OVERVIEW College Catalog 2023 - 2024
About NCC
One of every five 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 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 27. The
College serves these "non-traditional" students with special adult orientation and advice from enrolled adult students.
NCC: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
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 reached over 23,000 students in 1982, following the completion in 1978 of two new academic wings, a modern library, physical education
complex, and administrative tower. Despite fewer high school graduates today, 23,404 students were enrolled in the Fall of 2014.
In January 1997, a 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.
Having opened for classes in fall 2012, the 72,000 square foot Life Sciences Building, which houses the Chemistry and Nursing programs as
well as common use classrooms, is the recipient of the LEED Gold certification by the US Green Building Council. The Life Sciences Building
includes state-of-the-art organic and inorganic chemistry laboratories as well as advanced simulation laboratories modeled after modern hospital
rooms for our nursing students. Every classroom is equipped with the latest digital audio visual resources to facilitate active learning.
In the fall of 2016, the new Student Service Center opened. It is a 30,000 square foot facility which houses all major student enrollment services
– Admissions, Advisement, Placement Testing, Registrar, Bursar, Financial Aid, Student Financial Affairs, ID Card issuing, Information
Services and the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) for NCC. The facility features a fully automated queuing system speeding up student
registration and drastically reduce wait time. The Center includes information kiosks, self-service stations, and television monitors to keep student
up to date on important college news.
As the needs of a maturing Nassau County change, the College, too, is evolving and developing. Among recent initiatives is a college-wide
retention committee that is committed to finding ways of increasing the College's retention rate. The committee is represented and administration.
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. In addition, NCC
recently updated its degree audit program to the very popular DegreeWorks program as part of a SUNY wide initiative which enables students to
stay aware of degree requirements, perform what-if scenarios, and eventually be to see how credits will transfer for students staying in the SUNY
system.
ACADEMICS
Nassau Community College, the largest single campus community college of SUNY's 30 community colleges, enjoys a nationwide reputation
for academic excellence and ease of transferability to four-year schools. Nassau's faculty is one of the best in New York State, having a higher
than average number of Ph.D.’s and Ed.Ds and one of the lowest teacher/student ratios. The modern campus includes a library with sophisticated
audio-visual facilities, as well as classroom/laboratory wings equipped with personal computers and state-of-the-art apparatus for instruction in
over 70 different fields of study in business, fine and performing arts, health-related sciences, liberal arts and sciences, mathematics/computer
processing, natural sciences, engineering technologies and social sciences. Weekend, evening and Distance Education courses are available as
well.
CAMPUS LIFE
At Nassau, the hours spent outside the classroom are as important as those spent in study. Students may join a club or create one, run a newspaper
or run for office, book a band or play in it, deejay or dance, act or interact, work or play. The extensive campus life at Nassau Community College
offers students the opportunity to sample their career choices or explore recreational areas of interest. Nassau campus life offers over 100 clubs
to join and numerous recreational and social events to attend. Spring, summer, winter or fall, Nassau Community College offers students an
outstanding array of activities for relaxation and personal growth.
ATHLETICS
Expert coaching in the finest indoor and outdoor athletic facilities has made the men's and women's varsity teams at 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.

A. Holly Patterson Library
The A. Holly Patterson Library supports students in an active learning environment, providing research assistance and access to information in
multiple formats produced worldwide. Group and individual study spaces, anatomy and physiology models, reserve copies of current textbooks,
over 200 computers for student use, and information literacy instruction conducted in electronic classrooms round out the Library’s offerings.
When classes are in session, the Library is open over 70 hours per week with night and Saturday coverage. Over 483,000 persons visited the
library last year. They borrowed books and non-print items; used periodicals and reference works in print and online formats, as well as reserve
copies of textbooks and other required materials; accessed the Internet; and used the library’s facilities for group and individual study. Over 4
million database searches were conducted, resulting in almost 388,000 document downloads. In addition, our participation in the interlibrary loan
network allowed us to acquire needed items from other libraries while we supplied their patrons with requested items.
The physical collection now numbers over 210,000 books and non-print items and over 100 print periodical titles. Electronic database
subscriptions, accessible from any computer through the Library’s webpage, allow for ready access to information published in thousands of
newspapers, journals and reference works in full-text, audio and video online formats.
By taking advantage of several resource sharing projects, Nassau offers access to a wide array of electronic information sources. The New York
State Library’s Novel project provides library users with a wealth of full-text journal and newspaper articles. Nassau Community College belongs
to the State University of New York’s SUNYConnect program that provides seamless access to a worldwide virtual library of information to
any SUNY student, at any computer, anywhere. Additional resources are also made available through Nassau’s membership in the local library
consortium, the Long Island Library Resources Council.
The Library’s Reference Unit is pleased to offer several online services through the Library’s website. By clicking on our “Ask a Librarian”
link, members of the College community may chat with a librarian whenever the Library is open or post an e-mail reference question and receive
a response within 24 hours. Our “Interlibrary Loan” link allows faculty, staff and students to submit Interlibrary Loan requests for books or
periodical articles. Furthermore, our “Book a Class” link allows faculty to make online requests for Information Literacy instruction sessions.
A principal part of the Library’s mission is instruction. Library faculty provide individual information service in all public service areas
throughout the year. Our Information Commons currently houses over 200 public access computers used by students for research. In addition,
students may use the wireless internet network with their own laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices. The Library also offers individually
designed lectures on library research to college classes, typically serving students by teaching 400-500 scheduled sessions per year. Classes
are typically taught in a lab-style lecture room featuring 30 student computers for hands-on instruction. In addition, librarians teach several
sections of the three-credit course, “Introduction to Library Research” and the one-credit course, “Essential Research for College Success,” each
semester.
The Library is housed in a four-story building located between Clusters A-D and E-F.

The State University
The State University of New York (SUNY) encompasses 64 geographically dispersed campuses (both two and four-year) that 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 single campus of 30 two-year colleges operating under the system. When founded in 1948, the State University
of New York system consolidated 29 Stat-operated, but unaffiliated, institutions whose varied histories of service dated as far back as 1816.
SUNY 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
428,000 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 under- graduate
enrollment. Approximately one-third of all New York State high school graduates continue on to a SUNY institution. Nassau Community College
has the highest number of minority students among SUNY's community colleges. 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 promote both personal enrichment and professional growth.
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 motto is:
"TO LEARN...TO SEARCH...TO SERVE"

Academic Dishonesty & Plagiarism
Academic dishonesty, which includes plagiarism and cheating, will result in some form of disciplinary action that may lead to suspension or
expulsion under the rules of the Student Code of Conduct. Cheating can take many forms including but not limited to copying from another
student on an examination, using improper forms of assistance, or receiving unauthorized aid when preparing an independent item of work to be
submitted for a grade, be it in written, verbal or electronic form. Anyone who assists or conspires to assist another in an act of plagiarism or any
other form of academic dishonesty may also be subject to disciplinary action.
Plagiarism is a particular type of academic dishonesty that involves taking the words, phrases or ideas of another person and presenting them as
one's own. This can include using whole papers and paragraphs or even sentences or phrases. Plagiarized work may also involve statistics, lab
assignments, art work, graphics, photographs, computer programs and other materials. The sources of plagiarized materials include but are not
limited to books, magazines, encyclopedias or journals; electronic retrieval sources such as materials on the Internet; other individuals; or paper-
writing services.
A student may be judged guilty of plagiarism if the student:
(a) Submits as one's own an assignment produced by another, in whole or in part.
(b) Submits the exact words of another, paraphrases the words of another or presents statistics, lab
assignments, art work, graphics, photographs, computer programs and other materials without attributing
the work to the source, suggesting that this work is the student's own.
Allegations of student plagiarism and academic dishonesty will be dealt with by the appropriate academic department personnel. It is the policy
of Nassau Community College that, at the discretion of the faculty member, serious acts will be reported in writing to the Office of the Dean of
Students, where such records will be kept for a period of five years beyond the student's last semester of attendance at the College. These records
will remain internal to the College and will not be used in any evaluation made for an outside individual or agency unless there is a disciplinary
action determined by a formal ruling under the Student Code of Conduct, in which case only those records pertaining to the disciplinary action
may apply. A student whose alleged action is reported to the Office of the Dean of Students will be notified by that office and will have the right
to submit a letter of denial or explanation.
The Dean will use his/her discretion in determining whether the alleged violation(s) could warrant disciplinary action under the Student Code of
Conduct. In that case the procedures governing the Code of Conduct will be initiated.
Academic Programs
The New York State Education Department has authorized Nassau Community College to award degrees and certificates in the following
programs listed with HEGIS (Higher Education General Information Survey) code. Students are advised that enrollment in other than registered
or otherwise approved programs may jeopardize eligibility for certain State and Federal aid awards.

Academic Standings
Academic standing is determined according to the regulations of the Academic Standing Committee and are made at the conclusion of each
semester. Academic standing will only be printed at the top of each semester on your online unofficial transcript.
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 Average 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:
• 1.7 with 1-14 credits attempted (usually one semester)
• 1.8 with 15-29 credits attempted (usually two semesters)
• 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
(fewer 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 below the required minimum will be academically dismissed. The Office of the Dean of Students implements,
interprets, and ensures 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.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 21
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
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/ESL Courses
The following conditions apply to students who require a remedial/ESL course, i.e., COM 030, ENG 001, ENG 030, MAT 001, MAT 002, MAT
003, RDG 001, RDG 002, RDG 030, WRT 001:
1. Students must enroll in required remedial/ESL courses during their first semester of attendance.
2. The only possible grades for these courses are “S” (Satisfactory), “U” (Unsatisfactory) and "UU" (Unofficial Withdrawal). For extreme
situations, see number 8 below.
3. Any student who does not successfully complete a required remedial/ESL course must register again for the course the following
semester.
4. Any student who earns a grade of “U” in a required remedial/ESL course will be limited to the equivalent of 14 credits in subsequent
semesters until all remedial/ESL requirements are satisfactorily completed.
5. A student may repeat a single, failed remedial/ESL course only twice, and will be academically dismissed after the third failure, upon
review by the Office of Placement Testing in consultation with the chair or the chair’s designated coordinator of the department that
offers the remedial or ESL course.
6. MAT 003 may be taken only once. In the event of failure the student will be appropriately placed into MAT 001 or MAT 002 for what
will count as a second attempt at that course.
7. A dismissed student will be considered for readmission only after being separated from the College for at least one year (fall/spring), and
only if future placement tests results reveal no need for remediation in the course(s) for which the student was dismissed.
8. Students can only withdraw from the required remedial/ESL courses if they are officially withdrawing from all courses for the semester in
response to extenuating circumstances, such as a medical or personal emergency. In such cases, the student must present to the office of
the Dean of Students cause for withdrawal from all courses and request a W grade that would not affect academic standing.
9. Some academic departments have designated courses which students cannot take until remedial/ESL requirements have been satisfied.
Students with remedial/ESL requirements cannot register for those restricted courses and may not add them through the Change of
Program or Drop/Add process.
Academic Program Requirements for Students Placed into Two or Three Remedial Courses
The following additional conditions apply to students who require two or three remedial courses from among ENG 001, MAT 001, MAT 002,
MAT 003, RDG 001, RDG 002, WRT 001.
In addition to fulfilling their remediation requirements specified in the previous section, these students must enroll in NCC 101 – The College
Experience, during the summer or winterim session prior to their first semester of attendance, or during their first semester of attendance.
Students required to enroll in NCC 101 and who do not successfully complete the course must register again for NCC 101 until they do so.
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 limitation — no more than 14 credits permitted.
• A student who withdraws from more than one course during a semester of academic limitation, or who 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 the purpose of
this policy.
• A student who has been placed on academic limitation is required to see a Student Personnel Services counselor.
Academic Progress for Students on Academic Probation
A student currently on academic probation is required to obtain academic counseling at the Center for Educational and Retention Counseling
(CERC). A registration hold due to the student’s low cumulative grade point average (GPA) will be placed. The hold will remain on a student’s
record until it is released by CERC. To have the hold removed a student must complete one of the following: 1) Attend a Retention Strategy
Session or, 2) Complete the online Retention Strategy Session. The CERC is located in Nassau Hall (M Building) Room 19.

G. Compliance With The Higher Education Opportunity Act
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) requires the College to address unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials,
including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing. In order to meet the College's obligations under this Act, the College shall disseminate the
following statement to students, faculty and staff on a regular basis:
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 25
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
The College strictly prohibits the users of its networks from engaging in unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials, including
unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing. Anyone who engages in such illegal file sharing is violating the United States Copyright law, and may
be subject to criminal and civil penalties. Under federal law, a person found to have infringed upon a copyrighted work may be liable for actual
damages and lost profits attributable to the infringement, and statutory damages of up to $150,000. The copyright owner also has the right to
permanently enjoin an infringer from further infringing activities, and the infringing copies and equipment used in the infringement can be
impounded and destroyed. If a copyright owner elected to bring a civil lawsuit against the copyright infringer and ultimately prevailed in the
claim, the infringer may also become liable to the copyright owner for their attorney's fees and court costs. Finally, criminal penalties may be
assessed against the infringer and could include jail time, depending upon the severity of the violation.
Students should be aware that unauthorized or illegal use of College computers (such as engaging in illegal file sharing and distribution of
copyrighted materials), is an infraction of the Student Code of Conduct and may subject them to disciplinary measures.
To explore legal alternatives to unauthorized downloading, please consult the following website: http://www.educause.edu/legalcontent
III. Reporting, Investigations, and Sanctions
Students, faculty, staff or other authorized individuals who use computer resources for improper purposes shall be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including discharge and/or expulsion. Any person who receives material on his/her computer which he/she believes violates a
College policy should contact the Office of Marketing & Communications. Any other concerns or inquiries regarding perceived violation of the
Acceptable Use Policy for Data Networks and Computer Resources should likewise be reported to the Office of Marketing & Communications
(telephone: 516-572-9634; email: [email protected]) for appropriate action. Personnel designated by the Administration and
in consultation, when necessary, with the Office of Public Safety will investigate alleged violations of the policies articulated herein. While an
alleged violation is under investigation, computing privileges may be suspended. Where a confirmed violation is serious or persists, a restriction
of computing privileges may be imposed, temporarily or permanently, by the College. Cases involving violations of statutory law will be turned
over to the Office of Public Safety or to the appropriate authorities and may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties.
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 credits per semester in residence and have attained a 3.5 semester average or
higher, with no grades of Withdrawal ("W"), Unofficial Withdrawal ("WU"), Failure ("F"), Unsatisfactory ("U"), Unofficial Withdrawal for Non-
Credit Remedial Courses ("UU"), Never Attended ("NA") 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 are
otherwise in good academic standing. The GPA for part-time students is calculated upon the completion of each 12 semester credits, without
respect to the number of semesters the student has been in attendance. Eligibility for the Dean's Honor List is recalculated after each 12
additional credits 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"), Unofficial Withdrawal ("WU"), Failure ("F"), Unsatisfactory ("U"), Unofficial
Withdrawal for Non-Credit Remedial Courses ("UU"), Never Attended ("NA") or Incomplete ("INC"). Repeated courses will not be counted as
credits attempted for the purpose of compiling the Dean's Honor List.
Degrees and Certificates Defined
The following descriptions of the three degree and certificate programs offered by the College are for comparative purposes only. In planning
a program of study, students are to be guided by the academic programs presented in the Programs of Study section and select their courses in
consultation with an advisor. View a list of Academic Programs by degree type.
Associate In Arts (AA)
This degree is primarily for transfer programs which lead to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The curriculum is composed largely of courses in the
liberal arts and sciences.
Associate In Science (AS)
This degree may be used for certain occupationally-oriented curricula, but is primarily for transfer programs which lead to the Bachelor of
Science degree. The curricula are composed largely of courses in their respective disciplines.
Associate In Applied Science (AAS)
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.
Associate in Occupational Studies (AOS)
This degree is exclusively for occupationally oriented curricula.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 26
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
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 a shorter time than the Associate degree program —
sometimes in less than a year. Designed for those eager to enter the work force, Certificate programs at the College offer career preparation 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.
General Education at Nassau Community College
General Education at NCC is a set of specified categories of courses that contribute to the development of an educated person: one who thinks
clearly, communicates effectively, makes informed and thoughtful judgments, distinguishes among sets of values, displays an appreciation for
learning, and applies knowledge to the understanding of the human experience.
At NCC, General Education is achieved by the completion of a distribution of courses designed to enable students to:
1. Read and listen effectively;
2. Speak and write clearly and persuasively;
3. Think critically and creatively;
4. Understand scientific methodology; reason quantitatively, and function in a technological environment;
5. Develop personal, social, and aesthetic values through an understanding of culture, nature, self and society;
6. Develop an understanding of and appreciation for behaviors that promote the good health of body and mind;
7. Develop literacy and appreciation in the visual and performing arts.
The selection of General Education courses depends on the curriculum requirements for a degree. These courses are grouped within the following
categories and are designated in the Course Descriptions section of this catalog with the corresponding codes. The complete list of courses is
available on campus at the Academic Advisement Center and on the Advisement Center website. Each course viewed on Banner Self-Serve is
also individually coded. Only those courses on the approved lists will satisfy the Nassau Community College general education requirements.

Grade Grievance Policy
Students who believe that there has been a violation of a specific policy or procedure as stated in either the NCC Catalog or the grieved
instructor's course syllabus that adversely affected their grade in a particular course may appeal their grade, if they do so before the appropriate
deadline (see the section on deadlines below).
At each step of the process described below, a student must submit a detailed written argument explaining why his/her grade grievance should be
upheld.
Grievances must be pursued in the following manner until satisfaction is obtained, a grievance is dismissed, or a decision is reached. The grieved
instructor may initiate a grade change at any point in the procedure.
• Step 1: With the grieved instructor who issued the grade.
• Step 2: With the grieved instructor’s department chairperson (and with any members of Department Personnel and
Budget [P&B] Committee that the chair wishes to include).
• Step 3: With the grieved instructor’s department chairperson and Academic Standing Committee Chair.
If the grieved instructor's department chair (or his/her designee in the case of recusal) and the Academic Standing Committee Chair (or the next
ranking member of the Committee in the case of recusal), unanimously conclude that there is no evidence of a possible violation of a specific
policy or procedure as stated in either the NCC Catalog or in the grieved instructor's course syllabus that adversely affected the student's grade in
a particular course, then the grievance will be dismissed without a further hearing. The student will be informed of the final decision to dismiss
the grade grievance. In all other cases, the department chair and the Academic Standing Committee Chair will form an Ad Hoc Committee to hear
the student's grievance.
The Ad Hoc Committee will be a joint committee consisting of three (3) members from the concerned department's P&B Committee, three (3)
faculty members from the Academic Standing Committee, and one (1) student representative from the Student Government Association. There
will be co-chairs of the Ad Hoc Committee, one (1) member of the P&B Committee and one (1) member of the Academic Standing Committee.
After a hearing, the Ad Hoc Committee will deliberate and vote on the student's grade grievance. A student's grade grievance will be upheld if
two-thirds (2/3) of the P&B Committee members and two-thirds (2/3) faculty members from the Academic Standing Committee find in favor of
the student. The Ad Hoc Committee will not re-evaluate a student's work in deciding a grade grievance. The student's grade can be adjusted only
if there has been a violation of a specific policy or procedure as stated in either the NCC Catalog or the grieved instructor's own course syllabus
that adversely affected a student's grade. In cases where the student's grade grievance has been upheld, then the P&B members of the Ad Hoc
Committee (in consultation with the other members of the Ad Hoc Committee) will decide what grade to award the student, using the grieved
faculty member's grading policy for that specific class, if at all possible.
The Ad Hoc Committee's decision will be binding.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 29
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
Civil Rights Violations
It is not the function of the Ad Hoc Committee to evaluate claims of civil rights violations. If the basis of a student's grade grievance is that their
civil rights have been violated, the Ad Hoc Committee will not hear the grade grievance until the appropriate officials at NCC have investigated
the student's allegation(s) and a finding has been offered through the College's official civil rights policy.
Deadlines
For a grade received during the Fall semester or Winter Intersession, the student must file the grievance (Step 1) before the end of the fifth week
of the following Spring semester. For a grade received during the Spring semester or Summer sessions, the student must file the grievance before
the end of the fifth week of the following Fall semester. Grade grievance forms may be obtained in the Office of Academic Affairs, 361 Rice
Circle, or at the various academic department main offices and by downloading the form at the link below. The grieved instructor and/or chair
must hold the appropriate discussion or hearing within two (2) weeks after his/her receipt of such a grievance or the grievant is permitted to
proceed to the next step in the policy. Failure by students to appeal a decision to the next step of the process within one (1) week of their receipt
of the grade grievance shall terminate the grievance.

Instructor Absence
The Academic Standing Committee has established procedures for the conduct of a grade grievance in situations where the grieved instructor of
record is unavailable or unreachable. Students are advised to consult the department chairperson for appropriate procedures in the event of such a
circumstance.

Grade Point Average
In compiling a student’s grade point average, the following factors must also be taken into consideration:
1. When transfer credit is awarded, the transfer grade is not computed in the grade point average.
2. If a student officially changes his/her program of study, 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 in the grade point
average. If a student has attempted fewer than 40 credits at Nassau Community College, certain courses required in the former area and
not required in the new area will not be calculated in the student’s average or included as credit toward the student’s degree.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 30
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
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 UW but not including “W”, "WU", “INC”, "S", "U", "UU" or “NA”) will be included in the grade point average.
4. If a student’s attendance is unable to be documented, they are considered not officially enrolled in the course. Non-Attendance reduces
the student’s enrolled credits but does not relieve the student of their financial obligation. Students reported as never attending will
receive a grade of NA. Changes in enrollment status may reduce or cancel a student’s financial aid award, leaving them responsible for
outstanding balances. Withdrawals are not permitted for courses that have never been attended. In instances where a student attends a
class without official enrollment, no final grade will be issued for that class. Students are not permitted to register for classes after the
semester’s refund period, as their enrollment has been reported to National Student Clearinghouse (NSCH).
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 final grade must be submitted by the instructor by
the end of the following 15-week semester or the INC grade will automatically be changed to an “F.” In extenuating circumstances, the instructor
may petition the Vice President for Academic Affairs to extend the time for making up the Incomplete “INC” grade.
Note to financial aid recipients: An incomplete grade will count as an unsuccessful attempted course in the quantitative component calculation
of federal aid eligibility.
Withdrawal Grades
Officially withdrawing from a course requires faculty approval. The policy is enforced as follows:
• During fall and spring terms, beginning the fourth week and up to the end of the ninth week of classes, the instructor’s approval is
required. The approval indicates that the student has met with the instructor and discussed the withdrawal. The instructor may not refuse
approval. If the instructor is unavailable, the department chairperson may approve the withdrawal. After the ninth week of classes, the
approval is at the discretion of the instructor.
• During the Summer and Mini-Sessions, time allowed for withdrawal varies as per refund rules for the sessions. Faculty approval is still
required. See the Student Tuition Liability/Refund Policy.
• Approved requests will be awarded a grade of W (withdrawal) on the transcript. Students can request Class Withdrawals in their MyNCC
portal account. W grades are not calculated in the grade point average, but can impact academic standing as described in the Academic
Standing section of the catalog. Students who wish to withdraw from nine or more credits will require approval by the Student Personnel
Services Office.
• In case of extenuating circumstance, such as a medical or personal emergency, a student should apply to the Office of the Dean of
Students to request that the W grade not affect academic standing. That application should be made at the time of the withdrawal from the
course(s). See the Dean of Students medical/personal withdrawal page for more details.
Prior to withdrawing from a course(s), students should consult with an advisor or a Student Personnel Services counselor and consider the impact
of the W grades on their financial aid and health insurance eligibility.
Unofficial Withdrawal
When a student stops attending a course before the 60.01% day of the semester, it is considered an unofficial withdrawal. If this course utilizes
a Learning Management System (i.e. Brightspace), access will be deactivated. Students reported as stopped attending by their instructor will
receive a WU grade.
Note to financial aid recipients: An W or WU grade will be considered an unsuccessful attempted course in the quantitative component
calculation of federal aid eligibility.
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.
Changes of Incomplete (“INC”) grades must be processed by the end of the next regular semester. All changes of grades (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 grade are initiated by the instructor 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), (an Incomplete must be completed by the end
of the next regular semester or it will change to an “F”).
3. Reassessment of student performance (subjective evaluation) subsequent to grade issuance.
4. If a student’s attendance is unable to be documented, they are considered not officially enrolled in the course. Non-Attendance reduces
the student’s enrolled credits but does not relieve the student of their financial obligation. Students reported as never attending will
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 31
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
receive a grade of NA. Changes in enrollment status may reduce or cancel a student’s financial aid award, leaving them responsible for
outstanding balances. Withdrawals are not permitted for courses that have never been attended.
In instances where a student attends a class without official enrollment, no final grade will be issued for that class. Students are
not permitted to register for classes after the semester’s refund period, as their enrollment has been reported to National Student
Clearinghouse (NSCH).
Graduation Procedures
Graduation With Honors
College-wide Latin Honors are conferred at graduation. A student will be graduated:
• 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 their 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 remedial 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 NCC should be aware of this trend. Often, students use 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. 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 must also contain the minimum of 33 credits "in residence."
Finally, each candidate seeking a second degree must obtain the prior written recommendation of the second degree chair- person (or program
director) and prior approval of the Office of Academic Affairs 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 in which 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.)

circumstances, normally with the knowledge or consent of the student
Alert for Student Success
Success in college means balancing work and study time effectively. College study does not end with class time. For each 1 hour of class, you
will need to plan at least 2 hours for study/learning. Research shows that working 15 or more hours per week makes it difficult to successfully
complete courses.
When planning your schedule, carefully consider how you will balance course load and work schedule. To obtain help with budgeting time
effectively, visit or call the Educational Counseling Office in Room 19, Nassau Hall. Call 516.572.7141 for an appointment.
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:
Attend all class sessions and to be punctual. (You are responsible for all work covered whenever you are absent.);Read, understand and follow
instructions given in the course syllabus; Complete reading and writing assignments; take notes during class; when asked to do so, work
collaboratively with other students; submit assignments on time; complete your work without cheating or committing plagiarism. Participate
actively in class; evaluate your own progress continuously; meet with your instructor during assigned office hours; exhibit proper behavior in the
classroom (see policy statement on classroom management).

1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access.
• A student should submit a written request to the Office of the Registrar that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. A
College official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If
the particular records are not maintained by the Office of the Registrar, the College official responding to the request shall advise the
student of the correct Department and individual within the College to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in
violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA.
• A student who wishes to ask the College to amend a record should write to the College official responsible for the record, clearly
identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.
• If the College decides not to amend the record as requested, the College will notify the student in writing of the decision and of the
student's right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be
provided to the student when the student is notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before the College discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records,
except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent, as described below. Nassau Community College will not disclose
information from a student's education record without the student's written consent, except in the following situations:

be given to either parent, unless the College has been provided with evidence that there is a court order, or other legally binding
document relating to such matters as divorce, separation or custody that specifically revokes those rights.)
• Disclosure is to appropriate parties in the event of a health or safety emergency.
• Disclosure of information the College has designated as "Directory information", as more particularly described below.
• Disclosure is to a victim of a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense, when such disclosure is of the final results of any
disciplinary proceedings conducted by the College against the alleged perpetrator of such crime or offense.
• Disclosure to the general public of the final results of a disciplinary proceeding, if the College determines that the student is an
alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or non-forcible sex offense and the student has committed a violation of the College's Code
of Conduct with respect to the allegation made against him or her.
• Disclosure is to the student's parent about the student's violation of any Federal, State or local law, or any policy of the College which
governs the use and possession of drugs or alcohol, but only if the student is under 21 years of age.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the
requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202
Additional information about the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may be obtained on the United States Department of Education
website: http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html
DIRECTORY INFORMATION
FERPA requires that the College, with the exceptions outlined above, obtain a student's written consent prior to disclosing to a third party
any personally identifiable information about that student. However, the College may disclose information designated as "directory
information" without prior written consent of the student. Directory information is generally considered information that is not harmful or an
invasion of privacy if released.
Nassau Community College has designated the following items as directory information:
• a student's name,
• student's ID number ("N Number")
• student’s college email address
• mailing address,
• major field of study,
• enrollment status (full-time/part-time),
• dates of attendance,
• degrees being pursued
• participation in College sports and/or activities,
• photographs,
• weight and height of members of athletic teams, and
• degrees, honors and awards received.
The main purpose of designating the above information as "directory" is to permit the College to include this information in certain publications,
such as: listing your name on the graduation program, submitting your awards and accomplishments for publication in a local newspaper, or
printing your name in a playbill should you participate in a theater production on campus. The College does not release any directory information
to commercial entities seeking to conduct solicitations or fund-raising activities.
Nassau Community College honors its duty to protect the confidentiality of student records. However, the College may disclose a student's
"directory information" without obtaining student's written consent, unless the student has submitted a written "opt out" request, to the Office of
the Registrar not to release any directory information pertaining to them. The opt-out form will be available in the Office of the Registrar and may
be filled out any time. Please note that submitting an "opt-out" request will not prevent the College from requiring students to display or disclose
their ID card with their N number printed on it when engaging in College-related activities and transactions.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 35
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF OPTING OUT: Students who choose to restrict access to their Directory Information should be aware
that doing so may result in unintended negative consequences. For example, organizations such as potential employers, scholarship agencies,
members of the press, loan agencies, educational organizations and others will not be given access to the student's directory information, and will
not be able to contact the student. Opting out of directory information classification may mean that you will miss out on valuable employment,
educational, cultural and other opportunities.
Student Policy for a Drug-Free Campus
1. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Nassau Community College is committed to a proactive preventative approach in assuring the campus is free of alcohol and substance abuse. The
College operates in compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (41 U.S.C. 81) and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of
1989. To maintain an atmosphere conducive to fulfilling this mission, the College’s policy for a drug-free campus is as follows:
The College expressly prohibits the unlawful use, possession, manufacture, distribution, or dispensation of controlled substances, which includes
alcohol, in all Nassau Community College facilities or while attending or conducting College business off campus.
No alcohol is permitted on campus without express permission of the President or his designee. Consumption of alcohol is not permitted on
campus by anyone under the age of 21. Compliance with the provisions of the College's drug and alcohol policies is a condition of attendance at
the College. The College’s drug and alcohol policies also apply to all student-sponsored social activities.
Violations of any rule of the Student Code of Conduct shall result in appropriate disciplinary action. Drug and Alcohol-related infractions of the
Code of Conduct include the following:
• Being present on campus or at any College function, whether on or off campus, under the influence of alcoholic beverages, narcotics or
drugs;
• unauthorized possession, use, and/or sale, or intent to possess, use, or sell alcoholic beverages, narcotics, drugs or drug paraphernalia,
while on campus, or at any College function, whether on or off campus.
2. DISCIPLINARY SANCTIONS.
The College considers the illegal possession and/or use of drugs and alcohol to be extremely serious in nature. Such violations may constitute
cause for immediate suspension and/or ejection from the campus. Disciplinary sanctions under the Code of Conduct for drug and alcohol-
related offenses include:
• social probation,
• temporary suspension during the investigation period,
• suspension for a specific period of time,
• permanent expulsion,
• permanent transcript notation if the drug or alcohol offense includes intentional behavior which could lead to death or serious injury of
another person,
• a “persona non-grata” designation prohibiting the student’s presence on campus entirely.
• a “record hold,” which would prohibit the student from making any academic, financial, or social transactions without prior approval of
the Office of the Dean of Students.
• Other sanctions, including but not limited to community service, referral to counseling, mentoring, mandated enrollment in a course
focused on drug and alcohol consumption, or any other sanction deemed appropriate under the circumstances by the Dean of Students
and/or the Student Code of Conduct Committee.
In addition, if you are receiving any financial aid under Title IV, HEA* program funds during your enrollment at Nassau Community
College, and you are convicted under any federal or state law for possession or sale of illegal drugs, you will lose eligibility for any Title
IV, HEA grant, loan, or work-study assistance. (HEA Sec. 484(r)(1)); (20 U.S.C. 1091 (r)(1)). The period of ineligibility will be as follows:
If convicted of an offense involving the possession of a controlled substance:
Offense Number: Ineligibility period is:
First offense 1 year
Second offense 2 years
Third offense Indefinite
If convicted of an offense involving the sale of a controlled substance:
Offense Number: Ineligibility period is:
First offense 2 years
Second offense Indefinite
*The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008, and reauthorizes the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Title IV of the HEA provides for administration of Federal student financial aid programs.

3. HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS AND THE ABUSE OF ALCOHOL
Nassau Community College is committed to supporting an environment which fosters academic success and continual learning as well as the
health and well-being of the members of its community. The use and/or abuse of illegal drugs and alcohol carry possible health risks to the
individual user as well as the campus community and community at large. Health-related and other risks associated with drug and alcohol use
may include:
• damage to major organs such as the brain, heart, lungs and liver;
• medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, cancer, heart attack, or stroke.
• unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, unwanted sexual activity, poor academic performance or failure;
• The use of alcohol during pregnancy may cause injury to the fetus or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
• Users of needles for the use of drugs such as heroin or crack carry the risk of spreading HIV and Hepatitis from the sharing of those
needles.
• Additional health risks exist for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including those prescribed by a medical provider, and
may result in driving-related injuries and even fatalities.
• physical and mental dependence or addiction. Addiction is a primary, progressive, chronic and potentially fatal disease. Common signs
and symptoms of addiction may include:
• Drinking or using substances for the relief of withdrawal symptoms
• Increased tolerance or reverse tolerance (drug sensitization)

• Health Effects of Marijuana Consumption
• Health Risks of MDMA (Molly/Ecstasy)
• Health Risks of Prescription Opioids
4. LEGAL SANCTIONS FOR UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OR DISTRIBUTION OF ILLICIT DRUGS OR ALCOHOL
Unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs or alcohol violate College policy, as well as local, New York State and Federal laws.
Violation of drug and alcohol-related laws will subject individuals not only to sanctions under the College’s Student Code of Conduct, but also to
criminal sanctions.
Note on Marijuana: On March 31, 2021, New York State legalized recreational marijuana use by adults 21 and older. However, smoking
or vaping cannabis in New York remains prohibited in any place where smoking is prohibited, and is specifically prohibited at colleges and
universities. As such, the Nassau Community College policy remains unchanged: the College prohibits the possession, use, consumption,
transfer, manufacturing, sale or distribution of marijuana. Despite the State’s legalization of marijuana use, the federal government regards
marijuana as a Schedule I Controlled Substance (see table in Appendix A), and possession of marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
Under the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, institutions of higher education must have a program in place to prevent unlawful
possession, use and distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on campus, as part of a college’s activities and programs,
and as a condition of receiving federal funds. Marijuana is still designated as an illicit drug under federal law, and is not permitted on the College
campus.
Appendices A, B and C include a detailed summary of violations of Federal and New York State drug and alcohol laws, along with related
penalties and sentencing guidelines. The following information is covered:
1. Federal penalties for trafficking of Schedule I, II, II, IV, and V substances, such as cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, LSD, and methamphetamine.
(See Appendix A).
2. Summary of federal marijuana laws and related penalties. (See Appendix A).
3. Summary of New York State’s Alcohol and Beverage Control Law, Article 5 (“ABC Law”), focusing on procuring alcohol for those who
are under 21 years of age. (See Appendix B).
4. Summary of New York State’s Vehicle and Traffic Law, Article 31, focusing on operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of
drugs and/or alcohol. (See Appendix B).
5. Summary of New York State’s Penal Law, Article 220, focusing on criminal possession of controlled substances, excluding marijuana.
(See Appendix C).
6. Summary of New York State’s Penal Law, Article 222, Cannabis. (See Appendix C).

SUNY Admission Policy
Nassau Community College Policy for the Admission of Persons with Disciplinary Dismissals
Nassau Community College is committed to providing an opportunity for all qualified applicants to receive a quality education. Applicants
who have been dismissed from another academic institution for disciplinary reasons may be accepted to study at Nassau Community College,
providing the applicant is able to successfully satisfy the evaluation process. Applications will be reviewed by the College Admissions Review
Committee. The Committee will request that the applicant provide the specifics of the disciplinary dismissal, such as background, charges filed,
and date(s) of occurrence. Appropriate releases may have to be executed by the applicant for receipt of educational disciplinary records. The
Committee may also require a personal interview to clarify or verify the information received.
Upon reviewing the information, the Committee will determine whether the student may be admitted to the College, whether certain conditions
of admissibility will be imposed (i.e., major selection, course scheduling, involvement in activities), or whether admission will be denied. NCC
reserves the right to deny an applicant’s request for admission to the College or to a selected program at the College if the applicant’s disciplinary
record would prevent the applicant from successfully completing or obtaining a required license and/or certification associated with the program,
or would involve an unreasonable risk to persons or property, or to the welfare of the campus community.
Failure to disclose any disciplinary dismissals, falsification of data, or intentional misrepresentation within any area of the application process,
may result in denial of admission, disciplinary action, or the immediate dismissal of any student found to be culpable.
Procedures for the Admission of Persons with any Disciplinary Dismissals
1. Complete the appropriate admissions application. Include copies of all required academic information needed for the type of admission
being sought.
2. Complete a Request for the Admissions Review Committee form (available in the Office of Admissions) and submit completed form to the
Office of Admission at least 30 days prior to the start of the semester. All areas of the form must be completed. These include:
a. Date(s) and location(s) of offense(s)
b. Summary of disciplinary actions, including any special provisions
3. The Admissions Review Committee will convene to review all materials pertaining to the applicant’s admission. The Committee will
have access to and will consider all available information specified above, including the applicant’s past academic record(s). All pertinent
information will be reviewed.
a. The Admissions Review Committee will consist of the following individuals:
i. The Dean of Admissions or his/her designee, who will chair and convene the committee,
ii. The Director of Public Safety or his/her designee, and
iii. The Dean of Students or his/her designee
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 38
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
4. The Admissions Review Committee submits its recommendation for review to the Vice President of Academic Student Services, or his/
her designee. If the VP or designee concurs with recommendation, the student is notified of the decision. If the VP or designee requires
additional documentation or review, he/she may return the application to the Admissions Review Committee for follow up.
5. Applicants who have been dismissed due to a disciplinary action, who meet the NCC admission qualifications, may be accepted with
certain conditions that will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
6. If the review process finds that applicant’s admission to NCC would involve unreasonable risk to property, or the safety or welfare of the
campus community, the applicant will be informed that admission has been denied.
Administration of Naloxone (Narcan)
1. Rates of death from drug intoxication or a drug overdose have risen dramatically in the United States. Opioid overdose kills thousands of
Americans every year. College students are a high-risk population for drug misuse and combination drug use. Opioids are present in the
majority of drug overdoses. Opioids cause death by inducing fatal respiratory depression which can easily be reversed by administering
an opioid such as naloxone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist (blocker) which rapidly counteracts the effects of opioids and has saved
countless lives. Naloxone is not a controlled substance.
2. The utilization and administration of naloxone by trained College employees has a goal of reducing campus fatalities from opioid-related
overdoses and exposures.
3. Overdose response training is required for College employees who may be called upon to serve as overdose responders in order to ensure
that they can identify common symptoms of an opioid overdose and administer Narcan nasal spray. Narcan will be administered by a
trained NCC Public Safety Officer or by NCC Nursing staff when there is reasonable belief that a person is suffering from an opioid
overdose.
4. The College shall develop procedures for administration of Narcan, which will be updated as needed in order to ensure that all current
guidelines and health and safety practices are adhered to.
Admissions Information
Students interested in attending Nassau Community College should consult the College website for up-to-date information and program
requirements.
DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENTS
New Students
Students who wish to earn a degree or certificate at NCC should apply for matriculated status by completing the College's Degree-Seeking
Application for Admission (found at www.ncc.edu/apply) and providing all required documentation by the admissions completion deadline. An
application fee will be charged once; if you have applied to NCC in the past and have paid an application fee, you will not be charged again.
Acceptance as a matriculated student in a particular program indicates that the student has met all admissions requirements to be a degree or
certificate candidate in that program. Most of the time, matriculated students attend on a full-time basis (12-17 credits per semester), although
students should decide for themselves the academic load they are able to carry. It is important to note that matriculated status is required in order
to receive certain kinds of financial assistance.
All degree or certificate candidates must possess a state-endorsed high school diploma or a high school equivalency certificate (HSE). There are
limited options for non-high school graduates; refer to the section entitled Enrollment Options for Non-High School Graduates. Local school
diplomas, such CDOS. 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 mandated by the State Education Department of New York.
All students who have graduated from an approved high school or received a high school equivalency (HSE) document will be offered acceptance
to an appropriate program of study. However, some programs have more extensive requirements for admission. The applicant’s high school
record and, in the case of transfer students, college record(s), are the most important factors for admission to selective programs such as Nursing
and the Allied Health Sciences. The results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and American College Test (ACT) are not required, but along
with New York State Regents English and Algebra 1 math scores may also be used to waive the applicant from one or more parts of the College’s
placement tests. Consequently, students are encouraged to submit test scores as part of the application process.
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 prerequisites for admission to selective programs.
Information on criteria for admission to all areas of study is found in the Programs Requirements Chart, which can be viewed on the same
College web page as the application for admission and is included with the paper application for admission.
Because of the limited number of seats available in classrooms and laboratories, the College reserves the right to limit matriculation into specific
programs of study.
Applicants with international credentials and international applicants who require a Student (F-1) Visa must submit additional application
materials and must review our latest requirements online.
Students are encouraged to complete NCC’s online application for admission (www.ncc.edu/apply). For questions regarding the application
process, contact the Office of Admissions, Nassau Community College, One Education Drive, Garden City, NY 11530-6793, or by calling
516.572.7345, or via email at [email protected].

JOINT ADMISSIONS WITH FOUR-YEAR COLLEGES
Applicants who plan to continue their education at a four-year college after graduation may be better prepared for acceptance by taking advantage
of Nassau's joint admissions options. Joint admissions agreements currently exist with SUNY-Stony Brook, SUNY-Old Westbury, SUNY-
Albany, SUNY - Farmingdale, Hofstra University, Adelphi University, NYIT, L.I.U. Post, St. John's University and St Joseph’s University.
Students can apply for joint admissions at the same time that they apply for admission to NCC. Joint admissions applicants are usually contacted
by the senior institution. Acceptance to the senior institution is conditional upon receipt of the Nassau Community College transcript and may
require a particular grade point average and/or additional course work to satisfy the senior college’s entrance and/or graduation requirements.
Students are strongly encouraged to contact the senior college of their choice for further information on the joint admissions opportunities.
Transfer Students
For admission with advanced standing from a regionally accredited college(s), students must submit an official copy of their high school
credentials and official college records from EACH college previously attended to the Office of Admissions. All official academic records
should be emailed by the schools previously attended to: [email protected]. In those cases where transcripts cannot be emailed, they may sent
through the mail to: Office of Admissions, Nassau Community College, One Education Drive, Garden City, NY 11530-6793. It is the student's
responsibility to make sure that the College receives all official transcripts by appropriate admission completion deadline dates.
Transfer Policy and Procedure
The Office of Admissions will provide an evaluation of transfer credit for degree-seeking students when an official college transcript(s) is
submitted as part of the required admissions process, once your application is complete.
Note: official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended, transcripts for college- level courses taken during high school, official Advanced
Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and CLEP scores, as well as any other college-level examination for which transfer credit is
expected, must be submitted individually.
Late submission of transcripts can affect your transfer credit evaluation and your schedule for the term, as well as financial aid eligibility.
Transcripts from colleges/universities not disclosed during the admissions application process can jeopardize your admissions decision, as well
as your degree program acceptance. Once a student is in attendance, the Office of the Registrar oversees the maintenance of all academic records
and will assist in the evaluation of transfer credits or re-evaluation, as required.
Transferring Credits
Only equivalent courses with a grade of “C-” or higher will be accepted from other regionally accredited postsecondary institutions, except in
programs that require a higher course grade. Credits from institutions other than regionally accredited schools will be reviewed and may be
evaluated for transfer credit on a case-by-case basis. Official transcripts received by email or official transcripts in sealed envelopes are required
for evaluation. Students must complete a minimum of 33 credits in residence at NCC within a degree program, or 15 credits within a certificate
program (certain academic departments at NCC may limit the number of credits transferred into their academic program). Transfer courses above
the 31 credits will be initially excluded. Courses completed on a trimester or quarterly basis will be converted to semester hour credits. It is
recommended that students request a re-evaluation of their transfer credits. if they change their program of study while in attendance. Students
must submit a Change of Program request form in order to update their major.
Opportunities are available to students through a policy of credit allowance for "life experience" and "credit by examination." Placement into
courses or credit may be granted as approved by the College based on one or more of the following 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.
Advanced Placement tests (AP);
5.
International Baccalaureate (IB) exams;
6.

Criminal Justice/Fire Science, Health/Physical Education/Recreation, Hospitality Business, Marketing/Fashion Buying & Merchandising/
Interior Design/Retailing, Mathematics/Computer Science/Information Technology/Engineering/Pysics/Physical Sciences, Music,
Nursing, Psychology/Sociology/Economics, and Theatre/Dance. Students interested in advanced standing and/or "life experience" credit
should contact the appropriate department;
7.
Non-traditional training or online programs based on the American Council on Education’s recommendations.
If you do not agree with your transfer credit evaluation, please contact the Office of Admissions before the start of classes or if classes have
started, contact the Office of the Registrar. All requests must be made prior to the conclusion of the NCC Add/Drop period of the semester for
which you were admitted.
Note: Transfer credit from previous institutions will not compute in the grade point average at Nassau Community College. Students must submit
official high school and college records to the Office of Admissions. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that the College receives all
official transcripts by appropriate admission deadline dates.

2. recommendation of a counselor or principal, including a list of specific courses that the student must complete at the College to qualify
for a high school diploma (if applicable);
3. a transcript of high school courses completed and in progress;
4. all available standardized test results;
5. additional items may be requested.
High School Enrichment
The College allows some high school juniors and seniors to enroll in college courses (maximum of three courses per semester) during the regular
academic year, while continuing to attend high school. Students applying for this enrichment option are expected to meet the following minimum
requirements:
1. completion of the sophomore year (10th grade) of high school;
2. evidence of sufficient emotional maturity to cope with and benefit from an early college experience as evidenced in an interview with an
admissions counselor;
3. acceptable general academic achievement in high school;
4. permission of high school counselor, assistant principal or principal. This approval serves as endorsement that the student meets course(s)
pre-requisite(s) and hence he/she will be waived from taking the NCC placement exam(s).
Honors Connection
High school juniors and seniors who elect the High School Enrichment Option and who have consistently excelled in high school can take
a class in the Honors sequence at the College. To qualify students must have at least a 90 GPA and mastery level achievement on multiple
Regents Examinations. Interested students should contact the Honors Program coordinator for additional information regarding application at
The High School Equivalency (HSE)
Nassau Community College's Office of Admissions will consider applications from students who do not have high school diplomas and who want
to earn high school equivalency diploma (HSE) through the completion of college credits. These applicants normally should meet the following
minimum criteria:
• Be at least 17 years of age and your high school class must have already graduated
• Currently be a resident of New York State for at least one month
Students applying in this status must meet with a counselor from the Office of Admissions, complete the regular admissions application, supply
official high school credentials, and take the basic skills placement test. Applicants who do not meet all of these criteria may present unique
circumstances to request special consideration for admission.
The State University 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 (HSE) 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." The twenty-four credits must be distributed as follows: six [6] credits in English language arts,
including writing, speaking and reading (literature); three [3] credits in mathematics; three [3] credits in natural science; three [3] credits in
social science; three [3] credits in humanities; and six [6] credits that fulfill college degree requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to
consult with academic advisors 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 wishes to obtain. Non-credit lifelong learning (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 go to the Office of the Registrar to obtain
an application for the equivalency diploma, which they must file with the New York State Education Department. Students admitted under this
program cannot be granted a degree or certificate without the equivalency diploma granted by the state.
Applicants to the College without a high school diploma begin in non-degree status based on their lack of a high school credential. Students who
do not qualify for degree-seeking status may, nonetheless, follow a degree or certificate program as non-degree students in anticipation of their
subsequently completing the HSE. Once students have received the HSE, they may apply for degree-seeking status. While in non-degree status,
students are not eligible for financial aid.
Students Schooled at Home
Students schooled at home are encouraged to work with their school district office to obtain a letter signed by the school superintendent which
verifies that they have completed the “substantial equivalent of a four-year high school program.”
While Nassau Community College recognizes home schooling as a legitimate educational option, students schooled at home who are unable
to present a superintendent’s letter are considered to be without a high school diploma. As such , they are expected to meet the same admission
requirements listed for the high school equivalency.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 42
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
Home-schooled applicants may be eligible for the Early Admissions option described above. It is recommended that students keep a detailed
“unofficial transcript” of courses completed with specific information such as reading lists and/or syllabi for each course. 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 evaluation of students’ readiness for particular programs of study. Submission of SAT and/
or ACT scores, and scores for other standardized tests is highly recommended.
Students with special circumstances may speak to a representative in the Office of Admissions
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 at a
SUNY institution, if they meet academic qualifications at 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 developed many articulation
agreements with 4-year institutions, both public and private, to guarantee acceptance for Nassau Community College graduates who successfully
complete certain criteria while in attendance at NCC. Students are urged to take advantage of these guaranteed programs.
Contact the NCC academic department involved or the Transfer Office in Nassau Hall during the first semester of attendance to follow the correct
course of study. Many of these offerings are described in the Programs of Study section of this catalog.
MMR & Meningitis Immunizations
MMR 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 the
semester will be disenrolled from all classes.
It Is Necessary For Students To Submit Proof Of Immunizations During The Registration Period In Order To Comply With The New
York State Public Health Law (2165).
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 the next semester until all immunization requirements have been completed. Students are not entitled to any
refund of tuition and fees for the semester from which they have been disenrolled.
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
Student 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.
MENINGITIS REQUIREMENT
New York State law requires colleges to distribute information about meningococcal disease and vaccination to all students enrolled for at least
six (6) semester hours or the equivalent per semester.
Colleges in New York State are required to maintain a record of the following for each student:
A response to receipt of meningococcal disease and vaccine information signed by the student or student's parent or guardian. This must include
information on the availability and cost of meningococcal meningitis vaccine;
AND EITHER
Record of meningococcal meningitis immunization within the past 5 years;
OR
An acknowledgment of meningococcal disease risks and refusal of meningococcal meningitis immunization signed by the student or student's
parent or guardian.
New York State law states that no institution shall permit any student to attend the institution in excess of 30 days from the start of the semester
without complying with this law. The 30-day period may be extended to 60 days if a student can show good faith effort to comply.

Residency Requirements
Residency Requirements for Tuition Purposes
To be eligible for the resident tuition rate, a student must have one year's legal residency in New York State and six months in the County of
Nassau immediately preceding the time of registration for any period of attendance. The legal residency of unmarried students under 21 is
deemed to be that of their parents.
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, temporarily relocated to C-Cluster, 1st floor 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. Certificates of Residence must be renewed each year. Individuals on student visas cannot qualify for a Certificate
of Residence. Questions about residency status should be directed to the Office of Student Financial Affairs, Tower 5th floor or by telephone at
516.572.7326.
Tuition, Fees and Expenses
Students who register for 12 or more credits or their equivalent during the fall and spring semesters are considered full-time students and pay full-
time tuition and fees. During the summer semester the full-time rate does not apply; charges are based on credits or their equivalent. The tuition
and fee schedule, effective with the fall 2023 semester, is subject to change at the discretion of the College. Registration is complete only upon
full payment of tuition and fees.

Financial Aid
Financial Aid is money that is supplied by monetary source outside the family to help pay for the cost of the student's education. It encompasses
a variety of programs funded by colleges, private organizations and state and federal government. Financial aid is any grant, scholarship, loan or
work-study program offered to help a student meet his or her educational expenses.
The Financial Aid Office at Nassau Community College is dedicated to assisting students and their families with options on how to finance their
education.
Federal Student Aid
The first step to financing your education is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at studentaid.gov. The information is
confidential and only sent to the colleges you list on the FAFSA. Nassau's school code is 002873. Filing the FAFSA electronically is faster and
less error-prone.
A student and a parent must create a FSA ID to serve as an electronic signature and to log into certain U.S. Department of Education websites.
The FSA ID will be comprised of a user-selected username and password. Visit studentaid.gov to create your user name and password.
When filling out the FAFSA, NCC strongly recommends all students and parents (if applicable) to upload the income tax information to their
FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval tool.
• After you complete the FAFSA, you will be emailed a student aid report (SAR) from the Department of Education notifying you of your
EFC (expected family contribution) and that your application was processed or if corrections are necessary.
• The college receives the results of your FAFSA and provides a financial aid award package for you. All students will be sent an email
notification to view their award package by logging into the MyNCC Portal.
You may be asked to submit additional documentation to confirm the information reported on the FASFA and complete the process. To submit
the additional documentation, follow these steps:
1. Log into your MyNCC Portal.
2. In the MyFinancialAid folder click on the VerifyMyFAFSA link.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 53
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
3. if this is your first time you will be asked to create an account
Important: when confirming student information, the student’s name, date of birth and SSN you enter must match the information on
your FAFSA exactly.
4. You will then be brought directly to the list of items the Financial Aid Office needs you to complete.
These requested documents can only be submitted through this electronic method. Printed forms will no longer be accepted at the Financial Aid
Office.
A student must complete the process by the published date in the Federal Register, 34CFR668.60(c), or 120 days after the last day of the student’s
enrollment, whichever is earlier. If the student does not provide the necessary documents within this time, the federal aid award is forfeited.
A FAFSA must be filed in order to be considered for any type of federal aid, including loans. The information collected on the FAFSA is used to
determine financial need. Financial need is defined as the cost of attendance minus the expected family contribution (EFC).
Cost of Attendance
Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated and reasonable cost of completing a full year (9 months) of higher education. COA is not your actual
charges, but rather an estimate of all possible expenses you may incur.
Estimated full-time educational costs for the 2023-2024 academic year at Nassau Community College:
Dependent Student - Resident
• Tuition: $5,800
• Fees: $530
• Books and Supplies: $2,100
• Transportation: $2,632
• Personal/Miscellaneous: $2,600
• Housing & Meal: $6,750
• Total: $20,412
Independent Student - Resident

• Books and Supplies: $2,100
• Transportation: $1,680
• Personal/Miscellaneous: $2,600
• Housing & Meal: $17,250
• Total: $30,912
General Eligibility Requirements
The FAFSA needs to be completed annually to determine your eligibility for the upcoming academic year. At NCC the fall semester (September -
December) begins a new academic year and includes the spring semester (January – May) and summer session (June – August).
In general, to be eligible for Federal Student Aid a student must:
• be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
• be matriculated in an eligible program of study
• be making satisfactory academic progress in his or her program of study
• not be in default of any Federal loan or have received an overpayment on a Federal grant
• not have borrowed in excess of the annual or aggregate loan limit
• have a valid Social Security number
• not have been convicted of certain drug-related offenses under Federal or State law
• submit official High School transcript or prior college transcript and proof of high school graduation
Students cannot be funded with financial aid for courses that do not count toward their degree requirements. The only exception is for remedial
courses that are part of the student's regular program. It is important for students to log in to MyNCC and view their degree evaluation regularly.
Certain awards are based on the availability of funding. By filing a FAFSA early you may be considered for campus based aid which includes
Federal SEOG, Work-study, and Nursing Loan. All students who wish to be considered for financial aid should file their FAFSA by May 30th.
The College cannot process a student's FAFSA until all requested documentation has been submitted. FAFSAs received after the student ceases to
attend cannot be processed for that academic year.
Federal funds are sent directly to the College and applied to the student account. Any excess funding is then reimbursed to the student for
education-related expenses after attendance has been confirmed.
Refund Policy for Federal Financial Aid Recipients
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 54
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
If a student totally withdraws from the College for a particular semester, the student may be entitled to receive funding based on the percentage of
the payment period (semester) that the student completed.
If a student completes more than 60.01% of the period, he or she earned 100% of the aid for that period of enrollment.
If the student completes 60% or less of the period of enrollment the percentage of the period completed is the percentage of aid earned and
eligible to receive. Any aid that is unearned as a result of totally withdrawing from the College at the 60% or less point of the semester must be
returned to the Department of Education.
Federal Grant Programs
Federal Grant Programs
Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant is an undergraduate student award which does not have to be paid back. Students that demonstrate high financial need
according to the federal formula and enroll in at least one degree-bearing course are eligible to receive funds from this federal program. The
maximum annual Pell Grant award is established by Congress each year.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
These grants are for students that demonstrate exceptional financial need. Priority is given to Federal Pell Grant recipients. Funds provided by the
government for this program are limited. Individual SEOG awards may vary.
Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant
If you are not eligible for a Pell Grant but your parent or legal guardian was a member of the U.S. Armed Forces and died as a result of service
performed in Iraq or Afghanistan after September, 2001, you may be eligible for this grant. To receive this grant you must be under the age of 24
and enrolled in college at least part time at the time of your parent's or guardian's death. The amount of the grant will be equal to the maximum
Pell Grant for the award year, although the amount will not exceed the cost of attendance for that award year.
Federal Loan Programs
Parent PLUS Loans
PLUS loans are unsubsidized loans for the parents of dependent students enrolled at least half-time at a school that participates in the Direct Loan
Program.
Applicants for this loan must be student's biological or adoptive parent. If the biological or adoptive parent has remarried at the time of
completing the FAFSA, the stepparent may apply for this loan on behalf of the student.
Parent PLUS Loan borrowers cannot have an adverse credit history (a credit check will be done). In addition, parents and their dependent child
must be U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens, must not be in default on any federal education loans or owe an overpayment on a federal education
grant, and must meet other general eligibility requirements for the Federal Student Aid programs.
Applications for this loan are available in the Financial Aid office. Once approved, the borrower (parent) must complete a PLUS loan promissory
note at studentaid.gov.
Federal Student Aid Loan Servicers
When a student receives a Federal Student Loan, they are assigned a loan servicer. The loan servicer is the organization that handles billing for
the loan(s) and can provide borrowers with information about repayment. If you, the borrower, are not sure who your loan servicer is, you can
look up this information on the National Student Loan Data System at studentaid.gov.
You will need your FSA ID. This is the same username and password you used to sign your FAFSA.
Federal Work-Study Program
Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal Work-Study program is a federally funded financial aid employment program. To be eligible a student must be matriculated and
enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits. Eligibility is based on need as determined by the FAFSA and the availability of funds. Recipients of this
program must be making satisfactory academic progress.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students receiving federal Title IV aid for their educational costs are required to maintain an acceptable cumulative GPA, while at the same time
completing a specified percentage of the credits for which they register within a certain time frame. The maximum time frame may not exceed
150% of the published length of the educational program measured in credit hours attempted.
Excessive withdrawals, incomplete or F grades can be the cause of not meeting the pursuit of progress requirement. It is important that you
successfully complete all the classes you register for. Note: Remedial coursework is not considered in the calculation that determines eligibility
for federal student aid.
Federal Title IV student aid funds include: Federal PELL, Federal SEOG, Federal Work Study, Federal Perkins Loan, and Direct Stafford Loans.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 55
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
Satisfactory Academic Progress standards for New York State TAP recipients follows a different structure than that of the federal requirements.
A review of federal aid eligibility will be completed at the end of the spring semester to determine eligibility for the new aid year. Students will
be notified via their NCC email if they did not meet the federal requirements for academic progress. A student may appeal this decision if they
can document the extenuating circumstances that caused the poor academic performance. Appeals are for unforeseen, extenuating circumstances
and are not for ongoing issues. Students with approved appeals will be given a probationary semester in which they will be granted federal aid
for one semester. At the end of the probationary semester their progress will be reviewed to determine if they are eligible for federal aid in the
next semester. If it is determined that the student is still not making academic progress, no aid will be issued for the following semester and no
additional appeal will be accepted.
Steps to appeal:
• Students MUST have a FAFSA on file for the academic year they are appealing to receive Federal aid funds.
• Log into your MyNCC Portal and select the Verify My FAFSA tile. If this is your first time logging into Student Forms, you will be
asked to create an account. Important, when confirming student information, the student’s name, date of birth and SSN you enter must
match the information on your FAFSA exactly.
• Complete the tasks: the appeal form, personal statement and upload any supporting documentation which can justify why your academic
progress suffered and how you plan to remedy it for future semesters.
• Students must also complete the online, SUNY Smart Track Financial Literacy course: College & Money, and upload it with any
supporting documents.
• Deadline to submit appeals is July 15.
• The appeal decision is based on the information you provide. Notification will be sent to your NCC email.
To continue to receive federal financial aid, students must maintain the standards of satisfactory progress.
Qualitative Component: Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
Degree Credit Hours
Attempted:
1-14 15-29 30-47 48+
Minimum Cumulative
GPA required:
1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0
Quantitative component: Pace (attempted credits vs. earned credits)
Students must earn with a passing grade, at least 67% of all cumulative attempted credit hours. For example, if a student attempted a cumulative
total of 30 degree credits, the student must have earned at least 20 of those credits toward their degree or certificate program of study.
Time Frame
Students may attempt a maximum of 150% of the published required credit hours for the Associate's Degree or Certificate program the student is
pursuing. For example, if the program of study requires 64 credits to complete, the student may attempt a maximum of 96 credits.
Grades
• Calculated in Attempted: 'A','B','B+','C','C+','D','D+', ‘F’, ‘UW’, ‘W’, 'WU', ‘GNS’, ‘INC’ & Transfer Credits (TR)
• Calculated in Earned credits: 'A','B','B+','C','C+','D','D+ & Transfer Credits (TR)
• Calculated in GPA: 'A','B','B+','C','C+','D','D+', ‘F’, ‘UW’
Remedial Courses
A maximum of 30 credits of remedial coursework will be used to determine eligibility for financial aid. After a student has attempted 30 credit
hours of remedial coursework, the student cannot receive federal financial aid for any additional remedial coursework.
Remedial coursework is not counted in Pace or GPA. However, a student with only remedial coursework will be evaluated under the qualitative
measure. If at least one remedial course is successfully completed within the academic year, the student will be determined eligible for federal
aid.
Appeals Process for Mitigating Circumstances
A student may appeal the loss of federal aid eligibility if they can document that extenuating circumstances caused the poor academic
performance. Appeals are for unforeseen, extenuating circumstances and are not for ongoing medical issues or patterns of poor performance.
Student may only submit one appeal in an academic year.
Students with approved appeals will be given a probationary semester in which they will be granted federal aid for one semester. At the end of the
probationary period, their progress is reviewed to determine if they are eligible for federal aid in the next semester.
If the student does not meet SAP or fails to meet the Academic Plan* requirements after the probationary period, the student will be ineligible for
federal financial aid until student meets SAP.
Reestablishing aid eligibility
A student regains eligibility for federal financial aid by taking action that brings the student into compliance with SAP criteria.
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 56
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
*Academic Plan Requirements
Students in a probationary semester may be considered for an Academic Plan if the following requirements are met:
1. Student successfully completes all courses in the probationary semester.
2. Probationary semester GPA is at least a 2.0.
Students placed on an Academic Plan must meet these requirements each semester until they are back in compliance with SAP standards. Failure
to do so will result in the loss of Federal Title IV aid at NCC.
How does a student obtain an Academic Plan?
The Financial Aid Office will refer the student to the Center for Educational & Retention Counseling (CERC) via email notification to the
student’s NCC email. The student should make an appointment to meet with a CERC counselor at 516.572.7141 or [email protected]. The CERC
counselor will develop an academic plan with the student and submit a copy to the Financial Aid Office on the student’s behalf.
State Aid
State Aid
Many states provide generous merit and need-based grants. Students applying for funding from New York State must be a legal resident of New

Study Abroad
NCC students that participate in an approved study abroad program may be eligible for federal financial aid. The criteria for a student to be
considered for federal aid include, but not limited to:
• The student must be enrolled as a matriculated student in a degree-granting program at NCC
• The student must be taking courses at the Host school which are transferable to the student’s degree at NCC
• The student must have a fully processed FAFSA on file with the Financial Aid Office
• The student must submit a completed and signed Financial Aid Consortium Agreement
Note: Only under certain circumstances may a student be eligible for a New York State award when studying in another country.
Rights and Responsibilities
1. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every academic year: FAFSA.gov. A student aid report (SAR) will be
emailed to you from the Department of Education notifying you of your EFC (Expected Family Contribution). This information will also
be sent to Nassau Community College if you enter our school code, 002873, on the FAFSA. The College will then determine and notify
you of your financial aid award.
2. You must be a matriculated student in an approved degree or certificate program at Nassau Community College to be eligible for
financial aid. Classes taken for audit are not eligible for financial assistance. It is the student's responsibility to inform the Office of
Financial Aid if he/she enrolls in a class for an audit grade.
3. Your financial assistance is awarded based on calculated need as determined from the information you provided on your FAFSA.
Financial aid awards are subject to adjustments or cancellations due to changes in laws, regulations, appropriations, changes in your
financial situation, verification, discovery of data errors, changes in your enrollment status, or changes in your residency status amongst
other reasons.
4. You must maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students receiving federal aid for their educational costs are required to maintain an
acceptable cumulative GPA, while at the same time completing a specified percentage of the credits for which they registered within a
certain time frame.
5. Student must file a FAFSA to be considered for Federal student loans.
• Perkins Loan-a low interest loan (5% fixed) is awarded based on financial need. Interest begins nine months after the student is no
longer enrolled for at least 6 credits.
• Federal Direct Stafford loans – A subsidized loan is a need-based loan. An unsubsidized loan is NOT based on financial need. You
are responsible for the interest that begins to accrue on this loan once it is disbursed. You must be enrolled at least half-time (six
degree-bearing credits minimum) to be eligible for the Federal Direct Loan(s) in a given semester. Repayment of these loans begins
Nassau Community College: https://collegecatalog.ncc.edu/current 60
POLICIES & PROCEDURES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
after you stop pursuing your degree or you are registered for less than 6 credits. You will then be required to complete an online, Exit
Counseling session at studentloans.gov.
6. Students who have been previously incarcerated or are currently incarcerated or who might be incarcerated during their current term of
attendance must identify themselves to the financial aid office to determine their financial aid eligibility.
7. If you receive any financial assistance from an outside source (e.g., a private scholarship or grant) you must inform the Financial Aid
office.
8. You will be responsible for repaying any funds you receive that exceed your financial need, or if for any reason, you become ineligible
for the financial aid. Changes in your actual enrollment status, such as non-attendance, course withdrawals or if you stop attending classes
without officially withdrawing (unofficial withdrawal), could reduce or cancel your award and repayment may be required. Please contact
the Office of Financial Aid prior to dropping or withdrawing from the College. It may impact your current or future aid eligibility and you
will be responsible for any balance on your student account.
9. Students should be aware that withdrawal from one or more courses may affect some, or possibly all, financial aid awards. Therefore,
it is prudent to understand the consequences of the withdrawal before formally submitting the paperwork. Financial aid awards will be
revoked upon withdrawal should the withdrawal affect the eligible enrollment status.
10. If requested, you must provide documents to verify the accuracy of information reported on the FAFSA before financial aid can be
awarded or disbursed to your student account. The requested documentation must be submitted prior to your last date of enrollment. If
not, you may lose aid eligibility and be responsible for your tuition and fee semester bill.
11. Federal Work-Study (FWS) is determined by the results of your FAFSA. Although the FWS amount is shown on your Award Letter,
FWS funds are not applied to your NCC student account. You receive a pay check every two weeks. Job placement is based on
availability.
12. Students who have completed their degree or certificate program will not be eligible for financial aid in subsequent semesters unless they
are enrolled in another degree program. Bachelor's degree: if you already have this degree, you are ineligible for Federal Pell and Federal
SEOG.
13. If you are having problems with your Direct Loan that your school cannot resolve, contact the U.S. Dept. of Education's Office of Loan
Ombudsman at 1.877.557.2575 or visit their web site.
14. If it is determined that you have provided or purposely given false or misleading information, you may be fined up to $20,000, sent to
prison, or both.
15. Repeat courses: NY State Aid–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 if a failed course is repeated
or when a student has received a passing grade at the college but is unacceptable in a particular curriculum or area of concentration.
Federal Aid–A student may receive federal aid to retake a previously passed course once.
16. For students in remediation classes: First time TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) recipients must be registered for non-remedial courses
equal to at least 6 credits to be considered for the 2006/2007 state academic progress chart. The remaining classes must be degree-bearing
so the total enrollment equals full-time status which is 12 or more credits.
17. Ability to Benefit: Students that have received their high school diploma from a foreign school must take an approved "Ability to Benefit"
test and attain a passing score prior to the end of the college's add/drop period to be considered for state aid. Contact the Placement
Testing Center at [email protected], or call 516.572.9604.
18. Aid for part-time study (APTS) grant recipients must be enrolled for 3 to 11.5 credits. Students carrying a part-time course load that
includes non-credit remedial courses must be registered for at least 3 degree-bearing credits.
19. Winter Session is considered as part of the spring semester for federal financial aid purposes. This means that if a student is registered for
three credits during winter session, and nine credits during spring, they would be considered a full-time student and their Federal financial
aid would be packaged as such. All students are responsible to pay their winterim tuition bill by the assigned due date. All winter session
and spring semester financial aid will be disbursed together as spring aid and will be disbursed in the spring semester only. Courses not
completed in the winter session will not be eligible or included in the spring disbursement. Please note: New York State aid such as TAP
and Aid for Part Time Study, is not available for winter session. Please be aware that all awards are contingent upon funding and your
remaining aid eligibility.
20. To be eligible for the Bookstore Voucher, a Financial Aid application must be accurate and in our database. In addition, any missing
documents needed to fully process your application must be error free and submitted to our office. An email will be sent to the student's
NCC email making them aware they are eligible and to accept the terms and conditions of the bookstore credit. The Campus Bookstore
will then email the student with instructions on how to obtain their books and supplies with the bookstore credit. Book voucher amounts
are determined based on the fact that the student’s Federal TIV aid exceed the semester's bill by at least $100.00.
21. Read your NCC emails, letters, postcards, announcements and other notifications that you receive from the College. Check the NCC
website for deadlines.
22. You can view your financial aid awards by logging in to you MyNCC Portal. Determine and complete required forms from your phone,
tablet or computer and upload requested documents securely from any device, 24/7 at studentforms.com.

COURSES OFFERED: Economics (ECO), Finance (FIN),
Interdisciplinary Global Studies (IGS), Sociology (SOC), Human
Services (HMS), Anthropology (ANT), Psychology (PSY)
Economics and Finance provide a bridge between the liberal arts and
business programs by offering fundamental survey courses to satisfy
the degree requirements of both social science and business students.
The department's courses provide an understanding of the origins,
characteristics, and functions of economic and financial systems. The
courses will enable students to develop critical thinking skills while
studying the structure and dynamics of the U.S. and global economies.
Economic and financial analyses are used to examine individual,
business, and public sector decision-making to ascertain how these
decisions impact society.
Liberal arts and non-business students who wish to gain an overview of
the economic and financial system in one semester should take Survey
of Economics (ECO 100) or any other general theory courses such as:
Personal Finance (ECO 110/FIN 110), Introduction to Finance (ECO
111/FIN 111), Economic Development of the United States (ECO 215),
Economics of the Developing World (ECO 216), Economic Geography
of the World(ECO 222), and History of Economic Thought (ECO 280).
Students who plan to pursue a Baccalaureate degree in Economics,
Finance, or Business should begin their studies by taking Principles of
Macroeconomics (ECO 207) and Principles of Microeconomics (ECO
208), both of which provide a foundation for more advanced study in
economics and finance. Then, after faculty advisement, students may
choose from the following: Introduction to Investments (ECO 112 /
FIN 112), Economic Statistics (ECO 212), Money and Banking (ECO
213/FIN 213), Corporate Finance (ECO 214/FIN 214), Economics
Development of the United States (ECO 215), Economics of the
Developing World (ECO 216), Economic Geography of the World
(ECO 222), Introduction to International Economics and Finance
(ECO 230/FIN 230), History of Economic Thought (ECO 280), and
Cooperative Education Internship (ECO 294/FIN 294). Students
wishing to pursue study at the Baccalaureate level in economics or
finance should consult an advisor in the Department of Economics and
Finance.
Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work are disciplines that
encourage students to think actively about their role in the world,
and about the social forces that shape the human experience, thus
increasing their ability to live their best lives. Our courses explore
the kinds of questions that arise as soon as we start to look more
closely at the world around us. What is the relationship between the
individual, the community, and the society? Why do societies and
cultures develop differently from one another? Why is there economic
and social inequality within the United States and between nations?
What are the most effective ways to solve social problems like crime,
poverty, violence, or addiction? What social forces shape our ability
to live healthy lives? What kinds of struggles do typical families face
today? How are important elements of identity like gender, ethnicity,
race, class, sexuality, socially constructed? And perhaps the biggest
questions of all: How can we change the world we live in?
Sociology and anthropology courses are designed to meet the needs of
general liberal arts and social science students as well as those planning
to pursue sociology or anthropology majors at the baccalaureate level
and beyond. Students wishing to pursue study at the baccalaureate level
in sociology, anthropology or social work should see departmental
advisors.
Human services courses are designed to help students explore career
options within social work and human services. Students wishing to
pursue our Human Service programs should speak with a departmental
advisor.
In the field of psychology, fundamental survey courses are offered to fit
the needs of all students. Those desiring to specialize are provided with
patterns of preprofessional courses designed to satisfy the requirements
of transfer colleges. Elective offerings provide further study in
psychology for those seeking careers in counseling and teaching.
Students wishing to pursue study at the baccalaureate level in these
subjects should see departmental advisors.
The following curricula are offered by this department:

Developmental and ESL Support
For students whose writing placement indicates a need for a
developmental course, the English Department offers WRT 001
Foundations of Writing. The Department also offers ENG 001 College
Preparatory English as a co-requisite to ENG 101 Composition I
to form an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) through which
students meet with the same instructor for ENG 001 College
Preparatory English and ENG 101 Composition I for five hours
weekly. ENG 001 College Preparatory English supports the work
of ENG 101 Composition I through small classes and lab work. By
passing both courses, students fulfill their developmental writing
requirement and earn 3 credits in Basic Communication toward their
General Education requirements. Students must place higher than RDG
001 Individualized Reading and Study Improvement to enroll in ALP.
All matriculated students placing into RDG 001 Individualized Reading
and Study Improvement and/or RDG 002 Reading and Studying
College Texts, are required to enroll in these courses in their first
semester of attendance. The Department offers RDG 002 as a Gateway
Pairing (a co-requisite that pairs RDG 002 Reading and Studying
College Texts with a variety of 3-credit introductory courses across
the disciplines). Students are required to complete their non-credit
classes successfully before being permitted to register for the next level
of courses. Successful completion of each course is required. If RDG
001 Individualized Reading and Study Improvement is the original
placement, RDG 002 Reading and Studying College Texts is required
unless the student is exempted by meeting Departmental standards.
For English Language Learners the English Department offers:
RDG 030 Rdg ESL 3 - Reading and Study for the Foreign Student:
This 4-hour weekly non-credit course is designed for students who
demonstrate a need to develop mastery of college-level reading and
study skills.
ENG 030 English as a Second Language (ESL Writing III): This 6-hour
weekly, non-credit course prepares non-native speakers of English to
advance in the college-level writing required for work in all disciplines.
ENG 001 ESL - College Preparatory English for English Language
Learners: For students whose placement indicates intensive work in
English language acquisition (particularly in writing), this specialized
form of ENG 001 works with small class groups to prepare students to
develop skills for college-level essays.
Writing Center
The English Department's Writing Center is open to NCC students of
all levels interested in improving their writing in any discipline. Faculty
members offer individualized and group instruction in expository
and creative writing, research and documentation, and basic grammar
and usage. ESL students receive assistance in language development
and learning. Tutoring can also take place at a networked computer
or online by e-mail. In addition, students are welcome to use the
Department's computer lab for word processing and internet research.

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES College Catalog 2023 - 2024
The Human Rights Project (HRS) promotes an understanding of
worldwide genocide and human rights oppression and activism through
academic coursework and co-curricular events open to the college
and community at large. For further information, contact Dr. Florence
Dee Boodakian, Bradley Hall, room 227, 516.572.7185 ext. 25663,
The Jewish Studies Project (JWS) provides students with an
introduction to the world of Judaism from ancient origins to the present
day. We offer two courses: Jews in Biblical and Medieval Cultures
(JWS 102), generally offered in fall, examines Jewish life and culture
from the Biblical period in the Middle East through the Renaissance in
Europe, including Ashkenazic, Mizrahic, and Sephardic populations.
Jews in the Modern World (JWS 104), generally offered in the spring,
begins with the Enlightenment's impact on the Jewish community,
including the effects of new areas of influence, such as Chassidism,
Reform Judaism, Zionism, and Feminism. Overviews of the Holocaust,
Immigration to America, and the Israel-Palestine conflict are included.
Both courses feature readings, discussions, films, field trips, and
guest speakers. They satisfy credit requirements for Gen Ed, Western
Heritage, Global Awareness, and Pluralism and Diversity; both
courses transfer to four-year colleges. Students from all backgrounds
are welcome to enroll. The Jewish Studies Project also offers two
scholarships each spring, and sponsors campus-wide programs and
speakers each semester. For additional information, contact the Jewish
Studies Project Coordinator, Professor Susan Cushman, Bradley Hall
215, [email protected].
The Latin American Studies (LAS) Project promotes knowledge and
an understanding of Latin American and US-Latino peoples, cultures,
history, languages, literature, politics, economics, and relations with the
US and other countries. The Project supports related courses in various
departments, including History, English, and Foreign Languages, and
offers two interdisciplinary courses: Introduction to Latin American
Studies (LAS 101) and Introduction to Latino/a American Studies in
the US (LAS 105). These courses help students explore this field of
study and provide a useful background for different careers. For more
information and/or advisement, contact Dr. Ines Shaw, Bradley Hall,
room 228, 516.572.7840, [email protected].
Multidisciplinary Courses (MDC) are designed to make connections
between ideas in different disciplines, especially in the sciences and
humanities. In the contemporary world it is important to see that
events, discoveries, and social policies, as well as the creative arts, are
motivated by some of the same ideas, and that they constantly influence
one another. The world is a multidisciplinary place, and learning should
follow suit. The five courses offered are open to all students in any
field, especially those who intend to move on to a four-year school
or compete for meaningful employment in a complex world. The
Making of the Modern Mind II (MDC 102) and Mayor Ideas in the
Post-Modern World (MDC 130) may be taken for General Elective
credit. There are no prerequisites and they also may be taken in any
order. For further information, contact MDC Program Coordinator,
Professor William Moeck, Bradley Hall, Room 213, 516.572.9810,
Multidisciplinary Science Courses (MDS) are 4-credit Laboratory
Science classes and have been approved as SUNY GenEd requirements.
There are currently two courses in this area. Connecting the Sciences
- A Macroscopic Approach (MDS 101) examines scientific ideas,
methodology, and principles by studying the evolution of the
universe, solar system, and Earth. Connecting the Sciences - A
Microscopic Approach (MDS 102) examines scientific ideas,
methodology, and principles by studying the evolution of life through
the organization of atoms into living and nonliving structures. Both
of these courses emphasize "hands-on" laboratory investigations. A
more detailed description of these courses can be found under course
descriptions. For further information, contact MDS Coordinator,
Professor Frank Frisenda, Cluster D, Room 2086, 516.572.3556,
Women and Gender Studies (WGS) a multidisciplinary project
emphasizing diversity, serves hundreds of students each academic year.
Sponsoring departments include Art, Communications, Economics,
English, History, Health/PED, Library, and Sociology. Every term we
offer several sections of Introduction to Women's Studies (WST 101)
both online and face-to-face, a course that examines women's roles
cross-culturally in the family, workplace, community, professions, and
popular culture. We also offer Gender in Popular Culture (WST 105),
which examines representations of masculinity and femininity in media
including television and film; The Goddess in World Religions (WST
110), which investigates images of the Goddess in world religions
such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism,
traditional African religions, and Native American traditions; Women’s
Issues in Global Context (WST 201), which looks at labor, reproductive
rights, education, sexual identity, and grassroots activism in targeted
areas around the world; and Philosophy of Sex and Gender (WST 107),
a course dual-listed with the Philosophy, which investigates the nature
and development of the sex-gender distinction and its application to
issues surrounding sexual equality. For further information, contact

to further their careers at the safety management, site superintendent,
and project management levels. The Certificate in Construction
Management will also provide graduates of associate degree programs
in Architectural or Civil Engineering Technology an opportunity
to enhance their education or to focus on management career goals
rather than those associated with design. Other professionals in
architecture, management, and interior design may enroll in the
program to understand the building design and construction process,
construction budgets, estimates, and schedules; enhance computer
skills in estimating, scheduling, and management software; acquire
knowledge of contract documents, building codes, and zoning
regulations; understand safety issues; and develop skills in management
and dispute resolution.

FACULTY: E. Deluty, A. Favia, S. Walden
COURSES OFFERED: Philosophy (PHI)
Philosophy means love of wisdom. A philosopher questions everything,
seeking answers to serious questions: Does human life have meaning?
What is the difference between right and wrong? How should we live
our lives? Do we have free will? Does God exist? Can humans know
what the physical world is really like? In doing this, the philosopher
uses finely tuned arguments and tries to follow them wherever
they lead. Philosophy is intrinsically interesting, enlightening, and
enjoyable, but it is also an unsurpassed tool for sharpening students'
reasoning skills. Moreover, philosophy courses are writing intensive,
emphasizing the written expression of philosophical ideas. This is why
pre-law and pre-medical students are often advised to study it, and
many four-year colleges and universities require it of all students.

TEACHER EDUCATION TRANSFER PROGRAM (LIBERAL ARTS & SCIENCE) College Catalog 2023 - 2024
The SUNY Teacher Education Transfer Template (TETT) is a State
University of New York System articulation project designed to
facilitate transfer between participating SUNY Associate Degree-
Granting Institutions (ADGIs) and those SUNY baccalaureate
campuses with teacher education programs, consistent with the
Chancellor's initiative, A New Vision in Teacher Education. The goal
is both to eliminate course incompatibilities that can hinder student
progress and to simplify advisement at all campuses involved in
teacher education. The TETT project calls for a model AA or AS
curriculum consisting of three components for students aspiring to earn
bachelor degrees with recommendation for NYS teacher certification in
Childhood or Early Childhood Education or in Adolescence Education:
• General Education Core: complete SUNY-GER plus an
additional three credits of Foreign Language (33 credits);
• Major or Concentration: at present the TETT project web site
covers coursework in seven majors/concentrations - Biology,
Chemistry, Earth Science, English, History/Social Studies,
Mathematics, Physics (12-18 credits); and
• Pedagogical Core: one Psychology course (Child or
Adolescent) and Foundations of Education (6 credits).
When a SUNY ADGI student completes these three components
within a particular sequence of coursework, s/he is assured that the
represented coursework will transfer to one of the SUNY designated
campuses offering baccalaureate teacher education programs. The
TETT project is a SUNY System articulation initiative and therefore
assures that a transferring student’s coursework is accepted in whole
if the student meets the criteria for admission to a parallel program at
a participating SUNY baccalaureate campus. The TETT project does
not guarantee admission to a particular teacher education baccalaureate
program or institution. Information pertaining to the admission
requirements for participating senior college programs is provided
as part of the guidance on the TETT web site, http://www.suny.edu/
EducationTransfer. Students are also advised to visit the web pages of
teacher education campuses of interest, accessible from this site.
The six Teacher Education degree programs offered by Nassau
Community College are detailed below. Students matriculated in
any of these programs are reminded that specific courses should
be selected in close consultation with an advisor and based on the
requirements of the students target baccalaureate institution.
For further information, contact the Teacher Education Coordinator,
Professor Diane Martin at 516.572.7458.

liberal arts context.
For students not majoring in Theatre or Dance, courses offered by
the Department of Theatre and Dance may be used as Humanities or

Description: This course is equivalent to
ENG 101, the first credit-bearing course
in composition. ENG 100, created for
underprepared students with marginal writing
skills offers an extra hour for necessary
developmental writing instruction and
individualized support toward the creation
of college-level essays. Exactly as does
ENG 101, the course prepares students
to produce clear, well-developed, well
organized, grammatically correct writing.
The curriculum is designed to give students
guided practice in pre-writing, drafting,
revising, and editing essays, with the addition
of time for review and instruction in basic
grammar, punctuation, sentence boundaries
and structural and developmental issues
related to basic composition. The course is
also designed to develop skills that enable
students to interpret and analyze published
texts. In addition to readings assigned in
class, students respond to texts they locate
themselves through research and write at least
one documented or research essay. Students
who take ENG 100 do not take ENG 001
or ENG 101. Success in ENG 100 indicates
movement to ENG 102, the next course in the
composition sequence. Students who have
completed ENG 100 will not receive credit for
ENG 101.
