Nassau a dominant force in the National Junior College Athletic Association. Individual athletes have gone on to
prominence at senior colleges and universities, as well as in professional sports and as coaches and physical education
teachers. In addition to hosting local high school championships, Nassau’s modern Physical Education Complex and
Mitchel Park center are regularly used for world-class competitions such as the U.S. Volleyball National Championships,

General Information
THE COLLEGE A PERSPECTIVE
One of every four college-bound high school graduates in
Nassau County makes Nassau Community College his/her
college of first choice. For most, NCC is the start of an
experience that will lead to four or more years of advanced
learning. For others, earning the two-year Associate degree
will lead to employment in the regional job market.
Sharing the classrooms are a growing number of more
mature students some are attending college for the first
time, others are returning for specialized training that often
leads to career change or advancement.
More than a quarter of today’s student population is over
the age of 25. The College serves these “non-traditional”
students with special adult orientation and advice from
enrolled adult students.
Nassau Community College was created as part of the
State University of New York by the Nassau County Board of
Supervisors on February 9, 1959. When the College opened
in a wing of the County Court House in Mineola on February
1, 1960, it had only 632 students.
Enrollment increased dramatically after 1962, when classes
were moved to spacious facilities at the former U.S. Air
Force base at Mitchel Field. It peaked at over 23,000
students in 1982, following the completionin 1978of two
new academic wings, a modern library, physical education
complex, and administrative tower. Despite fewer high
school graduates today than ever before, 1998 enrollment
totaled 20,62011,001 women and 9,619 men.
In response to the growing student population, in
January 1997, the new Social Sciences and Visual Arts
Building opened, and in September of the same year the
new 85,000 square foot College Center became operational.
As the needs of a maturing Nassau County change, the
College, too, is evolving and developing. Among recent
innovations are a mentoring program that has dramatically
increased the College’s retention rate and a program of
educational outreach directed at business and industry. This
program includes training workshops and individually tailored
courses that can be conducted on campus or at work sites.
To help students expand their opportunities for easy
transfer, the College engages in a cooperative effort with its
SUNY/Long Island neighbors and the private colleges and
universities that comprise the Long Island Regional Advisory
Council on Higher Education.
ACCREDITATION
The College is fully accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Schools and is authorized by
the Board of Regents to award two-year Associate
degrees in Arts (A.A.), Science (A.S.), and Applied
Science (A.A.S.).
In addition, various academic programs are
accredited by the National League for Nursing, the
Technology Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(TAC-ABET), the National Association of Schools of
Music, the American Bar Association, the Commission on
Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education of the
American Physical Therapy Association, the Committee
on Allied Health Education and Accreditation of the
American Medical Association, and the American Board of
Funeral Service Education.

GOVERNANCE AND AUTHORITY
The Academic Senate, composed of representatives of
the teaching faculty, administration, and student body, is
responsible for much of the governance of the College. It is
the institution’s chief legislative body, responsible for
formulating College policy on curriculum, methods of
instruction, research, and those aspects of student life which
relate to the educational process.
The ultimate authority for College operation is vested in
the Board of Trustees, five of whom are appointed by the
Nassau County Executive and four by the Governor of New
York. A tenth member is elected annually by the student
body.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY
The State University of New York encompasses 64
geographically dispersed campuses (both two- and four-
year) to bring educational opportunities to virtually all New
York citizens. It comprises the nation’s largest centrally
managed system of higher education. Nassau Community
College is the largest of 30 two-year colleges operating
under the system. When founded in 1948, the State
University of New York system consolidated 29 State-
operated, but unaffiliated, institutions whose varied histories
of service dated as far back as 1816. It has grown to a point
where its impact is felt educationally, culturally and
economically the length and breadth of the state.
As a comprehensive public university, SUNY provides a
meaningful educational experience to the broadest spectrum
of individuals. Just under 404,000 students (full- and part-
time) are pursuing traditional study in classrooms or are
working at home, at their own pace, through such innovative
institutions as Empire State College, for over two decades a
leader in non-traditional education, distance learning, and
assessment of prior learning.
SUNY’s students are predominantly New York State
residents, who represent more than 95 percent of the
University’s undergraduate enrollment. One-third of all New
York State high school graduates continue on to a SUNY
institution. Between 1976 and 1991, the University recorded
a 138.3 percent increase in the enrollment of African,
Asian, Hispanic and Native Americans, compared with a 40
percent increase among colleges and universities across the
country. Approximately one-third of the total enrollment is 25
years of age or older, reflecting SUNY’s services to specific
constituencies, such as training for business and industry,
continuing education, and a wide array of community
services to enhance both personal enrichment and
professional growth.
The University’s programs for the educationally and
economically disadvantaged, consisting of Educational
Opportunity Programs (EOPs) and Educational Opportunity
Centers (EOCs), have become a model for delivering better
learning opportunities to young people and adults
traditionally bypassed by higher education. Over the past 23
years, almost 320,000 New York State residents have been
served.
Through the SUNY 2000 planning project, the
University is making a special effort to look ahead to
the next century by examining New York State’s
higher education needs for an increasingly diverse
population, including responses for new work force
needs, a changing economy, the burgeoning demand
for health care reform, the need for strengthening
public education, and higher education’s role as a
mechanism for greater social and economic justice.
The State University is governed by a Board of
Trustees, appointed by the Governor, which directly
determines the policies to be followed by the 34 state-
supported campuses. Community colleges have their
own local boards of trustees whose relationship to the
SUNY board is defined by law.
The University’s motto is:
“To Learn...
To Search...
To Serve....”

Admissions Information
Students interested in attending Nassau Community College
should consult the most current “Admissions Guide and
Application” for up-to-date information, application deadline dates,
and acceptance requirements for specific programs.
MATRICULATION
Students who wish to earn a degree should apply for
matriculated status by completing the College’s regular application
for admission and providing all required documentation by the
specified deadline. Acceptance as a matriculated student in a
particular program indicates that the student has met all
admissions requirements necessary to be a degree candidate in
that program. Normally, only matriculated students are permitted
to attend on a full-time basis (12 or more credits per semester). It
is important to note that matriculated status and full-time study are
required for the receipt of certain types of federal and state
financial assistance.
All degree candidates must be high school graduates or hold
a General Equivalency Diploma (G.E.D.). Local school diplomas,
such as I.E.P. and annotated diplomas, school leaving certificates,
and certificates of attendance, are not valid for admission unless
the school certifies that the applicant has met all diploma
requirements (including successful completion of the Regents
Competency Testing or any other requirements) mandated by the
Education Department of New York State.
Nassau County high school seniors can obtain an application
for admission from their high school guidance offices. Applications
can also be obtained by writing to the
Office of Admissions, Nassau Community College, One
Education Drive, Garden City, NY 11530-6793, by calling
(516) 572-7345, or via e-mail at [email protected].
Requi
rements for admission to specific programs vary.
Most important are the applicant’s high school record and, in
the case of a transfer student, college record(s).
Recommendations from counselors and faculty members
and Scholastic Aptitude Test and/or American College Test
scores are not required but can be helpful in making a
positive admission decision when a student does not meet
the criteria for a particular program.
Applicants with foreign credentials must carefully follow
the instructions outlined in the “Admissions Guide and
Application.” Foreign applicants who require a Student (F-1)
Visa must submit additional application materials as well as
a TOEFL score (minimum of 500 required or 173 on the
computerized test) as specified in the guide.
High school graduates or holders of the G.E.D. who do
not meet the academic requirements for admission to a
particular area of study should make an appointment with an
admissions counselor to discuss appropriate options.
Applicants to selective programs such as Nursing and
the Allied Health Sciences who fail to meet eligibility
requirements for admission to these programs should
contact the Office of Admissions to discuss the necessary
and appropriate course work that may enable them to
qualify for admission at a later date. The Office of
Admissions, in conjunction with several academic
departments, holds informational workshops and/or
individual sessions with prospective students to ensure that
students are aware of prerequisite requirements for
admission to these programs.
All applicants for matriculated status and for enrichment
programs are required to take assessment tests in English,
reading, and mathematics unless specifically exempted from
the tests by the Office of Admissions. The results of these
tests, which are used primarily for placement and
advisement, may affect a student’s admission to certain
programs or academic areas, but not to the College.
Information on criteria for admission to specific areas of
study is found in the “Admissions Guide and Application”
that can be obtained by contacting the Office of Admissions
at (516) 572-7345.
NON-DEGREE STATUS
Students who do not intend to pursue a degree or
certificate at Nassau or at another post-secondary institution
but rather plan to take courses for personal enrichment or
professional growth should apply for non-degree status.
Non-degree students are not required to take the College’s
skills assessment test. They are normally limited to part-time
study (11.5 or fewer credits per semester) and are not
eligible for state and federal financial aid programs. (See
additional restrictions explained on page 14 in assessment
testing section).
Students in attendance who wish to change from
non-degree to matriculated status must contact the Office of
the Registrar. Students should first review the “Academic
Requirements” section for matriculation requirements.

SKILLS ASSESSMENT TESTS IN
ENGLISH, READING, AND MATHEMATICS
All applicants to the College who seek degrees or certificates
are required to take an assessment test prior to registration. This
test assesses skills in the areas of writing, reading, and
mathematics, with the results used to determine if special course
work must be taken in those subject areas. Students whose
native language is not English are required to take an English as
a second language test in lieu of the College’s regular
assessment test. Students whose test results indicate a need for
special courses must take those courses during the first semester
of attendance (unless specifically exempted from doing so) and
continue taking them in successive semesters until completing
them satisfactorily. Successful completion of prescribed
remedial work is a prerequisite to enrollment in specific credit-
bearing courses.
These specialized courses in English, reading, and
mathematics are found in the Course Description section of this
catalog under BEP 090, 091, 092; (ESL) RDG 010, 020, 030;
ENG 010, 020, 030; COM 010, 020, 030, 040; and RDG 001,
002, ENG 001, MAT 001 and MAT 002.
Non-degree students (those not seeking a degree or
certificate) will be permitted to accumulate no more than 12
credits without taking the College’s assessment test. Students
who have not taken the College’s assessment test will be
prohibited from enrolling in any credit-bearing English, reading,
mathematics, communications or philosophy courses until
assessment test results are available. Permanent exemptions
from the assessment test will be given to those students who
provide documentation that they possess a college degree from
an accredited institution or who submit documentation that they
have successfully completed both a college level writing course
equivalent to Nassau’s ENG 101 (Composition I) and a
mathematics course equivalent to Nassau’s MAT 109 (Algebra
and Trigonometry) or higher.
The College reserves the right to test or exempt from testing
any student regardless of status applied for and/or deny
admission to specific course offerings based on test results. The
College reserves the right to deny registration privileges to any
student who does not comply with all aspects of the Placement
Testing Policy.
For further details on specific time and place of assessment
testing, contact the Coordinator of Testing at (516) 572-7780.
IMMUNIZATIONS REQUIREMENT
New York State law requires that students born on or after
January 1, 1957, who are enrolled for six or more chargeable
credits, be immunized against measles, mumps and rubella. The
law further mandates that students who fail to submit proof of
immunization prior to the 30th day of a regular semester will be
disenrolled from all classes.
Disenrolled students are not permitted to be physically
present in class and will receive “W” grades for all enrolled
classes. Disenrolled students will not be permitted to register for
future semesters and are not entitled to any refund of tuition and
fees.
In the event of an outbreak of measles, mumps or rubella,
the New York State Department of Health will exercise
emergency procedures that require the College to ban the
attendance of any student regardless of credit load who has not
submitted proof of immunization to the College’s
College’s Health Services Office. For this reason, the
College encourages all students in attendance born on or
after January 1, 1957, to submit proof of immunization. In
the event of an outbreak, students will not be permitted to
use attendance restrictions imposed by the New York State
Department of Health as a reason for a refund in excess of
normal refund entitlements as outlined in the College’s
refund policy elsewhere in this publication. Submitting
documentation of immunization is the responsibility of the
student and will ensure uninterrupted attendance.

VISITING STUDENTS
Students who are matriculated at another institution
may, with the permission of their home institution, study at
Nassau Community College for one or two semesters,
while maintaining matriculated status at their home college.
This program enables a student to test another
environment without making a complete transfer. For
information and a Visiting Student application, contact the
Office of Admissions.
ADVANCED STANDING
Advanced placement opportunities are available to
students through a policy of credit allowance for “life
experience” and “credit by examination.”
Placement is approved by the department involved,
based on one or more of five methods:
(1) -Departmental criteria (including written
examinations, interviews, evaluation of past work or study,
auditions, etc.);
(2) College Level Examination Program (CLEP);
(3) College Proficiency Examination (CPE);
(4) -College Entrance Examination Board Advanced
Placement tests (CEEB/AP);
(5) -United States Armed Forces Institute
Examinations (USAFI/DANTES).
-For additional information, see “Programs for
Military Personnel.”
Credits earned by examination or departmental
assessment are counted as non-resident credits and are
not computed in the cumulative grade point average nor in
the total number of credit hours carried for the semester in
which they are awarded.
A student may receive advanced placement with credit by passing,
with a minimum score established by the department, an
examination in the appropriate subject area. A student may have
preliminary course(s) waived (advanced placement without credit)
and register for more advanced course(s) upon satisfactory
departmental assessment. In either case, the student must file an
application with the department chairperson.
The departments awarding credit for advanced standing
and/or “life experience”are Accounting/ Business Administration,
Allied Health, Art, Biology, Criminal Justice,
Engineering/Physics/Technology, Health/Physical
Education/Recreation, Hotel/ Restaurant Management,
Marketing/Retailing, Mathematics/Computer Science, Music,
Nursing, Office Technology, Physical Science, Psychology,
Sociology, and Theatre/Dance. Students interested in advanced
standing and/or “life experience” credit should contact the
appropriate department. See page 55 for the Academic
Departments and Curricula listings.
Nassau Community College subscribes to the concept of
earning credit through special programs, such as Independent
Study and College Proficiency Examinations, sponsored by the
State University of New York and the New York State Education
Department. Credit may be applied toward a degree in one or a
combination of any of these special programs, if a grade equivalent
to “C” or higher is attained. Further information can be obtained on
these special programs by writing directly to the State Education
Department at Albany, NY 12224.
HONORS
Honors classes are offered for academically gifted students.
Those completing Honors courses will have an “Honors”
designation entered on their transcripts. Honors students can be
enrolled in a special core curriculum which features an enriched
background in the humanities, sciences and other specific
subjects. These students are designated as full Honors
participants. Students may also elect Honors courses in certain
subjects only and be classified as partial participants in Honors.
Honors courses can fulfill the requirements for the Associate
Degree.
Honors students work with a special advisor who helps them
develop their potential in flexible, rewarding programs.
To qualify for Honors at Nassau, applicants must rank in the
top 20 percent of their high school graduating class and must have
completed three years each of Regents English, Regents
mathematics, and Regents science, demonstrating consistently
high grades in each. Students may apply for Honors by checking
the designated box on the College’s application for admission.
For further information contact the Honors Coordinator, Prof.
C. Farber, at (516) 572-7194, or the Office of Admissions.
17
PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS WITHOUT A
HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
Nassau Community College’s Office of Admissions will
consider applications from students who do not have high
school diplomas as part-time, non-degree students,
provided they meet the following minimum criteria:
(1) have been out of high school at least one
year past the date of graduation of their
high school class;
(2) are at least 18 years of age;
(3) exhibit a genuine desire to obtain a
college education.
Students applying in this status must complete the
regular admissions application, supply official high school
credentials, and take the College’s basic skills assessment
test.
Applicants to the College without a high school diploma
typically would begin in a part-time, non-degree status
based on their lack of a high school credential. Now,
however, such applicants may qualify for matriculated
status and, consequently, may apply for financial aid as a
result of the federal government's "Ability to Benefit"
regulation. This regulation allows the College to use
student's scores on our assessment test to determine if
students without a formal high school credential are eligible
to be matriculated at the College. Students must meet
specific requisite scores on each section of the assessment
test to qualify. Those who do not qualify initially for
matriculation may, nonetheless, follow a degree or
certificate program as non-degree students in anticipation
of their subsequently meeting matriculation requirements
and obtaining recognition as degree candidates once they
receive equivalency diploma. While in a non-degree status,
students are not eligible for financial aid.
STUDENTS WHO WISH TO EARN A HIGH SCHOOL
EQUIVALENCY DIPLOMA
Nassau Community College's Office of Admissions will
consider applications from students who do not have high
school diplomas and who want to earn equivalency
diplomas through the completion of college credits. These
applicants are expected to have been out of high school for
at least one year past the date of graduation of their high
school class, be at least 18 years of age, and exhibit a
genuine desire to obtain a college education.
Students applying in this status must complete the
regular admission application, supply official high school
transcripts, and take the College's assessment test.
The University of the State of New York, State
Education Department, High School Equivalency Diploma
Program provides that persons who have not earned a high
school diploma may be issued a New York State High
School Equivalency Diploma (GED) if they "provide
satisfactory evidence that they have successfully completed
twenty-four [24] credits (semester hours) or the equivalent
as a recognized candidate for a college-level degree or
certificate at an approved institution. Beginning with
applications [for
the equivalency diploma] made on or after September 1, 2000, the
twenty-four credits shall be distributed as follows: six [6] credits in
English language arts including writing, speaking and reading
(literature); six [6] credits in mathematics; three [3] credits in natural
science; three [3] credits in social science; three [3] credits in
humanities; and three [3] credits in career and technical education
and/or foreign languages.
Students are strongly advised to consult with an academic
counselor so that as much as possible the courses they take will
fulfill the requirements specified above for the equivalency diploma
as well as for the Nassau college degree the student wants to
obtain. Non-credit continuing education courses taken solely for
personal or cultural enrichment, and not part of a specific degree or
certificate program, may not be used to obtain an equivalency
diploma. Students who have completed or who are nearing the
completion of these requirements should obtain an application for
the equivalency diploma from our Registrar's Office which they
must file with the New York State Education Department.
STUDENTS SCHOOLED AT HOME
While Nassau Community College recognizes home schooling
as a legitimate educational option, students schooled at home who
are unable to present diplomas from educational agencies
endorsed by the state and regionally accredited are considered to
be without a high school diploma and are subject to the restrictions
noted at the beginning of this catalog section.
Students who have been home schooled are encouraged to
keep a detailed "informal transcript" of courses completed with
specific information such as reading lists and/or syllabi for each. In
addition, writing samples and lab reports, formal documents from
correspondence schools or organizations through which courses
were taken, and evaluations and/or grades received for each
subject may be helpful in evaluating students' readiness for
particular programs of study. Submission of ACT and/or SAT
scores is recommended.
Applicants who have been home schooled are expected
to meet the same admission requirements described above for
equivalency diploma (GED) candidates and are encouraged to
meet the requirements necessary to obtain the GED noted above.
Home schooled applicants also may be eligible for the early
admission options described in the "Admission Information" section
of this catalog.
18
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
The college offers a comprehensive curriculum in
English as a Second Language (ESL) for students who
want to study all aspects of the language. Separate
courses in writing, reading, and speaking/listening are
available on three levels: high beginning, intermediate, and
advanced. Courses at all levels are available at convenient
times during the day, evening, and weekends. Intensive
study is available through careful scheduling of coordinated
classes and small-group tutoring. An Intensive English
Institute is also offered for students with minimum English
skills. This accelerated program is designed to prepare
students for regular college classes. There are also
accelerated courses available for advanced students in all
three areas of writing, reading, and speaking/listening. A
separate listing of non - credit ESL courses is offered
through the Continuing Education Department for students
who want to improve their English skills but are not
planning to pursue a degree at in College.
In order to ensure proper placement into or out of ESL
classes, new matriculated and non-degree ESL students
must take the ESL Placement Test. The test has three
components: an essay exam, a reading test, and a
speaking/listening exam which consists of a listening
comprehension test and an oral interview. Non-degree
students must arrange for testing through the ESL Office
when they come for advisement. Matriculated students will
be given an appointment to take the test as part of the
admissions process.
In order to fulfill the College's ESL requirements, ESL
students must pass or be placed out of English 030,
Reading 030, and Communications 030. Once students
have passed or placed out of the advanced level courses
they will have the skills necessary to succeed in college
level courses at Nassau Community College and to work
toward a degree or certificate in a wide choice of subjects.
The ESL Office helps students to register for classes
and to make use of the special services that are available.
These include ESL counseling in areas such as financial
aid and visa matters, tutoring in the Writing Center, and
doing assisted independent study in the Reading
Laboratory and in the Communications Speaking/Listening
Resource Center. There is also a variety of programs
sponsored by the ESL Office, which provides support as
well as social activities.
For descriptions of ESL courses, consult the
Communications (COM) listings for Speaking/Listening
classes, The English (ENG) listings for writing classes, and
the Reading (RDG) listings for reading classes. Further
information is available from the ESL Office (516-572-7661)
or on the ESL website
(www.sunynassau.edu/dptpages/esl/). For information on
entering the College as a matriculated student call the
Office of Admissions (516-572-7345).
JOINT ADMISSIONS
Applicants who plan to continue their education at a four-year
college after graduation may now be assured of acceptance by
taking advantage of the College’s joint admissions options. Joint
admissions agreements currently exist with SUNY-Stony Brook,
SUNY-Old Westbury, SUNY-Albany, Adelphi University, and C.W.
Post College.
Students can apply for a joint admissions option by checking
the appropriate box on Nassau’s Application for Admission.
Acceptance to the senior institution is conditional upon receipt of
the Nassau Community College degree. Acceptance to a specific
program at the senior college may entail maintenance of a
particular grade point average and/or additional coursework to
satisfy the senior college’s entrance and/or graduation
requirements. For further information on joint admissions
opportunities, contact the Office of Admissions.
CROSS-REGISTRATION
The College participates in the Academic Enrichment program
of the Long Island Regional Advisory Council for Higher Education

This program permits students from Adelphi, C. W. Post
Center of L.I.U., C. W. Post Suffolk Center, Molloy, New York
Institute of Technology, Polytechnic Institute of New York, SUNY at
Old Westbury, Southampton College, St. Joseph L.I. campus,
SUNY at Farmingdale, SUNY at Stony Brook, and Suffolk
Community College to enroll (cross-register) in courses not
available on the student’s own campus. With combined approval of
both colleges, and subject to each college’s class size limitations
and other regulations, students may gain admission to classes at
the member institution without payment of additional tuition.
However, applicable lab fees must be paid by the student.
Cross-registration opportunities are available to full-time
students during the regular academic year.
Students taking cross-registered courses under the Academic
Enrichment program are subject to all academic regulations,
calendar deadlines, and Code of Conduct guidelines of the host

COLLEGE OF THE AIR
College of the Air is Nassau Community College's
distance learning program. More than 40 of the College's
courses are offered "on the air" through our own radio
station, WHPC-FM 90.3, and the Long Island PBS station,
WLTW-21 and PATV (Great Neck) Channel 49. This
program provides an alternative method of participating in a
college-level learning experience for individuals who cannot
regularly attend an institution of higher education. A
student-centered approach, it is designed for those
students who have the motivation, commitment, and
discipline required to work in an independent mode. In
addition to the traditional college course materials, program
materials may include videotaped presentations, weekly
radio programs, supplementary reading assignments, and
written and oral communications between student and
instructor. Telephone contact and optional group meetings
are encouraged between student and faculty and among
student participants. Some courses are now Internet-
based. Students and faculty work with materials on a
World Wide Web and use threaded discussions, chat
rooms and e-mail as communication tools. In addition, a
"College by Cassette" option is available for courses which
are not broadcast and for those students who cannot
receive the broadcasts.
For more information, visit the College of the Air office,
349 Miller Ave., or call (516) 572-7883.
SUMMER SESSIONS
Students attending Nassau Community College do not
have to submit an application for summer attendance.
Others must complete a special summer application.
Summer course offerings are published annually. The
vast range of general courses available during the fall and
spring semesters is usually available in the summer. Since
Nassau’s continuing students can register for summer
sessions during the spring, some courses will be filled
before visiting students have the opportunity to register. For
this reason, visiting summer students should prepare
several course alternatives.
Students attending Nassau Community College for the
summer session only, and who are matriculated at other
colleges, may register with the written permission of their
home institution.
Students who plan to attend in the summer and
continue at Nassau in the fall should also apply by April 1st
using the regular Application for Admission.
GUARANTEED TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
Because Nassau Community College is a member of
the State University of New York, its students are
guaranteed a full four-year degree if they meet academic
qualifications on the local campus and at the transfer
school.
This guarantee may or may not be met at the SUNY senior
institution of the student’s choice. The College has joined with
numerous senior institutions around the country both public and
private to fashion articulation agreements by which these
institutions guarantee to accept Nassau Community College
graduates who successfully complete certain criteria while in
attendance here. Students are urged to take advantage of these
guaranteed programs.
Contact the academic department involved as soon as
possible during the first semester to follow correct procedures.
Many of these offerings are described in the “Programs of Study”
section of this catalog. Students should contact their departments
or the Transfer Office in Nassau Hall for up-to-date information.
FRESHMAN SEMINAR, NCC 101
To ease new students’ transition to Nassau, the College offers
a one-credit course for incoming freshmen--NCC 101: The College
Experience. NCC101 serves as an introduction to college life. It is
designed to give students the skills and information necessary to
be successful in college.
NCC 101 helps freshmen improve their study skills, become
familiar with campus resources, develop positive relationships with
faculty, make informed choices about classes and careers,
understand the goals and expectations of higher education, and in
general, make the most of their college experience. The course
also introduces freshmen to a faculty member who, if students
wish, will serve as their academic advisor in subsequent
semesters.
For more information about NCC 101: The College
Experience, please call (516) 572-9613.
FRESHMAN LEARNING COMMUNITIES
The Freshman Learning Communities, a program in which
new students take two of their classes together, is designed to
help students succeed in their first year in college. Instructors in the
two classes coordinate their assignments and discussions. This
fosters an enriched learning environment and enables students to
get to know one another and their instructors quickly.
Students are encouraged to work together and become
resources for one another. The program offers personalized
advisement and the attention of experienced faculty. The two
Learning Community courses students take depend on their needs
and interests. Learning Communities students take their other
courses with students throughout the College.
Studies have indicated that students who enroll in Freshman
Learning Communities tend to be very successful in their courses
at the College.
Learning Community courses are open to all students. The
courses are not honors courses or remedial classes. For further
information contact the Learning Communities Coordinator, Prof.
Arnold Silverman, at (516) 572-8030, or the Office of Admissions.

PROGRAM GRADUATION & RETENTION
The chart on the following page provides rates of retention and
graduation for the various programs of study offered at the College.
This chart tracks the 3,506 full-time, first-time entering class of
Fall 1996, by either degree or certificate program. These figures, of
course, do not include entering part-time students or those
students who transferred to NCC from another institution. All
figures represent “known” categories and/or events. Although
success at the community college takes many forms, this chart
deals only with documented graduates, students still in attendance,
and non-graduating transfers.
The “Entered” column includes final choices of programs
students made during their residency. The next two columns
combine the number of students who have graduated prior to, or
are attending, the respective semesters. The “Total Grads” column
isolates the cumulative number of students who graduated by the
specified date, while “Still Attending” isolates those students still in
pursuit of their goals. The “Total Grads & Returned FA ‘99”column
indicates the total graduation/retention figure for each program as
of Fall 1999.
22
The “Non Grads That Transfer” column isolates those students who did not graduate for whom we currently hold documentation that
they transferred to a public or private post-secondary institution. This information is available due to the recent development of a
transfer student database. As it represents a work still in development, it may not include all students who transferred during this time.
It is anticipated that these figures will increase in future years, as more colleges are included in the database. The final column totals all
students who either earned a degree, transferred without earning a degree or were still enrolled as of the Fall, 1999 semester. This
column represents the College’s “documented”success.

Expenses
Only one-third of Nassau Community College’s operating cost
is financed by student tuition. The remaining two-thirds is met
by the taxpayers of Nassau County and New York State.
Additionally, education costs may be defrayed further through a
series of scholarships, awards, grants and loans available
through the College.
Questions about tuition and fees should be directed to the
Office of the Bursar, Tower Lower Level, at (516) 572-7325 or

New York State students from counties other than Nassau
may have the nonresident tuition rate waived by submitting a
Certificate of Residence from their home county fiscal office
prior to payment of tuition and fees. The submission of a valid
Certificate of Residence qualifies students who reside in
counties other than Nassau for the Nassau County resident
tuition rate.
Applications for a Certificate of Residence are available in
the Bursar’s office and Student Financial Affairs, Tower 5th
floor. For students commencing study in the fall semester, the
certificate will cover a full year, including fall and spring
semesters and summer sessions.

and fees. The tuition and fee schedule, effective with the Spring
2000 semester, is subject to change at the discretion of the
College. Registration is complete only upon full payment of
tuition and fees.

Financial Aid
GENERAL INFORMATION
Financial aid is assistance that the federal government and
New York State offers to eligible students to assist them in
meeting educational expenses while attending college.
Students who feel they will have a difficult time in meeting the
total cost of attending college are encouraged to apply for
financial aid.
Most financial aid is awarded on the basis of financial need
which is defined as the cost of attendance minus the family's
expected family contribution. The College uses the federally
mandated need analysis calculation to assess the family's
expected contribution toward the cost of education. Financial
aid may never exceed financial need.
The cost of education includes the yearly cost for full-time,
three quarter time, half time and less than half time tuition,
fees, home maintenance living expenses, personal expenses,
transportation, books and supplies and child care. The
following are estimated College cost at Nassau Community
College for 2000-2001.
Dependent Student
Full-time - 9 months *
Tuition/Fees 2,370
Books and Supplies 760
Travel 1,272
Personal 1,248
Home Maintenance 3,100
8,750 per year *
Independent Student
Full-time - 9 months
Tuition/Fees 2,370
Books and Supplies 760
Travel 1,272
Personal 1,248
Home Maintenance 9,984
Child Care 1,200
16,834 per year*
* May be subject to change
Once the family's expected contribution is subtracted from the
total cost of education, the remainder is the student's financial
need. The College will attempt to meet this need by means of
a "Financial Aid Package" which may consist of a combination
of grants, loans and or employment opportunities.
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
All students have the right to apply for both federal and
state financial aid.
Students also have the right to question the application
process and how their financial aid award was determined.
These questions can be directed to both the federal and state
agencies responsible for administering financial aid programs
or to the College's financial aid office.
It is the student's responsibility to assure that all items
needed to complete the application and award process are
completed prior to their last date of attendance for each
academic year.
27
Important Facts Regarding Financial Aid:
1. -If your bill is being held based on estimated Financial Aid,
it is your responsibility to assure that your application has been
fully processed by our office. Estimated Financial Aid means
that the college payment is postponed until an agreed upon
time. It does not mean payment has been waived. If your aid
has been fully processed, you should receive an award letter
from our office indicating the amount of aid you are eligible to
receive. If in doubt, please contact our office (516) 572-7396.
2. Students who obtain their degree or complete their
certificate program at the end of the semester will not be
eligible for financial aid in subsequent semesters unless they
are enrolled in another degree program.
3. You must officially withdraw from class, at the Registrar's
Office, prior to the first day of class in order to not incur a tuition
liability for those classes.
4. For students in remediation classes: First time TAP Grant
recipients must be registered for non-remedial courses equal to
3 credits. Second time Tap Grant recipients must be registered
for non-remedial courses equal to 6 credits. The remaining
classes can be non-credit provided the total enrollment equals
full-time status which is 12 or more credits.
5. Repeat Course: Courses in which the student has already
received a passing grade cannot be included in meeting full
time study requirements for state sponsored financial aid.
Repeat courses may be counted toward full time study
requirements if a failed course is repeated or when a student
has received a grade that is passing at the college but is
unacceptable in a particular curriculum or area of
concentration.
6. In order to avoid delays in the processing of your financial
aid application, be sure that the full name that appears on your
birth certificate, marriage certificate or your alien registration
card matches the name that appears on your social security
card, your financial aid application and the name on file in the
Registrar's Office.
7. All males between the ages of 18 through 25 must be
registered with the selective service administration in order to
be eligible to receive federal financial aid.
8. When declaring a major, applying for a second degree, and
when changing from one area of concentration to another,
you must follow the course curriculum as per the college
catalog. This may affect your financial aid eligibility. Please
check with a financial aid counselor for the implications of these
changes. Also, if you do decide to change the area of
concentration or apply for a second degree, you must fill out
the appropriate forms.
9. Aid for Part-time Study Grant recipients must be enrolled for
at least 3 but less than 12 credits (3 to 11.5). Students carrying
a part-time course load that includes non-credit remedial
courses must carry at least three semester hours of credit-
bearing work.
Application Procedure:
Federal and State Aid

aid is completing the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid"

another degree or certificate program.
AWARD NOTIFICATION
All students eligible for federal Title IV grant funds which
includes the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work-Study,
will be sent an award letter indicating the amount of these grant
funds the student is eligible to receive. Those students eligible
for a Federal Perkins Loan or Nursing Student Loan will also
receive an award letter with the loan amount indicated on the
letter. Students not eligible for federal Title IV grant funds will
be mailed a denial letter.
Award notification for the New York State Tuition
Assistance Program (TAP) will be mailed directly to the student
by the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation.
Students eligible to receive the New York State sponsored
Aid for Part-Time Study Grant (A.P.T.S.) will be notified in
writing directly by the College Financial Aid Office. This written
notification will include the amount of A.P.T.S. funds the
student is eligible to receive.
FINANCIAL AID DEADLINES
All students who wish to be considered for financial aid for
the fall semester should file their application by May 30th.
Students who want to be considered for financial aid for
only the spring semester should file their application by October
1st.
By filing on or before these deadlines, depending on
eligibility, you may be considered, for federal campus based aid
which includes the Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), the Federal Work-Study Grant
and Federal Perkins Loan and Nursing Student Loan funding.
The College will not process a student's application for
financial aid until all requested items to complete the file are
submitted. All awards are based on the availability of funding.
FREQUENCY OF FILING FOR FINANCIAL AID
Students are required to file once each academic year to
be considered for financial aid. Since a student’s financial
situation may change, the financial aid process is not
automatically renewed. You must reapply for financial aid each
academic year. There are several methods of applying for
financial aid which includes completing the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by using the paper application or
via the FAFSA website, completing the renewal paper FAFSA
or using the renewal FAFSA website. Note that you must have
applied for federal student aid during the prior academic year to
file a renewal FAFSA. The website for FAFSA is:
www.fafsa.ed.gov
The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application will be
automatically mailed to your home only after you have
completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). The TAP application must be filed each academic
year.
The Aid for Part-Time Study (APTS) application can be
obtained at the College's Financial Aid Office. This also must
be filed each academic year.
INDEPENDENT STUDENT STATUS
To be considered as an independent student for federal
financial aid purposes, a student must meet one of the
following criteria:
(1) Be at least 24 years old by December 31st of the
award year.
(2) Be an orphan or ward of the court.
(3) Be a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United
States.
(4) Be an individual with legal dependents other than
a spouse who receive more than half of their support from you.
(5) Be a married person
(6) Be a student working on a degree beyond a
bachelor's degree in school year 2000/2001.
Students are urged to make an appointment to speak to a
counselor in the Financial Aid Office if they are considering
filing for federal financial aid as an independent student but do
not meet the above mentioned federal criteria.
Students applying for the New York State Tuition
Assistance Program (TAP) must meet a different set of
guidelines to be considered independent. TAP considers
students aged 35 or o
lder as automatically independent.
Students between 22 and 35 years of age must meet additional
requirements for independence as outlined in the TAP
application. Students under 22 years of age will normally be
considered dependent unless they can fully document their
circumstances.
STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM
Financial aid is available to students who wish to study
abroad. Students enrolled in classes abroad must be certain
that these courses are approved for credit at our college and
must have a completed consortium agreement signed by all
appropriate administrators at both the home and visiting
institution.
Students participating in the study abroad program must
meet all the established criteria in order to receive financial aid.
29
The Federal Pell Grant, Federal Work Study Program
(F.W.S.) and Federal Direct Loan Program base the amount of
the award on enrolled credits. Any change of enrollment during
the year can cause the amount of funding to be changed.
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress each
semester or aid will be withdrawn. Copies of Standards of
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Title IV (federal) aid are
available in the Financial Aid Office and included in this section
of the catalog.
More than 30% of applicants must verify the data on their
applications. Therefore, applicants should be prepared to
submit verification documents (including IRS income tax forms)
to the Financial Aid Office upon request. For more information
regarding federal financial aid go to www.ed.gov/studentaid/.
FEDERAL PELL GRANTS
A Federal Pell Grant is an award for undergraduate
students which does not have to be paid back. Eligibility for this
program is based upon a standard formula established by
Congress. To apply for a Federal Pell Grant, a student must
complete the application process using the Free Application
Form for Federal Student Aid. These grants currently range
between $400 and $3,300 for the year.
FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY GRANTS (FSEOG)
These grants are for students of exceptional financial need
who otherwise would be unable to continue their education.
Priority is given to Federal Pell Grant recipients. The grants
range from $100 to $400 each year. All applicants are
reviewed for FSEOG eligibility. Funds provided by the
government for this program are limited.
FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN
This program provides low interest, long term, deferred
loans which are interest-free until nine months after the
borrower ceases to carry at least six credits. An interest rate of
5% annually is applied on the unpaid balance and payments
are made quarterly. Applicants who indicate interest in a loan
and have exceptional financial need are reviewed for Perkins
Loan eligibility. Priority is given to Federal Pell Grant recipients.
Funds provided by the government for this program are limited.
NURSING STUDENT LOAN (NSL)
This program is limited to Nursing students. Its terms are
similar to the Perkins Loan. Students must demonstrate
financial need to be considered for this loan.
FEDERAL WORK STUDY (FWS)
This is a federally funded need based program of part-time
employment. It is possible to earn up to $3,000 per academic
year on campus or off campus while earning a degree.
Applicants who indicate interest in work on the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are reviewed for FWS
eligibility.
The Job Location and Development Program (JLDP) is an
expansion of the Federal Work Study Program. This non-need
based program provides applicants with part-time employment
in community services or for profit agencies.
Students seeking other part-time or full-time employment
both on and off campus should see "Job Placement" in the
Student Services section of the catalog.
WILLIAM D. FORD FEDERAL
DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM
(www.ed.gov/DirectLoan/)
Loans under the Direct Loan Programs include the Federal
Stafford Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized) and the Federal
Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students. In order to apply for
these loans, a student must first complete the Federal Financial
Aid Application process.
Federal Stafford Loans - There are two types of Stafford
loans: subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Interest for these
loans is variable but will not exceed 9%.
Subsidized Stafford Loans are based upon financial need.
The government pays the interest on these loans as long as
the student is enrolled at least half-time. Repayment of the
loan, with interest, is due beginning six months after the
student is no longer enrolled or is less than a half-time student.
A loan origination fee and insurance fee is charged at the onset
of the loan.
Unsubsidized Stafford loans are similar to the subsidized
loans except that they are not need based, and interest on
these loans begins within 30 days of disbursement. Interest can
be deferred.
Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
these loans are limited to the parents of dependent students.
Currently, the maximum PLUS loan is the cost of
education minus other financial aid per year at an interest rate
that varies based on the year the loan is received. An
insurance fee is withheld when the loan is disbursed.
Direct Loan borrowers must complete a Pre-loan form
available at the Financial Aid Office and sign a loan promissory
note.
All first time borrowers must complete the federally
mandated loan entrance interview counseling session prior to
loan funds being disbursed. Loan interviews can be complete
in person at the Financial Aid Office or through the web. For
more information go to www.ed.gov/DirectLoan/.
Once a student drops below six credits or ceases to attend
the College, they are required to attend a loan exit interview
counseling session. For more information go to
www.dlservicer.ed.gov.

authorization from the Veterans Administration, the College will
certify enrollment. The government pays allowances directly to
veterans or children of deceased veterans.
Staff representatives are available in the Office of the
Registrar to provide claims processing services necessary to
receive veterans educational benefits. For additional
information, the Veterans Administration telephone number is 1
(800) 827-1000.
Certain Veteran's benefits must be considered resources
when packaging campus-based funds. However, the same
benefits are now excluded from the definition of estimated
financial assistance used to determine subsidized Stafford loan
amounts under the FFEL and Direct Loan programs.
Affected benefits:
• Title 38, Chapter 30 (Montgomery GI Bill) The revised
treatment of benefits may result in increased subsidized loan
eligibility for students, but the increased loan eligibility can
result in decreased campus-based eligibility.
Scholarships
Scholarships and awards are available to incoming,
returning, or graduating students from funding by members of
the College’s faculty and staff, by campus groups, as well as
from local donor organizations, individuals and government
agencies. Various scholarships are awarded based on different
criteria, such as academic performance/area of interest,
participation in extracurricular activities, cultural background
and/or financial need.
The specific scholarships and scholarship awards are
subject to change from semester to semester. Students are
encouraged to find out about scholarships early each semester.
Many scholarship applications are due approximately the 7th
week of the semester.
Information and applications may be obtained from the
Financial Aid Office on the 3rd floor of the Administrative
Tower. Students may also learn about scholarships from the
academic department offices, the Library, the College Transfer
Office in Nassau Hall, and the Nassau Community College
Federation of Teachers. Current scholarship information is
available at the web site:
http://www.sunynassau.edu/scholarships/scholarships.htm.
SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH VIA THE INTERNET
There are several scholarship search services that are
accessible via the Internet. The National Association of Student
Financial Aid Administrators provides two Internet web sites:
http://www.fastweb.com
http://www.finaid.com
These web site addresses will assist you in searching for
private scholarship funds. Access to the Internet is available at
public computing laboratories available in the College Library.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR
ALL FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS
There are three elements of satisfactory academic
progress that all financial aid recipients must achieve in order
to receive Federal Title IV financial aid.
1. -A qualitative measure of academic progress which is
calculated using the students grade point average.
2. -A quantitative measure which uses an attempted to
earn credit ratio.
3. -A maximum time frame in which a student is expected
to finish their program.
The qualitative and quantitative measurements are listed in
the catalog.
The maximum time frame may not exceed 150% of the
published length of the program measured in credit hours
attempted.
These requirements may be waived if the student submits
to the Financial Aid Office a written request for such waiver.
Supporting documentation detailing mitigating circumstances to
justify the waiver must accompany all waiver requests.
The waiver is not automatic; it requires a judgement by a
professional staff member of the Financial Aid Office that the
student's failure to meet the academic progress standards was
due to a documented unusual situation (e.g. medical, death in
the family, etc. ). The waiver process is not considered an
entitlement but issued in accordance with individual student
circumstances. Note that grades of W, F or U are not
considered satisfactory completion for financial aid purposes.
Financial aid applicants who fall below the standards listed (see
academic progress chart) will be notified in writing. These
notifications will be sent at the conclusion of each semester
when the student's cumulative academic record is reviewed.
To continue to receive financial aid, students must maintain the
standards of satisfactory progress. See chart on next page.

Degree and
Certificates Defined
The following descriptions of the three degrees and
certificate programs offered by the College are for comparative
purposes only. In planning a program of study, students should
be guided by the academic programs presented in the section
“Programs of Study” and select their courses in consultation
with an advisor.
ASSOCIATE IN ARTS (A.A.)
This degree is primarily for transfer programs which lead to
the bachelor’s degree. The curriculum should be composed
primarily of courses in the liberal arts or sciences. At a
minimum there should be 48 semester credit hours of study in
the humanities, the natural sciences and mathematics, and
the social sciences.
The distribution requirements are 12 credits in social
science; 8 credits in science with laboratory; 6 credits in
mathematics; 12 credits in English, including ENG 101 and
102; 6 credits in humanities; 2-3 credits in health; 2 credits in
physical education activities; and 18 credits in electives and
required courses as stated in the approved curricula.
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE (A.S.)
This degree may be used for certain occupationally
oriented curricula, but is primarily designed to serve students in
science or professionally related programs which lead to
transfer to Bachelor of Science degree curricula. Associate in
Science curricula have at least 30 semester hours of credit in
the humanities, the natural sciences and mathematics, and the
social sciences.
The distribution requirements are 6 credits in social
science (to be chosen from Basic Course List); 8 credits in
science with laboratory; 6 credits in mathematics; ENG 101 and
102; 6 credits in humanities (to be chosen from Basic Course
List); 2-3 credits in health; 2 credits in physical education
activities; and 30 credits in electives and required courses as
stated in the approved curricula.
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE (A.A.S.)
This degree is primarily for occupationally oriented
curricula, but may at times be appropriate as a transfer degree
to certain types of specialized baccalaureate programs. The
curriculum should have a minimum of 20 semester hours of
credit drawn from the liberal arts and science areas comprising
work distributed in the humanities, the natural sciences and
mathematics, and the social sciences.
The distribution requirements are 6 credits in social
science (to be chosen from Basic Course List); 4 credits in
science with laboratory; 3-4 credits in mathematics; 6 credits in
English and Communications including ENG 101; 3 credits in
humanities (to be chosen from the Basic Course List); 2-3
credits in health; 2 credits in physical education activities; and
40-48 credits in electives and required courses as stated in the
approved curricula.
CERTIFICATES
A certificate is a credential registered by the State
Education Department and issued by the College in recognition
of the completion of a curriculum other than one
leading to a degree. A certificate program can be completed in
shorter time than the Associate degree program sometimes
in less than a year.
Designed for those eager to enter the work force, the
College offers certificate programs in several different areas.
Another advantage of the certificate program is that most
of the credits earned may be applied to a related Associate
degree program. Students attend the same classes as degree
candidates and are graded on the same basis.
Grading System
Percentage Grade Quality of Honor
Equivalent Achievement Points
90-100% A Excellent 4
85-89 B+ 3.5
80-84 B Very Good 3

65-69 D+ 1.5
60-64 D Minimum Passing 1
F Failure 0
INC Incomplete
W Withdrawal
NG No GradeAudit
S Satisfactory
U Unsatisfactory
In addition to numerical averages, many faculty take a
host of other factors into consideration: problem solving
methodology, thoroughness and completeness of research,
laboratory techniques, attendance, punctuality, evidence of
growth in a discipline, etc.
34
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The Grade Point Average is one of the most important
statistics students establish during their college careers. The
average (abbreviated as GPA) affects whether or not a student
can participate in extra-curricular activities, whether the student
can hold student government office, and finally, whether or not
the student will graduate.
The Grade Point Average is computed by multiplying the
honor point value of each grade by the credits designated for
the course taken. This gives the honor points total. The sum of
these totals divided by the number of credits attempted per
semester gives the honor point average (grade point average).
For example, a student taking a semester’s load of five
three-credit courses15 creditsin which three C’s (9 times
2.0 value each), one B+ (3 times 3.5 value), and one D (3 times
1.0 value) were earned, would have a total of 31.5 honor
points. This figure, divided by the 15 credits taken, would result
in a grade point average (GPA) of 2.1. Each semester’s work is
added and compiled in the same way to become the student’s
cumulative grade point average, a figure which must reach 2.0
for the student to be graduated, and 3.5 or higher to be
graduated with honors.
In compiling a student’s grade point average, the following
factors must also be taken into consideration:
(1) When transfer credit is awarded, the grade is not
computed for honor points or average.
(2) If a student officially changes the area of concentration,
an evaluation will be made by the new department chairperson
to determine whether grades and credits in courses formerly
required, but not required in the new curriculum, will be
computed for honor points and average. If a student has
attempted less than 40 credits at Nassau Community College,
certain courses required in the former area and not required in
the new area may be deleted. These courses will not be
calculated in the student’s average or included as credit toward
the student’s degree.
(3) When a student repeats a course, both the initial grade
and the repeat grade appear on the transcript. However, only
the last completion mark (A-F but not including “W”, “INC,” or
“NA”) will be indicated in the cumulative average.
Repeat courses may affect your eligibility for STATE
sponsored financial aid programs. Check with the Financial Aid
Office before you register to repeat a course.
INCOMPLETE GRADES
Grades of Incomplete (INC) may be assigned to those
students who, for some valid reason, have not satisfied all
academic requirements for the course but have a reasonable
expectation of completing the required work. While a request
for an incomplete grade should be initiated by the student, it is
assigned at the discretion of the instructor.
It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor of
the course to determine the nature of the work required to
complete the course and thus remove the grade of Incomplete.
A grade of Incomplete shall carry no immediate penalty, but
grades of Incomplete not removed by the end of the following
fifteen-week semester will automatically be changed to an F.
In extenuating circumstances, the instructor may petition
the Dean of Instruction to extend the time for making up the
Incomplete (INC) grade.
WITHDRAWAL GRADES
It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw officially
from courses by filing a properly completed Drop/Add form with
the Office of the Registrar. The instructor’s signature must be
obtained for drops processed beyond the refund period (see
Tuition and Fee schedule). When a student officially withdraws
from a class after the 3rd week but prior to the beginning of the
10th week of classes for fall and spring semesters, the student
can only receive a grade of “W” (Withdrawal) of no
consequence to semester and Grade Point Averages. During
Summer Sessions and Mini Sessions the automatic “W” period
is normally calculated from the end of the refund period to a
point representing approximately 60% of that semester.
Students should read the Registrar’s notices carefully to make
sure that they are aware of the automatic “W” period in special
sessions.
Again, withdrawal grades carrying no penalty are only
guaranteed to those students who officially withdraw from
classes and obtain the faculty member’s signature during the
automatic withdrawal periods indicated above. Students who
drop courses prior to and during the automatic refund period do
not receive any grades, including a “W” grade, for those
courses (see Refunds in the section entitled “Expenses and
Financial Aid” to determine the refund period).
If a student chooses to withdraw officially after the
beginning of the tenth week (fourth week in Summer Session)
or does not withdraw officially, the instructor may award a letter
grade, a “W” or and INC (Incomplete).
WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURE
As indicated under Withdrawal Grades, it is the student’s
responsibility to properly withdraw from all classes utilizing the
correct forms and providing appropriate notification of their
instructor. The instructor‘s signature is required after the
Drop/Add-refund period. Students should complete the
withdrawal process in person and remember that only in the
most extenuating circumstances should they attempt to
withdraw by mail. The official withdrawal date is the date that
the completed form bearing the instructor’s signature is
processed and certified by the Office of the Registrar.
Although withdrawal grades are of no consequence to a
student’s semester or Grade Point Average, receiving an
excessive number of “W” (Withdrawal) grades can have a
negative effect on a student’s Academic Standing resulting in
semester credit load limitations (see Academic Standing in this
section of the Catalog). A student who feels that an extenuating
circumstance, such as a medical or personal emergency,
warrants an exception from this policy may appeal through the
Office of the Dean of Students to request that the “W” grade not
affect academic standing.
35
Because excessive Withdrawal grades can remove a student
from Good Academic Standing, it is possible that “W” grades
can change a student’s eligibility to receive certain forms of
student financial assistance. It is suggested that students
consult with their advisor or Student Personnel Services
counselor before withdrawing from courses. However, students
withdrawing from 9 or more credits are required to obtain an
S.P.S. counselor’s signature.
CHANGE OF GRADE
Ordinarily, all letter grades are considered permanent (INC
is not considered a letter grade). Changes of these grades will
be made only upon the Instructor’s submission of clearly
defined reason(s) or documentation which supports the
justification for such an extraordinary change. “W” grades
earned via the official withdrawal procedure will not be changed
under any circumstances.
All changes of grade (other than INC) must be processed
within one year of the end of the semester involved unless
demonstrated to be a result of clerical or computational error.
Changes of Incomplete (INC) grades must be processed by the
end of the next regular semester.
Changes of grade are initiated by the faculty member
issuing the appropriate Change of Grade form under the
following conditions:
(1) Documented computational or clerical error in recording
the grade.
(2) Removal of an Incomplete (INC) upon satisfactory
completion of course requirement(s).
Incompletes must be completed by the end of the
next regular semester or be changed to an “F.”
(3) Reassessment of student performance (subjective
evaluation) subsequent to grade issuance.
(4
) Grade changes must be approved by the department
chairperson and the Dean of Instruction before any
official record adjustments can be made by the Office
of the Registrar.
GRADE GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Students who believe they have been improperly graded in
a particular course may appeal that grade if they do so before
the end of the seventh week of the following fall or spring
semester in which the grade was received. For a course taken
during the SUMMER, you must file the grievance before the
SEVENTH week of the following FALL semester.
Grievances must be pursued in the following manner until
satisfaction is obtained or the procedure is completed:
(1) With the instructor who issued the grade.
(2) With the instructor’s departmental chairperson.
(3) With the departmental Personnel and
Budget Committee.
(4) With an ad hoc subcommittee of the Academic
Standing Committee to be composed of five
members and student representation.
In the event that a student’s grade grievance is upheld at
steps 2, 3, and 4, the grade will then be determined by the
departmental Personnel and Budget Committee of the
department involved with the grievance. Thereafter, the change
of grade procedure, as outlined in the catalog, will be followed.
At any step in the grade grievance procedure the instructor
may initiate a change of grade.
Each individual or committee must initiate the appropriate
discussion or hearing within 15 teaching days after receipt of a
grievance, and must establish the date for such discussion or
hearing within 5 teaching days of receipt, or the grievant is
permitted to proceed to the next step in the procedure. Failure
to appeal a decision to the next step within 10 teaching days of
receipt of the decision shall terminate the grievance.
The Academic Standing Committee has established
procedures for the conduct of grade grievances in situations
where the instructor of record is unavailable or unreachable.
Students are advised to consult their Department Chairperson
for appropriate procedures in the event of such a circumstance.
Grade grievance forms may be obtained in the Dean of
Instruction Office, 349 Miller Avenue.
Policy Statement on Classroom
Management
Faculty have a right and responsibility to maintain a proper
learning environment in the classroom. As integral members of
this partnership, students are expected to participate actively in
the learning experience and must do so in an appropriate
manner.
Disruptive conduct in the classroom that interferes with the
instructor’s performance of his/her professional functions or
that undermines the integrity of student learning will not be
tolerated. Disruptive conduct includes, but is not limited to,
behavior that is disorderly, lewd, indecent, obscene or
threatening. This negative behavior will incur faculty
intervention and may result in disciplinary action.
The procedures designed to ensure the right of due
process for both instructor and student, as well as the College’s
right to impose penalties for infractions, are as follows:
(1) The instructor will apprise the student of the
inappropriateness of the behavior and ask that the negative
behavior cease.
(2) If negative behavior persists, the instructor should:
A. Refer the student to campus supportive
services and/or
B. Inform the student, whether in writing or at a
meeting, not to return to class..
36
(3) In case of severe negative behavior covered by the Student
Code of Conduct, Security should be called and the student
immediately removed from class.
The procedure for a student to appeal an instructor’s
request that the student not return to class is as follows:
(1) The student shall request a meeting with the instructor’s
Department Chairperson within three academic calendar days
after expulsion from class.
(2) The chairperson shall consult with all parties involved in
an effort to promote some reconciliation.
The decision to allow the student to return to class and the
determination of the final grade shall remain with the instructor.
TRANSCRIPTS
A student copy of the Transcript of Record or semester
grade report is sent each semester to the student’s home
indicating the scholastic standing. The Registrar will supply
additional transcripts upon written request accompanied by the
appropriate fee. (See “Tuition and Fees.”)
Dean’s Honor List
After the completion of each fall and spring semester,
outstanding scholastic achievement is recognized through the
compilation of the Dean’s Honor List. This honor is noted on
the student’s permanent transcript of record.
To qualify, full-time students must have completed a
minimum of 12 hours of credit per semester in residence and
have attained a 3.5 semester average or higher, with no grades
of Withdrawal (W), Failure (F), Unsatisfactory (U), or
Incomplete (INC). Further, it is important to note that students
must be in good academic standing and that repeated courses
will not be counted as credits attempted for the purpose of
compiling the Dean’s Honor List.
Part-time students are also eligible for the Dean’s Honor
List provided they attain a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 or
greater, and who are otherwise in good academic standing.
The GPA for part-time students is calculated upon the
completion of each 12 semester hours of credit, without respect
to the number of semesters the student has been in
attendance. Eligibility for the Dean’ Honor List is redetermined
after each 12 additional credit hours attempted (12 credits, 24
credits, 36 credits, 48 credits, 60 credits). It is important to note
that each 12 semester hour block of credits attempted may not
include grades of Withdrawal (W), Failure (F), Unsatisfactory
(U), or incomplete (INC). Repeated courses will not be counted
as credits attempted for the purpose of compiling the Dean’s
Honor List.
Academic Standing
Academic standing is determined according to the
regulations of the Academic Standing Committee and is printed
at the bottom of the student transcript of record.
Decisions made at the conclusion of the spring semester
will remain in effect for a minimum of one full semester during
the regular school year; that is, until the conclusion of the
following fall semester. Grades attained during the intervening
summer sessions will be considered only in conjunction with
the following fall semester grades for purposes of releasing
students from academic standing decisions or limitations.
MINIMUM GRADE POINT AVERAGES REQUIRED
TO MAINTAIN GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING
The following cumulative grade point averages (GPA) are
the minimums which must be attained for a student to be
considered in good academic standing:
A 1.7 with 1-14 credits attempted (usually one semester).
A 1.8 with 15-29 credits attempted (usually two semesters).
A 1.9 with 30-47 credits attempted.
A 2.0 with 48 or more credits attempted.
A student whose cumulative average falls below these
minima for the first time will remain in good academic standing
but shall be limited to 14 credits (or equivalent where
preparatory courses are concerned) for the next semester. If at
the end of the next semester the student’s cumulative average
still falls below these minima, then the student concerned shall
be placed on academic probation and shall be restricted to
part-time (less than 12 credits) attendance.
Academic Dismissal Policy - The cumulative Grade Point
Average (GPA) of students on probation will be reviewed at the
end of the spring semester. Students whose cumulative
average remains less than the required minimum will be
academically dismissed. The office of the Vice President of
Academic Affairs will work with the office of the Dean of
Students to implement, interpret and ensure compliance with
this policy.
A previously dismissed student who is readmitted will not
be dismissed under this policy if a GPA of 2.00 or higher is
maintained in courses taken since readmission and if
satisfactory progress is demonstrated in remedial courses
taken since readmission.
Students have the right to appeal their dismissal. Appeals
must be submitted in writing to the Academic Standing
Committee through the office of the Dean of Students no later
than six weeks prior to the beginning of the semester for which
they wish to be readmitted. Students who fail to appeal their
dismissal within the required time limit may submit an appeal in
a timely fashion for readmission to a future semester. All
appeal decisions rendered by the Academic Standing
Committee shall be final.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS REQUIREMENTS FOR
STUDENTS PLACED IN REMEDIAL COURSES
Academic progress Requirements for Students Placed in
the Basic Education Program (BEP)
Students whose assessment test placement is “Basic
Education Program” must enroll in and successfully complete
the Basic Education Program (BEP) and any additional required
remediation before enrolling in regular college courses.
The following conditions apply to students enrolled in the Basic
Education Program:
(1) must enroll in this program in the first semester of
attendance. The Basic Education Program is the equivalent
of a full time program;
(2) must satisfactorily complete BEP courses. Withdrawal
from individual classes in the BEP program is not permitted.
(3) will be academically dismissed from the College if they
fail all three courses the first semester and will be
considered for readmission only with the approval of a
majority of their academic instructors;
(4) may repeat a single failed course only twice, and will be
academically dismissed upon the third failure.
(5) will be considered for readmission only after the student
has been separated from the College for at least one year
(Fall/Spring) and only if future assessment test results
reveal no need for remediation in the area(s) in which the
student was dismissed.
Academic Progress Requirements for Students
Placed in all other Remedial Courses
Students who do not place in the Basic Education program
but who require remedial course work must enroll in these
remedial courses during the first semester of attendance.
Students enrolled in remedial courses as a result of their
placements may not withdraw from these courses unless they
are withdrawing from all courses for the semester. Students
who do not successfully complete all required preparatory
courses during their full-time semester will be limited in the next
semester to 12 credit hours or their equivalent including the
required preparatory courses until all preparatory
requirements are satisfactorily completed. Students who are
restricted from registering for classes due to their remedial
placements may not add these restricted classes through the
Change of Program or Add-Drop process.
A student required to take a remedial course (ENG 001,
RDG 001, RDG 002, MAT 001, MAT 002) who does not
successfully complete the course must enroll for the course the
following semester and shall be permitted to take each remedial
course a maximum of three (3) times. A student who does not
satisfactorily complete any one remedial course after the third
try will be academically dismissed from Nassau Community
College. Readmission will be considered only after the student
has been separated from the College for at least one year
(Fall/Spring) and only if future assessment test results reveal no
need for remediation in the area(s) in which the student was
dismissed.
Nonmatriculated Status - The student will not receive a
degree until matriculated status has been formally granted.
However, nonmatriculated status does not affect a student’s
eligibility to pursue a program leading to a degree.
IMPACT OF WITHDRAWAL
GRADES ON ACADEMIC STANDING
A student who withdraws from more than one course per
semester (i.e., two or more “W” grades in one semester) shall
thereafter be placed on academic limitationno more than 14
credits permitted.
A student who withdraws from more than one course
during a semester of academic limitation, or has not earned
the required grade point average, shall be placed in the next
more restrictive probation category.
A student who earns a total of six or more “W” grades will
automatically be placed in the most restrictive probation
category (i.e., PART-TIME). “W” grades earned prior to
September, 1976 shall not apply.
A student will be removed from academic limitation upon
completion of the probationary semester’s program, provided
he or she has achieved the required grade point average and
has not received more than one “W” grade.
Students who feel that extenuating circumstances warrant
an exception from this policy may appeal through the Office of
the Dean of Students.
Grades attained during the summer sessions will be
considered in conjunction with the following fall semester
grades for purpose of this policy.
A student who has been placed on academic limitation is
required to see a counselor from the Department of Student
Personnel Services.
This policy became effective September 1, 1976, and
applies to all “W” grades earned after that date.
Matriculation Requirements
Matriculated status indicates that a student has been
accepted as a degree candidate in a particular approved
degree program. (See Admissions information). Matriculated
status carries with it the privilege of full-time attendance
(twelve (12) to seventeen (17) credits).
Students whose first date of attendance at Nassau Community
College was in the Fall 1996 semester or later, who begin as
non-degree (or non-matriculated) students, and who already
have a high school diploma or a GED, must take the following
steps in order to become matriculated:
(1) submit official copies of all (required) academic records
[e.g., high school college(s)]
(2) take the College’s assessment tests in reading, writing and
mathematics, (unless an exemption from testing has been
granted, based on previously completed, transferable, courses
in English and/or mathematics)
Non-degree students requiring testing may arrange to
take the required test(s) by contacting the Advisement/Testing
Center at (516) 572-7780.
Once these steps have been completed and test
scores are available, students desiring matriculation status
should contact the Office of the registrar to request a change
of status.
38
AUTOMATIC MATRICULATION
An automatic matriculation procedure permits a student to
be evaluated for matriculation through one college-wide set of
standards. However, the procedure does not bind a student to
a specific department, guarantee entrance into a specific
course, or in any way guarantee day study.
There is no need to apply for matriculation. Notification of
academic status for each succeeding semester will be printed
on the student transcript of record. It is to the student’s benefit,
however, to contact the designated academic department
immediately upon earning matriculation. The automatic
matriculation procedure applies to all students in attendance
prior to the Fall 1996 semester. Students must apply for
matriculated status if their first date of attendance is on or after
the commencement of the Fall 1996 semester.
LIMITATIONS ON MATRICULATION
Because of the limited number of seats available in
classrooms and laboratories, the College must reserve the right
to refuse matriculation into specific departments.
No students are admitted via the automatic matriculation
procedure in the areas of Nursing, Respiratory Care, Surgical
Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic
Technology, Radiotherapy Technology, Medical Laboratory
Technology, Child Care, Early Childhood, Music, Mortuary
Science, Engineering Science or Engineering Technology.
Automatic matriculation will not be granted solely on
summer session attendance.
COURSES FOR MATRICULATION
To attain matriculated status the student must complete
the following course and average requirements:
Course Requirements:
ENG 101 (English Composition), 3 credits; Mathematics or
Science, 3-4 credits by advisement; and Elective, 3 credits by
advisement. Average requirements:
A 2.5 GPA (grade point average) for 9-11 credits; A 2.3 GPA
for 12-18 credits; or a 2.0 GPA for 19-30 credits.
To be considered for admission to a designated area of
concentration, the student should be aware of the following:
Registration
Registration is conducted in a credit priority system, i.e.,
the currently attending students with the highest number of
credits completed and in progress will be given the opportunity
to register first. Students are strongly urged to comply with their
credit priority to assure optimum advisement and choice of
courses. Normally, students who take advantage of their first
opportunity to register are able to secure the courses and
schedule they desire.
Change Of Schedule
DROP/ADD COURSE CHANGE
Students are expected to exercise discretion and
forethought in the selection of courses and in scheduling their
class hours each semester.
Changes of schedule will not be permitted after the first
week of classes in a regular semester or the second day of
classes in a summer session.
Straight withdrawals, however, may be made at any time in
accordance with “Withdrawal Grades” described earlier in this
section on page 30.
All Drop/Adds involving changes of courses should have
the written approval of a faculty advisor. Such approval does
not guarantee admittance to the class.
A fee will be charged for all Drop/Adds during “Late Period”
except “necessary” changes and straight withdrawals (see “Fee
Schedule”).
CHANGE IN APPROVED PROGRAM
A student wishing to change curriculum or area of study
should first obtain a Change of Area form at the Registrar’s
Office or the office of the academic department the student
wishes to enter. The form lists the procedures to be followed.
See “Grade Point Average” section in this Catalog for possible
effect on grades.
Students not meeting the initial admission requirement to
the new area of study will not be given approval for such a
change until they have satisfactorily completed at least 15
credits at the College. The College, unfortunately, must reserve
the right to refuse matriculation or change of area into specific
departments because the number of qualified students often
exceeds the number of spaces available.
Attendance Regulations
No student shall be awarded academic credit for any
course unless properly enrolled (appropriate forms and
payment of tuition and fees) on or before the last date for the
filing of drop/add forms for the semester in question (first week
of fall or spring classes or second day of summer session).
Entering freshmen students will be enrolled for a maximum
of 16 semester hours of credits. Academic advisors may,
however, recommend a 17 or 18 credit load if the student’s
high school record indicates an overall average of 85% or
higher or for other extenuating circumstances. Written approval
of the area department chairperson is required.
39
Continuing and returning students may enroll in no more than
17 credits per semester. In special circumstances, written
approval to enroll for 18 credits may be granted by the
department chairperson or the Dean of Students.
ADMISSION TO CLASS
A student will be admitted to a course only upon the
presentation of a Bursar validated receipt, drop-add form, or
valid Senior Citizen or cross-registration permit.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes. Absences due
to illness or for other serious reasons may be excused by the
instructor. Students are advised that absences in excess of
10% of the total class meetings may result in a student’s
being dropped from the course. Some departments may have
additional attendance guidelines and related grading policies.
The instructor shall detail the specific attendance policy for
his/her class. Students are responsible for all course work
missed.
Students receiving Veterans Administration educational
benefits are reminded of their legal obligation to withdraw
officially and to notify the Veterans Certification Office should
they cease to attend any class.
AUDITING OF CLASSES
With the approval of the Dean of Instruction, auditors may
be permitted in classes under the following conditions:
(1) Regular course fees are paid;
(2) Section enrollment limits are not exceeded;
(3) Auditors are clearly identified to the instructor;
(4) Auditors do not preempt seats desired by credit
students, i.e., auditors are not admitted until after
regular registration for the class is completed;
(5) No more than five auditors are permitted in any
one section.
(6) A grade cannot be subsequently or retroactively
awarded.
Nassau County residents aged 60 years or older please
see page 20 for procedure to participate as a “Senior
Observer.”
RELIGIOUS ABSENCES
The laws of the State of New York, Section 224-a of the
Education Law, provide that:
(1) No person shall be expelled from or be refused
admission as a student to an institution of higher education for
the reason that he or she is unable, because of his or her
religious beliefs, to register or attend classes or to participate in
any examination, study or work requirements on a particular
day or days.
(2) Any student in an institution of higher education who is
unable, because of his or her religious beliefs, to attend classes
on a particular day or days, shall, because of such absence on
the particular day or days, be excused from any examination or
any study or work requirements.
(3) It shall be the responsibility of the faculty and of the
administrative officials of each institution of higher education
to make available to each student who is absent from school,
because of his or her religious beliefs, an equivalent
opportunity to register for classes or make up any examination,
study or work requirements which he or she may have missed
because of such absence on any particular day or days. No
fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making
available to the said student such equivalent opportunity.
(4) If registration, classes, examinations, study or work
requirements are held on Friday after four o’clock post meridian
or on Saturday, similar or makeup classes, examinations, study
or work requirements or opportunity to register shall be made
available on other days, where it is possible and practicable to
do so. No special fees shall be charged to the student for these
classes, examinations, study or work requirements or
registration held on other days.
(5) In effectuating the provisions of this section, it shall be
the duty of the faculty and of the administrative officials of each
institution of higher education to exercise the fullest measure of
good faith. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result to any
student because of his or her availing himself or herself of the
provisions of this section.
(6) Any student, who is aggrieved by the alleged failure of
any faculty or administrative officials to comply in good faith
with the provisions of this section, shall be entitled to maintain
an action or proceeding in the Supreme Court of the county in
which such institution of higher education is located for the
enforcement of his or her rights under this section.
(6-a) It shall be the responsibility of the administrative
officials of each institution of higher education to give written
notice to students of their rights under this section, informing
them that each student who is absent from school, because of
his or her religious beliefs, must be given an equivalent
opportunity to register for classes or make up any examination,
study or work requirements which he or she may have missed
because of such absence on any particular day or days. No
fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making
available to such student such equivalent opportunity.
40
(7) As used in this section, the term “institution of higher
education” shall mean any institution of higher education,
recognized and approved by the Regents of the University of
the State of New York, which provides a course of study
leading to the granting of a post-secondary degree or diploma.
Such term shall not include any institution which is operated,
supervised or controlled by a church or by a religious or
denominational organization whose educational programs are
principally designed for the purpose of training ministers or
other religious functionaries or for the purpose of propagating
religious doctrines. As used in this section, the term “religious
belief” shall mean beliefs associated with any corporation
organized and operated exclusively for religious purposes,
which is not disqualified for tax exemption under section 501 of
the United States Code.
Graduation
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A minimum cumulative average of 2.0 is required for
graduation from both degree and certificate programs. Students
are required to complete at least 33 credit hours in residence
for degree programs and 15 credit hours in residence for
certificate programs. In addition, the final 12 credits of a
Nassau Community College degree must also be completed in
residence. Under extenuating circumstances, the Dean of
Instruction may grant permission, in writing, for a student to
transfer back not more than 12 credits required to complete the
Nassau Community College degree. Securing the Dean’s
permission does not alter the minimum number of credits in
residency for degree and certificate programs.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION &
HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Evening students need NOT complete the two-credit
requirement in physical education activities. Veterans, students
over 25 years of age at the time of admission, and evening
students who transfer to full-time day study should consult with
the Office of the Registrar or their academic advisor regarding
special regulations governing requirements in physical
education activities. This process is critical to proper
advisement for graduation.
In all degree programs requiring a health course, all
students, regardless of age, will be required to complete that
course. The requirement may be fulfilled by one of the five
electives:
PED 200 - Concepts of Healthful Living 3 credits
PED 201 - Personal and Family Health 2 credits
PED 251 - Family Life and Human
Sexuality 3 credits
PED 271 - Introduction To Alcohol Use,
Abuse, and Other Chemical
Dependencies 3 credits
PED 293 - Community Health 3 credits
LABORATORY SCIENCE ELECTIVES
All students must fulfill a laboratory science requirement
for graduation; courses qualifying all carry four credits and are
to be selected from laboratory science offerings: Biology (BIO);
Chemistry (CHE); Engineering/ Physics/Technology (PHY);
General Science Studies (GSS); Multidisciplinary Science
(MDS); or Physical Sciences (SCI).
Students are advised that science courses require the
completion of homework and class assignments beyond the
scheduled lectures and laboratories.
Social Science, Defined:
Social Science for the A.A. Degree: Students may select
from the following credit-level courses to earn social science

American history and AFR 185 (African-American Culture); Art;
Communications; Dance; English courses, when taken after
completing the English requirement; Foreign Languages;
Library; Music; Philosophy; Reading; and Theatre. In addition,
the multi-disciplinary courses, MDC 102 and MDC 130, are
considered humanities.
Humanities for the A.S. and A.A.S. Degrees:
Students in these degree programs must select
Humanities courses from the Basic Course List (below).
41
Basic Course List for
A.S. and A.A.S. Students:

COURSES
Recognizing that the boundaries
of the various academic disciplines
frequently overlap and that an
appreciation of the interrelatedness of
knowledge can be encouraged, the
faculty has developed several
interdisciplinary courses. The Making
of the Modern Mind I-II (MDC 101-
102) and Modern World Societies I-II
(IGS 101-102), are two such
offerings.
These courses, which have no
prerequisite, fulfill general elective
credit for all students. IGS courses
serve as social science electives for
all students; MDC 102 and MDC 130
fulfill humanities credit for the A.A.
degree only. For further information,
consult the course description section
of this catalog.

Graduation Procedures
GRADUATION
WITH HONORS
Honors graduates will be awarded
degrees:
Summa cum Laude (with the
greatest praise) if the cumulative
average is
3.9 or higher;
Magna cum Laude (with great
praise)
if the cumulative average is 3.7 to
3.89; or
Cum Laude (with praise) if the
cumulative average is 3.5 to 3.69.
These honors will be inscribed on
the diploma and noted on the
official transcript of record.
TWO-YEAR PROGRAMS OFTEN
TAKE MORE THAN TWO YEARS
The sample four-semester program sequences which are
described in the “Programs of Study” section are designed for
students who intend to devote full time and energy to their
studies. Many students, however, must work at full- or part-
time jobs while in attendance and others are in need of
remediation course work not shown in the sequences.
Therefore, many students spend more than two years at
Nassau.
In fact, approximately half the students graduating from
community colleges nationwide do not follow the traditional
four-semester pattern. Many students elect to attend additional
semesters in order to enhance those skills necessary for a
successful college career. Students expecting to spend only
two years at N.C.C. should be aware of this trend. Often,
students utilize the Summer Sessions to accelerate studies.
CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY
No student may graduate without eligibility duly certified by
the Office of the Registrar. Prospective graduates must
complete “Request for Graduation” forms available from the
Registrar during their final semester. Upon completion of all
items, the forms must be submitted to the Bursar with the
appropriate graduation fee. Deadlines must be strictly
observed to provide the college with adequate lead time
necessary to certify graduates, determine awards, and print
degrees and certificates.
SECOND DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE
A second degree (or certificate) may be undertaken either
concurrently or consecutively at Nassau Community College
only when a significant amount of additional course work in a
very different field is completed.
Further, each second degree candidate must complete at
least 24 additional credits in the “different field” (of the 24, 15
must be taken at Nassau Community College).
Additionally, each second degree shall contain a
minimum of 33 credits “in residence.”
Finally, each candidate seeking a second degree must
obtain the prior written recommendation of the second degree
chairperson (or program director) and prior approval of the
Dean of Instruction on the appropriate form provided.
Ordinarily, students who pursue a degree shall not
subsequently be granted a certificate in the same field.
However, nothing shall prevent a student from subsequently
pursuing a degree in the same field as the one he has
undertaken studies for a certificate.
In cases where students have already completed a degree
or certificate program and wish to pursue a new certificate, 12
credits must be taken in the new program (9 of the 12 must be
taken at Nassau Community College).
All candidates must comply with the College’s in residence
graduation requirement. (See section on Graduation.)
43
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Students at Nassau Community College assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with
the function of the College as an educational institution. They are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the catalog
containing all rules and regulations of the College. By enrolling at the College, students agree to abide by the RULES AND
REGULATIONS OF THE STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT developed in part by the students of the institution and endorsed by
the College administration and its Board of Trustees (See “Rules and Regulations of Conduct” at the end of this section.)
STUDENT RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE CLASSROOM
The following policy, to which the College subscribes, is
based on a “Joint Statement of Rights and Freedoms of Students”
sponsored by the American Association of University Professors:
(1) A student has the right to be informed at the first
or second class meeting about the content of the
course. This includes information about the criteria
and their weighting to be used in academic evaluation of
his/her performance. The grading system
described in the college catalog will be followed.
However, after the second class meeting it becomes
the student’s obligation to request this.
(2) Students should be free to take reasoned exception
to the data or views offered in any course of study
and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion,
but they are responsible for learning the content of
any course of study for which they enrolled.
(3) A student has the right to receive a grade based
upon a fair and just academic evaluation of his/her
performance in a course, as measured by the
standards established by his/her instructor at the
first or second class meeting. Such criteria as race,
religion, color, national origin, sex, appearance,
political affiliation or activities are irrelevant to
grading. At the same time, the student is responsible for
maintaining standards of academic performance established for
each course in which he/she is enrolled, and for following the
student Code of Conduct as outlined in the college catalog.
(4) Information about a student’s views, beliefs, and
political associations which professors acquire in
the course of their work as instructors, advisors,
and counselors should be considered confidential.
Judgments of ability and character may be provided
under appropriate circumstances, normally with
the knowledge or consent of the student.
CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
You and your instructor both have responsibilities relative to
the course. Your instructor’s responsibility is to give you a syllabus
and to organize assignments and classroom activities to assist you
in learning the material and achieving the course objectives. As the
course unfolds, you have responsibilities to fulfill in order to
complete the course successfully.
You are expected to:
1. Attend all class sessions and to be punctual.
(You are responsible for all work covered
whenever you are absent.)
2. Read, understand and follow instructions given
in the course syllabus.
3. Complete reading and writing assignments.
4. Take notes during class.
5. When asked to do so, work collaboratively with
other students.
6. Submit assignments on time.
7. Complete your work without cheating or
committing plagiarism.
8. Participate actively in class.
9. Evaluate your own progress continuously.
10. Meet with your instructor during assigned
office hours.
11. Exhibit proper behavior in the classroom:
(See policy statement on classroom management,
page 36.)
DISCRIMINATION AND
HARASSMENT IS UNLAWFUL
Guidelines of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act focus upon
sexual harassment as an unlawful practice. Sexual
harassment, like harassment on the basis of color, race,
religion, or national origin, has been recognized by the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as a violation
of Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as
amended. (Federal Register, April 11, 1980) Interpretations
of Title IX of the Education Amendments similarly delineate
sexual harassment as discriminatory and unlawful.
Sexual harassment is a violation of Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibit sex
discrimination in education. Sexual harassment consists
of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors,
and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
where grades or educational progress are made contingent
upon submission to such conduct, or where the conduct
has the purpose or effect of interfering with the individual’s
academic performance, or of creating an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive educational environment.
Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act bans
discrimination because of race, color, sex, religion or
national origin. It covers all terms and conditions of
employment, including hiring, promotions, compensation,
terminations and demotions.
As applied to postsecondary education, section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 794, as
amended by Section 111(a) of the Rehabilitation Act
Amendments of 1974, prohibits discrimination on the basis
of handicap in admissions and recruitment. This section
contains several specific provisions similar to those
prohibiting sex discrimination in admissions under Title IX.
Any questions concerning these policies or allegations
of noncompliance should be directed to: Affirmative Action
Officer, 818 Administrative Tower, Nassau Community
College, One Education Drive, Garden City, N.Y. 11530-
6793.
AVAILABILITY OF STUDENT RECORDS
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act permits
current or former students to inspect and review their
education records. Students are also accorded a right to a
44
hearing in order to question the contents of their education records.
Written consent from students may be required before personally
identifiable information about them will be released from their
education records, as provided by law.
Nassau Community College publishes no directory of students’
names, addresses and telephone numbers. However, it does
publish lists, to include home towns, of graduates and of academic
honor recipients. Additionally, participants in extra-curricular
activities may further be identified with their activities, their activity
records, the schools they formerly attended, and, in the case of
athletes, their ages, heights and weights. Students wishing to have
this information withheld from public disclosure should file a written
statement specifying the information they wish withheld with the

SECTION III: RULES AND REGULATIONS
REGARDING INITIATION OR AFFILIATION
WITH STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
A. Nassau Community College recognizes that
membership in a fraternity/sorority or other
campus organization (hereinafter collectively
referred to as an “Organization”) can be a
meaningful experience in conjunction with
other aspects of the educational process.
Unfortunately, however, membership or
prospective membership in an organization
is sometimes accompanied by an activity
commonly known as “hazing”. Hazing has
been defined as generally including, among
other things:
1. -Any action or situation which recklessly or
intentionally endangers mental or physical health or
involves the consumption of liquor, drugs, or other
substances, for the purpose of initiation into or affiliation
with any organization.
2. -Any other act or series of acts which cause
bodily or physical harm or danger.
3. -Mistreatment by playing stunts or practicing
abusive or humiliating tricks that subject an individual to
personal indignity, humiliation or ridicule.
47
4.Harassment by exacting unnecessary, disagreeable,
difficult or degrading work or harassment by ridicule,
criticism or public embarrassment.
B.Hazing is a violation of the Penal Law and
other laws of the State of New York.
Accordingly, the College affirms its policy that
it will not condone hazing of any kind. To this
end, any student or organization who engages
in hazing may be ejected from the campus and,
where appropriate, shall be subject to suspen-
sion, expulsion or other disciplinary action.
1. In the case of an organization: the
College may take any or all of the
following actions against any
organization which authorizes hazing
or whose members (whether individually
or in concert) engage in hazing:
rescind permission for the organization
to operate on campus property; rescind
recognition of the organization; freeze
and/or rescind its budget; and prohibit
the organization from using the
College’s name.
2. In the case of a student(s): the student
shall be requested to cease and desist
from such prohibited conduct, and if
he/she fails to do so, necessary and
appropriate action will be taken to eject
such student from College property,
consistent with Section II of the Student
Code of Conduct. In addition, disciplin-
ary proceedings shall be commenced,
pursuant to the Student Code of
Conduct against any student who
engages in hazing. In accordance
with those procedures, the penalties
of suspension, expulsion or other
disciplinary action may be imposed.
3. Wherever, in the opinion of the President
or his designee, the conduct of any
individual or organization poses an
imminent threat to the physical or
emotional safety of himself/herself, to
others or to the property, the President
or his designee may immediately
suspend such individual or organization
and/or eject such individual or organiza-
tion from the campus pending any
appropriate hearing and final determina-
tion therein, consistent with Section II of
the Student Code of Conduct.
4. In addition to the foregoing, the College
reaffirms its right to utilize and seek the
aid of public authorities and such
judicial, civil and criminal processes and
proceedings as may, in the discretion of
the College, be necessary and appropri
ate. Any penalty imposed by the College
may be in addition to any penalty
pursuant to the Penal Law or any other
law to which a violator or organization
may be subject.
C. The foregoing Rules and Regulations shall be
deemed to be part of the bylaws of all College
organizations.
Glossary of Terms and Sanctions
Expulsion: The immediate removal of a student from
the College, prohibiting future enrollment at the institution
without recourse.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT AND THE ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT CENTER
Mission
The mission of the academic advising program at Nassau
Community College is to assist students in the development of
meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their goals.
Further, it is to fully inform students regarding requirements in their
areas of concentration and expose students to the variety of course
and degree options offered by the College. This should take the
form of an ongoing discussion between advisor and student, beyond
merely a consideration of courses for registration, which continues
through the student's college experience.
Design
The Office of Academic Advisement, located at the Academic
Advisement Center, reports to the Dean of Instruction. It is
responsible for the overall direction of the academic advising
program at the College. It coordinates services offered by a variety
of departments and offices. These services are outlined in the table
below.

The Shared Responsibility of Advisor and Student
for Effective Advisement.
The advisor should provide accurate and timely
information regarding degree requirements and
recommend appropriate course work for completion of the
degree.
The student should take an active approach to the
advisement conversation by reviewing his/her
requirements prior to meeting the advisor. This enables
the advisor to review the student's planning and address
any differences in calculations of credits or courses
required. Questions or concerns can then be checked
and resolved expeditiously.
Academic Advisement Center
The Academic Advisement Center is the College's
resource center for academic advisement. In conjunction
with the liberal arts departments, it is the primary
academic advisement provider for both liberal arts and

large part, by students involved in clubs and organizations.

lives of those participating and give student leaders the
opportunity to plan and implement programs. This
responsibility helps students build character, develop
greater understanding of others, learn leadership skills, and
have a greater sense of their own abilities.

leader, the student must be in full-time attendance and

The Nursing Department offers a curriculum, accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission* leading to an Associate in
Science Degree and eligibility for the National Council Licensure Examination Registered Nurse. The graduate of the Nassau Community College
Nursing Program evidences the ability to function in the three roles as:
Provider of care: the graduate of our Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program utilizes the nursing process to meet patient needs across the life
cycle.
Manager of care: the graduate of our ADN Program coordinates care for patients, collaborates with patients and other health team members, and
appropriately delegates aspects of patient care as appropriate.
Member within the discipline: the ADN graduate of our program practices within the ethical and legal framework of nursing, and is accountable
for nursing practice. The graduate of this ADN Program is committed to professional development and continuous learning.
The required nursing courses (NUR 103, NUR 104, NUR 105, NUR 203, and NUR 204) are offered only during the September to May academic
year. These courses must be taken consecutively because each course provides the foundation for subsequent courses. September admission has
both day and evening options. January admission has only a day option. Seats in the evening nursing courses are limited. Please be aware that
obtaining a seat in Nursing is highly competitive and is dependent upon the number of applications, the number of available seats, and the applicant’s
ranking according to grade point average for the courses applicable to the Nursing curriculum. Meeting the stipulated criteria does not guarantee a
seat.
If, upon graduation, an individual’s application for licensure reveals that the applicant has been convicted of a crime or that there are pending
charges, an investigation will be conducted by the Office of Professional Discipline of the State Education Department.

OFFICE: Nassau Hall, Room M-217, 572-7450.
CHAIRPERSON: Christopher P. Mooney.
FACULTY: E. Deluty, J. Esposito, M. Halfon, N. Newton.
COURSES OFFERED: Philosophy (PHI).
Philosophy is the love of wisdom and as such it stands at the center of a liberal arts education. It is the one subject which integrates all other
disciplines through its pursuit of the ideals of truth, goodness and beauty. Through rational reflection and critical analysis, philosophy guides the
student to make choices and form judgments regarding personal values, beliefs and points of view. The philosopher questions all things so that
answers may be found for the fundamental issues of human life. Besides serving as a cornerstone for a liberal education, philosophy provides a
good foundation for upper level studies in the humanities and the social sciences, as well as for professional studies in law and medicine. Students
wishing to pursue study at the baccalaureate level in this subject should see departmental advisors. Since several colleges now have a philosophy
requirement, students are advised to plan ahead accordingly.

NCC Occupational / Career Programs - Job Placement
To determine job placement rates, the College surveyed graduates receiving credentials between
July 1, 1995 and June 30, 1996. Out of a total of 894 vocational/career program graduates included
in the survey, 312 responded. Graduates of transfer-oriented programs are not included in these
statistics because those students intend to continue their education beyond NCC rather than to
seek immediate employment. Ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of the career graduates responding to
the survey indicated they were either currently employed or continuing their education.
