President’s Welcome
Welcome to Connors!
Connors State College has a long history of providing
the people of eastern Oklahoma with access to higher
education. Since seating its first class of 17 students in
1908, the institution has grown into a comprehensive,
multi-campus, two-year college that enrolls more than
2,500 students annually.
No matter your higher education goals, Connors State College can fill the gap.
From earning an associate degree to transferring to a four-year institution,
Connors can provide two years of “basics” that will transfer to nearly any
degree program.
Whether you are looking for a traditional college experience or one that allows
you to earn a degree on your own time, our two campuses offer the
best of both worlds. The Warner Campus houses our traditional students,
athletics, and agricultural programs – and is the virtual hub of all operations.
The Three Rivers Port Campus in Muskogee is ideal for students who
commute and is home to our outstanding Nursing and Allied Health programs
– some of the best in Oklahoma!
At Connors State College, you will find faculty and staff who are dedicated
to helping you achieve your educational goals. Our alumni routinely tell us
that Connors truly made a difference in their lives, and that the lessons they
learned here helped to propel them to bigger achievements.
As a product of this great institution, I wholeheartedly echo these sentiments. Thank
you for your interest in CSC, and “Go Cowboys!”

The College
Location
Connors State College has two campus locations. The main campus is in Warner, a rural, agricultural
community located at the junction of United States Highway 64 and Interstate 40 in Eastern Oklahoma.
The branch campus location is located 18 miles northeast of Warner in Muskogee, a port city of 38,000 that
serves as a regional market on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River navigation system. The Muskogee Three
Rivers Port campus is located at 2501 North 41
st
Street East.
History
Connors State School of Agriculture came into existence in 1908. The State Board of Agriculture was the
school’s governing board, and the school was named after the Board’s first chairman, John P. Connors. Classes
were first held in downtown Warner in 1909. In 1911, the present Classroom Building was constructed, and
the school moved to its present location, one mile west of Warner. Connors State Agricultural College became
a fully accredited junior college in 1927. The State Board of Agriculture governed Connors until 1944. That
year the Legislature created the Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges.
This Board then became the governing Board of Connors State Agricultural College. In 1967, the Oklahoma
Legislature changed Connors’ name to Connors State College of Agriculture and Applied Science. The
College’s name was changed again by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2002 to Connors State College.
In 1977, Connors began regularly offering off-campus, extension courses in Muskogee at various public
school locations. In 1985, classes were moved downtown to the Holly Building at 4
th
and Broadway. In 1986,
Connors purchased the Holly Building, renovating it in 1989. In 1988, Muskogee became a branch campus
offering resident college credit courses and programs. Connors received title to the C.N. Haskell Building
located at 2
nd
and Court Streets in downtown Muskogee in 1992. In 1993, the downtown Muskogee campus
was moved from the Holly Building to the Haskell Building.
In, 1994, Connors acquired 42 acres of land in the northeastern section of Muskogee for the construction of a
classroom/science facility. The Three Rivers Port Campus opened for classes in 1996.
In 1993, Connors also received title to a 1,316 acre ranch site located five miles south of the Warner
campus. The South Ranch contains farmland, wetlands, and wildlife habitat.

students do not have the sufficient scores or GPA in all subject areas, they will be able to take the
ACCUPLACER Placement Test. If the student wants to take the ACCUPLACER Placement
Testing, it must be done before enrolling for the first semester. Testing is done on a walk-in basis.
Academic Advisement
When students check in with Admissions, have submitted all required paperwork, and completed
any placement testing, they will receive a Permit to Enroll. Students will then visit with an
academic advisor who will assist in selecting the appropriate courses for their degree plan.
Curricular Proficiencies Policies
All students must show proficiency in English, math, science, and reading in one of the following ways:
• Present an ACT score of 19 or above in the subject area;

• Present an appropriate high school GPA
• Show proficiency through institutional testing;
• Pass the developmental course in the subject area in which the student is deficient during the first
24 hours of college enrollment.
Curricular Deficiencies Policies
Students lacking curricular requirements are admissible into Associate in Arts, Associate in Science,
Associate in Applied Science programs, ad Certificate programs.
Students in Associate in Arts and Associate in Science programs must remediate curricular deficiencies at the
earliest possible time but within the first 24 hours attempted or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to
deficiency until all deficiencies are removed.
Developmental Course Policy
Developmental courses and corequisite support courses are designed to help students prepare for college-level
studies. Students who have graduated within the last seven years and completed 3 years of HS math and 4
years of HS English with an unweighted GPA >3.0 or with scores of 19 or above on all segments of the ACT
or 510 or above in math or 321or above in ERW of the SAT are placed directly into the appropriate college-
level courses.
Students who have graduated within the last seven years and have an unweighted HS GPA less than 3.0 and
who score below 19 in subject content of the ACT or 510 or above in math or 321or above in ERW of the
SAT are given the opportunity to demonstrate readiness through an ACCUPLACER placement test. Students
are encouraged to come in and complete their placement test at their earliest convenience. If the student scores
above an acceptable level, they may enroll in the appropriate college-level course.
If the student scores below an acceptable level on the ACT or SAT and the ACCUPLACER test, they must
take the appropriate developmental or corequisite support course. The student’s scores are explained to them
after completion of the ACCUPLACER placement test.
Students must complete all necessary developmental coursework within the first 24 attempted hours of college coursework.
Any student needing developmental or corequisite work in any content area
must take at least one developmental or corequisite course per semester until
deficiencies are removed. Full-time students needing developmental or
corequisite work in more than one area must take more than one developmental
or corequisite course each semester until all deficiencies are removed. If a
student needs more than one developmental course, a request to waive one of
the courses for one semester can be submitted to the office of the Vice
President of Academic Affairs through a link on the Admissions, Advisement,
& Registrar page or opening this link: Developmental Course Waiver
Students needing developmental or corequisite coursework are admissible into degree programs; however,
they must complete all necessary developmental or corequisite coursework within the first 24 attempted
hours of college coursework or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to developmental or corequisite
courses until all deficiencies are removed.
Developmental and corequisite coursework is for skill development and support in subsequent college-level
courses. As such, it does not count toward degree requirements or in a student’s cumulative grade-point
average. Developmental and corequisite courses are transferable to another college or university.
Grading in Developmental Courses
All grading in development and corequisite courses is “S” (satisfactory performance) or “U” (unsatisfactory
performance).
Methods of Assessment
ACT and SAT Test ing
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education regulations specify that all students who are admitted to
an accredited institution of higher learning in Oklahoma must take the American College Testing (ACT)
examination or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) examination with the exception of students who are on
active military duty or 21 and older.
Students who have not graduated from high school or do not have a GED but whose high school class has
graduated must take the ACT or SAT examination.
The college administers the residual ACT. The residual ACT test can only be administered to current or
potential Connors’ students. Contact the Registrar for further information.
Test in g
The need for testing is determined by the student’s ACT or SAT scores or high school GPA. If the student
does not have sufficient scores in all subject areas or appropriate GPA, they may choose to take
ACCUPLACER Placement Testing. If the student requests testing, it must be done before enrolling for the
first semester. Testing is done on a walk-in basis.
Credit for Prior Learning
Through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), you can earn credit toward your degree by documenting the
knowledge you have gained outside of a traditional college classroom. In order for PLA requests to be
evaluated, you must be an active student and have completed 12 credit hours at Connors State. These
requests are evaluated by our Office of Academic Affairs on a case-by-case basis, so please keep checking
your Connors State email for regular updates. If it is determined that PLA credit is to be awarded, students
are charged $10 per PLA credit hour awarded to their Bursar account. Here are examples of assessments we
have awarded credit for:
• Completion of Child Development Associate (CDA)
• Completion of the National Registry Exam and have an EMT Certificate
• Completion of the National Registry Exam and have a Paramedic Certificate
• Certification by the Counsel of Law Enforcement and Education Training (CLEET)
• Veteran with 2 years of active duty that can be verified by a DD-214
Institutional Assessment
By a mandate of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Connors State College is required to
assess all levels of institutional functioning on an annual basis. Therefore, students are required to comply
by participating in various components of institutional assessment which could include admission testing,
student opinion survey, and student course surveys.
Admission Policies
Any individual who has completed all the following is eligible for admission to the Associate in Arts,
Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science, and Certificate programs:
• Is a graduate of a high school accredited by the appropriate regional association or by an appropriate
accrediting agency of his/her own state or has achieved a high school equivalency certificate based
on the General Education Development tests (GED);
• Has met the high school curricular requirements as set forth in the current catalog; and
• Has participated in the American College Testing (ACT) program or a similar acceptable battery of tests.
High School Equivalency (GED, HiS ET, etc.) Admission
The Oklahoma State Regents’ “Policy Statement on Admission to, Retention in, and Transfer among Colleges
and Universities of the State System” (II-2-35) requires high school graduation as one criterion for college
admission. There are exceptions in the State Regents’ special admission provisions. The policy recognizes
approved high school equivalency exams as the equivalent of a high school diploma with one
stipulation. If a student is to be admitted by a high school equivalency test score, the applicant’s high
school class must have graduated. Therefore, Connors State College may grant admission to a student
whose high school class has not graduated only if the student is a junior or senior concurrently enrolled at the
high school level and who will complete his or her high school curricular requirements for graduation with
his or her class.
OSRHE High School Curricular Requirements for Admission

Technical Transfer Credit Policy-Technology Centers
Connors State College’s policies for evaluating, awarding, and accepting technical credit for transfer are
consistent with the college’s mission and with the State’s focus on aligning coursework to ensure a quality
education through common learning outcomes reviewed by faculty experts in the discipline.
Connors State College may only accept transfer of technical credits from an Oklahoma technology center
towards technical major degree requirements in a college technical certificate, an associate in applied science
degree, or a technology baccalaureate degree in which Connors State College faculty have documented
expertise.
Transfer of technical credits from a technology center that is part of the Oklahoma Technology Center System
will be evaluated using the Statewide Technical Course Articulation Matrix from the Oklahoma State Regents
for Higher Education (OSRHE). Academic credit earned for technical courses appearing on an official
transcript from an Oklahoma technology center and listed on the Statewide Technical Course Articulation
Matrix will be processed by Connors State Colleges’ Office of Admissions. The Office of Admissions will
follow The Undergraduate Transfer and Articulation policy from the OSRHE.
Transfer of technical credits based on a different unit of credit than the one used at Connors State College is
subject to conversion before being transferred. Only official transcript and technical course evaluations based
on the OSRHE Statewide Technical Course Articulation Matrix and processed by the Connors State College’s
Office of Admissions are official. Any preliminary reviews by campus personnel are unofficial and not
binding, and subject to change.
Technical credits may be subject to minimum grade requirements as determined by the accreditation,
licensure, or other programmatic requirements of Connors State College. Grades do not transfer in and are
not calculated in the Connors State College’s grade point average (GPA). A neutral grade of “S” will be
recorded. Credits earned will be added to the student’s overall credit hours earned.

Eligibility to Sit for the Boards
The Connors State College Nursing Program is approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Graduates of
this state-approved program are eligible to apply to write the National Council Licensure Examination
(NCLEX) for registered or practical nurses. Applicants for Oklahoma licensure must meet all state and
federal requirements to hold an Oklahoma license to practice nursing. In addition to completing a state-
approved nursing education program that meets educational requirements and successfully passing the
licensure examination, requirements include submission of an application for licensure, a criminal history
records search, and evidence of citizenship or qualified alien status. [59 O.S. §567.5 & 567.6]. To be granted
a license, an applicant must have the legal right to be in the United States (United States Code Chapter 8,
Section 1621). In addition, Oklahoma law only allows a license to be issued to U. S. citizens, U. S. nationals,
and legal permanent resident aliens. Other qualified aliens may be issued a temporary license that is valid until
the expiration of their visa status, or if there is no expiration date, for one year. Applicants who are qualified
aliens must present, in person, valid documentary evidence of:
1. A valid, unexpired immigrant or nonimmigrant visa status for admission into the United States;
2. A pending or approved application for asylum in the United States;
3. Admission into the United States in refugee status;
4. A pending or approved application for temporary protected status in the United States;
5. Approved deferred action status; or
6. A pending application for adjustment of status to legal permanent resident status or conditional
resident status.
The Board has the authority to deny a license, recognition or certificate; issue a license, recognition or
certificate with conditions and/or an administrative penalty; or to issue and otherwise discipline a license,
recognition or certificate to an individual with a history of criminal background, disciplinary action on any
professional or occupational license or certification, or judicial declaration of mental incompetence [59 O.S.
§567.8]. These cases are considered on an individual basis at the time application for licensure is made.
Potential applicants to state-approved education programs, with a criminal history, may obtain a
determination of eligibility for licensure or certification from the Oklahoma Board of Nursing for a fee. The
determination of eligibility for licensure petition can be accessed at

Requesting Academic Transcripts
Requests for academic transcripts can be made in writing with a student’s signature appearing on the request
and submitted to the Office of Admissions. The Transcript Request form is located on the Connors State
College website. The form can be submitted by mail, fax, or in person. An online request is found on the
website. Official transcripts are mailed from and may be picked up at the Warner Campus Admissions Office
only. Students requesting an official transcript in person must bring a photo ID. Current CSC students must
present their CSC issued student ID card. Our policy prohibits the distribution of transcripts via fax or email.
Students with transcript holds (such as holds due to outstanding financial obligations to the college,
transcripts, etc.) will not be granted an official transcript until the hold has been cleared with the appropriate
college officials. Copies of transcripts from other institutions cannot be furnished.
Currently enrolled students may print an unofficial copy of their transcript by logging into SSB (Self-Service
Banner) on the website.
Residency Status
Regulations governing the residency status of students are based on the policies of the Oklahoma State
Regents for Higher Education and apply to all public colleges and universities in the State System. The policy
statement set forth in the following paragraphs establishes principles, definitions, criteria, and guidelines to
assist institutional officials in the classification of students as residents or non-residents for fee and tuition-
payment purposes. Determination of residence status for the purposes of attendance at an institution in the
Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is based primarily on the issue of domiciliary intent.
Initial Classification. A student's initial residence status is determined by the Office of Admissions when
you apply to Connors State College.
Residence Reclassification. If you are a current CSC student classified as a non-resident and wish to be
considered for in-state status, you must petition for a reclassification of your residence status through the
Office of the Registrar. The Petition for In-State Residency is located on the website and in the Office of
Admissions.
Deadlines for submitting petitions to be considered for reclassification in a given semester is one month prior
to the term in which the petition is being requested.
Non-residents of Oklahoma are required to pay out-of-state tuition and fees.
Oklahoma residence status (and associated in-state tuition) is not granted on a retroactive basis. If you are
receiving federal financial aid, please seek advice from the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid on how
a residency reclassification may affect your aid.
Appeal Procedures. Students may appeal their residence classification decision. A Petition for Oklahoma
Residency form must be submitted along with any additional supporting documentation to the Office of the
Registrar. Yo u will be notified in writing of the decision following the final review. Regulations governing
the residence status of students are the responsibility of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education
and apply to all colleges and universities of the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education.
Principles Governing Residence
Article XIII-A of the Constitution of Oklahoma creates The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education
and establishes the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education as the coordinating board of control for
all public institutions supported by legislative appropriations. Title 70 O.S. 3218.9 authorizes the State
Regents to establish the proposed fees to be charged at public institutions to Oklahoma residents and
nonresidents alike. The policy statement set forth in the paragraphs to follow establishes principles,
definitions, criteria, and guidelines to assist institutional officials in the classification of students as residents
or nonresidents for fee and tuition-payment purposes. Also, the policy statement should be helpful to
prospective students in the determination of their own residence status prior to enrollment or for those
nonresident students seeking to be reclassified as residents of Oklahoma after having been classified
originally as nonresidents. Determination of residence status for purposes of attendance at an institution in
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is based primarily on the issue of domiciliary intent.
Section I. Philosophy
Since 1890, it has been public policy in Oklahoma to provide comprehensive, low-cost public higher
education for citizens in order to make educational opportunities available for Oklahoma individuals to
improve themselves, to help upgrade the knowledge and skills of the Oklahoma work force, and to enhance
the quality of life in Oklahoma generally. Therefore, residents of Oklahoma are afforded subsidies covering
a majority of their educational costs at all colleges and universities of The Oklahoma State System of Higher
Education. Nonresidents of Oklahoma are also provided substantial educational subventions, although at
lower levels than those provided for permanent residents of the state.
Section II. Principles
• Attendance at an educational institution, albeit a continuous and long-term experience is
interpreted as temporary residence; therefore, a student neither gains nor loses residence status
solely by such attendance.
• Students attending an Oklahoma college or university may perform many objective acts, some of
which are required by law (i.e. payment of taxes), and all of which are customarily done by some
nonresidents who do not intend to remain in Oklahoma after graduation but are situational necessary
and/or convenient (i.e. registering to vote, obtaining a driver’s license). Such acts and/or
declarations alone are not sufficient evidence of intent to remain in Oklahoma beyond the college
experience.
• A non-resident student attending an Oklahoma college or university on more than a half-time basis
is presumed to be in the state primarily for educational purposes.
• An individual is not deemed to have acquired status as a resident of Oklahoma until he or she has
been in the state for at least a year primarily as a permanent resident and not merely as a student.
• Likewise, an individual classified as a resident of Oklahoma shall not be reclassified as a
nonresident until 12 months after having left Oklahoma to live in another state. Unless he or she
has established residency in another state, a student who resided in Oklahoma at the time of
graduation from an Oklahoma high school and has resided in the state with a parent or legal guardian
for the two years prior to graduation from high school will be eligible for resident tuition and
scholarships or financial aid provided by the state, regardless of immigration status.
• All married persons shall be treated as equal under this policy. Each spouse in a family shall establish
his or her own residence status on a separate basis. Exceptions include: 1) when a nonresident
marries an already established resident of Oklahoma, the nonresident may be considered a resident
after documentation of the marriage and proof of domicile are satisfied, and 2) as provided in
Sections VII and VIII.
• The burden of proof of establishing Oklahoma residence or domicile, including providing any
supporting documentation, shall be upon the applicant. Since residence or domicile is a matter of
intent, each case will be judged on its own merit by the appropriate institutional official(s) consistent
with this policy. No definitive set of criteria can be established as sufficient to guarantee
classification as a resident of Oklahoma.
• Initial classification as a nonresident student shall not prejudice the right of a person to be
reclassified thereafter for following semesters or terms of enrollment as an Oklahoma resident
provided that he or she can establish proof of residence in accordance with criteria and procedures
as set forth in this policy.
Section III. Definitions
• Resident of Oklahoma — A resident of Oklahoma is one who has lived continuously in Oklahoma
for at least 12 months duration and whose domicile is in Oklahoma. A person's domicile is his or
her true, fixed, permanent home or habitation. It is the place where he or she intends to remain and to
which he or she expects to return. A person can have more than one residence, but only one domicile.
Domicile has two components— residence and the intention to remain. When these two occur, there
is domicile.
• Independent Person — An independent person is one enjoying majority privileges (or is legally
emancipated from the parental domicile) and who is responsible for his or her own care, custody,
and support.
• Dependent Person — A dependent person is one who is under the care, custody, and support of a
parent or legal guardian.
• Full-time Student — A full-time undergraduate student is one enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit
hours per semester in an academic year or a minimum of six credit hours in a summer session. A
full-time graduate student is one enrolled in a minimum of nine credit hours per semester in an
academic year or a minimum of four credit hours in a summer session.
Section I V. Independent Persons
If a person enjoying majority privileges and who is independent of parental domicile can provide adequate
and satisfactory proof of his or her having come to Oklahoma with the intention of establishing domicile, he
or she may be granted resident student classification at the next enrollment occurring after expiration of 12
months following the establishment of domicile in Oklahoma. The spouse of such person must establish proof
of his or her own domiciliary status on a separate basis, except as provided in other sections of this policy.
Section V. Dependent Persons
The legal residence of a dependent person is that of his or her parents, or the legal residence of the parent
who has legal custody or the parent with whom the student habitually resides. If the student is under the care
of those other than his or her parents, the legal residence is that of his or her legal guardian. The dependent
person may become emancipated (freed from his or her parental domicile) through marriage, formal court
action, abandonment by parents, or positive action on his or her own part evidential or his or her alienation
of parental domicile. To qualify under the latter category, a dependent person must have completely separated
him or herself from the parental domicile and have proved that such separation is complete and permanent.
Mere absence from the parental domicile is not proof of
its complete abandonment. If an applicant can provide adequate and satisfactory proof of complete
emancipation and his or her having come to Oklahoma with the intention of establishing domicile, he or she
may be granted resident student classification at the next enrollment occurring after expiration of 12 months
following establishment of domicile in Oklahoma.
Section VI. Foreign Nationals
An individual who is not a United States national may become eligible for classification as an Oklahoma
resident provided that he or she holds lawful permanent residence status as defined by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), evidenced by whatever documents may be required under applicable federal
law, who has resided in Oklahoma for at least 12 consecutive months, and who meets other applicable criteria
for establishment of domicile as set forth in this policy or who has come to Oklahoma for the purpose
described in Section VIII of this policy. In accordance with House Bill 1804, an undocumented immigrant
student enrolling for the first time in 2007-08 and thereafter, separates eligibility for resident tuition and for
state financial aid. To be eligible for resident tuition, an undocumented immigrant student must:
• Have graduated from a public or private high school in Oklahoma (Note: GED or home school
education will not establish eligibility for any student);
• Have resided in Oklahoma for at least two years prior to graduation;
• Satisfy admission standards (Admission Requirements);
• Have secured admission and enrolled in an institution within the Oklahoma State System of
Higher Education; and
• Do one of the following:
• Provide to the institution a copy of true and correct application or petition filed with the
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to legalize the student's
immigration status; or
• File an affidavit with the institution stating that the student will file an application to
legalize their immigration status at the earliest opportunity the student is able to do so, but
in no case later than either: (a) one year after the date on which the student enrolls for study
at the institution; or (b) if there is no formal process to permit children of parents without
lawful immigration status to apply for lawful status without risk of deportation, one year
after the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) provides such a
formal process. Students who file an affidavit must present to the institution a copy of a
true and correct application filed with the USCIS no later than either:
• one year after the date on which the student enrolls for study at the institution; or
• if there is no formal process to permit children of parents without lawful
immigration status to apply for lawful status without risk of deportation, one year
after the United State Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) provides
such a formal process. When a student provides or presents to the institution a
copy of an application or petition filed with USCIS, the copy shall be maintained
in the student's permanent record.
Section VII. Military Personnel
A student attending an institution while on full-time active duty in the armed forces is considered as having
a temporary residence in the state in which he or she is attending school; therefore, a student neither gains
nor loses residence status solely by such military service. Members of the armed services stationed in
Oklahoma, their spouses and dependent children shall be admitted without the payment of nonresident tuition
and without the 12-month domiciliary requirement, so long as they continue to be stationed in the state in
full-time military service and under military orders.
While the policy clearly states that nonresident tuition will be waived for military personnel, such a waiver
does not constitute Oklahoma residence status. Military personnel and their dependents that provide proof of
a legal change in their state of residence to Oklahoma (such as claiming Oklahoma for income tax purposes)
may have the full benefits of residence status. Dependent children of military personnel that establish
residency as described in Section II of this policy shall maintain residence status if their parents are
subsequently stationed out-of-state. Dependents of military personnel who have not established residency
according to policy may maintain nonresident waiver status if their parents are subsequently stationed out-
of-state.
Section VIII. Full-time Professional Practitioner or Worker
An individual who provides evidence of having come to Oklahoma to practice a profession on a full-time
basis, conduct a business full time, or work on a full-time basis shall be immediately declared an Oklahoma
resident along with his or her spouse and dependent children without the 12 month domiciliary requirement
so long as they continue in such full-time employment capacity or until such time that they establish residency
as described in Section II of this policy. Dependent children of the above professionals that establish
residency as described in Section II of this policy may maintain residence status if their parents subsequently
leave the state.
Likewise, a full-time professional practitioner or worker who is temporarily assigned to another location but
maintains his or her residency in Oklahoma (such as claiming Oklahoma for income tax purposes) shall be
considered a resident for tuition and state scholarship and financial aid purposes, along with his or her spouse
and dependent children.
Section IX. Reclassification
In addition to the aforementioned criteria, an independent person seeking to be reclassified as a resident of
Oklahoma must meet certain criteria for the current and immediately preceding year. Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information.
Section X. Administration of Policy Statement
Each institution should designate the admissions officer or some other individual to be responsible for
administration of the policy and should make appropriate provision for a student's appeal of an adverse
decision.
Section XI. Tuition Waivers
Nothing in this policy precludes the waiving of fees or tuition for nonresidents by any institution upon
authorization by the State Regents based on criteria other than residence status provided that the residence
status classification will not be affected by any such waiver alone.

Tuition Waivers
State System higher education institutions are authorized to waive the tuition for the following:
Senior Citizens—Oklahoma residents aged 65 and older may have tuition waived to audit academic courses
that have openings on the first day of class. Senior citizen students will be responsible to pay for additional
educational supplies and/or texts that may be required in some classes. Senior citizen students are admitted
on a space-available basis.
Prisoners of War, Missing in Action, and Dependents—Any former prisoner of war or persons mission in
action, and their dependents may, if otherwise qualified, enroll at CSC without paying tuition. Dependents
are not eligible if
federal funds are provided to pay tuition. The duration of the tuition waivers is five years, or the completion
of a bachelor’s degree, whichever occurs first.
Dependents of Peace Officers and Fire Fighters—No tuition shall be charged to the dependents of
Oklahoma peace officers or fire fighters that have given their lives in the line of duty. These waivers are
limited to a five-year period from the date of the first waiver. A dependent ceases to be eligible for benefits
on his/her 24
th
birthday.
Independent Living Act—No tuition shall be charged to individuals who have been in the custody of the
DHS for at least nine months between the ages of 16 and 18.
Residential Requirements
Single students, less than 21 years of age, with a permanent address more than 50 miles from the Connors State
College campus and who are a full-time student are required to live on campus in a resident hall. Exceptions
to this policy include students over 21, married students, students with children, veterans, and international
students. Exceptions require a release from the Student Housing Appeal Committee through the Office of the
Dean of Students.
The reason for this requirement is that living on campus provides opportunities for the many experiences
which complement an academic career. In the resident and dining hall students meet new friends and enjoy a
wide variety of social, recreational, and cultural activities. Residential and dining services strive to provide
students with opportunities and programs to assist with their adjustment to the academic demands of college
life.
Immunization Requirements First-time students living on campus must provide evidence of having been
immunized against measles, mumps, and rubella, (two shots), and against Hepatitis B, Meningococcal
Disease (Meningitis).
All students in residential housing are responsible for making satisfactory payment arrangements in order to
reside in housing at Connors State College. Nine weeks into the semester all housing students that have not
made satisfactory payment arrangements will be contacted by the bursar’s office and be given an eviction
notice unless approved arrangements can be made.
All students who live in the quads in Miller's Crossing or in McClarren Hall must have a Resident’s Hall meal
plan in addition to their room rental in order to live in residential housing.
Priority for available housing is given to students currently residing in CSC housing. All other housing
assignments are determined on a first come, first served basis.
Honors Housing
Students who meet the following criteria are eligible to live in the two-bedroom apartments in “A Building”
for an increased fee:
• Student must be classified as a sophomore.
• Student must have a cumulative GPA of a minimum of 2.5.
• Student cannot have any student conduct violation. Minor infractions may be approved
through the Dean or Assistant Dean of Students in some instances.
Students who fail to maintain a 2.5 GPA or are found to have violated student conduce policy will forfeit
their right to live in Honors Housing and will forfeit their Honors Housing rental fee. Only a limited number
of apartments are available for Honors Housing each semester.
Potential Students Convicted of a Felony or Suspended or Expelled from an Institution
The Office of Admissions forwards applications for housing to the Dean of Students when potential students
have been convicted of a felony or suspended from an institution. These potential students require a clearance
for further admission consideration and must provide additional information and official documentation
explaining the final disposition of the proceedings as requested by the Dean of Students before being admitted
to the school or approved for housing. The final decision regarding admission rests with the Vice President
of Academic Affairs. Students may be admitted to attend school but not allowed to live in student housing.

Federal Aid Programs
Federal Financial Aid is available through the following
• Federal PELL Grants -- Federal Pell Grants usually are awarded only to undergraduate
students who display exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor's, graduate, or
professional degree. (In some cases, however, a student enrolled in a postbaccalaureate teacher
certification program might receive a Federal Pell Grant.)
You are not eligible to receive a
Federal Pell Grant if you are incarcerated in a federal or state penal institution or are subject to
an involuntary civil commitment upon completion of a period of incarceration for a forcible or
nonforcible sexual offense.
• F
ederal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) – Federal Supplemental
Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is a grant for undergraduate students with exceptional
financial need. The FSEOG program is administered directly by the financial aid office at each
participating school. Not all schools participate. To get an FSEOG, you must fill out the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid so your college can determine how much financial need you
have. The financial aid office will award FSEOGs to students that have the most financial need.
The FSEOG does not need to be repaid, except under certain circumstances. Find out why you
might have to repay all or part of a federal grant
• Federal Work/Study Program (FWS) – A federal student aid program that provides part-time
employment while the student is enrolled in school to help pay his or her education expenses.
The student must seek out and apply for work-study jobs at his or her school. The student will
be paid directly for the hours he or she works and the amount he or she earns cannot exceed the
total amount awarded by the school for the award year. The availability of work-study jobs
varies by school.
• Federal Direct Loan Program. Federal Direct Student Loans – The U.S. Department of
Education’s federal student loan program is the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan)
Program. Under this program, the U.S. Department of Education is your lender. There are multiple
types of Direct Loans available:
• Direct Subsidized Loans are loans made to eligible undergraduate students who
demonstrate financial need to help cover the costs of higher education at a college or career
school.
• Direct Unsubsidized Loans are loans made to eligible undergraduate students, but
eligibility is not based on financial need.
• Direct PLUS Loans are loans made to parents of dependent undergraduate students to help
pay for education expenses not covered by other financial aid. Eligibility is not based on
financial need, but a credit check is required. Borrowers who have an adverse credit history
must meet additional requirements to qualify.

Administration (1-888-442- 4551). Additional information may be found on the VA’s website:
https://www.va.gov/
Oklahoma Aid Programs
• Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grants (OTAG) Each institution will be allocated a % of total funding
based on 2019-20 actual expenditures. Students must be Pell eligible, Oklahoma resident, and
have unmet financial need. Students with continuous enrollment are given priority. 2 Year Colleges
can award between
$200 - $1,500 depending on funding availability. Institutions may set their own deadline based on
funding availability.
• Oklahoma’s Promise (OKPromise) Oklahoma's Promise (Oklahoma Higher Learning Access
Program) provides awards equivalent to all tuition expenses for students who complete the
program’s high school requirements and meet the eligibility requirements in college. The award
may be used at Oklahoma accredited public colleges. Students enrolled in the eighth, ninth and
tenth grade, whose parents’ federal
adjusted gross income (AGI) does not exceed $55,000, may enroll in the program. Once
enrolled, the student must complete a specified 17-unit high school core curriculum, achieve a
minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA in both the required core curriculum and for all high school
coursework, attend school regularly, and refrain from substance abuse and criminal/delinquent
acts. The income of the student’s parent(s) must also not exceed $100,000 AGI while the student
is enrolled in postsecondary education.
Each year Oklahoma’s Promise students are required to complete a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which will be used to determine whether the income exceeds
$100,000 AGI. If the student is independent for federal financial aid purposes, the $100,000 AGI
limit applies to the student’s income, not the parents. For any year that the income exceeds
$100,000, the student will not be eligible to receive the program benefit that year. Any year that
the student does not receive the award because their income exceeds the income limit will count
toward the student’s five–year period of scholarship eligibility.
• Vocational Rehabilitation Assistance The Oklahoma Rehabilitation Commission offers assistance
for tuition and other related expenses to students with certain identified disabilities. Application for
assistance should be made directly to the nearest Vocational Rehabilitation Office. The Office of the
Dean of Students can assist in locating the correct Vocational Rehabilitation Office.

Student Services and Activities
Student Services Policies
Access to Student Records
Student records are maintained in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
(FERPA) amended 1995. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s educational
records. However, these rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school
beyond the high school level. Education institutions must have written permission from the student in order
to release any information from a student’s educational record.
A student’s FERPA rights begin with his or her registered attendance at CSC. Attendance need not be
physical, such as in cases of correspondence and distance learning courses. Applicants who are denied
admission or who are admitted but never attend are not covered under FERPA. There is no end point for
FERPA rights—as long as the student is living.
FERPA is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. The essence of FERPA is to give a student
the right to inspect his or her education records and to protect the privacy of these records. The statute applies
to any educational agency or institution that receives funding under any program administered by the Secretary
of Education
Students must provide to Connors State College written permission for release of their educational records.
The Office of the Registrar is the official office of the college for maintaining and releasing information
pertaining to students’ academic records. The Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs is the official
office of the college for maintaining and releasing information pertaining to students’ discipline records.
Billing information is maintained by the Office of the Bursar, and financial aid information is maintained by
the Office of Financial Aid.
The Act provides that certain portions of students’ records may be deemed Directory Information and may be
released to a third party without students’ written consent. Directory Information may include the student’s
name, address and phone number, date and place of birth, current class schedule, degrees earned, major, dates
of attendance, hours earned, honor awards, and GPA as well as participation in officially recognized sports,
and the weight and height of athletic team members.
Connors State College does not publish a student directory for student or public use. Names, addresses and
telephone numbers are released on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the college. See the following
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) information.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their
education records. Among them is the right to consent to the disclosure of personally identifiable information
contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without
consent.
An exception that permits access to a student’s records without the student’s consent is disclosure to school
officials who have legitimate educational interests. A school official is defined as a person employed by
Connors State College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position
(including law enforcement personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom Connors State
College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, collection agent, or official of the National Student
Clearinghouse); a person serving on or employed by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education or
CSC A&M Board of Regents; or a student serving on an official committee such as a disciplinary or grievance
committee, or who is assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in
order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Connors State College may disclose education records
in certain other circumstances:
• To comply with a judicial order or a lawfully issued subpoena;
• To comply with requests from appropriate parties in a health or safety emergency;
• To officials of another school, upon request, in which a student seeks or intends to enroll’
• In connection with a student’s request for a receipt of financial aid, as necessary to determine the
eligibility, amount, or conditions of the financial aid, or to enforce the terms and conditions of the
aid;
• To certain officials of the U.S. Department of Education, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher
Education, the Oklahoma State College A&M Board of Regents, and to state and local educational
authorities, in connection with certain state or federally supported education programs;
• To accrediting organizations to carry out their functions;
• To organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of Connors State College;
• To the alleged victim of a violent crime, the result of an institutional disciplinary proceeding against
the person allegedly responsible for the crime.
Directory Information which may be released on a case-by-case basis includes:
• Student’s name
• Local or permanent address
• Telephone number
• Major field of study
• Year of birth
• Academic classification/degree(s) granted
• Athletic participation
• Height and weight of athletic participants
• Academic institutions previously attended
• Dates of attendance at Connors State College
• Part-time and full-time status
Students may restrict the Release of “Directory Information”, except to school officials with legitimate
educational interests and others as indicated above.
To do so, a student must make the request in
writing to: Office of the Registrar
Connors
State College
700 College
Road
Warner, OK 74469
Once filed, this request becomes a permanent part of the student’s record until the student instructs the
College, in writing, to have the request removed.
For purposes of compliance with FERPA, Connors State College considers all students independent.
The policies of Connors State College prohibit discrimination on the basis of education, employment, race,
ethnicity, religion, sex, age, marital status, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, disabled veteran
status, physical or mental ability, mental retardation, and other specifically covered mental disabilities and
criminal records that are not job-related.
Voluntary ethnic information submitted by Connors State College students is compiled in accordance with
the college’s requirement to report statistical data and information to the U.S. Department of Education, the
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, The Board of Regents for the Oklahoma A&M Colleges and
various legislative bodies and governmental agencies as required by law.
Student voluntary submission of ethnic information will remain confidential and be made available in
statistical form only. Students’ rights to privacy and protection under the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) are assured (see following section). Students are not required to provide ethnic
information and failure to do so will not adversely affect a students’ admission, enrollment, or access to
programs and activities at Connors State College.
Parental access to student education records
At the elementary and secondary school level, FERPA gives parents the right to access education records.
When a student reaches 18 years of age or is attending an institution of post-secondary education, FERPA
rights transfer from parent to student. Therefore, at the postsecondary level, parents have no inherent rights
to inspect their student’s education records.
Information regarding education records is best obtained by direct communication between the parent and the
student. If desired, students can obtain grades, class schedule, billing, and other information online and
provide a copy to their parents. Student records are available via the student self-service web site -
http://connorsstate.edu/student- in
formation-services/ by selecting the “Enter Student Services” link.
Students will be prompted to enter their credentials to access a wide range of student information. Students
may view Bursar account information, previous payment information as well as payment plan information.
In addition, students can set up guest login access via the “Bursar Services” link.
Students may consent to release their education records to parents, legal guardians, or other individuals by
completing the appropriate form
in the Office of the Registrar. Such consent should be given in an un-
coercive environment.
Parking/Parking Permits
A parking permit is required on any vehicle the student uses to park at any Connors’ campus location. A
vehicle license tag number is required to obtain a parking permit. Parking permits are valid for a year and
must be renewed every August. Parking permits are available from the Bursar’s Offices at the Muskogee
and Warner campuses. Students must park their vehicles in designated parking areas outlined in the
information attached to their permit. Students may receive parking tickets for failure to park in designated
areas or not obtaining a valid parking permit. Parking tickets may be paid at the Bursar’s Offices.
Student Identification Cards
Required identification cards are used for positive identification in the cafeteria, bookstore, library, and
printing as well as free or reduced admission to college sponsored functions. Identification cards are
available during fall and spring general registration periods at the Warner and Muskogee campuses.
Replacement identification cards may be purchased at the Bursar’s Offices at the Warner and Muskogee
campuses.
Computing Services
CSC computing and electronic communication facilities and services are intended for instructional,
educational, research and administrative purposes. Their use is governed by all applicable College
policies, including sexual harassment, patents and copyrights, student, and employee disciplinary policies as
well as by applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Persons using CSC computing and electronic communication facilities and services bear the primary
responsibility for the material that they choose to access, send, or display. CSC cannot protect individuals
against the existence or receipt of material that may offend them. Persons who make use of CSC computing
and electronic communications facilities and services are warned they may unwillingly come across, or be
recipients of, material that they may find offensive.
Persons using CSC computing and electronic communications facilities and services are expected to
demonstrate good taste and sensitivity to others in their communications. It is a violation of college and CIS
policy to use electronic mail to libel, harass or threaten others. It is also a violation of College and CIS policy
to access and view materials in a manner that would create the existence of a sexually hostile working and/or
educational environment.
The use of CSC computing and electronic communications facilities and service is a privilege that may be
revoked for inappropriate conduct. Persons who violate applicable federal, state or college policies will be
asked to cease those activities and are also subject to suspension/revocation of such privileges and/or college
disciplinary action.
CSC makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the service it is providing. CSC will
not be responsible for any damage suffered through the use of CSC computing and electronic communications
facilities and services, including, but not limited to, loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, mis-
deliveries, or service interruptions caused by its own negligence or by user errors or omissions. Use of any
information obtained via the Internet is at the user’s own risk. CSC specifically denies any responsibility for
the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its computing and electronic communications and
facilities.
When computer labs are full there will be a two-hour limit on computer use. CIS is not responsible for data loss.
Retaliation/Complaints
Connors State College takes complaints seriously and works to resolve issues in a satisfactory manner. Any
person who, in good faith, brings forth a complaint, regardless of the nature of the complaint, shall be free
from retaliation or reprisal, threats of retaliation, discharge, or other illegal discrimination. In addition,
individuals will not be adversely affected because they refused to carry out a directive which constitutes fraud
or is a violation of applicable local, state, federal or other laws or regulations. See Board of Regents Policy
3.11 for more information.
Sexual Harassment and Misconduct
General - Connors State College explicitly condemns sexual harassment of students, staff and faculty and
will not tolerate such conduct on or off campus. Sexual harassment is unlawful and may subject those who
engage in it to college disciplinary sanctions, as well as civil and criminal penalties.
Connors State College participates and sponsors events throughout the school year to prevent and create
awareness about sexual misconduct.
All students, staff and faculty must take and satisfactorily complete one time the “Not Anymore” sexual
assault and harassment training online. Students who fail to complete the training will not be allowed to enroll
for the subsequent semester.
Definition - Sexual Harassment: Making unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other
verbal or physical contact or communication of a sexual nature when:
• Submission to such conduct or communication is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or
condition of educational benefits, employment, academic evaluations, or other academic
opportunities,
• Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communication by an individual is used as the basis
for an employment decision or academic decision affecting such individual, or
• Such conduct is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent and objectively offensive that has the
effect of creating an intimidation, hostile or offensive environment which negatively affects an
individual’s academic or employment environment.
Sexual harassment does not include verbal expressions or written materials that are relevant and appropriately
related to course subject matter or curriculum, and this policy shall not abridge academic freedom or the
College’s educational mission.
Definition - Sexual Misconduct: Engaging in non-consensual contact of a sexual nature. Sexual misconduct
may vary in its severity and consists of a range of behavior or attempted behavior including but not limited to
the following examples of prohibited conduct:
• Unwelcome sexual touching: Touching an unwilling or non-consensual person’s intimate parts
(such as genitalia, groin, breast, buttocks, mouth, or clothing covering same); touching an unwilling
person with one’s own intimate parts; or forcing an unwilling person to touch another’s intimate
parts.
• Exposure: Engaging in indecent exposure, voyeurism or in non-consensual sharing of sexually
explicit images.
• Non-consensual sexual assault: Penetrating bodily opening of an unwilling or non-consensual
person with any object or body part. This includes, but is not limited to, penetration of a bodily
opening without effective consent through the use of coercion.
• Forced sexual assault: Penetrating any bodily opening of an unwilling or non-consensual person
with any object or body part that is committed either b force, threat intimidation or through
exploitation of another’s mental or physical condition (such as lack of consciousness, incapacitation
due to ingestion of drugs or alcohol, age, or mental disability) of which the respondent was aware
or should have been aware.
Effective consent is informed, freely and actively given, mutually understandable words or actions that
indicate a willingness to participate in mutually agreed upon sexual activity. Initiators of sexual activity are
responsible for obtaining effective consent. Silence or passivity is not effective consent. The use of
intimidation, coercion, threats, force or violence negates any consent obtained. Consent is not effective if
obtained from an individual who is incapable of giving consent due to lack of consciousness, age, mental
disability, or incapacitation due to ingestion of drugs or alcohol.
Examples of Misconduct:
• Verbal
• Unwelcome sexual flirtation, advances, or proposition for sexual activity.
• Continued or repeated verbal abuse of a sexual nature.
• Use of sexually offensive or degrading language used to describe a person or remarks of
a sexual nature to describe a person’s body or clothing.
• Stating, indicating, or implying that benefits will be gained or lost based on response
to sexual advances.
• Non-verbal:
• Displaying sexually demeaning or offensive objects and pictures.
• Staring at someone, blocking another’s path, or otherwise restricting his or her

• Making sexual gestures with hands or body movements.
• Letters, gifts, or materials of a sexual nature.
• Physical:
• Offensive physical contact.
• Sexual assault, coerced sexual intercourse, or other sexual contact.
Retaliation/Complaints:
It is a violation of college policy for any employee to initiate any personal action outside the judicial system
or established college disciplinary system in retaliation or reprisal against a faculty member, staff employee
or student for reporting sexual misconduct or for anyone to make an accusation of sexual harassment without
good cause or reasonable basis. Such types of conduct may result in disciplinary action.
Complaint Resolution Procedures:
Emphasis is placed on resolving complaints informally in a non-adversarial process in which the involved
parties reach mutually satisfactory understanding and agreement.
• Advisement – an individual may bring the matter to the appropriate supervisor whose role will be to
discuss with the complainant his or her options for further action. If the person does not wish to
talk to his or her supervisor, he or she may seek assistance from the Affirmative Action Officer. If
an extraordinary conflict of interest prevents the usual review procedures, the complainant may
request assistance directly from the Office of the President. Every attempt will be made to protect
the privacy of the parties involved.
• Mediation – the complainant may ask for a mediated resolution between him or herself and
the accused. The goal of mediation is to provide a forum where the complainant and
accused can come to a mutually agreed-upon resolution. Mediation will occur only if both
parties are willing to participate in the process. The appropriate Vice President will serve
as the mediator.
• Formal review – either the complainant or the accused may ask that the matter be handled
formally rather than informally. All formal grievances must be filed in writing within 180
days of occurrence. The appropriate procedures are as follows:
• Students – formal complaints against other students can be taken to the Director of
Campus Life/designee.
• If one or more allegations are proven to have merit, disciplinary actions
may include, but are not limited to: (See Section VII: Sanctions in the
Student Code of Conduct).
• Employees – employees or students can make complaints against college
employees by filing it with the Affirmative Action Officer. The procedure is as
follows:
• A formal complaint shall consist of a signed statement detailing the
sequence and nature of events.
• Review of complaint by Affirmative Action Officer at the Human
Resources office at Gatlin Hall, second floor.
• Notification to the accused that will then be afforded opportunity to respond.
• Affirmative action committee will be provided with a written response
statement from the complainant. Interviews will be conducted, if
necessary, with all that have knowledge of the matter. These proceedings
will be kept confidential. *
• Request additional information as needed.
• Formal hearing action – The Affirmative Action Committee determines if the allegation is
with or without merit. If merit cannot be established, the Affirmative Action Officer shall
dismiss the complaint and shall inform the complainant. The complainant can appeal the
decision by addressing one of the other vice presidents in writing as to the basis of the
disagreement.
• If the affirmative action committee concludes that there is reasonable merit to the alleged
violation the Affirmative Action Officer shall prepare a written report to the college
President. Within 45 days of receipt of the report, the president will make a determination
and take appropriate action. Employees can appeal to CSC President.
Consensual Relation between Faculty and Students:
It is the view of the college that it is unwise and inappropriate for faculty or staff who have romantic relations
with students, to teach such students in their classes, supervise them in work, or recommend them for
scholarships, awards, or employment. Romantic relationships that might be appropriate in other contexts
may, at college, create the appearance of an abuse of power or of undue advantage. Prudence and the best
interests of the students dictate that in such circumstances or romantic involvement, students should be
advised to obtain other instructional or supervisory arrangements.
Moreover, even when both parties have consented at the outset of a romantic involvement, such consent does
not preclude subsequent charges of sexual harassment against the employee.
Privacy – in all allegations of harassment, all involved parties will be provided privacy. All documents will be
marked “confidential” and will be retained in sealed envelopes bearing “confidential” labels.
Title IX Gender and Discrimination & Harassment
Connors State College in compliance with Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972, and the Students Right to Know Act of 1990 does not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, physical limitation, or status as a veteran in any of its policies,
practices, or procedures. This includes, but is not limited to admissions, employment, financial aid, and
educational services. Thus, within the limits of its facilities, the college is open to all students who are
qualified according to its admission standards.
Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination and therefore prohibited under Title IX. Sexual
harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature.
It is the policy of the Board of Regents for Oklahoma State University and the Agricultural and Mechanical
Colleges that the Laws of the United States and of the State of Oklahoma shall be upheld and obeyed in all
of its actions. In so doing, the Board is especially aware of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and of Title IX of
the Educational Amendment of 1974, and it continues not to discriminate against persons on the basis of race,
color, religion, national origin, sex, qualified disability, age or status as a veteran.
Any person (student, faculty, staff, or guest) who believes that discriminatory practices have been engaged
in based upon gender may report incidents to the following: Director of HR, ADA, Affirmative Action & Title
IX Coordinator, 231 Gatlin Hall, 918-463-6206; Dean of Students, A.D. Stone Student Union, 918-463-6351;
Campus Safety & Security, Holloway Hall Northeast Entrance, 918-463-6375.
Student Mail and Email
Students are responsible for maintaining a current local mailing address and a current e-mail address with
the Office of the Registrar. Because many official CSC communications are sent to the student at their local
mailing address and their CSC email address, students are responsible for regularly checking their U.S. mail
and CSC e-mail. CSC departments reserve the right to send correspondence through either means of
communications from professors and academic advisors, communications regarding enrollment and
communications regarding student conduct. CSC e- mail can be forwarded to another e-mail account if the
student chooses. More details can be found online at http://connorsstate.edu/newstudent/
Services to Students with Disabilities
Nondiscrimination Policy for Students with Disabilities
Connors State College believes providing a learning climate that accommodates all students is a vital
educational role. Academic accommodations are meant to provide equal access and equal opportunities.
Having a disability protects a person from discrimination but does not establish a need for accommodations.
Academic accommodations are based on need, not desire. At Connors State College, we want to provide an
atmosphere of understanding and awareness in a welcoming and friendly environment by providing or
arranging reasonable accommodations and services to provide assistance to foster independence and
academic accommodations (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1990 (PL93-112) and the Americans
with Disabilities Act, as amended (ADAAA) 2008(PL110-325), that have self- identified and provided
appropriate documentation and has been approved for academic accommodations by the ADA Coordinator.
Please do not hesitate to email the ADA Coordinator for more information.
Any student who feels that they have a qualified disability and desires special classroom accommodations
should contact Jody Butler 918-463-6215 jody.butler@connorsstate.edu
the ADA Coordinator, at the
Muskogee campus and request verification of eligibility for special accommodations. The student is required
to provide documentation of medical, educational and/or psychological conditions necessitating the need for
special accommodations. Students may also notify faculty of their disability and requested accommodations,
but faculty are not required to provide such services until they are contacted by the ADA Coordinator.
**Students with disabilities should notify the ADA Coordinator prior to the semester they plan to enroll in
order to complete the verification process.

Section IV – Academic Regulations
In addition to these minimal regulations, additional college, department, or program requirements may
apply. Students are advised to review all steps of their academic progress with their academic advisor.
Admission, Academic Standing, and Withdrawal
• Admission of Freshmen. Policies and procedures governing the admission of new freshmen are
detailed in another section of the Catalog. (See “Admissions.")
• Admission of Transfer Students. Policies and procedures governing the admission of transfer students
are detailed in another section of the Catalog. (See “Admissions")
• Entry Level Assessment/Course Placement. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education require
the individual assessment of each student to determine academic preparation and course placement. All first-
time students and transfer students with fewer than 24 hours seeking admission or re-admission into degree
programs are required to participate in entry-level assessment. The purpose of assessment is to assist faculty
and admissions personnel to make enrollment decisions that will help students attain their academic goals.
Assessment is required in four subject areas: English, mathematics, reading and science.
The ACT/SAT or unweighted high school GPA is the primary entry-level assessment tool at Connors State
College for recent high school graduates and non-graduates aged 20 and younger. ACT sub scores of 19 are
required in English, reading, mathematics and science for enrollment in college level courses. Adult students
(age 21 and older) and recent high school graduates and non-graduates aged 20 and younger whose ACT sub
scores are less than State Regents’ entrance requirements (sub scores of 19 in all subject areas) may choose
to take ACCUPLACER Placement Testing. If the student requests testing, it must be done before enrolling
for the first semester. Testing is done on a walk-in basis. First-time college students may re-take all or
portions of the ACCUPLACER one time for a fee of $10 per test unit and only if there are mitigating
circumstances and approval after discussion with the Registrar’s Office in consultation with the Office of the
Vice-President for Academic Affairs.
GPA Retention Requirement*
Credit Hours Attempted
GPA
0-30 Credit Hours
1.7 GPA
30+ Credit Hours

*Excludes Repeated or Reprieved Courses, And Physical
Education Activity Courses.
No additional entry level assessment testing is permitted after the student enrolls and on or after the first day
of the semester. For example, a student who has completed or is attending a zero-level math class is no longer
eligible to take the math placement test. The same process applies to English, reading, and science
proficiency testing.
All students are required to provide State-Issued photo IDs to take any ACCUPLACER and/or Residual ACT test.
1.3. A Curricular Proficiencies and Course Placement
Course placement is used to maximize students’ success. All students, including transfer students, must
establish proficiency in English, mathematics, reading, and science before enrolling in college credit courses
in those areas. Students must show proficiency in reading before they can enroll in any English course.
Furthermore, all students, including transfer students, must satisfy the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher
Education (OSRHE) curricular requirement for history and citizenship skills.
Students enrolling in Associate in Applied Science (AAS) programs must satisfy the proficiency requirement
within the particular subject area they are required to complete. For example, if an AAS program does not
require college level math within the degree, a student is not required to complete his or her proficiency in
math. If, however, a student changes from an AAS degree to an Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in
Arts (AA) degree, the math proficiency requirement will become effective.
Students may establish proficiency by one the following methods:
English*
HS GPA: >3.0
ACT: sub-score of 19+, or
SAT: ERW: 321+
COMPASS: W score of 75+ and R of 76+, or

*Scores effective August 2018. Proficiency courses (zero-level) do not apply toward degree programs or graduation requirements.
• Admission to Nursing Program. Admission to Connors State College does not insure admission into the
Nursing Program. (See "Admissions" and appropriate college sections in the Catalog.)
• English Proficiency Requirement. As a condition of admission to CSC, all persons for whom English is
a second language shall be required to present evidence of English proficiency. (See “Admissions")
• Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students not under academic suspension from the College are judged
to be making satisfactory progress toward their educational objectives. (See Academic Regulation 1.3
Admission to Certain Professional Programs.)
• Academic Good Standing. Connors State College defines students in academic good standing if they are
not on academic probation or academic suspension. Some outside agencies may define this as a student with
a grade of “B” or better.
• Academic Probation. CSC requires students to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average
(GPA) to remain in school. Students will be placed on academic probation if they fail to meet the following
requirements:
Credit Hours Attempted
GPA Retention Requirement*
0-30 credit hours
1.7 GPA
30+ credit hours
2.0 GPA
*Excludes repeated or reprieved courses, remedial/preparatory courses, and physical education activity courses.
All courses in which a student has a recorded grade will be counted in the calculation of the grade-point
average for retention purposes, excluding any courses repeated or reprieved, and excluding remedial courses
and physical education activity courses. These calculations are made five times per year, to coincide with the
conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, and the May, August, and summer terms. Grades submitted after
these calculations are carried forward to the next calculation. (See also Academic Regulations 6.4 Grade-
point Average Calculating and 6.13 Academic Forgiveness.)
A student enrolling on probation should seek help from an academic adviser when deciding on an academic
load and extracurricular activities.
• Academic Suspension. A student on probation will be suspended when he or she earns a semester GPA
of less than a 2.00 in regularly graded course work not including activity or remedial courses, and the
retention grade-point average for all hours attempted falls below the following:
Credit Hours Attempted
GPA Retention Requirement*
0-30 credit hours
1.7 GPA
30+ credit hours
2.0 GPA
*Excludes repeated or reprieved courses, remedial/preparatory courses, and physical education activity courses.
• Reinstatement after Academic Suspension. A student who has been suspended from the College for
academic reasons may not be readmitted until one regular semester (fall or spring) has elapsed (unless the
Academic Appeals
committee grants immediate reinstatement). A student’s readmission will be probationary and students who
wish to appeal suspension status should inquire about procedures and deadlines from the Office of Academic
Services.
Readmission after one regular semester (fall or spring) has elapsed will be considered on the merits of the
individual case. Suspended students can be readmitted only one time. If a student is suspended a second time,
he or she must attend another institution and raise the retention/graduation GPA before readmission to CSC
can be considered.
The student should contact the Registrar’s Office for additional information and restrictions. (See also
Academic Regulation 1.9 Academic Suspension.)
Students who have been placed on academic suspension for the first time may petition the Academic
Suspension Appeals Committee for reinstatement based on documented evidence of extraordinary personal
circumstances that may have contributed to their academic deficiencies.
The suspension appeal procedure is as follows:
• Student petitions the Vice President for Academic Affairs in writing detailing the circumstances that
contributed to their academic deficiency.
• The Vice President for Academic Affairs will call a meeting of the Academic Suspension Appeals
Committee.
• The student either appears before the Committee and states the reasons for his/her request for appeal
or chooses to just submit the written appeal. After the student’s appeal, the Committee will make
one of the following decisions:
• Appeal denied – suspension upheld
• Appeal granted – conditional probation enrollment granted
• Appeal granted – no conditions
• If, in the student’s opinion, the decision of the Committee is not satisfactory, he or she may appeal
to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and then to the President.
• Students Suspended from Other Institutions--Students suspended from other Oklahoma State System
institutions may request admission to Connors State through the Registrar’s Office. Students will be admitted
under the same conditions as set forth under First Time Suspensions of Connors’ students.
• Readmission
. A student who has attended CSC but was not enrolled during the past 12 months must
submit an updated Application for Admission. A student who has enrolled in another college or university
since last attending CSC must submit an official college transcript from that school. Admission status will
be determined after an evaluation of the previous work has been made.
• Withdrawing from the College. Withdrawing refers to withdrawing from all courses for which a
student is enrolled for a given semester, and therefore the student is no longer enrolled. The withdrawal
process is initiated in the Admissions Office.
After the beginning of “Finals Week” a student may not withdraw from the College and will be assigned the
grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” or (when appropriate) “I,” “NP,” “P, ” “S,” “U,” by the instructor of each
course at the end of the semester or summer session. International students need to consult with
Registrar/International Advisor before withdrawing. Under new reporting regulations required by the
Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), dropping below full-time can put a student’s
visa status in jeopardy.
Student Status
• Classification of Students. Undergraduate classification is determined by the
criteria below: Freshman 30 or fewer semester credit hours passed
Sophomore 31 or more semester credit hours passed
These hours are calculated based on graduation/retention hours earned.
• Full-time Students. Students who are enrolled in 12 or more semester credit hours (six or more for the
summer session) are classified as "full-time" students.
• Part-time Students. Students who are enrolled but not meeting the definition of full-time students are
classified as "part-time." Undergraduate students are classified as "half-time" if they are enrolled in six hours
in a regular semester (or three hours in a summer session).
• Special Students. A student who does not have immediate plans to enter a degree program but wants to
take courses may be classified as a "special student." A student on an F-1 visa may not enroll as a special
student since he or she must be admitted to a degree program.
Undergraduate Degree Requirements
• Date of Matriculation. A student's matriculation date is associated with his or her first term after high
school graduation as an admitted student in an accredited institution of higher education. That date will be
used in calculating the time limit for the use of a given plan of study.
• Changes in Degree Requirements. A student generally follows the degree requirements associated with
his or her matriculation year. Although the curriculum may be revised before a student graduates, students
will be held responsible for the degree requirements in effect at the time of matriculation and any changes
that are made, so long as these changes do not result in semester credit hours being added or do not delay
graduation. A student has the option of adopting the new degree requirements that have been established
since matriculation. The request must be formally made in the Admissions Office no later than the semester
prior to graduation.
• General Education Requirements. All Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees at Connors
State College have a minimum general education requirement of 37 hours (see page 36).
• Changing Majors. Students are advised to select a specific major no later than the end of the freshman
year. Students on probation, or not making satisfactory progress toward a degree, may change majors only with
the approval of their academic advisor. Students should contact the Office of Admissions concerning
procedures and forms to change majors.
• Deadline for Completion of Requirements. Degrees are conferred only on specific commencement
dates. If a student completes requirements for a degree after a commencement date, the degree will be granted
at the next scheduled commencement after the student files a diploma application. (See Academic Regulation
7.8 Diploma Application) The student may request a certified statement of completion of graduation
requirements from the Office of the Registrar.
• Second Associates Degree. A student who receives an associate degree from CSC may use all applicable
courses toward a second associate degree. A minimum of 15 semester credit hours of additional work,
including all requirements of the second associate degree, is required. An additional associate degree may not
be earned in the same major or degree as the first degree, even if the option is different. For example, it is not
possible to earn both an AS degree in Biology with an option in Allied Health and an AS degree in Biology
with an option in General Biology. Completion of requirements for more than one option may be noted on the
official transcript, but a second degree will not be awarded.
• Final Exam Overload. The Vice-President of Academic Affairs must approve any departure from the
published final schedule.
Credits
• Residence Credit. Residence credit is awarded for work taken on campus (not through correspondence
or credit earned by examination) or at a location officially designated as a residence center by the governing
board of the institution,
• Advanced Standing Credit
. These are credit hours earned elsewhere that may be accepted toward a
degree. Such credit may be given for work done at another higher education institution, by examination or
“testing out” or by military service. A $10.00 per credit charge is assessed for Advanced Standing Credit tests.
A grade of “P” is assigned to advanced standing credit and will not affect the GPA.
Students at Connors may earn a maximum of eighteen (18) semester hours of credit by examination. The
following general rules apply:
• Students eligible to receive advanced standing credit must be enrolled at CSC.
• Twelve (12) or more semester credit hours must be completed before the advanced standing credit is
recorded on the students’ official transcripts.
• The number of advanced standing hours students receive may not exceed the number of resident
credit hours they have earned.
• Credit is awarded only for courses appearing in the current catalog and is designated as advanced
standing credit with the neutral grade of “P”.
• Credit may not be earned in any course in which credit has been earned in a higher-level course in
the same subject area.
• Work taken at proprietary schools, secondary vocational-technical schools, institutions offering
clock-hours’ work, other non-collegiate institutions, unaccredited institutions of higher education or
experimental learning must be evaluated and validated through examination or proficiency testing
on a course-by-course basis.
Connors recognizes CSC departmental tests, the College Level Examination Program subject tests
(CLEP), the Advanced Placement Program (APP) and the OSRHE advanced standing exam for the
college course Introduction to Business, for advanced standing credit.
Advanced standing credit once recorded and validated by Connors is transferable on the same basis as regularly
earned course work.
• Transfer Credit from Other Accredited Institutions. Undergraduate and graduate semester credit hours
earned at another college may be applied toward a degree or certificate program at CSC. The credit must
have been earned in courses offered at a college or university that has been fully accredited within the
Association of the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation. The Registrar’s Office will make the
determination of acceptance of any course to be accepted for transfer to CSC. The number of credit hours to
be accepted and the applicability of such evaluated credit will also be determined at that time. Applicability
of evaluated courses to a particular program at CSC is made by the academic division of the specific
curriculum in accordance with the recommendations for transfer from the Office of the Registrar. Credit will
be evaluated from each individual college transcript.
• Evaluation of Military Credit. Connors State College does not automatically award military credit to
students at the onset of enrollment. Students using VA Education benefits are required to submit military
training documentation for evaluation. Credit is evaluated using the ACE Guide for evaluation of military
credit (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard). No credit will be awarded based on Military Occupancy
Specialty (MOS) which has not been held a primary duty assignment for a minimum duration of one year or
more.
It is responsibility of the student to provide the information below for evaluation. Evaluation will begin
upon receipt of the following documents:
• Military Training Evaluation
Send a copy of your DD-214 or a DD-295
• MOS Evaluation
Your current primary MOS can be reviewed for possible credit if you received an official
evaluation within the last 12 months.
Student will not be certified for VA benefits after the first regular semester until the College’s VA
Certifying Officer has received the DD-214 and any other transcripts for evaluation.
Connors State College awards the credit listed below where appropriate to all veterans that have completed
two years of active duty as verified by the veteran’s DD-214.
HLTH 1113 Personal Health (3 credit
hours) PHED 1112 First Aid (2 credit
hours)
Students will be given Advanced Standing credit and charged $10.00 per credit hour for the above hours.
Credit earned is designated on the transcript by the letter “P”.
• Semester Credit Hour. A semester credit hour is equivalent to (a) sixteen 50-minute class sessions
(including examinations) conducted under the guidance of a qualified instructor plus 32 hours of preparation
time, or (b) sixteen 3-hour laboratory sessions, or (c) sixteen 2-hour laboratory sessions plus 16 hours of
preparation time. These same equivalencies apply to outreach courses, short courses, and other learning
formats for which academic credit is awarded.
Enrollment
• Course Numbering System. All courses are identified by numbers composed of four digits. The first digit
indicates the class year in which the subject is ordinarily taken, although enrollment is not exclusive as to
student classification; the second and third digits identify the course within the field; and the last digit
indicates the number of semester credit hours the course carries. For example, a course numbered 1123
should be interpreted as a freshman, or beginning, level course carrying three hours of credit. A course
number beginning with zero indicates that the course does not carry college credit. A course number ending
in zero indicates that the course carries variable credit.
• Adding Courses. The 10
th
class day of a regular semester or the 4th class day of an eight-week summer
session, or the proportionate period for block or short courses is the last day a course may be added.
• Withdrawing Courses. May occur during the first twelve weeks of a regular 16-week semester or the
first six weeks of an eight-week term. Courses dropped within the add/drop period will not be transcripted and
students receive 100% refund. Courses withdrawn after the drop/add period but before the end of the twelfth
week of a regular 16- week term or the sixth week of a summer or eight-week will be transcripted with a
grade of “W.” Permission of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (or designee) is required to withdraw
a single course after the last date a single course may be withdrawn. Verifiable extenuating circumstances
must be demonstrated for permission to be granted. Verifiable extenuating circumstances must be reasons
out of your control, such as illness or accidental injury. Poor performance in class is not an extenuating
circumstance. There is no refund for courses withdrawn after the Add/Drop period.
Enrollment changes, such as dropping or withdrawing courses, are the responsibility of the student. Failure
to attend classes or nonpayment of tuition and fees does not constitute dropping/withdrawing a course.
• Total Withdrawal from the college means that you are withdrawing from all your courses and are no
longer enrolled for the current semester. This may occur until the final day of classes before Finals Week.
The withdrawal process is initiated in the Admissions/Registrar’s Office.
International students need to consult with the Registrar before dropping courses or withdrawing for the
semester. Under reporting regulations required by the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System
(SEVIS), dropping below full-time can put a student’s visa status in jeopardy.
• Course Load--A course load is the number of credit hours students may enroll in during a semester.
Students in good academic standing can enroll in a maximum of nineteen (19) credit hours in the fall or spring
semesters without prior approval of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. In the summer semester, students
may enroll in a maximum number of ten (10) credit hours without approval.
• Dual Credit. Students may earn credits at another institution in regular course work, extension,
correspondence, distance education or online courses while currently enrolled in residence. Approval for dual
credit must be secured in advance from the Vice-President for Academic Affairs or the credits will not be
accepted. Request form is located in the Admissions Office.
• Class Enrollment Maximum The maximum number of students permitted to be enrolled in each section
of a course is determined by the Division Chair and can be increased or decreased only by the Vice President
for Academic
Affairs (or designee). The number of students enrolled in a class may not exceed the fire code capacity of the
designated classroom.
• Priority Enrollment. Enrollment is based on a first come, first served basis. Currently enrolled students
are encouraged to enroll before they leave for the end of the term in which they are enrolled.
• Late Enrollment. Students are allowed and encouraged to enroll well before the beginning of a given
term (fall, spring, summer). Students whose initial enrollment for the term occurs on or after the first day of
the term will be charged a late enrollment fee. A student is permitted to add classes after initial enrollment
without a late enrollment fee during the first two weeks of a 16-week semester or through the fourth day of
an eight-week summer session or during proportionate periods for block or short courses. Students enrolling
late are responsible for any class work missed. See the "Tuition, Fees, and Cost Estimates" section of the
Catalog for the current late enrollment fee amount.
• Auditing Courses. A student who does not wish to receive credit in a course may enroll as an auditor,
provided space is available. A student who enrolls as an auditor must verify that he or she will not petition to
receive credit for the audited course by any method other than that described below under "Audit to Credit."
Instructor discretion will determine the auditor's level of class participation, such as taking exams or turning
in assignments. Audited courses do not count in the determination of full-time student status and do not apply
toward Veterans Affairs benefits. The request to audit a course is requested at the time of enrollment of the
course with the advisor and Admissions Office. Initial enrollment in a course as an auditor may be completed
only between the first and the tenth class day (inclusive) of a 16-week semester and proportionate periods for
shorter sessions.
Audited courses appear on a student's official transcript with an indication that the course was an audit
enrollment. An "AU" appears where the grade would normally appear. The "AU" does not contribute to a
student's GPA, and no credit hours are earned for the course.
Audit enrollments follow the same resident and non-resident tuition and fee policies as credit enrollments.
Late enrollment fees are waived for audit enrollments. Any individual 65 years or older may audit a class
College Academic Regulations at no charge. The auditor/student is responsible for book(s) and fees
associated with auditing a course.
Grades and Grading
• Official Transcripts. All official transcripts of the student's academic record at CSC are prepared and
released by the Office of the Registrar. Copies of transcripts from other institutions cannot be furnished.
• Grade Interpretation. The quality of student performance in all classes is indicated as follows:

Audit (Grade of “AU”) Students who do not want to receive college credit in a course may, with the approval
of an instructor, audit the course as a “visitor.” Students who audit a course shall have “AU” entered on their
permanent record. Tuition and fees are the same for audit classes as for credit classes. Students cannot ask the
institution at a later date to obtain college credit for a previously audited course.
Incomplete (Grade of “I”) An “I” is given to students who satisfactorily complete the majority required work
in a course (usually 75%) but were prevented from completing the remaining course work due to extenuating
circumstances. The “I” grade is not given at midterm.
The conditions for removal of an “I” grade are indicated on the appropriate forms provided by the instructor.
The maximum time allowed for students to remove an “I” is one semester. The Vice-President for
Academic Affairs may authorize the adjustment of this time period under extraordinary circumstances.
It is the students’ responsibility to satisfy the requirements stipulated by the instructor at the time the “I” is
assigned. It is the responsibility of the instructor to initiate action to have the “I” grade replaced by the
students’ final earned grade. If an “I” grade is not changed by the instructor to a credit-bearing grade or an “F”
within the specified time, the grade of “I” will permanently remain and not contribute to the student’s GPA.
Pass and No Pass (Grades of P and NP) The “P” grade indicates course requirements have been met and credit
earned in courses designated as Pass/Fail or Pass/No Pass. The instructor assigns a normal grade based on
the quality of the work performed. The grades of “A”, “B” and “C” are recorded on the transcript as “P”; the
grades of “D” and “F” are recorded as “NP”. “W” and “I” are recorded without change.
The “P” grade is also used to indicate credit earned through advanced standing examinations for military
service credit or in accordance with the American Council of Education. The grades of “P” and “NP” are
GPA neutral.
Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory (Grades of S and U) The grades of “S” and “U” are GPA neutral and are used
for non- credit seminars, workshops and “0” level remedial or preparatory work. These grades do not apply
toward graduation requirements.
Withdrawal and Administrative Withdrawal (Grades of “W” and “AW”) Grades of “W” are GPA neutral and
are used when students initiate procedures to formally withdraw from class(es). Students may not initiate a
withdrawal from a single course after the posted last day to withdraw each semester unless they have obtained
written permission from the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. It is the student’s responsibility to
initiate a withdrawal from class(es). (See current class schedule for “Last Day to Withdraw” date).
Mark of "N." A
n "N" indicates that at the time grades were due in the Office of the Registrar, a final grade
was not reported by the student's instructor. An "N" is not a grade and will be changed to the grade earned
within a reasonable time. It is not used in calculating grade-point averages.
Faculty may administratively withdraw a student from a class for nonattendance or not submitting academic
work after the drop/add period until the published final date to withdraw, typically the end of the 12
th
week
in a 16
th
week semester. AWs will be used for students who do not attend class or submit academic work for
a substantial, consecutive, number of class time defined as equivalent to 2 weeks of class time. Any student
who is assigned an AW will be responsible for any tuition and fees associated with the class.
• Calculating Grade Point Average. To determine the grade points for each course, multiply the number
of points for each assigned letter grade times the number of credit hours for the course (A=4 points; B=3; C=2;
D=1; F=0). Add the grade points of all courses to obtain the total grade points earned for the semester. Divide
the total number of grade points by the number of hours attempted for the semester to get the grade point
average (G.P.A.).
Grade Point Average
(G.P.A.) = Tot al Grade
Points/Total Hours Attempted
The Connors State College transcript contains several credit and grade point calculations. These are:
Attempted Hours (AHRS) All credit hours attempted. Category includes physical education activity credits,
credits for zero-level courses and specific repeat credits that affect grade point average. Not all attempted
hours may count toward the cumulative graduation/retention GPA.
Earned Hours (EHRS) C
redit hours earned (including physical education credit) but excluding zero level
credits. Quality Hours (QHRS) Credit hours counting toward graduation. These do not include physical
education activity credits, withdrawal credits or repeated credits which affect the GPA Quality hours used to
calculate academic actions such as Probations and Suspensions.
Quality P
oints (QPTS) A calculation in the formula for assigning grade point averages. It is computed by
multiplying the number of points assigned to each letter grade by the number of credit hours for each course.
See Calculating Grade Point Averages above.
Grade Point Average (GPA)--The average of all college level grades applied to a student’s total enrollment
history. Based upon a 4.0 grading scale.
Current G
PA Credit and grade point average category applied to current semester only.
Institution GPA Credit and grade point average category applied to Connors State College only. Does not
include transfer credits.
Cumulative Graduation/Retention (Cum Grad/Ret) GPA Accumulated credits and grade point averages
applied to Connors State College graduation and retention requirements. Includes transfer credits applied to
the degree. Does not include physical education activity courses.
Cumulative GPA A
ll credits and grade point averages accumulated from all courses attempted during a
student’s academic experience. Includes all transfer credits, failing grades and credits counting for college
credit.
• Mid-Term Progress Reports. Faculty is expected to report six-week progress grades for all students
(regardless of classification). Mid-term grades are made available to all students electronically via Self
Service Banner.
• Grade Reports. Grades at the conclusion of each semester can be found electronically through SSB.
• Correcting Grades Reported in Error. The only permitted reasons for changing a final grade are to correct
a grade that was reported in error, to remove an incomplete grade, or to change a grade at the direction of the
Grade Appeals Committee. An instructor may not allow students to perform extra work after the end of the
course in order to raise their grade.
• Grade Appeals. A student may appeal a grade given by an instructor in cases in which he or she believes
the final grade awarded is clearly erroneous, assigned in an arbitrary manner or inconsistent with the
announced grading policy. The student grade appeal process must be initiated within six months from the
time the student receives his/her contested grade. The procedure to follow is:
• Instructor—Student contacts the instructor. If consensus is not reached, the appeal moves to Division Chair
level.
• Division Chair—Student prepares a written appeal and submits it to the appropriate Division Chair.
If the Division Chair is the student’s instructor, the appeal is presented to the Vice-President for
Academic Affairs. If consensus is not reached, the appeal moves to the Grade Appeals Committee.
• Grade Appeals Committee—The Grade Appeal Committee is appointed by Vice-President for
Academic Affairs. The Vice President for Academic Affairs (or designee) chairs the Grade Appeals
Committee. Committee members selected will not be from the academic division involved. At a
Grade Appeals Committee meeting the following events will occur:
• The student states in writing (and in person if the student requests) the reason for the appeal.
• The instructor provides evidence indicating how the grade was assigned.
• The committee evaluates the evidence, provides reasons for their decision and prepares a report.
Written notice of the decision is sent within ten working days to the student, the instructor, the
instructor's division chair and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
• Student has five (5) working days to file a written appeal of the Committee’s findings to the
Vice President for Academic Affairs.
• Vice President for Academic Affairs – The Vice President for Academic Affairs will consider
appeals in the event new evidence surfaces or other unusual circumstances. The decision of the
Vice President for Academic Affairs will be rendered within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
complaint shall conclude the procedure of a grade appeal.
• Honor Rolls. Full-time Students (12 or more semester credit hours in a regular semester or six or more in a
summer session) who complete at least 12 enrolled hours (or six in a summer session) with a semester (not
cumulative) grade- point average of 4.00 (i.e., all "A's") are placed on the President's Honor Roll. The grade
of "P," "S" or "W" or grades earned through correspondence may not be included in meeting the minimum
enrollment required or grade-point average required for an honor roll. Students who have completed their
courses under the same requirements as outlined above, with a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher and no
grade below "C," are placed on the Vice President’s Honor Roll. (See also Academic Regulation 6.4 Grade-
point Average Calculating.)
• Academic Forgiveness. Repeated Courses—Students may repeat courses and have only the second grade
earned, even if lower than the first grade, count in the calculation of the retention/graduation grade point
average (GPA).
Students may repeat up to a maximum of four courses, not to exceed 18 hours, in which the original grade
earned was a “D” or “F.” If a course is repeated more than once, all grades except the first attempt are included
in the grade-point averages. The original course and grade remain on the transcript identified with a statement
under the course "Repeated (excluded from GPA)." All other repeated courses, those in excess of the 18-hour,
four-course maximum and those with a grade of "C" or better in the original course, are included in the grade-
point averages and identified with a statement under the course "Repeated (included in GPA)".
Students wishing to repeat more than four (4) courses or eighteen (18) credit hours may do so with the
understanding that all original and repeated grades will be used in the calculation of the retention and
graduation GPAs.
If students repeat a course in which they received a grade of “C” or better, both grades are used in calculation
of the GPA and no additional hours will be earned.
Students who repeat courses must contact the Registrar’s Office for proper academic documentation and
information entry into the computer system. The notification should be made during the semester in which
the course or courses are to be repeated.
Students transferring to four-year institutions should consider repeating courses at Connors if they earned a
grade of “D” or “F”. Lower-than-”C” grades may not successfully transfer to some programs at four-year
institutions, particularly in the pre-professional majors such as pre-medicine, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, and
education.
• Academic Reprieve Policy. Academic Reprieve is a provision allowing students who have encountered
academic difficulty in the past to request an Academic Reprieve of all course work taken in up to two
consecutive semesters. Requirements for the academic reprieve include:
• At least three years must have elapsed between the time the grades were earned, and the reprieve is requested.
• Students must be currently enrolled at CSC and prior to requesting the reprieve, must have earned a GPA of
2.0 or higher with no grade lower than a “C” in a minimum of twelve credit hours of regularly
graded course work at Connors State College.
• The request may be for one semester or term of enrollment or two consecutive semesters or
terms. The semester(s) requested must have a GPA of less than 2.00 or contain “F” grades.
• Students must submit a written request including copies of all college transcripts to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs for consideration of an academic reprieve.
• The Registrar reviews each request and recommends either an approval or denies the request
based on OSRHE Policy guidelines.
• The information is forwarded to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for the final decision and
to notify the student.
• Students may not receive more than one academic reprieve during their academic career.
• If a reprieve is granted for a specific term, all grades and credit hours previously earned during that
term are affected.
• The courses for a semester that is reprieved are excluded from the retention and graduation
grade-point averages and identified with a statement under the course "Reprieved (excluded from
GPA)".
• Academic Renewal Policy. Offering academic renewal for students is optional for all State System
institutions. Academic Renewal is a provision allowing a student who has had academic trouble in the past
and who has been out of higher education for a number of years to recover without penalty and have a fresh
start. Under Academic Renewal, course work taken prior to a date specified by the institution is not counted
in the student’s graduation/retention GPA. A student may request Academic Renewal from public State
System institutions with academic renewal policies consistent with these guidelines:
• At leave five years must have elapsed between the last semester being renewed and the renewal request;
• Prior to requesting Academic Renewal, the student must have earned a GPA of 2.0 or higher with
no grade lower than a “C” in all regularly graded course work (a minimum of 12 hours) excluding
activity or performance courses;
• The request will be for all courses completed before the date specified in the request for renewal;
• The student must petition for consideration of Academic Renewal according to institutional policy;
• All courses remain on the student’s transcript but are not calculated in the student’s
retention/graduation GPA. Neither the content nor credit hours of renewed course work may be used
to fulfill any degree or graduation requirements.
Graduation
• Graduation Requirements. The responsibility for satisfying all requirements for a degree rests with the
student. Advisers, faculty members and administrators offer help to the student in meeting this responsibility.
• Minimum Hours for Graduation. Each degree program requires a specific minimum number of semester
credit hours for graduation, as indicated in the college catalog. No degree program shall require fewer than
60 semester credit hours for graduation. (By OSRHE policy, these 60 are exclusive of physical education
activity courses.) No student shall be permitted to graduate having completed fewer total hours than the
requirement specified for that degree.
• Grade-Point Average for Graduation. A retention/graduation grade point average of 2.00 or higher is
required for all courses in which a student has a recorded grade, excluding any courses repeated or
reprieved and excluding remedial courses and physical education activity courses. (See Academic
Regulation 6.13 Academic Forgiveness.)
• Requirements for Honors Degrees. Students are eligible to graduate with academic honors if they
complete their graduation requirements and achieve the following cumulative grade point averages:
4.00 - 3.95 Summa Cum Laude
3.94 - 3.80 Magna Cum Laude
3.79 - 3.65 Cum Laude
• Graduation Application. All degree candidates must submit a graduation application in the Admissions
Office before or during their final semester to be eligible for graduation. Students must be classified as a
sophomore before they can submit a graduation application. Students must submit their graduation
application by the end of the second week of March for spring and summer graduate names to appear in the
spring commencement program. Students who will complete all degree requirements in the summer should
file their diploma application for the summer term but are invited to participate in the spring commencement
ceremony.
Students who have filed a graduation application and need to modify their expected graduation term should
file a Graduation Application Extension form with the Office of the Registrar. This form allows you to change
the expected graduation term on your diploma application and allows you to register for classes in the
following semester.
• Presence at Commencement Exercises. Connors State College will hold Commencement exercises at
the close of the spring semester. Students who plan to meet the graduation requirements at the close of the
following summer session are invited and encouraged to participate in the Commencement exercises at the
close of the previous spring semester.
The College encourages all candidates for degrees to be present at the Commencement exercises.
Attendance is not compulsory.
Miscellaneous Terms and Policies
Academic Advisors--Academic advisors assist students to select the correct courses, review the course
requirements in the subject field they have selected and with academic problems that may occur. Students
are encouraged to seek advisement under a faculty member within their major or discipline. The faculty also
serve as advisors. Additionally, a federally funded Student Support Services program is available to students
who qualify.
ACCUPLACER Test-- ACCUPLACER is a computerized assessment test developed by the College Board.
It provides information about students’ abilities in English, and mathematics and reading. At Connors State
College, it is used for entry-level assessment and course placement.
ACT/SAT Tests--The American College Test (ACT) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) are used for
admission purposes, measuring students’ knowledge in English, math, reading and science. Connors offers
ACT National and Residual testing. Contact the Registrar’s Offices and ACT’s website at www.act.org
for
additional information.
Class Attendance--Students are expected to attend all classes. It is the students’ responsibility to follow each
instructor’s attendance policy as outlined in the instructor’s course syllabus.
Class Schedule--Connors publishes and distributes a class schedule prior to the beginning of each semester.
With the help of academic advisors or faculty members, students develop their own individual class schedules
for each semester they are enrolled. Courses are designated in the class schedule by course department,
course number, description, time and days, the room number and building name, and the instructor’s name.
Commuters--Commuters are students who live off campus and drive to and from classes.
Credit Hours--Students must attend class one classroom hour (usually 50 minutes) per week for sixteen
weeks to earn one credit hour. To earn three credit hours, students must attend class three classroom hours per
week for sixteen weeks or an equivalent amount of minutes. Students earn credit hours by successfully
completing course requirements.
Degree Requirements--Degree requirements are those courses and regulations prescribed for the completion
of a program of study. Requirements may include a minimum number of hours, required GPA, prerequisite,
and elective courses within the specified major and/or minor areas of study and Outcomes Assessment.
Final Exams--These exams are given during the last week of the semester.
Freshmen--Students who have earned 30 or fewer college credits are classified as freshmen.
Full-Time/Part-Time Students--To be classified as full-time, students must be enrolled in 12 or more hours
during a fall or spring semester or in 6 or more hours during a summer semester. Part-time students enroll
in 11 or fewer hours in the fall or spring or 5 hours or less in the summer. The maximum number of hours
allowed are 19 hours during fall and spring semesters and 10 hours during summer sessions. Maximum limits
may be extended upon approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
Honor Rolls--Students who earn a 4.0 GPA in 12 hours or more each semester are placed on the
President’s Honor Roll. Students who earn a GPA of 3.5 to 3.9 with 12 hours or more are placed on the
Vice-President’s Honor Roll. Students may not earn a failing or unsatisfactory grade in the current semester
and still be listed on the honor rolls. Junior/Community College--A junior/community college is a two-
year institution of higher education. Course offerings include transfer curricula with credits transferable
toward a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college, and occupational/technical programs with courses
designed to prepare students for employment in two years.
Lecture/Laboratory Classes--Lecture and laboratory classes are the two most prominent types of classes in
college. In lecture classes, students attend class on a regular basis and the instructor presents the course
material. A laboratory or lab class requires students to perform certain functions in controlled situations that
help them test and understand what they are being taught.
Non-Credit Courses (Zero-Level)--These are courses not meeting the requirements for a college degree or
certificate. Non-credit courses may serve to explore new fields of study, increase proficiency in a particular
profession, develop potential or enrich life experiences and to fulfill high school curricular requirements.
Open-Door Institution—An open-door institution has an admissions policy that offers admission to anyone,
provided their high school class has graduated. A high school diploma or GED is not required under this
policy.
Prerequisite Courses--Prerequisite courses are courses taken in preparation for another course. For
example, Financial Accounting is a prerequisite course for Managerial Accounting and Introduction to
Psychology is a prerequisite for Developmental Psychology.
Registrar--The Registrar is responsible for the maintenance of all academic records and maintains class
enrollments, provides statistical information on student enrollment, certifies athletic eligibility and student
eligibility for honor rolls, administers probation and retention policies, and verifies the completion of degree
requirements for graduation. Semester--An academic year is composed of three (3) terms. Fall and spring
semesters are 16 weeks in length; the summer semester lasts eight weeks; and mini-mester sessions last
approximately two weeks. Typically, two mini- mesters are conducted each year. The spring mini-mester is
scheduled in May and the summer mini-mester follows the summer term in August of each academic year.
Student Support Services--A federally funded program providing qualified students opportunities for
academic development by assisting them to meet basic requirements, maintain retention efforts and complete
their postsecondary education.
Syllabus--The syllabus is an instructor’s action plan for the class. It is a listing of course objectives and a
schedule of requirements, usually explaining the intent of the course and what the students’ responsibilities are,
such as assigned readings, papers, and testing dates.
Transcripts--Transcripts are the students’ permanent academic records. Transcripts typically show courses
taken, grades received, academic status and honors received.
Students may request official transcripts be sent to other educational institutions, to employers, and to
themselves by submitting a request to the Admissions Office. All transcripts requested as “official” will be
mailed in compliance with federal law regarding privacy rights of individual students. Transcript request
forms are available in the Admissions Office at the Muskogee and Warner campuses and on the website under
“Registrar.”
Official transcripts will not be released until all admission, enrollment and financial obligations have
been met. Tuition--Tuition is the dollar amount paid for each credit hour of enrollment. Tuition does not
include the cost of books or room and board. Tuition charges vary and are dependent on such factors as
resident or out-of-state status, preparatory or college-level courses.
Withdrawal--Students may withdraw from either individual courses or from the college during a semester
according to established procedures and dates. Current class schedules outline withdrawal procedures.
• Faculty may administratively withdraw a student from a class for nonattendance after the drop/add
period until the published final date to withdraw, typically the end of the 12
th
week in a 16
th
week
semester. AWs will be used for students who do not attend class for a substantial, consecutive,
number of class time defined as equivalent to 2 weeks of class time. Any student who is assigned an
AW will be responsible for any tuition and fees associated with the class.
Withdrawal from a single course--Students must complete the following to withdraw or “drop” a class:
• During the published drop/add period:
• Complete the proper form in the Admissions Office. Courses dropped during the drop/add
period will not be transcripted.
• After the drop/add period but prior to the end of the 12
th
week of a regular semester or the sixth
week of a summer or eight-week course:
• Secure the proper form from the Admissions Office.
• Complete the form and both you and the advisor sign.
• Return completed form to the Admissions Office for
processing. Students will receive a grade of “W” on their transcript.
Students may not initiate a withdrawal and receive a “W” from a single course after the last day to withdraw
unless they have obtained special permission from the Vice-President for Academic Affairs.
Withdrawal from Connors--Students desiring to completely withdraw from the College must complete the
following:
• Secure the proper form from the Admissions Office or Academic Advisor.
• Complete the form and obtain all necessary signatures from departments to release any holds.
• Return the form to the Admissions Office the day the paperwork is
initiated. Students will receive a grade of “W” in each class.
Students may not initiate a withdrawal and receive grades of “W” after the final exams have begun unless
they have obtained special permission from the Vice-President for Academic Affairs.
If students leave the college and fail to officially withdraw from a single course or from all courses they
were enrolled in, depending on the time the student leaves the institution, a grade of “F” or an “ AW ” will
be assigned to each course. Withdrawal forms may be obtained from the Admissions Office or an
Academic Advisor or the website.
Military Call to Active Duty-Connors State College will make every effort to assist students who are called
to active duty while enrolled. Military Call to Active-Duty cases are processed through the Office of the Vice
President for Academic Affairs at the Warner Campus. CSC is committed to the academic success of the men
and women serving in the United States Armed Forces. As an institution, Connors understands there may be
times when duty calls and students are required to engage in extensive training or full deployment. If
possible, instructors will work diligently with students and devise a plan that will allow for course
completion. If this is not an option, students may provide a copy of his or her orders for deployment in order
to be withdrawn for the course(s) without penalty. Members of the of the United States Armed Forces that
have been forced to place their education on hold due to service-related obligations are eligible to return as
students if they left the College in “good standing”. Connors will assist students called to duty for Service
members for readmission that: (1) Allows Service members and reservists to be readmitted to a program if
they are temporarily unable to attend class or have to suspend their studies due to service requirements;
(2) Follows the regulation released by ED (34 C.F. R. 668.8) regarding readmissions requirements for
returning Service members seeking readmission to a program that was interrupted due to a Military service
obligation, and apply those provisions to Service members that are temporarily unable to attend classes for
less than 30 days within a semester or similar enrollment period due to a Military service obligation when
such absence results in a withdrawal under institution policies. While on leave, VA benefits will be

Graduation Requirements
Each student candidate for an Associate in Arts, Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science degree shall:
• Complete specified degree or certificate requirements with a minimum grade point average of 2.00 (“C”).
• Complete a minimum of 60 semester credit hours. Exclusive of a physical education activity,
military science, performance courses and preparatory or remedial courses (“0-level”).
Note: Students must meet the degree requirements set forth in the Connors State College catalog
current at the time of a student’s initial enrollment. These requirements remain in effect as long as
a student remains continuously enrolled (excluding summers) until graduation. If a student does
not remain continuously enrolled, the degree requirements in effect at the time of re-
admission will apply.
If degree requirements change while a student is continuously enrolled, the student may elect to
meet the new requirements. However, the old and the new requirements may not be combined.
The Admissions Office must be notified the semester prior to graduation.
If the student is unable to meet degree requirements because of changes and/or omissions in
academic requirements or class offerings made by Connors State College, it is the student’s
responsibility to arrange approval by the Registrar and the Vice-President for Academic Affairs for
an exception.
Students should obtain a graduation check from the Admissions Office upon the completion of 30 college credit.
