The College respects the right of each member of the academic community to be free from coercion and harassment and will not permit conduct which: interferes with the rights and privileges of other members of the College community; is abusive of members or guests of any member of the College community; results in damage to, or destruction of or unlawful removal of, college or other property from the College campus; or the threat of any such action.

Pre-Professional Studies Law It is important that students interested in legal professions meet with the Pre-Law advisors in the Political Science department on a regular basis. The advisors will help students design a plan of study to meet each student‘s needs. The plan of study emphasizes a broad liberal arts education and the acquisition of skills in critical thinking, speaking, and writing. It is essential that students maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0 and that they perform well on the Law School Admission Test to have a reasonable opportunity for admission to law school. The Pre-Law advisors are liaisons to the Law School Admission Council and have a variety of law school catalogs, bulletins, brochures, and other materials which students may consult as aids in making decisions related to careers in law. Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, and Other Health Professions Courses leading to the study of medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and other health-related fields are available to students contemplating careers in these fields.

These courses may be taken by any undergraduate major or as a post-baccalaureate program. In addition to the above core of science and mathematics courses, some health professional schools may require additional courses. Also, because many of the courses in the pre-professional curriculum are offered in sequence, each student should consult with the Health Professions Advisor as soon as possible after admission to the College.

Financial Aid Application Process Every applicant seeking Federal, State or Institutional aid must file: 1. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine Eligibility for aid. Dowling College‘s school code for the FAFSA is #002667. 2. The Express Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Application to determine eligibility for New York State Grants. Residents of other states should inquire about their home state‘s policies and obtain any necessary forms. New York State residents are automatically linked from the FAFSA to TAP on the Web to apply for state grants electronically. Both the FAFSA and TAP applications may be filed electronically. To do so, the student and parent must obtain a Personal Identification Number (PIN) from the U.S. Department of Education. This may be done by following the directions at http://www.pin.ed.gov. Once the PIN is obtained for the student and/or his/her parent, the FAFSA may be filed at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The PIN serves as an electronic signature. Filing the form electronically is faster and less error-prone.

Regulations for Conduct on Campus Regulations with Respect to Conduct on Campus and Other College Property Used for Educational Purposes as Required by New York State Law. Dowling College respects the right of all members of the academic community to explore and discuss questions which interest them, to express opinions publicly and privately, and to join together to demonstrate their concern by orderly means which do not disrupt in whole or in part any operation of the institution. The College also respects the right of each member of the academic community to be free from coercion and harassment. The substitution of noise for speech and force for reason is a rejection and not an application of academic freedom. Action by individuals or groups to prevent speakers invited to the Campus from speaking, to disrupt the operations of the institution in the course of demonstrations, or to obstruct and restrain other members of the academic community and Campus visitors by physical force is destructive of the pursuit of learning and of free society. (Adapted from the National AAUP Council Statement of October 28, 1967.) Definition: The term ―member‖ or ―members‖ as used herein shall be deemed to mean and include students, members of the Administrative Staff, the Faculty, other employees of the College, and members of the Board of Trustees. Dowling College will not allow disruptive or disorderly conduct on its premises or other property used by the College for educational purposes. Such conduct includes interference with the rights and privileges of other members of the College community, invitees, or other persons lawfully Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 31 Back to Table of Contents present on College premises and the willful damage to, or destruction of, or unlawful removal of College or other property from the Campus, or the threat of any such action. Persons engaging in disruptive action or disorderly conduct shall be subject to disciplinary action, including suspension, expulsion, dismissal, or ejection, and also to charges of violation of federal or state law. Violation of the rules and regulations stated above will lead to appropriate disciplinary action. Lack of prompt compliance with a cease and desist order issued by the President, his/her representative, or designate, will constitute an aggravation of the offense and immediate suspension may be imposed. Should any member of the College community have cause to believe that an act by an individual or a group violates the rules and regulations stated above, he/she may notify the office of the President or any appropriate College authority. The President, his/her representative or designate, shall determine if the stated rules have been violated. If he/she finds such a violation, he/she shall prescribe modifications in the conduct of the person or persons involved and set a time limit for making such modifications. Participants and spectators who fail to comply will be liable to College discipline. It should be emphasized that the primary means for dealing with problems of students and College employees should be College disciplinary measures. However, in the event of violence or noncompliance, the President, his/her representative, or designate may seek assistance from civil authorities in order to restore order and to eject violators if necessary. Violators are subject to legal proceedings and immediate suspension. In such cases the College shall not make applications to the Court for reduction of charges or alter its internal disciplinary procedures. Persons who are not members of the College community who violate these rules and regulations are subject to civil authority and will be promptly ejected from College premises or authorized functions. Student Judicial System Dowling College is committed to providing its students with a superior education, as well as helping its students develop character traits essential to the fulfillment of community leadership roles in adult life. Discipline is an integral part of this process. Discipline that is based on natural and logical consequence is effective in training students to become responsible for their own actions. Discipline is also an essential part of maintaining the order necessary to permit our professors and administrators to focus on what they do best, educate Dowling students. A code of conduct has been designed, ultimately, to protect and promote the interests of Dowling students, by attempting to ensure them a safe, protective, and nurturing environment. Please refer to the Student Handbook for additional and more detailed information.

Accordingly, the College reaffirms its policy that it will not condone any action or situation involving physical or mental abuse such as harassment, hazing, or intimidation, the forced consumption of liquor, drugs, or any liquid or solid substance for the purpose of initiation into, or affiliation with, any organization. Any conduct which recklessly or intentionally endangers or threatens the health, safety, or welfare of any person on College-owned property or at Collegesponsored activities is prohibited. To this end, persons who engage in hazing may be ejected from the Campus and, where appropriate, shall be subject to expulsion or other disciplinary action. Similarly, the College may rescind permission for an organization, which authorizes hazing or whose members engage in hazing, to operate on College property or use the College‘s name. Substance Abuse Policy for Students Dowling College recognizes that the physical and psychological health of its students is threatened by misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol. Commonly abused or improperly used drugs or controlled substances include, among others, alcohol, painkillers, sedatives, stimulants, and tranquilizers, as well as marijuana, cocaine and heroin. It is the responsibility of both the College and its students to maintain a safe, healthy learning environment. In addition, as a government contractor, the College must comply with the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Section 22 of the Drug Free Schools and Communities Amendment of 1989 (Public Law 101-226). Therefore, the College has adopted a Substance Free Campus Policy for students. Participating as a student of Dowling College (which includes attending classes, College functions, all activities on College property, participating in College activities, or otherwise representing Dowling College off premises) while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances is strictly prohibited regardless of when or where the consumption occurred. Students who are found to be under the influence will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. NOTE: Consumption or sale of alcohol in any form is expressly prohibited on the Dowling campuses or at any Dowling-sponsored event. Exceptions to this policy may only be authorized by the President or his/her designee provided that the request is received in writing and no less than 10 working days prior to the event. Enforcement Students who violate this policy may be subject to criminal prosecution (where applicable) and will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. In appropriate circumstances, a first offense could result in dismissal. Drug-Free Awareness Program Hazing Policy The Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order contained in Section 6450 of the Education Law of the State of New York apply to all members and organizations of the Dowling College community, as well as visitors and licensees. Dowling College has established a ―drug-free awareness program‖ to inform students about: 1. the dangers of drug abuse on Campus; 2. Dowling College‘s policy of maintaining a drug-free Campus; Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 32 Back to Table of Contents 3. available drug counseling, rehabilitation, and student assistance programs; and 4. the penalties that may be imposed upon students for drug abuse violations. Programs for students and staff will be held on Campus during the academic year. Look for notices of the meetings on Campus bulletin boards. Treatment Dowling College recognizes drug dependency as a major health problem. Students needing help in dealing with such problems are encouraged to call the Personal Assistance and Counseling Office (P.A.C.) at 631-244-3455 for referral to an appropriate substance abuse treatment or rehabilitation program. Conscientious efforts to seek such help will not jeopardize a student‘s good standing at the College. P.A.C. is located in the Curtin Student Center. A complete copy of this policy is on file in the Center for Information Technologies and may also be located on the Dowling College Website at www.dowling.edu/mydowling/tech/itpolicy.html. Intellectual Property Rights Since the College may be legally responsible for the violation of intellectual property rights occurring on its premises, any employee or student who engages in conduct which directly or indirectly violates or infringes upon licensing agreements, copyright, or trademark laws, will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the College and legal prosecution. Privacy Rights No Smoking Policy Consistent with restrictions imposed by New York State Public Health Law Article 1 3-E, smoking is prohibited in all campus buildings. Additionally, the College does not permit smoking within 10 feet of any building entrance. It is the responsibility of all members of the College community to observe this smoke-free policy and to remind others of their responsibility. This is a health, courtesy, and fire safety issue. Enforcement Any individual can voice an objection to smoke that gathers in non-smoking areas without fear of retaliation by reporting it to their responsibility head. In the event that disputes regarding the scope of designated smoking areas arise and cannot be resolved, the entire College will be designated as non-smoking. With respect to any other smokingrelated disputes which may arise under this policy, the rights of the non-smoker will be governed by the rule of reason. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge or suspension. New York State may impose a civil penalty of $1000 per violation of the law, and the Suffolk County Department of Health may levy a fine of $25 per violation of the law. The College requests and expects everyone‘s assistance in helping it to comply with its legal responsibilities under the County and State public health laws. Policy for acceptable use of Computing Resources The computing facilities at Dowling College are intended for use by students, faculty, and administrators for the express purpose of enhancing and supporting the educational process and function of the College. All computer users are expected to adhere to the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, U.S.C.), both in spirit and practice, and follow all licensing agreements as stated by authors, vendors, and developers. Dowling College reserves the right to act against any person(s) who willfully misuses College-owned computing equipment hardware, software, and associated furnishings. Since the College may be legally responsible for the violation of privacy rights occurring on its premises, any employee or student who engages in conduct which directly or indirectly violates or infringes upon the privacy rights of an employee or student will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the College and legal prosecution. Plagiarism and Unauthorized Student Collaboration As many computer-related courses require students to submit assignments written and debugged at computer work stations, the possibility of plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty exists. If the assignments are intended to be individually graded, then they should result from individual effort. Computer assignments, whether they consist of program codes or simple word-processed text, are subject to the same policies with respect to academic honesty as any other work submitted for grading as a written, graphic, or oral assignment. These policies are set forth in the Dowling College Catalogs. Courtesy to Our Neighbors Dowling College is located within residential areas at both the Rudolph Campus in Oakdale and the Brookhaven Campus. Within the communities we wish to be good neighbors and we ask for your cooperation: 1. Do not park on area roadways. Please use the parking facilities in accordance with your designated area parking permit at all times. This includes all campus lots on and surrounding area streets on both campuses. 2. When driving in the Oakdale and Brookhaven community areas, obey all traffic and parking regulations. NEVER speed, drive recklessly, or pass vehicles on roadways. 3. When crossing streets or walking on area roadways, always use the crosswalks. Do not impede traffic. Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 33 Back to Table of Contents 4. Always be courteous and considerate to area residents and motorists. 5. Do not litter. Please respect the property of others. 6. Always be conscious that you are representing Dowling College and that we value our reputation. Workplace Violence/Campus Safety Dowling College is committed to our students‘ safety and health. We refuse to tolerate violence (zero tolerance) on the Campus and make every effort to prevent violent incidents from occurring. Dowling College encourages all students and College community members to be fully aware of potential safety issues on Campus, and to take action to prevent and report any hostile or threatening situation to the Campus Security Department by dialing 88. Campus Safety & Security A Shared Responsibility: Campus Safety and Security at Dowling College is a shared responsibility. Clearly, the best protection against campus crime is an aware, informed, alert campus community - student, faculty, and staff who use reason and caution - along with a strong security presence. The vast majority of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors do not experience crime at Dowling College. However, despite our best efforts, crimes sometimes occur. This information is provided because of our commitment to campus safety and security and in compliance with the federal law, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (The Clery Act), and the New York State Campus Safety Act of 1999. It is meant to be useful to you. If you have concerns, questions or comments about federal or state law requirements of Dowling‘s compliance with these laws, please contact the Director of Security and Compliance at 631-244-3365. All employees and students at Dowling College are responsible for using safe work practices, for following all directives, policies and procedures, and for assisting in maintaining a safe and secure work environment. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy & Campus Crime Statistics Act (The Clery Act)--- Dowling’s “Right to Know” The Clery Act requires Dowling to provide students and employees with information on its security policies and procedures and specific statistics for certain criminal incidents, arrests, and disciplinary referrals and to make the information and statistics available to prospective students and employees upon request. This information is available by calling the Security and Compliance department at 631-244-3365, or online at http://www.dowling.edu/security/right2know.pdf It is important to note that the crime classifications for which colleges and universities must provide statistics differ under state and federal law. Statistics for certain crime classifications might appear to be different. For example, the federal statistics for motor vehicle theft differ from the state statistics for the same category because the federal classification includes attempted motor vehicle thefts, while state law requires institutions to separately report attempted motor vehicle thefts. The crime statistics reported under the Jeanne Clery Act include the following: Criminal Homicide (murder; non-negligent manslaughter); Sex Offenses (forcible rape; sodomy; sexual assault with an object; fondling; non-forcible incest; statutory rape); Robbery; Aggravated Assault; Burglary; Motor Vehicle Theft; and, Arson. The Advisory Committee on Campus Safety will provide upon request all campus crime statistics as reported to the U.S. Department of Education. Individuals may request a hard copy of such crime statistics from the College, which will be mailed to the individual within ten days by calling 631-244-3365, Director of Security and Compliance. These statistics can be obtained from The Dowling College Right to Know Report (www.dowling.edu/security/right2know.pdf) as well as the College‘s administrative regulations and programs to educate the college community regarding security and crime prevention. The U.S. Department of Education web site for campus crime statistics is: www.ope.ed.gov/security. A copy of Dowling College‘s annual security report is available. This report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Dowling College; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. You can obtain a copy of this report by contacting Security or by accessing the following website: www.dowling.edu/security/right2know.pdf. Hate Crimes The law requires the release of statistics by category of prejudice concerning the occurrence of hate crimes in the crime classifications listed in the preceding section and for other crimes involving bodily injury to any person in which the victim is selected because of the actual or perceived race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or disability of the victim. In August of 2008 HEOA S 488, 20 U.S.C. S1092 (f) (1) F (ii) modified the above hate crimes to include the following additional crimes under the hate crimes category: Larceny Theft: The unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property from the possession, or constructive possession, of another. Threats: Intimidation (includes Stalking) To unlawfully place another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm through the use of threatening words and/or other conduct, but without displaying a weapon or subjecting the victim to actual physical attack. Vandalism: To willfully or maliciously destroy, damage, deface, or otherwise injure real or personal property without the consent of the owner or the person having custody or control of it. Simple Assault: An unlawful physical attack by one person upon another where neither the offender displays a weapon, nor the victim suffers obvious severe or aggrieved bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration, or loss of consciousness. Timely Warnings When the Security Department becomes aware of criminal incidents that, in the judgment of Dowling College‘s senior leadership constitute Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 34 Back to Table of Contents an ongoing or continuing threat to the campus community, the security department issues a Crime Alert to notify the community. These Crime Alerts are disseminated by using one or a combination of the following; email distribution; various campus publications; or, activation of the Dowling College Emergency Notification Alert System, to advise the community of the situation. Dowling College Emergency Notification System Dowling College‘s Emergency Notification Alert System enables the College to quickly notify the Dowling Community of critical information during a major emergency. This is accomplished through two (2) key delivery methods: Personal Electronic Devices and Digital Displays. Currently the College can notify Dowling faculty, staff, and students via personal electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, pda handhelds, etc.) through text messaging, voicemail and email. When a Dowling Alert is sent, the emergency coordinator uses it to provide current and continuous updates, acting as a central reference point for accurate information. This method is useful for those both on and off-campus. The Dowling Alert is only activated for serious emergencies which are confirmed by security personnel and with the approval of the College‘s senior leadership. Once it is determined to send the Dowling Alert, the proper message is selected from several prescripted messages and sent. A Dowling Alert can only be sent by one of several initiators who are trained by the Administrative Information Services Department. Furthermore, the Dowling Alert is tested at least annually to ensure all faculty, staff, and students (who have signed into the system) are familiar with emergency alerts and what their individual roles are during an actual situation. Missing Resident Student & Unidentified Person Policy It shall be the policy of the College to thoroughly investigate all reports of missing resident persons. Additionally the College holds that every person reported as missing will be considered at risk until significant information to the contrary is confirmed. All reports of missing or suspected missing resident students should be reported to the Security Department at (631) 244 3060 or 88 on the Rudolph Campus; 631-630-6199 or 88 on the Brookhaven Campus, or directly to the Suffolk County Police Department‘s 911. In effort to avoid jurisdictional conflicts when an off-campus, non-campus and/or commuter student is reported missing to the Dowling Security Department, an immediate notification will be made to the appropriate jurisdiction. The Security Department will assist external authorities with these investigations. Dowling College strongly recommends all students register confidential contact information in the event that a student over the age of 18 years is determined missing for a period of more than 24 hours. This person would only be contacted if you are reported missing. This information will be kept confidential and will be accessible only to authorized campus and law enforcement officials. This policy was developed based on the New York State Campus Safety Act of 1999 and on recommendations provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) ―Model Policy‖ 2006. Personal Safety Suggestions It is vital for us as members of a community to be concerned about the welfare of others. Personal Safety at Night 1. Never wait or walk alone unless it is absolutely necessary. Use the safety escort services! 2. Avoid shortcuts. 3. If you feel you are being followed, walk to the nearest group of people or to a well-lighted area. 4.

If the hallway is filled with smoke and you cannot get out the nearest exit, return to your room, close the door, open the window, and indicate to people on the ground that you are there. 4. During a fire, DO NOT attempt to open any closed doors without first feeling the door for heat. If the door feels excessively hot, do not open it. 5. For more information refer to the Dowling College Right to Know Report, available at the Student Services Center or on the Dowling College website: www.dowling.edu/security/right2know.pdf. Annual Fire Safety Report The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires two (2) new safety-related requirements on institutions that participate in federal student financial aid programs. Fire Log: Institutions must keep a fire log that states the nature of the fire, date, time, and general location of each fire in on-campus student housing facilities. Dowling College complies with this rule by including all fire-related incidents in the Daily Crime and Fire Log. Information will be made available within two (2) business days of a request for public inspection. Annual Fire Safety Report: Institutions with on-campus student housing facilities must publish annually a fire safety report that provides information on campus fire safety practices and standards. Dowling College complies with this regulation by including all fire-related incidents at on-campus student housing facilities as part of the Annual Security & Fire Safety Report. Information contained in this annual fire safety report includes: number and causes of fires at all on-campus student housing facilities; number of fire-related deaths; related injuries; value of fire-related property damage; information on evacuation procedures; fire safety education and training programs; fire safety systems in each student housing facility; number of regular mandatory supervised fire drills; and policies on portable electrical appliance, smoking and open flames. The Annual Security & Fire Safety Report must include three (3) years of data. (Revisions to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) for Fire Safety and reporting were pro-posed in 2008. Therefore, only one year of data is currently available.) Daily Crime and Fire Log: The security department maintains a combined Daily Crime and Fire Log of all incidents reported to the security department. This includes all crimes, fire-related incidents and other incidents that occur on the campuses, in non-campus buildings or properties, on public property or within the security patrol zone. The daily Crime and Fire Log includes the incident type, date incident is reported, date and time of occurrence, and general location of each reported incident type, as well as the disposition of the incident, if this information is known. The security department posts specific incidents in the Daily Crime and Fire Log within two (2) business days of receiving a report on an incident and reserves the right to exclude reports from a login certain circumstances, as permitted by law. Vehicle and Parking Regulations The rules and regulations regarding vehicles have been developed in an effort to provide for the convenience and safety of all members of the Dowling College Community. Every person driving in the local communities and on Campus is expected to comply with these regulations. A copy of the parking regulations is given to each student at the time they receive their parking permit. The use of the Dowling College parking areas (private property) is a privilege and not a right and under no circumstances shall the College be responsible for loss or damage to any vehicle, its contents, or equipment. All persons parking their vehicles on Campus do so at their own risk. For more information refer to the Dowling College Right to Know Report, available at www.dowling.edu/security/right2know.pdf. Application for Parking Permit Upon admission to the College or to any academic program sponsored by the College, all individuals who will drive to the College are responsible for obtaining a Dowling College Parking Permit for all motor-driven vehicles including scooters, motorcycles, and motorbikes. Parking permits may be obtained online by visiting www.dowling.edu or through the Security Office at 121 Central Boulevard, Oakdale. Additional stickers may be obtained and are administered on a case-bycase basis. Academic Information Dowling College: A Curriculum by Design Dowling College has created its own unique approach to academic excellence, which combines your interests and career aspirations with quality education and real-world experience. To ensure our graduates enter the working world with confidence, all students engage in general education courses composed of college-wide requirements and core courses. These courses develop knowledge of yourself, your fellows citizens, and the world as well as proficiency in reading, writing, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking and listening. This means that, through your Dowling experience, you will master knowledge and skills that are essential to success, not only in college, but in life. Beyond general education, Dowling students select a major, which is comprised of required courses specific to their academic program, and electives, which can be used towards specific career goals or personal enrichment. Students are encouraged to complement that coursework with an additional subject area, known as a minor. This winning combination produces a challenging curriculum specific to your personal and professional objectives. With more than eight hundred possible major-minor combinations available, students at Dowling have immeasurable opportunity to expand Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 36 Back to Table of Contents their knowledge, tap into different fields and become candidates for multiple professions. For instance, a student who majors in Marketing could expand their capabilities by completing a minor in Creative Writing, making him/herself an ideal candidate in the advertising field. The possibilities are vast and are tailored to meet the diverse needs of our student body. Majors Dowling College students have more than 40 academic programs from which to choose, to help you develop into a more marketable, wellrounded individual. Students should select their major based on longterm goals and career aspirations. Students are encouraged to review the academic offerings before they begin their undergraduate program at Dowling. This is especially helpful in highly structured majors, such as those in our School of Aviation, where coursework is prescribed from the start of the first year. In most instances, however, a student may defer the selection of a major until his or her sophomore year and still have the opportunity to complete the program's requirements within the customary eight semesters. For students who are undecided about their educational and career goals, we offer the Liberal Arts Leadership Development Experience, which combines career exploration with coursework, externships, Collegesponsored extracurricular activities, and community service opportunities. Recognizing that your career aspirations and personal interests may develop and transform over time, students are allowed to change majors at any time. Minors Broaden your knowledge base, enhance your credentials and develop into a more marketable, well-rounded individual! Students, who enter the College as freshmen with less than 30 credits and are not enrolled in a "double-major" program, are expected to complete a minor as well as a major. A minor generally requires fifteen to eighteen credits. In keeping with its mission, Dowling allows students with a special interest not served by any one of the minors to design their own in consultation with an appropriate faculty member. (See page 93.) College-Wide Requirements All Dowling students must demonstrate competence in writing and quantitative reasoning by meeting the following three course requirements: ENG 1001A Principles of Writing ........................................................ 3 credits MTH Any Mathematics course or NSM 2008C ................................ 3-4 credits FYE First Year Experience Seminar (Freshmen Only) ...................... 3 credits Note: The appropriate mathematics course to fulfill this requirement will usually be dictated by the student‘s major. In those cases in which a major makes no such requirement, the student will fulfill this requirement by completing an appropriate mathematics or quantitative skills course. Students who are candidates for Teacher Certification will be advised by the Office of Enrollment Services in consultation with the School of Education. Core Requirements In order to ensure that each Dowling student graduates with a foundation in the liberal arts and develops a broad range of both skills and knowledge beyond a major specialization, each Dowling graduate must complete 33 credits of core curriculum. Students are required to take two 3-credit core courses in each of five study areas: World Civilizations, Modes of Artistic Expression, Dynamics of Contemporary Societies, Nature of the Universe, and Varieties of Human Experience, as well as a 3-credit Senior Seminar. Students may take core courses in any order or sequence, with the exception of the Senior Seminar and foreign language courses. The Senior Seminar requires the completion of 90 credits in order to register, and foreign language courses must be taken in sequence. There is a wide range of course offerings within each study area, with well over 100 courses available to satisfy core requirements. These courses may count toward major, minor, and certificate requirements, as well. Also, core courses may be used to satisfy a prerequisite for non-core courses. In such instances, the core requirement credits must be replaced with an equal number of elective course credits so that the total number of degree credits is not reduced. Core courses may be found in the interactive list of course descriptions at the end of this catalog. Core courses are indicated by a ―C‖ following the 4-digit course number. Please note that some core courses have prerequisites. Students should consult the schedule of classes for course availability. World Civilizations 6 credits Any courses in French, History, Italian, Mandarin, Philosophy, Religious Studies and Spanish whose 4-digit course number is followed by a ―C.‖ Please note that if more than one foreign language course is selected, the courses must be taken in sequence. A student may opt, however, to take one foreign language course and combine that course with a HST, PHL, or REL course. Modes of Artistic Expression 6 credits Any courses in Dance, Dramatic Arts, Media Studies, Music, Speech, and Visual Arts whose 4-digit course number is followed by a ―C.‖ Dynamics of Contemporary Societies 6 credits One course from among the following: ECN 2101C Economic Thought and the Modern World I ECN 2102C Economic Thought and the Modern World II ECN 2103C Great Ideas in Economics POL 2101C Modern Political Thought POL 2102C American Political Thought SOC 2101C Self and Society I: Foundations of Social Theory Additionally, any course in Economics, Politics or Sociology whose 4-digit course number is followed by a ―C‖ and that has not already been taken to satisfy the requirement indicated above. Nature of the Universe 6 credits Any courses in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Marine Studies, Natural Science, and Physics whose 4-digit course number is followed by a ―C.‖ Varieties of Human Experience 6 credits Any courses in Anthropology and/or Psychology whose 4-digit course number is followed by a ―C.‖ Senior Seminar Any ASC XXXXC course. Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 37 3 credits Back to Table of Contents Every student is required to take a Senior Seminar after having completed 90 credits. Please consult the schedule of classes for seminar availability. Core Curriculum Requirements Total: 33 Credits Transfer Students: At the time of admission to the College, a transfer student‘s transcript will be evaluated and a special Core Program developed for that student. The resulting personalized requirements will provide a general education program that meets the College‘s goals for the transfer student as they relate to the five areas of the Core curriculum. This will include a Senior Seminar and whatever Core courses are required to meet the core curriculum goals. First Year Experience Program All freshmen (i.e., students admitted with fewer than thirty college credits) are required to complete a three-credit First Year Experience (FYE) content-based course. Topics are offered in a wide range of subject areas. The course provides academic guidance helping students make the transition from high school to college. The program encourages students to develop reading, writing, and research skills. The course enhances the benefits of a liberal arts education by preparing students to become critical thinkers. Honors Program Requirements All students who enter as freshmen and wish to graduate in the Honors Program must enroll in and complete 33 credits of the Honors Program Core Curriculum and 3 credits of Honors Freshman Seminar. Students who transfer to Dowling after the freshman year will be required to enroll in honors classes that complement the coursework they have previously completed. To remain in the Honors Program, students must maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.5 and complete 30 credits each year. Students who fall below this minimum who wish to remain in the program may apply to the Honors Program Advisory Council which determines the merit of the application. Honors Program students are expected to engage in original thinking about, independent inquiry into, and articulate commentary on topics that have been determined appropriate for each aspect of the Core. For further information, please contact the Director of the Honors Program. • The Honors Program Forum: The main objective of the Forum is for Honors students to share their research projects with the faculty the other Honors students and the Dowling College community at large. Students are nominated to participate in this annual event by their faculty. • Honors Senior Seminar: This seminar is an enhanced version of the required seminar and involves an Honors Thesis, which will be the result of research carried out under the mentorship of a thesis advisor, usually the faculty member teaching the course. • The Honors Program Experience: Honors Program students have the opportunity to work with specially selected faculty and librarians on their research projects and to participate in extracurricular activities and field excursions. Most recently these have included a Presidential Breakfast, an overnight stay at a mansion on the Upper East Side, a tour of The Cloisters, and the viewing of the space show projected from the planetarium in the sky dome of the Rose Center for Earth and Space Science. (See Entrance Criteria on page 10.) Skills Dowling College assigns a high priority to affording its students ample opportunity to improve their abilities in the areas of reading, writing, critical thinking, speaking, listening, and quantitative reasoning. Experience evidences that students who are weak in basic skills are at greater risk of finding themselves in academic difficulty and, consequently, of failing to achieve their degree. While at Dowling College, every course offers students the opportunity to develop and improve their proficiency in these essential skills by affording them ample exercise. Some students require more assistance than can be provided in class. To assist such students and thus help them to protect the investment that they are making in their education, the College provides developmental assistance tailored to each student‘s need. In some instances, this may result in students being limited in the number of courses that they may take their freshman year. By imposing this restriction, the College seeks to assure that students are adequately prepared for the courses they attempt and so enjoy the best possible prospects for success. Electives For any Baccalaureate degree, there may be elective credits. Students may utilize these elective credits to take any courses they wish, providing they have met prerequisite requirements for their elective credit choices. Many students use their electives to take additional courses in their major or to satisfy Teacher Certification requirements. Other students use their electives to explore personal interests, like music or art. Foreign language study is an increasingly popular and valuable use of one‘s electives. Electives may also be utilized to accommodate courses transferred from another college or university where there is no equivalent Dowling College course. Academic Advisement An expert faculty is any college‘s principal resource. The quality of the students‘ experience at an institution is largely determined by the caliber of its faculty. Dowling is exceedingly proud of its faculty, among whom one finds nationally known poets, pianists and painters; scientists pioneering in their field; aeronautical engineers who worked on the lunarlanding; management experts who have themselves built successful corporations. Of course, for students to experience the benefits that derive from association with the faculty, they must have the opportunity to meet and to know them. That opportunity exists at Dowling. Unlike many other institutions where classes of several hundred students are common, the typical class-size at Dowling is fewer than twenty. Thus, there is ample opportunity for faculty and students to know one another and for them to become partners in learning. Each student, moreover, is assigned a specific faculty advisor who, throughout the period of the student‘s stay at Dowling, will be available to assist the student to identify and achieve his or her individual goals and objectives. Though continuity of advisement is important, students may change their advisor whenever and as often as they wish. The advisor—generally a professor in the student‘s major area of interest—will assist students to clarify their personal goals and to develop a strategy for their accomplishment. The advisor will work with the student to Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 38 Back to Table of Contents plan a course of study consistent with those goals and will review that plan with the student at least twice each year. In doing so, the advisor draws on his considerable knowledge of the curriculum and of the career-field that the student proposes to enter. Students pursuing Secondary Education Certification should request two advisors - one in their primary subject area, and one in secondary education. Students with dual majors/programs should be assigned faculty advisors from each major. The faculty advisor can also be useful in directing students who are experiencing academic difficulties to needed assistance. The advisor is in a position to guide a student who wishes to go beyond the content of her or his courses to independent avenues of inquiry. For many students, the principal obstacles to success are not academic but rather personal or financial. The advisor is equally concerned to assist the student in the resolution of those problems and, if not always in a position to do so him or herself, is able to refer students to appropriate sources of assistance. At Dowling, each member of the faculty and staff is concerned for the success and well-being of the Dowling student. Most often, however, it will be the student‘s faculty advisor who knows him or her best and so will be best able to understand that student‘s needs and concerns and thus be best positioned to assist. Students should look upon their advisor as a personal resource and should feel free to call upon his or her experience, expertise, and concern to assist them to achieve their own goals and objectives. Although the College will make every effort to inform students as to their curriculum requirements, it should be noted that advisement does not take the place of students‘ individual responsibility to assure that they have fulfilled their individual curriculum requirements as outlined in the College Catalog. Therefore, it should be understood that, notwithstanding participation in the advising program, the College disclaims any responsibility to ensure that each student has fulfilled his or her curriculum requirements. Nothing herein shall relieve the student of this responsibility. Primary responsibility for knowing and fulfilling all degree, program, and certification requirements rests on the individual student. of classes without paying the late registration fee. If a course becomes oversubscribed, students registered as auditors may be removed from the class with a full refund. Grading Grades of A, B, C, D, or F are awarded upon completion of all courses, except those designated for P/F (pass/fail) grades, such as field and work-shop courses. The numerical equivalent and quality points per credit for letter grades are as follows: Numerical Quality Points Grade Equivalent each credit A+ (97-100) 4.00 A (93-96) 4.00 A(90-92) 3.67 B+ (87-89) 3.33 B (83-86) 3.00 B(80-82) 2.67 C+ (77-79) 2.33 C (73-76) 2.00 C(70-72) 1.67 D+ (67-69) 1.33 D (63-66) 1.00 D(60-62) 0.67 F (Fail) 0 WF (Fail) 0 P (Pass) Credits for P grades are not included in the determination of a student‘s grade point average. I (Incomplete) W (Withdrawal in good standing) WF (Withdrawal Failing) Withdrawal without proper notification. WF grades are computed in the grade point average. Matriculation The term ―matriculation‖ designates the enrollment status of those students who have made application to the College and meet the criteria established for acceptance to the College as degree candidates, (see Admissions Criteria). Matriculated students need not have declared a major. Non-Matriculation A non-matriculated student is one who has applied to Dowling College and either does not meet criteria for matriculation or is not interested in pursuing a degree. Auditing classes A student who is qualified to enroll in a regular college course may audit the class and receive no college credit. Auditors are expected to attend class regularly and may participate in class discussions, but they write no papers and take no examinations. A grade of AU for the course will be noted on the transcript. A student may not change from audit to credit status or vice versa after the first class meeting. Audit registrations will not be processed until two weeks prior to the start of each term. Auditors may register during the first or second week Repeating Courses Undergraduate students may only repeat a course in which a grade of C- or lower has been obtained. Under extraordinary circumstances, students may appeal to the Academic Standards Committee if they wish to repeat a course in which a grade of C or higher was received. The repetition must be the same course and must be taken at Dowling College. All grades earned, including repeated courses, will remain on the student's transcript. Students who repeat a course once will have their first grade (C- to F) excluded from their G.P.A. calculation, provided that they earn a passing grade (A to D-) in the repeated course. Please note that students who repeat a course more than once will have only their first grade excluded from their G.P.A. calculation upon earning a passing grade. A course can be used only once towards a degree. A student's academic standing will not be recomputed for the term in which the first grade was issued. Repeated courses that have already received a passing grade cannot be counted toward New York State financial aid eligibility for full-time study or pursuit of program requirements. Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 39 Back to Table of Contents Pass/No Credit Option Within the specific limits noted below, a student may elect to have the final grade in any course recorded on the official academic record either as P (Pass) if the reported letter grade is A through D, or as NC (No Credit) if the reported letter grade is F. Neither P nor NC is calculated into the grade point average (G.P.A.). This option is intended to encourage students to explore other and sometimes less familiar areas of study. 1. Courses graded P may not be used to satisfy college-wide requirements (e.g. ENG 1001A and FYE). Any Mathematics course or NSM 2008C graded P cannot be used to satisfy collegewide requirements. Courses graded P may be used to satisfy one 3-credit Core course, but not senior seminar. Courses graded P can satisfy minor requirements if permitted by the student‘s minor department, but cannot satisfy major requirements. 2. Students may take up to 6 credits with the Pass/No Credit Option (at most 3 of which can be used for Core as stated above) over the course of their matriculation at the college. 3. Election of the P/NC option must be made before the 8th week of any traditional semester (Fall or Spring) or by midpoint of any non-traditional semester. After that date, no changes either to or from the P/NC option may be made. 4. Courses taken P/NC may be repeated for a letter grade. However, financial aid will not cover the repetition of a passing grade. 5. The Registrar will communicate to the instructor of a course the names of students who elect the P/NC option. 6. A grade of NC, like a grade of W, has a negative impact on progress towards graduation and should not be chosen by a student who has withdrawn from many courses previously. Incomplete Grades its equivalent, i.e. the completion of a minimum of 12 credits, and maintain an overall minimum G.P.A. of 3.0. All previous course work done at the institution prior to re-admission is disallowed toward the student‘s graduation requirements. Thus the student is granted a ―clean slate‖. All coursework remains on the transcript with a notation of ―Academic Clemency.‖ A request for academic clemency to the Academic Standards Committee must occur within one year after re-admission and applies only to courses taken before re-admission. Class Standing Students are classified according to the number of credits earned: Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior 0-29.99 credits 30-59.99 credits 60-89.99 credits 90 or more credits Registration Students may not attend and will not receive credit for any course for which they are not properly registered. To be registered, a student must file a registration form with the Registrar during the period designated for that purpose and must, in addition, make appropriate arrangements with Student Financial Services to meet his or her financial obligations to the College. Graduate or upper level undergraduate students may register by fax, phone, or through our web page. Full-time status is twelve (12) credits on the undergraduate level, nine (9) credits on the graduate level, and six (6) credits on the doctoral level. Course Load To be used in instances where a student has attended for the ENTIRE SEMESTER and who has otherwise been doing passing work, but is prevented from completing the work of the course due to extenuating or circumstances beyond his or her control. At the time the incomplete grade is submitted to the Registrar, the instructor must submit a description of the academic work necessary for completion of the course. It is important to note that if the incomplete grade has not been converted to a passing or failing grade by the instructor within six weeks after the beginning of the next regular term (i.e., fall or spring), the incomplete grade becomes an F. Failing Grades A student who receives a final grade of F in a course may be granted credit for the course only by repeating it with a passing grade. Grade Changes During the Fall and Spring semesters, the normal course load for a full-time student is 12 to 17 credits. An advisor may recommend that a student carry more or less than a normal course load. Loads of more than 19 credits are subject to approval of the Dean, or Associate Provost of the School in which the student is majoring, in accordance with the policies of the Committee on Academic Standards. The maximum course load during the accelerated terms is eight credits, unless an exception is granted. Attendance All students are expected to attend classes regularly. Responsibility for making up work missed through absence rests entirely with the student. Students absent for more than one week have the responsibility of reporting their absence to the Dean of Students. Endowed Chairs No grade changes will be allowed after one year from the end of the semester in which the course was taken. Academic Clemency Policy Endowed Chairs enhance the quality of programs in higher education through both the recognition and contribution of the Chair holders. These are regarded as the most prestigious appointments in academe, and they honor significant scholarly or creative achievement and academic excellence. Distinguished scholars who hold these positions make significant contributions to the mission of the College. Academic clemency allows a student returning to Dowling College after a period of at least three years the option of having his/her grade point average calculated from the point of re-admission. Upon readmission, the student must complete one full time semester of study or Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 40 Back to Table of Contents Giambattista Vico Chair of Italian Culture This interdisciplinary chair is designated to add to the courses and teaching curriculum of the Humanities and Social Sciences departments. The Chair is responsible for lectures, seminars, exchanges and other activities with Italian universities and cultural institutions of other countries relating to Italian culture. The chair was established in 1998. Independent Study An independent study must be a well-thought-out project between a student and a faculty member. Independent study work is intended to give a student opportunity to pursue an academic project under close faculty supervision. The standards for independent studies are designed to maintain a high level of quality in the work undertaken. Student Qualifications 1. An undergraduate student must have at least a 3.0 overall G.P.A. and have earned at least 60 credits (at least six (6) of which have been earned at Dowling College) at the time of registration, in order to be eligible to pursue independent study work. 2. Students can only do independent study work in a discipline in which they have already completed at least six (6) earned credits of work and overall have completed a minimum of 60 earned credits. Students must have completed at least one semester at Dowling, with at least six (6) credits of coursework. 3. Written approval from Academic Standards must accompany the Application for Independent Study form, if all the requirements in Part II of the form have not been met. Tutors for Independent Studies 1. A student‘s tutor for an independent study must be a faculty member in the discipline in which credit for the work is to be issued. 2. Adjunct faculty members may serve as tutors for independent study work only if they have the approval of their Department Chair and the Dean. Administrators cannot serve as either tutor, advisors or sponsors of independent study work. Nature of Independent Study Work 1. Independent study work cannot duplicate course work, nor can it duplicate any previous work for which a student has already received credit. 2. Independent study work cannot be used as a substitute for any course or any course requirements without the prior approval of the appropriate Department Chair. 3. A student may register for only one independent study, and for a maximum of three (3) credits of work during any semester or term. A student may not apply more than six (6) credits of independent study toward graduation requirements. 4. Students doing a 3-credit independent study involving selected readings, research of a topic or investigation of any kind are expected to submit a minimum 15 page paper. Students doing independent studies for either 1 or 2 credits are expected to produce a minimum 10-page typed paper. Papers are to be typed in 12 point Times New Roman Font, double spaced, with 1 inch margins and enumeration of pages. Pictures, tables, diagrams, endnotes and the bibliography do not count towards the minimum page counts previously stated. The independent study will be reviewed and graded by the faculty mentor with the student prior to its being placed on file in the College Library. 5. Independent studies in areas where a faculty mentor considers a paper to be inappropriate must be accompanied (when proposed) by an alternate plan as to how the student work will be assessed. The appropriate Department Chair must approve projects which fall into this category before the student may begin work. In cases where a project is approved without a paper due, the faculty mentor must submit a 2-3 page typed description of the specific work to be completed by the student. This ―Abstract,‖ (which may be written by the student), must be filed with the faculty member before a grade can be entered for the student. 6. A student and his or her faculty mentor are expected to meet at least once a week for at least one hour during the course of the term in which the work is being done. To Register for an Independent Study, the Student Must: 1. Obtain an application and academic information from the Registrar‘s Office. 2. Identify the faculty mentor appropriate to the independent study project the student wishes to complete. 3. Meet with the faculty mentor and design the independent study project in detail. 4. Complete the independent study application and appropriate registration form, including all required signatures, and return it to the Registrar‘s Office with the Independent Study course outline and preliminary bibliography. 5. If all requirements have not been met, written approval from the Academic Standards Committee must accompany the Application for Independent Study form when being submitted to the Registrar‘s Office for registration. Enrollment by Undergraduates in Graduate Courses Students who have earned a minimum of 90 undergraduate credits with a 3.0 average overall and a 3.4 average in their major may, with the approval of their advisor and the Provost, earn a maximum of six graduate credits. Graduate credits may not be applied toward a Baccalaureate degree. This option is intended to provide recognition and opportunity for those students who have displayed their intelligence and dedication in pursuing their educational goals. It is directed toward those special students who are most desirous of enhancing their education and career opportunities by providing a direct path toward graduate education. As undergraduates, they are limited to participating only in preparatory and basic courses. Participating students may take only one graduate course in any given term and may not attempt more than fifteen credits in the Fall or Spring terms, three credits in the Winter or Summer terms. Students must earn a B or better in the first course taken to be eligible to attempt a second course. Transfer Credit Transfer credit is awarded for appropriate work completed, with a grade of C or better, at another accredited college or university. A student who transfers from a two-year college must ordinarily take his or her final 60 credits at a four-year institution. The last 30 credits earned prior to graduation must be taken at Dowling College. Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 41 Back to Table of Contents Average Study at Other Colleges Matriculated students must receive permission from their faculty advisor in order to take courses at other institutions. Once a student has attained junior status at Dowling College, credit will only be accepted for any subsequent courses taken at a four-year college. Freshmen and sophomores, however, may be given credit, with the approval of their advisor for summer work taken at a two-year college. Transcripts of Record Requests for transcripts must be submitted to the Registrar in writing. For each transcript, a fee of $10 is charged. Confidentiality of Student Records The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, grants all eligible students or parents of financially-dependent students the right of access to their own educational records as defined in this law. The law prohibits access to release of personally identifiable information, other than directory information, without written consent. Dowling College policy does not permit access to release of student records to any third party except as authorized by this law. It should be noted, however, that this legislation concerning privacy is affected by Section 510 of the Veterans Education and Employment Act of 1976 which provides that notwithstanding P.L. 93-568, records and accounts pertaining to veterans as well as those of other students shall be available for examination by government representatives. If a student wishes to inspect or review his or her records, he or she may contact the office concerned. Complete information concerning this policy is available in the office of the Dean of Students. Inquiries concerning compliance with the F.E.R.P.A. may be directed to the Dean of Students, Dowling College, Rudolph Campus, Oakdale, Long Island, New York, 11769; or call 631-244-3362. Mid-Term Grades Faculty submit to the Registrar, immediately after mid-term, the names of students at risk of failure, either as a result of poor performance or poor attendance. These reports are forwarded to the student, the student‘s advisor, and to Academic Support Services. Honors The student with the highest average in the graduating class and who has completed at least 60 credits at Dowling as a full-time student will be Valedictorian. In case of a tie, the student who meets the first criteria and has completed the most credits at Dowling will be the Valedictorian. The full-time student who is ranked second in the consideration for Valedictorian shall be the Salutatorian. A student may be graduated with honors if the requirements for graduation have been met and if the following stipulated grade point average has been achieved. To graduate with honors, a student having completed fewer than 60 credits at Dowling College must also have earned the cumulative grade point average of 3.7 or better on all college course work taken outside of Dowling College. Honors 3.9 - 4.00 ..................................... Summa Cum Laude 3.8 - 3.89 .......................................Magna Cum Laude 3.7 - 3.79 ................................................... Cum Laude Dean’s List Students who receive grade point averages of 3.5 or better for the semester while taking a minimum of 12 graded credits (pass/fail courses are not included) will be appointed to the Dean‘s List. Students taking at least 12 credits across any combination of the three summer terms with a combined grade point average of 3.5 or better for all summer coursework (subject to any current restriction regarding academic progress) will also be appointed to the Dean‘s List. Part-time students who complete 6-11 credits in each of two consecutive Spring/Fall or Fall/Spring semesters (pass/fail courses are not included) with grade point averages of 3.5 or better will be appointed to the Dean‘s List. Departmental Honors Departmental Honors gives students with senior status the opportunity to participate in advanced work under the supervision of a faculty member in the department of their major or program. Departments that have criteria that meet College-wide standards are able to offer Departmental Honors to academically qualified students (overall G.P.A. of 3.7). Departmental Honors involves substantial original independent research, creative endeavor, and/or other scholarly activity in the field. The honors work should provide deeper engagement in the major field of study. Departmental Honors involves a six-credit Honors Project sequence, generally taken over the fall and spring semesters. A student must earn at least an A- in each course in order to receive Departmental Honors. The first three-credit course must normally be completed with at least an A- in order to continue. A list of programs offering Departmental Honors and the specific requirements of their Honors Projects is available at the Office of the Registrar. Academic Progress Requirements All students are required to maintain good academic standing as a condition of enrollment at Dowling College and to receive Federal, State and institutional aid. The guidelines vary, depending upon the student‘s grade level and depending upon which form(s) of aid they are receiving. Good academic standing is measured by reviewing a student‘s quantitative and qualitative progress. The quantitative measurement ensures that students are making progress toward their degree goals, while the qualitative measurement ensures that students are succeeding in their coursework. Undergraduate students are required to have a cumulative average of 2.0 or higher, while earning a minimum number of credits to demonstrate good academic standing. A student failing to meet that minimum standard would be placed on ―Academic Probation‖ for the subsequent semester. A student who is placed on academic probation is required to complete the College Success Self-Assessment Survey and meet with the Student Services staff as recommended by the assigned associate. A student who does not meet with Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 42 Back to Table of Contents an associate during the first semester of probation as recommended will have his/her case reviewed at the end of the semester by the Academic Standards Committee and will likely be dismissed from the college rather than be granted a second semester of probation. A student who satisfies the stipulations set forth in any academic success plan that is established will be granted a second semester of academic probation if applicable. At the end of the second semester of probation, a student whose performance is still not satisfactory for removal from probation will be granted a third semester of probation only if it is deemed appropriate by the Academic Standards Committee in consultation with Student Services. Any student still underachieving at the end of the third semester of probation will be dismissed from the college. However, students who have made acceptable progress will have a better chance of being readmitted to the college on appeal; while a student who does not make acceptable progress will likely be denied readmission. Only after a period of at least one semester away from college will a student be permitted to apply for readmission. The chart below is used to determine satisfactory academic progress: Credits Attempted >11 >23 >35 >47 >59 6 12 20 28 38 >71 48 >83 60 >95 >107 >119 >131 >144 72 84 96 108 120 Academic Progress Requirements for New York State Aid To receive State scholarships or grants, a student must be in good academic standing. For financial aid purposes, good academic standing consists of two components: • Pursuit of Program* - a requirement that a student receive a passing or failing grade (grades of A-F) in a certain percent of courses each semester; and, • Satisfactory Academic Progress - a requirement that a student accumulate a specific cumulative grade point average each term. The minimum standards vary, depending upon the number of State payments a student has received. Students who have received two or more full years of State financial aid must maintain a 2.0 average. *Credits can include non-credit remedial coursework; completed coursework requires grades of ‗A‘ - ‗F‘. Grades of ‗I‘, ‗W‘, ‗WF‘ do not meet the requirements. TAP Satisfactory Academic Progress Table Before being certified for this TAP payment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 A student must complete this many credits in the previous term (A-F, P) 0 6 6 9 9 12 12 12 12 12 And must have accrued at least this many cumulative (earned) credits 0 3 9 21 33 45 60 75 90 105 With at least this grade point average 0.00 1.10 1.20 1.30 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 Academic progress for New York State aid is checked at the end of each semester. Most students are eligible for up to 8 semesters of TAP. Students in approved five year programs and students enrolled in the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) are eligible for up to 10 semesters of TAP. The academic progress guidelines for part-time students are prorated. Academic Progress Requirements for Federal & Institutional Aid Undergraduate recipients of Federal and Institutional financial aid must also maintain good academic progress as a condition of aid receipt. This is also measured by reviewing a student‘s quantitative and qualitative progress toward their degree goals. The chart below is used to determine satisfactory academic progress for Federal and institutional aid. For full time students: At the end of year 1 2 3 4 5 6 Students must have completed at least this many cumulative credits 12 28 48 72 96 120 With at least a this grade point average 1.7 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 The standards are prorated for part-time students. Academic progress for Federal aid is checked at least once annually, usually in the summer preceding the following academic year. Appeal to Reinstate Federal Financial Aid A student who is not considered in good academic standing for financial aid purposes may submit a written appeal. This appeal, along with any supporting documentation, must be submitted to the Director of Financial Aid and should explain the reasons for poor academic performance. Appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the student will be notified, in writing, of the decision. Generally, regulations dictate that the appeal should be granted for a failure to meet standards for an otherwise academically successful student. Extenuating circumstances might include death of a family member or other circumstances that prohibited the student from successfully completing his/her coursework. Withdrawal from Courses A withdrawal is made on the appropriate form with the signatures of both the instructor and the faculty advisor and filed in the Registrar‘s Office. A student may withdraw from a course during the period allotted for course changes (see academic calendar) with no notation of enrollment in the course being recorded on the student‘s record. Students are permitted to withdraw from a course with a grade of W any time after the last day of course changes and before midterm (see academic calendar). After midterm, but prior to the final examination, a grade of W or WF will be given as determined by the instructor based on the student‘s work to that time. Leaving a course without notifying the instructor and filing the appropriate form may result in having a grade of WF reported for that course. WF grades will be included in the computation of the student‘s grade point average. Never attending a course(s) without notifying the Office of the Registrar or Student Services is not an acceptable means of withdrawal and will result in a full tuition and fees liability. Withdrawal from College A student voluntarily withdrawing from the College must immediately notify the Assistant Vice President for Student Services. Notification must be in writing, indicating the reason for the withdrawal. Grades for the semester from which the student has properly withdrawn will be Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 43 Back to Table of Contents reported as W‘s on the official transcript. Refer to Refunds for schedule or tuition refunds for withdrawing students. Students who discontinue attendance without notification will be recorded as having unofficially withdrawn, which may result in having grades of WF reported for that semester. These students are responsible for their total tuition and fees. Students who withdraw from all their classes, either officially or unofficially, may lose a percentage of their financial aid. Refer to the refund section of this catalog for more detailed information. Academic Honesty Policy Each Dowling College student shares with the College the responsibility for promoting and maintaining the academic integrity of the College community. The College views all forms of academic dishonesty, including but not limited to, plagiarism and cheating, as very serious matters punishable by penalties that may include failure in a course or expulsion from the College. Plagiarism Maintenance of Matriculation Students in good academic standing may take a leave of absence from the College of up to one year without forfeiting their status as a matriculating student. They do this by completing and filing a Maintenance of Matriculation form with the Office of the Registrar. As nonregistered but matriculated students, they are eligible to use the facilities of the College on the same basis as other students. Students who maintain matriculation may return at will and continue throughout their career at Dowling to be governed by the Catalog effective at the time of original entry. Students who maintain matriculation pay a maintenance fee of $60.00 per semester. Students who fail to maintain matriculation but who subsequently reapply for admission will be charged a $50 readmission fee. Plagiarism is the act of representing someone else‘s ideas, products, or words as one‘s own. It is a violation of legal, moral, and educational codes of behavior. Allowing another student to falsely represent one‘s own work as his or her own is likewise to engage in plagiarism. Materials and works submitted as fulfillment of course requirements must be the student‘s own work. Students are expected to know and use proper forms of citation when making use of the ideas or products of another. Any direct quotation regardless of how long must be accompanied by a reference citation. Paraphrasing another‘s ideas requires similar documentation. Using ―ghost written‖ or purchased term papers is a form of plagiarism. Plagiarism might result in a penalty that may include a grade of ―F‖ for the paper and a failing grade for the course for the student involved. Cheating Readmission Students who fail to maintain matriculation for more than one semester must apply for readmission. Readmission will be granted or denied on the basis of then current circumstances and will be governed by the Catalog in effect at the time of readmission. A student dismissed for reasons of poor scholarship may apply for readmission after one calendar year. Applications for readmission must be approved by the Academic Standards Committee. If readmitted, the student is placed on academic probation for the returning semester. All students readmitted to the College are subjected to the Catalog requirements in effect at the time of readmission. Graduation To be eligible for graduation, every candidate for an undergraduate degree must (a) have completed the final 30 credits at Dowling College in registered coursework; (b) have a grade point average of not less than 2.0; (c) have fulfilled the requirements of the program in which he or she is enrolled. During a student‘s next-to-last semester at Dowling, he or she must file an application for graduation with the Office of Degree Audit so that a preliminary evaluation of eligibility for graduation may be completed. Degrees are conferred on the first conferral date following completion of all degree requirements. Cheating of any kind is a violation of the Dowling College policy on academic honesty. This includes, but is not limited to, the unauthorized receiving or giving of information or assistance during examinations, quizzes, or any other evaluative instrument, as well as the use of any unauthorized information or assistance during such tests. Unless otherwise stated by the instructor, students are prohibited from using any electronic devices while taking an exam. The use of an unapproved electronic device shall be construed as cheating and may be appropriately penalized by the instructor. Submitting work in one course which has already been submitted for another course, without the consent of the instructor, is also considered academic dishonesty. Any act which improperly deprives other students from equal access to library, media, computer, or other course related materials is an act of academic dishonesty. Students who are suspected of academic dishonesty may be questioned by the course instructor. In some cases, academic dishonesty by a student may be handled between the faculty member and the student involved. In other cases, the matter may be brought before the Assistant Vice President for Student Services. It is College policy to encourage faculty members to report instances of academic dishonesty to the Assistant Vice President for Student Services. The Academic Standards Committee will serve as the appeals body for resolution of such matters, including the extent of the penalties involved. Appeals must be made in a timely manner. Students who observe cheating are encouraged to report to the faculty member involved that there are instances of cheating taking place in his or her course. Recommendations to Faculty Concerning Plagiarism and Cheating In order to be able to deal with repeat offenders in the matter of academic dishonesty, the faculty is encouraged to report to the Dean of Dowling College Undergraduate Catalog — Page 44 Back to Table of Contents Students all instances of cheating on which some action has been taken. This report should be made in writing, with a copy provided to the student involved. The student will have the right to append a statement to the report. Such reports will be kept confidential, and will be used by the Dean of Students and the Academic Standards Committee only for the purposes of dealing with instances of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism might result in a penalty that may include a grade of ―F‖ for the paper and a failing grade for the course for the student involved. The policy for each course should be specified on the syllabus. Procedure in Matters of Violation of the Dowling College Policy on Academic Honesty 1. Students subjected to penalties for violation of the Dowling College Policy on Academic Honesty as determined by a faculty member and/or the Dean of Students may appeal the matter to the Academic Standards Committee. Students wishing to appeal to the Academic Standards Committee must file that appeal in writing within ten (10) calendar days following the action taken by the faculty member or the Dean of Students. 2. Faculty members electing to impose penalties for violation(s) of the Policy on Academic Honesty may impose penalties ranging from a warning to a failing grade of the particular paper, project, or work in question to a failing grade for the course. Faculty are encouraged to report these actions to the Office of the Dean of Students in order that a confidential file be established for the purpose of tracking possible repeat be no additional violation of this policy, the student may, upon graduation, appeal directly to the Dean of Students to have this note file expunged. 3. The Academic Standards Committee may initiate proceedings in the case of a very serious violation or an accumulation of reports of academic dishonesty by a student. 4. a. The Academic Standards Committee will, upon student or faculty appeals, within thirty (30) calendar days of notice to the individuals involved that the committee is conducting such investigation, request written statements from all individuals involved. Such statements will be provided to the individuals involved for comment. b. After the receipt of such written statements and comments, the Committee will make every effort to interview the concerned individuals, as well as others who may have relevant information. 5. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of all information concerning the matter, the Committee will issue its report containing its findings in writing to the parties involved, with a copy to the President. In rendering its judgment, the Committee shall examine the evidence, hear witnesses, and review all relevant documents. 6. The Committee may revoke, mitigate, or increase earlier imposed penalties by the faculty member and/or the Dean of Students. The Committee may also initiate penalties. In case of serious or repeated violations, the Committee may impose a penalty of suspension or expulsion from the College. 7. Records of proceedings will be held confidential by the Dean of Students and/or the Chairperson of the Academic Standards Committee. 8. All decisions of the Academic Standards Committee pertaining to cases of academic dishonesty may be appealed to the President. Such appeals must be submitted, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days after issuance of the decision of the Academic Standards Committee.

The TESOL program is designed to lead to initial certification for all grades (Pre K – 12). The ultimate goal of the Department of Human Development and Learning (School of Education) for the undergraduate program leading to initial certification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages is to integrate and improve education at both the school and college level so that students receive a quality education and become productive citizens. The department believes that the central function of education is to transform the culture and improve society and that this can only be accomplished through a well-educated populace. Program objectives are based on the following underlying philosophy: • That a school-college vision of an education system in content and personnel can best prepare teachers and students for a diverse America; • That the heart of the enterprise is the ―quality‖ of the teacher and the new roles he or she will need to prepare for and serve in the 21st century; • That experimentation and innovation as well as judgment and compassion are the prevailing themes and human traits that permeate an educational system and the roles of the teacher; • That formal partnerships and collaboration with schools and professional development centers are central to preparation of quality teacher candidates. The overall objectives of the education program which prepares teachers for initial certification to Teach English to Speakers of Other Languages (K – 12) are to: 1. Demonstrate acceptable levels of performance related to the New York State standards of teaching as aligned with and directed at the ESL learning standards for K – 12 as well as the TESOL/NCATE program standards. At the initial level, teacher candidates will demonstrate an ability to impact student learning positively and make evident to partner school districts and other K – 12 school settings that teacher candidates meet tenure criteria. 2. Demonstrate selected skills, competencies and dispositions associated with the roles of teachers in the 21st century, such as serving as a facilitator of student learning. 3. Participate in, and make contributions to, the ideals and values of a schoolcollege partnership and its vision of a collaborative education system. 4. Demonstrate a high level of commitment to, and activity in, partnership ideals and values through specialized and experimental courses and projects, such as action research and studies, and school-college committee work. To be eligible to apply for initial certification, students must complete all the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages; obtain a passing score on all required New York State teacher certification exams; complete the Drug Abuse, Violence Prevention, Child Abuse and Fingerprinting workshops; maintain a G.P.A. of 2.5 or above; and, have satisfactorily met the competencies established by the Human Development and Learning Department College-Wide Requirements See page 37.

Over the years a number of students who have not majored in any of the sciences have established for themselves a career goal in one of the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, etc.). Entrance into a health professional school does not require that students major in a science. The pre-professional health minor is designed for nonscience majors who need a minor and/or the courses required to satisfy entrance requirements into health professional schools. It will also provide the minimum preparation needed in order to successfully take standardized entrance exams. For questions regarding this minor and entrance requirements to health professional schools, contact Dr. Richard Wilkens at 631-244-3491 or visit him in his office in the Kramer Science Center on Dowling‘s Rudolph Campus in Oakdale.
