WELCOME
Welcome to the Basic Skills Program at Wayne Community
College! We are so glad that you decided to choose our
institution to realize your educational success. How would
you define success? Would it be how much money you
have in the bank? Would it be your job title or position in an
organization? Does success hinge upon “the wheels of the car
you drive?” Today, let’s agree that one measure for success is
the completion of the GED or Adult High School program.
Think about the benefits of obtaining your High School
Diploma or GED. By obtaining this level of educational success,
you are opening the door to post-secondary education. Over 95
percent of two-year colleges and four-year universities accept
a GED for enrollment. GED and high school graduates earn
over $7,400 more a year than those without … Wow! A world of
opportunity exists for those who are willing to put in the time.
There are many successful people by today’s standards
who got their start by receiving their GED. Comedian Dr. Bill
Cosby, Olympic Gold Medalist Mary Lou Retton, television
personality Michael J. Fox, singers Fantasia and Brittany
Spears, and boxer Oscar de la Hoya. By enrolling, you have
begun your journey towards success. You have taken the
first step on this journey. Stay the course until the journey is
completed. There is no limit to what you can do. The faculty
and staff of the Basic Skills Program and Continuing Education
Programs at Wayne Community College are here to help you
achieve your goals in your journey to SUCCESS!!
Renita D. Allen Dawson, Associate Vice President
Continuing Education Services
We are just coming off one of our most successful years
ever. More than 300 students earned their General Educational
Development (GED) Diploma here at Wayne Community
College! In addition to that, more than 40 students earned
their Adult High School Diploma. Many of these graduates
did not stop there. They are continuing with their education by
taking college and Continuing Education courses. New studies
are showing that a high school credential is just not enough
anymore. A two-year degree can dramatically increase your
chances of obtaining a job and a higher paying job, sometimes
by several thousand dollars per year. We are here to assist
you with earning your high school credential and with entering
a program of higher education. You will have instructors,
advisors, coordinators, a career and transition coach, and a
director at your call, so take advantage and begin your journey
of lifelong learning to make a better life for you and your family.
The upcoming year will have many changes and we ask
for your patience as we put new curriculum and new tests
in place. The GED as we now know it will change effective
January 1, 2014. What that change will be, as of this printing,
we do not know. The State of North Carolina is in the midst of
negotiations and decisions. As we learn about them, we will
guide you through these changes with our skilled and dedicated
instructors and staff. We have goals and expectations of
another successful year!

ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAMS
PLACEMENT TESTS
Prior to entrance into the High School Program or GED Program, all students must attend
orientation and take the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment (CASAS) Placement Test.
•
•
Students must score a minimum requirement of 236 on the C-Level CASAS in both Math
and Reading in order to enter the AHS/GED Curriculum.
All AHS diploma-seeking students must also score a minimum requirement of a 246 on the
CASAS and pass a writing assessment and computer assessment, in order to exit the AHS
program with a diploma.
If minimum CASAS testing requirements are not met, students will be registered in an ABE class
to improve skills. All students must be tested a minimum of twice per year.
ABE (ADULT BASIC EDUCATION)
The purpose of the ABE curriculum is to provide the foundation of basic skills needed to function
in today’s society. By focusing on basic reading and math skills, the ABE curriculum explores ways
to enhance job performance, parenting skills, self esteem and critical thinking skills. ABE provides
basic review and/or teaches those skills that may have been missed. The ABE curriculum also
provides preparation for AHS or GED.
Students who place into ABE take a math and a reading class. Classes are 1.5 hours, Monday
through Friday or Monday through Thursday.
ABE Math Classes*
ABE Reading Classes*
•Whole Numbers
•Geometry •STAR

GED (GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT)
The GED Test assesses knowledge of reading, social studies, science,
mathematics, writing and communication skills on a high school

Minors may enroll for the GED if granted a waiver.
A GED diploma is accepted at 98 percent of the colleges and universities
across the country as proof that the student has completed a high school education.
Students must obtain a minimum 246 on both the Math and Reading CASAS to advance to the
GED Practice Test. If the minimum score is not achieved, the student must complete practice
Page 2
work. Students must obtain a minimum 500 on each practice test to take the official GED test. If
the minimum score is not achieved, the student must complete more GED practice work. Students
must obtain a minimum 410 on each official test, and a minimum average score of 450 on each
test for a total score of 2250 or more to pass the official GED Test. The GED tests will change in

Several electives are available
A minimum of 10 credits, five being core courses, must be transferred in to be eligible for the AHS
program. Although students may already have 21 units of credit from a previous public or private
school, it does not necessarily mean all courses are transferable to the AHS program.
A minimum of two courses must be completed at WCC in order to earn a WCC AHS diploma.
Classes are offered on campus in traditional classroom settings and as hybrid classes and meet
year round.
NUMBER OF COURSES PER SEMESTER
It is usually recommended that students enroll in no more than four AHS courses per semester.
Attendance or academic issues may prevent a student from being enrolled in more than two
courses at any given time.
MAKE-UP WORK
Students are responsible for all work missed when absent from school. Immediately upon
returning to school, students must make arrangements with each of their instructors to make up
Page 3
all missed assignments and tests. Individual instructors will designate time limits and deadlines for
their classroom assignments and tests.
INCOMPLETES
Receiving an incomplete allows students to finish remaining course work by a set deadline. The
incomplete must be cleared by the deadline specified by the individual instructor. If a course is not
completed by the deadline, an “F” will be recorded on the student’s transcript.
WITHDRAWALS
Withdrawals from an AHS class without notifying the instructor and/or advisor may result in a
grade of “F.”
Students wishing to withdraw from Online classes must first meet with their online instructor
followed by a meeting with their advisor.
APPEAL OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADES
Students may appeal the final grade of a course. This may be done when a student believes that
his/her performance has been incorrectly or inappropriately evaluated by the instructor.
Students should first appeal with the instructor within three business days of the end of class. If a
resolution is not reached, the appeals process will continue next to the Director of Basic Skills and
then to the Associate Vice President of Continuing Education Services.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
The Adult High School Program of WCC is proud to have an Honors Program. Students who have
exhibited outstanding academic achievements in their High School coursework while at WCC will
be eligible for the Scholar’s List and the Honor’s List each semester.

CRC, but are not required to do so.
The North Carolina Career Readiness
Certification (CRC) is an assessment-based
credential that gives employers and career
seekers a uniform measure of key workplace
skills, that is accepted in all states.
Employers are increasingly concerned with ensuring that both potential and current employees
have the skills necessary in today’s workplace.
AHS students will receive elective credit for completing the CRC. The letter grade awarded will be
based on the student’s test score. Gold = “A” Silver = “B” Bronze = “C”
COMPUTER BASED INSTRUCTION (CBI)
Computer Based Instruction (CBI) is provided through several different methods and is accessible
to all students. CBI is an interactive approach in which the computer assists the instructor by
providing students with courseware that gives instruction and immediate feedback based on the
student’s response.
CBI is provided through classroom netbooks, classroom Smart Boards, and the Computer
Assisted Training (CAT) Lab. An instructor or advisor may refer a student to the CAT lab to work
on specific skills, areas of weakness, or take an Adult High School course. Students are required
to meet with the facilitating instructor before
starting CBI courseware.
CBI can be accessed through the Wayne
Community College Web site at http://www.
waynecc.edu/continuing-ed/index.php/basicskills-current-students/. Your instructor will give
you a log-in name and password. Each program
located at this Web site has “Frequently Asked
Questions and Instructions” to click on if you

ACADEMICS AND PROGRESSION
ABILITY TO BENEFIT
This policy establishes the guidelines and standards for participants in the Basic Skills Program.
All interested applicants may be admitted in the program by successfully completing one of the
following pre-tests which have been approved by the United States Department of Education:
Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System Life & Work or Comprehensive Adult Student
Assessment System Employability Comprehensive System (CASAS). Students unable to
successfully complete the pre-test will be admitted to the program at a future date once they are
able to successfully complete the pre-test.
Students who are admitted into the WCC Basic Skills Program must make progress and maintain
regular attendance in order to remain in the program. After one year of failure to make progress,
students are placed on Academic Probation and receive academic counseling. After two years of
failure to make progress, students may be dropped from the program and may be referred to an
appropriate agency.
Page 6
Progress is defined as regular attendance and advancement as described in at least one of the
following measures.
• An Adult Basic Education or English as a Second Language student must successfully
advance a minimum of one CASAS post-test level per semester.
• A GED student must pass a minimum of one Official GED test per semester.
• An Adult High School student must pass a minimum of 50 percent of courses taken per
semester.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students who fail to progress may be placed on academic probation. Students may be placed on
a six-month academic probation for:
• Lack of daily progress.
• Not completing a level of reading or math in a semester.
• Failure of 50 percent or more of Adult High School courses.
• Failure of GED level students to pass at least two Official Practice Tests.
CONDITIONS OF ACADEMIC PROBATION/SUSPENSION
Goal plans will be developed for individual academic success. These goals must be accomplished
during the semester as requirements of academic probation. In some circumstances failure to
obtain the goal set by the instructor during a probationary period may result in suspension for
six months, unless circumstances designated by an instructor dictate otherwise. Upon returning
from academic suspension, the student will be placed back on probation and given conditions and
goals to meet. A course that has been failed two times cannot be taken again for a period of six
months.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
The Wayne Community College Basic Skills Program
expects students to gain skills, competencies and an
awareness of a workplace ethic which emphasizes
responsibility and commitment. Regular attendance
is the students’ responsibility and is important to
academic achievement.
The Basic Skills Program believes that when students
attend class regularly they are demonstrating
responsibility and commitment to their education.
CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE
Students must show up for class by the second class period in order to enter a high school
class or a reading or math module. Although pre-registered, students are not officially registered
until they attend the class on the first or second day. In case of absences, students are required
to make up work assigned by the instructor’s deadline. Tardiness and leaving class early are
disruptive for the instructor and for other students, and should be avoided.
A student who regularly attends class has a much better chance of successfully completing the
class. Habitual absences may place a student in jeopardy of failure and of enrolling in future
classes.
Page 7
ONLINE ATTENDANCE
AHS, GED, or ABE students must log 10 hours per week and have evidence of work shown on the
weekly computer report. Students must also meet the campus hours set by their instructor at the
beginning of the semester. Failure to meet these hours will result in being disconnected and/or a
grade of “I” or “F” for a high school course.
AHS students’ failure to meet the attendance hours will result in students being pulled until the
following academic session and receiving a grade of “I” (incomplete). They must complete the
course by the end of the returning academic session.
ATTENDANCE COMMITTEE
Instructors may refer students who miss class excessively to the Attendance Committee. This
committee shall review the student’s attendance history and other academic factors and decide
if there are circumstances to warrant a student continuing classroom classes. Students must
provide documentation for reasons of excessive absences. These could be due to a death in the
immediate family (immediate family is defined as: spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent or
grandchild), illness resulting in student’s hospitalization, (physician’s medical documentation), or
obtaining a job. Other reasons may or may not be evaluated. Only one appeal is allowed per 16week semester. The committee shall make a recommendation to the Program Director regarding
the student’s attendance.

STUDENT SERVICES
COUNSELING
Advisors are available in Student Services (Walnut Building, Room 220) to assist you. We urge
you to take advantage of these services. You may need to discuss your goals, or concerns about
managing your job, family, and school. If you need to change your schedule, or just need to talk,
you may call and set up an appointment to assure your advisor is available when you arrive. You
may come to Student Services and ask to see your advisor even without an appointment.
WCC BOOKSTORE
The WCC Bookstore is located on the ground floor of the Wayne Learning Center. Books,
supplies and graduation attire may be purchased at the bookstore.
LIBRARY
The WCC Library is located on the third floor of the Wayne Learning Center. All students are
invited to use the library. Your ID card is used to check out books. Newspapers, reference books,
magazines, journals, and a variety of other services are available from the WCC Library. Unpaid
fees for overdue materials may prevent you from registering for courses.
ID CARDS
New students are initially issued a temporary ID card. All Basic Skills Department students are
required to purchase a picture ID card within one week after registration.
HOW TO GET YOUR ID
• Take $3.00 and your temporary ID card to the cashier’s office on the first
floor of the Dogwood Building, under the sign indicating SOUTH entrance.
• You must purchase student insurance at this time. ($1.25)
• The cashier will issue a receipt that you must present to have your picture taken.
• Pictures are made in the WLC building, first floor in the Student Activities Office, Room 145.
• Each semester your ID card must be updated at the time of registration. This validation will
cost $1.00 and may be purchased at the Cashier’s office in the Dogwood Building. Students
are required to purchase student insurance each semester for $1.25.
All students must have an ID card by the beginning of the second week after registration. You will
not be permitted back into your class until the ID is obtained. Your ID card should be worn on your
person at all times while on campus.
PARKING
Campus parking requires a parking decal to be displayed on the left rear window of your vehicle.
The $2.00 fee for a parking decal may be paid at the cashier’s office on the first floor of the
Dogwood building. Then the receipt should be taken to the Student Activities Office in Wayne
Learning Center, Room 145 to pick up a decal. They are valid for one year (September 1 - August
31).
ACCIDENT INSURANCE
All students are required to purchase accident insurance each semester. The insurance costs
$1.25 per semester. It is purchased at the same time your student ID card and parking decals are
purchased or when you update our sticker.
Page 13
CAFETERIA
The cafeteria in the WLC building serves breakfast and lunch. Cafeteria hours are Monday
through Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and Friday, 7:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. (Summer hours may vary.)
BREAK ROOM
The Walnut Building has a student break room located at the entrance on the second floor.
Students may purchase drinks and snacks during break time.
E-MAIL AND WEBADVISOR
WCC is currently changing some of the technology services it provides to students. One major
change is that the college will no longer use the Campus Cruiser portal. Previously, students
would login to Campus Cruiser and use WebAdvisor to register for classes, check grades, etc.
Students would also check their WCC e-mail through Campus Cruiser.
WCC has partnered with Google for both student and employee e-mail through Google Apps for
Education. If you have ever used Gmail, you’ll find your student email very familiar. You will also
have access to many of the Google Apps for Education, such as Google Drive, Google Docs,
Hangout, and more.
Access e-mail - To access these services, go to www.waynecc.edu and click on Student E-mail or
WebAdvisor in the right-side navigation.
More Information - For more information about these technology services, visit www.waynecc.
edu/services.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL QUESTIONS
1. Where do I purchase my cap and gown for graduation?
ANSWER: You can purchase your cap and gown for graduation at the WCC campus
bookstore, located in the WLC building, on the first floor.
2. Is transportation provided?
ANSWER: No, but Gateway buses stop on campus between 5:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.
3. Can I go into the military with an AHS diploma or GED?
ANSWER: The military accepts an AHS diploma, and the GED with restrictions. Check with
your recruiter for details.
4. Can I go to college with an AHS diploma or GED?
ANSWER: Community colleges accept either AHS or GED diplomas. There may be other
admission criteria such as GPA minimal Compass, ACT, or SAT placement test scores.
Four-year colleges may have additional admission requirements.
5. What is the difference between a GED and an AHS diploma?
ANSWER: The GED diploma is awarded after a student passes a five-part test that shows
high school equivalency in language arts reading, writing, science, social studies and math.
An AHS diploma is awarded after a student passes a specific number of high school
classes showing competency in content areas of literature, math, social studies, science,
health and elective study. The time it takes to earn either diploma will depend on placement
test scores, number of credits transferred, life experience and effort put into the process.
The GED test will change in January, 2014.
ADULT HIGH SCHOOL
1. How long will it take to graduate?
ANSWER: The requirements for each student will vary. The time it takes to finish depends
upon the number of credits needed and the number of classes taken per semester. An
advisor will help with scheduling.
2. What is the cost of the high school books?
ANSWER: Many AHS books are furnished by the department and do not need to be
purchased. If the book is not furnished it must be purchased by the student. The cost of
books varies with the course that is taken.
3. Can I take all of my high school classes online?
ANSWER: At this time some classes can be taken online as a hybrid with instructor
assistance, but there are a few classes that are better taken in the classroom. An advisor
can assist with choosing the proper venue.
4. Why do I need to take a post test and have a score of 246 before I graduate?
ANSWER: Basic Skills test procedures are governed by the U.S. Department of Education.
The CASAS score of 246 means that you are at a 12.9 level and ready for college.
5. Why do I need to get a CRC?
ANSWER: Community college AHS programs are monitored by the local public school
system and the U.S. Department of Education. Wayne County Public Schools require the
CRC; therefore it is a requirement in the Wayne Community College Adult High School.
Many employers in our area are now requiring the CRC as a condition of employment.
Page 15
GED
1. What are the scores required for completion?
ANSWER: Examinees must score a minimum of 410 points out of 800 possible points on
each of the five tests. To be awarded a GED diploma, a total of 2250 total points must be
achieved on the five tests. All GED information is subject to change January, 2014.
2. Does that mean I can pass all five tests and still not be awarded a GED?
ANSWER: Yes. You must achieve a total of 2250 points to be awarded the diploma.
3. How many times can I retake the test if I do not score enough points?
ANSWER: You can retake the tests as many times as you like, but you can only take an
individual subject matter test a total of three times in each calendar year. For example,
if you need to retake the reading test to get more points or because you did not pass it, you
can retake it two more times before December 31 of that calendar year and then must wait
until January 1 of the next calendar year to take it again.
4. What do I need to bring with me to testing?
ANSWER: You must bring a valid picture ID, correct testing fee, and your testing referral
card. The ID must be a current picture ID that displays your picture, name, signature, birth
date and address. The ID cannot be outdated and can be a driver’s license, passport,
military ID or other current valid picture ID document issued by a state, federal or foreign
national authority.
5. How long do I have to complete my testing?
ANSWER: Test scores are valid until the whole test set is reissued. The test wil be
reissued in 2014, so you have until that time to complete all five. If you have not completed
your GED by the new GED release, you will have to retake all five tests in the new more
rigorous format.
6. If I have taken the tests before, how do I get the tests results?
ANSWER: If you have taken the tests since 2002 in the state of NC, we can look up your
scores. If you took them before 2002 but did not complete your GED at that time, your
previous scores are no longer valid and you must retake all five tests. If you took the tests
in another state or US territory since 2002 you must provide us with a copy of the transcript
issued by that state showing the test scores and complete a new Demographics form that
we will provide to you showing an NC address and we can request that the GEDTS transfer
the scores to your NC testing record. Ask in Basic Skills for information about accessing
your scores via the Internet. Transcripts for NC tests are obtained from the NC Community
College System GED Office.
7. What do I need to do to get my diploma if I have completed my GED?
ANSWER: As soon as you pass your last official test to earn your GED, the diploma and a
copy of the transcript will be printed and mailed to the address in your testing record. If you
need more copies for any reason, you must fill out a request for a transcript with an original
signature and mail it to the NC Community College System Office. A transcript request form
is on page 12. Fill out the form, sign it and mail it to the address shown on the form.
WEATHER AND OTHER CONDITIONS
When inclement weather threatens, the President of the College or her designee will make any
necessary decisions to cancel classes, delay classes, or totally close the College and all its
operations. The decision will be announced on campus e-mail/communication systems, area
radio and television stations, and the college Web site. Every attempt will be made to have the
Page 16
announcement published by 6:00 a.m. on the day of the closing or delay. If the College is already
operating when inclement weather forces such a decision, college-wide e-mail and text message
via the WCC Emergency System will be used, as well as other campus communications and
public media, to announce the decision.
Decisions regarding closings and delays will be made on a day-to-day basis, taking into
consideration local conditions as well as weather forecasts. Often, decisions about evening
classes are made independently. In those cases, every attempt is made to announce decisions by
3:30 p.m. If the main campus is closed, all off-campus sites are closed.
If classes are delayed, the announcement will state the time the College will open. In times of
inclement weather, radio and television stations will normally only make announcements about
delays or cancellations. Therefore, the absence of an announcement means that the College is
operating on a normal schedule.
Course content missed due to the College closing will be made up through outside assignments or
rescheduled classes and will be communicated to students electronically or when classes resume.
Make-up assignments must be equivalent to the material that would have been covered during the
missed class(es) and must be approved by the appropriate instructional supervisor.

REFUND POLICY FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION SERVICES COURSES
The refund policy for Continuing Education Services courses, as established by the N.C. General Assembly, allows a 75 percent
refund, after the respective class begins, upon the request of the student if the student officially withdraws from the class prior to or
on the 10 percent point of the scheduled hours of the class.
A 100 percent refund, shall be made if the student officially withdraws prior to the first day of class of the academic semester or
term as noted in the college calendar. Also, a student is eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class, in which the student is officially
registered is cancelled due to the insufficient enrollment.
There are no refunds for self-supporting classes. Under this policy, the college shall notify the student of the right to receive a refund
at the time of official withdrawal.
OCCUPATIONAL EXTENSION COURSE REPETITION POLICY
A special provision of North Carolina’s General Statutes concerning class repetition became effective September 1993. Under
that provision, a student who takes an occupational class more than twice is required to pay a fee to be determined using the
computation below. For example, the first and second time a student takes an occupational extension class, the fee will be based on
the sliding fee scales provided in our course schedule. The third and subsequent times will be based on the number of hours that the
class meets multiplied by the fee set by the North Carolina General Assembly. (See course schedule for applicable fee.) Charges
are subject to change based on budget. North Carolina senior citizens (65 or older), who are eligible to take classes free of charge,
will also be required to pay for classes they take more than twice.
Students are primarily responsible for monitoring class repetitions; however, the colleges shall review records and charge students
full cost for classes taken more than twice.
Students are exempt from this policy if class repetition is required for certification, recertification, or licensure.
For more information about our graduation rates, the median debt of students who completed the program, and other important information, please visit our website at http://waynecc.edu/gainful-employment/.
