“Student Life
at NCCC”
Program
...and much, much more!
August 2011
Welcome to NCCC - Get Involved!
Welcome to Niagara County Community College! You are about to start your
journey towards an exciting college career and we invite you to participate in the
Student Life Program. We take pride in providing out-of-the classroom learning
experiences that enhance student development in areas of leadership and community
service. Make a choice to share your talents in over 30 clubs and organizations,
Student Senate, the LEAD program, athletics, the arts, intramurals/recreation, and
educational events that maximize the opportunity for student’s personal growth and
development.
What makes the NCCC Student Life program so special is the students
themselves are highly involved in the planning of programs and events. They dedicate
a great deal of time creating an energetic activities program designed to help you grow
and develop, while at the same time, still have fun. You can plan special activities, or
social events, meet celebrities, participate in comedy/novelty acts, and make new
friends.
If this sounds interesting perhaps Student Senate is for you. You could become
a student facilitator in our Leadership Experience Adventure Development (L.E.A.D)
program, or maybe you would like to be a member of our Programming Board. There
is so much to do and learn from getting involved in the Student Life Program. It is
truly
“A Learning Experience!”
Please stop by the Student Life Office, G-243, we are eager to explore new
possibilities with you!

appointment with one of the counselors in Student Development. The student
and the counselor will discuss the reasons for the change and its
appropriateness in relation to the student’s goals.
Transfer Counseling
A large percentage of NCCC students transfer to 4-year institutions. Counselors
are available to assist students in selecting and connecting with institutions
which offer the major they are seeking. Visits with admission representatives
from area colleges can often be arranged on our campus.
Dual Admission ensures that students make a smooth transition to the
institution to which they choose to transfer. This transfer process is available to
NCCC students who have not attended any other college and have less than 30
college credits earned. Meet with a counselor or go on-line at
www.niagaracc.suny.edu/admissions/dualadmission.php to learn more.

If a student decides to withdraw from all courses during a semester, the student must

Exit counseling is available in Student Development to assist students in
understanding alternatives to, and outcomes of, withdrawing from NCCC.
The Unschedule
The workshops and seminars listed in the Unschedule are designed to assist
students with academic, vocational, transfer and personal issues that need to
be addressed at various times during the school year. The Unschedule is
published each semester to help make students more aware of the variety of
resources available to help them resolve the problems and issues they
encounter.

intended to increase awareness of various career choices. A variety of research
tools are available to students to assist with career decision making.
Location: A-131 and A-167
Telephone: 614-6490
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education (Co-Op) combines academic requirements and
coursework with supervised work experiences. Students can apply what they
learn at NCCC on the job and are exposed to new skills and knowledge at work
which supplement the entire academic experience. In addition, students also
receive academic credit and a grade. Co-Op courses are open to all majors.
Students have the option of registering for Co-Op placements that require 40 (1
credit), 80 (2 credits), or 120 (3 credits) hours of work experience.
Job Placement
Job Placement services are provided to current students as well as graduates.
Information on a variety of employment opportunities is available. In addition,
students can get assistance with cover letter and resume writing, interview skills and job searching, or take advantage
of the print resources available on these topics. NCCC has a strong relationship with many local employers, who come
to our Job Fair each semester and frequently contact us seeking our students and graduates for employment.
Federal Work Study Program
Students who are awarded Federal Work Study Program funds as part of the financial aid package will be sent an
application for work study placement and a list of student worker placement sessions. The student is required to
return the application and select one placement session to attend if s/he wants to be placed in a student worker
position. At the session, the student will be provided with all documentation and information necessary to securing a
work study placement.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES
A Student Development professional is available to assist continuing international students with F-1 Visa status and
compliance issues, and to sign the I-20 each year. Students seeking employment authorization should make an
appointment to discuss eligibility, documentation, fees, and submission deadlines.
NEW STUDENT ADVISEMENT
Student Development and the Registration & Records Office coordinate the STARS (Student Advisement/Registration
Sessions) for new students. The sessions are typically scheduled from mid November to late January for the spring
semester and late April through August for fall registrants. Sessions begin with a short information session, followed
by a meeting with an academic advisor and online registration for classes. Students can also get their student
identification card at this time.
PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT
Student Development staff administer the College’s assessment in reading, writing, and mathematics. Placement
assessment is mandated by the college to ensure proper course placement. Questions pertaining to scheduling and
placement results should be directed to this office in A-167.
SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The College provides reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities in accordance with Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Counseling — The Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities meets with students to discuss
academic and career goals, review required documentation, and plan appropriate accommodations.
Accommodations — The student must initiate contact with the Coordinator to receive accommodations.
Accommodations must be requested in a timely manner and will be based on individual needs and course
requirements.
VETERAN SERVICES
Veteran Services helps students navigate paperwork necessary to apply for GI Bill benefits. NCCC is responsible for
reporting accurate and timely enrollment information (applicable enrolled courses, changes to course load,
attendance, non-punitive grades, and unsatisfactory academic progress) to the Buffalo VA Regional Processing Office.
The Buffalo RPO determines eligibility and processes payment based on this information. Staff members assist with
general College and GI Bill benefit concerns and work with other college offices to expedite paperwork on behalf of
our veteran population.

Parking Rules and Regulations
There are commuter student parking areas in lots 1, 4 and 5. Parking lot 2 is not student parking; it is for visitors (1 hour
parking, handicapped, and Preschool 15 min. drop off). Lots 3 & 7 are for NCCC employees and also handicapped. Parking lot
6 is for residence of the College Suites.
The NCCC Security Department is empowered with the enforcement of traffic and parking regulations on campus. Any
illegally parked vehicle can receive a Town of Cambria parking ticket, which is payable to the Town of Cambria court.
Persistent violators will be towed, also any vehicle which posses an immediate safety threat (leaking fuel, blocking roadway for
emergency vehicles, etc.) may be towed.
The following are violations that are enforced:
1) Medical Reserved Parking: areas of lots 1, 2, 3 and 7. Permits are issued through the town of residence. These areas are
reserved for students, faculty, staff and visitors with medical disabilities.
2) Reserved Areas: NCCC currently has areas in each parking lot that are reserved for Faculty/Staff. These areas area
designated by signage and require a permit to park there.
3) Restricted Areas: At no time are vehicles permitted to park in roadways, walkways, fire lanes, or lawn areas. In parking
lots, vehicles are to be parked between the yellow lines. Do not to take up multiple spaces or park on the slanted yellow
lined turn around sections at the end of parking rows. Also, take care not to triple park your vehicle (box another vehicle
in). This is a common occurrence in our lots during winter months when the parking lot lines are not visible do to snow fall.

good academic standing
NCCC’s academic standards are designed to assist students in achieving their educational goals. The system
provides periodic and helpful intervention for students working toward completion of a college degree or certificate.
The College supports a three-part intervention system: Academic Warning, Probation and Dismissal.
Matriculated status and good academic standing are granted at the time a student is accepted into an approved
curriculum. In order to maintain matriculated status (and all the benefits associated with it, including financial aid
eligibility), a student must meet the academic policies as follows. Failure to meet the required standards will result
in loss of matriculated status. Please note that the warning and probation policies do not affect matriculation.
Academic Dismissal will result in loss of matriculated status.
Academic Progress for matriculated status and Federal Financial Aid is measured based on the
chart below using credits attempted, credits earned, and grade point average:

CATEGORIES OF ACADEMIC STANDING
ACADEMIC WARNING
Academic warning letters are sent to any matriculated student who earns a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0
(C average) after earning at least six credit hours. This status does not affect academic standing and does not appear on the
student’s transcript. A student on academic warning is encouraged to make greater efforts to improve academic progress.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students on probation are expected to fulfill the terms outlined in their probation letter. Failure to comply with this responsibility is grounds for denial of any future academic appeal requests. Exceptions for any subsequent dismissals will only be
granted for hardship situations. Probation status is awarded when students who have been academically dismissed are
granted a semester to show they can make academic progress towards their degree requirements.
ACADEMIC DISMISSAL/FINANCIAL AID REINSTATEMENT OPTIONS
Academic dismissal (loss of matriculation) and/or the loss of financial aid occur when a student fails to meet applicable
College and/or Financial Aid academic policies.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS PLACED IN ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS COURSE WORK
Non-credit academic foundation coursework will not count towards attempted or earned credits in the minimum standards
evaluation.
However,
College
policy
states
that
a
student
who
is
required
to
enroll
in one or more of the following courses is expected to pass that course after a maximum of two attempts. A student placed in
three foundation courses must pass at least one of the following courses after the first attempt (ENG099, MAT004,
AAC041/042, ESL025, ESL026, ESL027). A student who must repeat a foundations course must do so in his or her next enrolled semester.
Please refer to the NCCC College Catalog for more detailed information on these categories.
What do I do if I receive an academic dismissal letter?
If you are a continuing student (meaning you were registered for courses in the previous semester): Complete the Appeal Form
either online as outlined in your dismissal letter. Be sure to provide detailed information about what prevented you from being
successful in your prior semester(s) and what changes you’ve made to resolve these challenges in the future.
Be prepared for possible restrictions, which may include attending on a part-time basis, attending as a non-matriculated student,
or taking time off to resolve the current challenges preventing you from being successful in the pursuit of education.
If I took time off and want to return to NCCC, what must I do to readmit?
