must be paid at the Business Office prior to the student’s appointment for the challenge. Student must present a copy of the receipt at the time of the challenge.

Auditing

Students who wish to participate in a class without earning credits toward a degree may audit the class. Grades or grade points for these courses will not be issued. Students must pay the full tuition rate for courses taken by audit. Students may change enrollment status from audit to credit, or credit to audit, until the close of the late enrollment period. Audited courses do not apply toward meeting graduation requirements.

Community Audit

Community members are encouraged to participate in auditing a program at Bacone College. There is no tuition; however, there is a fee that is one-seventh (1/7^th) of the hourly established rate. Any applicable fees for materials as outlined in the Financial Section of the catalog also apply. Full-time students have priority for enrollment in all classes; therefore, community participants cannot enroll in any audited class until after the last day to enroll. Consequently, the date a community participant can enroll is two weeks after the first day of class in the fall and spring semesters.

The community audit option is allowed only for select courses. For a current list of available courses by “community audit” please contact the Office of Admissions.

Bacone College expects students to attend class on a regular and punctual basis. Students who are absent from class, regardless of the cause, have the responsibility of communicating with the instructor to discuss the missed work. The instructor will determine whether the student will be permitted to submit the work and will decide on the time and nature of the make-up assignment. Students who do not appear at the time prearranged for the make-up assignment forfeit any right to make-up the work. Excessive class absences do have a negative impact upon a student’s participation in a class and could result in a final grade of “F” for a course.

Courses Repeated and Final Grades

Students may repeat courses in which they have made a grade of D or F. They may repeat a maximum of four (4) courses, up to a maximum of eighteen (18) hours. When repeating a course the last grade earned is the grade that will be used in computing the hours attempted, hours for credit, and for cumulative grade point determination. All entries remain a part of the student’s permanent transcript.

Final grades, other than incompletes, may be changed by faculty or college action only when there has been an error in computing the grade.

Students have until the end of the second week during regular semesters to add a class to their official schedule and until the last business day of the eighth week to withdraw/drop a class. After the eighth week, no withdrawals are possible and the student will receive a grade for the course. The dates to add and/or drop courses during the summer sessions, or for courses that meet at special times may vary. Students must check the current, official Academic Calendar or inquire in the Office of the Registrar to find out the allowed dates for adding or dropping classes in those sessions or for classes that meet at special times, including accelerated programs. To add or drop a class, students are required to pick up the necessary form in the Office of the Registrar and acquire the signed approval of their advisor and their coach (if applicable). A student may be withdrawn from class(es) by faculty-administrative action in cases where the student displays disrespectful or disruptive behaviors.

Because the schedule for the BSN completion program does not follow the regular college calendar, some of the policies regarding enrollment, obtaining student loans or withdrawing from class will be unique to the BSN program.

To formally withdraw from a BSN core class, students must obtain an add/drop slip, have it signed by their advisor and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. As the Nursing and Christian Ethics courses are offered in an accelerated format, the deadline to withdraw from these courses is different than the deadlines for other college courses. The last date to withdraw from a four-week course is no later than four school days after the first class session. The last date to withdraw from a six-week course is no later than four school days after the second class meeting. The last day to withdraw from a seven-week course is no later than four school days after the third class meeting. No withdrawals will be accepted after these dates. Tuition refunds for the courses that have been dropped may be allowed providing the withdrawal policy was adhered to. Business Office and Financial Aid personnel should be consulted during the withdrawal policy.

Students who find it necessary to leave Bacone College voluntarily due to personal or professional reasons, may apply for Leave of Absence Status (LOAS) of up to two consecutive semesters. A student on LOAS may make application to have this status continued. A student on LOAS due to military service will have his/her status automatically extended for the length of military duty. LOAS assures the student of readmission to the College without further paperwork or review by the Admissions Committee. Upon return, the student may continue is/her course work under the catalog previously in effect before leaving the College or may elect to render under the current catalog. Students under full-time study may change to a later catalog at anytime. The LOAS application is available in the Registrar’s Office and must be approved by the Vice President and Dean of Faculty. The college’s Chief Financial Officer will approve the disposition of the student’s financial obligations (if any) at the time of application for LOAS. “LA” will appear on transcript for Leave of Absence Status.

Credit Hour

A semester hour of credit is given for the equivalent of one 50-minute class period per week for a semester of 16 weeks. In the case of laboratory work, one semester hour of credit is granted for each two or more hours of laboratory work. With the exception of accelerated classes, the length of classes during summer and evening sessions will be proportioned according to the clock hours of a course meeting during the regular day classes.

Bacone retains directory data and confidential data about current and former students. Upon admission, students provide and entrust the college with data for academic and personal records and other data generated during the student’s enrollment. As custodian of these records, Bacone acknowledges the student's right of privacy concerning this information. The college further recognizes that certain information is a matter of public record and may be released for legitimate purposes. Bacone College strictly follows and adheres to the guidelines and stipulations stated in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (as amended). For more information regarding these guidelines, contact the Office of the Registrar or the Office of Academic Affairs. Or you may log onto the following website for a detailed description of FERPA:

Developmental Studies Policy

Bacone provides educational experiences appropriate to each student's level of ability. Specific courses and learning assistance labs offer the opportunity for students to build the academic and personal skills necessary to succeed in their degree programs. These courses include areas such as reading, writing, study skills, and mathematics. Also included are fundamental courses in English, mathematics, and science for students with high school deficiencies. Tutorial services are available through Student Support Services and the Student Learning and Faculty Resource Center located in the Academic Support Center on the second floor of the Palmer Center.

Final Examinations

The week set aside for final examinations is published each semester in the College’s official Academic Calendar. A detailed schedule of final exams is distributed to faculty and posted for students during each semester. Examinations are to be given only at the scheduled time and each class must meet at that time. Only the Office of Academic Affairs can approve requests for early examinations or excuses from examinations. In emergency situations, a student may petition to take an incomplete in the course.

For all first-time freshmen and students transferring from other institutions with less than 30 credit hours, ACT scores will be used to determine whether students need additional preparatory course work.

All students are required to take the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) assessment the semester in which they cumulatively earn 60 credit hours. Eligibility for an associate’s degree, acceptance into a four-year program or additional course/skill remediation is contingent upon successfully passing the exam. Check with the Office of Academic Affairs for the current CAAP passing score.

Grade Reporting

Each instructor reports to the Registrar, a mid-term grade of those students who are performing unsatisfactorily at the end of the sixth week of classes in the fall and spring semesters. Mid-term grades are not reported in summer term. A final grade report is mailed at the end of each semester or summer term to the student's home address.

Relationships between students and educators at Bacone College are based on the assumption of mutual acceptance of certain rights and responsibilities. Disputes involving academic performance (grades) can often be resolved through a grievance process. An Academic Grievance Committee composed of faculty members will be appointed to hear a grievance only after an attempt has been made by the involved persons to resolve their differences within the following framework:

4. If necessary, the Division Chair conducts a conference with all parties present.

When appealing a final grade received in a course, students must file a grievance before the end of the eighth week of the fall or spring semester following the semester, session or term in which the grade was recorded.

Information on grievance procedures is available in the Office of Academic Affairs. After an Academic Grievance Committee has issued an opinion on a grievance, the plaintiff or defendant can appeal the decision to the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs). An appeal must be submitted in writing to the Office of Academic Affairs within ten working days after the decision of the Academic Grievance Committee.

Grading System

Final grades are reported for each student for every course undertaken according to the following grading system:

A	4.0 Grade Point	Excellent
B	3.0 Grade Point	Good
C	2.0 Grade Point	Average
D	1.0 Grade Point	Below Average
F	0.0 Grade Point	Failure
I	Incomplete	When, in the instructor’s judgment, justifiable circumstances exist, the instructor may issue an “I” grade.
W	Withdraw	No grade points awarded. A “W” grade is assigned to a student’s record as an understanding that a student has withdrawn from a class.
U	Unsatisfactory	Failure to successfully complete a credit or non-credit course.
CR	Credit	Credit allowed for proficiency/testing, e.g., CLEP, ACT-PEP, APP. Credit hours are included in hours earned, but not used in computation of grade point average.
AU	Audit	An “AU” indicates that no credit was earned, and is not used in the computation of a grade point average.
AW	Administrative Withdrawal	The student has been “involuntarily” withdrawn by the institution during the designated semester for disciplinary or financial reasons. An Administrative Withdrawal requires approval by the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs). An “AW” grade is not used in the computation of a grade point average.
LA	Leave of Absence Status	The student has voluntarily withdrawn due to personal, professional, or military reasons. LOAS application must be signed by Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs). Chief Financial Officer will approve the disposition of student’s financial obligations at time of application.

Incomplete means that a student has done satisfactory work in a course but has failed to complete a portion of the course requirements because of documented, extenuating circumstances. The instructor prepares a contract (available in the Office of the Registrar) specifying the class assignments and exams yet to be completed. Also included in the contract is the beginning and completion date of the contract period. The contract period will not exceed beyond mid-term of the next semester. For students in accelerated programs, the contract period may not exceed beyond six months from the date the incomplete was approved. The student, the instructor, and the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs) must sign the contract. A copy is provided for the student, instructor, and Registrar. At the end of the contracted period, the instructor must replace the "I" grade with an appropriate grade. If the instructor has not changed the "I" grade within the specified contract period, the "I" grade will be changed to the grade previously assigned by the instructor if the missing work is not completed. The "I" grade is not used in the computation of a student’s grade point average.

Withdrawals

When a student finds it necessary to withdraw from all classes, he or she must officially withdraw from the College or the academic record will reflect the grade assigned by the instructor according to the instructor's grading policy for that class. The withdrawal process begins in the Office of the Registrar and ends with the filing of the proper paperwork in the Business Office. During the fall and spring semesters, students have until the end of the last business day of the eighth week to withdraw from a class and not have a grade reported for the course. After the eighth week, no withdrawals are possible and the student will receive a grade for the course. Summer sessions and courses meeting at special times (BSN) have withdrawal dates that may vary. Students must check the current, official Academic Calendar or the Office of the Registrar to find out the allowed dates of withdrawal for those classes. Once a student has officially registered; in order to receive a 100% refund, a withdrawal form must be completed prior to the first day of class.

Courses By Special Arrangement

Under certain circumstances, students may petition for an “arranged” section of a required course that is unavailable to them at its regularly scheduled time. The decision to authorize such an arranged class is made by the student’s advisor, the applicable division chair/dean, the Registrar, and the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs), respectively. Factors taken into consideration include the degree of conflict, convenience, previous opportunities to take the course, semesters remaining in which the course might be taken, and whether or not a substitution or waiver of the required course might be possible. An additional fee will be required when the course is solely for the convenience of the student and not due to some error on the part of the College.

Directed Study

In consultation with an advisor or sponsor, students are invited to propose directed study in subject areas not included in the catalog or in the regular curriculum. This opportunity is available as an accommodation to students where special need, strong interest, and a lack of appropriate alternatives exist. Approval of directed study is by the student’s advisor, the applicable division chair/dean, the Registrar, and the Vice President and Dean of Faculty (Office of Academic Affairs). An additional fee will be required.

Transfer of Credits

Bacone accepts credits of those courses with a grade of “C” or better from other regionally accredited institutions of higher learning. However, Bacone reserves the right to determine for itself those credits it will accept in transfer to meet the graduation requirements. Courses will not be accepted in transfer and applied to student degree programs until the College has made such determination and the student’s advisor, the applicable division chair/dean, and the Registrar have granted PRIOR approval. Transfer credits will only be applied to the permanent record of a student currently enrolled at the College. Transcripts received for a student who does not have a current enrollment will be filed until such time as the student officially enrolls for classes at Bacone. A Request for Transfer of College Credit form may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office.

Transfer of Credit Policy for Non-Regionally Accredited Institutions

The Higher Learning Commission states, in their Commission Policy and Good Practices on Transfer of Credit, under The Role and Responsibilities of Institutions that colleges and universities are ultimately responsible for decisions about the admission of transfer students and the acceptance or non-acceptance of credits earned elsewhere. Typically, academic faculty and student affairs professionals (working within the framework of faculty rules and standards) determine the transferability of courses and programs. Institutions must balance responsiveness to students’ preferences about transfer with institutional commitment to the value and quality of degrees or other credentials.

In light of this statement from the HLC, the following procedure will be followed in determining how transfer of credits will, or will not be applied from an institution of higher learning that is not regionally accredited based upon the previously noted HLC Practices on Transfer of Credit.

Step 1 – Registrar will contact surrounding area colleges who are regionally accredited to see if they have accepted credits from the college in question.

Step 2 – The student will be notified that Bacone College will need a syllabus for every course the students wants to have accepted in transfer.

Step 3 – A copy of the course syllabus received will be sent to the respective Division Chair/Dean for consideration. The Division Chair/Dean may determine that a specific faculty member in their department with expertise in the area of the course should review the syllabus. Once a review of the syllabus has been conducted, acceptance/denial will be noted and sent to the Registrar.

Step 4 – The Registrar will keep a paper trail of any syllabi sent to Division Chairs/Deans. Once a determination has been received from the Division Chair/Dean, the Registrar will notify the student by written communication.

Transfer of Elective Credit – Bacone College will not accept elective credit from an unaccredited institution unless it is a recognized course that it offers.

1. By personally stopping by the Office of the Registrar, located in Journeycake Hall on the campus of Bacone College;

2. By mailing a request to the Office of the Registrar, Bacone College, 2299 Old Bacone Road, Muskogee, OK 74403; or

3. By faxing a request to the following number 918-781-7416. All requests for transcripts must include the following information:

e. the signature of the person’s whose transcript is requested, authorizing release of the transcript

f. payment of a transcript fee - - check, money order, or Visa/Master Charge accepted.

Bacone College reserves the right to withhold official and unofficial transcripts until satisfactory arrangements have been made for payment in full of an outstanding student account in the Business Office.

Continuing Education

Continuing education is designed to meet the ongoing educational and occupational needs of east central Oklahoma area residents. Linking the community and the college, continuing education operates on the premise that learning is a life-long process. Focusing on a wide range of educational categories, Continuing Education courses aim toward fulfilling the needs of students of every age, economic status, and educational level.

Supplemental Academic Services

Student Learning and Faculty Resource Center (SLFRC)

The Student Learning and Faculty Resource Center provides academic support to all students by providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in a college classroom. The services available to students include tutoring and academic skill development. One of the unique services provided by the SLFRC is the individualized assessment of a student’s learning style(s). This information is helpful in directing students into those study/learning strategies that can help assure success in their college coursework. The Center is located in Academic Support Center located on the second floor of the Palmer Center.

Student Support Services

Student Support Services is a unique program designed to provide a special environment in which students can come to meet their academic, personal career and social needs. The goal of the program is to improve the retention and graduation rates of students. This is accomplished through tutoring, study skills development, career assessment, counseling, academic advisement, etc. To qualify, one must (1) be an American citizen, (2) have an academic need, and (3) meet one of the following criteria: a) first-generation college student (neither parent has a 4-year college degree); b) financially disadvantaged, and/or c) physically challenged. To inquire about services call (918) 683-4581 ext. 7254 or drop by the Student Support Services Office located in the Academic Support Center on the second floor of the Palmer Center.

Bacone College accepts students with learning and physical disabilities and provides reasonable accommodation to help them be successful. Depending on the nature of the disability, some students may need to take a lighter course load and may need more than four years to graduate. Students needing accommodation should apply as early as possible, usually the semester before they plan to attend classes. Immediately after admittance, students need to identify and document the nature of their disabilities. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the College with appropriate materials documenting the learning and/or physical disability. This documentation usually consists of a recent high school Individualized Education Program (IEP) or results from testing done by a psychologist, psychiatrist, medical doctor and/or qualified, licensed individual. The College does not provide assessment services for students who may be learning disabled nor does the College have structured programs available for students with emotional or behavioral disabilities.
