Access To Student Educational Records

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (amended by S.J. Res. 40) gives students the right to inspect their educational records on request, and an opportunity, if they wish, to challenge the content of their records. Parents who claim the student as a dependent under Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, and who furnish more than half of the student s support, have the same rights of inspection and challenge as noted above. A printed copy of a student records can not be released if the student has an outstanding indebtedness to the college.  A copy of the college's policy regarding educational records is available from the Registrar s Office. 
 

A student registering for the first time is required to follow all admissions processes unless registering as a Special Student.  A signed admission application must be completed by all students.  Click here to submit a copy of the Admission Application from the web page.

Exam Schedules

Audit Policy
Auditing is taking a course without receiving credit or a grade. To audit a course, a student must first obtain permission from the instructor, since certain courses cannot be audited. An audit form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar's Office within the first seven days of the term.  Click here to print a copy of the Audit Form.  The student undergoes the same registration procedure and pays the same fees as for a credit course. 

A change from credit status to audit status may be permitted until the seventh calendar day of the semester. 

Students auditing a course may be expected to complete the same requirements as those taking the course for credit, so an audit student should speak with the instructor before the seventh calendar day in the semester. 

Regular attendance is required. An audit student who fails to attend classes on a regular basis may be sent a warning notice and may be withdrawn with a grade of "W" for exceeding authorized absences. 
 

A proficiency exam must be approved by appropriate faculty and the division dean. To apply for credit by examination, contact the division dean.

Transferring Credits to SCC
SCC will accept, for credit, courses which are comparable to those listed in the SCC Catalog. Only courses with a grade of "C" or better are considered for transfer credit. 

Veteran students may apply for possible credit toward graduation for the training received under any of the armed forces college training programs. Credit may also be granted for specialized and technical training done under the auspices of the armed forces and courses taken through USAFI.

Grades for transferred courses are not included in calculating a student s GPA at SCC, although the credit hours may be applied toward a particular program for graduation. A student may transfer to SCC up to one-half the number of credit hours required for graduation in his/her degree program. 

Transfer Guarantee
Upon written agreement, Southeastern Community College will refund the tuition of any College Transfer student for any College Transfer course (except ACA 111 and ACA 115) passed at SCC with at least a "C" grade, or allow the student to take an equivalent number of credit hours at no additional charge, if that earned course credit does not transfer to a specified university within one year of leaving SCC. The college will guarantee that the transfer courses will satisfy graduation requirements for the Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.) or Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) degree at Southeastern and, at the same time, will either transfer to satisfy general education requirements or will transfer as electives at selected universities. 

Any College Transfer student at SCC may participate in this guarantee based on the conditions described in the Southeastern Community College Transfer Guarantee Policy. For more information, see the Vice President of Instructional Services. 

Repeat Policy
Students who earned a grade below a "C" in a course or who completed the course five or more years earlier are allowed to repeat curriculum courses to improve the grade received in the course, to refresh their knowledge of the subject, or to refresh their skills in the subject. The Vice President of Instructional Services will approve any exceptions to the above on an individual basis. The Department of Veterans Administration students are not allowed to repeat previously passed courses and receive benefits.  . 

Effects of Repeating a Class
If a course is repeated, the student must fill out a Course Repeat Form.  (Click here to print a copy of form).  Then the higher grade will be computed in the GPA; the hours earned/attempted (and quality points, if any) on the lower grade will no longer be used in the computation of the GPA. If the same grade is earned on the repeated course, the hours earned/attempted (and quality points, if any) from the first class will no longer be used in the GPA computation. 

Course Substitution Policy
A course may be substituted for a required course in a curriculum if the course being substituted is the functional equivalent of the required course and only with the written approval of the appropriate division dean and Vice President of Instructional Services. 

Dropping a class must take place by the 10% point of the semester.  Students can withdraw from classes from the 10% to the 80% point of the semester. In order for the add, drop or withdraw to be official, the form must be received by the Registrar's Office by the published dates. 

Due to excessive absences the instructor may assign a student a grade of "F" after the 50% date of the semester. For a course that is less than a semester's length or more than a semester in length, the 50% point will be the mid-point of that course. The student must be given/sent a warning notice prior to being withdrawn from a course. 

Each semester, the deadlines for adding classes, dropping classes and withdrawing will be published in the Ram-O-Gram. 

Withdrawal
Students desiring to withdraw from the college should contact the Counseling Center for the form and procedures necessary for official withdrawal. A student who fails to withdraw officially will receive a grade of "F" for each course in which he/she is enrolled and may be unable to register in subsequent semesters. A student may withdraw from school (drop all courses) prior to the first day of the final examination period. If a student s final examination is to be given before the regular examination period, then the student must withdraw before the examination is administered to this class.
