This section provides details concerning what each student needs to know about the College’s academic expectations. For answers to specific questions about College policies, please contact Enrollment Services atwelcome@cocc.eduor 541-383-7500.

Academic Warning Policy

Students are considered to be in good academic standing if they earn a minimum 2.0 GPA each term. Certificate and degree seeking students not meeting this requirement receive an academic warning. All students on academic warning will be sent an email to their COCC email account specific to their situation the day after grades are processed; it is the student’s responsibility to monitor their academic standing and complete academic warning requirements in a timely manner.Note: Students who do not have an assigned advisor may request one through CAP Services or Admissions and Records; students on academic warning may not be self-advised, and students who were self-advised must meet with an advisor; students may not change advisors while on academic warning.

Academic warning descriptions and requirements are as follows:

First Academic Warning

如果学生的平均成绩低于2.0，他们就会受到第一次学术警告。在这个阶段，强烈鼓励学生在注册前与他们的导师见面。

Second Academic Warning

如果连续两个学期的平均成绩低于2.0，就会受到第二次警告处分。在这一阶段，学生被要求与学术顾问见面，并完成第二份学术警告工作表。工作表必须在下一学期第二周周一下午5点前提交到招生和记录处。如果学生预先注册，但未能完成这些步骤，他们的注册将被作废，并发放全额学费和费用退款(书店费用可能不退还)。第二次学术警告学生将被阻止注册一个日历年或直到他们完成第二次学术警告工作表。

Third Academic Warning

When students earn less than a 2.0 term GPA for three consecutive terms, they are placed on third academic warning. At this stage, students must complete the academic reinstatement petition with their advisor and submit the petition to Admissions and Records no later than 5 p.m. on Monday of the second week of the following term. The Academic Reinstatement Committee will review completed petitions no later than Wednesday of that week. The Committee has three options:

• Approve the petition as is: Students continue attending classes, following the requirements of the petition. If students fail to follow the academic plan or requirements, their registration in classes may be voided, and their petition is considered denied.
• 修改后批准申请:如果学生没有按照修改后的学习计划或要求进行学习，他们的注册可能会被取消，他们的申请被认为是被拒绝的。
• Deny the petition: If denied, students will not be allowed to continue or register for classes; any current registrations will be voided and a full-tuition/fee refund will be issued (bookstore expenses may not be refundable). Students may petition for reinstatement the following term or cease to attend classes for one calendar year. After one year, students may re-enroll and begin classes as if no academic warnings existed (grades on students’ transcripts remain the same).

All petitions are final and are not subject to appeal unless there is information pertinent to the outcome that was not submitted at the time of the initial request.

Note: Students on third academic warning may be required to participate in an activity or activities specifically chosen to address why they received three academic warnings. Depending on circumstances, this could be: attending a study skills class or workshop; meeting with a personal counselor to talk about time management, stress management, or life situations; attending a career counseling workshop or class; other options recommended by the advisor. If students do not follow through with this activity or activities, they will be dropped from that term’s classes. Financial aid recipients will need to pay back a prorated amount of their funding. See thefinancial aid withdrawal penalty policy.

If students are preregistered and fail to complete the petition, their registrations will be voided and a full tuition and fees refund issued, except books. Third academic warning students will be prevented from registering for one calendar year or until such time as their academic reinstatement petition is approved.

Fourth Academic Warning

When students earn below a 2.0 term GPA for four consecutive terms, they receive a fourth academic warning and are blocked from all registration in credit classes for one calendar year. After one year, students may re-enroll and start their academic record as if no academic warnings existed. The student transcript, however, will remain the same.

Credit for Prior Learning

Credit for prior learning is defined as credit obtained through evidence-based assessment of learning that occurs outside of traditional college-level coursework that includes these types of assessments:

• American Council on Education credit recommendation (military service, non-collegiate learning)
• College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
• Credit for prior industry certifications (CPC)
• Course challenge

ACE Credit Recommendations

美国教育委员会(ACE)是一个大学学分推荐服务机构，它评估劳动力培训，并为学分提供建议。在大多数情况下，学院将接受ACE国家指南中的建议。要想获得大学学分，学生必须提交正式的ACE成绩单。

ACE guidelines will be used when considering military credit for courses (not occupations) documented on the DD-214 and/or other official training documents. Typically, credit is considered only when it is equivalent to regular course offerings at the College, when it is not duplicated, and when it is applicable to a student’s degree requirements.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

学院会表扬在修读课程考试中取得满意成绩的学生。ACLEP equivalency table学校网站上保留了如何授予学分的提纲。学分是在学生被学院录取并被招生和记录办公室收到正式成绩单后申请到学生记录的。

Students may arrange to take the CLEP tests at the Tutoring Center by calling 541-383-7539.

Credit for Prior Certification

职业和技术教育项目的学生如果完成了州、国家或其他官方认可的标准所教授的课程、培训或其他项目，可以获得先前认证的学分。其他生活经历不计入学分。有兴趣获得先前认证学分的学生必须向项目主任提交先前认证的正式副本，以及先前认证申请表格。一旦获得批准，学生将把文件转发到招生和记录的成绩单和学位评估部门。学生必须在授予学分之前支付每门课程40美元的费用。

学分将被张贴在学生成绩单的顶部，标题为“先前认证的学分”，这样就不会与普通大学课程混淆。学院授予的学分并不保证该学分会被其他高等教育机构接受。每个机构建立自己的先前认证政策的信用，并将根据他们的政策评估先前的认证。

Credit for prior certification may not be used to acquire full-time status or to meet eligibility requirements for any other purpose, such as financial aid, veteran benefits, or scholarships. Credit for prior certification does not apply to meeting residency requirements for a COCC certificate or degree.

Challenge Courses

Students who have knowledge and experience similar to a particular course's content may challenge a course and receive credit for that course. Course challenges are subject to the following:

• Students cannot challenge courses at a lower level than courses in which they have already demonstrated competency nor at a lower level than courses in which the student has already registered.
• 学生不得质疑已经修过的课程。
• Students may not challenge courses in which experiencing the course itself is essential.
• Challenged courses do not apply to meeting residency requirements for a certificate or degree.
• Challenged courses do not count in determining financial aid eligibility.

In order to assess whether or not the student has a reasonable chance of successfully challenging a course, a student must receive permission from a faculty member in the subject area and the department chair before challenging a course. If approved, the student and department complete the challenge petition form. This must be completed by the end of the second week of the term. The challenge paper or final must be completed before the end of the term.

被质疑的课程在完成的申请通过招生和记录办公室处理时收取正常的学费。学生有责任和老师一起安排挑战性考试。只有在特殊情况下，老师才有权更改考试日期。如果成绩相当于B-或更高，则为及格或不及格。如果第一次没有通过，学生可以不重新挑战课程。View theCourse Challenge policy完整的细节。

Computer Competency Requirement

一些副学士学位要求学生在毕业前展示基本的计算机技能。To meet this requirement, students must successfully completeCIS 120Computer Concepts或通过IC3 GS6数字素养二级考试。

The IC3 exam may be taken at the Tutoring and Testing Center or any authorized Certiport Authorized Testing Center. Locally, appointments can be made through the Tutoring and Testing Center located in the lower level of the Barber Library. A $35 fee is charged and may include one free re-take. If a student needs to retake the exam a third time, another fee is charged.

通过认证考试不为学生提供课程学分;取而代之的是，在学生的记录上加上一个标记，这样考试就可以用来满足学位要求。PassingCIS 120Computer Conceptsdemonstrates digital literacyac and results in a letter grade and four credits on a transcript.

Specific CIS courses may be required in some Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science programs, and the competency test will not substitute for that. See individual program descriptions for details.

Dean's List

Students enrolled in 12 or more graded credits who receive a term GPA of 3.60 or better will have a dean’s list notation on their official transcript each term that the GPA is earned. The dean’s list will be published each term.

Grade Changes

教师完全负责分配成绩。如果学生对某门课程的最终成绩(A - f, P, NP)有异议，应与老师见面，复习成绩。如不满意，学生可与系主任面谈，系主任可与指导老师共同检讨成绩。If the student believes that the grade is arbitrary or capricious, the student has recourse through the College’sgrade appeal procedure.

Students who wish a change of grade to (or from) W or X must submit a petition directly to the Admissions and Records office. Requests for grade changes are considered only within one year of the grade being awarded.

Grading on Attendance

With the exception of the College’s administrative withdrawal policy, the individual instructor or department determines grading on attendance in class and/or participation. Instructors requiring attendance in class and/or participation to count in students' overall grades will outline expectations and procedures in their respective syllabi.

Grading Policy

End-of-term grades are available via the student’s Bobcat Web Account only and will not be mailed or provided over the phone.

只有以下列表中的成绩才会被分配。所有成绩为P、NP、W、X、I和IP的课程不适用于GPA。

To calculate GPA, multiply the number of credits for each course by the grade points for the grade received in that course (grade points listed below). Add these numbers together and divide by the total number of graded credits for that term. Include F grades and exclude P, NP, W, X, I, and IP grades.

Grading

Grade	Points	Description
A	4.0	outstanding performance
A-	3.7	superior
B+	3.3	excellent
B	3.0	very good
B-	2.7	good
C+	2.3	比满意的
C	2.0	satisfactory
D	1.0	passing1
F	0	not passing
P		及格:GPA未计算;适用于已完成学分的百分比;may be awarded only in authorized classes
NP		不及格:GPA未计算;may be awarded only in authorized classes
W		withdraw: not computed in GPA; must be assigned by Admissions and Records office
IP		course in progress
I		incomplete: not computed in GPA; will convert to F if requirements of the incomplete grade contract are not met by the end of the following term
X		audit: not computed in GPA; does not meet graduation requirements; not eligible for financial aid

¹

注意:获得D分的课程不能用于俄勒冈州文科副学士转学，在特定的证书或学位项目中可能有限制。D分不被认为通过了先决课程。

Pass/No Pass

Pass is interpreted as a C or higher. Courses using the pass/no pass option have been deemed inappropriate to use standard letter grading. Credits are awarded but not calculated in GPA.

Challenge Course Pass/No Pass

所有挑战考试将以及格/不及格为评分标准。在挑战课程中，P的标准是表现达到B-或更高的水平。学分计入GPA，但不计入学分。

Withdrawal

在本学期第八周至期末考试前的周三期间退学的学生将在成绩单上获得W。对于短期课程，将按比例使用时间。W不计入学生的GPA。需要老师的许可。

In Progress

如果课程正在进行中，则在成绩单上注明IP符号。课程结束时，会有一个等级。

Incomplete

当学生因非学术原因无法完成学业，但有合理的期望学生能够顺利完成课程时，不完整的分数由教师酌情决定。不完整成绩不能代替不及格成绩。一份详细说明完成工作条件的合同是必需的，并且必须在期限结束前完成。不完整的分数将不计入学术警告，但可能会影响令人满意的学术进展和经济援助资格。

The default deadline for incomplete work to be submitted is automatically set to the end of the following term (excluding Summer term). If contract requirements have been met, the instructor will assign the appropriate grade; if contract requirements are not fulfilled by the deadline, the I grade will convert to a F or NP (based on the course setup). The instructor may extend the incomplete up to four terms following the original term of enrollment.

学生和教师应完成一份不完整的等级合同，以便概述剩余的要求。

Audit

Students who want the experience of taking a particular credit class but do not want to receive college credit may choose to audit any of the College’s courses. An audit does not require students to meet specific course requirements, but students should participate fully in class activities. Note the following:

• X appears on the transcript.
• X is not calculated into a student’s GPA.
• Tuition is the same as classes taken for credit.
• Audited courses do not meet graduation or transfer requirements and are not eligible for financial aid.
• 学生可以在本学期第七周结束前将旁听状态转换为常规状态，反之亦然。

Graduation

The College will automatically award certificates or degrees upon completion of the requirements in the student’s declared program. No application is necessary. Students will be notified of their progress as they approach completion and again after the certificate or degree has been awarded. Students use GradTracks, an online degree evaluation tool, to track their progress to completion and must be sure their academic record accurately represents the catalog year and certificate or degree they are pursuing.

Students who wish to be awarded a certificate or degree that is not their declared program must complete the onlineapplication for degree or certificateno earlier than their final term.

The College provides advising toward its certificates and degrees; however, students are ultimately responsible for being informed about degree requirements and for selecting appropriate classes.

Graduation Requirements

A certificate or degree is awarded when it meets the appropriate course requirements listed in this catalog and the student has met the following guidelines:

• 完成学位要求的最低学分数。
• Earn a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade-point average at COCC.
• Owe no debt to the College.
• 完成至少24个学位适用的居留学分的副学士学位，18个证书适用的居留学分的两年证书，9个证书适用的居留学分的一年证书或职业道路证书。
• Meet at least one of the following criteria:
  1. Students have three years to complete their program under the catalog in which they began or any subsequent catalog.
     1. 学生的默认目录年是学生被学院录取的年份，学生可以在该默认目录年或下两个目录年中的任何一个下毕业。
     2. If the student has a break in enrollment for four consecutive terms, the student must reapply to the College, and the default catalog year will now be the year the student is readmitted.
     3. The student’s choice of catalog years is limited to two catalog years before the student’s year of graduation; if the student does not graduate within three catalog years of student’s admittance, the default catalog year will be updated yearly to the subsequent catalog year.
  2. 学生转回学院其他学院学分，并满足当前学院目录或前两年目录中列出的学位要求。

当学生在最后一学期完成学位要求时，学位将在该学期公布。当学生离开学院后使用转学学分时，学位将在学位评估成功完成的学期内公布，并确定满足所有学位要求。

Multiple/Concurrent Degrees

Students applying for multiple or concurrent degrees must meet the degree requirements outlined above and as listed for each degree. For each additional degree, students must: complete at least 15 credits at COCC that are different than those used for the other degree(s) are applicable to the additional degree requested; complete an application for degree no earlier than their final term.

Graduation Honor Roll

Honors will be listed on graduates' transcripts based on the following cumulative GPA from the end of the term before the student’s graduation:

Honors

GPA	Honor
3.60–3.74	honors
3.75–3.89	high honors
3.90–4.00	highest honors

Graduates participating in commencement exercises will receive honor cords. Graduates with a 4.00 cumulative GPA will have an asterisk by their name in the annual commencement program.

Commencement

每年春季学期结束后的6月举行一次毕业典礼。所有满足副学士学位、两年结业证书、一年结业证书或职业道路结业证书要求的学生，如果他们已经或将在过去的秋季、冬季或春季学期或即将到来的夏季学期获得证书或学位，都有资格参加毕业典礼;只有夏季毕业的候选人谁证明了一个现实的计划，以完成所有要求在夏季学期结束是合格的。要参加毕业典礼，学生必须回复。

International Credentials

International credentials will be evaluated using the following principles:

• Coursework must be completed at a nationally recognized, university-level institution and must be at a level of achievement comparable to the College's A, B, C and D grades. Note that a D will not be accepted for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer, foundational requirements, and some programs. See individual program descriptions. The applicability of such transfer credit will be evaluated as is credit from United States institutions.
• Association of International Educators and American Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers guidelines will be used in evaluating credentials.
• 学生将支付与国际成绩单评估相关的费用。

每个持有国外大学成绩单的学生都有责任将成绩单翻译(如果有必要)并进行评估，以获得COCC证书或学位。学生必须使用国家资格评估服务协会的成员。有关外国成绩单评估的详细信息可在招生和记录办公室获得。在美国以外教学的英语可能不符合学院的英语作文要求。外国学位并不免除通识教育或写作能力的要求。

Midterm Grade Reports

Midway through each term, instructors have the option to file grades of D, F, or NP for students (including those who are not regularly attending class) whose performance indicates it. It is entirely at the instructor’s discretion to submit or not submit a midterm grade report. If an instructor submits a midterm grade, an email is sent to the student's COCC email address.

如果学生不想继续上课，他们必须承担退出的责任。

Repeat Grade Policy

As a general rule, if a student takes the same course twice, whether at the College or another institution, only one course may be used to satisfy certificate or degree requirements.

Institutional Repeat Policy

If a student repeats a course, and both courses were taken at the College, the most recent course will be calculated in the cumulative GPA and applied toward degree requirements. The original course and grade will remain on the transcript with an R indicating it was later repeated. The original course grade will not be calculated in the GPA for that term or in cumulative GPA. Students may repeat a course as many times as they wish; however, only the original/first course’s grade will be excluded from the term, and cumulative GPA and only the most recent course will be used toward graduation requirements. There is no limit to the number of courses a student may repeat unless otherwise stated in specific program requirements.

音乐或戏剧表演、工作室艺术、合作工作经验和健康与人类表演(HHP)活动课程可以重复获得学分。该课程的成绩和学分将记录在成绩单上，并累计合计。在某些情况下，当这些课程被用于证书或学位时，可能会有总学分的限制。学生可以复读的课程数量没有限制。如果学生希望在音乐或戏剧表演、工作室艺术、合作工作经验和HHP活动课上使用复读政策，他们必须完成一份学生申请并将其提交到招生和记录办公室;课程重复政策将自动适用于所有其他课程。

Transfer Repeat Policy

If a student has repeat courses transferred from another institution, the College will use the following criteria to determine which course applies to needed requirements:

• The most recent COCC course with a grade C or better.
• If both courses came from other institutions, the transfer course with the highest grade will be selected.
• Some degrees and certificates have specific policies on permissible age of transfer courses; refer to the applicable program description.

Transfer Credit Articulation

In keeping with the philosophy that college-level knowledge can be validated and documented in various ways, Central Oregon Community College recognizes many educational experiences for credit. A guiding principle of the College's transfer credit practice is that acceptable transfer credit is applied in the same manner as is credit earned at the College.

在其他地区认可的机构获得的转学学分，在申请COCC学位要求时一般会被接受。如果学生希望使用以前的大学学分来获得COCC学位，应订购以前学院的正式成绩单。学院将把成绩单与学生入学申请中列出的证书或学位联系起来。在学院的在线学位审核工具GradTracks上，可以看到这些表述。

Limits on college credit transfer are:

• Subject matter may not duplicate that for which credit has previously been awarded in transfer or at the College.
• 其他机构颁发的生活经验学分不能转让给COCC。
• 支持特定宗教观点的课程通常不等同于COCC课程。
• In some cases, science credits more than five years old may not be applicable to specific programs.
• 只有成绩(a、B、C、D、及格、满意)并获得学分的课程才会被考虑转学分。请注意，一个D将不接受俄勒冈州的副艺术学位，基础要求，和一些项目;参见个别项目要求。
• Students working toward a COCC degree or certificate must meet residency credit requirements for the degree or certificate. Challenge, Advanced Placement, College Level Examination Program, and Credit for Prior Certification, credits do not meet residency requirements.

Non-collegiate, Non-accredited and Non-regionally Accredited Institutions

The College will evaluate records for career and technical education students from these types of institutions (such as business and trade schools) under the following guidelines:

• Only coursework that is technical in nature and certificate or degree applicable will be evaluated.
• Coursework will be evaluated by the appropriate career and technical education program director.
• 必须提交足够的文件(成绩单，证书，课程描述等)，以便进行知情的审查。文件必须直接从发起机构或项目收到。美国教育委员会(American Council on Education)将协助评估这些证书。在某些情况下，COCC教员将被咨询以评估特定的证书。
• Material must be equivalent to regular credit courses offered at the College. Credit is not considered based on what the student knows but on the content of, and recorded achievement in, the course itself.
• Material may not duplicate that for which credit has previously been awarded in transfer or at COCC.

Advanced Placement Exams

学院通过授予在AP考试中获得3分或以上成绩的学生学分来认可AP成绩。AnAP equivalency tableoutline how credit will be awarded and is maintained on the college website. Credit is applied to a student’s record after the student has been admitted to the College and after official transcripts or score reports have been received by the Admissions and Records office.

International Baccalaureate

The College recognizes International Baccalaureate (IB) achievement by awarding credit to students who score four or above on standard or high-level IB exams. AnIB equivalency table学校网站上保留了如何授予学分的提纲。学分是在学生被学院录取，并且招生和记录办公室收到正式成绩单或成绩报告后才申请到学生的记录。

Transferring Credits to a Four-Year University

一般来说，俄勒冈公立大学将接受多达124个低年级四分之一小时的可转换大学学分。最终，学生有责任了解并满足他们希望转学的四年制学院或大学的课程要求。学生可以获得学术顾问的帮助。

在转学课程(100- 299)中获得A、B或C的成绩通常被其他学院接受;其他等级的可转让性可能有限。学院还与四年制大专院校的选拔性课程安排了部分职业和技术教育课程的转学。

Students seeking a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree should be aware of world language and other degree or major-specific requirements.

Alcohol and Drug Policy

In compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690, Title V, Subtitle D) and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), it shall be the policy of Central Oregon Community College to maintain a drug-free campus for all employees and students. It is the College's responsibility to notify students and staff of college policy. In accordance with this intent, the following policy is in effect:

Drug-Free Campus

The unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol is prohibited on the college campus, in all college facilities, or as part of any college-sponsored activity. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of state and federal law, and employee and student consequences are stated in the drug-free campus policy.

Employees and students can find drug and alcohol abuse prevention information on thecollege website.

Concerns Regarding Gender Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, or Misconduct, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence and Stalking

Students or employees who believe they have experienced or witnessed discrimination, sexual harassment or misconduct, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking are encouraged to report this information via the College'sincident reporting system或致电541-383-7211与学生事务副主席/教育法九部主任联络。校园外的骚扰、不端行为或校园社区成员的暴力行为应及时报告。

No Retaliation Statement

No one at the College may reprimand, discriminate, or otherwise retaliate against an individual for initiating an inquiry or complaint in good faith nor against other individuals who share information related to the complaint.

Title IX Statement

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. This includes discrimination based on sexual orientation, discrimination based on gender identity, discrimination based on pregnancy, or parental status; any acts of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, stalking; and failure to provide equal opportunity in educational programming and activities.. For questions about Title IX, contact the Title IX officer at 541-383-7211 or visit theTitle IX page.

Directory/Release of Information

The College does not publish a student directory. Requests for directory information must clearly state the student’s name.

Central Oregon Community College considers the following information to be directory information and may release it if requested:

• Student’s full name
• Terms of attendance (not daily attendance)
• Major field of study
• Enrollment status
• Degrees, certificates, and honors awarded
• Address and telephone number
• Email address
• Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
• Most recent previous school attended
• Class standing (freshman or sophomore status)

Students who do not want the College to release this information must submit a signed statement requesting it to be withheld. Contact Admissions and Records for a form and additional information. The request to withhold information remains in effect until the student submits a signed statement indicating that directory information may be released. Students should update the College with addresses and telephone numbers. Students can update this through their Bobcat Web Account.

Information, such as grades, progress in coursework, financial aid status, and class schedule, will not be released except as authorized by law. If students wish to have this information released to parent/guardians, employers, or other non-college entities, they must submit a release of information form to Admissions and Records. The release is valid until the student requests in writing to have it revoked.

Nondiscrimination Policy

Release of Directory Information for Military Recruiting Purposes

Under the Solomon Amendment Interim Rule to implement the National Defense Authorization Act of 1995 and of 1996 and the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997, schools receiving Title IV funding must provide military access to directory information for students 17 years of age or older. For purposes of the act, directory information is defined as name, address, telephone listing, email address, date and place of birth, level of education, degrees received, and the educational institution in which the student was most recently enrolled. Students who have formally requested to withhold all directory information from third parties will not be included.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is banned in all of the buildings of Central Oregon Community College. Smoking or the use of smokeless tobacco is limited to campus parking lots unless otherwise noted. Use in parking lots adjacent to buildings must be 25 feet away from any portion of the building. During high fire danger periods, smoking will be banned completely.

Social Security Number/Information Consent

The College adheres to the following policy statement:

Providing your Social Security number is voluntary. If you provide it, the College will use your social security number for keeping records, doing research, aggregate reporting, extending credit and collecting debts. Your Social Security number will not be given to the general public. If you choose not to provide your Social Security number, you will not be denied any rights as a student. Providing your Social Security number means that you consent to use of the number in the manner described.

Oregon Administrative Rule 589-004-0400 authorizes Central Oregon Community College to ask students to provide their Social Security numbers. The numbers will be used by the college for reporting, research, and record keeping. The numbers will also be provided by the College to Data for Analysis (D4A), which gathers information about students and programs to meet state and federal reporting requirements. It also helps colleges plan, research, and develop programs. This information helps the College to support the progress of students and their success in the workplace and other education programs.

D4A or the College may provide a student’s Social Security number to the following agencies or match it with records from the following systems:

• State and private universities, colleges, and vocational schools to find out how many community college students continue their education and to find out whether community college courses are a good basis for further education.
• The Oregon Employment Department, which gathers information, including employment and earnings, to help state and local agencies plan education and training services to help Oregon citizens get the best jobs available.
• The Oregon Department of Education to provide reports to local, state, and federal government. The information is used to learn about education, training, and job market trends for planning, research, and program improvement.
• The Oregon Department of Revenue and collection agencies only for purposes of processing debts and only if the College extends credit to the student.

州和联邦法律保护学生记录的隐私。社会安全号码仅用于上述目的。然而，有时法律规定必须公开学生的社会安全号码。

Student Concerns Process

The College has a student concerns process designed to provide employees, students, and community members a way to appeal college decisions. Contact Student Life at 541-383-7590 for a copy of the procedure or see thestudent concerns pagefor more information.

Student Educational Records and Directory Information

Admissions & Records maintains all official academic records of enrolled students including, but not limited to, transcripts, registration forms, transfer credits, and degree evaluations. For record-keeping purposes, the College considers web registration as part of a student’s official record. The Financial Aid office maintains all student aid and scholarship records.

2022世界杯四强比赛直播中央俄勒冈社区学院遵循《1974年家庭教育权利和隐私法案-佩尔-巴克利修正案联邦健康教育和福利指南》，该指南给予就读高等教育机构的学生检查其教育记录的权利。

Those rights are:

1. The right to inspect and review their education records within 45 days of the day COCC receives a request for access.Students must contact the registrar at 541-383-7500 orwelcome@cocc.edu并提交一份书面请求，指明他们希望查看的具体记录。注册主任将作出安排，并通知学生检查记录的时间和地点。学院有权扣留欠学院债务的学生的成绩单。学生有权与一名有权解决此类争议的代表讨论此事。
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.Students should write the registrar, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, COCC will notify and advise the student of the decision and of the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. The College will provide additional information regarding hearing procedures.
3. 同意披露学生教育记录中包含的个人身份信息的权利，除非FERPA未经同意授权披露。One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interest.
