College Catalog - United Tribes Technical College
General Catalog 2016-2017 Message from the President Hau’ Mitakiyapi (Hello my relatives): On behalf of the Board of Directors, administration, and staff, I welcome you to the United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) campus! UTTC is a nonprofit corporation owned and governed by the five Indian tribes located wholly or in part within the state of North Dakota. UTTC has provided quality certificate, associate of applied science, or baccalaureate, programs of study to native and nonnative students since being established 47 years ago. We are committed to supporting you in completion of the education program of your choice by providing a challenging learning environment based in academia and culture. One of our goals is to enhance your educational experience by exposing you to native leadership at the UTTC Tribal Leaders Summit held on an annual basis. Native leaders from throughout the region and the nation attend this event to share successful models that are addressing critical issues for their communities and nations. We are also home to the UTTC International Powwow, named one of the top 10 powwows in Indian Country, by the Indian Country Today Media Network and USA Today in 2014. The Campus Planner and Campus Services have worked hard to complete the renovation of the Jack Barden Center (JBC) upper level to a one stop shop for Student Services. The JBC lower level was renovated to a Student Union complete with computer lab (20 stations), television room, and the Cozy Creek Café. Sitting Bull Hall (men’s dorm) was also updated with new windows and doors, bathrooms, and new paint and carpet. Academic Affairs have refined the programs of study to meet the recent changes to Title IV (Pell) by decreasing the credit requirements to 24 credits for certificates, 60 credits for associate of applied sciences, and 120 credits for the baccalaureate programs. UTTC was also recently approved by the Higher Learning Commission to add a Bachelors in Science in Environmental Science to the current bachelor degree offerings of Elementary Education, Criminal Justice, and Business Administration. These programs of studies are where a huge majority of enrollment is concentrated and closely aligned with tribal workforce needs from the area. UTTC continues to collaborate with the North Dakota Association of Tribal Colleges and North Dakota University System to enrich a seamless transfer between tribal and state colleges. We also continue to work closely with the University of Mary and Bismarck State College campuses to provide multi-cultural seminars to enhance and expand our students’ academic experience. We are here to support you as a student regardless of your academic or training interests and will do our best to help you complete your chosen program. We welcome you to the UTTC family! We are committed to providing a unique individual experience and hope you will be open to sharing your talents and backgrounds with others in our community. The Wellness and Land Grant programs offer a huge variety of campus based activities and we hope you will participate not only in your classes, but also explore all that UTTC has to offer. We are excited and honored to have you here, and we wish you tremendous success in your every endeavor!

UNITED TRIBES TECHNICAL COLLEGE UNITED TRIBES TECHNICAL COLLEGE Leadership Begins Here Check for catalog updates at www.uttc.edu 5 UNITED TRIBES TECHNICAL COLLEGE History of United Tribes Technical College Enter United Tribes Technical College and you’re on Indian land. The 230 acre campus along Bismarck’s University Drive is a place of historic significance, owned and governed by the tribes of North Dakota to serve education. American Indian students are joined by students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, who are welcomed to this culturally diverse setting. The 100 year-old buildings are a clue to a past here to discover. Tribal Homeland UTTC is the site of the former military post Fort Lincoln. But long before the first brick buildings took shape in 1903, this was open prairie. Wooded ravines and fertile bottomlands, these were the life-sustaining homelands of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara. In 1863—after the Minnesota-Dakota Conflict— Lakota and Dakota People avoided an almost certain massacre at this site by outmaneuvering a vengeful militia from Minnesota. Hunting grounds, battle sites, villages and sacred locations abound near the confluence of Apple Creek and the Missouri. Military Post Fort Lincoln’s central parade grounds, brick buildings and facilities served military purposes on and off through the first half of the 20th Century. Periodically troops were garrisoned, assembled, trained and mobilized. Headquarters and offices were staffed for military, government and civic purposes as Bismarck locals lobbied to maintain the flow of government dollars into their community. Internment Camp Check for catalog updates at www.uttc.edu 6 During World War II, Fort Lincoln was tapped for another purpose. In 1941 a portion was cordoned off with 10-foot-high cyclone fences topped with barbed wire and fortified by guard towers. The post became an enemy alien internment camp of the U.S. Justice Dept. Detained and confined were men primarily of German and Japanese ancestry—some of whom were U.S. citizens. By 1946, 4,000 internees passed through “Snow Country Prison,” connecting it to the acknowledged national disgrace of unjust treatment of groups targeted by race and ethnicity. Post-War Era After the war Fort Lincoln continued in government service. It became the U. S. Leadership Begins Here Army Corps of Engineers headquarters for planning the construction of Garrison Dam, a public works project that flooded tribal land, devastating citizens of the Three Affiliated Tribes. In 1966 the fort was declared surplus property, remodeled and used as a Job Corps training center and by the Peace Corps. The Beginning of a College The start of United Tribes is rooted in the vision and activism of tribal leaders in the 1960s. Faced with threats to their tribal sovereignty and the need for training and jobs development, the tribes of North Dakota incorporated in 1968 and obtained the fort for education and training. Classes began in September 1969. Thus, it became the second tribal college in the nation and one of the founding institutions of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium of tribal colleges nationwide. Because several tribes were involved, UTTC holds the distinction of being the first intertribally controlled and operated postsecondary vocational school in the country. The governing tribes are located wholly or in part in North Dakota: Three Affiliated Tribes of the Mandan/ Hidatsa/Arikara Nation, Spirit Lake Tribe, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyaté, Standing Rock Tribe and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. Setting the Pace United Tribes was founded as a supportive campus-community, where students could maintain the culture and build on their experience as tribal people as they acquire an education leading to employment and life-long opportunities. A hallmark has been the ability to identify and respond to the changing needs for job training and education. In 1982 the college attained full membership accreditation in the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, maintaining its good standing ever since. The college’s first associate degrees were offered in 1987. Accreditation followed for all of the college’s associate level programs in 1993. Tribal College Land Grant status was conferred in 1994. UTTC was the first tribal college in the nation to receive accreditation to offer associate degrees online. Now, bachelor’s degree programs round out the two-dozen or more offerings that make UTTC one of the leading tribal colleges in the nation. Transformation Today, the UTTC campus is a learning environment with modern educational buildings and equipment. The historic setting is transformed, serving students from tribes all across the country. Thousands have been successful, demonstrating that educating students at United Tribes is the highest and best use of a one-time military fort in the tribal homeland.

If a grade of ‘D’ or ‘F’ is earned in one of the courses, then that class will need to be re-taken in order to fulfill the requirements of both courses. In order to meet the requirements of a United Tribes Technical College degree, all Pre-Requisite and/or CoRequisite Course Requirements must be met for the purposes of Graduation. Grading The college uses letter grades to evaluate student work in each class. In order to receive grades and credit, students must meet course requirements. Instructors are responsible for determining final grades. A student’s GPA is determined by dividing the number of honor points earned each semester by the total semester hours attempted. The cumulative GPA is determined by the same formula. Incomplete and withdrawn semester hours are not used in calculating a student’s GPA. Semester hours failed are used in calculating GPA. When a course is repeated, the most recent grade will be used to calculate GPA.

Withdrawal from Classes A Grade of W (Withdrawal) is given to a student who drops or is dropped from a class prior to the last day to withdraw as published in the academic calendar. Withdrawal requires advisor approval. Students who are dropped from courses after the last day to withdraw will receive a failing grade (an “F”) in the course(s) that are not completed. Students who do not complete the withdrawal procedure before the deadline can have any grade (including ‘F’) recorded as their final grade. Exceptions to the deadline can include Family Emergency, Medical/Health Conditions, Military Service, Jury Duty, Lack of Housing, and Lack of Childcare Funding. All other reasons for Withdrawal from classes will earn a grade as described above. Academic Probation If a student fails to obtain a minimum GPA of 2.00 at the end of the term, that student will be placed on Academic Probation. The student on Academic Probation is given another term of enrollment to bring their Term GPA up to at least the required minimum of 2.00. The probation status shall be in effect for one term provided that he/she meets appropriate academic requirements. A student may still be on Probation Status even if their Cumulative GPA is above 2.0 since this status is determined by term grade results. Incompletes If a student fails to obtain a minimum Term GPA of 2.00 while on probation, that student will be placed into status of Academic Suspension. If the student on Academic Probation has not raised his/her Term GPA to at least the required minimum of a 2.00 by the end of the 2nd consecutive term of enrollment, that student is placed on Academic Suspension. A notation of Academic Suspension is added to the student’s permanent record/transcript. Suspension means that a student is not eligible to enroll in the College (UTTC) for the next full semester. When the student returns, he/she enters the College (UTTC) on a Probationary status. A student may still be on Suspension Status even if their Cumulative GPA is above 2.0 since this status is determined by the Term Grade Results. A grade of I (Incomplete) will be recorded when a student is making progress in classes, but is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond his/her control and after negotiation between the instructor and the student about how the course can be completed. Except for emergencies, such as exceptional personal illness, a death in the family, or other unforeseeable circumstances, a student must contact their instructor within two weeks prior to an event or events that they feel would interfere with their ability to attend class and finish the semester successfully. A current minimum of a ‘C’ grade is required for the student to receive an Incomplete in that course. Copies of the negotiated agreement will be filed with the Registrar, the advisor, and the student. Students have two weeks into the succeeding semester to complete the necessary work. A “last-minute effort” by the student to complete the course with a history of poor attendance or poor performance is not a viable reason to report an incomplete grade. It is the student’s responsibility to request an incomplete grade. It is also the advisor’s responsibility to make sure the Leadership Begins Here UNITED TRIBES TECHNICAL COLLEGE Academic Suspension student understands this option. Students must contact their instructors within two weeks of other circumstances they feel would interfere with their ability to attend class and finish the course successfully.

Students who have attended colleges elsewhere must notify UTTC of all previous enrollments. Students are required to have all official transcripts from other colleges sent to the UTTC Registrar’s Office. Transfer credits of ‘C’ or better may be accepted if they apply to the student’s degree plan. The advisor will complete a transcript evaluation and submit it to the Registrar for final approval.

This means students who are accepted into and complete this program of study, as well as meet the other criteria, are eligible to apply for an Educator’s Professional License through the State of North Dakota. The conceptual framework of the UTTC Teacher Education program is based on the philosophy that a competent, caring teacher is prepared to teach all children. We believe that teaching from what was traditionally a Native perspective is the best way for all children to learn. A Native perspective begins with recognizing the child in the context of family, community, and culture. Learning is a natural part of human growth, development, and socialization in all cultures. In many cultures, particularly Native American, the learning experiences that constitute education are based in cultural values of relevance, relatedness, respect, and responsibility - referred to in this framework as the “4 Rs”. Relevance is demonstrated through meaningful and authentic learning experiences tied directly to state and national standards. Candidates learn and experience reflective practice by participating in field placements in the classroom under mentor and instructor guidance. They are provided the opportunity to engage in opportunities that are meaningful and relevant to one’s life and interests. Relatedness is believing and behaving as if you are a relative to another person or thing. It is demonstrated and reinforced through collaborations with children and families. Respect is a very important traditional Native value. Respect is demonstrated through student contributions and their respect of others’ contributions. The disposition of respect is demonstrated through courtesy, kindness, and acceptance of individuals and their contributions. Responsibility is a core value of Native cultures as well as the teaching culture. Candidates are expected to demonstrate accountability for their actions and decisions as they engage in their general education and teacher education curriculum. The 4Rs are integrated throughout the UTTC Teacher Education unit and program(s) and are placed in the context of a holistic worldview and global interconnectedness. These and other values will prepare teacher candidates, and in turn the children they will teach, to be productive members of society and have a good quality of life. Program Goals Graduates of the UTTC Elementary Education BS degree program will: 1. Demonstrate content knowledge necessary for effective teaching and learning. 2. Demonstrate skills in teaching methodology that allow for the establishment and maintenance of an environment conducive to the learning of all students. 3. Use technology as a means of transforming teaching and learning, infusing it across the curricula. 4. Promote a deep respect for diversity by planning and implementing lessons that are inclusive of all learners. 5. Encourage reflective practice as a means by which professional educators continually improve the teaching and learning process. 6. Develop effective communication skills so that viable partnerships between colleagues, students, and families can be nurtured.
