54 SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SUMMER 2013 eSCHEDULE college policies & Practices The First Day of Classes If a student whose name appears on the class roster does not attend the first meeting of the class, he or she may be dropped from the class roster at the discretion of the instructor; however, no student should assume nonattendance will result in a drop. If a student does not plan to attend class, he or she should officially drop the class before it begins or during the District-approved refund period. All classes can be dropped any time prior to the first class meeting via telephone or my.maricopa.edu (see pages 8-12) or, within the 100% refund period, by submitting a Schedule Change Form in the Admissions Office. Canceled Class Policy The Scottsdale Community College Administration reserves the right to cancel classes based on class size, to make other changes as the college needs require, and to change, without notice, any of the information, requirements and regulations published in this schedule of classes. Grade Options credit/no credit Courses (P/Z) Some courses may be taken under a credit/no credit grading system. In courses with credit/no credit (P/Z) grading, the student may request standard grading (A, B, C, D, F), within fourteen* (14) days including the date of the first class meeting. If the option is available, the student must obtain the permission of the instructor and return the signed form to Admissions and Records within the required deadline (see chart on page 12). In courses with standard grading (A, B, C, D, F), the instructor determines if the credit/no credit option is available. If the option is available, the student must obtain permission of the instructor and return the signed form to Admissions and Records within fourteen* (14) days including the day of the first class meeting. Audit Courses Auditors are those who enroll in a course for the sole purpose of obtaining information; they receive no credit, grades, homework, or tests. If an auditor wishes to earn credit, he or she must change from audit status to credit status within the first week. If a student wishes to audit a course for which he or she is enrolled for credit, the change must be made within the first five* (5) weeks of a semester. Auditors are subject to the same attendance policies as other students. See the fee schedule for charges. Financial aid is not available for audited courses. *Based on a 16-week class. See Important Deadlines for Students chart, page 12. Out-of-State Residency Students who have not established a domicile in Arizona as adults for at least one (1) year immediately prior to May 28, 2013, will be classified as out-of-state residents for tuition purposes and will be subject to tuition charges, in addition to registration fees, as specified in the Schedule of Fees, page 10. Students 18 years of age and over will be assigned residency status based on proof of their own legal residence. Students under 18 years of age at the beginning of classes will be assigned the residency status of their parents or legal guardians. Legal guardianship must be by court order. The only exceptions to these rules are dependents (for income tax purpose) of parents who reside in Arizona, or a person who is a member of, or a spouse/dependent of, a member of the armed forces of the U.S. stationed in Arizona pursuant to military orders. Students who have Arizona residency, but have not established residency in Maricopa County for at least fifty (50) days prior to May 28, 2013, will be classified as out-of-county students. Students from counties where there are organized community college districts are not subject to the out-of-county surcharges. Students from other counties in Arizona are subject to tuition, in addition to registration fees, as specified in the Schedule of Fees, page 10. State law now requires that a person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student pursuant to A.R.S. §15-1802 or entitled to classification as a county resident pursuant to A.R.S. §15-1802.01. Nonresident students should note that RESIDENCY IS NOT CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY. Proper documentation must be filed, reviewed and approved before residency status will be changed. Requests for change in residency status should be made before registration. Because of the complexity in interpreting these laws, students having difficulty in determining their residency should first consult the current college catalog for residency guidelines.
