2. College Level Examination Program (CLEP); 3. Advanced Placement (AP) examinations; 4. DSST Exams;

5. DD214 (Discharge Papers and Separation Documents) or NOBE (Notice of Basic Eligibility); and 6. Joint Services Transcript (JST) or USAF Air University: Community College of the Air Force. For specifics on each type of transfer credit, see Policy 400.13.3 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA): TRANSFER CREDIT – TRADITIONAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL. For CLEP, AP, DSST, DD214, NOBE, and military transcript credits a grade of “Z” is recorded for credit granted. No quality points are granted, and credits granted are not used in computing grade point average. Credit granted by ECCC for Military Services may not transfer to other colleges or universities. Students should contact transfer institutions directly for their current Military Services acceptance and scoring policies. ACADEMIC/CAREER/TECHNICAL PROGRESS MONITORING Students with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of less than benchmark (excluding dual credit) may be subject to Progress Monitoring according to the following: Benchmark 1: Career hours attempted (including withdrawals) >= 24; GPA < 1.5 or career hours earned < 12; Benchmark 2: Career hours attempted (including withdrawals) >= 42; GPA < 1.75 or career hours earned < 28; Benchmark 3: Career hours attempted (including withdrawals) >= 60; GPA < 2.0 or career hours earned < 40, student must continue monitoring through graduation. Students in monitoring may be subject to requirements of additional advising and registration support. PROGRAM OF STUDY A student registering for 15 or more semester hours will be considered a full-time student and should follow one of the curriculums as outlined. Changes of Program of Study requests should be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records before the end of the Census Date (end of the Drop/Add Period) of a given term. After the Census Date, processing of requests for program changes may wait, for reporting reasons, until the beginning of advance registration for the following semester. A student should discuss any proposed changes in his/her program with his/her advisor, and if applicable Financial Aid. CLASS ATTENDANCE AND ABSENCES When a student enrolls in a course, the student assumes the responsibility for attending all class meetings, completing all assignments, and otherwise satisfying the requirements of that course. Realizing that from time to time there may be just cause for absence, the College has established the policy outlined below. The student should discuss with the instructor the impending absence before it occurs if possible or immediately after his/her return to class if the absence was an emergency. The student is responsible for all work missed regardless of the reason for being absent. Instructors will record and report attendance promptly for each class meeting up to and including the last regularly scheduled class meeting of each semester.
