──────────────────────── HCC - 12 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
All HCC campus locations are open to faculty, staff, students, and visitors during normal operating hours. Supervision by
College employees is required for student access to College facilities during normal operating hours.
While on college premises, all persons are expected and required to obey all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances, as
well as College procedures governing appropriate conduct as determined by the College. Persons in violation of the above
will be subject to any action deemed appropriate by the responsible authority.
HCC employees and students participating in off-campus (college sponsored) activities need to report criminal incidents to
the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction, and inform Campus Security as soon as possible after the incident. Any
violations of the HCC Student Code of Conduct must also be reported.
Known and suspected violations of federal and state laws and other emergencies should be reported to Campus Security for
action. Campus Security supports the Vice President of Student Services in the enforcement and investigation of violations of
the HCC Student Code of Conduct. Please review this code in the catalog. Upon enrolling at HCC, students agree to abide by
the HCC Student Code of Conduct.
Haywood Community College strongly supports state and federal laws concerning sexual assault and sexual harassment. Any
violation or complaint should be made immediately to Campus Security or to the Vice President of Student Services. Victims
are entitled to all services of HCC and available county services. These instructions are posted on bulletin boards across
campus. Crime statistics are gathered from Campus Security logs and incident documentation and reported annually in this
section.
Registered Sex Offenders
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act requires institutions of higher
education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a
State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.
The following web site is the North Carolina Sex Offender & Public Protection Registry: http://sexoffender.ncdoj.gov/
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has set up a searchable web site with information on all registered sex
offenders in this state. This site may be accessed from any campus computer. The site is located at www.doc.state.nc.us/
offenders/.
Sexual Harassment
It is the policy of Haywood Community College, consistent with its effort to foster an environment of respect for the dignity
and worth of all members of the college community, the sexual harassment students and employees of Haywood Community
College is unacceptable and impermissible conduct which will not be tolerated. Specific complaints of alleged discrimination
under Title IX (sex) and Section 504 (handicap) should be referred to:
• Students - Dr. Laura Leatherwood - Vice President of Student Services, Student Center Building (1500), 828.565.4220
• Employees - Marsha Stines, Director of Human Resources, Administration Building (100), 828-627-4529
Crime Prevention
Faculty, staff, and students must recognize that they must take individual steps to protect themselves from becoming a victim
of a crime and work together as a campus community in the prevention of crime and promotion of security / safety.

Information about Haywood Community College
Mission
HCC provides accessible, affordable, and high-quality education, workforce training, and lifelong learning.
Vision
Advancing our community by empowering our students through outstanding learning opportunities and leadership.
Five-Year Strategic Planning Goals
For the 2013-14 through 2018-19 academic years, there are five College Goals that will drive HCC's activities, resource
allocation, and priorities. For each goal, a team made up of personnel from throughout the college will set short-term goals
and plan strategies that will enable HCC to reach the goal by the 2019 target date.
College Goal 1 - Master Plan
By 2018, The Master Plan Team will:
A. Update the College's Master Plan, including new buildings and renovations, in order to build a more cohesive physical
campus that is consistent with HCC's programmatic needs
B. Create a process whereby the Master Plan is reviewed and revised on a regular basis and all new campus development
initiatives are vetted according to the Master Plan
C. Develop a plan to ensure that equipment needs are considered in conjunction with new building and renovations
College Goal 2 - Business & Industry
By 2018, for the 10 fastest-growing industry sectors, the Business & Industry Team will:
A. Align instruction with business and industry needs, including the creation of co-ops and pathways
B. Build relationships with prominent businesses in the region, including formal MOUs and partnerships
C. Market HCC's students to businesses and the community
College Goal 3 - Student Success
By 2018, the Student Success Team will use the Completion by Design (CbD) framework to develop and enact at least three
college-wide strategies that will:
A. Increase year 1 to year 2 retention by 20% (currently, we are at 59.4%, so the goal is to reach 71.3%) (this uses the
NCCCS definition of first-time students in year 1 attempting at least one course in year 2)
B. Increase Curriculum completion rates by 10% (currently, we are at 38%, so the goal is to reach 41.8%) (this uses the
NCCCS definition of first-time students earning a credential, transferring to a 4-year institution, or still enrolled at HCC
with 30+ credits after 5 years)
College Goal 4 - Community & Schools
By 2018, the Community & Schools Team will:
A. Align instruction with community and school needs, including the creation of outreach programs
B. Build relationships with community groups and educational institutions in the region, including creating at least 10
formal partnerships
C. Market HCC's activities and facilities to schools and the community

Governance
Haywood Community College, the only institution of higher education in Haywood County, is part of the North Carolina
Community College System (NCCCS). The NCCCS, the third largest community college system in the country, is made up
of 58 institutions across the State serving more than 840,000 students. This accounts for 1 in 9 N.C. citizens 18 and older.
The NCCCS is the primary agency for job training, literacy, and adult education in the State. Committed to quality,
convenient learning opportunities based on individual and community needs, it provides the State with a well-trained
workforce that meets the needs of employers and helps to attract new and expanding industry. The System offers a wide
range of accessible, low-cost programs for any adult who wants to learn.
──────────────────────── HCC - 15 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
The State Board of Community Colleges, a 21-member body appointed by the Governor and General Assembly, has the
authority to adopt and administer all policies, regulations, and standards it deems necessary to operate the System. At the
local level, each of the colleges operates under a board of trustees.
The Board is composed of a minimum of twelve citizens from the service area in which the college is located. The president
or chairman of the student body serves as an ex officio member. Local board members are appointed for staggered four-year
terms. Four members each are elected by the local school board and the board of commissioners of the administrative area of
the institution. Four members are appointed by the Governor. The board of trustees sets local policy. The local board elects
and the State Board approves selection of each college’s president. The president operates the college within state policies
and policies adopted by the local trustees. Administrative decisions, such as employment of faculty members, are made by
the president. All personnel employed at the colleges are employees of the college and not of the State of North Carolina.
College History
Haywood Community College opened in August 1965 as Haywood Industrial Education Center with one curriculum program
and 39 students. Today, HCC offers over 35 curricular programs to over 3,000 students. Approximately 5,000 more students
attend classes through its continuing education division, including adult basic education, High School Equivalency Diploma
preparation, occupational courses, and community service programs.
In 1973, the College was first accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Commission on Colleges
(SACSCOC).
In 1975, the Haywood Community College Foundation was founded to aid, strengthen, and further the work and service of
Haywood Community College.
The HCC Board of Trustees approved the start of the campus arboretum in October 1977 and John Palmer was appointed as
the founding director in November.
In 1986, the College opened its Regional High Technology Center. This was the first advanced technology center of its kind

Board of Education, and the NC State Board of Community Colleges.
Students must score a designated minimum score (per the articulation agreement) on the high school standardized VoCATS

Residency: Admission of Out-of-State Students
Residency status of all applicants must be determined for the purpose of tuition assessment. Out-of-state students are
admitted under the same admissions requirements as residents of North Carolina, but are required to pay out-of-state tuition
except for courses classified as self-supporting curriculum courses (offered in the summer) or continuing education courses.
──────────────────────── HCC - 23 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
Under North Carolina law, a person may qualify as a resident for tuition purposes in North Carolina, thereby being eligible
for in-state tuition. Copies of this law are available for review in the Enrollment Management Office and may be examined
upon request.
When a North Carolina employer (other than armed services) pays tuition for an employee to attend a community college and
when the employee works at a North Carolina business location, the employer shall be charged the in-state tuition rate.
Applicants are responsible for submission of necessary residence forms and supporting documentation from employers as
required by North Carolina General Statutes. Forms are available online at www.haywood.edu/residency_status.
The NC General Statute 116-143.1 requires that, “To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, a person must have
established legal residence (domicile) in North Carolina and maintained that legal residence for at least 12 months
immediately prior to his/her classification as a resident.” NC General Statue 116-143.1 also sets forth statutory definitions,
rules, and special provisions for determining residency status for tuition purposes.
To be eligible for classification as a North Carolina resident for tuition purposes, a person must establish that his/her presence
in the state currently is, and during the requisite 12-month qualifying period was, for purposes of maintaining a bona fide
domicile rather than of maintaining a mere temporary residence for purposes of enrollment in an institution of higher
education. Under NC General Statutes, an alien admitted to the United States for permanent residence or possessing a
permanent resident status is subject to the same consideration as a citizen. A person holding a student visa cannot be
classified as a resident for tuition purposes.
Regulations concerning classification for tuition purposes are set forth in A Manual to Assist the Public Higher Education
Institutions of North Carolina in the Matter of Student Residence Classification for Tuition Purposes. A copy of this manual
is available for review in the Enrollment Management Office.
The Director of Enrollment Management will review the application, make a determination as to the individual’s residency/
non residency status, and then will advise the individual in writing of the decision.
Residency Ruling Appeal Procedure
In the event an individual disagrees with the Director of Enrollment Management’s ruling on residency status, the ruling may
be appealed to the Vice President of Student Services. The appeal must be made in writing within ten days to the Vice-
President of Student Services.
Admission of Distance Learning Students Residing Outside of NC
Haywood Community College is not authorized to provide distance learning courses outside of NC, unless state authorization
has been granted from the state in which the applicant resides. State Authorization requires colleges to seek and secure
authorization to offer instruction in that state. Compliance with individual state requirements is now part of the Higher
Education Opportunity Act of 2008, Amended 2010.
Admission of applicants residing outside of North Carolina to an on-line degree, diploma, certificate program, or individual
on-line courses offered by Haywood Community College is dependent on the college’s ability to secure authorization from
the applicant’s state of residence. A list of states that North Carolina is currently authorized to offer on-line instruction in is
available at www.haywood.edu/distance_learning/heoa_consumer_information.
Please note that state authorization does not affect the cost of attending college at HCC. Tuition requirements, including those
for out-of-state students, still apply. This requirement does not apply to non-credit continuing education courses.
Admission of International Students
Currently, Haywood Community College does not issue the I-20 necessary for international students with F-1 visas. If
demand increases, approval for admission of international students with F-1 visas could be re-instated. Other visas for short
term enrollment may be considered on an individual basis. Information and/or questions should be directed to the Director of
Enrollment Management.
──────────────────────── HCC - 24 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
Admission of Undocumented Students
An undocumented immigrant may apply and enroll in curriculum courses at Haywood Community College if he/she has
attended and graduated from a United States public high school, private high school, or home school that operates in
compliance with State or local law. An undocumented immigrant shall not be considered a North Carolina resident for tuition
purposes. All undocumented immigrants admitted under this rule must be charged out-of-state tuition whether or not they
reside in North Carolina. Students lawfully present in the United States shall have priority over an undocumented immigrant
in any class or program of study when capacity limitations exist. Refer to NC Community College System State Board Code
1D SBCCC 400.2 (b).
An undocumented immigrant should take into account that federal law prohibits states from granting professional licenses to
undocumented immigrants i.e. Cosmetic Arts programs, Nursing, BLET, etc.
An undocumented immigrant may take college level courses as part of the Career and College Promise program as a
qualifying high school student, or Adult and Continuing Education programs such as Basic Skills, GED, Adult High School
or Occupational Extension classes. (Per CC08-114 Numbered Memo from NC Community College System Office.)

Intellectually Gifted and Mature Program
Effective January 2012, community colleges will no longer be permitted to enroll students under the age of 16 as part of the
Intellectually or Academically Gifted (AIG) program. On July 1, 2011, in Section 7.1A.(f) of Senate Law 2011-145 and
House Bill 200, the North Carolina General Assembly repealed G.S. 115D-1.1 and G.S. 115D-1.2 which previously allowed
students under the age of 16 who met specific academic criteria to enroll in community college courses. In effect, community
colleges are no longer able to offer enrollment options for students who are under the age of 16 unless they have earned a
high school diploma or unless they are participating in one of the three Career and College Promise pathways.

Carolina Community College System which is “to open the door to high-quality, accessible educational opportunities that
minimize barriers to post-secondary education, maximize student success, develop a globally and multi-culturally competent
workforce, and improve the lives and well-being of individuals.”
──────────────────────── HCC - 29 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
There are no tuition costs for College & Career Readiness programs. A fee is applied for GED® testing.
North Carolina’s College & Career Readiness program assists adults in obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for
work, further education, family self-sufficiency, and community involvement.
North Carolina’s purpose is in line with federal legislation which governs the program, The Adult Education and Family
Literacy Act, Title 2, of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 which states as its purpose the creation of “a partnership
among the Federal Government, States, and localities to provide, on a voluntary basis, adult education and literacy services,
in order to:
• Assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency
• Assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills necessary to become full partners in the educational
development of their children
• Assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education.”
HCC’s College & Career Readiness Department offers the following opportunities:
Adult Basic Education (ABE) can assist you in pursuing a High School Equivalency Diploma, obtaining an Adult High
Diploma, becoming better prepared for the workplace, developing skills to enable you to get a better job, creating a stronger
presence in family life, or entering college. The program also provides skill building instruction to support the transition to
continued education, certificate programs, workforce development, and/or degree programs.
Adult High School Diploma (AHS) is a College & Career Readiness program which gives adults the opportunity to
complete requirements to earn an actual high school diploma. Through careful evaluation of transcripts, interview, and
acceptance procedures, students will be able to determine the number of high school credits needed and work to complete the
study for a diploma. This diploma is honored and accepted at community colleges, most private colleges, many universities,
and by employers across the nation.
Career College is a one-year postsecondary certificate program for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
This entry-level program provides a foundation for transitioning into a career or additional coursework. The students further
develop reading, math and computer skills along with participation in a hands-on practicum experience within a specific
program of study. Students must be referred to Career College by: High School OCS Teachers, High School Guidance
Counselors, Transition Coordinators, and/or Vocational Rehabilitation.
Compensatory Education Program is an academic program specifically for adults with intellectual disabilities. The
program features lessons in community living, consumer education, health, language, mathematics, social science, and

Academic Advisement
Certificate, Diploma and Degree Seeking Students
All students declaring a major in certificate, diploma, or associate degree programs are assigned an advisor. Students in a
declared major are required to obtain advisor approval of courses before registering. Registration/advisement periods are
posted in the academic calendar. All returning students should register early and pay or complete financial aid during this
period so as to stay on schedule to graduate.
Each student is responsible for the proper completion of his or her program of study. It is the responsibility of the student to
know the academic regulations of Haywood Community College for maintaining academic standing and for meeting all
graduation requirements. Advisors will provide counsel but the final responsibility rests with the student.
Advisors are the college’s legal agent for overseeing the academic progress of students. In order to graduate on time, students
must complete the designated courses at the time of year they are offered. Advisors maintain a file for each student with their
academic progress. Students who do not know their assigned advisor should call the departmental assistant for their program
of study or Student Services. Students are assigned a student ID number upon applying. It is sent to students in their
acceptance letter. Students may also get their ID number from their advisor or Student Services. Student ID badges must be
worn at all times.
Non-Degree Seeking Students or Continuing Education Students
Non-degree seeking and continuing education students should go to the Student Center for one-stop advisement, admissions,
registration, payment, and books.
Transcripts
If transcripts cannot be obtained due to extenuating circumstances (loss by fire, school no longer exists, etc.) then
documentation of all efforts made by the student and a letter of explanation regarding the circumstances must be submitted to
the Director of Enrollment Management. Faxed copies of transcripts are not considered to be the official transcripts.
Transcripts written in a language other than English must be translated. A certified copy of the English translation and
evaluation should be submitted with the transcript. The College does not provide translation services. Applicants may contact
the World Education Services (International Academic Credential Evaluation) website at www.wes.org for information.
Transfer of Credit & Transcript Evaluation
Applicants to degree, diploma, or certificate programs who want credit for course work completed at other postsecondary
institutions are responsible for having an official transcript from each institution mailed directly to the Enrollment
Management Office. Courses with a grade of “C” or higher may be accepted if they are applicable to the program selected at
Haywood Community College and were earned at an accredited college, university, community college, or technical institute.
Any course with a grade of less than a “C” is not transferable.
Credit transferred to Haywood Community College from another institution will be recognized as hours toward the
appropriate degree, diploma, or certificate but will not be calculated toward the cumulative grade point average (GPA) for
that program. Every attempt will be made to evaluate transcripts for transfer credit prior to registration. Evaluation will be
completed no later than the end of the first semester of enrollment following acceptance into the program of study.
It is the intent of the College that entering students will be successful. Time limitations may restrict the acceptance of credits
from both internal and external sources if it is determined that course material or content is outdated. The Dean over the
program of study in which the course resides will make the decision regarding the acceptance of credit for such courses.
Deans are responsible for approving transfer credit within the major. Transcript evaluation will be completed by Enrollment
Management staff by the end of the first semester of enrollment.
──────────────────────── HCC - 33 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
Transfer credit from other regionally accredited postsecondary institutions pertaining to related and general education
coursework will be approved by the Dean of Arts, Sciences and Natural Resources.
All degree-seeking students must complete either ACA 111, 115, or 122 (depending on individual program requirements) by
the end of their second semester of attendance at HCC. Students with an earned 2-year degree, or higher, will be exempt from
ACA 111 or 115. Students, without an earned 2-year degree or higher, with more than 29 hours of approved transfer credit
from an outside institution will be exempt from taking ACA 111.
CLEP, Advanced Placement, and Armed Forces Training
The College will accept or transfer appropriate credits earned through credit by examination, advanced placement, CLEP,
armed forces service schools, and college-level courses completed prior to graduation from high school. The chairperson of
the department in which the courses are taught determines applicable credit.
The College gives credit for courses in which College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Examinations have
been given and in which appropriate levels of competence have been demonstrated. If a student has taken Advanced
Placement courses in high school and the respective examination and receives a grade of three (3) or higher on the exam, he/
she can receive college credit. The results of the Advanced Placement Examination should be sent to the Enrollment
Management Office by the Advanced Placement Program. For example, a score of at least 3 on the biology AP exam would
entitle the student to receive 4 semester hours credit for BIO 111 (General Biology I).
──────────────────────── HCC - 34 - www.haywood.edu ────────────────────────
Placement Testing
The North Carolina Diagnostic Assessment and Placement Test (NC DAP) is a custom version of College Board's
