Index
Yes, college can be expensive. It costs money and time and energy.
Is it worth it?
Absolutely. Statistically, those with a two-year degree earn an average of $400,000* more
in a lifetime than those with only a high school diploma.
A good college education makes you think and challenge the status quo.
You want the education but you dont want to be saddled with student loans.
No problem.
Thats where Bristol Community College comes in. At Bristol Community College, you
can earn an education in a way that works for you. You dont have to mortgage your
future to get it.
Take time to consider why so many students just like you come to Bristol Community
College. That place nearby, the one youve heard about, can lead to You, Improved!

Additional Costs
Students accepted into the program are responsible for associated costs such as uniforms, name tags, safety supplies,
transportation to and from clinical assignments, and certification exam application fees.
Grade Requirements
A minimum of C- is required for BIO 154, BIO 239, CHM 115, CHM 116, and MTH 119 to provide the necessary
foundation for MED courses. Students must pass all components of the MED courses (lecture and laboratory on campus
and clinical practicum at the affiliate agency) with a minimum grade of C-. Students who do not achieve the minimum grade of C- in the on campus lecture and laboratory components will not be allowed to progress to the clinical
practicum. A student who fails to attain a minimum grade of C- in the clinical practicum will receive a course grade no
higher than a D. Failure to achieve the required grade in MED courses may result in dismissal from the program.
Clinical Affiliations
Placement in a clinical practicum is a full-time commitment and students should limit outside work obligations.
Transportation to clinical practicum sites is the responsibility of the students. Students should be prepared to travel an hour or
more from campus. The availability of clinical practicums depends on the area healthcare providers ability to accept students.
At Bristol Community College, placement decisions will be based on grade point average with emphasis on the MED and
science and mathematics courses. In some cases, practicums may be completed beyond the semester schedule. All related practicums must be completed within six months of completing the lecture/laboratory component of MED course. Students who
exceed this time limit must demonstrate that they have maintained competency prior to placement.
Essential Functions
The Clinical Laboratory Science program essential functions include certain cognitive, physical and behavioral abilities which are necessary to perform the duties of a professional Clinical Laboratory Technician.
In order to meet the course requirements, students must possess the following basic abilities:
Cognitive ability sufficient to learn and use the body of knowledge necessary to meet the program curriculum
requirements and attain career entry status in the profession.
Physical ability, sufficient mobility, and motor coordination to safely collect and process patient specimens and
perform laboratory testing procedures using a microscope, computer and various types of diagnostic instruments.
Visual acuity sufficient to read and interpret test procedures, physician orders and test results, monitor instrument function, focus a microscope and differentiate colors.
Hearing ability sufficient to respond to messages and requests from patients, physicians, and staff and to
respond to equipment signals.
Communication skills sufficient to allow for communication with instructors, staff, patients and physicians.
Emotional stability sufficient to interact professionally with instructors, staff, patients, and physicians; respect
patient confidentiality; use reasonable judgment; and accept responsibility for their actions.
This is a competitive program. Successful candidates have excelled in high school and/or college science and math courses. Applicants must have completed high school algebra I and II, chemistry, and biology with a minimum grade of C.
Students applying to BCC with a G.E.D. test rather than a high school diploma must take the required courses prior to
being considered for admission to the program.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROGRAM
91
Students applying to BCC with a G.E.D. or successful performance on an ATB test rather than with a high school diploma
will need to take the required courses at BCC before being considered for admission to the program.
Meeting these minimum criteria places the applicant in the selection pool but does not guarantee admission to the Dental
Hygiene program. Final selection will be based on the applicant pool and space available. Many students find that taking
general and elective courses before entering the program allows for full focus on the challenging Dental Hygiene curriculum.
BIO 233 and BIO 234 (equivalent to college anatomy and physiology 1 and 2,) B- or greater in both

(chicken pox) immunizations or titres results (blood test to prove immune status). A TB test is required each year.
Health insurance is required. Additional laboratory tests, including drug screening, are required by clinical agencies.
Upon admission to the Dental Hygiene program, students will be required to submit to a C.O.R.I. (Criminal Offender Record Information) check that identifies any criminal offense history. A positive C.O.R.I. check may prevent students from
working as a student in contracted health facilities, which will prevent students from completing the program objectives.
All students must be CPR certified by the American Heart Association (Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers).
Students must present evidence of certification before beginning DHG 122 and must maintain certification until the
completion of DHG 242.
Additional Costs

They are responsible for purchasing instruments and uniforms, and paying CPR and Board application fees.
Grade Requirements
A grade of C or better must be attained in each clinical course, and a C- or better in all other DHG courses.
Essential Functions
Essential functions required of students accepted into the program include the ability to speak and write with clarity; to
provide safe standard of care; to possess motor skills and coordination to meet the needs of the patient; to utilize intellectual, emotional, and cognitive factors; and to possess the visual acuity necessary to coordinate patient care and manage
procedures in a dental care facility.
The Dental Hygiene program is a competitive program with selective admission requirements. A limited number of
students are admitted to the Dental Hygiene Program.

To choose the best electives for your career interests, consider the descriptions of
the various disciplines and match your choices to the recommendation. When in
doubt, speak to an advisor.
Mechanical Engineering
Perhaps the broadest of all engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering is generally combined into three areas: energy, structures and motion in mechanical systems, and manufacturing used in combination to design, develop, test, and manufacture industrial machinery, consumer products, and other equipment.
To ensure transferability, consult with your advisor, applicable transfer agreements, and/or
transfer institutions before selecting electives.

Academic Policies and Grading in CDE Programs
Grading in Self-Paced Learning Labs: Students who successfully complete a QUEST self-paced learning lab course
earn grades of A, B, or C including plus and minus grades.
Students who make satisfactory progress and complete at
least 50 percent of the required coursework will receive a
grade of S (Satisfactory) and must register for the same
lab course the following semester. The S grade is not
final and does not apply to the degree or the grade point
average (G.P.A.).
Students who do not make satisfactory progress and complete less than 50 percent of the course requirements will
receive a grade of U (Unsatisfactory) and must register
for the same course in a traditional lecture section in the
following semester. U grades are treated in the same way
as F grades with regard to satisfactory progress, academic
standing, and G.P.A.
Academic Standing and Dismissal: Full-time students in
the General Studies Prep program, including ESL students,
are placed on probation if they fail to complete a minimum
of 9 credits of coursework with a minimum grade of C-
after one semester.
Students may be dismissed from the college if they fail to
complete the 9-credit minimum after two semesters. Dismissed students may re-enroll only as non-degree students
and are not eligible for financial aid.
See Academic Information for grading policy for developmental courses (i.e., course numbers beginning with 0).

The Community College Advantage in action
By enrolling in a transfer program, you can earn the first
two years of your four-year degree at BCC and take advantage of the affordable tuition and fees while getting
a great education. Some career programs can transfer as
well. Our Transfer Affairs office helps you get credit where
credit is due, so you can transfer the maximum number of
your BCC credits into the college of your choice.
Scholarships are available for BCC graduates who transfer to some four-year colleges and universities. To qualify,
students must graduate from BCC and apply and be accepted to the four-year institution. Most scholarships require at least a G.P.A. of 3.0. These colleges, universities,
and organizations offer transfer scholarships.
Transfer agreements
BCCs Transfer Affairs office has negotiated agreements
with a variety of four-year colleges for transfer students
who have completed their associates degree. Some of
these agreements guarantee admission and ensure full
junior standing to the BCC degree holders who achieve
a certain G.P.A. and meet specific requirements. Most of
these agreements indicate course equivalents and prereq138
MassTransfer
MassTransfer, a new statewide policy benefiting BCCs
transfer students, will guarantee admission to Massachusetts state colleges and universities, full transfer of credit,

*Includes tuition and fee waivers and directly-applied institution, state and federal financial aid.
Policies
Once a student registers, he/she is responsible for payment in full of all tuition and fee charges. Students must
fulfill all financial obligations to the College. Overdue student accounts will be sufficient cause for administrative
withdrawal from the College, and/or other administrative
penalties by the College. Unpaid accounts will be referred
for collection, and the student will bear all costs and
charges incurred in the collection, and/or litigation. The
Massachusetts Health Insurance Law requires that all students enrolled in nine or more credits are required to have
basic health insurance. By law, Bristol Community College
automatically charges all students who are registered for
nine or more credits with this health insurance fee. The
annual fee may be waived before school begins (usually
when you register), documenting comparable health insurance coverage. You must complete the waiver online at
www.UniversityHealthPlans.com (click on Massachusetts
Community Colleges, click on Bristol Community College,
then click on Student Accident and Sickness Insurance
Plan). The waiver form is listed on the left. A waiver must
be complete in order for this charge to be removed from
the students account and the online waiver is the only
accepted method to waive coverage. Students purchase
their own textbooks, materials, and supplies, all available
at the College bookstore. Students should estimate transportation and food costs in calculating their expenses for
the year.
A financial statement of the College is available in the Administration office.
Tuition exemptions
Completed waiver applications must be submitted at the
time of registration. For any waiver, the appropriate waiver forms must be presented at the time of registration. No
refunds are given if eligibility forms are submitted late.
Tuition waivers cannot be used for credit by examination,
directed study or contract learning. (Waiver may not be
used for ed2go classes, the noncredit Paralegal course, or
the credit Medical Billing and Coding program.)
National Guard
Active members of the Massachusetts Army or Air National Guard are eligible for a full tuition and fee waiver.
This waiver applies to all qualified students, full- and
part-time, and for all credit and certificate courses up to
a maximum of 130 semester credit hours per student. Eligible students must present a valid (bearing a raised seal)
Certificate of Eligibility issued by the Military Division of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Veteran waiver
Veterans who are Massachusetts residents may be eligible for a tuition waiver. Those eligible must submit form
DD-214 (long form) for review and approval prior to registering. Waiver is for credit courses only. For more information, please call the Enrollment Center.
Third-party payment
Students whose courses will be paid by a third party such
as their employer, an agency, or military branch must submit the appropriate documentation or authorizing letters
prior to, or at the time of, registration. (Note: Students who
will receive reimbursement contingent upon completion of
their course must pay in full at the time of registration.)
Hope Scholarship
(Education Tax Credit)
Students enrolled in six credits or more in the first two
years of an undergraduate program day or evening are
eligible for the Hope Scholarship, a federal tax credit. Students pay for their tuition and fees, and then can claim a
tax credit against their tax liability. Students may take a
credit of 100 percent of the first $1,000, and 50 percent of
the next $1,000, for a maximum in any tax year of $1,500.
Students are eligible for the credit for two years. The Financial Aid office and Student Accounts office have more
information on this tax credit, but for specific information
consult a tax advisor.
139
If a student withdraws from a course(s) prior to the beginning of classes or during the first two weeks of classes, the
student will receive a 100 percent refund for the credits
from which s/he withdraws. If a student withdraws from a
course(s) during the third week of classes, the student will
receive a 50 percent refund for the credits from which s/he
withdraws. If the student withdraws from a course(s) after
the first three weeks of classes there will be no refund. It
takes four to six weeks for the refund to process.
Financial Aid
Bristol Community College receives some of its funding
from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is subsidized by state tax revenues. This means that students pay
only a portion of the total cost of a BCC education.
The College and the Financial Aid office reserve the right
to determine the type, amount, and/or revision of financial
aid. Awards are contingent upon the availability of funding,
the students course load, and regulations governing those
funds.
Financial aid may be denied or cancelled if a student does
not continue to meet eligibility requirements at any time during the academic year. If a student fails to meet satisfactory
progress standards or is in default on Title IV or state grant
or loan funds, financial aid will be denied or cancelled.
Argy Scholarship
You may apply for aid anytime, but we give priority to students
who complete their financial aid file by May 1. Some Rhode Island grant deadlines are March 1. Some Massachusetts grants
have a May 1 deadline.
You must apply for financial aid every year you need it, but
every time you demonstrate financial need, we will work
with you and your family to help meet your education-related expenses.

Tobacco Free
As of Summer 2010, tobacco use is not permitted on any Bristol Community College campus or site.
Orientation: Orientation, offered before the semester begins, gives new students an opportunity to learn about their
rights and responsibilities, as well as the services offered to
them by BCC. New students also come to campus prior to
the start of classes to select courses and register with the help
of an academic advisor.
Connections Services
Connections Services supports students experiencing problems in a specific course. Referrals are made by faculty or staff
or students may make an appointment. Advisors work with
each student to help him or her get the services needed to
become more successful at school. Connections literally connects the student to a variety of services on campus including
tutoring, personal, career or academic counseling, and other
services to help get the student back on track. Call ext. 2761
for more information or stop by room G208 to learn more.
Student Life
At Bristol Community College, education extends beyond
the classroom. You can develop new skills by participating in
extracurricular activities. No matter what your interests, you
can find a group of like-minded students who get together
at BCC. Many of the degree programs sponsor clubs where
you can gather with your fellow future professionals to learn
more about the field. If you are a writer or photographer, you
can utilize your talents on the student newspaper, The BCC
Observer. If acting or production interests you, join the College drama association, BCC Club Theatre. We also have
clubs that focus on the celebration of the many cultures represented on Campus.
If you have an eye for politics, you can represent the interests
of fellow students on BCCs Student Senate. The Senate offers a great opportunity for the development of leadership,
interpersonal, and public relations skills. You may also represent students by participating on a College-wide committee.
Along with faculty, staff, and administrators, you can make
recommendations on such issues as academic standards,
the College budget, bookstore and cafeteria concerns, and
Orientation Day.
In addition to the opportunity to develop valuable skills that
employers will find attractive, the Student Life office works to
provide opportunities to meet others and have fun. During
the year, the Student Life office sponsors many events such
as lectures, picnics, comedy shows, bands, off-campus trips
to museums, sporting events, and movies.
Contact the Student Life Office in the Commonwealth College Center, G102, ext. 2222, or the office at the New Bedford
Campus at ext. 4000.

Appeals process
A student who has withdrawn and desires to reenter the College must reapply to the Admissions office. Readmittance to a
program is not guaranteed.
Reinstatement
Official grades
Students who must withdraw for personal, medical, or financial reasons should meet with a counselor to complete the

Attendance
Attending every class meeting is important to your success in
college. Guidelines for attendance are established by the faculty within a department or program, with the approval of the
divisional dean. Instructors provide students with that attendance policy in writing by the end of the first week of classes,
including how excused and unexcused absences will affect
grades. In the absence of an individual attendance policy stated on the syllabus, the following will be enforced:
Any absences in excess of six hours from a face-to-face course
may result in withdrawal from the course, unless otherwise
specified in the current course syllabus. In an eLearning course,
the lack of any email contact, postings, or assignments for a
one week period may also be considered a three hour absence, and will usually be handled the same way as the faceto-face class.
Please note that individual faculty, departments, and/or programs may enact more strenuous policies as specified in the
course syllabus. Faculty members take attendance for each
class session. It is the students responsibility to know the attendance policy in each class and laboratory.
Unless an announcement is made to the contrary, a class is
considered dismissed if the instructor does not appear within fifteen minutes of the beginning of a class period. Students who expect to be absent for an extended period due
to illness, accident, or other unavoidable problem should
notify the vice president of Enrollment Services.
Students who attend a field trip should make arrangements
with their other course instructors to make up any assignments missed on that day. Those who cannot attend classes,
take an exam, study, or fulfill class assignments on a particular day because of their religious beliefs will be given
an opportunity to make up their work at the convenience
of the instructor. Students cannot be penalized for taking
advantage of this right.
Course load
A full-time course load is 12 credit hours or more a semester.
Students on academic probation can register for no more
than 13 credits. A load of five courses (15 to 17 credit hours)
is considered to be the normal load, although in some programs more credits may be required in some semesters to
complete the program within two years. Honor students (3.2
or higher average) may register for six courses (18-20 credit
hours). Requests for exceptions may be made in writing to
the Academic Standing Committee.
Plan for at least two to three hours of study for each class
hour. A student carrying 15 credits, for example, should
schedule 30 to 45 hours for study each week.
Final examinations
Final examinations, including projects and other evaluation
activities, are given during the week following the end of
classes each semester. Final examinations can be made up
only for compelling reasons, such as accidents or sickness,
and with the permission of the instructor.
A physicians certificate may be required if the reason is
medical. A student who misses a final examination is responsible for contacting the instructor and arranging to
take the exam during the scheduled make-up and conflict
period or at another time. If the instructor is not available
the student should contact the appropriate divisional dean.
Dropping a course
Students who need to adjust their schedules due to a
change in program or other reason may do so during the
registration period and through the first week of classes. After the first week of classes student cannot add a class without instructor authorization. Students may drop any course
through the second week of classes without penalty. After
the second week of classes any student who drops a class
will receive a grade of W (see Withdrawal Policy).
To receive a W, students must consult a counselor and the
instructor by or before the tenth week of classes.
The counselor and instructor sign a withdrawal form signifying that the consultations have occurred. Withdrawal forms
also are available in the Advisement/Counseling Center. A
grade of either W or F may be assigned at the discretion of the instructor to any student who withdraws from a
course or from the College after the tenth week of classes.
Forms must be forwarded to the Enrollment Center.
Auditing a course
A student may audit a single course for no credit with the
consent of the instructor. A student may register for audit one
week prior to the start of class through the Drop/Add period.
No grade is given, but the notation of L is made on the
permanent record.
A student may repeat a course for credit the next semester
after auditing a course. An audited class is not eligible for financial aid. Students may change from audit status to a credit
status with approval of the instructor/department chair/divisional dean. Students would be responsible for the difference
in cost from the audit status to the credit status.
Repeating a course
Students receiving a C- or below for a course may repeat
the course once. The grade received on the second attempt
becomes official. Courses in which the student receives a
C or higher cannot be repeated for credit. Students who
wish to repeat clinical courses must apply for readmission
to the program.
Students may change their program or areas of concentration by completing a change of program through the Enrollment Center or at the administrative offices at the other
campuses. International students attending BCC on an F-1
visa must receive approval for program changes from the
Registrars office.

Service-Learning
The Service-Learning program at BCC offers students a
unique opportunity to combine classroom theory in any discipline with community practice in a non-profit agency and,
at the same time, to develop a sense of social responsibility.
While some community colleges require a minimum of 20
hours per service-learning experience over a semester, BCC
requires a minimum of 10 hours. Along with performing the
service itself, students complete one or more reflective exercises chosen by their instructor to enhance understanding
of course content, appreciation of the discipline, and sense
of civic engagement. Some BCC faculty incorporate servicelearning into their syllabi as a requirement; others offer it as
an option. If a student has a particular service-learning experience in mind but cannot find a course for it, s/he may be
able to do it via Contract Learning (see Contract Learning
on the next page). Many four-year colleges and universities
require or strongly encourage service-learning, and prospective employers also look favorably on service-learning
and other experiential learning activities.
program.
b. Earn a minimum 3.5 cumulative G.P.A. while at BCC.
c. Earn a minimum of 30 credits completed at BCC.
d. Participate in a minimum of four honors experiences (10

Students must also complete an honors project (or pos-
Contract Learning
For students who want to investigate personal academic
interests or pursue more experimental methods of learning,
the College offers a flexible credit format where students
can create part of their own study program. Advisors work
with the student to determine plans, identify appropriate
resource people, and write a learning contract. The contract
includes the students goals, how and when s/he intends to
accomplish them, and how that work will be evaluated. The
credits earned are determined by the work proposed and
may not total more than one-eighth of total credit hours required for graduation.
Students register with the Enrollment Center. Tuition is based
on the number of credits determined through the learning
contract. Proposals must be signed by the student, the advisor, the appropriate divisional dean, and the associate vice
president of Academic Affairs. Credit will be awarded only if
approval is granted before the student starts the project.
Directed study
A directed study is an independent study or group study
course, under the sponsorship of a faculty member, that
meets the objectives of a regular course offering. If a required course or its equivalent is not available, directed
study permits a matriculated student to enroll in a course
needed to graduate or to complete a prerequisite for another required course. The Academic Affairs office may also
approve other requests based on special student and/or
programmatic needs.
A directed study course requires the approval of the instructor, the appropriate divisional dean, and the associate vice
president of Academic Affairs. Credit for a directed study
course is equivalent to credit for a regular course offering.
Approval forms are available in the Enrollment Center. Students with approved directed study forms must register
through the Enrollment Center. Tuition based on the number of credits approved will be charged at that time.
Credit by Examination
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Advanced Placement (AP) program offer students an opportunity to receive college credit for subject matter learned
through means other than formal college work. The CLEP
Subject Matter, CLEP General, and AP Examinations are applicable for credit. Students may obtain information regarding CLEP and AP examinations through the vice president
of Academic Affairs. Bridgewater State College is a CLEP
examination center. Official AP and CLEP score reports
must be sent to the Office of Admission in order to be evaluated for credit.
A student may receive credit for some BCC courses by passing a comprehensive examination prepared by the department or program in which the course is being offered. Any
student who has been formally accepted into a degree
program at Bristol Community College and has completed
the course prerequisites or received permission from the
program director/department chairperson may take the examinations. Students must request these exams if they want
to take them.
Credit granted for comprehensive examinations will not have
a letter grade assigned. The credit earned cannot be used to
raise grades or remove failures in courses already taken.
Students must meet department criteria in the taking of
these exams. They are responsible to discuss these criteria
with the department chair or program director. Arrangements and registration for credit by examination must be
made through the appropriate PEL advisor, department
chair, program coordinator or divisional dean. Additional
information concerning the complete credit by examination
policy and fees can be obtained by contacting the Enrollment Services office or the PEL Administrator at ext. 2185.
The AP program periodically conducts college score comparability studies in all AP subjects. These studies compare the performance of AP students with that of college
students in the courses for which successful AP students
will receive credit. In general, the AP composite score cutpoints are set so that the lowest composite score for an AP
score of 5 is equivalent to the average score for college
students earning scores of A. Similarly, the lowest composite scores for AP scores of 4, 3, and 2 are equivalent to
the average scores for students with college scores of "B,"
"C, "and "D," respectively.
Students who earn AP Exam scores of 3 or above are generally considered to be qualified to receive college credit
and/or placement into advanced courses due to the fact

Credit by Evaluation
Students may earn equivalent course credit for prior experiences, including instruction sponsored by the military, business and industry, public and private agencies, associations
and educational institutions, and licensure preparation by
regulatory agencies and associations.
National Guides
Credit for noncollegiate courses and educational experiences in the armed services may be awarded according to
the recommendations in the National Guide to Credit Recommendations for Non-collegiate Courses, the Guide to the
Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, the Directory of the National Program of Noncollegiate
Sponsored Instruction (PONSI), and the National Guide to
Educational Credit for Training Programs of the American
Council on Education. A student who submits official documentation attesting to the completion of a course(s) listed
in one of these publications will be awarded appropriate
elective credit by the dean of admissions or the Registrar. If
the credit award involves course equivalent credit, approval
of the appropriate divisional dean and department chair is
required.
Credit by Credential Programs Approved by BCC Students
may earn course credit for programs listed in the PEL Manual,
available in the Enrollment Center, all division offices, and in
the main office at the New Bedford Campus and the Attleboro Center. Equivalent course credit(s) may be granted for
Credit by Credential programs in fields such as computer
technology and programming, manufacturing methods and
processes, electronics, public speaking, income tax preparation, health care, management, fire fighting, and environmental technology. Contact the Prior Experiential Learning
administrator for information.
Credit by Experience
In order to obtain an award of Credit by Experience, students
present a written portfolio documenting college-level competencies acquired through educational, vocational, or personal experiences. The Prior Experiential Learning Coordinator initially evaluates the portfolio to determine comparability
to required or elective courses in the students program of
study. All credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis and
must be approved by the department chair/program director
in consultation with the dean of the appropriate division and
the associate vice president of Academic Affairs. Contact the
Prior Experiential Learning administrator at ext. 2185 or the
appropriate department chair, program coordinator, or divisional dean for information.
Academic integrity
Academic integrity is the keystone of teaching, learning,
and assessment. Bristol Community College is committed
to promoting and supporting this ideal. In fact, it is fundamental to our mission. All students, faculty, staff, and administrators are expected to maintain a high standard of
academic honesty and integrity.
College students must assume responsibility for maintaining academic integrity in their work and in the work of others. Students, as colleagues in learning, have a responsibility
to document their own work and to report other incidents of
academic dishonesty or negligence.
Faculty and staff cooperation is necessary to ensure academic integrity, and they should serve as a model for their
students. Syllabi should include their expectations and the
college policy, course materials should be cited, and incidents of academic dishonesty should be addressed and
reported in a timely fashion.
The administrators at Bristol Community College also share
in demonstrating and ensuring academic honesty and integrity. While recognizing that academic freedom is a fundamental right of higher education, it must be supported
by academic integrity and honesty. For that reason, the College will not tolerate academic dishonesty or negligence
and has established policies and procedures to ensure academic honesty and integrity is maintained and supported.
Academic dishonesty
A college community must be established on a foundation
of truth and academic integrity. Bristol Community College
has an obligation not only to promote these high standards
of academic honesty, but also to address academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is demonstrated by cheating, plagiarism, and facilitating academic dishonesty.
unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations; (2) dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those
authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments;
or (3) the acquisition, without permission, of tests or other
academic material belonging to a member of the College
faculty or staff.
Academic penalties
If the faculty member determines that the student did commit an act of academic dishonesty, the faculty member has
the authority to impose any of the following:
Warning
Failing grade in the exam, paper, or other assessment. A
grade of zero is recommended
Revision of work
Reduction in grade
Withdrawal from course
Failing grade in course
Due Process
The above action does not negate the students right to due
process in accordance with the Code of Conduct Disciplinary Process as outlined in the Student Handbook and Academic Calendar.
Academic negligence
Academic Negligence is demonstrated by failure to do assigned work or by excessive absences. A student guilty of
academic negligence may be dropped from a course with a
grade of W or F by the faculty member.
Classroom conduct
Disruptive or distracting classroom behavior is a violation
of the colleges student Code of Conduct. A faculty member has the right to remove a disruptive student from class,
pending a review of the situation by the vice president of
Enrollment Services. Any faculty member may, at any time,
refer a student to the vice president of Enrollment Services
if the student is in violation of the Code of Conduct. The
Vice President of Enrollment Services may impose disciplinary sanctions against the offending student consistent with
the rules and regulations of the Code of Conduct. Please
refer to the Code of Conduct section in the Student Handbook for additional information.
