They work indoors and outdoors and in nearly every type of facility. Almost all electricians work full-time, which may include evenings and weekends. Although the work is not as dangerous as other construction occupations, potential injuries include electrical shocks and burns, cuts, and falls. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, most electricians learn through an apprenticeship, and many start out by attending a technical school. Most states require electricians to be licensed. The median annual wage for electricians was $51,880 in May 2015. Employment of electricians is projected to grow 14% from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. As homes and businesses require more wiring, electricians will be needed to install the necessary components. Electricians with the widest variety of skills should have the best job opportunities.

In recent years, applications of mathematics have expanded far beyond the traditional boundaries of physics, chemistry, and engineering. Biologists, sociologists, economists, psychologists, and even historians and lawyers have reached out to mathematicians in their quest for indisputable conclusions and novel methods of investigation. Thus, pure and applied mathematicians are and always will be in demand. Grayson College offers an Associate of Science (AS) Degree in Mathematics as part of the Science and Technology Career Pathway. This program opens the door to an attractive future for students who want to prepare for careers in fields requiring a solid background in quantitative analysis, transfer to university, or to teach mathematics at various levels. The Associate of Science (AS) Degree requires that TSI requirements are met. Program Mission Statement The Department of Mathematics seeks to ensure that all students are given a basic understanding of mathematical reasoning and some experience of its application. More advanced techniques and interpretative skills are taught to those whose chosen disciplines require them. The Mathematics Department offers courses of study that initiate students into the active practice and use of mathematics. Mathematics majors are provided with the background necessary to pursue careers in industry, to teach in the secondary schools, or to succeed in further study. Program Philosophy It is the belief of the Mathematics staff of Grayson College that mathematics is one of the fundamental skills of learning. The basics of mathematics, along with other essential communication skills, are ingredients that cannot be excluded from any student's formal training. We recognize qualitative literacy as being necessary for survival in a rapidly changing technological society. It is therefore agreed that despite the differences that exist in learning potential or individual student's achievement, there are certain common goals for all students in mathematics: the development of problem-solving and critical thinking skills; the facility to analyze data, make quantitative and qualitative comparisons, identify trends, and make valid conclusions and predictions; the capacity to make estimates and recognize reasonable results. We regard the skills of mathematics as part of being an educated person and critical to academic training and employment. Furthermore, we consider cooperation with the community, industry, and those in higher education essential in the development and delivery of a mathematics program which effectively educates our citizens and communicates the need for this education to all.

Family Rights & Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are \"eligible students.\" Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies. Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information. Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31): School officials with legitimate educational interest; Other schools to which a student is transferring; Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; Accrediting organizations; To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law. Schools may disclose, without consent, \"directory\" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Federal Law 93-380, information classified as \u201cDirectory Information\u201d may be released to the general public without the consent of the student. Directory information is defined as: Student name Student address Telephone number College email address Date and place of birth Honors and awards Dates of attendance Photograph / visual likeness Other information including a major field of study and degrees and awards received. A student may request that all or any part of the directory information be withheld from the public by making a written request to the Office of Admissions and Records during the first 12 days of class of a fall or spring semester or during the first four days of a summer session. If no request is filed, information may be released upon inquiry. The Registrar is the custodian of all records for currently enrolled students and for students who have withdrawn or graduated. The Registrar is located in the Office of Admissions and Records in the Student Affairs Building, on the Main Campus. Access to Public Information: Requests for Public information must be made in writing and delivered to the Public Information Officer ( publicinformation@grayson.edu ) via email, postal mail or in person. GC uses its fiscal year, September 1 through August 31, for tracking requests. Smoking Policy To promote a healthy campus environment, Grayson College does not allow the use of tobacco products or any electronic smoking devices in college buildings or vehicles. Tobacco products and electronic smoking devices are permitted only in designated areas or parking lots. Photo and Video Usage Grayson College may at times use photographs, audio, and/or video recordings of employees and students for purposes of education, publicity, and student recruitment on behalf of the college, via the Internet, print publications, and other media. Should an employee or student (or the parents or guardians of such persons who are under the age 18) NOT want to be photographed or recorded, or have his/her name or \u201cdirectory\u201d information used in connection with any such recording, that person must notify the college in writing a nd submit to the Office of Admissions and Records (students) and Human Resources Office (employees) Individuals who choose to opt-out are also responsible for removing themselves from areas in which photography and/or recording is taking place, or notifying the camera operator of their opt-out status. Failure to do so may result in that individual\u2019s inclusion in a photograph or recording and will be treated as consent for the college to utilize that photograph or recording accordingly.

For more information, please visit https://www.grayson.edu/victor-e-bundle/ Tuition and Fees for Auditing Courses Tuition and fees for auditing a course are the same as those paid by students registering for credit. The deadline for auditing a class is the census date for the course. Students must complete audit forms in the Office of Admissions and Records to audit a course. If paperwork is not submitted by the census date, the student will receive a grade in the course, and the course and grade will appear on the student\u2019s transcript. Payment of Tuition and Fees All tuition and fees must be paid by payment deadlines. Payments may be made in the Business Office. Payments can also be made in MyViking. A payment plan is available through MyViking (Nelnet). Excessive Credit Hours Texas Education Code Section 54.068 stipulates that the State of Texas will not provide funds to state institutions of higher education for excess semester credit hours earned by a resident undergraduate student. Since funding will not be provided by the State, and as permitted by State law, certain state institutions of higher education will charge tuition at the non-resident rate to students who exceed the semester credit hour limit of their program. Effective with students initially enrolling in the fall 1999 semester and subsequent terms, hours, including dual credit hours attempted by a resident undergraduate student at any public Texas institution of higher education that exceeds more than 45 hours of the number of hours required for completion of the degree plan in which the student is enrolled. Effective with students initially enrolling in the fall 2006 semester and subsequent terms, hours, including dual credit hours attempted by a resident undergraduate student at any public Texas institution of higher education that exceeds more than 30 hours of the number of hours required for completion of the degree program in which the student is enrolled. For purposes of excess hours, a resident undergraduate student includes a non-resident student who is permitted to pay resident tuition. Students could be impacted by this law and should be aware of the impact of taking courses in excess of their degree program, and if they plan to transfer to other institutions of higher education in Texas. Third Attempt \u201cRider 50\u201d Tuition Students of GC are charged a higher tuition rate for each course they repeat three or more times at a rate of $60 per credit hour. The \u201cthird attempt\u201d course tuition rate applies to the majority of credit courses counting each time a student has taken a course since Fall 2002. \u201cThird attempt\u201d tuition does not apply to developmental education courses and repeatable courses. A student enrolled in their last semester at GC taking a course required for graduation will not be charged the higher rate even though the course has been taken three or more times. The qualifying student should contact the Office of Admissions and Records before the beginning of their last semester to request a waiver of the Third Attempt \"Rider 50\" Tuition. The student must notify the Office of Admissions and Records which course(s) is the repeated, required course to avoid the higher \u201cthird attempt\u201d course tuition rate. Returned Check Policy A $25.00 returned check fee is charged for each check returned by the bank. A stop-payment is considered the same as a returned check. All returned checks and returned check fees must be paid by cash, cashier\u2019s check, MasterCard or Visa. Students are notified of returned checks by certified mail. If the returned check is not redeemed by the deadline specified in the letter, the student is withdrawn from classes for that term and a hold is placed on the student\u2019s record. Subsequent reinstatement for that term can be granted only through a successful appeal to the Registrar and requires a $50.00 reinstatement fee. Financial Obligations Until all financial obligations to the College have been satisfied, a hold is placed on a student\u2019s record, which bars the student from registering or having an official transcript issued. If an official transcript is needed for employment purposes, the College will send an official transcript directly to the employer upon request from the student. Unofficial transcripts are available to the student by contacting the Office of Admissions and Records Residency Requirements for Tuition Purposes To be considered a Texas resident, students must clearly establish residence in Texas for the 12 months preceding their enrollment. Documentation of Texas residency may be required in addition to the application for admissions. In-District Rate: Charged to an individual who is a resident of Texas (as defined by the Texas Education Code, Section 54.075) and who resides in Grayson County on the census date of the term. Out-of-District Rate: Charged to a student who is a resident of Texas (as defined by the Texas Education Code, Section 54.075) and who resides outside of Grayson County on the census date of the term. Non-Resident Rate: Charged to an out-of-state student who has not resided in Texas for 12 months preceding registration. Anyone who enrolls as a non-resident of Texas is presumed to remain in that classification as long as they continue as a student. Most students on temporary visas will also be classified as nonresidents for tuition purposes. Contact the Office of Admissions and Records for visas eligible for Texas residency. NOTE: Oklahoma residents are classified as non-residents receive a waiver of non-resident tuition and will be charged out-of-district rates. The responsibility for registering under the proper residency classification is that of the student, and any question concerning the student\u2019s right to classification as a resident of Grayson County must be clarified prior to enrollment at Grayson College. Changes of address affecting residency should be reported promptly to the Office of Admissions and Records. The Office of Admissions and Records handles all residency appeals. The residency appeal and supporting documentation is the responsibility of the student. Documents to Support Residency Documentation of Texas residency may be required in order to pay out-of-district tuition. Generally, the following documents may be used in meeting residency requirements: Texas public, private, home school or high school transcript (if enrolled in the last 12 months) showing three years of attendance and graduation date. Letter of employment on company letterhead (verifying one year of employment). Proof of paying in-state tuition at a Texas public institution of higher education during the previous fall or spring long semesters. Waiver for Property Ownership Persons who own property in Grayson County and reside outside the taxing district may be eligible for an ad-valorem waiver. Contact the Office of Admissions and Records for information. Tuition Rebates for Certain Undergraduates First-time students entering Texas public institutions of higher education may be eligible for a $1,000 tuition rebate after earning a baccalaureate degree from a public Texas university. To be eligible for the rebate, a student must be a Texas resident and have attempted no more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree in the catalog under which they graduated. Community college students hoping to qualify for the rebate should check with academic advising at the university where they plan to transfer to be sure the courses they are taking will apply to the university degree program they are pursuing. For specific eligibility information, contact the Advising Office at GC.

Students receiving Title IV funds (Pell, other federal grants and student loans) who subsequently withdraw from classes, or do not begin attendance in all courses, will be required to return all or a portion of the federal financial aid received in a process called calculation of Return to Title IV. Only the percentage of aid earned (determined by the percentage of time attended) will be eligible for retention on the student\u2019s behalf. Any aid that is not earned must be returned to its source. If there is a student account balance resulting from these adjustments, the student is responsible for payment. Further details can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. A portion may be returned to the student only after the appropriate amounts have been allocated to the Title IV Programs. No refund to a Title IV Program shall exceed the award from that program. Tuition and fees refunds will be processed two to three weeks after the census date of the appropriate term.

Financial and Veteran Aid Financial Aid The Office of Financial Aid is available to help eligible students meet the cost of attending college. Financial aid opportunities include: scholarships, grants, loans, exemptions, vouchers, work opportunities, and other sources to qualified students enrolled in eligible programs. The level of federal and/ or state financial aid provided to students is based upon demonstrated financial need. Processing time is usually three to four weeks; students are encouraged to complete a FAFSA ( https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa ) as early as possible. The Department of Education releases the FAFSA application on October 1st of each year. The income information needed to complete the FAFSA is now considered to be the prior year. Example: the FAFSA for the 2023-2024 year will use 2021 income tax returns. Advantages of filing your FAFSA as early as possible: Ample time to submit any documents requested by the Department of Education Many state funds are awarded based on priority date of submission Time for financial planning for the upcoming school year Many awards are allocated by funding amounts (first come, first serve eligibility) Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid (SAP) Regulations for federal and state financial aid programs require that students make satisfactory academic progress (SAP) to be eligible for financial aid funding. SAP consists of three components and all three components must be satisfactory in order to be eligible to receive federal and/or state financial aid. SAP will be determined at the end of each semester. It is important to be aware of how this evaluation relates to Title IV state aid and differs from academic requirements and earning a degree. Although standards may differ among colleges, all colleges are required to include certain components detailed below. Students who do not have an academic history at Grayson College (first-time college enrollment or incoming transfer student) are evaluated upon receipt of their FAFSA information and enrollment. Satisfactory Academic Progress = GPA + Pace (Completion Rate) + Max Time Frame All three standards must be met for SAP to be maintained. SAP is evaluated using cumulative grades and credit hours, this includes semesters when no aid was received. Grade Point Average: Students enrolled in college-level course work must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0. Grades of A, B, C, D, and F contribute toward the cumulative GPA. Pace (Completion Rate): Students must successfully complete at least 67% of all courses attempted in their academic career (excluding developmental courses). Grades of A, B, C, D, P, and S are treated as satisfactorily completed and earned. Grades F, W, and I are not. All repeat courses are included in attempted credits and any courses with passing grades are treated as earned. Courses taken on an audit basis and/or continuing education classes, do not count when determining enrollment status for financial aid, nor are they considered as credits earned or unearned for the purposes of determining pace. Pace = Cumulative Earned Hours (Credits) ÷ Cumulative Attempted Hours (Credits) Max Time Frame: Students pursuing a degree and/or certificate may not receive financial aid for more than 150% of the attempted credit hours of the published program length as stated in the Grayson College Catalog. Withdrawals, drops, repeated courses, and transfer hours are counted toward the total hours attempted each semester. Warning / Suspension / Failure to Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress Financial Aid Warning: Financial Aid Warning occurs the first semester following when the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0 and/or cumulative pace is less than 67% for any semester. The Director of Financial Aid and Veteran Services also reserves the right, through professional judgment, to place a student on Financial Aid Warning. There is no need to appeal Financial Aid Warning. Students will receive financial aid for one additional semester while on warning; this includes student loans. If, by the end of the warning semester, a student is not meeting satisfactory academic progress, the student will be placed on financial aid suspension. There is no warning period for exceeding the max time frame. Financial Aid Suspension: If, after being on Financial Aid Warning, a student has a cumulative grade point average less than 2.0 and/or a cumulative completion rate less than 67% they will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. If a student can no longer mathematically complete the program within the max time frame for their program they will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. Students on Financial Aid Suspension may continue to enroll at Grayson College at their own expense. Students may regain their eligibility for financial aid by raising their GPA and/or Pace. In some cases, they may regain eligibility when moving from one degree plan to a higher degree plan. Ex: Certificate to an Associate's or from an Associate\u2019s to a Bachelor\u2019s degree. A student may also file an appeal to regain eligibility. Appeal Process: Students placed on Financial Aid Suspension may have the right to appeal due to mitigating circumstance(s) that affected the student\u2019s progression toward the successful completion of their program of study. Information regarding the appeal process can be found online on the Satisfactory Academic Progress web page. (grayson.edu/FinancialAid/satisfactory-academic-progress.html) Academic Fresh Start: Students who apply and receive approval for Academic Fresh Start from GC\u2019s Office of Admissions and Records are not exempt from meeting all three components of satisfactory academic progress for financial aid at Grayson College. All courses will be considered in the calculations for satisfactory academic progress components for financial aid, including fresh start. Cumulative GPA, cumulative attempted, and cumulative earned hours will not be recalculated for satisfactory academic progress. Repeated Courses and Courses Dropped before the official census date: Credits that have been repeated will be considered toward the max time frame for the student\u2019s program and be counted in the calculation for Pace. Courses dropped before census date will not be considered in max time frame or Pace calculation. Students who withdraw completely from their courses or receive any combination of all F, W, and/or I: Federal regulations require the institution to perform a Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation for all students who are within this category. Students will be notified of the amount of unearned aid that must be returned to GC and/or the Department of Education. Establishing Your Aid in the Office of Financial Aid: Each student seeking federal and/or state financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students and/or parents are encouraged to obtain an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA electronically. Failure to sign the application electronically may delay the processing of your application. Grayson College\u2019s school code (003570) must be entered on the FAFSA in order for the Office of Financial Aid to receive the application. To complete a FAFSA electronically, visit the Federal Student Aid Website (https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa). Computers with internet access are located in the Grayson College Library or outside the Office of Financial Aid in the Student Affairs Building. Students classified as Texas residents who are not eligible to apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) and provide applicable documentation as requested by the Office of Financial Aid.  The TASFA application can be found on the College for All Texans website ( http://www.collegeforalltexans.com/index.cfm?objectid=a3119543-cbf8-c202-f1b0eefd5f4b9805 ). Please refer to the GC Office of Financial Aid DACA webpage for more information. (https://www.grayson.edu/financialaid/undocumented-daca.html) Financial Aid status can be reviewed by accessing MyViking on the College website. For more information about requirements, qualifications, and application deadlines, contact the Office of Financial Aid. Federal Pell Grant: The Federal Pell Grant Program was designed to provide more students with the opportunity to attend college. Grants are based upon financial need and are awarded to eligible students enrolled in an approved degree or certificate program. The length of this grant is limited to 6 full years or 12 full-time semesters. Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG): A limited number of students who demonstrate financial need and whose circumstances justify financial assistance in addition to the Pell Grant may be eligible for this grant. Students must be enrolled for at least six semester hours of college credit course work or the equivalent per semester. TEOG Grant (Texas Educational Opportunity Grant): This grant is awarded to Texas residents based on eligibility, financial need, and availability of funds. The purpose of the TEOG Grant program is to provide grant aid to financially needy students enrolled in Texas public colleges. Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG): This grant is awarded to Texas residents and certain non-residents based on financial need and availability of funds. Students must be enrolled for at least three semester hours of college credit course work or the equivalent during each semester. No individual award may be more than the student\u2019s financial need. Federal Direct Subsidized Loan: This loan is available to qualified students based upon financial need. Loan limits are published on the Grayson College website and are available in the Office of Financial Aid. The interest rate, determined by the federal government, does not accrue and does not have to be paid while the borrower is enrolled in at least half-time and while the borrower is within the time frame of their program length. Repayment usually begins six months after the student graduates, drops below half-time, or leaves school. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: This loan is not based on financial need and may be available to students who may not be eligible for the subsidized loans; but may not exceed the limits set by the federal government which are listed on the Grayson College website. The interest rate is determined by the federal government and begins accruing immediately on the date of disbursement. Federal Direct PLUS Loan: This loan is available to qualified parents of dependent students who may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial assistance. The interest rate is set by the federal government and is a variable rate, not to exceed 10%. Repayment of PLUS loans begins within 60 days of the final disbursement. Applicants of this loan must pass a credit check. Recipients of Veterans Educational Benefits If you are a veteran, spouse of a veteran or a dependent of a veteran and you are receiving VA Educational Benefits, please check with your financial aid advisor/counselor before completing the loan process. Student Employment All students employed in the Work Study program are required to complete an application for employment and must submit to a background check. Work Study positions are available on campus. Applications may be picked up in the Office of Financial Aid or downloaded from MyViking. Federal Work Study Program: Grayson College provides work opportunities for students through the federally funded College Work Study Program. The primary purpose of this program is to provide part-time employment for students attending GC. It is designed for students who demonstrate financial need are enrolled in at least six semester hours and who need additional earnings to continue to pursue their studies. State Work Study Program: This program provides a limited number of work opportunities for eligible students who are Texas residents and enrolled in at least six semester hours of college credit course work. Return to Title IV (R2T4) When a recipient of Title IV funds (grant and/or loan) completely fails or withdraws from an institution during a payment period or period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, Grayson College will determine the amount of aid the student earned as of the student's withdrawal date or last day of academic-related activity (34 CFR 668.22(a)). Each student is responsible for withdrawal from their courses if they do not plan to attend. Do not assume your courses will be dropped for nonpayment or nonattendance. A student may owe a balance if they enrolled and did not withdraw from classes prior to the first class day. It is suggested that students maintain documentation indicating their withdrawal date. Students receiving Title IV funds, who subsequently completely withdraw from or fail all their courses, may be required to return a portion of the federal financial aid they received. Only the percentage of aid earned (determined by the percentage of time they attended) will be eligible for retention on the student\u2019s behalf. Any aid that is not earned must be returned to its source. If there is a student account balance resulting from an R2T4 adjustment, the student is responsible for payment. Further details can be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. If a student owes a repayment to the Department of Education, they may call DOE Collections at 1-800-621-3115. If a balance is owed to Grayson College, they can contact the Business Office at 903-463-8718. Rehabilitation Assistance The Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) offers assistance with tuition and required fees to students, who have certain physical or emotional disabilities, provided the vocational objective selected by the student has been approved by the appropriate representative of the commission. DARS offers other rehabilitation services to assist students with disabilities to become employed. Application for assistance must be submitted to the local DARS office.

In order to receive VA educational assistance payments for those courses taken at Grayson College which are part of another institution\u2019s degree plan, students must obtain a parent letter from the primary institution (university). The official college transcript will provide a final record of the credits attempted by the veteran each semester. Official drop dates are published in the Academic Calendar. The last date of attendance in a course that was dropped will be determined from the date submitted at the Office of Admissions and Records. Final grades are submitted by the faculty and maintained on permanent file in the Office of Admissions and Records. The Department of Veterans Affairs requires that the College interrupt training and report the names of veterans who are placed on academic suspension. A veteran who applies for admission to Grayson College must submit official transcripts from all previous colleges attended, including the Joint Service Transcript. If any credits earned are applicable toward the degree plan of the student, they will be approved by the appropriate academic dean. Minimum Standards of Progress for Students Receiving VA Educational Benefits Satisfactory Progress A student who is receiving VA educational benefits must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher to be considered as making satisfactory progress. Probation A VA student who fails to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher after one semester shall be placed on Academic Probation. Graduation Schools are required to report program completion and/or graduation for students who completed or graduated while using VA education benefits. Once a student completes their program and/or graduates for their approved degree program, GC Veteran Services Office is required to submit a change in student status indicating \u201cGraduation\u201d as the termination reason directly to the VA.  Attendance Policy for Students Receiving VA Educational Benefits Students using Veterans\u2019 benefits attending Grayson College will have attendance monitored until the time the student drops, graduates, or completes the program. Unsatisfactory attendance shall be reported to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) even if the student has completed the required number of hours to complete and no refund is due to the student and/or refund sources. Therefore, the attendance policy (15% of the total program and/or being absent five (5) consecutive days) will apply throughout the student\u2019s stay in school. All violations of the attendance policy shall be reported to the VA on VA Form 22-1999b within 30 days at such time the student exceeds the allowed number of absences. The student may be administratively withdrawn from any course for noncompliance with the Student Attendance Policy.

Readmission of Service Members Grayson College will promptly readmit a service member with the same academic status they had when last attending the school or accepted for admission to the school. This applies to any student who cannot attend school due to military service. Grayson College must admit the student with the same academic status, which means: to the same program to which the student was last admitted or, if that exact program is no longer offered, the program that is most similar to that program, unless she chooses a different program; at the same enrollment status, unless the student wants to enroll at a different enrollment status; with the same number of credit hours or clock hours previously completed, unless the student is readmitted to a different program to which the completed credit hours or clock hours are not transferable, and with the same academic standing (e.g., with the same satisfactory academic progress status) the student previously had Grayson College will promptly readmit the student into the next class or classes in the program beginning after he provides notice of intent to reenroll, unless he requests a later date or unusual circumstances require the school to admit him at a later date. Grayson College must readmit a qualifying service member to the next class even if that class is at the maximum enrollment level set by the state. If the student is readmitted to the same program, for the first academic year in which he returns, the school must assess the tuition and fee charges that he was or would have been assessed for the academic year during which he left the school. However, if his veterans education benefits or other service member education benefits will pay the higher tuition and fee charges that other students in the program are paying for the year, the school may assess those charges to the student as well. If the student is admitted to a different program, and for subsequent academic years for a student admitted to the same program, the school must assess no more than the tuition and fee charges that other students in the program are assessed for that academic year. Grayson College designates the Office of Admissions and Records as the office that a student may contact to provide notification of service and notification of intent to return. The cumulative length of the absence and of all previous absences from the school for military service may not exceed five years. Only the time the student spends actually performing service is counted. Admissions Requirements for Non-Citizens It is the goal of Grayson College to make educational opportunities available to all students who can benefit from its programs. With such a goal, however, is the commensurate responsibility to make every effort to assure that students can function within the institution with a reasonable chance for success.

Auditing a Course When space is available, persons wishing to audit a course may do so by completing an application and meeting the admission criteria stated in the Admissions section of the Catalog. Full tuition will be charged for auditing a course. Auditors must complete the Request for Audit form in the Office of Admissions and Records on or before the official census date published in the A cademic C alendar. After the official census date, a student\u2019s audit status may not be changed. Students auditing courses will receive grades of AU (Audit). Class Attendance Academic success is closely associated with regular class attendance and course participation. All successful students, whether on campus or online, are expected to be highly self-motivated. All students are required to participate in courses regularly and are obliged to participate in class activities and complete and submit assignments following their professors\u2019 instructions. Students taking courses during compressed semester time frames such as mini sessions , summer sessions, and 8-week terms should plan to spend significantly more time per week on the course. Responsibility for work missed because of illness or school business is placed upon the student. Instructors are required to include in their syllabi the attendance policy for the courses(s) they teach. The College considers absences equal to or greater than 15% of the course\u2019s requirements to be excessive. Students enrolled in corequisite courses should attend both the developmental lab course and the college-level course regularly for successful completion and to meet TSI requirements. In online courses, a student shall be considered present and/or having attended i f they have completed one of the following: Posts to a class discussion Submits a written assignment or project via file upload Takes a quiz or an exam Submits work through a third party software such as Pearson or McGraw Hill, and the grade is transferred to the LMS Gradebook; or Initiates contact with a faculty member via email to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course . Student Absences on Religious Holy Days Grayson College will allow students who are absent from class for the observance of a religious holiday to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence. The form for requesting absence for holy days may be obtained from the Vice President of Instruction. \u201cReligious holy day\u201d denotes a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under section 11:20, Tax Code. A student who is excused under this section may not be penalized for the absence, but the instructor may appropriately respond if the student fails to satisfactorily complete the assignment or examination. Dropping a Class A class drop means that a student has dropped one or more classes but remains enrolled in other classes for the semester. During periods of open registration, students may drop one or more classes using MyViking. After the deadline for schedule changes passes, all drops must be handled by the student contacting each professor or program director either in person or via email for the course(s) they wish to drop. Professors will email drops@grayson.edu to request a drop. No drop requests will be accepted directly from the student. Drops will not be accepted after the drop deadline for the semester. Students may not drop courses at Grayson College over the phone. If a student wishes to drop all of their courses, they should initiate a complete withdrawal from the College through their Success Coach. Limitation on Number of Dropped Courses (ONLY affects drops occurring after census date) Under section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, \u201can institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more than six courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education.\u201d A College District student shall not be permitted to drop more than six courses taken while enrolled at the College District or another public institution of higher education. For the limit to apply: The student must be permitted to drop the course without receiving a grade or being penalized academically; The student\u2019s transcript must indicate or will indicate the student was enrolled in the course; and The student must not have dropped the course to withdraw from the College District.

Exception for COVID-19 Pandemic A course dropped by a student during the 2020 spring or summer semester or the 2020\u201321 academic year because of a bar or limit on in-person course attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic may not be counted toward the limit on the number of dropped courses. Withdrawing from College A complete withdrawal indicates a student is no longer enrolled in any courses at the College for the semester . During periods of registration, students who enroll online using MyViking may also withdraw from school via the same method. Students wishing to withdraw from all courses must first contact one of the following: their professor , program director or Success Coach in person or via email. Students who withdraw prior to the semester's drop deadline will receive a grade of W. The Office of Admissions and Records does not accept withdrawal date deadline appeals. Merely discontinuing class attendance does not constitute a complete withdrawal from the college. . Students who do not officially withdraw will be given a grade of F for the course. Change of Schedule During periods of registration, students may change their schedules via the ir MyViking . Students cannot change their schedule online through MyViking after the schedule change deadline. All students who wish to change their schedules must do so before the end of the schedule change period published in the Academic Calendar. Schedule changes can be made up to the first day of a 3-week term, the first two days of a 5-week or 8-week term, and the first four days of a 16-week term. After the schedule change deadline, students must contact each professor or program director via email or in-person for the course(s) they wish to drop . After the census date of each term, students initiate drops by contacting their instructor. Classes dropped on or before the official census date of the term will not appear on the student\u2019s transcript. Credit Award Program The credit award program is a means by which students may be awarded college credit for past experience or education that is equivalent to courses offered at Grayson College. The learning must be applicable to the student\u2019s educational goals. Credit may be awarded by the following methods: CLEP Advanced Placement Exam Departmental Exam International Baccalaureate Clock Hour Conversion Tech Prep Military Training/Joint Service Transcript (JST) Dantes Professional Certification Students seeking a credit award for tests other than those listed above should check with the Office of Admissions and Records. A student may not receive credit award for credit courses in which the student has enrolled at GC or any other accredited institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education .

A transcript of college work is an official copy of the student\u2019s permanent record listing all coursework at the College and bearing the signature of the Registrar.  More information on requesting transcripts can be found under the Self Service transcript heading under Registration. Official transcripts will not be released to students with academic or financial holds until such holds are cleared. Academic Achievement Grading and Credit (EGA Local) Grayson College shall have appropriate standards for evaluating student performance and for determining grades and graduation requirements. GC uses the following grading system: A \u2014 The student demonstrates mastery of course content and meets course objectives. The grade of A is an exceptional grade attained by students demonstrating exceptional performance of college-level work. B \u2014 The student demonstrates mastery of course content and meets selected objectives. The grade of B is an above-average grade attained by students demonstrating above-average performance of college-level work. C \u2014 The student demonstrates acceptable competency in coursework and meets selected course objectives. The grade of C is an average grade attained by students demonstrating average performance of college-level work. Students with concurrent enrollment for high school and college credit must maintain a minimal grade of C in the course. D \u2014 The student demonstrates minimal performance in coursework and does not meet course objectives. The grade of D is considered unsatisfactory in a student\u2019s major field of study, and this grade generally does not transfer. F \u2014 Failure. No credit is given for the grade of F. I \u2014 Incomplete. The grade of I indicates that the student has a valid excuse for failure to complete the work required during the semester. Incomplete work should be completed no later than the end of the next long semester, but may be set for a shorter length of time by the faculty member as recorded on the Incomplete Form. Failure to remove an I during the succeeding long semester may result in an F being placed on the permanent record. W \u2014 Withdrew. Dropped before the withdrawal date. P \u2014 Passing. S \u2014 Satisfactory. Used for non-degree courses. U \u2014 Unsatisfactory. Used for non-degree courses. AU \u2014 Noncredit. Used for audited courses. Value of Grade Points In determining grade point averages (GPAs), all hours where grade points are given shall be considered in computing GPAs. Grade points are granted on college courses on the basis of the value in semester hours of the course and the grade made in the course as follows: A = 4 grade points per semester hour B = 3 grade points per semester hour C = 2 grade points per semester hour D = 1 grade point per semester hour F = 0 grade points per semester hour Grade Point Determination The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted. Grades of I, W, P, S, U, AU, and F in pass/fail courses are excluded from GPA calculation. Grades earned in developmental courses are also excluded from GPA calculation Repeated Course Policy Effective the 2020-2021 academic year, Grayson College allows the repeat of courses with the highest grade considered as the official grade. Only the highest grade will be calculated in the Cumulative GPA, although all attempts will be listed on the transcript. See specific health science special admissions packets for details on grade calculation.  Scholastic Standards Good Standing: A student will be considered in good academic standing with a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher. Academic Warning: A student will be placed on Academic Warning when the cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 for one long semester. Academic Probation: When a student\u2019s cumulative GPA remains below a 2.0 for more than one long semester, the student will be placed on Academic Probation. Students on probation will be required to meet with their Success Coach to establish an individualized success plan. Students on Academic Probation are not eligible to hold office in student clubs/organizations. PLEASE NOTE:  Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress is a separate policy and may affect financial aid eligibility (please reference the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy for further details). President\u2019s and Dean\u2019s Lists The GC President\u2019s and Dean\u2019s lists are awarded at the end of the fall and spring semesters to students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in their coursework. Students must be enrolled in at least 12 hours at GC during the fall or spring semester. Developmental courses, incomplete courses, credit awards, and courses with W or P grades are not counted in the full-time determination for the honor. The President\u2019s list will be awarded to students earning a 4.0 GPA. The Dean\u2019s list will be awarded to students earning a 3.75 to 3.99 GPA. Registration Registration dates and times are available online via the College website. All tuition and fees must be paid by payment deadlines. Payment may be made by cash, check, payment plan, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover cards. Students who have financial or academic holds on their records will not be allowed to register until the hold is cleared by the appropriate office. Office of Admission and Records The Office of Admission and Records assists prospective, current, and former students. Students can contact this office for assistance with admission applications and requirements, graduation, enrollment verifications, audit forms, credit awards, residency appeals, and transcripts. Verification of Enrollment Students may contact the Office of Admission and Records in order to request verification of enrollment. Verification of Student Degrees Grayson College has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide degree verifications. Students, employment agencies, credit issuers and other student service providers can contact the National Student Clearinghouse directly to receive degree verification at 703.742.7791 or studentclearinghouse.org. Self-Service Transcript Requests Students may print unofficial transcripts from MyViking and may request an official transcript, free of charge, by visiting the Office of Admissions and Records. In addition, all former and current students can visit studentclearinghouse.org to request an official transcript. A fee of $2.50 for mailed orders and $3.50 for electronic orders will be charged and can be paid with a major credit card. Requests are typically handled within three business days. Some record holds can prevent the release of an official transcript. Dual Associate Degrees Dual A ssociate degrees allow students to combine two different degree programs.  Students completing a dual degree program are awarded two distinct degrees. You may not earn two degrees at the same level (e.g. A ssociate degree level) using the same credit. If two A ssociate degrees are granted, the primary major is considered the first degree with a minimum of 60 credits (some majors require more credits). The second or any subsequent degree requires (15 to 18) additional credits, which must be uniquely applicable to the second A ssociate degree curriculum. Before enrolling in coursework toward a second associate degree, you must request an official evaluation. Consult with your Success Coach for more information on earning a second A ssociate degree.

Online Learning Opportunities Grayson College acknowledges the changing environments in which students learn and strives to provide enriched educational experiences and opportunities. Internet-based courses, both fully-online and hybrid, offer students an alternative to the traditional classroom by providing convenient ways to earn college credit. Distance Learning students use their personal computers and/or on-campus computer labs for course content, discussions, exams, and communication with instructors and classmates. Students enrolled fully-online may visit the campus for conferences with the instructor, and/or to take exams. Instructors are available for telephone and personal conferences and may also be contacted via email. Fully Distance Education Courses online  - A course which may have mandatory face-to-face sessions totaling no more than 15% of the instructional time. Examples of face-to-face sessions include orientation, laboratory, exam review, or an in-person test. Hybrid/Blended Course - A course in which a majority (more than 50% but less than 85%) of the planned instruction occurs when the students and instructors are not in the same place. Both fully-online and hybrid courses offer the same quality and learning experiences and require the same time commitment as traditional, face-to-face courses but with added flexibility. Full college credit is awarded upon successful completion of internet-based courses and credit hours are equivalent to those offered on campus. Visit the College website for the latest schedule of fully-online and hybrid courses.  Fully-online courses will include NT or similar designation in the section number. Hybrid courses will contain HY or similar designation in the section number. Please note that some fully-online courses require on-campus or proctored testing.

Wireless Access Grayson College has implemented wireless hotspot access at many locations including the residence halls. Individuals may access the wireless network by using a wireless device supporting either the 802.11G, N, or AC Standards. Articulated Credit Articulated Technical Credit is an initiative by the college to encourage cooperative efforts between secondary and post-secondary institutions to provide articulated career pathways to employment for students existing from these institutions. An articulated technical career pathway is a six-year plan of courses, beginning with grade nine in the secondary school and continuing through the two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program in the community college. Articulated Credits are designed to prepare a high quality workforce that meets current and future regional labor market demands by ensuring that students exit high school and/or community college with marketable skills and the credentials to pursue higher education. Grayson College is actively involved in developing and providing Articulated Credits Associate of Applied Science degree programs in cooperation with area independent school districts. Articulated Credits currently implemented include Accounting, Business & Management, Child Development, Culinary Arts, Computer Maintenance, Advanced Manufacturing, Computer Software & Systems Technology, Criminal Justice, Office & Computer Technology, and Welding Technology. The steps a student should follow to participate in Articulated Credit are: Pick a career path from one of the high school endorsements while in high school. Enroll and succeed in high school courses that are articulated for Grayson College credit. Criteria for the award of articulated credit through a high school Articulated Credit program: Students must meet criteria specified in the articulation agreement. College credit for articulated courses(s) will be posted with a grade of \u201cP\u201d to the student\u2019s college transcript after completion of the first semester at Grayson College. Articulated Credit must be finalized no later than two years after high school graduation. Contact the Office of Admissions and Records with any questions or to learn more about earning articulated credit.
