The following academic policies and standards for Three Rivers Community College were ratified for the merged institution in May, 1993. All policies are subject to change.

Academic Advising

All students admitted are assigned to an academic advisor. Advisors are members of the professional staff, usually full-time faculty members, whose backgrounds make them especially suitable to help students make academic and vocational choices. During the school year, the advisor helps the student select appropriate courses, based on the student’s preference, previous records, and standardized test scores. The advisor also discusses with the student the course of action to be taken when the student is ready to leave Three Rivers Community College.

Students initially admitted as Special Non-Degree who are interested in changing their status to degree-seeking will be assigned an appropriate advisor when they submit a Change of Curriculum Request. The advising system insures each student receives individual help with educational and vocational problems, provides each student with advice from a professional with expertise in a particular subject and enables the professional staff to interact with individual students in matters not directly related to classroom performance.

Students should consult the following Master Advisor List, published each semester, to determine the name of their academic advisor:

Plan of Study

A Plan of Study is a work sheet that outlines the course requirements for a specific Three Rivers degree or certificate program. Students enrolled in a degree or certificate program must obtain a Plan of Study during their first semester to use as a planning guide for future
course selection and registration.

During the first semester of enrollment, a student meets with his or her academic advisor and reviews the program requirements. A student obtains a Plan of Study, has their advisor sign it, and retains it as an academic planning guide. Advising appointments are scheduled each semester just before early registration for continuing degree or certificate students.

The original Plan of Study is kept by the student to record course completions and selections for registration each semester. A copy of the form signed by the student and academic advisor must be presented when registering for each subsequent semester until the student earns 6 credit at Three Rivers.

During scheduled advising days each semester, students who have not completed a Plan of Study and students who wish to amend or change their program should make an appointment with their advisor and complete and submit a Program/Advisor Change form.

Both students and advisors may request reassignment when a favorable relationship is not achieved by submitting a Program/Advisor Change form.

Students are urged to seek information, advice, or confidential counseling regarding drugs and/or alcohol by contacting the counseling staff. Also, Three Rivers Community College is prepared to refer students to appropriate professionals (medical, legal, psychiatric, etc.) according to the needs of the individual student. Contact will be held in complete confidence. A student who ignores opportunities for help and assistance and who willfully violates College policies and the law faces disciplinary action as outlined in the Policy Statement on Student Discipline.

The College’s full policies and programs on the Drug Free Workplace and Drug Prevention are published separately. Copies of these policies and programs are available to students through the Dean of Student Services.
