High School Transcripts

Admissions now requires all new students to submit an official copy of their High School Transcripts. If they are not able to do this then they must petition the Campus Registrar, Marjorie Davis. Students who graduated from high school outside the US must have their transcript evaluated by an outside agency. The complete Admissions FAQ regarding high school transcripts is posted on the H drive.

AP score reminder

Hi all,

Remember if students come in with unofficial AP scores you can see the list of MC course equivalencies here: http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/edu/department2.aspx?id=15634

However, remember that the way AP scores translate into courses at MC is not necessarily the same as the way that they will transfer University of Maryland you can see their list here: http://www.tce.umd.edu/apchart.html

Audit to Credit Reminder

Remember if a student accidentally registers for a course under audit they must change this prior to the 20% deadline in order to avoid having to complete an academic appeal.

To change from audit to credit students need to bring a paper registration form to their professor, check the correct box and sign under instructor permission. The student must then hand in to admissions.

I grade procedure

In the event that you submit an “I” at the end of the semester, you will need to complete the Incomplete Form and submit to Admissions and Records within 2 weeks after final grades are due.

The "I" grade contract can be found in the h drive under "fillable forms" "Student forms"

If you have questions contact the Registrar.

FAUV035 and 055 Reminder

FAUV 035 will overide EN/RD assessment level
*Proof of C or better in EN comp course of 100 or higher
FAUV 055 will override all assessment levels
*Proof of prior degree

Student can show Admissions an unofficial transcript from an accredited US college or university. The AEM staff member will sign, date, scan into the system and it and give it back to the student (in case they need a pre-req override for something else).

Students can also print out an unofficial transcript in front of a counselor or AEM staff person. The person who witnesses this will sign, date and then send to Admissions for appropriate FAUV code to be input.

In SOATEST, the FAUV line applies to ELAP students only in one case.  FAUV 025 means the student is exempt from ELAS classes – no ELAS970, 980, or 990 required. It’s not an exemption from ELAI990 though!  

SAT scores and Admissions

In case you were not aware of this:

As long as the student prints out a copy of their SAT scores from the college board website in the presence of a counselor, the counselor can sign it and submit to the admissions office. This score will go into Banner same day.

This will save a lot of time putting in specific overrides for classes when students meet SAT cut offs of 550 or higher.

Chem Placement Test

We should not need to put in overrides for CH101 after a student takes the test- score is in Banner 24 hours later. However, for your reference a current passing score is 21 (out of 42).

multiple degree regulation

New regulation to keep in mind when advising:

9.3011 Limiting Multiple Degrees

Any Montgomery College student who already has earned an associate’s degree at the College must earn at least fifteen additional credits beyond the first degree and meet all other graduation requirements in order to be eligible for another degree.

The 15 additional credits must apply to the second degree.  This means no more Business + International Business, nor two Engineering degrees….  And if a student wants to do General Studies and then later complete another, more focused degree, s/he will need 15 credits specific to that second degree.  (This regulation was required by MHEC).

 

The graduation coordinators are already screening for this.

Academic Suspension Reminders

Student on Academic Suspension that have sat out a whole semester can meet with a counselor and begin the semester on academic restriction status. Counselors should put a note in Banner and then have the student check in with admissions so that staus can be changed.

Students who do not want to sit out a semester must complete the academic suspension appeal form and see the Dean of Student Development.
