GENERAL ADVISING TIPS FOR ALL ASSOCIATE AND CERTIFICATES AT WEST VIRGINIA STATE COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE (WVSCTC)
1. Make an appointment to meet with your major advisor. See the list of WVSCTC Program Advisors following this section of General Advising Tips. Your major advisor will: • • • • • Help you plan how to meet all your program requirements for graduation. Assist you in determining your schedule of classes. Inform you of any program changes. Maintain records of your progress. Prepare letters of recommendation (upon request) for your employment applications.
2. Let your advisor know if you are interested in completing a bachelor degree after your associate degree, so they can help you plan for both degrees. 3. Follow the sequence of courses as outlined in the catalog. Program sequences are established to build the background for higher-level courses and often designate courses that are offered in particular semesters. For example, first and second semesters generally coincide with fall terms and second and third semesters with spring terms. Some courses are offered only in the fall or only in the spring, while many courses (especially general education) are offered each semester. 4. Enroll in College 101 in your first semester if required in your program or if you have a composite ACT score of 19 or below. College 101 helps all students learn and strengthen the following college-level, job, and life success skills and knowledge: • • • • • • • College reading, concentration, comprehension, and retention skills Study skills, learning strategies, test preparation, and test taking skills College policies, student services, and other “ropes” to help you hasten your graduation Self-management skills (goal setting and achievement, improving self-discipline, and time, stress, and health management) Human relationship skills (assertive, facilitative, conflict resolution, attitude development, and understanding diversity) Critical thinking skills for problem solving, and decision making Career assessment and planning and job acquisition skills
5. Attendance is required in the first scheduled class period for each course. Your instructors set forth course expectations and assignments in the very first class period. 6. WVSCTC provides open access admission, but uses tests for placement into Math and English. Although WVSCTC has an open access policy for admission and does not require minimum ACT scores for admission, the state of West Virginia determines standards for placement into college-level Math and English courses. WVSCTC uses both the ACT and the Accuplacer tests for placement into Math and the ACT and SAT for placement into English classes. NOTE the following specific guidelines for placement into Math and English.
4
ENGLISH COURSES AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
The State of West Virginia has developed placement standards for all freshman composition courses. In order to determine the correct placement in English, please use these guidelines: English 099 and English 101: 1. Refer to the student's ACT subscore in English. If the subscore is 18 or higher, the student is eligible for English 101. If the score is lower than 18, the student MUST BE PLACED in English 099. 2. Currently, there is NO OTHER placement exam for WVSC or WVSCTC composition courses. That means that the ACT alone is used for placement into English composition. 3. If the student has SAT scores, refer to the VERBAL score. It must be 450 or higher for placement into English 101. Any score below 450 means placement into English 099. 4. If the student has no ACT or SAT scores, the student MUST BE placed into English 099. If the student produces scores at a later time, he/she will be moved to English 101 if necessary. 5. English 099 does NOT count toward a student's program requirements, but does count toward financial aid and g.p.a.
English 098: English 098, a college-level reading course, is NOT REQUIRED by the State of WV nor is it required by WVSU or WVSCTC. However, we strongly encourage students whose ACT reading sub-scores are low to take the course along with English 099. 1. English 098 is NOT a prerequisite to English 099. 2. English 098 concentrates on analytical reading skills at the college-level. 3. English 098 credit does NOT count toward a student's program requirements, but does count toward financial aid and g.p.a.

MATH COURSES AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Placement for Developmental Math (Math 011, 012 or 013) courses is by Accuplacer score (or by ACT if Accuplacer score is not available.) All new students are required to take Accuplacer during their summer advising appointment. Practice problems may be found at www.wvsc.edu/studentaffairs/saoffices/newstudentprograms. Advisors are asked to informally assess a student’s readiness for math classes by looking at their high school math performance, length of time since their last math class, level of math anxiety, etc. Students scoring in the upper reaches of the cutoff for Math 012 may take Math 012 or Math 013 if the student and the advisor feel they could be successful. On the other hand, students who score high enough for Math 012 may be more comfortable beginning in Math 011. Math 013 is for students who need a review of certain Math 011 topics, and/or a slower-paced Math 012 class. It is designed to be a substitute for math 012, not Math 011. Students who complete Math 013 are eligible for all courses, which have Math 012 as a prerequisite. Math 011 Pre-Algebra (3 credits) Accuplacer Arithmetic score 0-70 ACT 0-16 Topics: Basic arithmetic, rounding, prime factorizations, fractions, decimals, percents, proportions, positive and negative numbers, algebraic expressions, solving simple equations, area and perimeter, conversion of American and Metric measures, interpreting graphs and charts, simple statistics. Math 012 Introduction to Algebra (3 credits) Accuplacer Arithmetic score 65+ACT 17-18 Topics: Solving equations and inequalities, word problems, exponents, polynomials, factoring, solving quadratic equations, graphing linear equations, writing equations of lines, solving systems of equations. Math 013 Fundamental of Algebra (4 credits) Accuplacer Arithmetic score 50-70 ACT 15-17 Topics: Fractions, decimals, percents, signed numbers, and all Math 012 topics. Computer-Assisted Math 011, Math 012, and Math 013 classes These classes carry the same credit and cover the same topics as regular Math 011 and Math 012 classes. Students get their “lecture” through an interactive computer program, instead of an instructor. Students are expected to attend all class meetings, and the instructor is present to provide individual help, small group help, or full class lecture/ instruction/ review as needed. Students are graded on their computer work as well as paper and pencil tests and quizzes. Students in Computer-Assisted Math classes MUST: • Have access to a working, reliable computer outside of class, at times convenient to the student • Be willing to work independently and follow deadlines as outlined on the syllabus • Self-evaluate regularly
Placing into Math 100 and higher
Students scoring 85 or higher on the Accuplacer Arithmetic test may want to take the Elementary Algebra test to see if they can place into Math 100 or higher. See table of Math Placement scores below.

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE Chemical Technology
CAREERS IN CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY
The chemical technology curriculum provides training for entry-level laboratory jobs. It gives a solid background in chemistry, both in the theory as well as in the basic laboratory techniques. The curriculum has been totally revised (1997-98 academic year) so that all but one course transfers to a BS curriculum in chemistry. This new program is more rigorous and saves time for those wishing to continue their education in chemistry. Advancement in many laboratory positions requires at least a BS degree and local employers often assist with continuing education beyond the Chem Tech Degree. The Department of Chemistry offers classes in both the day and evening sessions so that students may complete their education while they work. The Chemical Technology Degree is, therefore, a good choice for getting an entry-level laboratory job, with the option for later completing a BS degree. Graduates find jobs with local chemical industries, environmental testing labs, governmental agencies, hospital labs, waste management, sales, and other positions requiring a background in chemistry. There are a limited number of positions available for students to participate in the Cooperative Education Program. In this program, students attend classes on a part-time basis while concurrently having a paid work experience.

1. All students majoring in Nuclear Medicine Technology must contact the Program Director, John Gaskins (766-3202) or the Clinical Coordinator, Lori Kloman Williamson (766-4130), for a detailed explanation of the program. We will explain the program requirements and acceptance criteria. 2. Enroll in College 101 during your first semester if your ACT composite score is 19 or below. 3 If required by placement tests, Developmental Math and/or English should be taken in the first semester.
4. Immediately begin your math requirements. If the student has a 16 or less on their ACT math score they will be behind two years in the Nuclear Medicine Technology curriculum. You are required to have Math 101, College Algebra and Math 102 Trigonometry before you can take Physics 191 or Physics 201. If you have a background in high school Trigonometry, you may wish to talk to the Physics department about taking the class without taking Math 102. 5. This is a competitive program. Just because you declare Nuclear Medicine Technology as your major you are not guaranteed acceptance into the second year (clinical portion) of the program. Again, see Mr. John Gaskins or Ms. Kloman-Williamson for specific program details.

This is a suggested sequence only. Availability of courses according to the sequence is not guaranteed. The assumption of this suggested sequence is that the student is qualified for English 101 and Math 100 as determined by the student’s ACT scores. ACT scores will determine math and English course eligibility, and the following developmental courses may be required: Math 011 and/or Math 012 English 098 and/or English 099
If Math 011/012 and/or English 098/099 are required, the above sequence will thereby be modified and the time frame for completion of the program will increase. All developmental courses should be substituted in the suggested sequence during the first two semesters, and the remaining courses/sequence of the first two semesters and subsequent year discussed with an appropriate advisor.
