DUAL
ENROLLMENT
Dual Enrollment (DE) refers to students taking PVCC classes at their respective high
schools, simultaneously earning college and high school credit. This means that any grades
received in these classes will be included in your official college transcript. As a PVCC stu-
dent, you are entitled to take advantage of all of the outstanding academic support and stu-
dent services that we have to offer (page 24). For questions and additional advising, please
contact your designated PVCC Career Coach or the Interim Director of Dual Enrollment.

A Note about Footnotes
Most curriculum sheets have footnotes that clarify program requirements. Make sure to read each foot-
note carefully and ask an academic advisor if you are unclear on what the footnote requires from you.
12General
Information
13Student Email
Your student email account will become a very important part of your life at PVCC. Your instructors and
other staff members will only correspond with you through your student email. You will receive official
PVCC information about financial aid, announcements about events and college requirements, and other
updates through this account. It is recommended that you check your student email account at least once a
day when you are actively taking classes.
At the first use of your student email, you will have to set up your email account. After logging in to MyPVCC
with your username and password, select the “Gmail” link (look for the icon pictured above) and follow the
easy-to-navigate prompts to set up your account. It is a good idea to link/forward your student email
account to your personal email account so you will not miss anything important. Contact the IT Help
Desk at 434.961.5261 or stop by room 832 in the Main Building for assistance.
Canvas
You will use Canvas Online Course Management System to access course materials in most of your classes
(both in-person and online courses). Once classes have started, you will be able to click the
Canvas link and see a list of the courses you have registered for. Once you click on a course name, you will
be taken to the course’s individualized site. Don’t worry if you do not see your classes listed
in Canvas before the first day of class. Credit classes show up in Canvas either on the first day of
the class or within 48 hours of registering.
Using the College Catalog
PVCC’s College Catalog includes information about admission, enrollment, degree and certificate
requirements, and academic polices (or rules) that directly affect you as a student. It is your responsibility
to know the rules that may affect your chosen program of study. The catalog provides extensive
information about the programs available at the college. It can be very helpful when planning your academic
experience, especially the course description section found in the last part of the publication. The catalog will
supplement information provided by advising staff and faculty members.
14The catalog changes each year to include new policies and course offerings, but changes can happen any
time during the academic year. This is why it is very important to seek academic advising each semester to
determine how these changes may affect your program of study.
PVCC’s College Catalog can be found at www.pvcc.edu/catalogs.
You typically follow the catalog requirements based on the semester you entered your program of study/
major. For example, if you start taking classes for the associate degree in general studies in fall 2012, you will
follow the requirements of the 2012-2013 catalog. If you change your program of study, you then follow the
catalog requirements based on the semester you made the change. If you take a break from the college
longer than three semesters, you will follow the most recent catalog requirements when you return. Consult
with an academic advisor if you are unsure what catalog requirements you should follow.
Using the Student Handbook
The Student Handbook is informational and subject to all applicable laws and policies of the State Board for
Community Colleges. Policies and procedures made subsequent to the publication of this handbook take
precedence and will be part of the next student handbook publication. All students are expected to abide and
uphold the college’s established policies, rules and regulations. The Student Handbook includes information
about topics such as:
• Student support services (such as disability services)
• Student activities
• PVCC Code of Conduct (your rights and responsibilities as a PVCC student)
• Misconduct hearing procedures
We suggest you familiarize yourself will all the information in the Student Handbook. Not knowing a policy is
not a valid excuse for breaking college regulations. Every effort will be made to provide the most
accurate, helpful and up-to-date information for our students. The statements and the policies in this
handbook are not to be regarded as a contract between the student and the college that cannot be recalled
or changed when conditions so warrant. The college reserves the right to change any of its policies,
procedures, programs and fees.
PVCC’s Student Handbook can be found at www.pvcc.edu/publications.
15FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law designed to protect the privacy
of your educational record. FERPA provides the following:
• The right to have access to your educational record.
• The right to seek to have your educational record amended.
• The right to have control over who has access to the information held in your educational record.
• The right to file a complaint regarding an alleged violation of FERPA.
Since FERPA limits the release of educational records, you must provide written authorization for PVCC to
speak to a third party (e.g., a parent, spouse, employer, etc.) about information regarding enrollments,
grades, financial aid matters, disciplinary action, and more. If you would like to release information to a third
party, you will need to complete the Release of Information to a Third Party Consent Form in the
Admissions & Advising Center.
FERPA permits the following directory information to be released: name, address, telephone listing, electronic
email address, date of birth, dates of attendance, honors earned, programs of enrollment, and degrees or
certificates earned.
As a PVCC student, you have the ability to maintain the privacy of your student record. If you do not
want PVCC to disclose information from your educational records without your written consent, you must log
in to MyPVCC at www.pvcc.edu/mypvcc to restrict your information in your record. For instructions on how
to restrict any or all of your information, visit www.pvcc.edu/about-us/content-disclaimer.

18Academic Standards
Academic Standing
All students must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (“C” average) to be considered in
good academic standing. Please refer to the College Catalog at www.pvcc.edu/catalogs for more detailed
information about academic standing and the consequences of failure to remain in good standing.
W (Withdrawal) Grades
A grade of “W” is awarded to students who withdraw or are withdrawn from a course after the add/drop
period, but prior to the completion of 60% of the course. A grade of “W” results in no credit for the course
and no impact to the GPA. There may be implications for refunds and financial aid for “W” grades.
I (Incomplete) Grades
A grade of “I” is temporarily awarded when a student and faculty member agree that for verifiable unavoidable
reasons, the student is unable to complete the course requirements before the scheduled end of the course.
To be eligible to receive an “I” grade, the student must (1) have satisfactorily completed more than 60% of the
course requirements and (2) request the faculty member assign the “I” grade and indicate why it is warranted
by completing the “Incomplete Grade Form” found at www.pvcc.edu/studentforms. Courses for which the
grade of “I” has been awarded must be completed by the end of the subsequent semester (to include
summer term).
Auditing a Course
Generally, the college does not encourage students to enroll in credit courses on an audit basis. Students
who wish to attend a course without receiving academic credit must submit the “Petition to Audit” form
found at www.pvcc.edu/studentforms and receive permission from the instructor and appropriate division
dean
within the first week of class. Audit students must register and pay the regular tuition. Audited courses
carry no credit, do not count as part of the student’s course load, do not meet degree/certificate
requirements, and do not transfer to other institutions. Students must adhere to the instructor’s
attendance policy when auditing a class. Audit enrollments are on a “space available basis,” and are
completed after the last day to add/drop a course as published on the academic calendar.
Repeating a Course
Any student may repeat a previously attempted course. All course grades will appear on the student’s
transcript record, however, only the most recent grade will be calculated in the student’s cumulative
grade point average. Credit for a repeated course will not be counted twice toward certification of graduation
requirements. Students are normally limited to repeating a course one time. Exception requests may be made
to the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services or the Dean of Student Services.
19Calculate your GPA
A GPA Calculator is available online at
http://gpacalculator.net/college-gpa-calculator
You can also calculate your GPA manually. First, multiply the credits for each course taken by the grade
points (values below) assigned to the grade earned. Second, total the units and grade values. Third, divide
the total number of grade points by the total number of units to find your GPA.
Example:
Grade Values GPA Formula
A = 4.0
B = 3.0 GPA = Total Value Points__
C = 2.0 Total Number of Credits
D = 1.0
F = 0.0
Step 1: Get the Information Step 2: Find the Grade Step 3: Calculate GPA
Values
Courses Credits Grade # Cr. x Grades = Value Points GPA = Step 2 Total
Step 1 Total
SDV 101 1 A 1 credit x 4.0 4.0
ENG 111 3 B 3 credits x 3.0 9.0
ITE 119 3 C 3 credits x 2.0 6.0 GPA = 22 Points
14 Credits
MTH 152 3 D 3 credits x 1.0 3.0
SPA 101 4 F 4 credits x 0.0 0.0
GPA = 1.57
Total: 14 Credits Total: 22.0 Value Points
20Student Success Tips
1. Go to class. Pay attention. Do not use your phone or the internet while in class. Ask questions if you do
not understand something the instructor is saying. Take thorough notes.
2. Seek out the instructor during his/her office hours. Instructors welcome your interest and initiative.
Every instructor has published office hours on their syllabus. When you go to office hours, be prepared to
ask questions, to get suggestions on how to improve your grade, and/or clarify your understanding of
assignments. Bring a pen and paper to take notes.
3. Seek out a Student Success advisor. The Student Success Office can make suggestions about how to
approach your classwork and become a better student. To set up an appointment with a Student Success
advisor, call 434.961.5264 or stop by room 132 in the Main Building.
4. Use the services provided by the First Quadrant Math Center and the Writing Center. These
services, including tutoring, are available to students at no charge.
First Quadrant Math Center: Main Building, room 253, 434.961.5284 (provides assistance in
math, science, and information technology)
Writing Center: Main Building, room 617, 434.961.5499 (provides assistance in the
humanities and social sciences)
Visit www.pvcc.edu/tutoring for more information.
5. Form a study group with three or four students in the same class. Study groups can improve a student’s
understanding of the material by sharing information and filling in “knowledge gaps.” In reviewing
information with other students, you become more familiar with the material, you hear the information
presented in different ways, and you can ask questions for better comprehension.
6. Increase your study time. For every hour in class, a student should spend three hours (or more
depending on the class) outside of class preparing for assignments, reading materials and textbooks,
writing papers, and studying for exams. If you are taking a three-credit class you should be spending at
least nine hours a week getting prepared/studying. It might help to put study time in your calendar/planner
to ensure you have blocked time each week to be prepared.

21Financial Aid Policy of Satisfactory Academic Progress
To be eligible for financial aid, a student must be making satisfactory academic progress, or SAP,
toward his/her degree or certificate program. To measure a student’s progress, the PVCC Financial Aid
Policy of Satisfactory Academic Progress (www.pvcc.edu/pay-for-pvcc/financial-aid/responsibilities) in-
cludes qualitative (i.e., GPA), quantitative (i.e., 67% Rule), and time (i.e.,150% Rule) factors. If you need help
or have questions about this policy, visit the Financial Aid Office in room 136 in the Main Building.
GPA Requirements (GPA Rule): In order to remain eligible for financial aid, students must meet
cumulative grade point average requirements. Only college-level courses with grades of A, B, C, D,
and F are included in this calculation. Transfer credits are excluded from this calculation. In most
cases, to continue receiving financial aid, a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (“C” average) is re-
quired.
Completion Rate (67% Rule): Students must receive satisfactory grades (A, B, C, D, or S or P) in 67% of
all credits attempted. Developmental courses, ESL courses, and transfer credits are included in this
calculation.
Maximum Hours (150% Rule): In order to continue receiving financial aid, a student must
complete his/her program of study before 150% of the credits required have been attempted. For
example, if a program of study is 61 credits, then 150% of 61 credits is 91. A student would need to
complete his/her program of study before reaching 91 credits to receive financial aid for that entire
program. Developmental and ESL coursework are excluded in this calculation. Attempted credits from
all enrollment periods, both graded and pass/fail/satisfactory/unsatisfactory, plus all accepted transfer
credits are counted in this calculation. All previous terms of enrollment are also included, regardless of
whether or not the student actually received financial aid in a particular term and regardless of the age
of the coursework.

Repeated Coursework & Financial Aid
A student may repeat a failed course using financial aid until the course is successfully completed as long as
all other SAP requirements are being met (see above). A student may only repeat a passed course (grade of
D or better) once as long as the intent is to meet an academic standard (e.g., a higher grade is required for
their program of study). Repeated coursework will be included in the evaluation of completion rate (67% Rule)
and maximum timeframe (150% Rule). Only the most recent grade will be included in the cumulative GPA.
