Craven Community College participates within the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
(CAA). The CAA is a pact between North Carolina's university system and its community
colleges that provides smooth transfer of students between the two systems. Students can
transfer individual courses, the 44-hour general education core, or the completed associate
degree. The CAA provides certain assurances to the transferring student:
It identifies community college courses that are appropriate for transfer as electives, to satisfy
the general education core, or as pre-professional courses. If taken at a North Carolina
community college, these courses will transfer, if you complete the course with a grade of
"C" or higher.
It provides for a 44-semester hour general education core which, if completed at the
community college, is fully transferable to the university and which replaces the university's
general education core classes. You will not be required to take other general education
classes at the university, even if the 44-hour core you bring with you does not completely
match the university.
6
__________________________________________________________________________
The CAA guarantees junior status and 64 semester hours of credit to transfer students
accepted to the university if those students have earned the Associate in Arts or Associate in
Science degree.
The CAA guarantees admission to one of the 16 UNC institutions, although not to a specific
campus or to a specific program or major.

Briefly describe the administrative lines of authority between this site and the main
campus (also attach an organizational chart):
The Dean of the Havelock Campus has administrative oversight (curriculum as well as
continuing education) for both the Havelock Campus and the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air
Station operations of the college. He is supervised by the Executive Vice President & Chief
Academic Officer, who reports to the President of Craven Community College. The President
serves at the pleasure of a 12-member Board of Trustees. Craven Community College is one of
58 colleges within the North Carolina Community College system.
History
Give a brief history of the educational program at this site:
Craven Community College (CCC) began offering classes in eastern Craven County for Marine
Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point Marines, their dependants, as well as for the civilian
employees of MCAS and the Naval Air Rework Facility (now Fleet Readiness Center-East)
since 1965. In 1965-1966, our records indicate that seven continuing education classes were
offered in the Havelock-Cherry Point servicing area. CCC initially established storefront
operations in Havelock in 1969. In December 1973, an office was opened at the Joint Education
Center of MCAS Cherry Point. Students (Marines, dependant, civilian employees) were able to
take classes on the new campus in New Bern, as well as, at public school facilitates in Havelock
(Havelock High School). In 1984, CCC leased property at East Plaza Professional Center in
Havelock. The store front operation allowed the college to expand its offerings in electronics,
computers, and cosmetology as well as for college transfer.
In 1993, CCC moved the original Cherry Point office to the new Jerry W. Marvel Training and
Education Center (EDTR) which is also located aboard MCAS Cherry Point. Today, CCC has
its own computer laboratory within this building and also uses several classrooms for lunchtime
offerings.
In January 2004, CCC opened its 24-acre Havelock campus facility with three buildings: the
Public Library, the Lewis R. Redd Building (curriculum/continuing education
classrooms/laboratories), and the Institute of Aeronautical Technology (IAT) building. The
Havelock campus provides general educational requirements for most degrees offered through
CCC, as well as offering the Aviation Systems Technology program in which students, upon
completion, should be able to pass both the written as well as practical examinations for their
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airframe and Power plant licensure.
In Spring 2007, Craven Community launched University Connections. Located on the Havelock
campus, University Connections is a partnership with East Carolina University and North
Carolina State University to provide area students with additional access to dual (associate's and
bachelor's) degrees. The University Connections initiative is headquartered at Craven's Institute
10
__________________________________________________________________________
of Aeronautical Technology. As part of the initiative, representatives from both ECU and NCSU
are housed on-site to help with advising.
East Carolina University, through the University Connections partnership, currently offers the
following seventeen online programs for students.

North Carolina State University (NCSU) through the University Connections partnership
currently offers two options for prospective engineer students. The first option is the 2+2
Engineering program. The 2+2 Engineering program provides CCC students who complete their
freshman and sophomore level engineering courses successfully (3.5 or better Grade Point
Average in upper level math and science) direct admission into NCUS’s engineering program in
Raleigh, North Carolina. The second option is NCSU’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering
(BSE) with the emphasis in mechanical engineering. The BSE enable Craven Community
College students the opportunity to complete all four years of the BSE at both the Havelock and
New Bern campus without attending NCSU’s main campus.
Both the Havelock and Cherry Point locations of CCC provide a full range of student services
including: Admissions, Advising, Registration (online registration via Web Advisor began with
the summer 09 semester), Financial Aid Counseling, and a book store during the first two weeks
11
__________________________________________________________________________
of each semester. In addition to curriculum classes at Cherry Point, CCC provides continuing
educational training to FRC-E employees, military commands (to include the service member as
well as their dependents), and other employees of the base.
The main campus, located in New Bern, opened in 1971 and is located 22 miles from the main
gate of MCAS Cherry Point, and since the inception has expanded to ten buildings. In the early
1990’s, CCC began offering distance education classes through the telecourse format. In 1998,
CCC offered its first Internet courses. Internet courses have been very popular with Marines and
their dependents in the Cherry Point community.

level Math and English with a grade of C or better. The Placement Test assesses students’
readiness for college-level courses by evaluating their reading, writing and mathematics skills.

Studies coursework is based upon (1) scores on the COMPASS test taken during the admissions
process, (2) referral by instructors, or (3) student request. If a student’s placement test results

special advising concerning specific course selection. The College Placement Test is
computerized and un-timed. Students may retake the test once during a six month period for a

contacting the Academic Skills Center to arrange for special accommodations. For students
required to take developmental courses, federal aid funds will only pay for 30 credits attempted
of developmental study. Developmental coursework and accepted transfer credits are not
calculated in the CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) toward a degree, diploma, or
certificate. The numbers 050-099 are assigned to developmental courses.

competencies; demonstrate the ability to assess cultural/artistic merit and significance;
demonstrate a familiarity with the relationship between the individual and society; demonstrate
basic computer skills; demonstrate the ability to collect, interpret, and draw conclusions from
data using the scientific method. These skills are demonstrated and applied in subsequent
coursework that the student completes with CCC. For college transfer programs, a faculty
advisor specializing in transfer requirements maintains currency within University program
requirements as well as capabilities for ensuring these requirements are met in the coursework.
Each Associate in Applied Science Degree program has an Advisory Committee that reviews
annually the program of study compared to the needs in the field. Committees recommend
additional areas for courses and course competencies within courses, based on changes in various
industry and corporate focus.
As of 1997, the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) office’s reengineering

2.9: Explain the methods your institution uses to assist students in completing
degree requirements in a timely fashion. Include considerations such as
advisement, student degree contracts, course scheduling and review of remaining
requirements.
RESPONSE 2.9:
Students admitted into Craven Community College are required to meet with a college
advisor/counselor located either at the New Bern campus, Havelock Campus or Cherry Point
office. Upon completion of meeting with a counselor, students are then advised upon the
specific program of study in which they intend to complete; students are also assigned to a
Faculty Advisor; either at MCAS Cherry Point, Havelock, or New Bern depending upon the
student’s physical home address and/or preference. First time students, those who have not
completed at least 12 semester hour credits with CCC, are required to meet with their Faculty
Advisor in order to properly discuss their academic program of study and course sequence to
include all pre-requisites prior to registering for classes. After completion of their first 12 SHC,
students have the option to register online via CCC’s Web Advisor. All CCC’s program of
studies are outlined on our website in order for students to visit and review as necessary prior to
registration. Military members receive a signed advising sheet for Tuition Assistance Purposes.
Course scheduling per semester is considered paramount with CCC to ensure that students are
given an opportunity to complete their degrees within 2 years, if enrolled full-time. CCC offers a
variety of options for the student; e.g. 8 week evening classes, 8 week lunch classes (on base),
distance learning in 16, 12, or 8 week options, as well as traditional 16 week courses both day
and evening.
2.10: What opportunities, including formal instruction, do you provide for students
to demonstrate the necessary computer skills required for their programs of study?
RESPONSE 2.10:
All students at CCC are given the opportunity to complete one of several computer courses per
degree or program of study. The majority of instructors at CCC implement some type of
computer competency within their class; e.g. all English Microsoft™ Word Documents are
required to be submitted to Turnitin.com. This process requires the student to become familiar
working with attachments, internet capabilities, and the Microsoft Office package. Most
instructors utilize PowerPoint© or some other type of media support during their lecture. If the
class is distance learning, the entire course of instruction requires computer competencies.
Both the New Bern and Havelock campuses staff maintain an Academic Skills Center in order to
tutor students needing computer assistance outside of the class. Computer labs on the campuses
employ assistants to help and tutor students at no charge to the student.
In addition, curricular general education the college has established these outcomes for general
education coursework: Students should be able to demonstrate effective writing, speaking,
34
__________________________________________________________________________
listening, and nonverbal communication skills appropriate to audience, purpose, and subject;
demonstrate quantitative competencies; demonstrate the ability to assess cultural/artistic merit
and significance; demonstrate a familiarity with the relationship between the individual and
society; demonstrate basic computer skills; demonstrate the ability to collect, interpret, and draw
conclusions from data using the scientific method.
2.11: What opportunities, including formal instruction, do you provide for students
to become competent in using library technologies?
RESPONSE 2.11:
Craven Community College is responsive to the needs of students, faculty and the community
members in its instruction of the use of library and other learning services. Library staff conducts
instruction to both groups and individuals, by means of telephone, email and face to face
sessions. Library Services incorporates instruction provided by Godwin Memorial Library staff
and also the staff of the Havelock-Craven County Public Library which serves as the library for
the Havelock Campus.
A librarian or library staff person is available during operating hours to assist students, faculty,
and community members. Library staff ensures that each personal encounter is an instructional
opportunity. Librarians frequently provide instruction on using technology such as computers,
printers, microfilm, and copiers as well as library instruction.
Bibliographic Instruction
The library staff offers orientation tours and teaches classes on library skills, the online catalog,
Internet usage and searching NC LIVE (North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education). General
orientation tours are scheduled at the beginning of each semester and at the specific requests of
an instructor. Classes cover all areas of the collection and can be specialized to the needs of the
instructor and the class. Classes are conducted in the library or in classrooms. These classes use a
variety of methods including PowerPoint presentations, hands on exercises, and use of LAN
School software to replicate searches to student's individual computers. Individual instruction is
provided on request at the reference desk.
Librarians instruct faculty and staff on how to use the online catalog and NC LIVE. Librarians
are open to instructors' needs for subject specific bibliographic classes and instruction, and will
work with them in designing classes that assist students with specific assignments. Library staff
visit departmental meetings to discuss with faculty the services that the library can offer to assist
them and their students.
Each student enrolled at Craven Community College is required to take a college
orientation course (ACA 111 College Student Success, ACA 115 Success & Study Skills, or
ACA 118 College Study Skills) before graduation. Each course has a library component,
35
__________________________________________________________________________
whereby the students come to the library for a tour and instruction or a librarian visits the
classroom to demonstrate the use of the online catalog and NC LIVE.
Online Catalog
The library is part of the community college consortium called CCLINC. Patrons may view both
the library's own collection and those of other libraries within the consortium. Items may be
placed on hold from campus and from home, and also may be requested from other libraries
within the consortium.
Electronic Databases
Craven Community College provides access to the NCLIVE database collection. Off campus
students and faculty need a password for access, which can be obtained at the reference desk in
the library, by email, or from their instructor. Distance education students may get the password
by email or from their instructor.
Academic Skills Center
The Academic Skills Center provides instruction in many software programs used by students
including Blackboard, Campus Cruiser, Ace Reader, Plato, and Compass as well as other basic
software programs. The purpose of the tutoring is to help students become independent and
successful learners by assisting to develop good study skills, to increase their understanding of
course content, and to develop a positive attitude toward learning. The writing lab located within
the library provides assistance on basic computer use, proofreading, and citation writing.
Distance Education
Distance Education students have access to library reference through email and telephone
assistance. The Academic Skills Center provides orientations each semester that cover
Blackboard, the Online Financial Aid Verification Form, and Campus Cruiser. Classes are
offered at both the Havelock and New Bern campuses. For those students unable to make the
orientations, the Distance Education Handbook includes instructions on accessing and using
Blackboard, Campus Cruiser, and the Online Financial Aid Verification Form. The library
strives to make distance education students more aware of its virtual reference capabilities.
2.12: What assessment processes are used to ensure that e-learning programs
maintain the same standards as classroom-based programs?
RESPONSE 2.12:
Craven Community College Distance Learning courses underwent a comprehensive review by
the Associate Dean for Information and Learning Resources in 2007 for all e-learning courses.
Subsequently, all Deans, Department Chairs, and other college administrators, monitor online
courses to ensure that syllabi reflect the same course objectives as seated courses and that a
variety of learning experiences are used in all e-learning classes in order to engage students and
36
__________________________________________________________________________
sustain a positive learning environment. Each course undergoes a Student Opinion of Instruction
which is given to faculty after final grades have been submitted.
2.13: List your e-learning courses and specify the interaction activities available
between the instructor and students and among students.
RESPONSE 2.13:
All Distance Learning courses incorporate the following within their courses: email, threaded
asynchronous discussion, file sharing, file trends, instant messenger, and real time chat.
Successful achievement of outcomes is measured through testing, writing assessment, and
student projects. Instructors are available via telephone or email. CCC provides all students
with email Campus Cruiser accounts. Campus Cruiser provides students and instructors with
additional opportunities for emailing and file sharing. Group projects and peer editing ensure
student interaction. All students are encouraged to attend an online Blackboard orientation; this
allows the student to become familiar with the workings of Blackboard.
Instructor Interaction Requirements for Online Classes
Instructors should reply to all email or discussion board questions within 48 hours on
instructional days.
Instructors teaching 8 week courses should grade and return all assignments within 5
instructional days of due date. Instructors teaching courses longer than 8 weeks should
grade and return all assignments within 10 instructional days of the due date.
Instructors should use the Blackboard Grade Book to post grades for students so they can
easily view their progress in the course.
Instructors should use at least one form of assessment other than online quizzes or tests
which are automatically graded via Blackboard’s assessment manager. The alternative
assessment must provide feedback to the student from the instructor. This assignment
may be an essay or project.
Instructors should have interaction and communication with students that is evident in the
course. This should be accomplished by a discussion, peer editing, OR chat component in
which the faculty member participates in and/or leads regularly.

40
__________________________________________________________________________
Craven Community College publishes notices of vacancies on its official website (Job
Opportunities). The college's website, under the heading Human Resources, provides
information regarding categories of positions; how to apply for positions; where to find the
vacancy listing; and benefits at CCC. Prospective faculty and staff can access an Application for
Employment and Professional Statement forms in printable MS Word or PDF formats through
the human resources webpage under Job Application Forms.
The College follows a documented procedure for opening a vacancy announcement. Vacancies
are published in local and regional newspapers in North Carolina, as well as on the North
Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) and Employment Security Commission of North
Carolina Websites.
All full-time and adjunct faculty, who would like to instruct curriculum transfer courses, are
required to have earned a masters degree from an accredited institution in the discipline that they
would like to instruct, or hold a masters degree and 18 graduate semester hours of credit in the
discipline that they would like to instruct. If the prospective instructor does not hold a masters or
higher degree, then dependent upon their undergraduate degree, the applicant may be able to
instruct CCC’s developmental courses.
All full-time faculty positions are required to be screened by a committee that is established by
the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer who will appoint a chair as well as 4 to 6
committee members. The screening committee will then meet with all applicants and make a
recommendation to the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer who will then consider
the committee’s recommendation for a second interview. Upon completion of the second
interview with the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer, a recommendation is then
sent to the President of the college for consideration to a full-time position. The President is the
only college representative authorized by the Board of Trustees to offer full time contracts.
All adjunct faculty positions are recruited through advertising and referral. Unlike the full-time
positions, there is no screening committee; however, the department chair is responsible to
ensure that the applicant has earned the appropriate degree as outlined in paragraph one of this
answer as well as complete the certification of credentials; Database of credentials are
maintained at Human Recourses located at the Main Campus. It is important to stress that CCC
offers no guarantee of continual employment.

2.18: Describe faculty training for e-learning programs.
RESPONSE 2.18:
All Distance Education or e-learning instructors are required to attend and successfully complete
CCC’s Developing and Enhancing Online Teaching course. This must be completed prior to
teaching a web course. The course familiarizes instructors with the Blackboard program and
provides the necessary tools for an instructor to be successful teaching in the e-learning format.
Deans may waive this training requirement for new faculty who are experienced and proficient in
both Blackboard and online pedagogy. In addition, CCC, through the Center of Training and
Leadership, provides additional e-learning training for both full and part-time faculty
Guidelines for Distance Learning Courses Design and Evaluation: Courses that are offered
solely via the web (designated with a ―W‖ in the section number) should include all items in the
Distance Education Course Design Rubric (DECDR) located at
http://www.cravencc.edu/cccderubric20082009_1.rtf. Faculty are required to self-evaluate each
web course they are teaching during fall and spring and bring each course up to CCC standard
according to the DECDR (if needed). All of CCC’s web courses (―W‖ section courses) use
Blackboard as the learning management system. All Hybrid courses (―Y‖ section courses) are
required to have a web presence and use Blackboard as the learning management system. Any
newly developed web course must meet the DECDR standards. Department Chairs and Deans
have access to all full-time and adjunct faculty distance learning courses within their areas.
Department Chairs evaluate both the design and conduct of the courses, forwarding any concerns
regarding full-time faculty members’ courses to the Dean for review. Instructors should reply to
all email or discussion board questions within 48 hours on instructional days. Instructors
teaching 8 week courses should grade and return all assignments within 5 instructional days of
due date. Instructors teaching courses longer than 8 weeks should grade and return all
assignments within 10 instructional days of the due date. Instructors should use the Blackboard
Grade Book to post grades for students so they can easily view their progress in the course.
Instructors should use at least one form of assessment other than online quizzes or tests which
44
__________________________________________________________________________
are automatically graded via Blackboard’s assessment manager. The alternative assessment must
provide feedback to the student from the instructor. This assignment may be an essay or project.
2.19: What are areas of concern relating to faculty and faculty development? How
does the institution recognize installation faculty contributions and how does the
institution assist faculty members in overcoming any deficiencies?
RESPONSE 2.19:
The faculty appraisal is designed to facilitate dialogue about effective teaching, to assess the
quality and effectiveness of the faculty member and may serve as part of documentation for
personnel decisions. Craven Community College, in keeping with the North Carolina
Community College System, does not offer tenured status to faculty.
The overall appraisal of faculty draws from several inputs: faculty self appraisal; student opinion
of instruction; instructional goals accomplished; an observation of one of a variety of teaching
environments; and the Dean/Chair's assessment in the four areas of the job description (learning
environment, student advising, professional characteristics and administrative tasks).
Appraisal forms may be accessed through the Human Resources Web site and Policies and
Procedures Manual. The following are included:

Employee Appraisal Cover Sheet
Faculty Performance Appraisal

Classroom Observation Checklist
Clinical Observation Checklist
Lab Observation Checklist
Distance Education Appraisal
Full-time faculty members are evaluated annually in the Spring by the Dean of the Unit. New
faculty members are evaluated in approximately the third month during the first semester of
employment*. The appraisal form is also utilized at the supervisor's discretion for faculty about
whom there are performance concerns*.
All fulltime faculty appraisals are reviewed and signed by the Evaluator's Supervisor and
reviewed by the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic Officer to assist with internal
consistency.
Craven Community College recognizes academic excellence by selecting the institution’s
―Teacher of the Year.‖ The ―Teacher of the Year‖ is recognized at Craven Community
College’s Invocation held at the end of each spring semester. The ―Teacher of the Year‖ has the
45
__________________________________________________________________________
distinguished honor of speaking at Craven Community College’s Commencement Ceremony and
is the lead facilitator in a number of professional development activities.
Adjunct Faculty Appraisal
The responsibility for evaluating Adjunct faculty lies with the Department Chair or Dean..
Adjunct faculty members are evaluated fall and spring semester by their students using the
Student Opinion of Instruction survey and Distance Education Appraisal. Student input is
summarized and communicated to the Chair prior to the end of the semester, and to the adjunct
faculty once grades are assigned. Department Chairs also conduct classroom observations
annually for adjunct instructors.
2.20: Describe your processes for developing learning objectives and learning
assessments.
RESPONSE 2.20:
Each educational program establishes its goals through courses selected in its program of study.
Course goals, objectives, or outcomes are listed on course syllabi (see sample of NUR 130
syllabus) and are validated through successful completion of individual courses and progression
to the next course in sequence. Course outcomes are also validated through national/state
licensure and certification pass rates, program accreditation/reaffirmation (BLET), employer
satisfaction, advisory committee input, and transfer performance indicators. Through these
assessments, students' attainment of program and learning outcomes are measured, and where
weaknesses are identified, are assessed.
General Education Outcomes Assessment Process:
Using the process developed by Central Piedmont Community College as a basis, the General
Education Outcome committee identified a central learning outcome for each area in the Liberal
Arts core curriculum. Courses within each area that clearly demonstrate the outcome and are
commonly taken by students were identified.

The process used by CCC to assess General Education Outcomes:
1. Full-time faculty, with input from adjunct faculty, teaching the chosen courses develop
assessment instruments that will be administered in all sections of those courses during
the Fall semester.
2. A faculty member from each category will collect the assignments at the end of the Fall
semester and complete a standardized report to be submitted to their respective Chair by
February 15 of the Spring semester
3. The Communication, Humanities/Fine Arts, and Computer Skills reports are sent to the
Chair of Communication, Fine Arts, and Humanities to review with faculty in discipline
and suggest changes for improvement.
4. The Math, Social/Behavioral Sciences, and Natural Sciences reports are sent to the Chair
of Math, Science, and Social Sciences to review with faculty in discipline and suggest
changes for improvement.
5. The Chairs submit the reports to the Dean of Liberal Arts by March 15. The Dean will
compile the results into a summary report.
6. The Dean of Liberal Arts will send the General Education Assessment Report containing
individual outcome reports and the summary report to the Office of Planning and
Assessment by April 1.
2.21: Provide the grading policy of your institution, having it available for the site
team during their visit. Describe how your grading policy at the installation
adheres to the policy, including the consideration of grade inflation.
RESPONSE 2.21:
Adequate evaluation of students through quizzes, tests, and other evaluative means are conducted
throughout the semester as a basis for grading. Faculty members advise students of the testing
and grading procedures they plan to follow upon the first day of class via the syllabi. Procedures
used within the classroom must be consistent with the course syllabus. Departments determine
whether to use a seven-point or ten-point scale. This is a departmental decision and cannot be
made by an individual instructor. This information must be stated in the course syllabus which
should be approved by the Department Chair prior to its distribution to students. Courses in
which a student earns a grade of ―D‖ may not transfer to other institutions and for some
programs a student must earn a ―C‖ or higher grade to progress in the program or take additional

*It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor regarding work to be completed for the
removal of the “I” grade. A Grade of “I” must be removed during the first eight weeks of the
next semester or it automatically becomes an “F.” (example: Spring semester incomplete grades
must be removed no later than the first eight weeks of the next Fall semester. Associate Degree
Nursing and Practical Nursing students must remove an incomplete grade prior to the beginning
of the next semester of study.) This policy may be waived through petition to and approval of the
Executive Vice President.
2.22: List two courses from each of your programs and describe the student
assessment process used in each course.
RESPONSE 2.22:
The following excerpts are from the instructors syllabi that demonstrate the various processes for
student assessment for the individual course. Two courses are from those that are offered at this
installation PSY 150 MDA1, and ENG 111 MDA1; the other two courses are those that service
members and/or their dependents may choose to complete for their degree plan either at the New
Bern Campus, the Havelock Campus or online; BIO 111 HE1, and HEA 110 HWA1 (this is an
e-learning course).

Tests and quizzes: There is no make-up option for missed quizzes and/or the cumulative test. A
student can make up a unit test he/she missed if the instructor is notified by email or typed note
at least three hours prior to the commencement of the class during which the test is scheduled
AND the instructor determines the excuse warrants granting the make-up option. Examples of
acceptable excuses include sickness (extends to immediate family), conflict with military or
other legitimate obligations, or death/injury of a family member. A written validating note or
other certificate substantiating the reason for the missed test may be requested. Make-up tests
will be given at the convenience of the instructor, usually the return date of the student.
Labs: No written lab assignment will be accepted from any student who does not participate in
the assigned lab. Unless otherwise noted, late lab assignments will be accepted for a maximum
of two weeks from the original due date. Additionally, a late assignment will be debited 20% of
the original maximum points for each week or portion thereof it is late. An assignment will be
considered late if it is not handed in by the end of the designated class. Missed work not made up
will automatically result in a total loss of credit for the assignment.

Another initiative to be implemented spring 2010 is an initiative to provide Craven Community
College courses to the unit workspace on Technical Training Days. Marines will be offered a
variety of college transfer courses in a hybrid format. These courses will meet on the technical
training day to review and enforce material being presented and then allow the service member
to complete the rest of the work online. These courses will be offered in the 8 week format.
In addition, CCC’s 2009-2010 course catalog has been rewritten to list recommended course
sequence for all degrees offered.
Finally, Craven Community College developed and implemented an Early Alert System
designed to identify academically risk students. Instructors who have identified an academically
at risk student are to contact Student Service counselors at either the New Bern, Havelock or
Cherry Point locations. The counselors contact the student to assist and provide academic
counseling.

Management
3.1: What institutional employment policies including compensation, teaching load,
orientation, supervision, and professional development apply to faculty and staff on
the installation? How comparable are these policies to main campus policies?
RESPONSE 3.1:
Criteria for full-time and adjunct faculty do not differentiate by college location. All newly hired
full-time faculty and full-time staff will receive an orientation on their first day of employment.
This session is conducted by the Human Resources Department and will last approximately two
hours. Full-time faculty also will receive a reduced teaching load during their first fall term to
participate in a semester-long orientation academy. Staff are also required to attend the
semester-long orientation academy. The orientation program will provide new employees with
information on the structure of the college, policies and procedures, the college’s impact on its
stakeholders, college services, and best practices in the classroom. The New Employee
Orientation is designed to create a climate that supports positive interaction among employees,
encourages improved student learning, and enhances knowledge of college processes.
Full-Time Instructor Contracts: July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010
Employment contracts are determined annually in April/May. Full-time regular employees
include all employees who either have a written letter of employment from the College for a
specified contract period or are employed as full-time regular employees under an at-will
agreement with the College, under which their average workweek is to consist of 40 hours of
work. All full-time faculty contracts are for a nine-month period (Fall and Spring semesters) with
optional supplemental contracts for Summer term instruction. All full-time faculty are expected
to be distance learning proficient. All full-time faculty positions are 40 hours/week, with specific
requirements of 30 hours on campus for working with students, serving on task forces and
committees, and participating in meetings. (Faculty members in Director positions are required
to be on campus 35 hours per week.) Teaching assignments may include evening work and may
be located on both the Havelock and New Bern campuses. Regular travel to classroom locations
off campus, or between the New Bern and Havelock campuses, should be noted on the
Instructor’s Weekly Schedule and included in the required on-campus hours. The salary for fulltime faculty is based on the compensatory rate for job level 15. The current rate structure can be
55
__________________________________________________________________________
found on the website at http://www.cravencc.edu/about/policies/RateStructure.cfm. The salaries
listed on the web outline the monthly and annual (12-month) minimum, midpoint, and maximum

__________________________________________________________________________
CCC’s developmental courses. Unlike the full-time positions, there is no screening committee
however, the department chair is responsible to ensure that the applicant has earned the
appropriate degree as outlined in paragraph one of this answer as well as complete the
certification of credentials. Also, it is important to stress that CCC offers no guarantee of
continual employment.
3.2: Describe the institution’s procedures for evaluation of the content processes
and support systems involved in its learning activities.
RESPONSE 3:2:
Course syllabi list student outcomes in measurable terms, list course requirements, and identify
the grading system for the course. Instructors submit course syllabi to their department Chair for
approval. The applicable academic Dean must approve the syllabi prior to the beginning of
instruction.
To support instructional efforts, classrooms have multi-media; the college provides academic
skills centers with personal tutoring and maintains two libraries.
Annually, Craven Community College reviews its services and curriculum programs through the
institution’s Planning and Assessment Office. The service review is normally conducted in
November of each year; in 2004-05, it was moved to spring to coincide with potential questions
for the Quality Enhancement Plan identification effort. Results of the services review are used in
college's base planning and enhancement goal-setting processes. Examples of changes based on
reviews include changes in security and bookstore operations, efforts by the business office to
improve quality of service, and improvement in the online class schedule with seats-taken
updates.
The Program Review is conducted in accordance with mandate legislation stating that a
comprehensive review and examination of each Curriculum program must be completed at least
once every five years. The review is intended to go beyond normal, annual assessment processes
and to serve the College in determining long-term program effectiveness and productivity.
The official Program Review is intended to asses each indentified program with respect to
achievement of stated purpose, quality of instruction, curriculum scope and design, cost
effectiveness, student learning outcomes and contribution to the overall mission of the College.
The College's Student Affairs area reviews its offerings in accordance with the Commission for
the Advancement of Standards.
57
__________________________________________________________________________
The college's institutional advancement and academic areas have identified a plan to identify,
measure, and use outcomes to improve the quality of all Craven Community College's offerings,
whether instructional or support.
The College continually assesses programs -- not only on input and output measures -- but using
identified outcomes. College-wide determined assessment measures are applied, and results of
all assessments are used to make changes, where necessary, to further support the college's
ability to implement its mission in the community.
Data is collected and analyzed in a variety of ways between the Havelock and Cherry Point
Office. Enrollment trends of students enrolled in classes at the Cherry Point location are
captured at the beginning of class as well as at the 10% reporting date. This information is used
in order to validate course offerings at this location. Student opinion of instruction is also
analyzed for completion and performance of both the student as well as the instructor.
3.3: What are the institution’s policies on e-learning? Show how the program at the
site is consistent with these policies.
RESPONSE 3.3:
All distance educational courses have the same credit hours, same objectives, and assessment
strategies as traditional seated courses and are not indicated any differently on the students’
transcripts. Students are highly encouraged to participate with Blackboard orientation prior to
taking an online course of instruction. The college ensures that students have the proper course
prerequisites prior to enrollment in online courses.
Guidelines for Distance Learning Courses Design and Evaluation: Courses that are offered
solely via the web (designated with a ―W‖ in the section number) should include all items in the
Distance Education Course Design Rubric (DECDR) located at
http://www.cravencc.edu/cccderubric20082009_1.rtf. Faculty are required to self-evaluate each
web course they are teaching during fall and spring and bring each course up to CCC standard
according to the DECDR (if needed). All of CCC’s web courses (―W‖ section courses) use
Blackboard as the learning management system. All Hybrid courses (―Y‖ section courses) are
required to have a web presence and use Blackboard as the learning management system. Any
newly developed web course must meet the DECDR standards. Department Chairs and Deans
have access to all full-time and adjunct faculty distance learning courses within their areas.
Department Chairs evaluate both the design and conduct of the courses, forwarding any concerns
regarding full-time faculty members’ courses to the Dean for review. Instructors should reply to
all email or discussion board questions within 48 hours on instructional days. Instructors
teaching 8 week courses should grade and return all assignments within 5 instructional days of
due date. Instructors teaching courses longer than 8 weeks should grade and return all
assignments within 10 instructional days of the due date. Instructors should use the Blackboard
58
__________________________________________________________________________
Grade Book to post grades for students so they can easily view their progress in the course.
Instructors should use at least one form of assessment other than online quizzes or tests which
are automatically graded via Blackboard’s assessment manager. The alternative assessment must
provide feedback to the student from the instructor. This assignment may be an essay or project.
Military students and their dependents who register at this installation for distance education
courses are advised to ensure that they are capable of completing the courses during the allotted
time. Instructors do try to work as best they can with active duty personnel and their unexpected
orders for deployments, these students are required to complete all assigned work within the best
of their ability within the assigned time.
3.4: What provisions are there for the involvement of installation faculty in the
academic affairs of the department or college?
RESPONSE 3.4:
All faculty of Craven Community College may be involved with academic affairs. Deans and
Department Chairs recommend names annually to the Executive Vice President/Chief Academic
Officer for consideration of appointment on a number of standing committees. Faculty may
participate in a number of standing committees that include the President’s Council, President’s
Cabinet, Faculty Association, Academic Leadership Team, and the Institutional Effectiveness
Committee.
3.5: Who is responsible for institutional program administration on the
installation?
RESPONSE 3.5:
Mr. Gerald M. Boucher, Dean of the Havelock/Cherry Point Campus, through Executive Vice
President of Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer Dr. Cindy Hess’ oversight.
3.6: What oversight of the program is provided from the main campus? What is the
administrative structure on the main campus for programs offered on the
installation? Provide a current organization chart showing the relationship
between the main campus and the installation.
RESPONSE 3.6:
All programs offered to students aboard MCAS Cherry Point are overseen by the Dean of the
Havelock/Cherry Point Campus who works collaboratively with the Dean of Liberal Arts, the
Dean of Learning Support, the Dean of Continuing Education and the Dean of Career Programs.
All day-to-day operations of the programs or new initiatives for MCAS Cherry Point are
overseen by the Dean of the Havelock/Cherry Point Campus.
59
__________________________________________________________________________
The main campus curriculum programs are organized into four Learning Centers: Liberal Arts
Learning Center, Career Program Learning Center, and the Learning Support Learning Center.
The Continuing Education Learning Center is overseen by the Dean who in turn is supervised by
the Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer.
http://www.cravencc.edu/about/CollegeOrgStructure.pdf
3.7: What administration personnel are responsible for the delivery of the
program both at the installation and on the main campus?
RESPONSE 3.7:
The Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Cindy Hess is
responsible for the delivery of all programs at all Craven Community College locations. Dr.
Hess is assisted in this endeavor through the assistance of the various Learning Center Deans and
Department Chairs.
3.8: What computer support is available to the on-installation administrator to
facilitate information systems management? Identify areas where this computer
support needs to be improved.
RESPONSE 3.8:
The computer support available to the on-installation administrator is the same as the Main and
Havelock campuses. To support the on-instillation administrator, Craven Community College
provides computer support through the Learning Support Center. The Learning Support
technicians support onsite services such as: access to Blackboard; Colleague for student
information or student registration; billing of tuition assistance or MyCAA for dependent;
student placement testing; and or applicable fees for non-service members. Due to the fact that
this site utilizes a different server provider, if the server is off-line then the on-installation
administrator and assistant are unable to complete any day-to-day functions, thus the service
member or their dependent needs to travel to either the Havelock or New Bern campus for
administrative services.
3.9: What professional development activities are available to the onsite
director and other administrative personnel? How frequently do staff members
participate in professional development activities?
RESPONSE 3.9:
The following is the 2009 professional development activities schedule for faculty and staff of

__________________________________________________________________________
analyzed for completion and performance of both the student as well as the instructor. The
college does look at the various locations and the Cherry Point location is minimal cost to the
overall operational budget.
3.11: How does the institution assist the installation in the needs assessment
process?
RESPONSE 3.11:
Craven Community College assists the installation in the needs assessment process by the
completion of student opinion of instruction (SOI). The Student Opinion of Instruction is
completed by students enrolled in CCC’s courses on base. The SOIs are shared with the Base
Education Office. The SOIs provides both Craven Community College and the instillation with
information concerning the facility and instruction. CCC also participates in the Base Education
Advisory Council. The Base Education Advisory Council is the vehicle for Craven Community
College and other higher education institutions aboard Cherry Point to provide input for
continuous improve of the instillation’s facilities and services.
3.12: What are the interactions of the institutional administrative services with
those of the installation and with those of the other institutions providing
educational programs on the installation?
RESPONSE 3.12:
Craven Community College has a strong collaborative working relationship with the Cherry
Point Training and Education personnel as well as with the other institutions that provide
undergraduate education to the installation. The Cherry Point faculty advisor of CCC
63
__________________________________________________________________________
consistently works with the education office to ensure military members and their dependents
understand the various procedures and processes of CCC regarding the application process,
registering (either online or face to face), and billing. CCC’s advisor also works closely with the
other institutions to ensure that military members and their dependents are afforded the classes
needed to fulfill course requirements with the various institutions simultaneously. CCC is
currently working with Southern Illinois University to develop an articulation agreement that
enables graduates of Craven Community College’s Associates of Applied Science Aviation
System Technology degree to seamlessly transition into Southern Illinois University’s Bachelor
of Science Aviation Management program.
3.13: How does the institution assist in the development of a common
installation academic calendar and schedule of classes that accommodate the
military duties of service members?
RESPONSE 3.13:
Craven Community College’s academic calendar is proposed by the Executive Vice President of
Academic Affairs/Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Cindy Hess, and consideration is given towards
federal holidays and days of observance. Scheduling of classes is designed in part to assist and
accommodate (as much as possible) the military member. CCC offers traditional 16 week
courses, 8 week courses. Both the 16 and 8 week courses may be completed online, face to face,
at either campus or on base at a variety of times. Every effort is made to accommodate our
students while maintaining academic rigor and excellence.
3.14: How is voluntary education encouraged on the installation? How is that
influenced by the institution’s onsite director and faculty? By other institutions
serving the military population on or off the installation? By the installation
Education Services Officer? By the installation command structure?
RESPONSE 3.14:
The Education and Training personnel assists each military member by presenting educational
opportunities aboard MCAS Cherry Point. The Education and Training Office is proactive and
provides opportunities for all education providers to encourage voluntary education aboard the
installation. The Education and Training Office has established a number of education and
career fairs for active military members and their dependents throughout the year. Craven
Community College participated in three education and career fairs last year. Craven
Community College has also participated in four safety-down’s and three PMEs. Craven
Community College is currently working with Southern Illinois University to develop an
articulation agreement that enables graduates of Craven Community College’s Associates of
Applied Science Aviation System Technology degree to seamlessly transition into Southern
Illinois University’s Bachelor of Science Aviation Management program. In addition, Craven

Community College has recently been awarded the Military Academic Success Program
(MASP) by the Education Services Officer.
3.15: Is program marketing and promotion included in the MOU/ESA (or
contract)? How is marketing and promotion being conducted by the institution on
the installation?
RESPONSE 3.15:
Craven Community College’s marketing and promotion of academic and continuing educational
programs aboard MCAS Cherry Point is accomplished in many ways. CCC utilizes the
electronic marquees located throughout MCAS Cherry Point to announce registration dates,
graduation dates, as well as other special educational information for military members and their
dependents. CCC also attends the stations Welcome Aboard to discuss the various options
available to military members and their dependents; CCC also attends various safety standdown’s as well as squadron professional military education (PME) when invited by the squadron
Sergeant Major or other representative; and CCC attends and participates with the annual air
show providing brochures and handouts. CCC advertises within the station newspaper the
―Windsock‖ promoting current courses available and points of contact for more information; as
well as all residents within Craven County receive a mail copy of the current curriculum and
continuing education schedules
3.16: What initiatives are underway to strengthen administration, management,
and program marketing?
RESPONSE 3.16:
In July 2007 Craven Community College created and hired the position of Military/Civil Service
Training Coordinator. The Military/Civil Service Training Coordinator serves as the college’s
liaison in meeting the education needs of MCAS Cherry Point and Fleet Readiness Center East.
The Military/Civil Service Training Coordinator participates in community engagement efforts
with a specific focus on MCAS Cherry Point. The position promotes Craven Community
College’s academic opportunities to various tenant commands aboard MCAS Cherry Point.
In October 2008, Craven Community College hired a new President. In 2008-09, the President
established a new organizational and administrative structure. The changes to the organizational
and administrative structure strengthened the efficiency and effectiveness of Craven Community
College as a whole and addressed extreme budget challenges.
The college is organized around four major administrative ―units,‖ each of which is led by a Vice
President, as a chief administrative officer who reports directly to the President. The four units
are Academic Affairs, Administrative Services Institutional Advancement and Student Service.
65
__________________________________________________________________________
Under the leadership of the new College President, the College is currently involved in a
comprehensive Strategic Planning process that will culminate in July 2010 with a new Strategic
Plan for 2010 – 2013 with the following elements: Revised Mission Statement, Revised Vision
Statement, Revised Strategic Goals, New Institutional Core Values, Planning Analyses/Reports,
Planning Assumptions, Unit/Center/Department Mission Statements, Strategic Priorities,
Unit/Center/Department Actions.
Part of the comprehensive strategic plan was the creation of Craven Community College’s
Identity Document. The Identity Document was created as a means of expressing the essence of
what CCC is as a college community and institution and why CCC exists. The document reflects
how CCC is organized and structured and how CCC reaches and makes decisions.
To promote program marketing Craven Community College participates in a number of civic
organization such as the Havelock-Rotary Club, Military Affairs Committee, Havelock Chamber
of Commerce; and external events such as the MCAS Air Show, Havelock Chili Festival and
Craven County Public School event.
To strengthen program marketing Craven Community College created a Military Focus Group
comprised of a cross-section of faculty and staff who have direct knowledge of the military
community.. The Military Focus Group is currently in session and plans to provide marketing,
enrollment and retention recommendations to the President’s Council November 5, 2009.
3.17: How do the institutional admissions, testing, and registration policies and
procedures on the installation differ from main campus policies and procedures?
RESPONSE 3:17:
Craven Community College’s admissions, testing, and registration policies are the same
regardless of what campus the student completes this process. However, due to the unique
nature of the military member, every attempt is made (regardless of campus) to accommodate
specific needs of the military community.
66
__________________________________________________________________________
Student Services
3.18: Who are the academic advisors? What are their qualifications and
credentials? How are they trained?
RESPONSE 3.18:
Currently at Craven Community College, the primary advisors for active military and their
dependents at MCAS Cherry Point and the Havelock Campus are Mrs. Kathy Swecker, Mr.
Gerald Boucher, Mrs. Amy Derck, Ms. Pat Johnson, Mrs. Kaisy Wilkerson-Mills, Mr. Walter
Calabrese, and Mr. Shawn Moore. Faculty advise according to degree requirements for the
technical and college transfer areas. Academic advisors' qualifications are consistent with SACS
requirements.
Craven Community College has a membership with the National Academic Advising
Association or NACADA; and the concept of advising at CCC is aligned with NACADA’s
philosophy. Training for advisors is conducted as needed to address new initiatives and
programs or as refresher (such as general advising training, interpreting PLT scores, using the
STAC screen in advising, etc.)
3.19: How are students advised and how is their progress monitored?
RESPONSE 3.19:
Students aboard MCAS Cherry Point are initially advised upon admittance into the college with
a trained faculty advisor. Craven Community College’s policy for students with 12 or less
semester hour credits must meet with an advisor for scheduling of courses. After the completion
of 12 SHC, the student may enroll in classes online via WebAdvisor.
The Student Advising Center at the New Bern Campus provides information, advising, and
registration assistance for all students at the College. The Havelock campus and Cherry Point
location rely on seven advisors to assist with student advising and program completion.
Currently the Havelock campus has four general advisors and two technical degree advisors.
The Cherry Point office has one general academic advisor. All students are encouraged to
periodically visit an advisor at the New Bern, Havelock or Cherry Point locations in order to
maintain their progress towards their educational goals or to seek assistance in all aspects of the
college experience. Students are encouraged to seek the assistance of the advising staff for any
academic, career, or personal concerns that might arise. Advising sessions are confidential. It is
not necessary to make an appointment to see an advisor. In situations where counseling is
required, advisors will assist with appropriate referrals.
Instructors assist in the advising of students through the utilization of Craven Community
College’s Early Alert system. Craven Community College developed and implemented an Early
67
__________________________________________________________________________
Alert System designed to identify academically risk students. Instructors who have identified an
academically at risk student are to contact Student Service counselors at either the New Bern,
Havelock or Cherry Point locations. The counselors contact the student to assist and provide
academic counseling.
3.20: What is the relationship between the institution’s academic advisement
services and the installation’s counseling and testing services? Is that relationship
appropriate and adequate to the task? Describe why or why not.
RESPONSE 3.20:
The bulk of advising is facilitated by a trained faculty advisor at the installation office who can
interpret testing scores for proper advisement/placement into courses. If further services are
required or the attention of a counselor is needed the student is asked to make an appointment
with the counselor at the Havelock campus. In the event the student cannot arrange to meet at
the Havelock campus, the counselor will go to the Cherry Point office to meet with the student.
Craven Community College anticipates the use of E-Advising in Spring 2010.
3.21: What does the institution do to help military students complete their degrees?
RESPONSE 3.21:
Students aboard MCAS Cherry Point are initially advised upon admittance into the college with
a trained faculty advisor. Craven Community College’s policy for students with 12 or less
semester hour credits must meet with an advisor for scheduling of courses. After the completion
of 12 SHC, the student may enroll in classes and monitor program completion online via
WebAdvisor.
The Student Advising Center at the New Bern Campus provides information, advising, and
registration assistance for all students at the College. The Havelock campus and Cherry Point
location rely on seven advisors to assist with student advising and program completion. All
students are encouraged to periodically visit an advisor at the New Bern, Havelock or Cherry
Point locations in order to maintain their progress towards their educational goals or to seek
assistance in all aspects of the college experience. Students are encouraged to seek the assistance
of the advising staff for any academic, career, or personal concerns that might arise.
In addition, Craven Community College developed and implemented an Early Alert System
designed to identify academically risk students. Instructors who have identified an academically
at risk student are to contact Student Service counselors at either the New Bern, Havelock or
Cherry Point locations. The counselors contact the student to assist and provide academic
counseling.
68
__________________________________________________________________________
Both the New Bern and Havelock campuses staff an Academic Skills Center in order to tutor
students needing assistance in Math, Reading, English or other subject matter. The Academic
Skill Centers on both campuses are excellent student resources for military students to achieve
their educational goals.
Craven Community College also offers traditional 16 week courses and 8 week courses. Both
the 16 and 8 week courses may be completed either online, face to face, also courses may be
completed at either campus or on base with a variety of times to allow every opportunity possible
for the student to achieve their higher educational goals. CCC also provides access to advisors
on the New Bern, Havelock and Cherry Point office. Every effort is made to accommodate our
students while maintaining academic rigor and excellence.
The implementation of E-Advising in Spring 2010 will provide additional assistance to students.
3.22: How can academic advisement be strengthened?
RESPONSE 3.22:
There is a distinct difference between advising and registering students. Craven Community
College is placing the improvement of academic advising as a priority. A major issue faced by
Craven Community College and students in the advising and registration process is the fact that
most areas of the college are extremely busy during advising/registration times. As a result for
this Spring registration, three weeks (October 26, 2009 through November 13, 2009) have been
designated as priority advising. Students are encouraged to meet with advisors in order to
properly prepare themselves for registering for the Spring semester.
The implementation of E-Advising in Spring 2010 will provide additional assistance to students.
3.23: How does the institution advise military students regarding financial aid,
including tuition assistance, GI Bill and service kickers, Pell Grants, and other
forms of aid available to military students?
RESPONSE 3.23:
Craven Community College has a Veterans Affairs office at the New Bern Campus to assist
students with the Montgomery GI Bill and or the Post 9/11 GI Bill as well as service kicker
information. Financial aid personnel are located at the Havelock campus every Monday and
Wednesday to assist students with financial aid information, including Pell Grants and
scholarships opportunities. Printed information is always available at the installation office and
the Cherry Point advisor is able to answer basic financial aid questions. Tuition assistance is
handled through the installation education office with the student determining his/her schedule in
concordance with an advisor from CCC.
69
__________________________________________________________________________
3.24: What are the institution’s minimum acceptable scores for CLEP, DSST,
and/or ACT/PEP examinations?
RESPONSE 3.24:
Students can receive credit for college courses under the credit by examination policy. The
College recognizes and awards credit for the following testing programs:
1. APP – Advanced Placement Program
2. CLEP – College Level Examination Program
3. DSST – DANTES Subject Standardized Tests
4. IBCC - International Baccalaureate College Credit
The minimum acceptable scores for CLEP are 50 (unless otherwise stated in the course catalog);
the minimum for APP is 3; and the minimum for the IBCC is 5+ or 6+ depending upon the
subject. The College awards credit for APP, CLEP and DSST examinations based on the credit
recommendations of the American Council on Education for comparable courses it offers. A
maximum of 20 semester hours credit is allowed under the Credit by Examination Policy. Credit
will apply towards graduation requirements in the student’s program; however, quality points are
not awarded. A student desiring college credit through these programs must have the applicable
testing agency forward the examination results to the College. Credit will be awarded based upon
established criteria.
3.25: How does the institution validate traditional, nontraditional, and prior
learning credits?
RESPONSE 3.25:
Upon admission, Craven Community College will complete an evaluation of transfer credits that
may have been earned from another college or university or through advanced placement or
other examinations. Prospective transfer students must submit an official copy of transcripts
from all previous college(s) from which credits are to be considered. Only previous college
courses completed with a grade of ―C‖ (2.0) or higher will be eligible for transfer consideration.
Transfer students must complete 25% of their coursework at Craven Community College to be
eligible for graduation. Any credit earned with a grade of ―C‖ or higher at an accredited
institution will be accepted at Craven Community College provided it is appropriate to the
student’s program and a comparable course is offered. The catalog and/or course descriptions
from other institutions attended may be required for evaluation before credit is granted. Course
work over fifteen years old may not be accepted. Evaluation of such credits will be made on an
individual basis. Military members are also requested to submit their SMART transcripts for
evaluation and recommendation of credit to be awarded due to completion of service schools.
Craven Community College awards academic credit for course work taken on a noncredit basis if
proficiency in the course is evidenced. As indicated in the College Catalog on page 75 (Previous
Learning Experiences), "A student who is currently enrolled, or who has completed all admission
70
__________________________________________________________________________
requirements, may receive college credit if he/she evidences proficiency in a course or courses
due to previous work or educational experiences." The evidence may be provided through Credit
by Examination, in which case the Registrar awards the credit based upon established criteria, or
through Departmental Examinations in which case the appropriate Dean makes arrangement for
administering and assessing the exam.
The College also recognizes previous education/training and experience of military personnel. At
the Registrar’s discretion, in collaboration with the Chair/Instructor, credit is awarded based on
the student's military transcript (see Procedures for Awarding Credit to former Military and
Military Students; What SMART contains; and the Military Training Crosswalk Info and
Recommendation).
3.26: What are the institution’s limits on academic residency requirements for
