OUR PURPOSE
Support of economic growth and prosperity through education was the underlying concept in the develop-
ment of the Community College System. All of the institutions in the North Carolina Community College
System offer technical and occupational training and basic education to prepare adults for the job market.
In addition, each community college offers the first two years of a baccalaureate program.
The mission of the System has been defined in the North Carolina General Statutes (115D-1):
. . . the establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions
throughout the state offering courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of two-
year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs . . .
The law further states that:
. . . The major purpose of each and every institution operating under the provisions of this
Chapter shall be and shall continue to be the offering of vocational and technical education
and training, and of basic, high school level, academic education needed in order to profit from
vocational and technical education, for students who are high school graduates or who are
beyond the compulsory age limit of the public school system and who have left the public
schools. . . .
The statutory mission statement serves to keep the System focused on vocational and technical education.
It also specifically mandates provision of basic academic education for adults through the high school
level. These programs—vocational and technical education, and basic academic education for
adults—have priority status because of their specific place in the statutory mission statement.
The mission directs the System to serve adults and other people who have left the public schools and are
beyond compulsory school age. This definition provides the background for development of policies
governing the institutions' relationship to the public schools.
It is the statutory mission statement from which the "working mission statement" derives. It is the
working mission statement which focuses the Community College System's resources by responding to
contemporary societal issues. Legitimized by the State Board of Community Colleges, the working
mission dynamically mobilizes our abilities to concentrate on current concerns.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 3
The Working Mission Statement
The mission of the North Carolina Community College System is to open the door to high-quality,
accessible educational opportunities that minimize barriers to postsecondary education, maximize student
success, and improve the lives and well-being of individuals by providing:
• Education, training and retraining for the workforce, including basic skills and literacy
education, occupational and pre-baccalaureate programs.
• Support for economic development through services to and in partnership with business and
industry.
• Services to communities and individuals, which improve the quality of life.

HISTORY
In the years following World War II, North Carolina began a rapid shift from an agricultural to an indus-
trial economy. With that change came an awareness that a different kind of education was needed in the
state. People who did not desire a four-year baccalaureate education nevertheless had the need for more
than a high school diploma.
In 1950, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction authorized a study of the need for a system of tax-
supported community colleges. The resulting report, by Dr. Allan S. Hurlburt, was published in 1952. It
proposed a plan for development of state-supported community colleges. In 1957, the General Assembly
adopted the first Community College Act and provided funding for community colleges.
The same (1957) General Assembly also provided funding to initiate a statewide system of industrial
education centers. These centers were to train adults and selected high school students in skills needed by
industry. By 1961, there were five public junior colleges emphasizing arts and sciences and seven
industrial education centers focusing on technical and vocational education.
The need to coordinate these two post-high school education systems led Governor Terry Sanford to
appoint the Governor's Commission on Education Beyond the High School (Irving Carlyle, chair). In
1962, this commission recommended that the two types of institutions be brought into one
administrative organization under the State Board of Education and local boards of trustees. The result-
ing unified Community College System would provide comprehensive post-high school education.
In May 1963, the General Assembly, in line with the Carlyle Commission report, enacted G.S. 115A (later
changed to 115D), which provided for the establishment of a Department of Community Colleges under
the State Board of Education and for the administration of institutions in the Community College System.
There were then 20 industrial education centers, six community colleges (three of which became four-
year schools in 1963), and five extension units.
By 1966, there were 43 institutions with 28,250 full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments. In 1969, there
were 54 institutions with 59,329 FTE. The System had grown rapidly, exceeding ten percent annually
nearly every year until the late 1970s. In 1974–75, growth reached the 33 percent mark. The System
continues to grow in enrollments nearly every year, but by much more modest margins. The number of
colleges has not increased since Brunswick Community College became the 58th in 1979.
The original legislation placed the Community College System under the purview of the State Board of
Education and created a State Department of Community Colleges. In the early years of the System, the
State Board of Education Chair was Dallas Herring; David Bruton succeeded him in 1977.
In 1979, the General Assembly changed the state control of the System. Provision was made for a
separate State Board of Community Colleges. The Board was appointed and organized in 1980, and met
several times with the State Board of Education. The new Board assumed full responsibility for the
System on January 1, 1981. The Board's first chairperson was Duke Power company executive Carl
Horn. He was succeeded in 1983 by John A. Forlines, president of the Bank of Granite and then William
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 5
F. Simpson in 1989. In 1993, Lt. Governor Dennis A. Wicker was elected chair and served in this capac-
ity until July of 1999. He was succeeded by retired community college president Dr. G. Herman Porter.
In July 2001, Mr. James J. Woody was elected chair. The Community College System Office has had six
presidents: I. E. Ready (1963–1970), Ben E. Fountain, Jr. (1971–1978), Larry J. Blake (1979–1982),
Robert W. Scott (1983–1994), Lloyd V. Hackley (1995–1997), and H. Martin Lancaster (July 1997–
present). Charles R. Holloman served in an acting capacity from
September 1978 to July 1979.
In 1988, the North Carolina Community College System celebrated its 25th anniversary with a highly
successful series of events, including a spectacular concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC,
featuring Visiting Artists from the colleges. For the celebration of its 40th anniversary in 2003, the
system, with the support of the North Carolina Community Colleges Foundation, created the W. Dallas
Herring Leadership Development Institute.
In November of 1987, the State Board established the Commission on the Future of the North
Carolina Community College System. The 23-member, blue ribbon panel of business, civic and educa-
tion leaders was charged with establishing a systemwide agenda for policy and action over the next 25
years. The resulting Commission on the Future report, released in 1989, outlined 33 recommendations
for action and change. These recommendations for action and change have served as the foundation of
the System planning process since 1989. The influence of the Commission on the Future report is evident
in the 2003–2005 System Strategic Plan goals and objectives.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 6
PROGRAMS
The North Carolina Community College System offers a comprehensive range of educational programs to
meet the needs of local communities for workforce preparedness and higher academic education, basic
educational skills, job retraining, personal growth and development, and community and economic
development. These programs are organized under several broad categories.
Curriculum programs are made up of credit courses leading to certificates, diplomas, or associate degrees,
which range in length from one semester to two years. Most of the programs offered within the Commu-
nity College System are designed to prepare individuals for entry level technical positions in business and
industry with an associate of applied science degree. Each college also offers credit courses in the arts
and sciences leading to an associate degree designed for transfer at the junior level into a senior college
or university. Developmental education courses are available for students who need to improve their
skills so that they can perform at the level required for college transfer, certificate, diploma and associate
degree programs. Developmental education programs consist of courses and support services which
include, but are not limited to, diagnostic assessment and placement, tutoring, advising, and writing
assistance. These courses do not earn credit toward a degree, diploma or certificate but provide the
student with courses for academic readiness.
Another category of programs is continuing education. These non-credit courses may be occupational,
academic, or avocational in nature. Some are offered as a categorically-funded community service.
Others are designed to upgrade occupational skills and are funded through enrollment driven formulas
(see Finance). Each of the colleges also offers instruction in basic academic skills which include Adult
Basic Education (K–8 basic literacy skills), Adult High School and GED programs (9–12 academic
preparation), Compensatory Education, and English as a Second Lanaguage (ESL).
Because of the unique character of community colleges, student services programs play an especially
important role in the life of the colleges. Students receive academic, personal and career counseling
services, special assessment and placement assistance, help in transition to work and job development,
and a variety of other services which are essential to the success of the instructional programs.
Finally, there is a broad effort in specialized programming, often targeting the economic development of
the community. The New and Expanding Industry Program, the Focused Industrial Training Centers, and
the Small Business Center Network all provide direct consulting and custom training to business and
industry to promote their success. The Human Resources Development and Job Training Partnership Act
Programs provide services and training specifically targeted to the unemployed and disadvantaged. A
variety of other programs connects the colleges uniquely to the needs and aspirations of their communi-
ties.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 7
GOVERNANCE
The State of North Carolina has assigned the 58 public community colleges and the N.C. Center for
Applied Textile Technology to the State Board of Community Colleges. The Board has full authority to
adopt all policies, regulations and standards it may deem necessary for operation of the System. The
North Carolina Community College System Office serves as a resource agency and an administrative arm
of the State Board. In 1999, the General Assembly officially changed the System Office name from the
Department of Community Colleges to the North Carolina Community College System Office.
The State Board is responsible solely for the Community College System and is not under the domain of
any other board or commission. Members of the State Board are selected by the Governor and the
General Assembly. Members represent business, industry, education, and government.
The Board consists of 21 members. The Lieutenant Governor and the State Treasurer are ex officio
members. The Governor appoints 10 members, four from the state at large and one from each of the six
trustee regions. Four are elected by the Senate and four more by the House. The president or vice
president of the North Carolina Comprehensive Community College Student Government Association
serves as an ex officio member. Terms are staggered and expire every odd-numbered year. No person
may be appointed or elected to more than two consecutive terms of six years.
The Board meets at least ten times per year to evaluate the recommendations of the System Office, to set
policy for the System, and to oversee its operation. Members elect a board chair to serve as the Board's
leader, spokesperson, and presiding officer. The Chair is responsible for projecting the public image of
the Board and providing positive leadership.
The System Office, headed by the System President, provides state-level administration and leadership of
the Community College System under the direction of the State Board of Community Colleges.
The State Board has three major functions: (1) equitable distribution of funds and fiscal accountability,
(2) establishing and maintaining state priorities, and (3) educational program approval and accountability.
Through the exercise of its authority in these areas, the State Board can recommit the System to existing
policies or alter the direction of the System through changes in policy.
As part of its administrative function, the System Office provides support services for the various pro-
gram offerings such as nursing, agriculture, and business. The System President's staff assists staff at the
colleges by helping to develop and implement curriculums and other programs and by providing technical
assistance in a range of areas. The System Office provides other services for the System that would be
difficult for an individual institution to initiate, such as statewide data
collection.
At the local level, each of the colleges operates under a board of trustees. Each 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 executive board of the student body serves as an ex officio member. Local board mem-
bers are appointed for staggered four-year terms. Four members each are elected by the local school
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 8
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, may be made by
the president. All personnel employed at the colleges are employees of the college and not of the State of
North Carolina.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 9
FUNDING
By law, the State Board of Community Colleges is responsible for providing funds to meet the financial
needs of the colleges in accordance with the policies and regulations of the Board. The State Board has
delegated authority to the local trustees to disburse the funds within these policies and regulations.
Sources of funding include state, federal, and local government as well as tuition. For 2004–05 the
tuition rate is $38.00 per credit hour and $608.00 maximum tuition charge per semester for in-state
students. For out-of-state students, the tuition is $211.00 per credit hour and $3,376.00 maximum charge
per semester.
State funds may be used by community colleges for current operating expenses, equipment, library books,
acquisition of land and capital construction.
Local funds must be used for operating and maintaining facilities or to supplement any state budget item.
The percentages of funding origination for 2004–05 are as follows:
State................. 66.5%
Local ............... 12.4%
Tuition ............. 14.8%
Federal .............. 2.6%
Other ................. 3.7%
These funds are deposited into the State Treasury. The largest portion is allocated to the colleges based
on a formula adopted by the State Board. This formula is stated in Section 2D.0300 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (APA). Other funds are appropriated by the legislature and federal government for
special purposes.
The State Board allocates the funds to the local boards of trustees which are responsible for using these
funds in accordance with State Board policies and state and federal laws and regulations.
It is the intent of the System to minimize the out-of-pocket expense to students. For that reason, tuition is
kept as low as possible. In addition, state and federal aid is provided by grants, loans, and scholarships.
Many private companies have established scholarship funds at the local and state level.
The Community College System Office audits the enrollment records of the colleges, and the State
Auditor's office audits their financial records.
North Carolina's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. Unless otherwise specified, all funds not ex-
pended during that period revert to the general treasury and are available to the Legislature for reappro-
priation.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 10
THE NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOUNDATION, INC.
The Need
The System relies primarily on state, local, and federal governmental units and tuition/fees for both
operating and capital investment funds. In the early years of the System's history, traditional funding
sources were adequate. During the 1970s and 1980s, increased competition for state and local funds,
inflation, the need to update programs and equipment, and demographic changes eroded the System's
financial base of support.
As the System matured, all 58 community colleges established private foundations (503)(c)(3) for the
purpose of raising funds from private sources to support a variety of activities and local projects.
The Community College System also realized a need to attract support from large companies and corpo-
rations whose presence in North Carolina is pervasive and not related to any particular college. Thus, the
NCCCF was established as an avenue to large donors who depend on the Community College System for
many of their employees. It is important to note that the NCCCF is not a competitor with local institu-
tional foundations. Rather it is a resource to be used in increasing local support. After several years of
inactivity, the Foundation was reorganized in 1998 under the leadership of a Board of Directors recruited
from the state's top business, government, and education leaders.
The Foundation Purposes
The North Carolina Community Colleges Foundation, Inc. was chartered on September 11, 1986 as a
nonprofit charitable corporation and has a 501(c)(3) designation by the Internal Revenue Service. A
board of directors manages the foundation.
The purposes of the foundation are to:
• Support the mission of the Community College System and to foster and promote the growth,
progress, and general welfare of the System.
• Support programs, services, and activities of the Community College System which promote
the mission of the System.
• Support and promote excellence in administration and instruction throughout the System.
• Foster quality in programs and encourage research to support long-range planning in the
System.
• Provide an alternative vehicle for contributions of funds to support programs, services, and
activities that are not being funded adequately through traditional resources.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 11
• Broaden the base of the Community College System's support.
• Lend support and prestige to fund-raising efforts of the institutions in the System.
• Communicate to the public the System's mission and responsiveness to local needs.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I—PAGE 12
SERVICE AREA ASSIGNMENTS
Philosophy
Service areas were established in order to control the offering of courses by a community college in
specific geographic areas. The assignments do not regulate or establish attendance areas. Citizens may
enroll in any course at any college they choose.
Purpose
The purpose of service area assignments is to assign specific geographic areas for all colleges, thereby
assigning the authority and responsibility for providing courses in a county other than
the one in which the college is located. The assignments also include a coordination procedure, whereby
a college may offer courses in another college's service area when there is mutual consent and written
agreement (Section 2C.0100, North Carolina Administrative Code).

STATEWIDE PLAN
On July 19, 2002, the State Board of Community Colleges adopted the North Carolina Community
College System 2003-2005 Strategic Plan. In addition to being used in the development of the
2003-2005 biennial budget request, the plan sets the strategic direction for the System; communicates the
mission, goals and objectives of the System; and enhances the System’s ability to achieve the commit-
ment and support of major stakeholders.
The System has adopted a two-year planning cycle, with continuous review and evaluation during the
cycle. A System Planning Council, composed of State Board of Community College members, local
college trustees, college presidents, deans and other college representatives and System Office staff, are
responsible for the development of goals and objectives. The process involves input from major stake-
holders across the state. The plan undergoes extensive review prior to being presented to the State Board
for final adoption.

College-Level Planning
Each community college is responsible for developing an annual institutional effectiveness plan that
complies with requirements established by the North Carolina General Assembly, the State Board of
Community Colleges, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). As part of the local
planning process, colleges are expected to address goals and objectives in the System’s 2003-2005
Strategic Plan, where appropriate. The System Office monitors college-level planning as part of the
annual educational program audit process.
More information on the institutional effectiveness plan guidelines can be found on the System Office
Web site at the following URL:
http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/Keith_Brown/planning/plangud.htm.
The Commission on Colleges (COC) new Principles of Accreditation mandates that all colleges seeking
Reaffirmation of Accreditation from SACS must engage in developing a Quality Enhancement Plan
(QEP). COC expects the QEP to be a course of action for institutional improvement that addresses an
issue critical to enhancing educational quality and directly related to student learning. Core Requirement
2.12 stipulates that the QEP will be part of an ongoing planning and evaluation process. Moreover, Core
Requirement 2.5 requires colleges to “engage in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based
planning and evaluation process … that (a) results in continuing improvement and (b) demonstrates that
the institution is effectively accomplishing its mission.”
More information on SACS new Principles/Philosophy of Accreditation, Core Requirements and Com-
prehensive Standards is located at http://www.sacscoc.org. There is also information about SACS avail-
able on the System Office Web site at the following URL: http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/SACS/

Critical Success Factors
The State Board of Community Colleges has adopted critical success factors to measure the performance
of the System. The five factors were developed by the System Planning Council and include System and,
where available, institutional level data. The five factors currently in use are: Core Indicators of Student
Success; Workforce Development; Diverse Populations Learning Needs; Resources; and Technology.
Data are being collected on 42 measures of progress toward success as indicated by the factors. An initial
report, presenting five years of data, was presented to the State Board of Community Colleges and the
General Assembly in April 1990.
The current Critical Success Factors report can be found at the following URL:

CURRICULUM PROGRAMS
The North Carolina Community College System offerings exceed twenty-five hundred curriculum
programs under more than two hundred ninety curriculum titles. Programs are offered at the certificate,
diploma and the associate of applied science degree levels.
Certificate programs range from 12 to 18 semester hour credits and can usually be completed within one
semester for a full-time student. Associate degree level courses within a certificate program may also be
applied toward a diploma or an associate of applied science degree.
Diploma programs range from 36 to 48 semester hour credits and can usually be completed within two
semesters and one summer term for a full-time student. Associate degree level courses within a diploma
program may also be applied toward an associate of applied science degree.
Most curriculum programs lead to an associate of applied science degree. Associate of applied science
degree programs range from 64 to 76 semester hour credits. A full-time student can typically complete
one of these programs within two years. In addition to technical/major course work, associate of applied
science degree programs require a minimum of 15 semester hour credits of general education. General
education requirements include course work in communications, humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral
sciences and natural sciences/mathematics.
New programs are established as a response to local and regional labor market needs and student demand.
Each program is approved by the State Board of Community Colleges following a regular curriculum
approval process for applications submitted by individual community colleges. Curriculums are designed
and developed by the applying college with input from employers and advisory committee members.
Many programs being offered are of regional interest and may be offered by only one or a small number
of colleges within the System.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II—PAGE 22
Associate in Arts, Associate in Fine Arts, and Associate in Science
Community colleges offer college transfer programs through the associate in arts, associate in fine arts,
and associate in science degrees. The associate in arts, associate in fine arts, and the associate in science
programs are part of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). This agreement addresses the
transfer of students between institutions in the North Carolina Community College System and the
constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina.
Associate in General Education
General education programs are designed for individuals wishing to broaden their education, with empha-
sis on personal interest, growth and development. The two-year general education program provides
students opportunities to study English, literature, fine arts, philosophy, social science, and science and
mathematics at the college level. All courses in the program are college-level courses. Many of the
courses are equivalent to college transfer courses; however, the program is not principally designed for
college transfer. The associate in general education degree is offered by 43 of the colleges.

BASIC SKILLS
The mission of the Basic Skills program is 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, and
assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education. The system provides educational oppor-
tunities for adults to improve their reading, writing, mathematics, and communication skills through five
major program components.
Adult Basic Education (ABE)—A program of instruction designed for adults who lack competence in
reading, writing, speaking, problem solving, or computation at a level necessary to function in society, on
a job or in the family.
General Educational Development (GED)—A program of instruction designed to prepare adult stu-
dents to pass the GED tests that lead to a high school diploma equivalency.
Adult High School (AHS)—A program of instruction offered cooperatively with local public school
systems to help adults earn an Adult High School Diploma.
English Literacy/English as a Second Language (ESL)—A program of instruction designed to help
adults who have limited English proficiency achieve competence in the English language.
Compensatory Education (CED)—A program to compensate adults with mental retardation who have
not had an education or who have received an inadequate one. The program requires specialized diagno-
sis and consists of a specially designed curriculum.
The main emphasis of the Basic Skills program is helping all individuals gain the competencies and skills
they need to function effectively in society; therefore, even students who have a high school diploma may
enroll in Basic Skills. Students with a high school diploma are allowed to enroll in Adult Basic Education
(ABE) if their skills are below high school level. A limited number of adults who score at the high
school level may also be served, especially in workplace or family literacy classes. HSG* (High School
Graduate) is the designation for students with a high school diploma who enroll in AHS or GED pro-
grams. Students must be placed in these programs by a placement test.

CARL D. PERKINS VOCATIONAL AND
TECHNICAL EDUCATION ACT OF 1998
The purpose of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act is to make the United States
more competitive in the world economy by developing more fully the academic, vocational and technical
skills of students who enroll in vocational and technical education programs. This is achieved through
concentrating resources on improving educational programs and services that lead to academic and occu-
pational skill competencies needed to work in a technologically advanced society.
This Act provides federal resources to support programs and activities that strengthen student skills,
promote integration of academic and vocational instruction, expand the use of technology, provide profes-
sional development, and increase opportunities for special populations students.
Key elements of the Act:
• Requires 85% of the available funds be allocated to local community colleges by a formula
based upon the number of Pell Grant recipients in a college as a percentage of such recipients
in the System.
• Places major emphasis on providing strong academic and vocational competencies, integrating
instruction, providing professional development, and expanding the use of technology in the
classroom.
• Maintains emphasis on providing services for students who are members of a special popula-
tion (persons with disabilities, economically disadvantaged persons, individuals preparing
for non-traditional training and employment, single parents, displaced homemakers, and
individuals with other barriers to educational achievement including individuals with limited
English proficiency).
• Provides greater accountability by requiring the measurement of student achievement against
established core indicators of performance.
• Maintains funding for Tech Prep through Title II of the Act. A Tech Prep program combines
two years of secondary education with a minimum of two years postsecondary education in a
nonduplicative, sequential course of study. The program integrates academic and vocational
instruction, utilizes work-based learning, builds student competence in math, science, reading,
writing, communications, economics, and workplace skills, and leads to an associate or
baccalaureate degree, postsecondary certificate, and/or placement in appropriate employment
or further education.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Community service programs are designed to provide courses, seminars and activities that (1) contribute
to the community’s overall cultural, civic and intellectual growth; and (2) assist adults in the development
of new personal or leisure skills or the upgrading of existing ones.
Community Service Courses—Community Service courses consist of single courses, each complete in
itself, that focus on an individual’s personal or leisure needs.
Cultural and Civic Activities—The cultural and civic, and intellectual growth component of this pro-
gram meets community needs through lecture and concert series, art shows, the use of college facilities by
community groups, providing speakers to community organizations, and providing visiting artist activities
for college communities. Visiting artists may be provided an opportunity to work as artists in residence to
enhance local arts resources and promote the various visual, performing and literary arts in communities
throughout North Carolina.
Each college must address community service programs in the colleges’ institutional effectiveness plan,
which is submitted annually to the System Office.

Community College Education in North Carolina's Correctional Facilities
In September 1994, the State Board adopted “A Plan for Appropriate Community College Education in
North Carolina's Correctional Facilities” (now called the Correctional Education Plan or CEP). The plan
addressed the specific legislative concerns of high inmate mobility and low student completion rates.
The cornerstone of the CEP is the matrix classification system, a joint North Carolina Community
College System/Department of Correction initiative designed to increase student completion rates by
ensuring that course and program lengths are appropriate for the inmate population at any given prison
unit.
Under the matrix system, the Department of Correction assigns each unit to one of five matrix categories
which define educational programming options at the units. Local college and prison officials use a
prison's matrix category to guide course planning. The State Board of Community Colleges and DOC
officials use the matrix categories as the first criterion when considering course approvals for a correc-
tional facility.
Correctional education is defined as follows:
Correctional education provided through the NCCCS shall be for the purpose of providing appropriate
basic skills, occupational continuing education, and vocational, technical and post-secondary academic
education that enables inmates to enhance and maintain their personal growth and development in order
that they function effectively in prison and upon returning to the community. All courses and programs
provided through the NCCCS shall be appropriate to these purposes and shall not be designed for popula-
tion control, therapy, recreation, production processes of the enterprise operations of the correctional
facility, or other purposes which may be legitimate objectives of DOC program efforts.

Advantages of Distance Learning Technologies
These technologies enable community colleges to:
• Share courses among themselves.
• Increase college access to students.
• Participate in interactive telemeetings, thereby saving on travel expenses.
• Share expertise in order to improve productivity.
• Cooperate in the use of facilities and equipment.
• Realize savings through the “wholesale” purchase of licenses for programs and services.
• Offer computer-based courses that are not time-bound or place-bound.
• Complement traditional courses with online resources.
• Offer "hybrid" courses that blend traditional instruction with distance learning
technology—resulting in reduced face-to-face hours and classroom space requirements.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II—PAGE 30
Centralized Purchase of Programming and Services—Telecourses
The North Carolina Community College System has developed a cost-effective process to centralize or
“wholesale” the purchase and licensing of telecourses produced by PBS and other producers. This results
in a savings of 50 to 65 percent compared to what the cost would be if each college purchased its own
licenses.
Interactive Video—The N. C. Integrated Information Network
Often called the N. C. Information Highway (NCIH), the N. C. Integrated Information Network (NCIIN),
provides two-way video and data connectivity for 39 community colleges and the System Office. The
total number of sites is 47, because some colleges have more than one site on the same campus or a site at
a satellite campus. The map on page 33 identifies the location of the community colleges that have
NCIIN video sites in each county.
Colleges that do not have NCIIN interactive video sites are connected to the internet via "Anchor Net,"
which connects them to the internet at T-1 speed. This network provides high-speed data access and the
ability to run interactive video sessions using the H.323 video protocol. Community colleges throughout
the state have the ability to connect to other colleges using a variety of communications protocols and
networks, including the NCIH network, NC-REN (North Carolina Research and Education Network), and
private H.323 (video over IP) networks.
The Virtual Learning Community—Web-based Courses
The North Carolina Community College System Virtual Learning Community (VLC) is based on a
collaborative model of colleges working jointly to provide quality instruction through Web-based technol-
ogy. The VLC Library consists of Internet-based courses developed collaboratively by faculty members
using a model that ensures both quality and flexibility while limiting course duplication. The courses are
based on a course template design model that includes competencies and content but allows flexibility in
tailoring the courses to meet local needs. Any member college may access and adapt any VLC course
following the same policies that govern the Common Course Library course offerings.
The ITFS Project
When completed, the ITFS network will provide broadband wireless connectivity to the Internet for 39
community colleges. This network will provide a means of delivering the courses of the Virtual Learning
Community. Plans are being made to provide wireless connectivity for the remaining colleges utilizing
other transmission modes.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II—PAGE 31
The National Guard Project
The North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) and the North Carolina Community College System have a
distance learning partnership that began in 1999. This partnership facilitates the NCNG’s goal of having
all of their personnel in the state, both military and civilian, within easy driving distance of a distance
learning or telecommunications classroom. Rather than placing these facilities in NCNG Armories, they
have chosen to place them in community colleges where the facilities can be used by the community
colleges and other local, state, and federal agencies. The NCNG supplies state of the art video and
computer equipment, installation, and any needed room renovations. There are nine such facilities in
community colleges. There will be a National Guard network over which most of their military training
will be delivered by military personnel. Career enhancement training, for both military and civilian
personnel of the NCNG, will be done over the state network (NCIIN). As soon as security issues can be
solved, the two networks can be interconnected.
N. C. Distance Learning Alliance Conference
The N.C. Distance Learning Alliance Conference is now in its tenth year. Originally called the NC
Community College Distance Learning Conference, the conference merged with several related distance
learning organizations to emerge as a K-20 resource for distance learning instructors, staff, and adminis-
trators.
Staff from community colleges and the System Office continue to assist the Distance Learning Alliance’s
leadership in planning and implementation. The Distance Learning Alliance represents public schools,
community colleges, and public and private colleges and universities. The conference is a professional
development activity that focuses on the utilization of all telecommunications or information technologies
as a means of enhancing instructional services to the citizens of North Carolina.
The 2005 N.C. Distance Learning Alliance Conference will be held at Fayetteville Technical Community
College March 9 – 11. Information regarding the conference can be found at the following URL:
http://www.dlalliance.org.
Production of Programming
Teleconferences or telemeetings are produced and delivered to all 58 community colleges, either by the
NCIIN or satellite. In addition, new services from the North Carolina Office of Information Technology
Service will complement and expand access to videoconferencing technology. The first service makes
possible digitizing and streaming of live teleconferences to anyone with a PC across the state or nation. A
second service provides archiving of those digitized teleconferences enabling viewing of a teleconference
on demand. A third service provides "collaboration" applications by which instructors or event origina-
tors can either share their computer desktops and associated PC applications with (up to) ten individuals
or broadcast to hundreds.

NCCCS Strategic Distance Learning Plan
In July 2003, System Office staff began to develop a system wide strategic plan in reaction to the explo-
sive growth of distance learning enrollment at North Carolina community colleges. Enrollment projec-
tions, based on four previous years of growth consistently over 30% in distance learning courses, sug-
gested immediate need for effective planning efforts to target distance learning expansion and support for
the entire system.
The Plan was also needed to articulate a common vision and set of goals and objectives to facilitate the
efforts of hundreds of distance learning instructors, support staff, and administrators. The resulting Plan
involved the participation of community college Presidents, System Office staff, and dozens of commu-
nity college personnel.
The Vision for distance education within the North Carolina Community College System:
The North Carolina Community College System will assist its colleges in serving students
who would otherwise be unserved, expanding learning opportunities, making instruction
accessible, and using technology to supplement classroom instruction.
The Virtual Learning Community, supported by Learning Technology Systems, will provide
hardware, software, content, and training to administrators and faculty within the North
Carolina Community College System for their use in providing their students with Web-
based courses, telecourses, interactive video courses, and hybrid courses.
This plan expands upon the concepts of the Virtual Learning Community to include: Web-based course
development; telecourse acquisition and publishing; interactive video course brokering; hybrid course
development; hybrid course faculty training; and consortium purchasing and resource sharing.
The NCCCS Strategic Distance Learning Plan was approved by the North Carolina Community College
Presidents’ Association, January 2004 and the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges,
February 2004. It is found at the following URL:

FIRE AND RESCUE TRAINING SERVICES
In 2003–04 the North Carolina Community College System provided training to 148,070 students who
serve as both paid and volunteer fire fighters and members of rescue squads in the state. This training
serves to improve the fire fighters’ skills and education in areas such as basic firefighting and rescue to
advanced management training. Service certification is provided in the areas of basic firefighting skills,
public education, driver–operator, hazardous materials, arson investigation, rescue, fire officer, and
instructional techniques. Several programs are now offered in specialty areas such as advanced rescue
techniques, incident command, leadership and management training.
Training is delivered in local fire departments and community colleges. Classes are conducted during the
day, evenings and on weekends to meet varying student needs. Over thirty regional training seminars
were offered by various community colleges where classes are provided during a weekend for the accessi-
bility of volunteer fire and rescue personnel.
All training is provided without fees to members of local fire departments and rescue squads.

FOCUSED INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
North Carolina, not unlike a significant number of states throughout the nation, is facing a serious chal-
lenge, now and in the future, to rebuild and strengthen its business and industrial economies. The job
losses and plant closures that the State’s textile, furniture, tobacco, and other manufacturing industries
have experienced are creating and will continue to create a devastating effect on the overall economy.
As the State’s remaining businesses and industries strive to survive, work to recover, and take advantage
of any new or evolving technology many of them are looking to the North Carolina Community College
System for assistance in training and/or retraining their workers in the new or evolving technologies; this
training is critical in order for North Carolina’s industries to remain competitive domestically and interna-
tionally. The Focused Industrial Training (FIT) Program is designed to respond and assist in fulfilling
the training requirements.
Traditionally, FIT projects and training programs have been primarily directed toward veteran or incum-
bent workers in manufacturing industries who desire or need to renew their skills and technical knowl-
edge; training assistance is jointly planned by a sponsoring community college and the participating
industry to assure that the activities are focused on the reality of the identified needs. Instruction is
customized to focus on the specific training needs and may consist of small classes that cannot be facili-
tated with regular program funds.
This program was initiated in the l980s and has grown for nearly a quarter of a century to a level of
activity serving an annual average of 697 companies and 11,265 North Carolina employees; these statis-
tics are based upon Focused Industrial Training Annual Evaluation Report data from 1997-1998 through
2003-2004.
In 2003-2004 the System had 37 FIT Centers and four Consortiums that were awarded an annual allot-
ment of funds averaging $80,327. Allotments ranging from $5,000 to $12,500 were also distributed to
colleges that did not have a designated FIT Center. The System Office maintains a small reserve “Bal-
ance-Of-State” Fund during the fiscal year that may be allotted for unmet training needs when a college
exhausts all of its regular FIT budget. FIT Centers are staffed with a director who works closely with
local business and industry personnel in reviewing and assessing specific training needs and then devel-
ops training programs customized or tailored to those needs. The director conducts and analyzes surveys
within companies, designs and develops pre- and post- methods to evaluate the skills of the workers,
determines skill levels and knowledge content of the jobs, organizes the content into a learning sequence
and then jointly plans training that cannot be addressed through other existing occupational programs.

BIONETWORK
BioNetwork is a new statewide NCCCS initiative with the management team located within the Eco-
nomic and Workforce Development Division. BioNetwork is the system-wide strategy for meeting the
specialized workforce development needs of the growing biomanufacturing and pharmaceutical industry
in North Carolina. In August 2003, the North Carolina Community College System along with the
University of North Carolina (UNC), and the North Carolina Biosciences Organization (NC BIO) secured
more than $60 million in funding from the Golden LEAF Foundation and industry to launch a major
biotechnology training and education initiative. Working together as the North Carolina
Biomanufacturing and Pharmaceutical Training Consortium (BPTC), UNC and NCCCS will provide an
integrated system of workforce training and educational opportunities to prepare North Carolina’s
workforce for employment in the biomanufacturing, pharmaceutical, and related industries.
BioNetwork’s portion was $8.7 million of startup funding for early implementation.
The availability of a qualified, skilled workforce is one of the most critical factors biomanufacturing
companies consider in deciding where to locate or expand. Manufacturers place more emphasis on an
area’s entry and mid-level workforce, which is much less mobile, than the more advanced positions that
can be recruited from out of state. North Carolina’s displaced workers from manufacturing and agricul-
ture already have a proven work ethic and experience in the workforce. They are a unique resource for
biotechnology/life science manufacturing. BioNetwork provides a mechanism to react swiftly to market
demands by deploying expertise, curricula, and equipment/facility enhancement resources directly to
local community colleges necessary for workforce education and training.
BioNetwork networks community colleges across North Carolina offering specialized biotechnology
related training sharing curricula, innovations, information, and resources.
BioNetwork Economic Impact for North Carolina
• Attraction, retention and expansion of biotechnology businesses.
• Increased numbers of trained workers for this sector and increased numbers of students finding
employment in this sector.
• Increased numbers of incumbent workers receiving continuing education and increased training/
services to companies.
• Increased employment in tobacco dependent and economically distressed counties.
• Increased minority and economically disadvantaged students into the sector by recruiting, training
and educating them locally.
• Economic advantages to the state by expanding the number of geographic areas into which biotech-
nology enterprises can locate.
• Customized incumbent worker continuing education for all levels of positions in biomanufacturing
companies including production directors, engineers, scientists and production level employees, in
addition to certificate, diploma and associate degree programs.
• Flexible and responsive training of students and incumbent workers provided by the mobile lab.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II—PAGE 37
The BioNetwork Primary Goals Are To:
• Act as a primary economic development catalyst
• Provide a continuous pipeline of trained new workers
• Give dislocated workers new skills and allow career-changers to enter the biotechnology field
• Upgrade skills of incumbent workers
• Position the NCCCS to become the national leader in biotechnology workforce development

HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Human Resources Development (HRD) program provides skill assessment services, employability
skills training, and career development counseling to unemployed and underemployed adults. Its courses
address six core components: (1) assessment of an individual’s assets and limitations; (2) development of
a positive self-concept; (3) development of employability skills; (4) development of communication
skills; (5) development of problem-solving skills; and (6) awareness of the impact of information technol-
ogy in the workplace.
The goals of the program are to enhance and develop participants’ employability skills; assist participants
in obtaining meaningful employment and/or training opportunities; increase participants’ economic self-
sufficiency; and reduce participants’ dependency on government assistance benefits—welfare, food
stamps, and unemployment insurance.
Since its inception, HRD Programs have always been responsive to the changing needs and demographics
of individuals seeking workforce development training. Over the past years the unemployment rate in
North Carolina has ranged from 7.0 to 9.0. This has greatly affected the enrollment in HRD. Over the
last three years, HRD’s enrollment has almost doubled, increasing from 46,970 to 63,573 (40%). This
increase in numbers is due partly to the increased number of dislocated workers affected by plant closing
and layoffs.
Historically, HRD statistics show that 65 percent of people who enrolled in HRD were unemployed.
Demographics show that most individuals enrolled in HRD were between the ages of 25-55, typically
unemployed (35%), and did not have a high school credential. HRD staff reported that individuals enroll
in this program because they need basic job seeking/keeping skills, guidance to deal with the emotional
stress and financial obstacles associated with being unemployed, and additional training to upgrade their
academic and technical skills to be competitive in the job market.
In response to these needs, HRD programs offer short-term training classes, usually 4 – 10 hours; in
addition to their traditional employability skills courses that are offered from 40 – 96 hours. Course
offerings include topics such as: “Quick” Job Search Workshops, Surviving a Layoff, Career Assessment
and Planning, Overcoming Barriers to Employment, and Computer Literacy for the Workplace. HRD
programs continue to link their traditional employability skills training courses with Occupational Exten-
sion courses/programs in areas such as Clerical Skills, Customer Service, Health-related Occupations,
Construction, and Transportation. Also, for students who cannot attend the traditional offerings, a
number of HRD programs have established HRD Employability Labs where instruction is designed to be
self-directed, self-paced, and structured on an open-entry, open-exit basis to meet the customized needs of
individuals.

IN-PLANT TRAINING PROGRAM
The In-Plant Training Program enables the colleges to assist manufacturing, service, and/or governmental
organizations with in-service training of their employees. This occupational extension training includes
involvement in five areas: industry, business, health, government and agriculture. Training occurs in the
facilities or at the site in which an organization normally operates and at the employee’s assigned work
station. This method of delivering skills training works very well for companies where it is not feasible to
duplicate the training environment in an institutional setting.
Production industries continue to benefit most from in-plant training. On-the-job training continues to be
utilized in all sectors for training of new hires and in the retraining of veteran workers.

NEW AND EXPANDING INDUSTRIES TRAINING
Attracting and training a skilled and motivated workforce—it’s the number one concern most companies
face when starting or expanding a business site. No educational system has more experience helping
companies with these issues than the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). North
Carolina pioneered free, customized job training for new and expanding businesses in 1958, and contin-
ues to be one of the nation’s most recognized state customized job training services. The NEIT Program’s
value and importance in the economic recovery and development of North Carolina is of paramount
importance to the state’s economic vitality.
With decades of experience, the community colleges have provided free customized training to literally
thousands of new and expanding companies, meeting a wide variety of training needs. Services are made
available to companies that create 12 or more new production-related jobs in any one community in North
Carolina during a one-year period over and above their previous three-year maximum employment level.
The extent of services provided is based on the number of new jobs created, their skill levels, and the
level of total capital investment.
Companies that are eligible for new and expanding industry programs include manufacturing, technology-
intensive (ex: software, biotech), regional or national warehousing or distribution centers, customer
service or data processing services, and air courier services. Training services provided to these compa-
nies include instructors and training program development, video and other customized media programs,
instructor travel costs and other training-related expenditures such as temporary training facilities,
equipment, materials, and supplies.
In 2003-04, North Carolina Community Colleges provided free customized training to 121 new and
expanding companies in the state and trained 10,117 North Carolinians with the skills necessary for
successful new employment, economic recovery and growth.

OCCUPATIONAL CONTINUING EDUCATION
In North Carolina one strategy for meeting the challenge to provide a skilled workforce is through the
community college system’s workforce continuing education training programs. These programs are a
primary tool for providing skill development opportunities for North Carolina’s workforce. Short-term
skill training courses are offered at each of the community colleges across the state to train, retrain, and
upgrade individuals for current or future job skills.
Flexible Low-Cost Offerings—Courses can be offered on demand and customized for specific training
needs and are often the first response for meeting critical training needs in communities. Colleges partner
with businesses, industry and public/private agencies to develop and implement immediate training to
address retraining for dislocated workers, public safety and disaster readiness needs and public health-
related training. Course fees remain relatively low. The maximum fee for any course is currently $65.
• Short-term occupational training or retraining is available statewide.
• Skill training courses are offered at a low cost of $50 to $65.
• There are over 1,400 approved courses—recent course additions include Assessment and
Skills Training for Business and Industry, Structured Cabling Systems, Heavy Equipment
Operations, and Environmental Response Training.
Training Demand—2003-04
College workforce continuing education enrollments reached 588,731* in 2003-04. Enrollments were
clustered predominately in health & safety (26%), public safety (39%) and education, agriculture/natural
resources and business/industry skills training (35%).
• There were over 40,000 enrollments in Information Technology-related training.
• The demand for health & safety training reached 150,314 enrollments.
• Enrollments in Fire/Rescue, Law Enforcement and Emergency Medical Technician

PROPRIETARY SCHOOLS LICENSURE
Proprietary schools are for-profit educational institutions that are privately owned and operated by an
individual owner, partnership, or corporation. They offer classes for the purpose of teaching a program of
study, several courses or subjects needed to train and educate North Carolina residents for employment.
Under Article 8 of the North Carolina General Statutes 115D-87-97, the State Board of Community
Colleges is charged with the responsibility of licensing proprietary schools in North Carolina. The charge
was transferred from the State Board of Education by action of the General Assembly in 1987.
The licensing process consists of the following steps: (1) The Office of Proprietary Schools receives an
inquiry from a prospective applicant; (2) the prospective applicant submits a preliminary application to the
Office of Proprietary Schools for review; if a license is found to be required after preliminary review, the
applicant is notified to complete the final application process; (3) the final application is submitted to the
Office of Proprietary Schools for review and evaluation of program quality as set by state and national
standards; (4) a license site visit is conducted to review the physical facility; and (5) the Office of Propri-
etary Schools makes a recommendation to the State Board of Community Colleges for granting of a
license.
To be licensed, the proprietary schools must pay an initial licensing fee and a renewal fee each year
thereafter, and meet requirements for licensing including standards for program and course offerings,
personnel, financial stability, and operating practices. Each renewal is subject to review and recommenda-
tion for approval to the State Board of Community Colleges. A renewal license is effective beginning July
1 of each fiscal year. Newly licensed and existing schools are audited annually to determine the school's
status and verify that all requirements of the license are being met.
Licensing is an ongoing process. For an updated listing of licensed proprietary schools, refer to the News
and Information/Proprietary Schools section on the System Office Web site at
http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/Proprietary_Schools/index.html.

SMALL BUSINESS CENTERS
The North Carolina Community College Small Business Center Network (SBCN) consists of a small
business center at each of the state's 58 community colleges. These centers provide a wide variety of
seminars and workshops, one-on-one counseling, a library of resources, and referrals to other sources of
help to owners and operators of small businesses.
The mission of each SBC is to help the many small businesses within its service area survive, prosper,
and contribute to the economic well-being of the community and the state. This service, supported
exclusively with state funds, began with eight centers in 1984. Since then, it has grown gradually; the last
five colleges joined the network in 1995. Today, each center receives an annual grant of approximately
$66,000.
Educational Opportunities—Seminars/workshops and courses on the how-to of business operations
including business planning, management, finance, computers/software, communications, taxes, behav-
ioral needs, and specialty (technical and targeted market) needs. The SBCN also offers the Export
READY Program, which is designed to walk North Carolina companies through the export process, step-
by-step, with real life examples and current detailed information. Plus, OSHA Regulations training; IRS
Small Business Tax Information; Government Purchasing and Contracts; and a Business Start-up series
taught in Spanish for the Hispanic population.
Business Counseling—Small Business Centers provide free, confidential counseling for new and exist-
ing businesses. The counselor serves as a sounding board for ideas and concerns and will help find
solutions to challenging business questions.
Resource and Information Center—Printed and audiovisual materials; computer and software accessi-
bility; Internet access; and teleconference capability.

THE NORTH CAROLINA CENTER FOR APPLIED TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY
The North Carolina Center for Applied Textile Technology (NCCATT) was established in 1943 as the
first post-secondary technical institution in the state. In 1991, NCCATT became the 59th institution in
the North Carolina Community College System.
The Center specializes in technical assistance, product analysis and development, market research, and
customized extension instruction designed for the textile industry. It is the only institution of its kind in
North Carolina. Located in Belmont, the Center sits in the middle of the largest concentration of textile
manufacturing plants in the world. Unlike its community college counterparts, the Center’s service area
is not restricted to a surrounding county. The Center serves the entire state. Clients come from all over
North Carolina, from other states and even foreign countries.
The Center provides opportunities for North Carolina to have on site training programs specific to the
textile and related industries. Seminars and short courses are also taken off campus to manufacturing
sites or other community colleges. The Center provides these opportunities through cooperative arrange-
ments with other institutions and agencies in the state through training programs, continuing education,
technical assistance and business support.
The Center’s role in meeting the needs of North Carolina’s major industry is dynamic and ever changing.
The Center currently has an ambitious electrical and construction trade program in Gaston County
designed to prepare high school graduates for direct entrance to the workforce. This year’s program
attracted over 170 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, who have received extensive hands-on
training both on campus and at live site locations.

WORKFORCE INITIATIVES
The Workforce Initiatives Unit within the Economic and Workforce Development Division has the
primary responsibility for developing partnerships and workforce policies with other state workforce
agencies for the implementation of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) was implemented in North Carolina in January 2000. The purpose
of WIA is to prepare youth, adults, and dislocated workers for employment or further education and
training through core, intensive, and training services. The cornerstone of this workforce investment
system is “One-Stop” service delivery, which unifies numerous training, education and employment
programs into a single, customer-friendly system. The underlying principle of “One-Stop” service
delivery is the integration of programs, services and governance structures. In North Carolina, this
system is referred to as “JobLink Career Centers.” There are 30+ colleges that serve as sites for local
JobLink Career Centers.

OVERVIEW OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUDGET PROCESS
Community colleges are funded by the General Assembly based on the average number of full-time
equivalent students (FTE) for the year which is converted to dollars by formula. The essential elements
of this process are outlined below:
• One student who takes 16 hours of class work for one semester (or 16 weeks) generates 256 hours. If
this same student attends classes for one year, the student would generate 688 hours which is equiva-
lent to one annual FTE.
One fall or spring semester FTE = 16 hours x 16 weeks = 256 hours
One summer term FTE = 16 hours x 11 weeks = 176 hours
In order for a college to generate budget, approximately 18 FTEs must be generated before an instruc-
tional unit can be allocated. Each year the dollar amount for curriculum (credit) and extension (no-
credit) changes depending on funds available.
• The actual dollar amount paid to each college by the state for each FTE earned is determined by the
amount of money appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose. Therefore, it varies from
year to year. It is also different for FTEs earned by students in curriculum (degree or certificate)
programs and continuing education or extension programs. (If the Legislature fails to increase
funding as enrollments increase, the institutions do not receive funds for the full number of FTE
credits earned.)
• FTE funds are to be used for current operating expenses such as instructional salaries, supplies and
travel, administration, clerical and fiscal support, counselors, librarians, financial aid, placement and
other personnel performing services for students. An average of 90–92 percent of these funds is used
for salaries.
• The majority of funds (90%) is allocated to the colleges based on applicable FTE formulas. Current
operating funds are allotted based on FTE generated in the curriculum programs for the preceding
academic year (fall, spring) or the latest three-year average whichever is greater. Continuing Educa-
tion funds are based on FTE earned in the previous spring semester, summer term, and fall semester
or the latest three-year average whichever is greater. Continuing Education programs include Occu-
pational Extension and Basic Skills Education. Funds for Community Service Programs are allotted
as a block grant and can only be used for community service programs. Community Service Pro-
grams do not generate budget FTE.
• Funds allotted for educational equipment and library books are based on a weighted FTE formula.
The previous calendar year's actual FTE (spring, summer, and fall) are used in determining the fund
distribution.
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION III—PAGE 48
• Other State-Aid funds are distributed based on either project proposal or some modified FTE formu-
las.
• FTE funds may NOT be used for utilities (including telephone) or plant maintenance. These costs
must be paid from local sources.
• Recreational courses must be offered as self-supporting unless they are required as part of a particular
curriculum.

Academic Year—The academic year includes fall and spring semesters as well as an eleven-week
summer term.
Accreditation—A formal means of recognizing an institution for maintaining standards that qualify the

major course work, associate in applied science degree programs require a minimum of 15 semester hour
credits of general education. General education requirements include course work in communications,
humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences and natural sciences/mathematics. Certain courses in
associate degree programs may be accepted by a four-year college or university for transfer credit in an
associated field.
Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT)—A nonprofit international association with
headquarters in Washington, DC, that seeks to unify, promote, encourage, and develop two-year institu-
tions through the expertise and insight of trustee leadership.

additions to fixed assets (i.e. expenditures for land, buildings, or equipment).
Categorical Funds (restricted)—Funds from a federal, state, local, or private source that are restricted to
expenditures in a particular category or program.
Certificate Programs—These programs range from 12 to 18 semester hour credits and can usually be
completed within one semester by a full-time student. Associate degree level courses within a certificate
program may also be applied toward a diploma or an associate in applied science degree.
Certification—A voluntary form of recognition for knowledge and skill in a particular profession.
Clock Hour—One hour of instruction given one student. Class periods from 50–60 minutes may be
counted as one clock hour depending on the type of instruction delivered.
College Transfer Programs—These programs are offered through the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate
in Fine Arts (AFA) and Associate in Science (AS) degrees. The Associate in Arts and the Associate in
Science programs are part of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). This agreement ad-
dresses the transfer of students between institutions in the North Carolina Community College System
and the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina
Compensatory Education—A special state-funded educational program for mentally retarded adults
(over 17 years of age).
Competency-Based Instruction—Instruction based on measurable student performance outcomes
consistent with the skills and knowledge needed by entry-level employees in a particular field.
Cooperative Skills Training—A training program specifically designed to provide customized training
for existing industry. This training can be provided on campus or at the industrial site.

improve their basic skill in order to perform at the level required for admission to degree and diploma
programs. Usually these courses are in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Diploma Programs—These programs range from 36 to 48 semester hour credits and can usually be
completed by a full-time student within two semesters and one summer term. Associate degree level
courses within a diploma program may also be applied toward an Associate in Applied Science degree.
