On December 18, 1959, Suffolk County Community College of the State University of New York was founded
under the administration of a nine-member board of trustees, five appointed by the
then County Board of Supervisors and four by the Governor of the State of New York.
On October 3, 1960, the college officially opened, occupying temporary facilities
at Sachem Junior-Senior High School in Ronkonkoma, New York, as well as part-time
facilities at Riverhead High School in Riverhead. Initial enrollment included 171
full-time students and 335 part-time students.
As the college began to grow, the Board of Supervisors of Suffolk County provided
a 130-acre site in Selden for a permanent campus. Six buildings on the site were renovated
and converted, equipment necessary for the operation of the college was obtained,
and in August 1961 the college occupied what was later to be known as the Ammerman
Campus, renamed in honor of the college’s founding president, Dr. Albert M. Ammerman.
The second year of operation opened with over 1,400 full- and part-time students.
In June 1962, the College held its first commencement exercises, at which 42 graduates
received associate degrees. Two other permanent campuses were opened – the Michael
J. Grant Campus in Brentwood in 1974 and the Eastern Campus in Riverhead in 1977.
One College, Three Campuses
Ammerman Campus (Selden, NY)
Today, the Ammerman Campus encompasses 156 acres and has 17 academic, administrative
and auxiliary buildings. In 2015, the College opened the 62,700-square-foot William
J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building, which contains science classrooms, laboratories
and prep rooms as well as lecture halls and meeting spaces.
Michael J. Grant Campus (Brentwood, NY)
The Michael J. Grant Campus occupies a site of 207 acres with 15 academic, administrative
and auxiliary buildings, including an 110,000-square-foot building which houses classrooms,
laboratories, and a theatre. A 277,000-square-foot complex, which houses the Suffolk
County Police Academy, a pool, field house, fitness center and health technology wing,
opened in 2000.
Located on the Michael J. Grant Campus, the Sally Ann Slacke Corporate Training Center
continues to provide a wide array of customized workforce and professional development
training for the region's business sector, not-for-profit organizations and public
agencies.
In September 2009, the college opened the Workforce Development and Technology Center.
This 18,000-square-foot building is LEED Gold Certified by the U.S. Green Building
Council and includes state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms and office space.
As part of our partnership with Long Island University, a new modular building was
completed in 2016 on the Michael J. Grant Campus.
In 2017, the college completed construction on a 74,200-square-foot Learning Resource
Center, which includes traditional library functions as well as a 100-seat lecture
hall, the Academic Tutoring Center, the Writing Studio, meeting space and a Teaching
Learning Center.
The college has recently completed construction of a new Renewable Energy/STEM Center
on this campus. This facility is the cornerstone of new academic initiatives (both
credit and non-credit) being developed in Energy Management, Alternative Energy Technologies,
Sustainability Studies as well as Cybersecurity and other STEM disciplines.
Eastern Campus (Riverhead, NY)
The Eastern Campus, located on a 192-acre site in the Pine Barrens of eastern Long
Island, comprises six academic buildings and three auxiliary buildings. Also affiliated
with the Eastern Campus is the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Center located on Main
Street in downtown Riverhead, just three miles north of the main campus.
The Easrern Campus is home to the Montaukett Learning Resource Center. This facility
includes a state-of-the-art library, a large lecture hall, computer classrooms, a
multi-media room, the Academic Support Center, gallery space and varied learning spaces
for students to pursue collaborative and independent study.
In September 2019, the college opened the Health and Wellness Center, a 40,214-square-foot
building which contains a large lap pool, a gymnasium, strength training area and
classrooms for instruction and meetings.
A Leader in Education
In January 2008, the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Center opened in downtown Riverhead.
The Center offers two-year A.A.S. degrees in Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry Arts,
as well as certificates, a variety of general education, and continuing education
courses. The Center includes classrooms, hands-on training labs, a 60-seat demonstration
theatre, a retail bakery and café. In addition, spaces are available for rent for
meetings and events.

of New York (SUNY) system, enrolling approximately 21,000 students. It offers approximately
100 degree, workforce training, and certificate options in business and paralegal
studies; communications and the arts; computer science, engineering and technology;

grown to more than 415. By May 2022, the college had over 140,000 alumni.
Each year, Suffolk County Community College prepares students to enter the workforce
upon graduation in such marketable areas as medical records, physical therapist assistant,
paralegal, nursing, culinary arts and many other fields. Other students transfer to
four-year colleges and universities to complete their baccalaureate degree. Suffolk

New York University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as
institutions within the State University of New York.

To help you explore your goal for attending Suffolk, visit Admissions Procedures. The admissions process takes only a few steps and applying online is quick and easy.
Follow the Steps to Apply to get started.
Have your high school mail your official transcript to the Central Admissions Office
to complete the application process. If you have a high school equivalency diploma,
mail a copy of the diploma with scores to the Central Admissions Office. If you attended
another college or plan to transfer credits, see Transfer Students.
The College believes liberal admission requirements are an essential part of its philosophy
and, in that context, has maintained a Full Opportunity Program of admission for many
years. Full Opportunity means the College offers acceptance in an appropriate program
to all applicants residing in Suffolk County who have graduated from an approved high
school or hold the New York State High School Equivalency Diploma (or equivalent).
Applicants over the age of 18 who do not meet these requirements should contact one
of the campus admissions offices for alternate admission procedures under the Ability
to Benefit (ATB) program. These procedures include the testing of the applicant and
counselor review of all testing data and academic credentials prior to the admission
process. Federal guidelines on testing cut-off scores are utilized for admission purposes.
Students who wish to transfer to Suffolk County Community College from another college
are accepted if they have left their previous institution in good academic standing.
See Transfer Students for transferring in credits.
Some majors have special admission procedures and entrance requirements. Admission
into these programs is based on factors such as completion of required prerequisites,
grade point average, high school record, work experience and objective test data.
For majors with competitive admission requirements, preference may be given to students
who complete their prerequisite course work at Suffolk County Community College. In
addition, Suffolk County residents will be given preference over residents of other
New York State counties for admission into competitive programs in those cases where
the program is available in the student’s county of residence. Furthermore, applicants
from outside New York State, including those from outside the United States, will
be considered for admission to competitive/restricted programs only after the admission
of all qualified Suffolk County and New York State applicants.
Specific admission requirements and application procedures for each of Suffolk County
Community College’s curricula can be found in the individual detailed curriculum descriptions
in the Curricula section of this catalog. Students enrolling in other than New York
State registered or otherwise approved programs may jeopardize eligibility for financial
aid.
Application Deadlines
Applicants are urged to file their application by November 1 for spring admission
and April 1 for fall admission in order to assure early consideration of their application
and the greatest selection of program and course offerings. In addition, the following
programs admit freshmen for the fall semester only and give preference to applications
received by January 15: Nursing and Practical Nursing (except August 15 for select
options), Occupational Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapist Assistant, and Veterinary
Science Technology. Transfer students may be accepted for the spring into a competitive
program on a case-by-case basis.
Matriculation
Matriculated Status
Matriculated status is granted to every student who is admitted into a degree or certificate
program at Suffolk County Community College. Matriculation assures a student that
the requirements for a particular program which are in effect at the time of matriculation
will remain in effect until that student graduates.
Matriculated students may attend classes on a part-time (1-11.5 credits per semester)
or full-time (12 or more credits per semester) basis and may schedule their classes
during the days, evenings, weekends, or online on any of the college’s three campuses.
To be eligible for financial aid, students must be matriculated and taking courses
required for or applicable to their current degree program.
Loss of matriculation occurs if the student:
applied and was accepted to the College, but never attended.
was matriculated in a program with limited seat availability (e.g., Automotive Service
Specialist, Automotive Business, Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair, Cybersecurity
Information Assurance, Emergency Medical Technician: Paramedic, Nursing, Occupational
Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapist Assistant, Practical Nursing, Toyota T-TEN Automotive
Service, and Veterinary Science Technology) and did not attend during the semester
of acceptance (excluding wintersession and summer session).
did not enroll in credit-bearing courses at the College for two or more consecutive
semesters (excluding wintersession and summer session).
was academically dismissed or if the student’s matriculation status was rescinded
for academic reasons.
graduated from Suffolk and is not subsequently pursuing an additional degree or certificate.
Non-Matriculated Status
Non-matriculated status is assigned to any student who wishes to take classes at Suffolk
County Community College but who has not been admitted into a degree or certificate
program or for a student who has lost matriculation status. Non-matriculated students
can register for 1 through 11.5 credits per semester and are not eligible for financial
aid.
Non-matriculated students in “good academic standing” must apply for admission or
readmission to continue in a program and are required to follow the curriculum requirements
for the term of application. Students who have previously attended Suffolk, but are
not in good academic standing, must see a Campus Associate Dean of Academic Affairs
for evaluation of readmitting into a program.
International Students
Admission of international students requires the issuance of a SEVIS I-20 form to
qualify for F-1 non-immigrant student status in the United States. International students
should contact the International Counselor's office or visit International Students for information and forms regarding international admissions.
International students outside of the United States may have their Suffolk County
resident sponsor request a meeting with the International Counselor. International
students are encouraged to file applications at least three months before the start
of classes for both the fall and spring semesters.
Most programs are offered on each campus, and some programs are offered on select
campuses. Before applying, search for program-specific information in Majors and Programs.
Step 3: Submit Your Application
It is recommended that you apply online. You will be required to enter your Social Security number and have a valid email
address. Failure to submit your SSN will impact your eligibility for financial aid.
Social Security numbers are also required for Federal Tax Reporting purposes.
You will need to submit a non-refundable application fee of $45 along with your application.
Please make payment by check or money order payable to Suffolk County Community College.
Do Not Send Cash.
Step 4. Send Additional Documents
Request and submit the following documents to the Central Admissions office. See address
below.
Request an official transcript from your high school. If you received a High School
Equivalency Diploma, send a copy of the diploma and scores.
If available, submit official ACT or SAT exam scores, Advanced Placement score report,
or International Baccalaureate exam results.
Submit a copy of your immunization records.
Request official transcripts from each college attended, including college courses
taken in high school, be sent to the Transfer Credit Evaluation Office at the same
address.
If your high school diploma was from outside the United States, submit an Educational
Credential Evaluation from an accredited agency as listed below:
If you received an individualized Education Program (I.E.P) Diploma or a CDOS Commencement
Credential, were home schooled, or earned your high school diploma online, please
contact the Admissions Office at (631) 451-4000.
All admissions documents must be submitted to:
Suffolk County Community College
Central Admissions Office 533 College Road Selden, NY 11784
Step 5. Apply for Financial Aid
You should begin the application process for financial aid as soon as possible. This
will help to ensure your eligibility for the program for which you qualify. For more
information on financial aid, refer to applying for Financial Aid.
Mandatory Student Immunizations for Measles, Mumps and Rubella
In accordance with NYS Public Health Law Section 2165, all students enrolled for at
least six (6) semester hours, or the equivalent, at Suffolk County Community College,
who were born on or after January 1, 1957, are required to provide acceptable written
proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella in accordance with standards
approved by the New York State Department of Health. These standards include the following:
Measles
Two (2) vaccines after 1/1/68 (minimum of 28 days apart) [or] Physician-documented history of disease [or] Blood titer showing immunity
Mumps
One (1) vaccine after 1/1/69
[or] Physician-documented history of disease [or] Blood titer showing immunity
Rubella
One (1) vaccine after 1/1/69
A history of having had Rubella is not acceptable proof of immunity. [or] Blood titer showing immunity
How do I comply with MMR requirements?
If you were born on or after January 1, 1957, you will not be permitted to register
for classes until your proof of immunization has been submitted and approved by the
Health Services Office.
Obtain a stamped copy of your health records from any of the following sources:
the Guidance Office or Health Office at your high school
In addition, proof of an honorable discharge from the armed services within 10 years
prior to the date of application to Suffolk County Community College shall also qualify
as a certificate enabling a student to attend classes pending actual receipt of immunization
records from the armed services.
Immunization Clinics for MMR Vaccination
The Suffolk County Department of Health Services periodically offers immunization
clinics in the community.
Call (631) 854-0222 for information.
What's Recommended
Td Vaccine (tetanus & diphtheria)
A booster is recommended for adults every 5 years.
The Health Services Office recommends that you speak to your doctor or health care
provider regarding your health concerns and the need for any additional immunizations.
Suffolk County Community College does not offer, endorse, or promote any health insurance
plans for its students. As a courtesy only, the Health Services Offices may have information
about private plans that are available to students.
Accident Insurance
Due to legal and regulatory changes related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as of
Fall 2018, the College will no longer offer the Student Accident Insurance Plan (SAIP)
to students.
Based on these conditions, all students must now find their own private health insurance
coverage. Individuals under the age of 26 may qualify for health insurance under a
parent’s plan. Individuals may also be eligible to be covered under their parent’s
plan until age 29 under State law if certain requirements are met. For more information,
see the NYS Department of Financial Services website. Those who do not qualify for
coverage under a parent’s health insurance policy should visit the New York State
Health Plan Marketplace at https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov. By following the steps outlined on the website, students can identify and purchase
healthcare coverage ideally suited to their own needs, as well as explore whether
they qualify for free or low-cost coverage options and assistance that may be available
to obtain coverage. Some students may not be able to obtain coverage through the Marketplace
until the open enrollment period for 2019 coverage begins later this fall, but some
students may qualify for a special enrollment period and, thus, be able to obtain
coverage now, so we encourage students to research their eligibility and coverage
options as soon as possible.
Please note that it is extremely important for students to obtain health insurance. The College encourages its students to pursue either: (a) coverage through a parent’s
health insurance or; (b) a personal policy available through the online Marketplace. Students
are responsible for their own health, and should take the time to find the ideal insurance
options.

Transfer Agreements
For students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university, agreements
are provided to assist students to transfer more effectively. Other transfer opportunities
are available, but the agreements below have been developed to ensure minimal to no
loss of credits. Read more about Transfer Agreements
About Transfer Agreements
Agreements are modified from time-to-time and students are advised to check the transfer
agreement list periodically to see what new opportunities are available to them. Additionally,
in all cases of transfer, a student should meet with a transfer counselor at his/her
home campus and should confer with the transfer counselor of the four-year college
or university.
The course catalog description and learning outcomes for all Suffolk courses are available
for review at Course Descriptions.
Articulation Agreements
An articulation agreement is signed by both Suffolk and a four-year partner to generally
provide transfer tables with necessary courses required to transfer more seamlessly
to the four-year institution. Most articulation agreements will provide students with
junior standing.
Joint Admission Agreement
Joint Admission agreements provide a pathway to be admitted to Suffolk and the four-year
institution. Students are guaranteed admission into the listed parallel program provided
they have completed the degree at Suffolk with the designated minimum cumulative grade
point average and with satisfaction of other admission requirements. Most joint admissions
agreements also include an articulation agreement. Students can choose to enter a
joint admission agreement through the college application process, but it must be
selected within the first 24 credits completed. Please contact the campus Admissions
Office to apply.
Every year many transfer students begin their studies at Suffolk County Community
College by transferring college credits from other colleges and universities. Your
transfer to Suffolk begins by applying online.
Request your official college transcript(s), including AP or IB, be sent directly
from your previous institution to transfercredits@sunysuffolk.edu or directly mailed to:
Suffolk County Community College Transfer Credit Office 533 College Road Selden, NY 11784-2899
After your college transcript(s) arrive, your transfer credits will be evaluated for
applicable credits toward your program. An email will notify you when the courses
are transferred into your student account. You can view the Transfer Evaluation Tables to see unofficially how your courses may transfer.
Grades for prior coursework accepted for Suffolk credit are not noted on our transcript,
nor considered in computing the grade point average. However, grades for such courses
may be used for admission decisions for curricula with competitive admission.
Below is a brief description of the various ways students can receive college credit.
Please email transfercredits@sunysuffolk.edu for further information.
AWARD OF ACADEMIC CREDIT BY EVALUATION POLICY
In order to obtain an associate degree, students who receive transfer credit for prior
coursework and/or are awarded academic credit for prior learning must still complete
a minimum of 30 credit hours of academic coursework at Suffolk County Community College.
To obtain a Certificate, half of the credits must be completed at Suffolk County Community
College. Advanced Placement, challenge examination, CLEP, portfolio, and all categories of transfer
credit do not count towards the minimum resident credits for a degree or certificate.
In order to be eligible for transfer credit, students must be matriculated into a
degree or certificate program. Transfer credits are not computed into the student’s
grade point average (GPA).
Requests of a student’s official college transcript(s), including AP or IB, should

Suffolk County Community College Transfer Credit Office 533 College Road Selden, NY 11784-2899
Courses taken at other Colleges and Universities
Suffolk County Community College will accept academic credit earned from colleges
and universities accredited by regional institutional accrediting organizations recognized
by both the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the U.S. Department
of Education.
Credits for courses received from non-regionally accredited institutions of higher
education will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Course descriptions and/or syllabi may be required to assist in evaluating the course.
Credit for coursework successfully completed with a grade of C minus (C-) or higher
may be awarded for courses deemed equivalent to Suffolk County Community College courses.
Grades indicated by a pass, with credits posted, will only be accepted if the grade
is equivalent to a C- or higher. Credit is recorded on the student’s transcript with
“TR”.
Credit may be awarded to students who have taken Advanced Placement courses in high
school and who attain scores of 3 or higher on the appropriate Advanced Placement
examinations administered through the College Board. Students should be aware that
other schools may have a more restrictive policy for Advanced Placement transfer credit,
and courses covered by AP exams at Suffolk may not be acceptable at their subsequent
institution. Such credit will be added to the student’s transcript with a grade of
“E” and will not be computed as part of institutional GPA. See the Transfer Evaluation Table for courses awarded by Suffolk.
To be awarded AP credit, students must request their official Advanced Placement score

Prior Learning Assessment
Challenge Exam
When a CLEP examination is not available to test prior learning in a course or subject
offered at Suffolk County Community College, a challenge exam can provide an opportunity
for a student to demonstrate knowledge or competencies to receive credit for a specific
course.
To request a challenge exam, students must complete the Challenge Exam Application
and submit it to the Campus Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The Associate Dean
will forward the application to the department chair for review. If approved, the
student will be contacted and arrangements for exam administration will be made.

The request must be approved by the academic department. Challenge examinations are
not available for all courses.
The student must be matriculated in a degree or certificate program.
The challenge exam cannot be taken for a course that the student has failed or withdrawn
from.
Students should consult with the Office of Academic Affairs for applicable fees associated
with the administration of a challenge exam.
Credit obtained upon successful completion of a Challenge Exam is recorded on the
student’s transcript with “E” and will not be computed as part of the institutional
GPA.
Portfolio Assessment
Students may request credit for a course that does not have an established method
for granting prior learning credit through the development of a portfolio that demonstrates
well-documented existing knowledge and competencies.
To be eligible for portfolio assessment:
The academic department in which the student seeks credit must approve the student’s
request for portfolio assessment.
The student must be registered for 6 or more credits.
The student must be matriculated in a degree or certificate program.
The student will not be permitted to submit a portfolio for a course they already
took and failed, already earned credit for, or are enrolled in at the same time as
their portfolio submission.
For additional information, read more about Portfolio Assessment. Students should consult with the Office of Academic Affairs for applicable fees
associated with receiving academic credits for prior learning. Credit is granted
after review by a faculty member and earning a C or higher.
Credit awarded upon completion of a portfolio assessment is recorded on the student’s
transcript with a grade of “L” indicating discipline-specific evaluation by Portfolio
and will not be computed as part of institutional GPA.
Note: Portfolio Assessment is not recommended for students who have completed 30 or
more credits in an associate degree program or at least half of the credits in a certificate
program.
Educational Programs Sponsored by Certain Non-Collegiate Organizations
Suffolk County Community College may award academic credit for industry-recognized
certifications and other non-collegiate training if the training has been evaluated
by either the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) or the American
Council on Education (ACE), is relevant to the student’s program of study, and has
been recommended by the aforementioned organizations. Students are required to submit
an official ACE or NCCRS transcript for evaluation. For military personnel, a Joint
Services Transcript (JST) should be submitted for review.
For other forms of learning earned through non-collegiate training, the methods of
evaluation must be conducted and/or approved by the discipline faculty or academic
chair(s) of all relevant campuses. Final approval will be determined by the Vice
President for Academic Affairs or designee.
Credit awarded for non-collegiate training is recorded on the student’s transcript
with a “TR” and will not be computed as part of institutional GPA.
Foreign Credential Evaluations
Suffolk County Community College may award academic credit for coursework successfully
completed at a foreign college or university if the foreign institution is shown to
be equivalent to a regionally accredited institution in the United States. An official
course-by-course evaluation (which includes a document-to-document evaluation) must
be mailed directly from a credential evaluation service that is a member of either
the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or the Association
of International Credentials Evaluators (AICE) to the following address:
Suffolk County Community College Transfer Credit Office 533 College Road Selden, NY 11784-2899

institutions can initiate the appeal process by:
Submitting a written appeal clearly outlining the reasons for challenging the evaluation
and including supporting documents (syllabi, lab hours, credit hours, etc.)

Eligibility
To qualify for EOP, a student is required to:
be a resident of New York State for 12 months prior to enrollment
have a high school diploma or an equivalency diploma
be in need of financial assistance within established income guidelines
Additional Academic Preparation
A need for additional academic preparation is defined by any oneof the following:
a high school average of 70 to 83;
a General Equivalency Diploma (GED);
a non-high school graduate who is admitted to Suffolk through the Ability to Benefit program;
placement at Suffolk in one or more developmental courses;
a referral from an Educational Opportunity Center within the SUNY system
Potential for mastering college-level work is determined by a review of the student's
high school record, all available test scores, and information about their extracurricular
activities, hobbies, community activities, job history, and any other experiences

Eligibility
Applications to the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program will be considered
on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must be in their first semester in the
fall and full time (12 or more credits) and have a need for academic support in order
to be considered. The program acceptance deadline is October 25th of each year. Please
note that we are unable to accept students in the spring. Therefore, interested students
should apply as early as possible. If you are interested in applying or would like
to learn more about the SSS program on your campus, please contact the TRIO Student
Support Services office at 631-451-4693 or SSS_central@sunysuffolk.edu. Students must meet at least one of the following criteria:
first generation college student (i.e., neither parent has graduated from college with a four-year degree.);
In order to support students with certain academic needs related to college readiness,
Suffolk provides developmental courses in reading, mathematics, English or English
as a Second Language (ESL). These courses are designed to help students refine scholastic
skills, and, thereby, effect a smooth transition to college-level courses. While developmental
courses do not carry credit toward a degree or certificate, successful completion
of these courses is required and may serve as a prerequisite to enrollment in college-level
programs at Suffolk. Developmental courses may lengthen the time needed to complete
a degree program. However, faculty at Suffolk continue to develop multiple approaches
to enable students to begin college-level course work in a timely manner.
Course Placement
Newly admitted matriculated students are enrolled in college-level or developmental-level
courses based on scores earned on the Computerized Placement Test (CPT), certain high
school Regents exams, and/or other available test scores and measures. Students entering
Suffolk who have completed appropriate college-level courses may be waived from part
or all of the CPT.
Course placement may determine a students need to enroll in one or more of the following
developmental courses, which do not fulfill degree requirements:
ENGLISH ENG010: Developmental Writing ENG012: Emerging Writers Workshop
MATHEMATICS MAT001: Developmental Mathematics Skills MAT006: Pre-Algebra and Algebra I MAT007: Algebra I MAT009: Mathematical Literacy
READING RDG096: Essential College Reading RDG098: Introduction to College Reading RDG099: Reading in the Content Areas
In addition, students for whom English is a second language may be required to take
any or all of the following:
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE ESL011-012: ESL College Reading I and II ESL013-014: ESL Intensive Grammar I and II ESL015-016: ESL College Listening Speaking Skills I and II ESL017-018: ESL College Composition I and II
Enrollment Requirements
Students required to take developmental courses in two or more subject areas or one
developmental course at the lower-level English, reading, or ESL (ENG009/ESL017 or
RDG098/RDG096/ESL011) may enroll in up to 14.5 credit hours per semester which would
include the required developmental courses and courses from the student’s chosen curriculum.
Courses are arranged by the counseling staff in consultation with the student. Students
enrolled in developmental courses may drop or add courses only after written approval
by a faculty advisor, counselor, Academic Chair, or Academic Dean.
Full-time students placed into developmental reading, English, or mathematics courses
must register for them during the first semester. If two levels of a developmental
courses are required, students successful at the lower-level must continue to the
higher-level during the subsequent semester. Students earning a U, UN, R, or W must
repeat the lower-level course before moving on to the higher-level.
Part-time students placed into two or more developmental courses may take them in
conjunction with certain approved courses. Students placed only in developmental mathematics
are required to take it during the student’s first semesters.
New students who are applying for financial aid with state aid eligibility must earn
at least 3 college-level credits toward their current degree. In the subsequent semester
the student must earn at least 6 college-level credits toward their current degree.
Any grade issued for a developmental course is binding. A test and retest score on
the CPT cannot be used to substitute for or replace an earned grade.
Suffolk County Community College recognizes that students who are non-native speakers
of English may require specialized English language instruction. As a result, extensive
course offerings in English as a Second Language (ESL) are available at each of the
campuses.
The three ESL programs offer instruction in listening, speaking, reading, writing
and grammar to students for whom English is a second language. The ESL programs include
both part-time and full-time developmental classes on a noncredit basis* and a third
program which offers developmental classes on a credit** basis. The aim of all three
programs is to provide limited English-proficient students with a functional knowledge
of the English language.
The programs furnish students with the necessary communication skills to secure gainful
employment, perform more effectively in daily life situations, and enroll in further
college-level courses, if they so desire. Inasmuch as Suffolk County offers employment
opportunities in business and industry as well as academic options, the ESL programs
are aimed at making these opportunities accessible to their students. Instruction
consists of sequenced levels, each of which is a prerequisite for the next level.
These levels are divided into sections that focus on the four linguistic skill areas:
speaking, listening, reading and writing.
* Students should be aware that all ESL courses, credit or non-credit, are considered
developmental. Therefore, they do not fulfill any degree or certificate requirements.
** Plus 3 or 6 college-level credits for financial aid eligibility.
We have two different ESL options to help you. Look at the questions below to decide
which one is best for you.
Did you graduate high school in the United States?
Are you an advanced student of English?
Have you finished the Non-Credit ESL option (Advanced IEP or Level 4.5)?
Do you want to obtain an associates or bachelor's degree?
If you answered yes to three or more of the questions above, we recommend that you
start with the Credit ESL Program.
If you didn't answer yes to three or more questions above, we recommend that you start
with the Non-Credit ESL Program. This option is for beginning to intermediate students of English.
The ESL non-credit English Program and Intensive English Program at Suffolk County
Community College provide high- quality English as a Second Language instruction to
equip second-language learners with the linguistic ability necessary to thrive academically,
professionally and socially. Our programs foster strong English language acquisition
through creative, yet structured, instruction in a positive and welcoming learning
environment.
Students are placed in classes that are tailored to their English ability, and each
semester they advance through the levels and modules to prepare them to continue their
education at Suffolk County Community College or at another college or university.
Part-Time and Full-Time Programs
The part-time non-credit ESL program consists of four levels and the full-time Intensive
English Program (IEP) consists of three levels. In both programs, each level is a
prerequisite for the next. The only requirements to enter either program are that
students be at least 18 years of age and take a placement test in order to determine
their level of proficiency and appropriate placement in a level.
The part-time non-credit ESL program is for those students who:
have not enrolled at the College in a degree program
are seeking a less expensive option
are able to devote only a limited number of hours per week to study
have language skills at the most basic level
are seeking to improve language skills for vocational or social reasons
are unsure of future academic goals
The full-time non-credit Intensive English Program is for those students who:
want or need to dedicate a significant number of hours per week toward language acquisition
are preparing for college or university study
wish to increase their career options
ESL Program Semester (non-credit):
The semester lasts 12 weeks for both programs. Each week, students in the part-time
program must attend class for 6 hours and also complete one hour of language lab for
a total of 7 hours per week. Depending of the campus, classes are offered during the
day, in the evening and on the weekend. Students in the full-time Intensive English
Program must attend class for 18 hours per week and complete two hours of language
lab for a total of 20 hours a week.
Upon successful completion of either Level 4 or the Advanced IEP of the non-credit
program, an exit test is given and students are encouraged to pursue college-level
work. Students who successfully complete the program also participate in the ESL graduation
ceremony. At that time they receive a Certificate of Program Completion which recognizes
their achievement.
*Students should be aware that all ESL courses, credit or non-credit, are considered
developmental and therefore do not fulfill any degree or certificate requirements.
We offer intensive academic prep courses designed to prepare students, whose first
language is not English, for college-level work in degree programs.
Students may take the full sequence of classes or they may take only those for which
they demonstrate or experience a need. Courses are prescribed according to placement
test scores; not all courses may be required and students may be encouraged to take
courses in appropriate academic disciplines to augment their course schedules.
The credit ESL program is for students who:
have been accepted by Suffolk for full- or part-time admission.
are applying for financial aid (for state aid eligibility, new students must earn
at least 3 college-level credits toward their current degree, while students in subsequent
semesters must earn at least 6 college-level credits toward their current degree).
are seeking a more intensive program of study for academic or professional reasons.
need intensive instruction in any of the above-named skill areas.
need specialized ESL classes based on results of the Computerized Placement Tests.
have completed the non-credit ESL program and need additional focused course work
to enable them to continue their studies.
The College charges full-time tuition to students who take 12 or more credits per
semester. Students who take fewer than 12 credits are charged on a per credit basis.
The College has two tuition rates: resident tuition, charged to Suffolk County residents
and non-resident tuition, charged to all non-Suffolk County residents. Non-resident
tuition is currently double the resident tuition rate. To qualify for resident tuition,
a student must have legal domicile of one year in New York State and six months in
Suffolk County. The legal residency of unmarried students under the age 21 is that
of their parents. Suffolk County permanent residents with valid Permanent Resident
Cards (“green cards”) are charged resident tuition as long as they meet the residency
requirements indicated above.
New York State residents who live in other counties may be eligible for the resident
tuition rate. To qualify, they must submit a Certificate of Residence from their home
county prior to registration. Applications are available at the college’s business
office and online via MySCCC. Students must file their applications with their home county’s Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer
no more than two months before the start date of the semester (no later than 30 days
after the start of classes for some counties). A Certificate of Residence is valid
for no more than one year and must be renewed every year. The Certificate of Residence
must be returned to the College in person or by mail to any campus business/cashier’s
office, or to the College’s Office of Business and Financial Services, Room 232, NFL
Building, Ammerman Campus, 533 College Road, Selden, NY 11784 or by fax to 631-451-4444.
Non-Suffolk residents who do not comply with the Certificate of Residence requirement
and non-Suffolk residents in the United States on a student visa who are ineligible
for the Certificate of Residence are responsible for the full non-resident tuition.
For terms that begin after July 1, 2017, under the GI Bill®, a veteran who enrolls at the College within three years of discharge from a period
of active duty service of 90 days or more will pay resident tuition. There are no
longer any residency requirements, or non-resident tuition charges for veterans or
their eligible dependents using the covered GI Bill® programs. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the
official U.S. government website at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

financial aid paperwork to ensure timely completion of the process.
Make College Easier to Pay for with a Tuition Payment Plan.
Make college more affordable by paying for tuition and fees over time. Tuition payment
plans break down your tuition balance into affordable monthly payments. There's no
interest, payment options are flexible, setup fees are affordable, and it's easy to
enroll!
Suffolk County Community College has a refund policy that conforms to the State University
of New York's policy for community colleges. Generally speaking, students who drop
a course during the College official drop/refund period may be entitled to a partial
refund of their tuition and any refundable fees. The date the course is dropped will
determine the percentage of tuition and fees refunded. Students who wish to drop a class should go to Add or Drop a class and follow the instructions given.
Important Information about the Refund Policy
Failure to attend classes, informing the instructor of withdrawal, or stopping payment
on a check does not constitute either official notification to the college or withdrawal
from your courses.
Refunds are based on the length of classes and the date of the start of the semester
by day or evening sessions in which the classes were taken.
For classes more than eight weeks in length or longer, the percentage of tuition and
fees refunded is:
100% - prior to the first day of the semester
75% - during the first week of classes
50% - during the second week of classes
25% - during the third week of classes
0% - after the third week of classes
For classes that last eight weeks or less, the percentage of tuition and fees refunded
is:
100% - prior to the first day of the session
25% - during the first week of classes
0% - after the first week of classes
The above schedules apply to credit and non-credit courses and programs given by the
college.
If you paid your bill by cash, check, or credit card, you will receive a check from
the college after the three-week refund period for any refund for which you are entitled
(i.e., after any debts to the college have been satisfied).
If you deferred payment of your tuition and fees through financial aid, loans, or
another third party, then your 'refund' will actually be in the form of a reduction
in your liability to the college.
Certain fees are not refundable at any time. These include the Application Fee, Tuition
Deposit, Placement Testing/Advisement Fee, Late Registration Fee, Returned Check Fee,
Records Management Fee, Web Access Fee, and all Tuition Payment Plan Fees.
Fees that are non-refundable on or after the first day of the session (semester) include
the Technology Fee, Vehicle Registration Fee, Graduation Review Fee, and Liability
Insurance Fee.
Fees that are partially refundable, according to the date of official withdrawal,
include the Laboratory / Equipment / Special Program / Distance Education / Physical
Education Service Fees.
Exceptions to the Refund Policy
Under very limited circumstances, students may request refunds after the end of the
refund periods. Requests are not considered for students who attended beyond the midpoint
of the semester, nor are they considered if they are submitted more than thirty days
following the end of the semester affected. If these time frames are met, the College
may make exceptions to the refund policies for students affected by serious illness,
who experience death in their immediate family, or are called to military service.
To be considered under these circumstances, students may submit the Request for a
Refund/Adjustment of Financial Liability form. The form is available on the student
portal at MySCCC and must be submitted to the office of the Associate Dean of Student Services on
the campus of attendance. Circumstances such as minor illness, general financial difficulties,
job changes or conflicts, and transportation issues, or complaints about course content
or instructional methodology are not sufficient to justify exceptions to the general
refund policy.
Special Refund Provisions for Federal Financial Aid Recipients
Federal financial aid, including loans, is recalculated for students who totally withdraw
before sixty (60) percent of the semester is complete to reflect the period of actual
attendance. For example, a student who attends for only thirty (30) percent of a semester
is entitled to only thirty (30) percent of the aid and/or loans awarded. As a result,
students whose accounts were credited with more than their adjusted aid award and/or
loan can owe the college money. When this occurs, students are billed and liable for
the amounts due. This process is known as Return of Title IV and is compliant by the
Department of Education.
In those cases where a student does not meet their financial obligation, the College
employs the service of collection agencies. If an account is sent to collections,
the student is responsible for all associated costs including interest, contingency
fees, legal fees, and administrative fees if the account is returned uncollected.
Fees associated with collection of a delinquent account can be as much as one-third
of the balance in default at the time of collection. Students with accounts in collection
will not be able to register for a future semester until their account is paid in
full.
We offer remote financial aid workshops and welcome all students, parents, and guidance
counselors who would like to learn more.
Funding Your Future: A Guide to Financial Aid provides participants with a general overview of the financial aid process, basic
eligibility requirements, types of aid programs available, and additional resources
for students.
How to Complete Your FAFSA takes participants step-by-step through all parts of the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA).
There are a number of changes in terminology, the application process, and the determination
of eligibility for federal aid programs.
Key Changes:
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is being replaced by the Student Aid Index
(SAI).
The term Contributor is anyone who is asked to provide information on the FAFSA -
student, student spouse, parent(s), and stepparent(s) for example. All contributors
will need to have an FSA ID.
All contributors are required to provide consent to have their 2023 IRS tax data imported
directly into the FAFSA. Consent is required even if a contributor did not file a
2023 federal tax return. If any contributor does not provide consent, the SAI will
not be calculated and financial aid eligibility cannot be determined.
In the case of divorced or separated parents, the contributor will be the parent who
provided the most financial support in the 12 months prior to completing the FAFSA.
For additional details on the changes and steps you can complete now, visit the Federal
Student Aid website Launch of the 2025-26 FAFSA Form.
To receive full consideration for all financial aid programs, we urge you to apply
by April 15 for the fall semester and by November 15 if you are entering in the spring
semester. For all the major financial aid programs, including PELL, SEOG, TAP, APTS,
loans, etc., follow these steps to apply:
All aid applicants must be matriculated in a degree or certificate program. Only courses
that are required for your degree program are eligible for financial aid.
You and your parent must obtain a FSA ID and password. The FSA ID serves as a legal
signature and should not be shared with anyone.
If you are creating a FSA ID for the first time, information must be verified with
the Social Security Administration, which can take up to three days. Once your information
is verified with Social Security Administration you will be able to use your FSA ID
to complete the FAFSA.
Visit studentaid.gov to create your FSA ID. Users without a Social Security Number should review important
instructions here.
Complete the FAFSA: File electronically at FAFSA on the web. Federal Student Aid has a number of Pro Tips available to guide you through the process. Our Title IV School Codes are:
002878 - Ammerman Campus
014153 - Eastern Campus
013204 - Grant Campus
If you are requesting a loan and you are a first time borrower at Suffolk County Community
College, you must complete an Entrance Interview either by using online loan counseling
at studentaid.gov or in person at your campus Financial Aid Office.
After you submit the FAFSA, apply for the New York State (NYS) aid at hesc.ny.gov.
To apply for a NYS Aid for Part-Time Study (APTS) award, you must complete an APTS
Application in addition to the FAFSA. Return the application and a signed copy of
your NY State Tax Return to your campus Financial Aid Office. If you are a dependent,
please also include your parent's return.
The SUNY Financial Aid Plan (FAP) will provide a more in-depth analysis and accurate
picture of student cost once the student has filed their FAFSA and has been accepted
by a campus.
Students who wish to withdraw from the College or change their status from full time
to part time must complete the Course Withdrawal form. All financial aid recipients are encouraged to contact their campus Financial
Aid office to discuss any potential impacts of enrollment changes on their financial
aid eligibility.
Students earn their federal financial aid throughout their period of enrollment.
Federal financial aid, including loans, is recalculated for students who withdraw
from all courses before the sixty (60) percent point of the semester. For example,
a student who attends for only thirty (30) percent of a semester is entitled to only
thirty (30) percent of the aid and/or loans awarded. If a faculty member reports
that a student did not attend their class(es) federal financial aid is withdrawn for
those courses.
A student who does not complete at least one course (grade of A, B, C, D, F, S, or
U), the student is considered an unofficial withdrawal for Title IV aid purposes.
SCCC will use the last date of attendance reported by the faculty; if no last date
of attendance is reported, the mid-point of the semester is used as the withdrawal
date. As this often results in a balance, the students are notified by USPS and sent
a revised bill.
General Academic Requirements for Financial Aid (Full-time and Part-time Students)
To receive financial aid from the student aid programs you must meet the following
conditions:
Have financial need (i.e., except for some loan programs)
Have a high school diploma or hold a NYS High School Equivalency Diploma (HSE - formerly
known as GED). As of July 1, 2012, students admitted under the Ability to Benefit
(ATB) are no longer eligible for Federal Aid
Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree or certificate program (i.e., matriculated
and taking courses applicable for that degree or certificate)
Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
Have a valid Social Security Number
Have filed and signed a statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) certifying that you will use federal student aid only for educational purposes
Neither be in default on a federal student loan nor owe money back on a federal student
grant
Meet the federal and state standards for satisfactory academic progress. Please click
the Maintaining Eligibility tab above.
Your eligibility also may be verified by government agencies as follows:
Social Security Administration for verification of social security numbers, correct
name, and U.S. citizenship status
Department of Homeland Security (Immigration and Naturalization Service) for verification
of eligible non-citizenship status, when applicable
Veterans Administration for verification of veteran's status, when applicable, to
determine dependent/independent status and discharge status
Department of Education to validate accuracy of financial information for all students
identified by U.S. Department of Education.
Students must be enrolled in a degree or certificate program (matriculated) to receive
financial aid.
To qualify for TAP, you must be halt-time (6 or more credits). First time recipients
who require remedial coursework must take at least three (3) college level credits,
and six (6) college level credits in all subsequent terms.
To qualify for APTS, students must enroll in at least three (3) college level credits
each semester.
State financial aid is not awarded for repeated courses for which you have received
a passing grade.
Financial aid is not awarded for courses that are being "audited."
Financial aid is awarded only for courses that are required for the student's degree
or certificate program. Financial aid does not cover prerequisites.
Students are expected to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards to maintain
financial aid eligibility. Refer to progress standards for Academic Progress charts.
Repeat Coursework
Federal financial aid will pay for only one repeat if you have previously earned credit
in a course with a passing grade (A, B, C, D, etc.). You are only eligible to receive
financial aid the first time the course is repeated. For example, if you are registered
for 12 credits, and one of your 3-credit courses is a third attempt (after receiving
a passing grade in an earlier attempt) your financial aid will be based on 9 credits
and you will not be able to receive aid based on full-time enrollment. A second repeat
is counted even if you received an incomplete grade.
State financial aid will not pay for repeated courses if you have previously earned
credit with a grade of A, B, C, D, etc.
Federal Requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress
To receive federal aid programs (Pell, SEOG, Work Study, Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized
student loans, and parent PLUS loans), students must achieve minimum progress standards.
Suffolk County Community College evaluates both qualitative and quantitative standards
at the conclusion of each payment period (i.e. fall, spring, summer). Students who
are not meeting the minimum progress standards are notified by email and their status
is displayed in the student portal. Students may appeal the determination. Refer to
the appeal information below the progress chart.
Qualitative Standards
The qualitative measurement is the student’s cumulative grade point average. SCCC
uses a graduated progression based on the number of credits attempted. Students must
achieve and maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 once they have attempted 46 credits.
Refer to the progress chart below for additional information.
Quantitative Standards
The quantitative measurement evaluates the student’s completion rate. Students are
expected to successfully pass 67% of their cumulative coursework. This completion
rate is measured by dividing the student’s cumulative credits passed by total attempted
credits.
Example 1: Student A has attempted 42 credits and earned 36. Student A's completion
rate is calculated using the following formula: 36 / 42 = 85.7%. Student A is meeting
the minimum requirement.
Example 2: Student B has attempted 24 credits and earned 15. Student B's completion
rate is calculated using the following formula: 15 / 24 = 62.5%. Student B is not
meeting the minimum 67% completion rate.
In addition to achieving a minimum completion rate of 67%, students are expected to
complete their degree requirements within a maximum time frame. Per federal regulations,
the maximum time frame is defined as 150% of the credits required for the degree program.
Example: Student C is enrolled in the Veterinary Science Technology program which
requires completion of 64 credits. The maximum time frame for student C is 96 attempted
credits (64 x 1.5 = 96).
The chart below outlines the number of credits a student must generally pass based
on the number of credits they have attempted. Please note, transfer credits accepted
to a student's current degree program are counted as both attempted and earned.
All withdrawals, after the add/drop (refund) period, including "unofficial withdrawals"
(no longer attending class), will be counted as attempts.
Students are allowed to receive financial aid for up 30 credit hours of remedial coursework.
The successful completion of remedial coursework is not counted toward the 150% completion
rule.

Appeals
Students not meeting minimum progress standards due to extenuating circumstances may
submit an appeal. Examples of extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited
to:
Student illness, injury, or other medical issue
Death of an immediate family member
Domestic violence or victim of a crime
Students may also appeal the maximum time frame. For example, a student may choose
to return for a second-degree program which often results in a student exceeding the
maximum time frame.
Students wishing to appeal the loss of financial aid, may submit the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form (available under Printable Forms) to their campus financial aid office. While SCCC makes every effort to review appeals
in a timely fashion, during peak processing times, it may take up to 30 days. Therefore,
students are encouraged to submit their appeal when they are notified about the loss
of eligibility.
NYS Requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress
NYS aid programs require students achieve minimum progress standards. There are different
progress standards depending on the NYS aid program the student received. The information
below is specific to the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). For details about other
NYS aid programs, such as Aid for Part-time Study (APTS) or Excelsior, students are
encouraged to contact their campus financial aid office.
To be eligible for subsequent TAP payments, students must achieve a minimum completion
rate, or pursuit of program, in the semester for which they receive a TAP payment.
The assessment of a student’s completion rate includes courses with grades of A through
F, S, U, and R. Grades of W, FN, and UN indicate the student did not complete the
course and is therefore excluded from the calculation.
The charts below display the minimum pursuit of program requirements. Students who
enrolled full-time and receiving TAP, the percentage applies to the minimum full-time
requirement (12 credits). Students enrolled part-time and receiving TAP, the percentage
applies to the minimum part-time requirement (6 credits).
In addition to pursuit of program requirements, students must accrue a minimum number
of college level credits based on the number of TAP payments received and maintain
a specific cumulative GPA. Students receiving part-time TAP awards are required to
maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA after their first payment.

Loans
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program
The Federal Direct Loan Programs (subsidized/unsubsidized) enable students (or parents)
to borrow funds from the federal government to help with educational costs. Under
the subsidized loan program, the federal government pays the interest while the student
is enrolled and during their grace period. Unsubsidized loans are available regardless
of financial need. Interest begins to accrue on the day the loan is disbursed, and
the student is responsible for interest accrued during in school and grace periods.
Interest payments can be paid monthly, quarterly, or be capitalized by the lender
and added to the loan principal.
Students may apply for a loan if they are enrolled in at least a half-time status
(6 credits or more) in their program of study.
Dependent freshman may borrow up to a maximum of $5,500 per year, the maximum increases
to $6,500 for sophomores (must have completed at least 32 credits at Suffolk County
Community College). The maximum subsidized loan amounts are $3,500 and $4,500 respectively,
additional funds would be unsubsidized.
Independent freshman may borrow up to a maximum of $9,500 per year, the maximum increases
to $10,500 for sophomores (must have completed at least 32 credits at Suffolk County
Community College). The maximum subsidized loan amounts are $3,500 and $4,500 respectively,
additional funds would be unsubsidized.
Loans proceeds are disbursed in two installments, generally one in the Fall term and
one in the Spring term.
Loan repayment begins six months after a borrower graduates, withdraws or ceases attending
half time.
For more information regarding loan repayment and an estimate of your estimated monthly
payments, visit studentaid.gov.
Students who are not automatically offered a student loan may still request one by
completing the Student Loan Request/Adjustment from on our website and submitting
to their campus financial aid office for eligibility determination
First time borrowers must complete an entrance interview and a Master Promissory Note
at studentaid.gov.
The Department of Education will send borrowers a loan disclosure notice which indicates
your loan approval and/or denial as well as the type and amounts of your loans.
Federal Parent Loan (PLUS)
Parents of a dependent student enrolled at least half-time can borrow the cost of
the student’s education less any financial aid awarded
Interest accrues when the loan is received
Repayment begins within 60 days of the loan disbursement

to determine what other types of federal aid may be available
After student has received the results of the FAFSA, student must file the PLUS Loan Request
Students must be in good academic standing and maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress
(SAP) standards.
Exit Interview
Upon completing your studies or ceasing half-time enrollment, you must complete an
exit interview. This may be done at studentaid.gov or in person at your campus financial aid office. The exit interview covers:
average anticipated monthly repayment amounts

Education Credits - 529 Savings Plan
American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC)
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), more parents and students
will qualify for the American Opportunity Tax Credit to help pay for college expenses.
The American Opportunity Tax Credit is a modification of the existing Hope Credit.
The AOTC makes credit available to a broader range of taxpayers, including many with
higher incomes and those who owe no tax. It also adds required course materials to
the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four post-secondary
education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum
annual credit of $2,500 per student.
The full credit is available to individuals, whose modified adjusted gross income
is $80,000 or less, or $160,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return.
The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these levels. Unlike the
other education tax credits, the AOTC includes expenses for course-related books,
supplies and equipment that are not necessarily paid to the educational institution.
It also differs from the Hope scholarship credit because it allows the credit to be
claimed for four years of post-secondary education instead of two.
It is a tax credit of up to $2,500 of the cost of tuition, fees and course materials
paid during the taxable year. Also, 40% of the credit (up to $1,000) is refundable.
This means you can get it even if you owe no tax. For the AOTC, qualified expenses
have been expanded to include expenditures for course materials, as well as tuition
and required fees. For this purpose, the term "course materials" means books, supplies
and equipment needed for a course of study whether or not the materials are purchased
from the educational institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance. The American
Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the AOTC for five years through December 2017.
If you still have questions about the American Opportunity Tax Credit, these questions and answers might help.
Lifetime Learning Credit
The lifetime learning credit helps parents and students pay for post-secondary education.
For the tax year, you may be able to claim a lifetime learning credit of up to $2,000
for qualified education expenses paid for all students enrolled in eligible educational
institutions. There is no limit on the number of years the lifetime learning credit
can be claimed for each student. However, a taxpayer cannot claim both the American
Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credits for the same student in one year.
Thus, the Lifetime Learning Credit may be particularly helpful to graduate students,
students who are only taking one course and those who are not pursuing a degree.
Generally, you can claim the lifetime learning credit if all three of the following
requirements are met:
You pay qualified education expenses of higher education.
You pay the education expenses for an eligible student.
The eligible student is yourself, your spouse or a dependent for which you claim an
exemption on your tax return.
If you pay qualified education expenses for more than one student in the same year,
you can choose to take credits on a per-student, per-year basis. This means that,
for example, you can claim the American Opportunity Credit for one student and the
Lifetime Learning Credit for another student in the same year.
529 Plan (New York Saves)
New York, like most states offers a 529 Plan which is designed to assist people in
saving for college costs. The plan allows you to contribute funds to an account for
a beneficiary for educational related expenses, including tuition and fees and certain
room and board cost. The funds are managed by Vanguard, and the account owner can
choose from a range of investment options.

federally tax deferred. Qualified withdrawals are federally tax-free. New York State

for married filers) on their New Your State tax return. Additional information is

learning barriers. We attempt to provide as typical a college experience as is possible,
encouraging students to achieve academically through the provision of special services,
auxiliary aids, or reasonable program modifications. The main objectives are to:
insure that students with disabilities have equal access to all programs and services
of the institution;
promote independence and preparation for entry into a competitive society;
facilitate the development of self-advocacy skills; and
assist students to transfer skills learned in the classroom to the world at large.
Accessibility
All major buildings on the three campuses are physically accessible. It should be
noted that the Ammerman Campus is hilly, and as a result, wheelchair attendants may
be needed during the winter months. Automatic doors have been installed in all major
campus buildings. Adequate handicapped parking is available on all three campuses.
Voter Registration Information
National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)
Suffolk County Community College encourages all students to vote in local, state and
national elections.
Suffolk County Community College’s Disability Services Offices are approved as National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) voter registration sites.
The National Voter Registration Act allows individuals to register to vote at numerous New York State agencies. This
component of the National Voter Registration Act is called the "Agency-Based Voter Registration Program", and it provides registration opportunities when applying for services or assistance
at state agencies.
The College’s Disability Services Offices have voter registration forms available.
Information may be obtained by calling, 1 800 FOR-VOTE (1 (800) 367-8673) or, by filling
out the on-line voter application request form; National Voter Registration Act.
How to Obtain Disability Services
Documentation Guidelines: The following guidelines apply to requests for academic reasonable accommodations
(also referred to as academic adjustments). Students must self-identify to the Office
of Disability Services and supply appropriate documentation prior to the approval
or use of accommodations. Accommodations are available to students in face-to-face,
combined online and online courses. Students are encouraged to submit documentation
as soon as possible; accommodations are not retroactive. No student should delay in
contacting Disability Services out of concern for not having the appropriate documentation.
Determinations on individual documentation needs can be discussed by contacting the
Office.
Appropriate documentation will establish a current disability and enough supporting
information to allow for a determination of what is an appropriate accommodation.
Generally, documentation should be no more than three years old.
Types of Documentation All documentation information students can share is helpful. Documentation can include:
Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or 504 Plans* AND
Recent psychological or psychoeducation evaluations OR
Letters from appropriate medical doctors or psychologists
*IEPs and 504 Plans may be helpful in identifying services that have been effective
for you previously but are generally not sufficient documentation to support the existence
of a disability and the need for an accommodation in the College setting, standing
alone, because of the differences between high school education and college education.
What you need to meet the new demands of postsecondary education may be different
from what worked for you in high school (see the US Department of Education Office
for Civil Rights transition guidance.) Also, in some cases, the nature of a disability may change.
All documentation provided by a third party must be prepared by a person (not a family
member of the student) who is qualified by professional training and practice to diagnose
and treat the impairment leading to the disability. Documentation should be on letterhead
of the practitioner or agency employing the practitioner.
Additional documentation may be required depending on the range and variability of
functional limitations within any given disability or when additional/new accommodations
are requested.
Content of Documentation
As appropriate to the disability, documentation should include:
Diagnostic Statement: A diagnostic statement identifying the specific disability, including identification
of how the condition substantially limits a major life activity, the date of the current
evaluation, and the date of original diagnosis. Psychiatric diagnoses, including ADHD,
must include the DSM diagnosis and a summary of current symptoms. Clear identification
of a disability is necessary. Language indicating individual learning styles or difficulties,
or the possibility of a disability or diagnosis is not sufficient.
Diagnostic Criteria and Tests: A description of the diagnostic criteria or diagnostic tests used. All test and subtest
scores must be included as standard scores and the norming population identified.
Diagnosis of a Learning Disability may include comprehensive psychoeducational assessment
of aptitude, academic achievement, and information processing. Where appropriate and
relevant, psychoeducational or neuropsychological testing measures may also be required
to support requests based on limitations of cognitive or perceptual functioning such
as ADHD, psychiatric, and some medical disabilities. Evaluations must be of sufficiently
recent occurrence to allow determination of the current impact of the disability in
the college academic environment.
Functional Impact: A description of the functional impact of the disability is needed. The current functional
impact on physical, perceptual, and/or cognitive functioning should be described.
Treatments: Currently prescribed treatments, medications, assistive devices, and auxiliary aids
or services may be described. Description should include all currently in use and
their estimated effectiveness in ameliorating the impact of the disability. Significant
side effects that may affect physical, perceptual, or cognitive functioning should
be identified and described.
Recommendations: Recommendations for modifications, auxiliary aids and/or services and accommodations
should be supported by objective evidence of a substantial limitation to learning,
living, or working in a postsecondary academic environment (as appropriate). Prior
use of academic adjustments and level of benefit should be identified. If no academic
adjustments have been used in the past, a rationale for current use is helpful. Subjective
evidence (student report) of the efficacy of academic adjustments and/or auxiliary
aids or services, or accommodations will also be considered. Not all accommodations
recommended in an IEP or medical documentation are appropriate in a College setting.
All approved accommodations will be reviewed with the student during their meeting
with the Disability Counselor.
Confidentiality
Disability documentation is considered confidential information and does not become
part of a student's permanent educational record. In accordance with federal and state
law, the College shall maintain confidentiality of student records. For example, this
documentation and information is not shared with the faculty members of courses in
which the student is enrolled. All documentation and records will be maintained in
the Office of the Disability Services and may include electronic records.

Matriculated status is granted to every student who is admitted into a degree or certificate
program at Suffolk County Community College. Matriculation assures a student that
the requirements for a particular program which are in effect at the time of matriculation
will remain in effect until that student graduates.
Matriculated students may attend classes on a part-time (1-11.5 credits per semester)
or full-time (12 or more credits per semester) basis and may schedule their classes
during the days, evenings, weekends, or online on any of the college's three campuses.
Students must request permission from the Campus Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
to enroll in more than 18 credits. To be eligible for financial aid, students must be matriculated and taking courses
required for or applicable to their current degree program.
Loss of matriculation occurs if the student:
applied and was accepted to the College, but never attended.
was matriculated in a program with limited seat availability (including but not limited
to Automotive Service Specialist, Automotive Business, Automotive Maintenance and
Light Repair, Emergency Medical Technician: Paramedic, Nursing, Occupational Therapy
Assistant, Physical Therapist Assistant, Practical Nursing, Surgical Technology, Toyota
T-TEN Automotive Service, and Veterinary Science Technology) and did not attend during
the semester of acceptance (excluding wintersession and summer session).
did not enroll in credit-bearing courses at the College for two or more consecutive
semesters (excluding wintersession and summer session).
was academically dismissed or if the student's matriculation status was rescinded
for academic reasons.
graduated from Suffolk and is not subsequently pursuing an additional degree or certificate.
Non-Matriculated Status
Non-matriculated status is assigned to any student who wishes to take classes at Suffolk
County Community College but who has not been admitted into a degree or certificate
program or for a student who has lost matriculation status. Non-matriculated students
can register for up to 18 credits per semester within the College's credit limit policies,
such as limitations within academic warning, academic dismissal, developmental education,
and part-time only programs. Students who have been dismissed can enroll in 1 through
11.5 credits per semester. Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial
aid.
Non-matriculated students must apply for admission or readmission to continue in a
program and are required to follow the curriculum requirements for the term of application.
Some programs may no longer be offered by the time of readmittance. Students who have
previously attended Suffolk, but were academically dismissed, must see a Campus Associate
Dean of Academic Affairs for evaluation of readmitting into a program.
Change of Degree, Certificate or Option
A matriculated student changes his/her curriculum for the forthcoming semester by
submitting a Records Change Form to the Campus Registrar's Office. Students who want to change to a restricted curriculum should consult the catalog for admission criteria and submit an admission application through www.sunysuffolk.edu/apply.
Leave of Absence
Students enrolled in a restricted program with limited seat availability should follow
the program's Leave of Absence procedures if they are planning to leave Suffolk for
one or more semesters. While an approved leave does not guarantee a student a seat
in the program upon returning, it does maintain the student's date of matriculation
and give the student preference ahead of any new students if a seat is available.
Contact the appropriate academic department for further information.
Readmission
Students in "good academic standing" who have previously attended Suffolk County Community
College and wish to return should contact the Campus Admissions Office for additional
information at least several weeks prior to the beginning of the expected semester
of re-entry. There is no guarantee of readmission to a specific program for a student
who has withdrawn or been dropped from that program. Students who have previously
attended Suffolk, but are not in good academic standing, must see a Campus Associate
Dean of Academic Affairs.
Course Registration and Prerequisite Policies
Registration and Records
The Campus Registrar's Offices assist students with all activities related to their
registration for classes, including adding and dropping classes and withdrawal from
classes during the semester. Additional services include verifying student enrollment
and academic status for insurance, financial aid and veteran benefits, and student
class schedules. The Central Records Office maintains academic records for all students,
verifies degree status for employment, evaluates eligibility for graduation, and certifies
and mails official college transcripts.
Prerequisite Policy
All course prerequisite requirements must be met and verified by students prior to
registration. This condition will be considered provisionally satisfied for registration
purposes when it is assumed that these courses will be successfully completed prior
to the start of courses that require the in-progress courses as prerequisites and
with the provision that students will be deregistered if these courses are not successfully
completed.
Matriculated students who have submitted documentation of prior high school and college
experience will automatically be allowed or disallowed registration based on the presence
or absence of prerequisite requirements in their histories. Whenever a student's history
could include transfer courses or examination scores (such as Advanced Placement test
scores) that would fulfill prerequisite requirements, it is the student's responsibility
to ensure that this information is entered into his or her history by requesting a
transfer evaluation in advance of registration.
Non-matriculated students, or other students who have not submitted documentation
of prior high school and college experience, must submit a Prerequisite Waiver Request Form to an Academic Dean who has been identified by an Executive Dean as having responsibility
for reviewing such requests. Students seeking prerequisite waivers must verify that
they have met prerequisites by submitting high school or college transcripts, taking
and passing proficiency examinations, or providing other documentation that may be
deemed relevant, such as, SAT, ACT, and NYS Regents Examination scores. Students who
do not have these documents will be given the Computerized Placement Test (CPT) to
provide guidelines for placement.
Non-matriculated students registering for courses online are directed to email or
fax the Prerequisite Waiver Request Form and copies of high school and college transcripts
and other relevant documentation to an appropriate academic dean. Based on the evidence
provided and the course placement guidelines, the Academic Dean will approve or reject
the requested prerequisite waiver.
Grading Policies
Grading System
Semester grades are available to students on their unofficial transcript after the
end of each semester. The instructor’s analysis of each student’s academic achievement
will be in accordance with the following grading system: A 90%-100% B+ 85%-89% B 80%-84% C+ 75%-79% C 70%-74% D+ 65%-69% D 60%-64% F 59% or below
Students receiving grades of U/UN/R/INC/F/FN or a W (withdrawal) may affect a student's
academic progress and can result in a student being placed on academic warning, dismissal,
and/or losing financial aid. Students will be deregistered from courses where a prerequisite
was not successfully completed due to a U/UN/R/INC/F/FN/W, or other grade as required
by the course.
Suffolk County Community College does not offer pass/fail grades as part of the grading
system.
FN (Failure Due to Attendance) The FN grade is given at the discretion of faculty and indicates a failing grade due
to lack of attendance. The FN is equivalent to an F in grade point average computations.
INC (Incomplete) Students who are ill or are unable for other valid reasons to complete the semesters
work may at the discretion of the instructor receive an INC on their transcript. All
work must be completed within the first four weeks of the subsequent semester; otherwise
the INC will automatically become an F or will become a U for students in a remedial
course.
S (Satisfactory) This grade is given only for developmental courses, which do not satisfy degree requirements:
RDG096, RDG098, RDG099, ENG009, ENG010, ENG011, ENG012, ESL011, ESL012, ESL013, ESL014,
ESL015, ESL016, ESL017, ESL018, MAT001 and MAT001L. The S grade indicates successful
completion of the course, but is not used in grade point average computation. SA, SB, SC These grades are used for MAT006, MAT007, MAT007L, and MAT009 only, which are developmental
courses and do not satisfy degree requirements. SA = 90%-100% SB = 80%-89% SC = 70%-79% S grades are not used in grade point average computations.
U (Unsatisfactory) This grade is given only for developmental courses, which do not satisfy degree requirements:
MAT001, MAT001L, MAT006, MAT007, MAT007L, MAT009, RDG096, RDG098, RDG099, ENG009,
ENG010, ENG011, ENG012, ESL011, ESL012, ESL013, ESL014, ESL015, ESL016, ESL017, and
ESL018. The U grade indicates the course was not successfully completed and is not
used in grade point average computations.
UN (Unsatisfactory Due To Attendance) This grade is given only for developmental courses, which do not satisfy degree requirements:
MAT001, MAT001L, MAT006, MAT007, MAT007L, MAT009, RDG096, RDG098, RDG099, ENG009,
ENG010, ENG011, ENG012, ESL011, ESL012, ESL013, ESL014, ESL015, ESL016, ESL017, and
ESL018. The UN grade is given at the discretion of faculty and indicates an unsatisfactory
grade due to lack of attendance for a developmental course. The UN grade indicates
the course was not successfully completed and is not used in grade point average computations.
R (Repeat) This grade is given only for developmental courses, which do not satisfy degree requirements:
MAT001, MAT001L, MAT006, MAT007, MAT007L, MAT009, RDG096, RDG098, RDG099, ENG009,
ENG010, ENG011, ENG012, ESL011, ESL012, ESL013, ESL014, ESL015, ESL016, ESL017, and
ESL018. The R grade indicates the need for a student to re-register for the same course
in a subsequent semester, usually because the student, while making progress in that
course, has not yet completed all the course requirements. The R grade is not used
in grade point average computations.
W (Withdrawal) A student may withdraw from a course and receive a W any time up to the withdrawal
deadline, which is the end of two-thirds of the semester or term. After this deadline,
a student may appeal to the Campus Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for a course
withdrawal if the student has experienced unforeseen or extenuating circumstances. The W is not considered a grade and is not used in grade point average computations.
AUD (Audit) To audit a course, a student must notify the Campus Registrar while registering and
paying for that course in accord with normal registration procedures. When a student
audits a course, a grade of “AUD” will be recorded and no academic credit will be
given. An auditor, by definition, is not required to take tests, write term papers
or submit homework assignments, but is expected to participate in class to the extent
deemed reasonable and necessary by the instructor. A student must inform the instructor
at the first class meeting of his or her intention to take the course on an audit
basis. Once this intention is stated, the student may not change from audit to credit
status. Because some courses may be inappropriate for auditing, students should consult
with the appropriate academic administrator before registering.
NOTE: Audited courses are not eligible for financial aid. Seniors: Suffolk County residents
60 years of age or older pay fees but no tuition.
Grade Change/Grade Grievance
Students who believe they have received an incorrect grade should first discuss this
matter with their instructor. If he or she agrees with the student's request, the
instructor will submit a change of grade form to the Campus Associate Dean of Academic
Affairs. All faculty approved requests for grade changes must be made within two years
of completion of the course. Changes submitted beyond two years require Executive
Dean review.
A student may appeal an instructor's decision not to change a grade through the Course Grade Grievance Procedure, which must be initiated within the first three weeks of the semester following the
semester in which the student took the course. This four-step procedure, which is
outlined in the student handbook, continues, if necessary, through ascending levels
of administrative authority. If this grievance is not resolved at the faculty, academic
chair, or associate dean levels, the student may present his or her case in writing
to the Executive Dean. Within ten calendar days of receipt of the student's written
request, the Executive Dean may convene a committee to hear the grievance and to provide
written recommendations. Students who have questions about the Grade Grievance Procedure
should consult with the appropriate departmental office or dean.
Academic Standing
Grade Point Averages
A system of points is used to assess the quality of each students work for a semester
or more and is computed as a cumulative grade point average. Grades earned by students
have a numerical quality value as follows:
Quality Points
Grade Per Credit Hour
A
4.0
B+
3.5
B
3.0
C+
2.5

A cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of quality
points received by the number of credit hours earned. For example, a student who has
earned 30 credit hours and has received a total of 60 quality points has a cumulative
grade point average of 2.0. The following factors must also be taken into consideration:
a. When transfer credits are granted for courses no quality points or grades are awarded;
hence, such credits do not affect the cumulative grade point average at Suffolk County
Community College.
b. A college-level course may be repeated one time. All course grades are retained
on the student's transcript. For repeated courses, only the highest grade will count
toward the cumulative grade point average and credit hours received by the student.
A withdrawal is not considered a course attempt for this policy, however, the "W"
grade will remain on the transcript. Contact the campus Office of Financial Aid to
determine if the repeated course is covered by financial aid.
Academic Review
a. Following a change of curriculum or option, those courses with grades of D+, D, FN and F that are specific to the old curriculum
and not applicable to the new curriculum or applicable only as unrestricted electives,
will be excluded in calculating the new cumulative grade point average, although all
courses for which a student registers will appear on the transcript. It is the student's
responsibility to petition the Campus Office of Academic Affairs to have his/her average
computed. A student may have this rule applied to only one change of curriculum or
option at the College.
b. A student who is readmitted to Suffolk County Community College after an absence of two or more consecutive
semesters and has successfully completed 12 credits after readmission with a 2.0 average, may
petition the Campus Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for a review
of his/her previous Suffolk County Community College transcript. The transcript will
be reviewed and grades of D+, D, FN and F will be eliminated from computation of the
grade point average, although all such courses will continue to appear on the transcript.
This readmission review will be permitted only once before graduation.
Note: Once a student has authorized an academic review as described as an option above,
he/she indicates an understanding and acceptance of the principle that when courses
with D and D+ are excluded from calculation of the grade point average, the excluded
courses and credits do not count toward graduation. An academic review includes ALL
grades of D+, D, FN and F. Once implemented, the actions taken pursuant to this policy
are not revocable.
Academic Standing
Students are considered to be in good academic standing unless they have been academically
dismissed and their matriculation status has been rescinded.
Academic Warning (effective Fall 2022)
The previous Academic Probation policy will apply to student performance in Spring
2022. This policy can be found under the 2020-2022 College Catalog
Once a student attempts 12 resident credits, the College may place students on Academic
Warning subject to academic dismissal if they fail to maintain a minimum grade point
average.
Both full-time and part-time students will be placed on Academic Warning according
to the standards outlined in this section. Students placed on Academic Warning do
not lose their good academic standing. However, they must raise their cumulative grade
point average sufficiently to remove themselves from Academic Warning.
Any full-time student who is placed on Academic Warning for two consecutive semesters
will be dismissed at the end of the second semester. Any part-time student placed
on Academic Warning for three consecutive semesters will be academically dismissed
at the end of the third semester. Dismissed students lose their matriculation status
and can enroll in no more than 11.5 credits.
These standards may be waived when such action is deemed by the Campus Associate Dean
of Academic Affairs to be in the best interest of the student. Students who are academically
dismissed may appeal as indicated under "Academic Dismissal."
Any student will automatically be placed on Academic Warning if he/she fails to meet
the grade point average as outlined in the following criteria:
Credit Hours Attempted
Minimum Cumulative GPA (Grade Point Average)
12-15
1.6
16-30
1.7
31-45
1.8
46 or more
2.0
A student will remain on academic warning unless subsequent academic performance removes
him/her from Academic Warning status or if they are academically dismissed. Full-time
students on Academic Warning may not register for more than 14 credits. Students on
Academic Warning are required to see an academic advisor or counselor. Academic Warning
is noted on the student’s unofficial transcript.
Academic Dismissal (effective Fall 2022)
Any full-time student who is placed on Academic Warning for two consecutive semesters
will be dismissed at the end of the second semester. Any part-time student placed
on Academic Warning for three consecutive semesters will be academically dismissed
at the end of the third semester. Dismissed students lose their matriculation status,
and can enroll in no more than 11.5 credits. A student who is academically dismissed
may still take classes at SCCC on a part time, non-matriculated basis. Academic Dismissal
will be noted on the student’s unofficial and official transcript. Students who are
dismissed have the right to appeal if they feel an error has been made or other extenuating
circumstances exist. Appeal for reinstatement is made in writing to the Campus Office
of Academic Affairs. Appeals for reinstatement are considered by the campus Academic
Appeals Board and/or the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Should the appeal be
granted, the student shall be reinstated with Academic Warning status. A student thus
readmitted will be “in good academic standing” with Academic Warning status.
Attendance Policy
Regular attendance is considered essential for academic success. Students are expected
to attend every class session, no matter the modality, of each course for which they
are registered. Excessive absences may have a negative impact on a student’s academic
performance and/or eligibility for financial aid.
Each instructor must provide an attendance policy in the course syllabus, allowing
for a minimum of one week’s worth of absences including absences due to illness or
other unforeseen circumstances. For example, if a class meets twice a week in a 15-week
term, a student must be entitled to at least two absences. The equivalent of one week
may differ depending on the length of the term.
The College defines attendance in online courses as regular participation in course-related
activities, which may include, but is not limited to: contributing to online discussion,
engaging in virtual live instruction (when applicable), submitting an assignment,
taking a quiz or exam, viewing and/or completing a tutorial, or communicating with
a faculty member regarding course content. Logging into an online class is not sufficient,
by itself, to demonstrate attendance or participation by the student.
Students absent from a class for any reason are responsible for any missed work and
any other relevant requirements stated in the course syllabus. In the event that a
student is absent, it is always recommended that the student contact the instructor
to discuss missed work and class content.
Federal financial aid regulations require the College to report a student’s last date
of attendance for each course; in most cases faculty will be asked to confirm this
date. Consequently, faculty must take attendance at each class meeting.
In accordance with New York State Education Law, Section 224-a, any student who is
unable, because of religious beliefs, to register or attend classes on a particular
day or days will be excused from any examination, study, or work requirements [scheduled
on that day]. It is the responsibility of the faculty to make available [to the student]
an equivalent opportunity to make up any examination, study, or work requirements
within a reasonable amount of time of the religious observance. It is the responsibility
of students to notify their professor at least one week prior to the religious observance,
via their College email accounts or otherwise in writing, of their intention to be
absent from class.
Religious Observance Policy and Procedures
Beginning in the fall of 2018, the College implemented a secular calendar in order
to treat all religious observances equitably and to minimize disruptions to class
schedules. The College adopted a Religious Observance Policy and Procedures to complement
the implementation of a secular calendar.
As provided for in New York State Education Law § 224-a, student absences from class
necessitated by religious observance will be deemed an excused absence, with no academic
consequences. Students must notify their professor in advance of their religious observance,
via their College email accounts or otherwise in writing, of their intention to be
absent from a particular class due to a religious observance; notification should
occur at least one week prior to the religious observance. Observing students shall
be granted reasonable arrangements and/or be permitted a reasonable amount of time
to make up missed quizzes, tests, assignments, and activities covered in their absence.
Please refer to the College’s Religious Observance Policy and Procedures, which are
available on the College Academic Calendar webpage, for additional information. Religious Observance FAQs are also available online for additional information.
New York State Education Law § 224-A
No person shall be expelled from or be refused admission as a student to an institution
of higher education for the reason that he or she is unable, because of his or her
religious beliefs, to register or attend classes or to participate in any examination,
study or work requirements on a particular day or days.
Any student in an institution of higher education who is unable, because of his or
her religious beliefs, to attend classes on a particular day or days shall, because
of such absence on the particular day or days, be excused from any examination or
any study or work requirements.
It shall be the responsibility of the faculty and of the administrative officials
of each institution of higher education to make available to each student who is absent
from school, because of his or her religious beliefs, an equivalent opportunity to
register for classes or make up any examination, study or work requirements which
he or she may have missed because of such absence on any particular day or days. No
fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to the said
student such equivalent opportunity.
If registration, classes, examinations, study or work requirements are held on Friday
after four o’clock post meridian or on Saturday, similar or makeup classes, examinations,
study or work requirements or opportunity to register shall be made available on other
days, where it is possible and practicable to do so. No special fees shall be charged
to the student for these classes, examinations, study or work requirements or registration
held on other days.
In effectuating the provisions of this section, it shall be the duty of the faculty
and of the administrative officials of each institution of higher education to exercise
the fullest measure of good faith. No adverse or prejudicial effects shall result
to any student because of his or her availing himself or herself of the provisions
of this section.
Any student, who is aggrieved by the alleged failure of any faculty or administrative
officials to comply in good faith with the provisions of this section, shall be entitled
to maintain an action or proceeding in the supreme court of the county in which such
institution of higher education is located for the enforcement of his or her rights
under this section.
6-a It shall be the responsibility of the administrative officials of each institution
of higher education to give written notice to students of their rights under this
section, informing that each student who is absent from school, because of his or
her religious beliefs, must be given an equivalent opportunity to register for classes
or make up any examination, study or work requirements which he or she may have missed
because of such absence on any particular day or days. No fees of any kind shall be
charged by the institution for making available to such student such equivalent opportunity.
As used in this section, the term "institution of higher education" shall mean any
institution of higher education, recognized and approved by the Regents of the University
of the State of New York, which provides a course of study leading to the granting
of a post-secondary degree or diploma. Such term shall not include any institution
which is operated, supervised or controlled by a church or by a religious or denominational
organization whose educational programs are principally designed for the purpose of
training ministers or other religious functionaries or for the purpose of propagating
religious doctrines. As used in this section, the term "religious belief" shall mean
beliefs associated with any corporation organized and operated exclusively for religious
purposes, which is not disqualified for tax exemption under section 501 of the United
States Code.
Withdrawal Policy
A student may withdraw from a course and receive a W any time between the end of the
add/drop period and the withdrawal deadline, which is the end of two-thirds of the
part of term.
After this deadline, a student may appeal to the Campus Associate Dean of Academic
Affairs for a course withdrawal if the student has experienced unforeseen or extenuating
circumstances. The student must obtain an acknowledgment from the faculty via signature
and then submit the Appeal for Course Withdrawal form to the Campus Associate Dean
of Academic Affairs no later than:
For the 15-week term, seven business days before end of term.
For the 10-week term, five business days before the end of term.
For terms less than 10 weeks, three business days before the end of term.
If a student drops a course(s) prior to the end of the add/drop period, the student’s
academic record will not reflect these courses. After the end of the add/drop period,
if a student is officially withdrawn from a course, a “W” will be reflected for that
course on their academic record. Withdrawal from a course is considered an “unsuccessful
course attempt” and may negatively impact financial aid and satisfactory progress
requirements.
Official withdrawal from the College means that a student voluntarily separates from
the College by dropping all courses at any time during the academic term.
Withdrawal forms can be found on the college website or in OneLogin.
NOTE: An exception to the Withdrawal Policy is when a student is seeking a . This action is managed exclusively through the Campus Associate Dean of Student
Affairs office and requires medical documentation for consideration.
Academic Integrity
The SCCC Student Code of Conduct includes integrity as a core value and expects ethical
decision-making by students in college and in their future professions. The Code prohibits
academic misconduct, which includes any action that results in students giving or
receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise. Academic exercises include
all forms of work submitted for credit. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited
to:
Cheating
Dishonesty in an academic exercise, including unauthorized use of textbooks, notes,
mobile devices, or other sources.
Plagiarism
Using another’s words or ideas without crediting the source; or presenting another’s
work as your own.
Complicity
Intentionally helping a student(s) to commit an act of academic misconduct.
Misrepresentation and Forgery
The forgery of information or documents, or the misrepresentation of a student identity
to affect an academic exercise, grade, etc.
Most academic misconduct incidents are resolved directly between the faculty member
and the student. When appropriate, academic misconduct may be addressed by the Campus
Associate Dean of Student Affairs. The Student Code of Conduct provides detailed information
and possible consequences for academic misconduct. If students believe they have been
wrongly accused of academic misconduct, they may pursue the matter through the Course Grade Grievance Procedure after the final grade for the course has been recorded on the transcript.

Seminar requirement may be waived for students who complete 12 credit hours of transferable
college-level work on a college campus prior to enrolling at Suffolk County Community
College. Students who complete at least half of their work as part-time students or
full-time evening students may also waive the college seminar requirement.
Substitution/Waiver of Degree Requirement
On a limited basis, students may submit substitution/waiver forms to the appropriate
academic chair for their review and approval. These are then sent for approval to
the appropriate Campus Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Requests for substitutions
will be evaluated based on the equivalence of the proposed substitution to the curriculum
requirement. The necessary forms for requesting a waiver or substitution of a course
to meet degree requirements can be obtained from the campus academic departments and/or
the Campus Office of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs.
Honor Designations/Societies
Dean's List
Outstanding scholastic achievement at Suffolk County Community College is recognized
each semester by the compilation of the Dean’s List. Full-time matriculated students
who have completed a minimum of 12 credit hours during the semester with no incompletes
and a semester grade point average of 3.5 or higher qualify for the Dean's List. This
academic achievement is noted on the student's permanent record.
NOTE: Developmental courses do not qualify because they do not carry credit towards
the GPA.
Graduation "With Distinction" and "With Highest Distinction"
Students of the graduating class who have attained at least a 3.5 cumulative grade
point average are graduated "with distinction". Those students who have attained at least a 3.8 cumulative grade point average are
graduated "with highest distinction". An academic achievement of "with distinction" or "with highest distinction" is noted
on the student's permanent record. Furthermore, students who graduate having completed
either the Honors Program Diploma Sequence or Recognition Sequence have this academic honor noted on their permanent record.
Pi Alpha Sigma
Pi Alpha Sigma is a college honors designation. Students who have achieved a 3.5 cumulative
grade point average, with no incomplete grades, and have completed at least 36 credits
at Suffolk County Community College receive this designation. This academic designation
is also noted on the student's permanent record.
Students' use of cell phones, computers and other electronic devices during classes
may be regulated according to course policies established by individual instructors.
Misuse of such devices may subject students to provisions of the Student Code of Conduct
relating to disruptive classroom behavior. Unsanctioned use of such devices may carry
serious penalties, including but not limited to course failure or dismissal from the
College. Exceptions may apply to students with documented disabilities who may need
to use a device as an approved accommodation.
Student Identification Card
All students are required to obtain and carry a College photo identification card.
The ID card is needed to access library and computer center services, and for use
with the College’s meal plan. It must be presented in College offices in order to
receive services. Schedule and locations of ID card stations can be found on the College
website. Replacement cards are available for a cost of $15. Once the semester begins,
enrolled students without a Suffolk County Community College ID card will be billed
a $30 non-compliance fee and will be denied services until the card is obtained. Photographs
for ID cards are taken in the following locations:
Ammerman Campus Registrar's Office, Ammerman Building Campus Activities, Babylon Student Center Public Safety, Kreiling Hall
Eastern Campus Information Desk, Peconic Building
Michael J. Grant Campus Registrar's Office - Caumsett Hall Public Safety, North Cottage
Student Code of Conduct
The college community is committed to fostering a campus environment that is conducive
to academic inquiry, a productive campus life and thoughtful study and discourse.
The student conduct program within the Division of Student Affairs is committed to
an educational and developmental process that balances the interests of individual
students with the interests of the college community.
The Student Code of Conduct prohibits certain behavior related to the use of the College
technology resources and requires compliance with College policies. The full policy
can be obtained from the Associate Dean of Student Affairs office on each campus,
or in the Information Technology Policies and Guidelines.
The policy requires users to respect the rights of others, avoid activities that burden
system resources or introduce viruses, and protect the secrecy of passwords. Users
are also prohibited from engaging in a variety of listed activities. The policy includes
provisions on privacy rights, monitoring of use and sanctions for violations. All
technology users are responsible for knowing the college's policy and adhering to
the guidelines and restrictions contained within them.
Suffolk County Community College's official web-based college portal (OneLogin) and
student email accounts are an official means of communication to all full-and part-time
students enrolled in credit-bearing classes. All such students are required to activate
their student portal and email accounts. Official College communications may include,
but are not limited to, registration information, financial aid information and other
financial statements, student health compliance information and academic progress
notifications.
The College expects that students shall receive and read their electronic communications
on a frequent and timely basis. Failure to do so shall not absolve the student from
knowing of and complying with the contents of all electronic communications, some
of which will be time-critical.
A Medical Leave may be granted, upon request, to any matriculated student who is unable
to attend classes for an extended period of time due to a documented illness, injury,
or medical or psychological condition. Under the aforementioned circumstances, a Medical
Leave may be granted to a student who is forced to withdraw during a semester as well
as to a student who is unable to enroll in a subsequent semester. To request a Medical
Leave, students should follow the procedure outlined below.
Request a Medical Leave, in writing during the semester they withdraw, from the Campus
Associate Dean of Student Services. The request must indicate the medical reason and
the period of the leave. Documentation by a physician or other appropriate health
care provider is required.
In the event that a student is incapable of requesting a leave himself/herself, the
request may be submitted by a parent, spouse, or other appropriate individual. In
such cases, documentation of the student’s incapacity must be provided by the appropriate
health care provider.
The Campus Associate Dean of Student Services shall have the final authority to determine
whether the request for a Medical Leave is granted. All such determinations shall
be made in writing.
In the event that a Medical Leave is granted, the Associate Dean shall: complete the
class withdrawal process for the student (i.e., if initiated and not previously completed);
and authorize a leave of absence for the student from the Admissions Office (i.e.,
if the student is enrolled in a restricted curriculum with limited seat availability).
This leave maintains the date of matriculation and, if a seat is available, gives
the student preference for readmission into the program ahead of any new student.
Being granted a Medical Leave during a semester does not mean that a student’s grades
or financial aid will not be negatively impacted, nor does it mean that the student
will be entitled to a tuition refund. Accordingly, students should be aware that existing
policies will be followed in making these determinations. Whenever possible, students
are strongly encouraged to determine the consequences of withdrawing during a semester
before requesting a Medical Leave.
Medical Suspension
Suffolk County Community College strives to promote the health and safety of all members
of the college community by providing services in the areas of student health, counseling,
and public safety and by enforcing student conduct regulations. In accordance with
law, and in order to ensure that the institution and its members may carry out their
proper activities without substantial interference or danger of physical harm, the
College has implemented its policy and procedures for the medical suspension of students.
A student may be subject to medical suspension if it is determined that the student
is suffering from a physical, emotional, or psychological condition, and, as a result
of this condition, engages, threatens to engage, or may engage in behavior that:
Reasonably poses a danger or threat of causing physical harm to others; and/or
Substantially impedes the lawful activities of other members of the campus community,
or the educational processes, activities or functions of the College or its personnel.
On August 27, 2015, Suffolk County Community College officially became tobacco-free.
In order to provide a clean and healthy environment for all students, employees and
visitors, the College implemented a tobacco-free policy that will:
Protect Suffolk students, faculty, staff and visitors from unwanted and involuntary
exposure to tobacco and passive smoke;
Prohibit the use of all tobacco and tobacco-derived products on all College grounds;
Provide resources for tobacco users to get the help they need to quit for good.
We encourage all individuals who use tobacco and tobacco-derived products to access
smoking cessation programs and services at the College Health Services Offices. We
invite tobacco users to review the Tobacco-Free Policy. This policy shall be strictly enforced, and violators will be subject to conduct
procedures outlined in the Student Code of Conduct and/or fines.
Reasonable Modifications for Student Pregnancy or Related Conditions
Suffolk County Community College is committed to creating an accessible and inclusive
environment for pregnant and parenting students.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex
in education programs or activities including academic, educational, extracurricular,
athletic, and other programs or activities of schools. This prohibition includes discrimination
against students based on pregnancy or related conditions. Pregnant and parenting
students at the College will not be excluded from any class, activity, or program
(including career and technical education) on the basis of sex, pregnancy, or related
conditions. The College will make reasonable modifications to College policies, practices,
or procedures as necessary to prevent sex discrimination and ensure equal access to
the College's education program or activity, in accordance with the procedures established
for this purpose. For information, please refer to the Student Pregnancy or Related Conditions Anti-Discrimination and Reasonable Modifications
Procedures.
What types of accommodations or reasonable modifications may I request?
Students may request a reasonable modification for pregnancy or related condition. Each reasonable modification will be based on the student’s individualized needs.
Reasonable modifications are not retroactive. Reasonable modifications may include,
but are not limited to:
Breaks during class to express breast milk, breastfeed, or attend to health needs
associated with pregnancy or related conditions, including eating, drinking, or using the restroom;
Intermittent absences to attend necessary medical appointments;
Access to online education;
Changes in schedule or course sequence (though these may not always be feasible);
Extensions of time for coursework and rescheduling of tests and examinations;
Allowing a student to sit or stand, or carry or keep water nearby;
Counseling;
Changes in physical space or supplies (for example, access to a larger desk or footrest;
Elevator access;
Other changes to policies, practices or procedures.
However, a modification that would fundamentally alter the nature of the education
program or activity is not a reasonable modification. The example reasonable modifications
outlined above may not be feasible in every situation. For example, modifications
that completely waive requirements that demonstrate mastery of a particular field
of study, that demonstrate academic competency such as clinical components or examinations,
or that reduce or modify a student’s duties in a required clinical course would generally
not be provided.
How do I request reasonable modification?
To request a reasonable modification for pregnancy or related condition, the student
must contact the College’s Title IX Coordinatorsor one of the College’s Deputy Title IX Coordinators:
Title IX Coordinator:
Christina Vargas, Chief Diversity Officer/Title IX Coordinator, 631-451-4950

violence. The College Annual Security report is updated annually according to federal
law and lists important definitions related to these and other crimes. To review them,
visit the Public Safety website.
SUNY Felony Convictions Policy
State University of New York (SUNY) policy prohibits Suffolk County Community College
admission applications from inquiring into an applicant’s prior criminal history.
After acceptance, the College shall inquire if the student previously has been convicted
of a felony if such individual seeks participation in clinical or field experiences,
internships or study abroad programs. The information required to be disclosed under
SUNY policy regarding such felony convictions shall be reviewed by a standing College
committee consistent with the legal standards articulated in the New York State Correction
Law.
Students who have previously been convicted of a felony are advised that their prior
criminal history may impede their ability to complete the requirements of certain
academic programs and/or to meet licensure requirements for certain professions, including,
but not limited to:
Sitting for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) required for certification
and employment as a physical therapist assistant in New York State;
Becoming certified in New York as a physical therapist assistant;
Sitting for the national certification examination for occupational therapy assistant
administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT);

Mandatory Student Immunizations
Students are required to comply with all immunization requirements applicable to postsecondary
students under State law, as administered and implemented by the New York State Department
of Health. Students are also required to comply with any immunization and vaccination
policies established by the State University of New York (SUNY) that are applicable
to community college students. For more information, refer to the College’s Student Immunization Policy and accompanying Student Immunization Procedure.
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)
In accordance with New York State Public Health Law Section 2165, all students enrolled
for at least six (6) semester hours, or the equivalent, at Suffolk County Community
College, who were born on or after January 1, 1957, must provide acceptable written
proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella in accordance with standards
approved by the New York State Department of Health.
Acceptable proof of immunity consists of a Certificate of Immunization signed and
stamped by a physician or licensed health care provider which documents measles, mumps,
and rubella immunity. Students must submit this form (or other form containing equivalent
information, such as a childhood immunization record) to the campus Health Services
Office before they will be permitted to register for classes.
Proof of an honorable discharge from the armed services within 10 years prior to the
date of application to Suffolk County Community College shall also qualify as evidence
of immunity, enabling a student to attend classes pending actual receipt of immunization
records from the armed services.
If a student’s Certificate of Immunization, or equivalent, indicates that he/she has
(1) received at least one dose of live measles virus vaccine; (2) complied with the
requirements for mumps and rubella; and (3) scheduled an appointment to return to
a health practitioner for the second dose of measles virus vaccine, if this appointment
is scheduled no more than ninety (90) days after administration of the first dose
of measles virus vaccine, then such student will be permitted to attend classes.
Students who fail to comply fully with the MMR immunization requirements by the 30th
day of the semester will be suspended from classes. Such 30-day period may be extended
to forty-five (45) days if a student is from out-of-state or from another country
and can show a good faith effort to comply, or when a disease outbreak occurs. Students
who are suspended and who subsequently fail to comply with the MMR immunization requirements
will be administratively withdrawn from their classes and prevented from registering
for subsequent semesters.

In accordance with New York State Public Health Law Section 2167, all students enrolled
for at least six (6) semester hours, or the equivalent, at Suffolk County Community
College, must submit a Health History and Meningitis Acknowledgment Form, indicating that they
have either (1) received the meningococcal meningitis immunization; or (2) have received information about meningococcal
meningitis disease and vaccination, and have made an informed decision not to obtain
immunization against meningococcal meningitis disease. Students who fail to comply
with this requirement by the 30th day of the semester will be suspended from classes. The 30-day period may be extended to 60 days if a student can show a good faith effort to
comply with these provisions. Students who are suspended and who subsequently fail to submit a Health History and Meningitis Acknowledgement Form will be administratively
withdrawn from their classes and prevented from registering for subsequent semesters.
Exemptions from Immunization Requirements
Medical Exemption:A student may receive a permanent or temporary exemption from the student immunization
requirements if a licensed physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner
certifies, in writing, that the student has a health condition which is a valid contraindication
to receiving a specific vaccine.
Religious Exemption:A student may be exempt from vaccination if, in the opinion of the College, such student
holds genuine and sincere religious beliefs which are contrary to the practice of
immunization. Students seeking a religious exemption must submit a written statement
to the Associate Dean of Student Affairs on their home campus in support of their
request. The College may require supporting documentation.

Notification of Student Rights Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain
rights with respect to their education records. (An eligible student under FERPA is
a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution
at any age.) These rights include:
The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after
the day Suffolk County Community College receives a request for access. A student
should submit to the Chief Campus Student Affairs Officer on their home campus (the
Associate Dean of Student Affairs) a written request that identifies the record(s)
the student wishes to inspect. A meeting will be scheduled within a reasonable period
of time, at which time the records may be reviewed.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student
believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy
rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the College to amend a record should
first bring this request to the Chief Campus Student Affairs Officer on their home
campus (the Associate Dean of Student Services), who will discuss the matter with
the student and attempt to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution. If an agreement
cannot be reached, the student will be notified of the decision and their right to
a hearing. The student may then request a hearing to challenge the contents of the
record. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures is outlined in the
College Student Records Policy and will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
The right to provide written consent before the College discloses personally identifiable
information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent. The following is a partial list of disclosures
which are permitted without a student’s prior written consent:
to College officials with legitimate educational interests. A College official is
a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research
or support staff position; a person retained as a contractor, consultant, volunteer,
or other party to whom the College has outsourced services or functions authorized
by, or under contract to the College, to perform a special task, such as an attorney
or auditor; a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving in an
official capacity, such as membership on a disciplinary or grievance committee. A College official has a legitimate educational interest if the College official needs
to review the education record in order to fulfil their professional responsibilities
for the College.
Upon request, the College also discloses education records without consent to officials
of another institution in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
To appropriate parties (such as law enforcement, SCCC Public Safety officers, etc.)
in connection with a health and safety emergency.
To certain officials of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of the Comptroller
and U.S. Attorney General, and state and county educational authorities in connection
with certain audits.
To appropriate officials in connection with a student’s request for or receipt of
financial aid.
To organizations conducting studies on behalf of the College, or to accrediting organizations;
To comply with a judicial order or a lawfully issued subpoena.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged
failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address
of the office that administers FERPA is: Student Privacy Policy Office, U.S. Department
of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202.
College’s Student Records Policy explains in detail the procedures used by the College for FERPA compliance. The Student
Records Policy is posted on the College’s website. Copies of the College’s Student Records Policy may also be found in the following
offices: Campus Registrar and Associate Dean of Student Affairs on the Ammerman, Eastern
and Michael J. Grant campuses, as well as the offices of the College Registrar, Vice
President for Student Affairs, and the Office of Legal Affairs in the Norman F. Lechtrecker
Building on the Ammerman Campus. Questions concerning FERPA may be referred to the
Associate Dean of Student Services on each campus or the College Registrar or the
Vice President for Student Affairs in the Norman F. Lechtrecker Building on the Ammerman
Campus.
Directory Information Notice
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that
Suffolk County Community College, with certain exceptions, require your written consent
prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your education
records. However, the College may disclose appropriately designated "Directory Information"
without written consent if considered appropriate by College officials, unless you
have advised the College to the contrary in accordance with College procedures.
The College hereby designates the following items of student information as "Directory
Information".
Name
Address (permanent, local and email)
Telephone number (permanent and local)
Photograph
Dates and status of enrollment
Major field of study
Honors, awards or special recognition
Weight and height, if a member of an athletic team
Prior schools attended and degrees awarded
Participation in officially recognized sports and activities
This does not mean, however, that the College will indiscriminately release such information
about students. Requests for Directory Information on all Suffolk County Community
College students or categories of students will generally not be honored. The College
specifically excludes lists or compilations of data on all students or categories
of students from its designation of Directory Information under FERPA, even if such
list or compilation of data consists only of information which, if related to an individual
student, would otherwise constitute Directory Information. Release will generally
be restricted to information on individual students only, and each request will be
considered on an individual basis by the Vice President of Student Affairs, the College
Registrar, the Campus Associate Dean of Student Affairs, or the Office of Legal Affairs.
Opting Out of Directory Information: Currently enrolled students may request that the College not release their Directory
Information under any circumstances by completing the "Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information" form. This form must be submitted to the campus Registrar's Office, and will be
in effect until the student revokes the request in writing. The College assumes that
failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of "Directory
Information" by filling out the form indicates individual approval for disclosure.
Bias Crimes or Hate Crimes
Hate crimes, also called bias crimes or bias-related crimes, are criminal activity
motivated by the perpetrator’s bias or attitude against an individual victim or group
based on perceived or actual personal characteristics, such as their race, religion,
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Hate/bias crimes have received
renewed attention in recent years, particularly since the passage of the federal Hate/Bias
Crime Reporting Act of 1990 and the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000 (Penal
Law Article 485).
Penalties for bias-related and hate crimes are very serious and range from fines to
imprisonment for lengthy periods, depending on the nature of the underlying criminal
offense, the use of violence or previous convictions of the offender. Perpetrators
who are students will also be subject to College disciplinary procedures, where sanctions,
including dismissal, are possible.
In addition to preventing and prosecuting hate/bias crimes, the College’s Office of
Public Safety also assists in addressing bias-related activities occurring on the
College’s campuses that do not rise to the level of a crime. These activities, referred
to as bias incidents, are defined as acts of bigotry, harassment, or intimidation
directed at a member or a group within the College community based on national origin,
ethnicity, race, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status,
color, creed, or marital status and could be addressed through the College .
Bias incidents should be reported to:
the Office of Public Safety at (631) 451-4242.
The Campus Associate Deans of Student Affairs at each campus:
Affirmative Action Officer/Deputy Title IX Coordinator: (631) 451-4051 or walkerd@sunysuffolk.edu.

Suffolk County Police by calling 911 in an emergency or calling Public Safety at (631)
451-4242 (or x311 from any campus phone).

Students have the opportunity to incorporate classroom and applied learning into their
degree programs through a variety of methods. Many programs require experiential learning
experiences as integral to the degree and other programs provide optional credit-bearing
opportunities. The College is committed to experiences that are structured, begin
with appropriate orientation and training, are monitored, and include learner reflection,
activity assessment and evaluation.
Among the applied learning experiences are practicums in clinical settings; internships
in local businesses or agencies; cooperative work experiences; field study; student-faculty
research; study abroad; service learning; and opportunities to engage in independent
creative expression. Types of experiences and the number offered vary by degree program.
The purpose is to ensure that there is integration between classroom theory and practical
experience. Often these experiences include a seminar or capstone class which helps
students to make that important connection between theory and practice. Through experiential
course offerings students can explore a career and prepare for future employment or
advanced studies.
Many applied learning experiences have entrance requirements, involve the purchase
of student liability insurance, and may have limited enrollment. All interested students
are encouraged to contact their academic department or campus career office and they
will be assisted or referred as appropriate. In programs where an applied learning
experience is required to complete the curriculum, it is recommended that students
begin the application process prior to registration. Applied learning opportunities may
be offered within several programs including Liberal Arts and Sciences: General Studies.
In addition to those credit-bearing experiences, the College provides many applied
learning opportunities that do not involve the awarding of academic credit. Students
should consult the Student Life section of this catalog for some of these offerings.
Lastly, each campus can provide guidance to students on the scores of opportunities
related to community service and engagement, creative expression, leadership development,
and campus employment.

Concurrent Enrollment at Suffolk County Community College
The Beacon Program, Illuminating the Pathway to College and Career for High School
Students!
Suffolk's Beacon Program is a concurrent enrollment program that allows high school
juniors and seniors to take the College courses at their high school campus during
their regular school hours, while simultaneously working toward high school graduation.
College credits earned through the Beacon Program can be applied toward high school
graduation and accepted at the College or transferred to a multitude of other colleges
and universities. Enrollment in a course offered through the Beacon Program generates
an official college academic transcript for each student. Acceptance of credit for
college-level course work is under the domain of the receiving colleges and universities.
The program is designed to provide curricular opportunity and enhancement of the college
experience, but not its replacement. Therefore, students may enroll in no more than
30 college credits earned through the Beacon Program.
Education provides the pathway toward building strong families, vibrant communities
and skilled workers. As a comprehensive community college, Suffolk County Community
College sees its primary purpose as providing access to high quality, cost-effective
educational experiences that are designed to improve career prospects and enhance
the quality of life here on Long Island.
Suffolk County Community College Early College Program (ECP) is an opportunity for
high school juniors and seniors who attend our partner school districts to earn college
credits while having an experience of college life. Students enroll in college classes
and interact with college faculty, staff and other students. ECP students can earn
college-level credits while continuing to complete high school.
All classes are taught by college professors, and ECP students are integrated into
classes with college students. Each program participant is assigned an ECP counselor.
With guidance from the College’s Program staff, students select classes from the general
education program or take a sequence of courses in a particular curriculum.
Enrollment in courses through Suffolk’s Early College Program generates an official
Suffolk academic transcript for each student. Successfully earned credits are accepted
at Suffolk or can be transferred to a multitude of other colleges and universities.
Acceptance of credit for college-level course work is under the domain of the receiving
colleges and universities with general acceptance within State University of New York
(SUNY) institutions. Graduates of the program have gone on to notable two and four-year
institutions, including Suffolk County Community College and are strong candidates
for their Honor’s Program.

To meet the growing need for a skilled workforce, New York State has provided funding
for community colleges to develop one of the largest statewide public/private partnership
apprenticeship programs in the country. The SUNY Apprenticeship Program will assist
in developing Registered Apprenticeships in Advanced Manufacturing, Cybersecurity,
Artificial Intelligence and other high-needs fields.
As an approved apprenticeship related-instruction (RI) provider, Suffolk County Community
College’s Advanced Manufacturing Training Center is ready to support trade titles
with related instruction in Advanced Manufacturing for the following trades:
CNC Machinist
Electro Mechanical Technician
Industrial Manufacturing Technician
Maintenance Mechanic (Automation Equipment)
Quality Assurance Auditor
The Apprenticeship Program is an employer-driven program through the New York State
Department of Labor (NYSDOL), where companies may be eligible to get a related-instruction
portion of an apprenticeship covered.
To find out more about related-instruction training, becoming a sponsor, or if you
are interested in being part of our roundtable discussion, contact Suffolk County
Community College's Advanced Manufacturing Training Center at 631-851-6200.
"Apprenticeship programs offer students the educational opportunities and hands-on
experience they need to prepare them for the jobs of the future," Governor Cuomo said.
See Press Release for more information.
The New York College Apprenticeship Network is paid for by a $7.9 million grant from
the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, administered
by The Research Foundation for the State University of New York. suny.edu/apprenticeship
and labor.ny.gov/apprenticeship

Soldering and electronic assembly, among others. Each program offers a Completion Certificate upon successful completion,
and offers the opportunity of National Certification in some areas. These courses
are designed for the incumbent worker as well as those individuals interested in entering
the manufacturing field. The AMTC provides students with a better understanding of
what is required of those working in the manufacturing environment through both classroom
and hands-on learning. Our location is a Certified Remote Testing Facility and provides
associated testing in IPC, AWS, NATE, Certiport, and NIMS Certifications. Training is located at the Michael J. Grant Campus of Suffolk County
Community College.
The mission of the Entrepreneurial Assistance Center (EAC) is to increase business
ownership of Suffolk County residents by providing an intensive program of classroom
training, technical assistance and ongoing business support during enterprise formation,
operation, and expansion.
EAC has been an important part of the College’s mission and the economic development
of Suffolk County since inception in 1995, with an operational focus on servicing
English- and Spanish-speaking business owners, exposing youth to entrepreneurship
and financial literacy, assisting current and future business owners with technical
assistance, and helping them secure Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Certification
(MWBE), government contracts and financing.
The Entrepreneurial Assistance Program (EAP) is the flagship component of the Entrepreneurial
Assistance Center. It is a 60-hour entrepreneurial training course. held each semester,
that teaches the basic business model of marketing, management, taxes, finances and
legal issues to assist in the development of a business strategy and a business plan.
The Corporate Training Center at Suffolk County Community College has worked with companies to help secure training grants from federal, state and county agencies.
Many grants provide a level of funding for specific training programs with matching
funds required from the company that is participating in the grant. The participating
company is also responsible for meeting specific eligibility guidelines of the grant
awarded. This arrangement provides an opportunity to upgrade workforce skills at an
affordable cost to the company.
The Corporate Training Center has secured specific grants for incumbent workers in
the areas of Advanced Manufacturing, Workplace English, and other programs. These programs have allowed the training of displaced workers,
economically disadvantaged adults, persons with disabilities, and veterans to receive
vocational training. Many of these students have successfully completed their training,
obtained full- or part-time employment, and have become self-sufficient, productive
members of the community.
These programs also allow many to further their education and obtain degrees at Suffolk
County Community College in Manufacturing Technology and other fields, or to obtain
four-year degrees at other institutions.
In addition, this training has helped businesses and enabled companies to be more
competitive in the global marketplace. It has allowed firms to upgrade the skills
of their incumbent workers, increase retention rates, and remain an economic resource
for Long Island.

The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) at Suffolk County Community College represents a cooperative effort between the College,
the Longwood Central School District, governmental agencies and business and industry
to provide a unique, comprehensive and supportive environment for students who may
be at risk of dropping out of school. Its purpose is to serve those students who may
not be reaching their academic potential by providing academic services that will
improve their ability to complete high school and successfully enter postsecondary
education or the workforce. LPP is funded by a grant from the New York State Education
Department.
Suffolk County Community College offers high school students its highly regarded New York State-Certified Driver and Traffic Safety Education Course.
Suffolk County Community College offers high school students a non-credit, state-certified
Driver and Traffic Safety Education program. Those who successfully complete the program
will receive the MV-285 Student Certificate of Completion, issued by the NYS Department
of Motor Vehicles. The MV-285 allows students with a NYS Junior Permit to schedule
a road test, receive their senior license at the age of 17 instead of 18.
Suffolk County Community College offers a variety of two-year curricula leading to
the associate degree as well as several certificate programs. There are three different
associate degrees, each having a specific purpose and differing credit distributions.
A.A. Degree (Associate in Arts)
This is a liberal arts and sciences-based degree for which the objective is preparation
for transfer to a baccalaureate degree program, generally in a liberal arts major
(i.e., English, history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, etc.).
This is a liberal arts and sciences-based degree for which the objective is preparation
for transfer to a baccalaureate degree program, generally in a professional field
of endeavor (i.e., chemistry, engineering, computer science, etc.).
This is an occupation-based degree for which the primary objective is preparation
for job entry immediately upon completion of the degree program (i.e., occupational
therapy assistant, paralegal, etc.). While the emphasis is on providing particular
occupational skills, each curriculum includes courses in the humanities, social sciences
and mathematics.
Some graduates of these programs may also transfer to four-year colleges. The acceptance
of courses for transfer are subject to the discretion of the receiving baccalaureate
institution.
A certificate may include some liberal arts and sciences courses, but are designed
to provide students with practical knowledge and skills that lead to employment. Certificates
vary in length but can generally be completed in one calendar year. All the certificate
programs can be used as the first stage in an educational program leading eventually
to an associate or bachelor's degree.
Fully online programs provide opportunities for students to complete all course requirements
without needing to attend any classes on campus. Course requirements and content for
online degrees are equivalent to the College’s requirements for traditional campus-based
(i.e., face-to-face) curricula. Online learning works best for students who are organized,
self-directed, strong in reading, writing, and in communicating through technology.
You may want to take the Online Learning Readiness Quiz to see if this type of learning is right for you.
Half the College’s student body is comprised of students enrolled in classes scheduled
during the late afternoons and evenings, Monday through Friday, and in weekend course
offerings. Most evening students are enrolled in one of the degree or certificate
programs, but some students simply take a few courses to meet specific job requirements,
prepare for advancement to better positions, promote self-development, or broaden
their understanding of contemporary cultural and social phenomena.
Evening and weekend classes are offered on all three campuses. These courses are identical
in content to those offered during the day session. Unless otherwise noted, all academic
and administrative guidelines and regulations which pertain to full-time students
also apply to part-time students. Students have access to the complete classroom,
laboratory and library facilities of the campuses and are provided with academic advisement,
counseling and other services.
Individuals who plan to work toward a degree or certificate should apply as a matriculated
student through the Admissions Office. Those interested in taking credit courses for
personal or vocational enrichment and not pursuing a degree or certificate, should
contact the Campus Registrar's Office. For those interested in taking non-credit courses,
please see Continuing Education.
Insufficient enrollment in a course or program, or in a given semester, may make it
necessary for students to enroll in a day class, at another campus, or to attend extra
semesters in order to complete specific required courses. Please consult with the
campus Office of Academic Affairs on any campus for further information.
The College operates summer sessions at all three campuses. This may consist of two consecutive six-week day and evening
sessions, as well as an overlapping eight-week session for selected courses. Nine
to 12 credits may be completed by enrolling in a combination of these sessions. Any
matriculated student wishing to enroll for more than 12 credits must receive permission
from the campus Academic Dean.
A three-week wintersession offering only day classes is scheduled each year in late December and January before
the spring semester begins. Three to four credits may be completed during the wintersession.
In addition to the College’s own students, the summer sessions and the wintersession
are popular with students visiting from other colleges and universities who wish either
to make up or accelerate coursework in their own programs. Students not admitted into
a degree or certificate program at Suffolk County Community College are considered
non-matriculated and can only register for 1-11.5 credits. Visiting students need
to refer to the Non-Degree Seeking Student Application.
Students can complete the A.A., A.S. or the A.A.S. degree in two years of successful full-time study, while most certificate programs are designed for one year of full-time study. Students working toward the
degree or certificate on a part-time or minimum full-time basis should understand
that completion of the program will take longer. Placement into developmental courses
may also extend duration of study.
Increasingly, students find it difficult to complete the major in the suggested time
because of family obligations, work hours or other responsibilities. The College understands
these circumstances and encourages students to consult with the College’s counselors
or academic departments for assistance in determining the optimum course load and
time frame for pursuing their program of study.
Unless otherwise stated, there is no academic penalty for taking longer than the one
or two years outlined in the curricula that follow. Some students find that attending
the summer sessions and/or the wintersession provides an opportunity to expedite their
progress in their program of study.

to assist students, who have obtained an A.A. or A.S. degree at Suffolk County Community
College, to transfer to a SUNY four-year institution with junior status. Seamless
transfer is achieved by completing seven of the 10 SUNY General Education Framework
areas and passing the required Transfer Path courses within the intended major with
a minimum of a “C.”
Transfer Paths include lower division course requirements that are common to all SUNY
campuses with the similar major. Transfer Paths exist for many degrees at Suffolk
County Community College. VisitSUNY Transfer Paths to determine the courses that should be completed before transferring to the SUNY
four-year institution.

* Currently, some programs exist with exceptions to one or more of these requirements.
Minimum Credits and GPA for Graduation
In order to graduate from any curriculum, students must complete a minimum of 60 credits
for a degree and complete all curriculum requirements for a certificate while attaining
a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0, both cumulatively and in their major
courses. The courses constituting the major in each curriculum are designated with
a ♦ symbol. Only the Adolescence Education programs, Childhood Education Studies and
the Liberal Arts and Sciences: General Studies curricula do not designate major courses.
Two 2-credit courses may be used to fulfill a 3-credit unrestricted elective. All
of the credits required for an unrestricted elective must be satisfied.
Program Requirements
Academic program requirements are subject to change. Students, enrolled in a program
that has been revised, have the option to follow the program requirements in place
when they were accepted into the program or they can opt to switch into the new program
requirements. For further information regarding any curriculum, students should seek
advice from the academic counselors, the Admissions Office, or the academic departments
on any of the three campuses.
All course descriptions and learning outcomes are discipline-specific and must be
followed.
Each course description includes one or more of these designations: A, E, G. The letters
indicate whether the course can be offered on or by the Ammerman (A), Eastern (E)
and Michael J. Grant (G) campuses, respectively.
Many courses are offered both day and evening every semester. However, certain courses
are offered only in the day (or only in the evening), and some courses are not offered
each semester. As course offerings are subject to change, please consult the class
schedule available online, for a complete listing of all courses to be offered in
a particular fall, wintersession, spring or summer term for each campus.
Certain courses have prerequisites, and the College expects students to have successfully
completed all prerequisites before registering for such courses. It is the student’s
responsibility to make sure that all course prerequisites are completed before registering
for a course. Questions concerning course prerequisites should be directed to an
appropriate academic chairperson, counselor, or academic dean. The College reserves
the right to prohibit a student from attending a class when it feels the course prerequisite(s)
have not been met.
Depending upon their curriculum, students may have considerable freedom to choose
courses according to their interests. However, enrollment in certain courses is restricted
to students matriculated in particular programs (e.g., only nursing students may enroll
in NUR courses). In some other courses, enrollment priority is given to students matriculated
in particular programs, but if room is available, other students may be admitted (e.g.,
students in the health careers programs have priority in the HSC101 course, but others
may take it as an elective if space is available).
Course descriptions are grouped according to subject or discipline, which are arranged
alphabetically.
Some curriculum outlines, in addition to designating specific courses which must
be completed, stipulate a “Humanities Elective,” “Social Sciences Elective,” “Science
or Mathematics Elective,” “Business Elective,” etc. In the list which follows, subjects
or disciplines are grouped into these broad areas. A “Liberal Arts and Sciences Elective”
includes most courses in any subject area under the humanities, social sciences, science
or mathematics areas, and some computer science courses.
Generally, courses meet one clock hour each week during the semester for every credit
hour stipulated in the course description. Thus, a "3 cr. hr." course meets three
hours each week during a 15-week semester. However, two or three hours (or more) of
laboratory, studio or other learning activities will count the same as one hour of
lecture. Students should understand that one hour in class normally requires two hours
of preparation, reading or outside work. Thus, a full-time student enrolled for 15
credits should be prepared to devote as much as 30 hours to out-of-class learning
activities, in addition to time spent in the classroom.
While the College recognizes that most students must work at least part-time in order
to meet their expenses during the academic year, studies have indicated that students'
grades fall off significantly if they must work more than 20 hours per week while
taking 12 credits or more in any given semester.
Online education is a type of learning where the student and the instructor are not
physically in the same room, but instead use the internet and a learning management
system (LMS) to interact with course material. At Suffolk, the LMS used is Brightspace.
Online learning works best for students who are organized, self-directed, strong in
reading, writing, and in communicating through technology. Having access to a computer,
printer, and reliable internet service is also necessary. You should have time and
space where you can do your work uninterrupted. Lastly, you will need to dedicate
10 or more hours each week to an online course.
There are different modalities for online education. To see a description of each,
please see Online Modalities.
A student wishing to carry out a learning project that incorporates content and depth
not available through regular course offerings may submit a proposal to do so through
an independent study course. Application for independent study should be made in advance
of the semester during which the course activities will be carried out and must be
made in consultation with a faculty member who will serve as instructor for the course.
A proposal for independent study must include a rationale for the course, a statement
of objectives to be achieved, and a description of activities to be carried out in
order to achieve those objectives. Approval by the Campus Associate Dean of Academic
Affairs is required. Interested students are advised to consult the academic chair
prior to preparing a proposal.
Independent study courses require, as a prerequisite, matriculated status at Suffolk
County Community College and six credit hours in the respective area of study with
a grade of B or better.
All Independent Study courses are designated 297 according to academic discipline.
