Emergency Closure And Procedures

In the unlikely event of a campus closing due to weather or other emergency,
campus closing information may be obtained through SSCs website,
College Messaging System, or the Emergency Closing Center.
If you do not hear or see a message regarding College operations via one of
these sources, assume that the College is operating on its normal schedule.
College Messaging System/SSC Alert

SSC ALERT was created to quickly inform the campus community of time
sensitive or emergency situations.
This alert system has the capability to send messages by voice, email and text
message. Messages will be sent for confirmed emergencies or dangerous
situations that present an immediate threat to the campus such as a tornado,
threat of violence, chemical hazard, or other significant events such as a
school closing, snow emergency or power outage.
This service is only as good as the contact information it contains. If you
wish to receive timely messages regarding campus closures, for example,
please make sure the contact information you have on file with the College
is current.
If you are a student and need to make a change to your record, it can be
updated at the Registration counter. If you are an employee who needs to
make a change, please visit our department of Human Resources.
This alert system is provided in good faith by the College, and it is not a
guarantee of notification in the event of an emergency. Test messages will
be sent at the beginning of each semester to active students and employees.
| Emergency Procedures |
1. Gather and take personal possessions with you.

Students, faculty and staff will be able to list up to six phone numbers, one
SMS/text messaging number, and two email addresses (one of which will be

It is important to remember:
The caller ID listed on messages from this system will be SSC ALERT.
The College will automatically populate any information we have on
file into the alert system. If you are a student, and you do not wish to
participate in this service, please visit the folks in Registration with a valid
photo ID. Employees should visit the Office of Human Resources. Please
note, you will not be allowed to opt-out of any College provided phone
number or email address.

Admissions
What do I need to complete the admissions process at South Suburban
College?
1. With a target date of Fall 2014, the SSC admission application will only
be available for submission through our website www.ssc.edu.
2. A state issued ID is required for proof of residency before application
will be processed.
3. South Suburban College requires all incoming students to provide a
social security number on their SSC application. Your social security
number is required in order for you to receive financial aid or a 1098T,

4. An official high school transcript or GED transcript (if using financial
aid)
5. All official college transcripts (if transferring in prior college credit)
Some programs have additional admissions requirements. Consult current
catalog or a Counselor.
In order to ensure that all new students intending to pursue a degree or

certificate are placed into courses which are appropriate for their skill
level, South Suburban College requires a placement test in Reading, English
and Mathematics to determine if you are ready for college level courses.
A student can walk in to the Assessment Center which is located on the
second floor in room 2266 and test anytime during scheduled hours of
operation on a first-come first serve basis. You will need a Government
issued picture ID.
Steps For Successful Placement Testing

You must wait 24 hours from the time you complete your Admission
application before you can test. This gives you time to review.
You can complete the test in one day or break the test up over several
days, whatever works best for you.
ITS VERY IMPORTANT that you read the Testing Brochure and review
the sample tests for English, Math and Reading so you can do your best
on the test.
Note: The COMPASS test is adaptive, meaning the more answers you
get right, the more you will move up. However, the more answers you get
wrong, the more you will move down.
If you believe you dont need testing because of your prior college credit,
or ACT scores, you can schedule an appointment with a Counselor to
discuss this. SEE THE COMPASS TESTING BROCHURE FOR DETAILS.

General Information
| Student Codes Of Conduct |

Student Codes Of Conduct

Student Codes of Conduct
It is the responsibility of every student to become familiar with the Colleges
Student Code of Conduct.
Academic Conduct
The Academic Code of Conduct is intended to maintain an atmosphere
conducive to developing optimum classroom educational experiences for
all members of the College community, faculty and students. A violation
of the Academic Code of Conduct includes, but is not limited to, any act
of cheating, plagiarism or electronic data fraud related to the instructional
processes of South Suburban College. Cheating is breaking the rules or
creating an unfair advantage over someone else. Cheating includes, but is
not limited to, taking credit for someone elses answers or unauthorized use
of any materials, resources or electronic devices while completing an exam,
quiz or assignment at South Suburban College. Cheating also includes
submitting someone elses work as ones own or helping another student
cheat.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, direct quotation or paraphrasing
of the work of someone else without proper citation of the original source.
For help avoiding plagiarism seek assistance from an instructor, the
Academic Assistance Center or the Writing Center before submitting an
assignment.
1. When an incident of plagiarism, as described in the syllabus, is identified,
the faculty member shall meet with the student to discuss the situation
and complete an incident report. If a face to face meeting is not possible,
telephone or electronic discussion is acceptable, but must be documented.
If the matter is found to be a misunderstanding, the process stops; the
faculty member gives the student a copy of the report and keeps a copy for
his or her records. If the student accepts responsibility for plagiarizing, the
grading policy as stated in the course syllabus will be applied. The student
is given a copy of the report, and the faculty member retains a copy with
any supporting documentation and forwards a copy of the report and
materials to the Vice President for Academic Services office for validation
by the Academic Conduct committee.
2. If the matter is not resolved at Step 1, the faculty member will submit the
incident report promptly to the administrator to whom the faculty member
reports (e.g., the Dean, Associate Dean or Director for the instructional
area). The Academic Administrator will forward a copy of the report to
the VP for Academic Services. When an instructor is requesting a course
grade of F, the Administrator will forward a copy of the report to the
Director of Enrollment Services so that a Registrars Hold can be placed
on the students record for the course involved. This hold will remain until
the incident is resolved.
3. Upon receipt of the completed packet from the academic administrator,

the Vice President will schedule a meeting with the Academic Conduct
Committee, student, and instructor to review the incident and the
grade issued. In the event that a student has already withdrawn from
the course in which the incident occurred, a final grade of F may still
be issued if so outlined in the course syllabus. The Vice President will
communicate the decision of the Academic Conduct Committee in
writing to the student. The decision of this committee is final and will
be reflected in the students grade. Every attempt will be made to have
the process concluded within a reasonable time frame. The hold placed
on the students record will be removed once the committee reaches a
decision.
4. Multiple Incidents: For a second validated offense of plagiarism, a
student will receive a one-semester suspension. Following three or
more validated offenses of plagiarism, the student will be expelled
from the college for no less than two academic years. A student has the
right to appeal any academic sanctions through the office of the Vice
President of Academic Services and the Academic Conduct Committee.
Academic sanctions for cheating and plagiarism may include failure of
an assignment, failure of a quiz/exam, failure of a course or exclusion
from a program of study. The sanctions are determined by the individual
instructor and are clearly stated in each course syllabus. If a particular
course policy is unclear, consult the individual instructor. Academic
success is described not only by the grade received but also by how the
grade is earned. Students may appeal academic sanctions through the
appropriate appeal process.
Dress Code of Conduct

Dress codes are flexible, but students may be requested to leave the campus
if a mode or style of dress interferes with academic processes.
21
The student shall utilize the Academic Conduct Appeal Form to

initialize a formal appeal and submit the information to the appropriate
academic administrator. This written appeal must be filed with the
appropriate academic administrator within five business days of the
date of discussion with the instructor. The academic administrator may
discuss the concern with the student and instructor. The academic
administrator will compile all information and forward the complete
appeal packet to the appropriate Vice President for step 3 of the
process. The student will continue to attend class throughout the
process.
22 Student Code of Conduct

The Student Code of Conduct has been developed to maintain an
atmosphere conducive to developing optimum educational experiences for
all members of the College community. Conduct in violation of this Code
includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:
A. Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of
students to question and discuss with instructors the instructional
process relative to subject content.
If a student is unresponsive to a faculty members intervention and
remains disruptive in the classroom, the faculty member may ask
the student to leave the class session. The student may not return to
class until a meeting is held between the student and the instructor
or the Dean Of Student Development. The instructor shall determine
whether to meet with the student. Appropriate classroom behavior will
be reinforced.
Continued or excessive acts of classroom disruption will prohibit the
student from returning to class until meeting with the Dean Of Student
Development and establishing a behavior contract. The behavior
contract must be agreeable to the faculty member, Dean Of Student
Development and the student. Violation of a behavior contract will
result in additional sanctions. The Dean Of Student Development may
also impose other sanctions.
B. Using pagers, cell phones, and other electronic communication and
entertainment devices (e.g. cd players, tape players, etc.) in classes,
labs, and the library. Pagers and cell phones should be turned off or set
on vibrating alarm. Electronic entertainment devices should be turned
off and put away prior to entering classes, labs, or the library;
C. Using or occupying any space or facilities owned or leased by the
College at any time without authorization of the Board of Trustees or
the appropriate College administrators;
D. Attempting to prevent or obstruct faculty and/or students going to and
from classes or College sponsored activities;
E. Preventing or attempting to prevent any individual on the College
campus from carrying out assigned duties or lawful business;
F. Willfully destroying or damaging College property;
G. Blocking pedestrians or vehicular traffic on or near College facilities;
H. Participating in any activity that endangers the physical being of any
person;
I. Violating any municipal, county, state or federal law, statute or
ordinance while on College facilities;
J. Refusing to comply with College officials performing of their duties;
K. Any act of dishonesty toward the College, including, but not limited to,
cheating, plagiarism, misuse of College documents or records, forgery,
or knowingly furnishing false information to the College, or to others in
the name of the College;
M. Possessing, selling, using, consuming, or distributing alcoholic

beverages or controlled substances or being under the influence of
such items at any College facility or at an officially sponsored College
event on or off campus except an off campus activity where all in
attendance meet the minimum age requirement established by law, and
the location of the activity does not prohibit such beverages;
N. Possessing or using of firearms, explosives, harmful or dangerous
chemicals or other weapons capable of inflicting injury to persons or
damage to property, except as permitted by College regulations;
O. Gambling while on College facilities, unless the activity has been
approved by the College and is permitted by law;
P. Any acts of unprofessional conduct.
Non-violent violations of the Student Code of Conduct will result in
remediation. Remediation will teach the student responsible behavior, the
need to accept the consequences of behavior, and effective communication
and conflict resolution skills.
Violation of this Code of Conduct is considered grounds for sanction
against the student and, if the situation should warrant, binding over to civil
authorities for appropriate action.
Due Process For The Student Code Of Conduct

A student accused of violating the Code of Conduct will be referred to
the Dean of Student Development or the College Disciplinary Standards
Committee. Any alleged infraction requiring the intervention of the
College Police Department, which may include, but is not limited to, acts
of violence or threats of violence, drug or narcotic violations, or any
other action considered a Severe Sanction, will be referred to the Dean
of Student Development to schedule a hearing on the infraction with
the College Disciplinary Standards Committee. The role of the Dean of
Student Development or the College Disciplinary Standards Committee, as
appropriate, is to determine whether the student is guilty of the violation.
The student will receive notice of the alleged violation, including the specific
code violations and appropriate reference to the Student Code of Conduct.
The Dean or the College Disciplinary Standards Committee may impose
any of the following sanctions upon any student found to have violated
the Student Code Of Conduct. Classifications of sanctions from minor
to intermediate or severe will be imposed based upon the severity of the
offense. More than one of the sanctions may be imposed for a single
violation.
23
L. Any conduct considered disorderly, lewd, indecent, or obscene,

including profane or abusive language toward members of the College
community;
24
1. Minor Sanctions

the College has taken note of the students action and further
violations of the Student Code of Conduct may result in probation,
suspension or dismissal depending upon severity of the incident.
b. Probation: Student is reprimanded for violating specified
regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time and may
result in more severe disciplinary sanctions if further violations
occur during the probationary period. The student will receive
written notification of his/her probation.
c. Behavioral contract: Student enters into a written agreement
to modify behavior. The students failure to fulfill terms of the
contract may result in additional disciplinary sanctions.
2. Intermediate Sanctions

Possession or use of firearms, explosives, harmful or dangerous chemicals
or other weapons capable of inflicting injury to persons or damage to
property, not otherwise permitted by College regulations.
Violating any municipal, county, state or federal law, statute or ordinance
while on College facilities.
If the Dean of Student Development or the College Disciplinary Standards
Committee believes dismissal or expulsion is warranted, the College
Disciplinary Standards Committee shall convene within five (5) school days.
The student shall receive notice of the hearing. At the hearing, the student

Disciplinary Standards Committee hearings. The verbatim record may only
be reviewed on the College premises and shall remain College property.
Discrimination and Harassment Policy for Students

South Suburban College is committed to equal rights and will take the
necessary steps to ensure that students may work, learn, and study in an
environment free from illegal harassment and discrimination. Harassment
and discrimination infringe upon mutual respect in all relationships and
have the potential to result in serious harm to student success.
In accordance with the statutory provisions included in Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, and all
other applicable federal and state laws, South Suburban College shall not
discriminate on the basis of a persons race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability or any other factor as
prohibited by law, rule or regulation.
College policies and procedures have been instituted to prevent
harassment and discrimination. These policies and procedures provide for
the investigation and resolution of complaints. Findings of harassment or
25
determine whether the appeal should be referred to the College

Disciplinary Standards Committee. All decisions made by the
College Disciplinary Standards Committee are final.
26
discrimination may result in discipline, including suspension or dismissal

from South Suburban College.
Prohibited Behavior
The College prohibits harassment and discrimination on the basis of age,
disability, national origin, ancestry, race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual
orientation, or marital status, or in retaliation for having made a prior
discrimination or harassment complaint. Harassment is unwanted behavior
directed toward an individual based on one or more of the foregoing
designated characteristics.
Discrimination and Harassment Procedure

Any student who believes that he or she has been subjected to discrimination
or harassment may follow either an informal or formal procedure without
fear of retaliation. The College will complete a prompt and confidential
investigation as set forth below, following notice of a complaint.
Step 1 Any student believing he or she has been a victim of discrimination
or harassment shall notify the office of the Vice President of Student
Development. The Vice President, or his/her designee, shall make an effort
to resolve the matter informally.
Step 2 If the matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved at step 1, the
student shall file a formal written complaint with the Vice President of
Student Development. The mailing address for such complaints is: Vice
President of Student Development, 15800 South State Street, South
Holland, Illinois 60473. If a written complaint is not filed, South Suburban
College will consider the matter resolved.
The written complaint shall be filed within sixty (60) days of the alleged
incident of discrimination or harassment. Written complaints shall be
signed by the complaining student and shall state in detail the time,
place, pertinent facts, and circumstances of the alleged discrimination
or harassment along with any witnesses. The Vice President of Student
Development, or his/her designee, will notify the accused of the complaint
and will conduct a thorough investigation of the complaint within thirty
(30) days of its receipt. The time period may be extended for justifiable
reasons or by mutual consent. The complainant and the accused shall be
informed of any time extensions.
Step 3 Upon completion of the investigation, the Vice President for
Student Development shall issue a written statement of the final outcome
of the investigation. If the Vice President of Student Development finds
substantial evidence that discrimination or harassment occurred, the
written statement shall include a recommendation of a reasonable and
appropriate remedy for the complaining party.
Employees discriminating or harassing students will be subject to discipline
under the appropriate South Suburban College employment policies and,
as applicable, collective bargaining agreements. Depending on the severity
of the incident, disciplinary action against an offending employee may
include discharge from employment. Students discriminating against other
students will be subject to discipline under the Student Code of Conduct.
Step 4 If the complainant is not satisfied with the outcome of the

investigation, he or she shall request, in writing, that the College President,
or his or her designee, review the matter. The complainant must make this
written request within ten (10) days of the written statement in step 3.
Upon receipt of a written request, an impartial four (4) person panel shall
be convened. The College President shall tender the names of three (3)
administrators to the complainant. The complainant shall select one of
these administrators to serve on the panel. The College President shall
also appoint one other College administrator and a vice-president to serve
on the panel and solicit the name of one member of the South Suburban
College Faculty Association, said member to be chosen by the Association.
The Presidents panel shall arrange to meet with the complainant, as well
as any other individuals who may have knowledge of the facts of the
complaint. The panel shall conduct all meetings it deems necessary and
shall submit its findings, in writing, to the President. The panel findings
shall be submitted to the President within thirty (30) working days from
the date the President received the written appeal. The President shall then
determine the necessity of any further action. Time limits may be extended
by mutual consent.
General Provisions
Because of their sensitive nature, complaints of sexual harassment and
discrimination will be handled with the utmost discretion and confidentiality.
Retaliation against individuals who invoke the procedures set forth herein
is strictly prohibited.
Violence and Threats of Violence (Students)

The College is committed to providing a safe working environment free from
violence and free from the threat of violence. Therefore, Zero Tolerance for
violence and threats of violence shall be exercised at the College. Violence
is defined as a physical assault upon any student or employee of the College
or visitor at the College and a threat of violence is defined as any verbal or
nonverbal communication which is designed to create the fear that a violent
act may be committed against the recipient.
The College shall assist members of the College community in reporting
acts of violence and threats of violence and the following procedures shall
be applicable:
1. Any student who witnesses, hears, or is the recipient of violence
or threats of violence shall report the incident to the Campus Police
Department.
2. An incident report shall be completed, describing the time, place, and
circumstances of the incident as well as the person(s) involved. A copy
of the report shall be forwarded to the Dean of Student Development.
27
When deemed appropriate and necessary, South Suburban College may

take additional corrective action to remedy any instances upon a finding of
discrimination or harassment.
28
3. The College shall immediately remove from the College premises any
student accused of committing a violent act or accused of threatening
a violent act at the College, until a hearing is held.
4. The College shall fully investigate any reported violent act or threatened
violence to a member of the College community or visitor at the College.
5. The student will receive notice of the alleged violation, including
reference to specific code violations and information regarding the
Student Codes of Conduct procedures.
6. An Interim Suspension denying the student access to the campus
(including classes) shall be imposed until the student meets with the
College Disciplinary Standards Committee.
7. The College Disciplinary Standards Committee will convene within five
(5) school days of the act of violence or threat of violence to review the
facts and determine the appropriate Severe Sanction as discipline for a
violent act/threat.
8. The Dean of Student Development will notify the student, in writing, of
the Committees decision.
Within five (5) days of the imposition of any of the above sanctions, the
student may submit a written request for a meeting with the Disciplinary
Standards Committee. The request shall be made to the Dean of Student
Development. Within a reasonable time, the Disciplinary Standards
Committee shall meet to review the Deans action. At the review, the student
may be present to discuss the matter with the Committee. The Committee
may take such action as it finds appropriate, including the sanctions as set
forth above or no sanction, and inform the student of the decision within
two (2) school days of the meeting.

Studying For Tests

Review notes frequently. Do not wait until the end of the unit to begin
reviewing.
Use note cards to review concepts that are especially difficult for you.
Use all resources to get a complete picture of what might be on the

test.
Complete chapter reviews and tests in the textbook.
Review class notes and unit objectives to determine topics
emphasized.
Review homework.
Simulate a test-taking situation.
Get a good nights sleep the night before a test. A clear mind is as
important as a brilliant one!
Taking Tests

Scan the entire test first.
Do those problems which appear easy first. Go back to the harder

ones later. Problems which at first appear difficult may appear much
easier on the second reading.
Never leave a multiple-choice question blank unless you will be

penalized for wrong answers. Try to use process of elimination to
narrow down your choices.
Do not be intimidated by classmates who leave the test session early.
Check your work if you have time.
Note-Taking And Note-Using Skills

Take notes in outline form, not in paragraph form. Use some type of
notebook to keep notes together and in order.
Write problems along with the solutions.
Record page numbers and problem numbers of examples done from

the textbook to help you coordinate your notes with the textbook.
Do not copy every example done in class. Sit back and focus on the
process.
Leave space for future comments or corrections.
Rewrite your notes to help you review and organize the information.
Use an index card to record formulas and procedures that require

extra attention to be remembered. Review these often.
Review your notes often.
Understanding The Material

Strive for understanding. Do not practice mystery techniques,

those that you do not understand.
Look for generalizations. Compare and contrast problems. How are

they alike?/How are they different?
Refer to your textbooks from previous courses. Another author may

explain a concept in a way that you understand.
37
| Reading Resource |
Take the Chapter Test (or some other practice test) in the
amount of time that will be allowed in class. If you do not
score at least 80% on the practice test, you need to study
more.

38
Study Skills
Each classroom/credit hour requires an average of 3 hours of homework per
week. Unlike high school, which is more class work than homework intensive,
much of your learning in college occurs from your studying outside of class. Your
grade is most often based on the quality of work turned in (papers, exams, etc.)
and not on class attendance or participation. So it is essential that you develop
strong study skills.
1. Develop a regular, practical schedule for yourself, and then stick to it.
If you know that you just cant get going in the morning before 10:00,
dont schedule study time for 8:00. Be realistic.
2. Anticipate when you are going to need time off, and then make sure you
schedule sufficient study time to allow you that time off.
3. Review and amplify class notes as soon as possible after class so that
the professors lecture or discussion is still fresh in your mind.
4. When reading textbooks, skip ahead to the chapter summary, chapter
review or suggested test questions (most textbooks have something
like this at the end of a chapter or section) and review them first. These
are the most important points in the chapter, and your familiarity with
them as you read the text will help you focus on and later recall them.
You can also thumb through the whole chapter, noting the various
headings. When reading non-textbook material, try to find a summary
or review of the material before you tackle the book or article itself.
Some Suggestions For The Writing

Process
(Always follow the directions of your instructor)
I.
Decide on a topic
a. Choose a topic you already know something about.
1. Talk to people
2. Look around you
3. Recall memories
b. Read and Learn about your topic (do research) using:
1. Periodicals
2. Reference books
3. The internet
II. Narrow your topic

a. To whom are you writing?
b. What is the goal of the writing project?
III. Plan your paper

b. Grouping related ideas under similar heading (main ideas)
c. Arranging ideas in order (logical sequence)
d. Developing an outline
IV. Follow your outline as you write
a. Introduction
1. Arouse your readers interest with an anecdote (a brief story)
in longer composition or a paper.
2. Raise a question; it pushes the reader on to find the answer.
3. Make a direct statement of topic (especially when interest in
the topic may be strong)
4. Use a negative statement of topic followed by a positive or
direct statement.
5. Provide general background information when writing about
a topic about which the reader probably knows little.
b. Body
1. State main points
2. Develop main points. Here are some ways:
a. Give details, examples, or facts
b. Tell a story
c. Relate an incident
d. Give reasons
e. Make comparisons or contrasts
c. Conclusion
1. Very short compositions could conclude with merely a
restatement of the most important main topic.
2. Explanations of how to do or make something should
conclude with a statement of the final product.
3. A persuasive composition should end with a final call to action
or a warning of the consequences if no action is taken.
4. Longer compositions may end with a summary, a restatement
of the main idea but not a mere listing of the main points.
5. Descriptive compositions should end with a general
impression of the object, person, or place.
39
a. Listing specific ideas
40
V. Editing
a. Reread your paper
1. Does it make sense?
a. Are too many undefined words or technical terms getting in
way of meaning?
b. Are transitions between sentences clear? (Do they show
the relationship between ideas, details, examples, etc., in
the paragraph?)
2. Check for grammatical and spelling errors. Use the dictionary,
thesaurus and spell check to improve your work.
a. Read each word slowly.
b. Read each word out loud.
b. Reread your paper again after corrections are made; wait 24
hours and read it again. Are you satisfied with your work?
Note: Give yourself plenty of time to think about your topic and to practice
writing. Start on papers as soon as you are given the assignment so your
work is not rushed. Follow the suggestions and guidelines of your instructor.
Then, relax and let ideas flow as you follow the process. Enjoy the creativity
of writing a good paper!
For More Creative Writing:

Build Your Vocabulary. Use different words to express the same ideas to keep
your writing interesting. Use a thesaurus to look up different words for the
same concepts or items in your work. Use a dictionary to check definitions
and spelling.
For More Help in Writing:

See your instructor and go to the Academic Assistance Center for help.

What is Academic Success?

Academic success is not just the A you receive,
although the A may be one measure. If you obtain
a good grade in a class, while losing your academic
integrity, the grade is not a measure of success. Your
academic life, what you learn and your behavior with regard
to assignments from your instructors and the exams that you take, is
something to which you should give some thought before situations arise
that challenge your values. If you have concerns about assignments and
examinations, if you are unsure about what is the right or ethical path to
take, you should consult with your instructor.
Its a question of values. Your values may make it very easy for you to
determine what cheating is in the academic setting. It may be very clear to
you that asking someone else for answers to questions on an examination,
copying from someone elses homework, purchasing research papers on
line, borrowing papers from friends or having someone write a paper for
you are all wrong and a quick road to the loss of your academic integrity. If
you are not sure of your attitudes about these acts and perhaps think that
they are not always unethical, talk confidentially to a counselor in the SSC
Counseling Center. That person can help you clarify what your values are
and what kind of academic experience you want.
In addition, you should educate yourself about practices in writing and
research. Here are a couple of issues that may arise for you.
What is Plagiarism? The New International Dictionary of English Language
(2000) says that, to plagiarize is to appropriate and pass off as ones own
(the writings, ideas, etc. of another). Donald McCabe, a Rutgers University
professor and the founder of the Center for Academic Integrity at Duke
University, discusses the topic further in an article called Clicking away
at Cheating, in the April 10, 2005 Bloomington Pantagraph. Dr. McCabe
made it clear that when you cut and paste borrow from internet sources
and do not site the source from which you obtained the information in your
document, thats plagiarism. When you take a paragraph and change it a
little and include it in your document without giving credit to the original
author, it may not seem as clear to you, but it is plagiarism.
Citing, paraphrasing, and when to use quotes in a writing assignment are
important skills to learn. If you are unsure about when and how to use such
skills, talk to your writing teacher or visit the Academic Assistance Center
in Room 2264.

Attendance
Students are expected to attend every class meeting of classes that they
are enrolled in and should read the class syllabus to know the instructors
policy on the handling of unavoidable absences.
Failure To Attend Class:

An instructor may issue a student a failing grade if the student is unable
to complete required coursework due to attendance. In order to prevent
receiving the F grade, the student needs to check with the instructor
about being able to make up the missed course work, or the student must
withdraw from the class according to the withdrawal guidelines.
1. Attend class regularly. Be on time and stay until its over. Do not miss more
than one or two classes the entire semester. Get to class five or ten minutes
before it is scheduled to begin. Avoid scheduling any appointments that
would cause you to miss class or have to leave before the class period ends.
2. Prepare to learn. Before a class starts, reflect on the homework
assignment and do a quick review of your notes from the last class. Focus
your attention; ask What do I think the instructor will cover today?
3. Expect to do a lot of homework. For every hour you are in a college
class, you can expect two or more hours of studying/homework. Do the
work. Unlike high school, college instructors may not grade all homework,
but every time you complete a homework assignment you improve your
chances of success in that class.
4. Keep up with the class. When you do have to miss a class, contact your
instructor or another student to get the homework assignment for the
next class. Your instructor will expect you to turn in the homework even
if you missed the previous class. After an absence, instead of asking Did I
miss anything? ask, What did I miss?
5. Get to know your instructors. Learn their names, how to pronounce
their names, and how they wished to be addressed (Dr. or Mr. or Ms).
Make contact with your instructors outside of class.
6. Get the most out of every class session. Help limit distractions. Turn off
all electronic devices when you enter a classroom. Dont become a disruption.
Things to avoid include arriving late, social conversations, and eating and drinking.
7. Get involved in class discussions. Raise your hand and ask a question or
make relevant comments early in the semester. The longer you wait, the
more awkward it may feel to raise your hand for the first time. Youll enjoy
the class more if you participate.
8. Actively manage your attitude. Imagine your classes can be enjoyable
and that it is possible to get something out of every meeting. Dont let
negative thoughts of feeling bored or discouraged destroy your chances
of getting ahead. Try to think positively and make your brain work for you
instead of against you. Its your brain.
9. Get organized. Take notes and make an effort to organize them. Consider
getting a separate folder for each class for notes and class handouts. Know
your syllabus. It often has a semester-long list of assignments. Keep a
calendar; each week plan when you will study and do homework.
10. Fight failure. As soon as you sense you are falling behind or you are having
trouble understanding class material, do something to catch up: (1) Arrange
to meet with your instructor, (2) form a study group, and/or (3) seek tutoring
assistance in the Academic Assistance Center (Room 2264).

For Career Program Students (especially pre-nursing, preRadiologic Tech, Pharmacy Tech, Medical Assistant/Records):
Some programs require admissions, not only to the College, but to the
specific program. There is no guarantee that you will be admitted to
the program you want. Research this issue for yourself through program
advisors or counselors in the Counseling Center. Take the time to look
into the possibility of getting into the program by making an appointment
with an advisor or counselor while you are enrolled in your first semester
of prerequisites. (Prerequisites are courses you need before admission,
such as any college preparatory courses like Reading or pre-college level
English or Math or courses that prepare you for the program area studies
like particular biology courses). Your college life will go much smoother if
you plan ahead.
For Transfer Students:

Are You Planning On Transferring To A Four-Year College Or University?
Contact the Counseling Center in Room 2350 or call ext. 2306 to schedule
an appointment with a counselor regarding your transfer plans.
The counselor can help you:
1. Research four-year colleges, universities, and other institutions of
higher education.
2. Develop a Master Academic Plan to ensure that classes you take at SSC
will transfer to the college or university you plan to attend.
South Suburban College counselors and advisors work with you to help
you get transfer credit for the maximum number of classes. During your
first semester of college you must enroll in OCS 121 so that you can make a
Master Academic Transfer Plan and receive a transfer guarantee. Not all
courses from every accredited college will transfer to every college.

degree and it meets the requirements for the AFA (Associate
of Fine Arts) degree. Consult the Transfer Center for help in
selecting courses appropriate for the program at the college
or university where you plan to attend.

Students will need to complete additional general education
requirements in humanities and social and behavioral sciences
at the institution to which they transfer. The reduced credits
in general education at SSC enable students to complete the
required sequences of art courses during their freshman and
sophomore years, which replicates the course-taking patterns
for art students in the four-year institutions.
3
Students in studio art are required to schedule one hour
per week in the studio (in addition to class time) for each
one hour of credit.
Faculty are available during scheduled office hours to
advise art students about their courses and programs.

Associate in Engineering Science Degree

Baccalaureate engineering programs are highly structured
in order to meet standards established by the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) which are
required for candidates seeking State of Illinois registration
as a professional engineer. To transfer as a junior into
a baccalaureate engineering program, students must
complete a minimum of 62 semester hours to a maximum
of 68 semester hours from the following list, including all
of the essential prerequisite courses. Students with fewer
than 68 semester hours at transfer are unlikely to complete
the baccalaureate degree within two years after transfer.
Since admission is highly competitive, completion of the
courses listed does not guarantee admission. Students
should select courses in consultation with the Transfer
Center to be certain they meet the requirements of the
institution to which they plan to transfer.

degree of their content, rather than
a traditional classroom, to present
course material. Faculty members
are available during office hours to
consult with students.
Web-Required Courses:
Traditional/face-to-face courses
that use mandatory web tools to
supplement traditional
classroom activities.
Hybrid Courses: Hybrid
Courses blend face-to-face
interaction such as in-class
discussions, active group work,
and live lectures with web-based
educational technologies such as
online course cartridges,
assignments, discussion boards,
and other web-assisted learning
tools. Hybrid course models
allow students to fit occasional
class time into their busy
schedule while completing the
remainder of the course work
over the internet.
Online Courses: Instruction
and activities are online.
Students may be required to
complete an orientation prior to
the start of class. Some courses
MAY REQUIRE on-campus/
face-to-face proctored testing.

Microsoft Office (or similar) to
create documents
Communicate using a discussion

board/forum and upload
assignments to a classroom
website
Be comfortable uploading and

downloading saved files

Admissions And Registration Tips:

As you register
1. If you wish to receive transfer credit for college-level work completed at
another college or university, you should provide an official transcript
from that school at least one month before registration. The transcript
may be sent directly from the other college to SSC, or you may bring it
to the Admissions Office in an official envelope sealed by the college
or university.
2. Once a transcript is submitted, it becomes the property of South
Suburban College and its content or copies of its content will not be
released, returned, photocopied or forwarded to another institution
under any circumstances.
3. To change your program code (course of study), you must obtain a
Program Add or Change form from the Registration Area where they
will process your change.
4. In some courses, a grade of C or better is required to advance to
higher levels (for example in English, mathematics and Reading).
5. Courses which are not college level may not count toward graduation,
but may be required based on your Placement Test score.
6. 100% refunds will only be available during the add/drop period of each
course. Refunds of tuition and fees will occur only after the student
has completed a drop through their portal during designated drop
periods. No refunds will be authorized for changes made after the
refund date for the term.
7. Financial Aid Awards (for students already approved) must be paid on
student account by the close of business on the 10th Business Day for
each term. Registrations after this date will require full payment from
the student.
8. If you get a grade of incomplete or I, you must complete all
coursework prior to the midterm of the following semester, or at a
timeline designated by your instructor. If coursework is not completed
by midterm of the following semester, that I will be changed into a
grade of F.

New Health Professions

Program At SSC!
Speech Language
Pathology Assistant
Program (SLPA)
This full time Speech Language Pathology Assistant educational program
prepares individuals to work in a health or educational setting under a
registered speech pathologist with at least two years of professional
experience. Assistants generally work with equipment maintenance, patient
assessment, paperwork and execution of speech pathologist treatment plans.
Courses in this program are structured to provide students with background
information, theories, principles and techniques for implementation of
treatment plans and goals of speech, language, and hearing disordered
individuals. The program supplements classroom instruction with required
supervised clinical observation and practicum experiences in speech
language pathology and audiology. Students will be assigned to off campus
practicum sites for observation of clinical experiences and involvement in
interdisciplinary team approaches to case management.
Pay scale provides data reflecting the actual salaries of SLPAs currently working
in the field. As of December 2010, the lowest reported hourly wage was $14.88
per hour, an annual salary of just under $31,000 if you assume a 40-hour work
week. The highest reported wage was $24.45 per hour, or just under $51,000
per year. The lowest reported salaries were for assistants employed by school
districts, while those working in healthcare settings raked in a bit more.
This program includes an associates degree.
Associates of Applied Science (AAS) 68 Credits

Community Health
Worker Program (CHW)
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who
are trusted members of and/or have an unusually close understanding of the
community they serve. This trusting relationship enables community health
workers to serve as a liaison/link/intermediary between health/social services
and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and
cultural competence of service delivery.
Community health workers also build individual and community capacity by
increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities
such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support
and advocacy. (American Public Health Association, 2008)
Community health workers are dedicated individuals who function along a
continuum ranging from individual and community development to service
delivery promoting community empowerment and social justice. They often
help link people to needed health care information and services.
This program includes a basic certificate, certificate and associates degree.
