STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
HISTORY
Itawamba Community College began as an extension of Itawamba County
Agricultural High School, one of the largest high schools in Mississippi, which
was organized in 1920.
In 1941, the trustees extended the curriculum to provide for two years of college work. However, World War II postponed the plans for buildings and equipment to pursue college status.
In March 1948, the boards of supervisors and school boards of Itawamba,
Lee and Monroe counties unanimously and harmoniously agreed to support
Itawamba Junior College. A full freshman college curriculum was offered for the
first time during the 1948-49 session, and sophomore work, during 1949-50.
Pontotoc County began supporting Itawamba Community College in 1953,
and Chickasaw County in 1972.
The ICC Tupelo campus, which was organized in July 1963, operated in
vacant buildings and shops procured from businesses of the city of Tupelo. In
July 1966, the school relocated into a 65,500-square-foot complex, which has
grown to include 11 buildings. In the fall of 1987, the name of the institution was
changed to Itawamba Community College to more adequately reflect its mission
and purpose.
MISSION AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Itawamba Community College is a two-year public-supported community
college dedicated to serving the educational needs of the residents primarily of

The College fully subscribes to the philosophy that the mission of the community college is to bring the concept of educational opportunities for all closer

that provides qualified students an opportunity to pursue a college/university parallel Associate of Arts degree, a technical Associate of Applied Science degree or
an occupational Vocational Certificate. In addition, students are encouraged to
participate in special interest programs. The students receive academic skills and
application strategies to assume their roles in society and in the work place.
Additionally, residents within the district are presented special services and
activities designed to promote economic growth.

Refund Policy for Students Who Receive Title IV Federal
Financial Aid and Withdraw From School
Refunds shall be dictated by guidelines provided by federal regulations for
Title IV students. Contact the Financial Aid office for a copy of this refund policy or review this policy on ICC’s Web site, www.iccms.edu under “Paying for
College,” “Refund Policy/Return of Title IV Funds.” Below is a summary of the
federal regulations:
Treatment of Federal Student Aid When A Student Withdraws
The law specifies how Itawamba Community College must determine the
amount of Federal Student Aid (FSA) assistance that students earn if they withdraw from school. The FSA programs that are covered by this law are: Federal
Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, PLUS Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs), Federal Perkins Loans and in some cases, certain
state grant aid.
When students withdraw during their payment period or period of enrollment (Itawamba Community College can define these and determine which one
applies) the amount of FSA program assistance that they have earned up to that
point is determined by a specific formula. If they received (Itawamba
Community College or parent received on their behalf) less assistance than the
amount that they earned, they may be able to receive those additional funds. If
they received more assistance than they earned, the excess funds must be
returned by Itawamba Community College and/or them.
The amount of assistance that they have earned is determined on a pro-rata
basis. For example, if students completed 30 percent of their payment period or
period of enrollment, they earn 30 percent of the assistance they were originally
scheduled to receive. Once they have completed more than 60 percent of the payment period or period of enrollment, they earn all the assistance that they were
scheduled to receive.
If they did not receive all of the funds that they earned, they may be due a
post-withdrawal disbursement. If the post-withdrawal disbursement includes
loan funds, they may choose to decline the loan funds so that they don’t incur
additional debt. Itawamba Community College may automatically use all or a
portion of the students’ post-withdrawal disbursement (including loan funds, if
they accept them) for tuition, fees and room and board charges. For all other
school charges, Itawamba Community College needs student permission to
25
use the post-withdrawal disbursement. If they do not give their permission
(which some schools ask upon enrollment), they will be offered the funds.
However, it may be in the students’ best interest to allow the school to keep the
funds to reduce their debt at Itawamba Community College.
There are some FSA funds that students were scheduled to receive that they
cannot earn once they withdraw because of other eligibility requirements. For
example, first time, first-year undergraduate students who have not completed
the first 30 days of their program before they withdraw will not earn any FFEL
or Direct loan funds that they would have received had they remained enrolled
past the 30th day.
If they receive (Itawamba Community College or parent receive on their
behalf) excess FSA program funds that must be returned, Itawamba Community
College must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of
1. institutional charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of their
funds, or
2. the entire amount of excess funds.
3. Itawamba Community College must return this amount even if it didn’t
keep this amount of the student’s FSA program funds.
If Itawamba Community College is not required to return all of the excess funds,
students must return the remaining amount. Any loans funds that they must
return, they (or their parent for a PLUS Loan) repay in accordance with the terms
of the promissory note. That is, they make scheduled payments to the holder of
the loan over a period of time.
Any amount of unearned grant funds that they must return is called an over payment. The amount of a grant overpayment that they must repay is half of the
unearned amount. They must make arrangements with Itawamba Community
College or the Department of Education to return the unearned grant funds.
The requirements for FSA program funds when students withdraw are separate from any refund policy that Itawamba Community College may have.
Therefore, they may still owe funds to Itawamba community College to cover
unpaid institutional charges. Itawamba Community College may also charge
them for any FSA program funds that the College was required to return. If students don’t already know what Itawamba Community College’s refund policy is,
they can ask the school for a copy. Itawamba Community College can also provide them with the requirements and procedures for officially withdrawing from
school.
Questions about FSA program funds may be addressed to the Federal
Student Aid Information Center at 1.800.4.FED.AID (1.800.433.3243). The
Center accepts calls from 8 a.m. to midnight (EST), seven days a week. TTY
users may call 1.800.730.8913. Information is also available on the U.S.
Department of Education’s “Financial Aid for Students Home Page” at

FALL AND SPRING CLASSES
Itawamba Community College offers day classes on its Fulton and Tupelo campuses in 16-week semesters. The fall semester normally begins about midAugust and concludes prior to Christmas. The spring semester normally begins
in early January and concludes about mid-May. The classes offered during these
semesters are typically freshman and sophomore level courses for academic,
technical and vocational students.
The College publishes class schedules for the fall and spring semesters to assist
students in class planning and registration.
SUMMER CLASSES
Itawamba Community College offers two four-week summer day class sessions
and one eight-week summer evening class session on its Fulton and Tupelo campuses. Classes during summer school meet more frequently than courses during
the fall and spring semesters; instruction is often more intense and time for study
is limited. Summer classes, however, are often a good option for students who
want to get a head start in college, earn additional credit toward their degree or
take lower level courses to strengthen their skills in selected academic areas.
EVENING CLASSES, AFTER-WORK AND WEEKEND
Itawamba Community College also offers a wide variety of evening, after-work
and weekend classes on its Tupelo and Fulton campuses during the fall and
72
spring semesters for working adults and other individuals who prefer to attend
college. The College’s partnership with The University of Mississippi in Tupelo
provides part-time students with a unique opportunity to take lower level courses with ICC and then continue their studies with The University of Mississippi on
the Tupelo campus. A broad array of technical and vocational classes is also
available in the evenings.
ONLINE CLASSES
In order to meet the needs of area students, Itawamba Community College offers
online classes. These classes are listed in the ICC schedules and may be accessed
at Distance Learning via the ICC homepage at www.iccms.edu. The academic
calendar of the Mississippi Virtual Community College will be followed. Credit
is transcripted the same for online and traditional classes. Students are responsible for contacting the university to which they plan to transfer regarding acceptance of online courses. See www.msvcc.org for a complete listing of MSVCC
courses.
COURSE CREDIT
Credit for academic, technical and vocational courses is awarded in terms of
semester hours. Generally, for each hour of credit earned, the student must attend
class one hour per week for one semester. Should the student attend class three
hours per week for one semester, credit earned would be three semester hours. A
majority of the classes at Itawamba Community College meet three hours per
week.
STUDENT CLASSIFICATION
All students are classified during the first semester of each year according to the
following standards:
Freshmen — Those who have completed fewer than 24 semester hours.
Sophomores — Those who have completed 24 or more semester hours.
COURSE LOAD
The normal course load per semester is 12 to 19 semester hours. Nine semester
hours is considered a three-fourths normal load; six semester hours, a one-half
normal load. The Vice President of Instruction or his/her designee must approve
course loads in excess of 19 semester hours.
73
GRADING SYSTEM
Academic, Technical and Vocational
At the end of a course, students receive one of the following grade designations:
A
This grade is given for consistently superior work on
assignments and examinations.
B
This grade is earned as a result of better-than-average
performance on required assignments and examinations.
C
This grade is earned by performance considered average or
satisfactory on required assignments and examinations.
D
This grade, although passing, indicates that the student’s work
has been substandard and that he/she has met only the minimum
requirements on required assignments and examinations.
F
This grade, a failing grade, indicates that the student has
failed to meet the minimum requirements of the course.
I
This designation indicates that the student has failed to complete, through some unavoidable circumstances, at least one
of the required course assignments or examinations. The grade
of I is treated as a temporary F if the required assignment
or test is not completed by mid-semester of the following
semester.
IP
An In-Progress (IP) grade may be assigned to a student who
is in a developmental studies course and who does not complete course requirements before the end of the semester. A
student who is assigned an “IP” grade at the end of a semester
must complete course work during the following semester
(excluding summer school) or withdraw from the course and
receive a W. Exceptions to this procedure must be approved
by the Vice President of Instruction. The grade “IP” is not
used in computing grade point average.
W
Students who withdraw from a course by the Friday before the
examination schedule begins or are dropped for excessive
absences will receive a “W” grade for the course(s). If withdrawal occurs after the day indicated above,
yet prior to course completion, the student will receive a
grade based on the coursework completed.
X
This designation is used when a student audits a course. No
credit is awarded when a course is audited.
Z
This grade authorizes credit without further qualification of the
student’s performance. The Z grade does not affect the student’s
grade point average in any way and is not used in determining
whether a student qualifies to graduate with academic hours.
74
The Z grade is awarded to veterans for two-hours credit
in physical education and in certain courses for advanced
placement credit. The Z grade is not used in computing
grade point average.
All students pursuing a course and enrolled in such course at the end of a semester will be assigned a grade of A, B, C, D, F, I, IP, W, X or Z.
QUALITY POINT/GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The overall quality of a student’s work is measured by Quality Points. Quality
points are acquired according to the following schedule:
Grade
Quality Points Per Semester Hour
A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4

Quality points have been awarded on the four-point system to all students at
Itawamba Community College since the beginning of the fall semester of 1970.
Records of students attending Itawamba Community College prior to the fall
semester of 1970 and re-enrolling at this time will be converted to the four-point
system by adding the number of hours attempted to the total number of quality
points the student has attained.
The ratio of Quality Points to Hours Attempted is called grade point average (GPA). For example, if students have attempted 15 semester hours and have
earned 36 quality points, their GPA is 2.4 and is determined by dividing 36 by
15.
In calculating GPA, the following will apply:
1. When a student repeats a course, the grade received each time the course
is taken will be recorded on the transcript and the quality points will be
used in calculating the current term GPA.
75
2. The best grade will be used to compute the cumulative GPA and
the cumulative GPA for graduation requirements, graduation with
honors and class rank for all courses taken from spring 1986 forward and then repeated from spring 1998 forward.
3. The above criteria apply to courses taken and retaken at ICC only.
NOTE: All courses repeated prior to spring 1998 are calculated by the former
method — calculation of the cumulative GPA based upon all work attempted.
Hours Attempted are determined on the basis of semester hours scheduled in
which grades of A, B, C, D and F are recorded. Hours scheduled in which grade
of W, IP, X and Z are recorded will not count as hours attempted.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
The probation and dismissal policy at ICC for academic, technical and vocational students is based on the philosophy that the College has an obligation to assist
students who, due to unsatisfactory academic performance, may experience difficulty in realizing their goals. Specifically, the probation and dismissal policy is
concerned with:
a. Protecting the student from prolonged unsatisfactory performance which
might result in forfeiting his/her opportunity to earn a college degree or
certificate at ICC or elsewhere, and
b. Helping the student re-evaluate his/her strengths and weaknesses in
selecting a program of study in keeping with interest, aptitude, needs
and ability.
Probation Criteria
Students will be considered to be making less than satisfactory progress whenever their current grade point average for the preceding semester is less than 1.00
and/or less than1.50 for the preceeding two consecutive semesters..
Students not meeting the above stated standards of progress at the end of a semester will be placed on probation for one semester. During the academic probation
semester, a grade point average of 1.5 on all work attempted must be earned.
Only one semester of probation will be allowed. After the probationary period,
students not meeting the minimum standards of progress will not be permitted to
register the following semester.
A student transferring from another college will have to meet the same standards
as an ICC student.
A student dismissed for academic reasons may petition the Enrollment
Committee for an exception to minimum readmission requirements. After a stu-
76
dent has been dismissed for one semester, he/she may apply for readmission
the following semester.
Students will be allowed to enroll in summer school to improve their GPA.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT
It is the intent of the Itawamba Community College Board of Trustees that
opportunities for student success and the development of personal responsibility
be a high priority for the College. One of the key factors in this endeavor is class
attendance. In keeping with this intent, Itawamba Community College’s faculty
maintain class attendance records for all classes offered by the College. It is the
student’s responsibility to attend class.
Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes and complete all course work prescribed by the instructor. Class attendance is counted from the first scheduled
class meeting regardless of when the student registers. If a student is absent more
than 15 percent of the class time, he/she will be dropped from the class. Three
tardies will be counted as one absence. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor his/her class attendance to keep from being dropped from class.
Absences in Special Admission Programs
Some of the College’s educational programs have special attendance requirements because of the nature of the subject matter taught, clinical components
and/or state or national accreditation. Where this is the case, these requirements
will be communicated to the student in the course syllabus.
Work Missed Because of Absence
It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor when an absence is necessary and to make arrangements for missed notes, assignments and/or tests.
These arrangements should be made prior to the absence when possible. If
arrangements are not made prior to the absence, the student is responsible for
meeting with the instructor upon returning to class to determine what missed
assignments and/or tests can be completed.
Class Reinstatement
A student who has been dropped from class because of excessive absences may
request reinstatement from the appropriate dean of Instruction. The request must
be made prior to the next scheduled class meeting after the student has been notified of the drop. Students requesting class reinstatement should remain in class
until the appropriate dean reaches a decision.
77
Appeals
Students who are not readmitted to class may appeal the decision to the Vice
President of Instruction who will convene a committee to hear the appeal if the
appeal is not resolved. The appeal must be made in writing to the appropriate
dean within two school days following denial of readmission. The appeal must
include documentation that absences were caused by an emergency or extenuating circumstances. Students who appeal are required to remain in class until a
decision on the appeal is made. The decision of the committee will be final.
TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS
Tests are given periodically throughout the semester, and final examinations are
given at the end of each semester. Academic, technical and vocational students
view progress reports online at the end of the first eight weeks during the fall and
spring and receive final grades at the end of the semester.
CHANGE OF SCHEDULE
Schedule changes may be made with approval of the Division of Student Affairs
or advisers on either the Fulton or Tupelo campuses according to the dates indicated in the Academic Calendar. After the date stated in the Academic Calendar,
courses may not be added without permission from the instructor and the appropriate dean. Grade assignments associated with schedule changes will be made
in accordance with stated policies listed under “Grading System.” Students are
not permitted to drop a course following the scheduled date of the beginning of
final semester examinations.
Procedures for schedule changes are as follows:
1. Students that have their alternate personal identification number (PIN)
can make schedule changes online during the registration period.
2. After the registration period, students must see their adviser to drop
a course. The adviser then completes an online drop request form and
submits it to the Division of Student Affairs for processing.
AUDITING COURSES
Students may be admitted to the College to audit courses on the same basis as a
regular student. To audit, a student must have permission from the instructor,
appropriate Dean of Instruction and Director of Admissions and Registrar.
78
Audited courses are counted at full value in computing the student’s load for fee
purposes, and the last day to register and audit a course is the same as that for
other courses. Upon completion of a course that has been audited, the student will
receive an “X” designation on his/her transcript to indicate the course was audited. If a student auditing a course withdraws or is dropped due to excessive
absences, then a W grade will be posted to the transcript.
No credit is granted for courses taken on an audit basis. Students are not permitted to receive credit at any future date for their participation in a course
on this basis.
DIRECTED STUDY
Directed Study is designed to serve the needs of the community college and student when extenuating circumstances exist that prevent the agreement between
an instructor and a student that gives the student an opportunity to complete the
required work for a class on an individual basis. Credit earned in a Directed
Study course is equivalent to credit earned in regular class. The last day to register for a Directed Study course is the same as that for other courses.
The following conditions should be met in order for a Directed Study Application
Form to be initiated:
1. The lack of enrollment in the course desired precludes it being offered as
a scheduled class; or
2. Extenuating circumstances exist which preclude an individual enrolling
in a scheduled class appropriate to his or her program of study. (In
such cases, the Directed Study must be approved by the faculty member
who will supervise the Directed Study, the appropriate Dean of Instruction
and the Vice President of Instruction.)
3. Students who have previously taken the course and made below a “C”
grade will not be allowed to repeat a course by Directed Study.
4. Students who desire to take a course by Directed Study should discuss
this option with their faculty adviser and have his/her support.
5. Beginning and ending dates for the Directed Study Contract must coincide
with the published academic calendar for any given semester.
6. Instructors must agree to provide at least two progress reports in addition
to the final grade.
7. Instructors may only teach the Directed Study course if it is a part of his/
her normal teaching discipline, a course he/she has recently taught, and a
course for which he/she has a current outline on file in the Dean’s Office.
8. Directed Study Contracts must be approved by the appropriate Dean of
Instruction and the Vice President of Instruction.
79
The maximum amount of college credit that may be earned from enrollments in Directed Study classes is 30 semester credit hours.
WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES
If it becomes necessary for a student to drop a class, he/she should officially drop
the class. The responsibility for withdrawal resides with the student. Students
failing to officially withdraw by the date of the last allowable absence will be
dropped by the instructor at the next class meeting. These students will receive a
grade of W according to catalog regulations and college grading system guidelines.
Procedures for dropping a class are as follows:
1. Students that have their alternate PIN can drop a class online during
the registration period.
2. The student may initiate by seeing their adviser to drop a course.
The adviser then completes an online drop request form and submits
it to the Division of Student Affairs for processing.
3. An instructor may initiate a drop for excessive absences by completing
an online form and sending it to the Registrar’s office.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE
If it becomes necessary for a student to withdraw from college, he/she should
officially withdraw. The responsibility for withdrawal resides with the student,
and failure to officially withdraw could impact the student’s scholastic record.
The student may initiate withdrawal by completing an Application to Withdraw
Form in the Student Affairs office.
COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)
Itawamba Community College recognizes and encourages individual initiative
and self-improvement. To help students reach these goals, the College participates in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). It is the procedure of
Itawamba Community College to charge a fee of $20 to students who wish their
CLEP scores entered on their official transcript. Only those tests that are successfully completed will be entered as a part of the official transcript. Credit on the
CLEP Subject Examination will be awarded only to those students who make a
scaled score of 50 or more.
ICC does not administer this examination. However, forms for the test are available in any Dean of Instruction’s office. A student can receive credit for a maximum of 30 semester hours of approved CLEP subject examinations. For more
information on the CLEP, check the worldwide Web at
www.collegeboard.com/clep.
80
NOTE: Students should consult with the Registrar of the university to
which they plan to transfer for information on acceptable CLEP scores.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Challenge Examinations — Vocational and Technical Education
Itawamba Community College’s Challenge Examination Policy has been developed to allow students of the College an opportunity to pass a challenge examination on the subject matter being taught in a given course in vocational and
technical education programs for which prior experiential learning has occurred.
Credit awarded for such Challenge Examinations will be posted to a student’s
transcript subject to his/her meeting admission requirements of the College. The
Challenge Examination must be administered by a qualified faculty member or
college administrator in accordance with the protocol used for other academic
credit by examination procedures.
The following conditions shall be met in order for a Challenge Examination
Request to be initiated:
1. The candidate for the Challenge Examination must be enrolled at Itawamba Community College as a part-time or full-time student.
2. The candidate must have discussed his/her interest in taking a
Challenge Examination with the appropriate faculty member and
81
demonstrate to that faculty member’s satisfaction that he/she has mastered the subject matter in some prior learning environment.
3. The candidate must complete a Challenge Examination Form.
The following conditions shall be met in order for a Challenge Examination to
be given by an instructor:
1. The student shall be given a copy of the course syllabus prior to
the completion of a Challenge Examination Application Form.
2. The request must be approved by the instructor, Dean of Career
and Technical Instruction and Vice President before the examination
is given.
3. Challenge examinations shall be comprehensive in scope covering
content taught in the entire course.
4. If the course being challenged has a performance component, the
challenge exam should likewise have a performance component
representative of the skills required in the course.
An individual may be administered only one challenge examination per course
per semester. The total credit that may be earned by challenge examinations during a fall or spring term may not exceed a maximum of 15 semester credit hours,
and the maximum credit that may be earned during a summer term may not
exceed a maximum of six semester credit hours.
Full-time students may take the challenge examination at a cost of $15. Part-time
students will be required to pay tuition for the class after the challenge examination provided the challenge examination is completed satisfactorily/with a passing grade.
Challenge examinations available from Itawamba Community College are given
on pass-fail basis only. A minimum grade of 85 on a scale of 100 is required
in order to receive credit for the course challenged. If this is not the scale used
by the faculty member, the grading of assessment results must be converted to
this scale. The successful completion of the challenge examination will result in
the posting of a “Z” grade to the candidate’s transcript. Unsuccessful completion
of the challenge examination will result in the student’s receiving no grade of any
kind.
The total credit that may be transcripted by successfully completing challenge examinations is 15 semester credit hours.
82
ADVANCED PLACEMENT
Advanced Placement — Academic Programs
Itawamba Community College awards credit to students who have enrolled and
successfully completed courses in the College Entrance Examination Board
(CEEB) Advancement Placement Program offered through their high schools.
Students who earn scores of three or higher on the final examinations will be
given credit for the course(s) and a “Z” grade will be inscribed on the student’s
transcript indicating credit without further qualification of the student’s performance. Advanced placement and corresponding semester hours of credit are
awarded in American history, art, biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science,
economics, English (literature/composition), French, government, mathematics,
music, psychology, physics, Spanish and western civilization.
Requests for permission to take such examinations should be made initially to
the Dean of Academic Instruction.
Permission may be given subject to the following conditions:
a. Credit by advanced placement examinations is limited to 30
semester hours. This credit cannot be used to reduce the minimum
residence requirement.
b. Credit will be given only to those students who have been admitted to
c. Credit will not be given in courses in which failing grades have been
earned.
d. Credit earned through advanced standing examination will not be used
in the computation of grade-point averages.
e. The grade “Z” will be issued for advanced standing credit.
NOTE: Students should consult with the Registrar of the university to
which they plan to transfer for information on acceptable Advanced
Placement scores.
Articulated Credit — Career Technical Programs
Itawamba Community College grants credit for selected courses in vocational
and technical education programs based upon educational experiences at the high
school level. The procedure used to grant such credit relies on the verification of
occupational competencies mastered at the high school level that are also found
in courses of study at the community college level. Advanced placement credit
is awarded only when it promotes the continuity of study between high school
and community college programs of study, broadens and enhances the total educational experience of the student and prevents unnecessary duplication of
instruction. Credit will be awarded for applicable courses under the following
conditions:
83
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
Applicant must have completed an articulated program of study at
a secondary center located in a school district that maintains a signed
articulation agreement with the Itawamba Community College
District.

articulated program of study before the articulated credit is
transcripted. A grade of Z will be given on the transcript for articulated
courses.
No cost will be assessed on hours earned through articulated credit.
EVALUATION OF EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES IN THE
ARMED FORCES
Itawamba Community College will grant to all veterans two semester hours credit for physical education upon submission to the Office of the Registrar a certified copy of either D.D. form 295 or D.D. 214 which indicates a period of continuous active duty for at least 90 days.
Additional credit for training in formal service schools will be granted based
upon submission of an official copy of the American Council on Education
Registry Transcript. Credits from this transcript are evaluated based on recommendations published in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences
in the Armed Services insofar as the recommended credit can be evaluated as
equivalent to a specific Itawamba Community College course.
A student can receive credit for a maximum of 30 semester hours of approved
military training. A grade of Z is recorded for credit granted. No quality points
are granted. Credits granted are not used in computing grade point average.
84
RESIDENT REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

(on those hours applied toward graduation). Three non-academic* hours may be
applied toward meeting graduation requirements. (Non-academic hours are onehour physical education, band, choir, drama production, publications and cooperative education.) Courses which are assigned nontransfer credit may not be
counted toward the requirements for graduation.
The 63 semester hours which a student submits for graduation must satisfy one
of the following two conditions:
85
1. Completion of the basic core of General Education courses is required.
Components of the core must include courses from those listed below. In

TECH PREP EDUCATION PROGRAM
ICC’s Tech Prep Education Program promotes and facilitates a variety of activities that develop and/or enhance career counseling, career development courses,
contextual learning methodologies and articulation for area junior high and high
schools as well as the community college. The Tech Prep Education Program
also champions a secondary/post-secondary sequence of study that begins in the
middle school and continues through two years of post-secondary education that
leads to a certificate or an associate degree with considerable emphasis placed on
applied academic skill development. Students do not enroll in this program, but
are the benefactors of the services this program provides to area high schools and
the community college.
ACADEMIC PLACEMENT
ICC embraces the philosophy that students should be provided the opportunities
for learning experiences that will help them succeed in achieving their educational goals. To best position students to reach their goals, ICC uses placement testing to determine the strengths and needs of students in English, mathematics and
reading to assist in the selection of the most appropriate program and/or course
option.
ACT scores or the Accuplacer Assessment are used to place students at their
demonstrated level of academic achievement. Advisers will assist students in
enrolling in appropriate courses based on the following ACT scores: ENGLISH:
sub-score of 16 or above — English Composition I; 14-15 — Intermediate
English; Less than 14 — Beginning English. Students with an ACT composite
score of 16 or below will be advised to enroll in a reading improvement or study
skills course to assist them with successful academic advancement. MATHEMATICS: sub-score of 19 or above — College Algebra; 17-18 — Intermediate
Algebra; 15-16 — College Math II; Less than 15— Developmental Math.
READING: sub-score of 14-15 — Reading Enhancement; 13 or below —
EXCEPTIONS require approval of the Dean of Academic Instruction. A grade of
“C” or higher is required to advance to the next higher level course. Placement
scores in Reading are directly related to the enrollment in History courses at ICC.
If a student scores 13 or below in Reading, he/she is prohibited from enrolling in
any History class. However, if a student, scores 14-15 in Reading, he/she is
allowed to enroll in a History class and Reading Enhancement I concurrently.
Itawamba Community College offers developmental courses in English, mathematics, reading and study skills. Each course is designed to strengthen students’
basic skills to enable them to be successful in other college classes. Institutional
credit is awarded for development courses.

LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER
The mission of the Learning Resource Center is to serve as an integral support
component of the total teaching-learning enterprise for the students of Itawamba
Community College. By providing appropriate resources for students, faculty
and administration, the LRC promotes the philosophy of lifelong learning for all
and encourages all to achieve to the maximum of their potential as learners, citizens and human beings. The LRC seeks educational excellence for all members
of the college community.
Students and faculty of Itawamba Community College, as well as students
enrolled in Distance Learning classes through the College, are allowed to check
out materials from the Learning Resource Center. Community patrons and students from area schools in the Itawamba Community College district who are at
least 16 years of age may check out materials on a limited basis. All books except
those especially designated may be checked out for a two-week period. A fine of
five cents per day is charged for overdue books. A limited checkout period may
be assigned for some books during a time of heavy demand. Students with fines
or overdue books will be permitted to check out additional materials. In addition,
they may be prohibited from taking examinations or having transcripts mailed to
other colleges. If books are lost, students and faculty are expected to pay for the
cost of replacement. Library materials which are not available in the Learning
Resource Center may often be obtained from other libraries or agencies through
Interlibrary Loan. The resources of the ICC Learning Resource Center should be
exhausted before ILL requests are made. Persons should consult a member of the
library staff to determine the location, time required to obtain and any possible
charges for the items desired.
The meeting rooms and equipment of the library may be scheduled for the use of
the faculty and staff of the College and by any other educational, business or civic
groups. Because of the heavy demand for this equipment and space, reservations
should be made as far ahead as practical. Some equipment is available for offcampus business or community use on a limited basis. However,
television/VCR/DVD equipment, large screen video/computer projectors, all
computer equipment and certain other equipment are restricted to on-campus use
only.
For the convenience of LRC patrons, copy machines, microfiche reader/printers
and computer printers are housed in the library. Copies may be obtained at a cost
of 10 cents per page. Computers equipped with several integrated office software
packages are available for student use in the Learning Resource Center computer lab during the regular hours of service. While these computers are primarily
provided for the use of ICC students, other adults or high school students who are
91
at least 16 years of age may use them as available with proper identification. All
Internet users must sign in at the Circulation Desk and must adhere to the ICC
Acceptable Use Policy. Registration at ICC implies agreement with the Internet
Acceptable Use Policy of the College. Internet access will be denied to anyone
observed watching inappropriate Web sites. None of the equipment in the LRC,
including computers, printers, scanners, copy machines, etc., can be used on a
regular basis or on a large scale in support of another organization such as a
church or business or for any individual user’s profit-making activities.
The Mississippi Library Security Act of 1978 states, “It shall be unlawful for any
persons to remove library materials, without authorization, from the premises
wherein such materials are maintained or to retain possession of library materials without authorization, It shall be unlawful for any person to willfully mutilate library materials.” This means that it is a violation of state law to remove
books or other library materials without checking them out or to damage them by
cutting out sections, writing in them or otherwise defacing them.
The United States Copyright Act of 1976 states that it is a crime to photocopy any
and all copyrighted materials. Certain portions of copyrighted articles may be
photoduplicated for study and other educational purposes.
The Learning Resource Center is a “smoke free” building, and the use of tobacco products is prohibited. In addition, no food or drink is permitted. Cell phones
must be deactivated.
Students are expected to work independently without constant supervision and
must conduct themselves in such a manner that others will not be disturbed.
Noisy or disruptive students will be asked to leave. Children must not be left
unattended in the library. Young children and babies may be allowed only as long
as they are not disruptive to other library patrons.
The Fulton campus Learning Resource Center houses a collection of approximately 38,000 books and bound periodicals. The LRC subscribes to 185 current
periodicals and 15 national, state, county and local newspapers. The Fulton
Learning Resource Center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through
Thursday and from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays. During the summer, the
LRC closes at 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday. However, the LRC will
remain open at night when requested by faculty for special classes.
The Tupelo campus Learning Resource Center serves the students of Itawamba
Community College, the University of Mississippi Tupelo campus, the
Mississippi University for Women Nursing School and Tupelo Public
92
Schools personnel through the Hancock Leadership Center. The Tupelo LRC
includes a collection of approximately 19,000 books, 165 periodicals and 12
national, state, county and local newspapers. The Tupelo campus Learning
Resource Center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., Monday through Thursday,
and from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
BOOKSTORE

The Bookstore is located in the Student Services Building on the Fulton campus
and in the Student Services Building on the Tupelo campus. Hours of operation
are posted at the entrance to each store. Additional hours are observed to accommodate students enrolled in evening, summer or special classes.
New and used books are sold at prices standard to most college bookstore operations. Used books are purchased at specified times at standard prices. Books and
other items are sold on a cash basis or charged only to an approved student grant.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Cooperative Education integrates formal academic study with special periods of
practical work experience in business, industrial, governmental, professional or
service organizations. Work experiences are related as closely as possible to the
student’s major field of study and are generally diversified in order to provide a
broad range of involvement within each chosen area of interest.
Students from any curriculum at ICC are eligible to participate in the
Cooperative Education course; however, they must receive approval from the
Coordinator of Cooperative Education, Itawamba Community College, 2176
South Eason Blvd., Tupelo, MS 38804.
WORK-BASED LEARNING
The Work-Based Learning Program at Itawamba Community College is
designed to prepare vocational and technical students for careers in the modern
workplace. The program complements classroom instruction (occupational and
academic) with structured learning experiences at a work site related to the student’s program of study. The WBL Coordinator works with students to ensure the
school-based classes and the work-based learning experiences bridge the gap
between school and the workplace. Students participating in WBL receive technical credit.
93
To apply for Work-Based Learning, students should contact the Work-Based
Learning Coordinator, Itawamba Community College, 2176 South Eason
Boulevard, Tupelo, MS 38804.

sequences — Calculus I, II, IV-A and Calculus I-A, II-A, III-A and IV-A. The
material covered in the two sequences is the same; only the rate is different.
Students who must take MAT 1313 and/or MAT 1323 in the fall semester of the
freshman year should substitute the three course sequence Calculus I, II and IVA for the four-course sequence listed above, starting in the spring semester of the
freshman year.
NOTE: The curriculum may vary slightly according to the transfer university
and particular field of engineering. Students should consult with an engineering
adviser for appropriate counsel prior to choosing specific courses.

RESPIRATORY CARE TECHNOLOGY
(RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONER)
Fulton Campus
Respiratory Care Practitioners (Respiratory Therapists) are involved in
the delivery of life-saving and life-supporting care to persons suffering from
heart and lung disorders. RCPs are responsible for initiating cardiopulmonary
resuscitation and the setup and monitoring of all life support systems. In addition
to life support measures, RCPs provide treatment for various heart and lung disorders by administering inhalation treatments, oxygen and drugs.
Members of this dynamic profession also perform diagnostic tests that aid
the physician in determining the presence and extent of cardiopulmonary disease. RCPs conduct pulmonary function studies, draw and analyze blood samples, perform electrocardiograms (ECGs), exercise stress tests and sleep studies.
RCPs practice in hospitals, clinics, home care settings and home management
and education positions.
A typical workday might find the Respiratory Care Practitioner:
* Inserting an endotracheal tube into the lung of someone who has
stopped breathing.
* In the emergency room connecting a drug overdose victim to a life
support system.
* Placing a premature newborn infant under oxygen and using a needle
to remove blood from the infant to assess blood oxygen levels.
* Administering inhalation drugs to an elderly person with
emphysema.
* Conducting an exercise test and performing an EKG on someone
who has been complaining of chest pain.
Upon completion of the two-year curriculum, the student will be awarded an Associate of Applied Science degree in Respiratory Care. The graduate will
then be eligible to take the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) entrylevel certification exam (CRT) and the NBRC Advanced Practitioner (RRT)
exam.
Admission Process
Entrance into the Respiratory Therapy program is by way of the
Admissions Committee. The committee has the responsibility of screening qualified program applicants who have submitted the required records and credentials prior to the published deadline. From the applicants presenting themselves
for consideration, the committee selects those individuals judged to be most like183
ly to achieve success.

NON-CREDIT EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The Workforce and Education Act of 1994 created a paradigm of service for Mississippi’s employers and workforce participants. The legislation provided for the creation and development of regionally based systems for non-credit education and training that can respond to Mississippi’s workforce and
employer needs in a timely, well-coordinated fashion while maximizing the use
of resources.
The act established a State Workforce Development Council composed
of 15 member District Workforce Development Councils affiliated with each
of Mississippi’s 15 community and junior colleges and Wo r k f o rc e
Development Centers designed to meet almost any workforce assessment,
training or placement services need. Perhaps more importantly, it promotes the
collaboration with and among agencies and entities to increase the system’s
potential for corporate training at a time when it is needed most.
Itawamba Community College is a participant in this service to business,
industry and government. The sections that follow describe the non-credit programs and services available from ICC and delivered through its Workforce
Development Center.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING DIVISION
SERVICES
Tupelo Campus
Pre-Employment Assistance
The Workforce Development Center staff members help business and industry
with pre-employment activities. This may involve recruiting, testing and training
of prospective employees (provided such activities may be conducted in large
enough groups). Pre-employment activities can be customized to a particular
business or industry’s needs.
Customized Training
Customized training is used to describe training unique to a given business
or industry. Itawamba Community College provides training to meet a broad
range of workforce development and continuous improvement needs. This training can take any form and can be crafted around resources available from the
business or industry, vendors, the College and/or other sources. Training is provided when specific skills need to be developed, improved or enriched for production or technological advances. These training programs prepare individuals
for advancements in responsibility or changes in job classifications.
201
Retraining and upgrade training cover a wide variety of areas and are usually
unique from industry to industry. Instruction can be designed and structured for
delivery at any time, any day of the week at almost any site.
A majority of training usually takes place in-plant. However, classrooms
and laboratories are available at the College to assist in developing cognitive and
psychomotor skills in an academic environment. Apprenticeship training needs
are usually accommodated with this type of instruction.
Leadership Skills Program
ICC’s Leadership Skills Program offers training designed to put supervisors and
general employees in closer touch with work groups. Both professional and customized materials are used in the delivery of training to precisely address the
leadership skills one wants to develop. Ziglar Training Systems, Achieve Global,
Vital Learning, Phi Theta Kappa and Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
are examples of the professional training systems used.
Computer Skills Program
ICC’s Computer Skills program offers a wide variety of training designed to
enhance student performance in the use of various computer applications. For
some applications, both comprehensive and advanced classes are offered. Typical
class offerings include the entire set of Microsoft applications (Word, Excel,
Access, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project, etc.). In addition, more advanced applications such as SQL and Crystal Reports are becoming more familiar to the schedule. All of these courses utilize hands-on, instructor guided curricula and provide
a very comfortable learning environment for students. Public classes are offered
throughout the year on ICC’s Tupelo campus. In addition, training can be provided on-site at the plant location (provided that the company is equipped with the
training space and equipment.)
Advanced Technology Training
The Workforce Development Center offers open enrollment non-credit courses of
study in a variety of advanced manufacturing-related technologies. These courses are typically short-term and intensified in format.
Tax Credit for Training Assistance
Mississippi law provides for employer income tax credit for certain employee
training programs. Workforce Development Center staff can provide a copy of
this code to interested companies. However, should a company decide to pursue
the usage of the tax credit, it is the responsibility of that company to maintain all
documentation relative to the auditing of such credit. Qualified training programs
include basic academic skills training in reading, writing and mathematics up to
202
the twelfth grade level and retraining programs that lead toward opportunities for
employee advancement. This training must be certified through one of Mississippi’s
15 community colleges.
