Our Open-Door PolicyCWI has an open-door admissions policy. We welcome anyone seeking to benefit from our educational programs and services regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, and/or disability. Our open-door policy results in a diverse student popula-tion with varied experiences, backgrounds, abilities, interests, needs, and educational goals. CWI is committed to providing all eligible students access to appropriate educational offerings. CWI administers a placement test in order to place students in appropriate courses. Some programs and courses have special requirements for admission/registration.

Our Degrees and CertificatesCWI confers the following degrees and certificates:

− Associate of Arts Degree (AA) − Associate of Science Degree (AS) − Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS)− Academic Certificate (AC) − Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC) − Intermediate Technical Certificate (ITC) − Basic Technical Certificate (BTC)

Our AccreditationThe College of Western Idaho delivers college credit instruc-tion, certificates, and degrees through its memorandum of understanding with the College of Southern Idaho (CSI). CSI is accredited through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). NWCCU is a regional postsecondary accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

For the duration of the accreditation partnership, credits, certificates, and degrees earned at CWI are transferable to four-year institutions, subject to the specific policies of those

institutions. Credits, certificates, and degrees earned from January 2009 through August 2014 appear on both CSI and CWI transcripts. Credits, certificates, and degrees earned from August 2014 to present appear on CWI transcripts. Past credits appear on the CSI transcript.

On January 11, 2012, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) granted CWI Candidacy for Accreditation status at the associate degree level. Candidacy is not accreditation nor does it ensure eventual accreditation. Candidate for Accreditation is a status of affiliation with the Commission which indicates that the institution has achieved initial recognition and is progressing toward accreditation. Until separate accreditation is granted, CWI will continue to deliver college credit instruction, certificates, and degrees through its contract with the College of Southern Idaho (CSI).

NORTHWEST COMMISSION ON COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (NWCCU) 8060 165th Avenue NE, Suite 100 Redmond, WA 98052-3981 www.nwccu.org

Several of our programs are also accredited by the appro-priate accrediting agencies, and graduates are eligible to take the qualifying examinations of the respective state and national licensing or registration bodies and join professional organizations.

Our StructureCWI is a comprehensive community college with several loca-tions throughout Idaho’s Treasure Valley. Funding for the College comes from tuition and fees, the state of Idaho, and the community college taxing district, made up of Ada and Canyon Counties.

The College is governed by a volunteer five-member Board of Trustees, who are elected at large from within Ada and Canyon Counties for staggered, four-year terms.

CWI was established in 2007 and began offering courses in January 2009.

Our Campus Policies

TOBACCO-FREE CAMPUSOn January 1, 2015, Board Policy 4350, Tobacco-Free Campus, came into effect. This policy is intended to positively promote a healthy learning environment.

This means that the use of all tobacco products, electronic and vapor cigarettes, or the sale, distribution, or advertise-ment of same, are prohibited in college buildings or on college premises, including events on college premises, and in college-owned, rented, or leased vehicles.

This policy applies to any person on CWI owned or leased property, including all CWI employees, students, vendors, contractors and visitors.

In the spirit of cooperation, CWI encourages employees, students, and guests to be non-confrontational and respectful of all members of our campus community when commu-nicating CWI policies. In return, tobacco users are asked to adhere to the new policy and also be respectful of former and non-tobacco users.

Enforcement will be achieved through education, aware-ness, and cooperation, which makes it important to remain courteous and respectful when addressing the Tobacco-Free Campus policy.

For more information and to read CWI’s Smoking Policy, please visit www.cwidaho.cc/smokefree.

WEAPONS ON CAMPUSAs of July 1, 2014, Section 18-3309 of the Idaho Code allows individuals with enhanced concealed carry permits to carry weapons on public college and universities. The College of Western Idaho (CWI) has worked diligently to evaluate what changes need to be implemented on campus in response to the legislation. Our principal goal is to make sure our campus community remains a safe learning and working environment.

CWI Board Policy 4340 Safety states the possession, wearing, carrying, transporting, or use of weapons, including firearms, while upon properties owned or controlled by the College of Western Idaho (CWI) or where CWI activities occur, is prohib-ited, except for authorized law enforcement officers, autho-rized campus security officers, and persons exempt under Idaho State law. “Persons exempt under Idaho State law” means any person licensed to carry a concealed weapon under Idaho Code Sections 18-3302H or 18-3301K.

For more a list of FAQ’s, please visit www.cwidaho.cc/faq/weapons-campus.

Our Core Learning OutcomesLEARN TO LEARN: Students learn that as important as content knowledge is, shaping one’s future requires the development of skill in discerning, applying, analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating knowledge in diverse contexts. The educational experience at CWI prepares students for a world in which they are likely to change occupations and face unpredictable life events. We strive to develop courses and learning experiences that give students the tools to confidently thrive in a complex, information-saturated, diverse, and dynamic world.

MAKE CONNECTIONS: Students learn success in today’s inter-connected world requires deliberate engagement and comfort with multiple perspectives, cultures, and contexts. In navi-gating difference and diversity in the natural and social worlds, students connect ideas, forms of knowledge, and practices to create a richer understanding of themselves as personally and socially responsible citizens.

SOLVE PROBLEMS: Students identify problems, analyze and implement solutions, and interpret and reflect on outcomes to develop skills to individually and collaboratively face chal-lenges and create opportunities.

ETHICAL REASONING: Students learn ethical ideas and moral conduct may be understood as products of historical, cultural, and religious forces, as reflections of human nature, and as personally held attitudes and beliefs. In articulating their own ethical self-awareness, recognizing ethical issues, and mastering various ethical perspectives, students can evaluate, create, and live consciously according to their own moral values.

Our Educational ServicesCWI provides the following educational services:

− Academic Transfer majors oriented toward transfer to four-year schools

− Professional Technical Education programs designed to prepare students for the workforce

– Basic Skills Education offers developmental courses for those needing to improve their academic skills

− Concurrent college credit courses for high school students– Workforce Development provides short-term training for

skills development

ACADEMIC TRANSFERThe College of Western Idaho prepares students to earn an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree and then, if they so choose, to transfer those credits to a baccalaureate institution. Academic Transfer programs are comprised of instruction in liberal arts and sciences to develop knowledge and skill in communication, humanities, mathematics, science, and social science.

PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATIONProfessional Technical Education at the College of Western Idaho provides training for those occupa-tions in CWI’s service area that require less than a four-year degree. Degrees and certificates offered in Professional Technical Education are the Associate of Science degree (AS, Nursing only), Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS), Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC), Intermediate Technical Certificate (ITC), and Basic Technical Certificate (BTC). CWI continually assesses the needs of its service region to ensure that programs meet the training needs and skill requirements in demand.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY ASSISTANCECWI offers college preparatory assistance for college students who need to raise existing skills for successful completion of college math and English. College Prep Mathematics (MATH 095) is offered to students whose math skills are assessed as not yet college-ready based on COMPASS (Computerized Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) test scores. Based on the CWI Write Class Placement exam, students may be placed into a corequisite course (ENGL 100), which offers additional instruction and support for ENGL 101.

ONLINE COURSES CWI offers a variety of online courses that provide computer-based instruction with electronically facilitated contact with the instructor and other students. Because these courses are not place-bound and do not require regular meeting hours, students who are self-motivated, have time management skills, and are solution-based learners are most successful in online courses. Our online courses are delivered through a user-friendly learning management system and provide students a more flexible option for class scheduling. Students at a significant distance from CWI facilities may arrange proc-tored exams at approved locations in their own communities.

Benefits of online learning:

– Study when it is convenient for you.– Complete your homework wherever and whenever you have Internet access.– Interact with your instructor and classmates in your online

classroom.– Course materials are accessible 24/7.– Hundreds of fully-online course options available.

HYBRID COURSES “Hybrid” courses combine face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning. A portion of a hybrid course is sched-uled on campus and the rest is completed online. CWI hybrid courses offer students the best of both worlds with regularly scheduled interaction with faculty, combined with the flex-ibility of computer-based learning process.

Benefits of a hybrid course:

– A combination of the best features of face-to-face instruc-tion and the best features of online education.

– Regularly scheduled faculty/student interactions.– Less seat time: The hybrid courses meet less frequently

on-campus than traditional classes, providing flexible course offerings for students who have demanding work schedules and/or family responsibilities.

– Flexibility of completing assignments through Blackboard (a computer-based learning platform).

– Individualized assistance for students who need additional help.

BASIC SKILLS EDUCATIONThe Basic Skills Education program is designed to improve the educational level of adults, out-of-school youth, and non-English speakers in our 10-county service area. CWI recognizes the worth and importance of the individual who has less than a high school education and the need for community-based instruction.

The Basic Skills Education program provides services in campus-based learning centers and outreach centers in community-based sites in southwestern Idaho. Services

DUAL CREDITCWI recognizes the nationwide movement toward providing high school students of outstanding academic achievement and/or inclination the opportunity to earn college credit toward an undergraduate degree prior to high school gradua-tion. CWI accepts high school students as one of its important constituent groups and considers dual credit programs to be a major part of its off-campus outreach effort.

The Dual Credit program allows high school students to enroll in college classes for credit prior to high school graduation. College credits earned through Dual Credit may apply toward high school and college graduation. CWI provides high school students with the opportunity to earn college credit in quali-fied classes taken at the high school campus or on the CWI campuses and online. Through this program, Dual Credit students can accumulate college credits prior to entering college—providing opportunities to graduate from college early or on time.

Credits earned through the Dual Credit program can be trans-ferred to other Idaho colleges and universities. Colleges and universities outside the state of Idaho and private institutions within the state are not bound by the same credit transfer policy; therefore, it is the student’s responsibility to check institutional transfer policies before registering for dual credit coursework.

Dual credit courses help high school students make the tran-sition from high school to college. Students can learn what college professors expect while still in their familiar high school surroundings. When a student matriculates into a college system, he or she will have already acquired the confidence to succeed academically. In addition, dual credit courses enable high schools to offer students more options than are available in a regular high school curriculum. Dual Credit students also pay less in college tuition* and may be able to save on books.

* High school students pay a reduced per-credit rate for dual credit courses. For more information, please speak with a high school counselor, check our website at www.cwidaho.cc/hscredit, or contact:

AdvisingIt is the intention of CWI that all students have access to academic advising that provides each student with a fully developed educational plan. In addition, students have access to professional advisors who may clarify and monitor program requirements in order to assist with course and sequencing requirements necessary to complete their educational plans. A student’s major is initially self-selected through the applica-tion for admission and can be changed by submitting a Major Change Form.

ADVISING OPTIONSStudents at CWI are provided with different advising options depending on their class standings and/or programs of study:

– Prospective and first-semester students are assisted by professional advisors located within the One Stop Student Services locations (Lynx Center at Ada County Campus and Micron PTE at Nampa Campus).

– Professional Technical Education students are assigned to faculty advisors during the first semester of their program classes. The faculty advisor assigned will be from the student’s program of study and can assist with career prepa-ration, course selection, and general mentorship. Prior to registering for a second semester, students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisors. A student who is unsure who his/her faculty advisor is can contact One Stop Student Services. Professional-technical students who are completing prerequisites or general-education classes and have not started the program classes should meet with a professional advisor located within the One Stop Student Services loca-tions. Students seeking to speak to professional advisors may schedule appointments or inquire about open advising hours at any One Stop Student Services office.

– Academic Transfer students will be advised by professional advisors located within the One Stop Student Services loca-tions. Students seeking to speak to professional advisors may schedule appointments or inquire about open advising hours at any One Stop Student Services office.

– Students who have not yet decided on their majors should visit with CWI Career Services for assistance in identifying their educational goals. Students can contact a One Stop Student Services office to arrange to meet with a career advisor.

Professional advisors will work in collaboration with faculty to provide complimentary advising services, appropriate workshops and seminars, and intensive support for students. Faculty and professional advisors will also provide coordinated services specific to the needs of transfer planning for students who wish to transfer to four-year colleges after attending and/or graduating from CWI.

CREDIT ENROLLMENT LIMITSEvery student has a unique set of circumstances: academic preparation, skills and abilities, drive and self-motivation, family and work responsibilities, etc. The number of credits a student should enroll in depends on many of these factors as well as on the type and level of difficulty of classes in which he or she intends to enroll. For some students, 15 credits could be considered a full load, while others may be able to successfully

registration. As such, if a student has taken the COMPASS test in the past, he/she may not have to retake the assessment. Successful completion of college-level coursework indicated on official transcripts from accredited colleges/universities or ACT or SAT scores may also exempt a student from taking part or all of the COMPASS test sections. Visit an advisor for complete placement information.

COMPASS assessments are a series of untimed adaptive tests in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. These assessments are used during the advising process to assist students in selecting appropriate course levels in which they are likely to be successful.

The initial costs for COMPASS testing are included within the application fee for CWI applicants. One retake of each subsec-tion is allowed for all CWI applicants at no additional charge. An additional retake may be approved if a student is within five points of being placed into a higher course. Students who are currently enrolled in math or English classes will only be allowed to retake the COMPASS test with the permission of an advisor or instructor within the discipline being retaken. Retakes are subject to a $5 fee per assessment section.

All testers must wait 24 hours between COMPASS test retakes. Students who have taken the COMPASS test in the past and have not been enrolled for two semesters may also retake the COMPASS test at no charge to demonstrate current skill levels. Students who do not intend to enroll at CWI may also take the COMPASS test at CWI by paying a $5 fee per assessment section. CWI has Assessment Centers available in Nampa and Boise. COMPASS placement testing is available on a walk-in basis. Please allow approximately an hour for each assessment section. For current locations and hours of operation, please contact One Stop Student Services at 208.562.3000 or www.cwidaho.cc/contact.

COMPASS Internet Remote Testing is also available for students in many supervised COMPASS test centers across the country. There is no cost for CWI students taking the COMPASS test from a distance; however, a proctoring fee may be charged by the remote location. Students can arrange to have their COMPASS test placements or diagnostic assessments administered away from a CWI campus location by contacting One Stop Student Services at 208.562.3000 or www.cwidaho.cc/contact.

complete more credits a semester. Registering for too many credits may result in lower performance.

Students who want to register in more than 20 credits during a fall or spring semester will need the approval of their advisors.

Students who want to register in more than 10 credits in the summer will need the approval of their advisors.

Students receiving financial aid should also keep financial-aid regulations in mind when deciding on the number of credits in which they should enroll.

HYBRID AND ONLINE COURSES A hybrid course has a mix of face-to-face, traditional class meetings and online sessions using Blackboard. A significant portion of coursework and learning takes place online, thus reducing classroom time and emphasizing student demonstra-tion of course objectives. Students should refer to the course syllabus or contact the instructor to learn more about the hybrid aspect of a specific course.

An online course takes place entirely in a web-based envi-ronment with electronically facilitated contact with the instructor and other students. Students are not expected to come to a physical location except to take proctored exams when requested by their instructors. Students at a significant distance from CWI facilities may arrange proctored exams at approved locations in their own communities.

If you are comfortable using the Internet and a computer, are self-directed and focused on your educational goals, can manage your time well, and can keep your schedule organized, then online learning may be the perfect solution for you. Our online courses are delivered through an easy-to-use learning-management system providing students a convenient solution for completing classes.

COMPASS Placement CWI uses the COMPASS (Computerized Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) test from American College Testing (ACT) for placement. Degree-seeking students should take the COMPASS test prior to enrolling in courses at CWI. Non-degree-seeking students should take the COMPASS test if enrolling in courses that require mathematics or English place-ment. All placement scores will be considered valid if they have been taken within three years from the date of course

Enrolling in Classes

BEFORE YOU REGISTERRegistration is the official process of enrolling in classes. Students are expected to be officially enrolled in order to attend classes. CWI One Stop Student Services is available to help both new and continuing students plan and prepare for a successful start to each semester.

SCHEDULE OF CLASSESThe schedule of classes is available online prior to each regis-tration period and contains detailed information about courses offered (e.g., dates, times, instructor, delivery method, loca-tion, special course fees). Registering as early as possible provides students with a greater selection of available courses.

NOTE: The most up-to-date course offering information can be found online at myCWI.

HOLDSStudents with holds that impact registration cannot register until the holds have been resolved and removed. Student hold notifications can be viewed in myCWI. Students are advised to resolve holds prior to attempting to register.

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION, ADVISING, & REGISTRATION (OAR) OARs are designed to help new CWI students 1) understand basic college policies and procedures related to first semester success such as deadlines, aid disbursement, technology, 2) experience degree planning which aligns with their placement scores, degree choice, and career goals, and 3) understand how to use the myCWI system to register, verify financial aid status, access their bill, and their Academic Profile information. OARs are offered at a variety of days, times, and locations for in-person OARs, and OARs are also offered through an online experience. Visit http://cwidaho.cc/future-students/orien-tation-advising-registration-oar or contact One Stop Student Services for more information.

Upon completion of this assessment process, the scores and course placement can be evaluated with each student to develop an appropriate first-semester schedule and initial educational plan. This process will be completed by an advisor and the student prior to his/her first registration. For students currently in high school, the College recommends taking the COMPASS test during the last semester of their senior year or right after graduation to maximize their mathematics and English preparation. Students who have already graduated from high school can take the assessment any time prior to registration.

For the COMPASS Placement Guide, please see page 62 in the catalog.

ESL COMPASS Placement For students who speak English as a learned language, CWI uses ESL COMPASS assessments to determine placement in English as a Second Language courses that are specially designed to meet these students’ needs and help them be successful in an academic setting. The ESL COMPASS assess-ment includes sections in Reading, Grammar Usage, and Listening. These assessments may be taken all at once or indi-vidually. ESL COMPASS testing is subject to the same costs and retesting policies as mentioned above. For more information about the ESL COMPASS assessments, please contact One Stop Student Services at 208.562.3000 or www.cwidaho.cc/contact.

English Placement Incoming students must take the CWI Write Class Placement exam. The exam uses multiple measures (such as GPA, stan-dardized test scores, and self-assessment) to direct students into the appropriate English course for their skill level. This exam is taken online by the student, at his or her own pace. Students may be placed into ENGL 101 Plus (ENGL 101P with companion course ENGL 100), or ENGL 101. Students who score highly will be invited to apply for placement into English 102. Students may choose to take ENGL 101 Plus even if they place into a higher course.

Mathematics Placement The ACT, SAT, or COMPASS exam score is used to determine placement of an incoming student into the appropriate math-ematics course. An incoming student will need to take the COMPASS test to determine placement if the student does not have either the ACT or SAT Math score, or if the Math score on the ACT or SAT is low. The table below indicates the course options for students using the Math score on the ACT or SAT. The mathematics course which is required for gradua-tion of degree-seeking students is determined by the student’s chosen major.

21

CALL 208.562.3000

PROFESSIONAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION REGISTRATION Several PTE programs require students to attend a program orientation prior to registration. The program orientations are designed to help students understand program expectations and course requirements. Program orientations are usually held prior to the opening of Fall and Spring registration, based on when programs accept a new group of students. Please contact One Stop Student Services for program orienta-tion dates and times for Auto Body Technology, Automotive Technology, Early Childhood Education, Heavy Equipment Technician, Heavy-Duty Truck Technician, Machine Tool Technology, Powersports and Small Engine Repair Technology, and Welding and Metals Fabrication.

RegistrationStudents can register in two ways: • Online through myCWI • In person at any One Stop Student Services location

REGISTRATION DEADLINESThe registration period opens on the first day of registration (second week of April for summer and fall semesters and the second week of November for spring semester) and closes the Friday before classes begin. Students are expected to register prior to the first day of class. Deadlines are published in the academic calendar.

ADDING A COURSEStudents may only add courses after they have registered for courses for the semester. The deadline for adding courses that are a full semester in length is the Friday before classes begin, the same as the registration deadline. During the first week of classes, instructor permission is required to add a class or change sections of the same class. Students desiring to add to their schedules during the first week of classes must submit Registration Exception Form to any One Stop Student Services Center with the instructor’s signature. Instructors are not required to give their permission. Students entering late must make up all work missed. Adding a course is not permitted after the first week of class.

IMPORTANT: All class registrations must be officially recorded by CWI using either the online registration system or by completing an Registration Exception Form and submitting it to any One Stop Student Services Center.

COURSE WAITLISTSA course waitlist is a list of students who want an opportu-nity to register for a section that is full when and if a seat becomes available. Eligible students can waitlist for a full course on myCWI, provided a waitlist is available for that course. Students will be notified by CWI email when a seat becomes available and will have 48 hours to register for the seat. Students who are on a waitlist are encouraged to check for email notification regularly. Instructors cannot override the waitlist.

Waitlists close the Friday before classes begin. Classes may be added with instructor permission during the first week of class; however, instructors are not required to give permission,

and in some cases are unable to add students after classes have begun, even if there is an open seat.

Waitlisted students are not considered enrolled in a course; students must be officially registered for an open seat in order to have enrollment status at the college.

AUDITING A CLASSDuring open-registration periods, students may be able to register for courses under audit status, if space in class is avail-able and with instructor permission. Auditing a class means that the student does not receive credit or a grade. Regular tuition and fees apply. The transcript will show an audit (AU) grade, which is generally interpreted as having enrolled in the class but may or may not have completed assignments or participated in class activities.

Audited courses yield no points for GPA calculation but are counted as part of the academic load. A student registered for audit is permitted to change to credit (or vice versa) with the instructor’s permission by the deadline shown in the academic calendar.

PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITESA prerequisite must be completed prior to gaining access to another course. A corequisite must be completed concurrently with another requirement or course.

If a course has a prerequisite or corequisite, students will not be able to register in the course unless those requirements are in progress or have been met. Students can check the course catalog or talk to their advisors if they have questions about specific prerequisites.

PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATION (PTE) COURSE RESTRICTIONSRegistrations for CWI PTE courses are restricted to students who have the correlating program as their declared, active major. If students wish to add a particular PTE course without declaring the applicable program as their major, they can request the course instructor’s permission to be added to the course. Students would need to fill out an Registration Exception Form and turn it into any One Stop Student Services Center after obtaining instructor permission.

Dropping/ Withdrawing from Courses

DROPPING COURSES BEFORE THE TERM CENSUS DATE Students may drop any or all courses that are a full semester in length through the census date (the tenth day of instruction for fall and spring semesters and the fifth day of instruction for the summer semester). Deadlines are published in the official academic calendar each semester.

Students dropping courses prior to the census date are enti-tled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees. Students who have signed Tuition and Fee Payment Plans are entitled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees less the administrative fees associated with their payment plans. A dropped course does not generate a permanent academic transcript record.

IMPORTANT: All class drops must be officially recorded by the College using either the online registration system or by completing an Withdrawal Form and submitting it to any One Stop Student Services Center. Students MUST drop classes in one of these two ways in order to be eligible for a refund of tuition and fees. Classes may NOT be dropped by telephone or e-mail. Failing to drop using one of the official methods may result in an outstanding debt to the College that may be sent to a collection agency for recovery as well as a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of F.

DROPPING COURSES AFTER THE TERM CENSUS DATE (WITHDRAWAL)Once the census date has passed, students may withdraw from courses or completely withdraw from all courses that are a full semester in length until 75 percent of the course meet-ings have elapsed (Friday of the twelfth week of class for fall and spring semesters or Friday of the sixth week of class for the summer semester.) Deadlines are published in the official academic calendar each semester.

Students who withdraw from courses after the census date are NOT entitled to refunds of tuition and fees; the full balance owed remains due and payable to the College of Western Idaho (CWI). Failure to make payment for balances owed may result in outstanding debts being sent to collections for recovery.

A withdrawn course generates a permanent academic tran-script record with a grade of W, but does not impact the GPA.

Withdrawing from one or more courses or completely with-drawing from the College may affect a student’s financial aid or veterans benefits. Students should seek advising prior to withdrawing when possible.

IMPORTANT: No course may be withdrawn from after 75 percent of the course or 12 weeks of the term has elapsed, whichever is earlier. Once 75 percent of the course has elapsed, students are responsible for the grades earned in their courses as deter-mined by their instructors. The final grade assigned by the course instructor will become part of the student’s permanent academic record.

Fees for noncredit courses, materials, books, or special course fees are full price.

VETERANS AND COVERED INDIVIDUALSSection 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (“Choice Act”), requires the Veteran’s Administration to disapprove programs of education for payment of benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty at public institutions of higher learning if the school charges qualifying Veterans and dependents tuition and fees in excess of the rate for resident students for terms beginning after July 1, 2015.

In support of student veterans and in order for CWI’s currently eligible programs to remain approved for the VA’s GI Bill programs, CWI will charge in-state tuition and fee amounts to “covered individuals” as defined in the Veteran’s Choice Act, effective Fall Semester 2015.

RESIDENT STATUS FOR TUITION PURPOSESResidency determination for tuition purposes is governed by rules and regulations adopted by the College of Western Idaho (CWI) Board of Trustees and Idaho Codes 33-3717B, § 33-2110, § 33-2110A, and § 33-2110B.

Based on information provided by the applicant in the Application for Admission, an initial determination is made concerning the student’s residency status for tuition purposes (e.g., in state/out of state, in district/out of district). If resi-dency information is missing or incomplete the student status will default to non-resident, and the tuition will default to out-of-state. The student’s residency status remains unchanged unless the student submits a Residency Redetermination Form with the required documentation to a One Stop Student Services location on or before census date (the tenth day of instruction in the fall and spring semesters and the fifth day of instruction in the summer semester) and a redetermination is made based on the evidence supplied. Qualifications for resi-dency must be met prior to the opening day of the semester for which reclassification is sought.

In general, a student enrolling into CWI shall not be deemed a resident of the community college district or of a county or of the state of Idaho, unless the student established domicile primarily for purposes other than education within said district, county, or the state, for at least twelve months continuously prior to the beginning of the term for which the student enrolls.

STATE OF IDAHO RESIDENCY Students who enroll at CWI may qualify for Idaho residency, for tuition purposes under one or more of the following criteria (documented proof will be required):

a. Any student who has one (1) or more parent or parents or court-appointed guardians who are domiciled in the state of Idaho, and the parent, parents, or guardian provide(s) at least fifty percent (50 percent) of the student’s support. To qualify under this section, the parent, parents, or guardian must have maintained a bona fide domicile in the state of Idaho for at least twelve (12) months prior to the beginning of the term for which the student matriculates.

b. Any student who receives less than fifty (50 percent) of the student’s support from a parent, parents, or legal guardians and who has continuously resided and maintained a bona fide domicile in the state of Idaho primarily for purposes other than educational for twelve (12) months prior to the opening day of the term during which the student proposes to attend the college.

c. Subject to non-resident qualifications below, any student who is a graduate of an accredited secondary school in the state of Idaho during the term immediately following such graduation, regardless of the residence of the student’s parent or guardian.

d. The spouse of a person who is classified, or is eligible for classification, as a resident of the state of Idaho for the purpose of attending a college.

e. A member of the Armed Forces of the United States who entered service as an Idaho resident and who has main-tained Idaho resident status, but is not stationed within the state of Idaho on military orders.

f. A member of the Armed Forces of the United States, stationed in the state of Idaho on military orders.

g. An officer or an enlisted member of the Idaho National Guard.

h. A person separated, under honorable conditions, from the United States Armed Forces after at least two (2) years of service, who at the time of separation desig-nates the state of Idaho as their intended domicile or who has Idaho as the home of record in service and enters a college in the state of Idaho within one (1) year of the date of separation, or who moves to Idaho for the purpose of establishing domicile; provided however, to maintain status as a resident student, such person must actively establish domicile in Idaho within one (1) year of matriculation in a public institution of higher educa-tion in Idaho.

i. The dependent child of a person who qualifies as a resi-dent student under sections (e) through (h), and who receives at least fifty percent (50 percent) support from such person shall also be a resident student, and shall not lose that resident status if, after he or she enters college in the state of Idaho, the parent or guardian is transferred out of the state of Idaho on military orders.

j. Any individual who has been domiciled in the state of Idaho, has qualified and would otherwise be qualified under the provisions of the statute and who is away from the state for a period of less than thirty (30) months and has not established legal residence elsewhere provided a twelve (12) month period of continuous residence has been established immediately prior to departure; provided however, time spent away from the state while enrolled in a postsecondary education program shall not be included in the thirty (30) months. Such time spent away from the state while enrolled shall include normal academic year breaks, such as summer breaks or breaks between semesters or quarters, that occur prior to the receipt of the postsecondary degree.

k. A student who is a member of any of the following Idaho Native American Indian tribes, regardless of current domicile, shall be considered an Idaho state resident for purposes of fees or tuition at institutions of higher education: members of the following Idaho Native American Indian tribes, whose traditional and customary tribal boundaries include portions of the state of Idaho or whose Indian tribe was granted reserved lands within the state of Idaho: (i) Coeur d’Alene tribe; (ii) Shoshone-Paiute tribes; (iii)

REQUEST FOR CHANGE TO RESIDENT TUITION AND FEESEstablishment of a new domicile in Idaho by a student who formerly domiciled in another state has occurred if the student is physically present in Idaho primarily for purposes other than educational and can show satisfactory proof there is not a present intention to relocate outside of the state of Idaho.

Any student who is enrolled for more than eight credit hours in any semester during a twelve-month period shall be presumed to be in Idaho for primarily educational purposes. A student can prove establishment of domicile for purposes other than education if any of the following were completed for at least twelve months prior to the term the student tries to become a resident student:

b. Permanent full-time employment or the hourly equiva-lent thereof in the state of Idaho;

c. Ownership by the student of the student’s living quarters.

DISTRICT RESIDENCYDistrict residency determination for tuition purposes is governed by rules and regulations adopted by the CWI Board of Trustees and Idaho Code § 33-2110, § 33-2110A and § 33-2110B.

Students who enroll at CWI may qualify for district residency, for tuition purposes under one or more of the following criteria (documented proof will be required):

a. Student who domiciled in the county primarily for purposes other than education for at least twelve (12) months continuously prior to the opening day of the term for which the student matriculates at CWI and who receives less than fifty percent (50 percent) of his/her support from a parent, parents or legal guard-ians who are not Idaho/district residents for voting purposes.

b. Student who has domiciled in the county, who has qual-ified or would otherwise be qualified under the provi-sions of this policy, and who is away from that county for a period of less than one (1) calendar year and has not established legal residence elsewhere provided a twelve (12) month period of continuous residence has been established immediately prior to departure.

c. Student whose parent, parents or court-appointed guardians are domiciled in the county for at least twelve (12) months continuously prior to the opening day of the term for which the student matriculates and provide more than fifty percent (50 percent) of the student’s support.

status when his/her parents are transferred on military orders.

h. Student who separated, under honorable conditions, from the United States Armed Forces after at least two (2) years of active service, who at the time of separa-tion designates the county as his/her intended domicile or who has the county as the home of record in service and enters CWI within one (1) year of the date of separation.

DEFINITIONS

DOMICILED Domiciled means an individual’s true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where the student intends to remain and to which he/she expects to return when he/she leaves the state without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.

CONTINUOUSLY RESIDEDContinuously resided means physical presence in the state of Idaho for twelve consecutive months without being absent from Idaho for more than a total of thirty days during the twelve months. Absence from the state for normal vacations, family travel, work assignments, short-term military training, and similar occasions totaling not more than thirty days during the twelve-month qualifying period, in and of itself, will not be regarded as negating the continuous residence of the individual.

SUPPORT Support means financial support given to the student during the twelve months preceding the opening date of the term for which resident status is requested. Any student who receives fifty percent or more of his/her support may demonstrate this by showing that he/she is claimed as a dependent by a parent or legal guardian for income tax purposes or that a parent or legal guardian provides fifty percent or more of the cost of attending an institution according to the CWI Financial Aid Office or that other similar evidence exists of parental support.

PRIMARILY EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Primarily educational purposes means a student enrolled for more than eight credit hours in any semester during the past twelve-month period.

ARMED FORCESArmed Forces mean United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard; it does not include National Guard from states other than Idaho and other reserve forces.

RESIDENCY AUDITSThe College reserves the right to audit students at any time with regard to eligibility for Idaho/district resident status and to reclassify students who are registered under an improper classification. Idaho/district residency classification or reclassi-fication based upon materially erroneous, false, or misleading statements or omissions by or in support of the applicant shall be set aside retroactively upon the discovery of the erroneous nature of such statements. Any student having paid less than required to the CWI because of an erroneous classification or reclassification that is subsequently set aside will repay any and all amounts not properly paid because of the erroneous classification or reclassification. If a student concealed infor-mation or furnished false or misleading information and was classified incorrectly as a result, he or she will also be subject to appropriate disciplinary and/or legal action.

It shall be the responsibility of the student to notify the College of possible changes in residency and to furnish all requested documentation in a timely fashion. A student may request a review of his/her residency status by submitting the Residency Redetermination Form and all required documen-tation to a One Stop Student Services location on or before census date (the tenth day of instruction in the fall and spring semesters and the fifth day of instruction in the summer semester). The burden of proof in requesting a change in resi-dent status rests with the student. Please see www.cwidaho.cc for details on residency requirements and supporting docu-mentation. After the determination on residency status has been made, the student will receive notification of the results. Students are responsible for paying the tuition and fees owed on their accounts by the established due date. Resident tuition rates shall be effective for the semester in which a student is reclassified to resident status. If residency (Idaho and/or district) is granted after payment was received, the difference will be refunded within a reasonable time to the student.

If the student is not satisfied with the determination, he/she can appeal to the Dean of Enrollment and Student Services. All appeals must be submitted (or postmarked) in writing and accompanied by all required documentation within 10 calendar days after the date of notification of residency deci-sion that is being appealed. Failure to comply shall constitute a waiver of all claims to reclassification for the applicable term.

OUT-OF-DISTRICT RESIDENCYOnce a student is determined to be a resident of the state of Idaho, a further determination is made on district residency. District residency is based on the county of residence. The CWI community college district is comprised of Ada County and Canyon County. Residents of Ada and Canyon counties pay in-district tuition and fees. CWI is part of a statewide community college district that includes CWI, College of Southern Idaho (CSI), and North Idaho College (NIC). Students whose permanent residence is in Idaho but outside of Ada, Canyon, Jerome, Twin Falls, and Kootenai counties are charged out-of-district fees of $50 per credit up to $500 per semester in addition to in-district tuition and fees. Idaho counties without a community college district pay the student’s out of-district fees not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) each semester for a two (2) semester year for a full-time student, up to a maximum of three thousand dollars ($3,000) lifetime liability, provided the student completes and submits the Certificate of Residency Form to the county of residence for verification. If residency is verified by the county, the student is responsible for paying in-district tuition and fees and the balance, if any, of the out-of-district fees above the maximum liability of the county of his/her residence. If verification is not received from the student’s county of residence the student is responsible for out-of-district tuition and fees. All Idaho out-of-district students must complete a new Certificate of Residency Form the first semester attended each academic year.

Note: Out-of-district fees will remain on the student’s account until the form has been approved by his or her county. Once an approved form has been received by CWI, the charges will be removed from the student’s account and become the responsi-bility of the county. If the county does not pay after being billed, the charges will be placed back on the student’s account and become the responsibility of the student.

PaymentAny student registering for courses at CWI incurs a debt to the College upon registration. Payment in full or satisfactory payment arrangements for each semester are due on the payment due date published in the official academic calendar each semester. Students with an outstanding balance from a prior semester will not be allowed to register for future courses until the balance is paid in full. The College reserves the right to administratively drop students who fail to make payment in full or satisfactory payment arrangements by the payment due date each semester in order to open class space for other students.

An outstanding debt to the College may be assigned to a collection agency for recovery. The collection agency may assess additional collection fees, which are the responsibility of the student.

IMPORTANT: Any student who no longer wishes to participate in a course that has not yet started MUST complete the official drop process in order to be eligible for a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees (see “Dropping a Course/Complete Withdrawal”). It is the student’s responsibility to drop any and all courses that they do not intend to complete. Failing to drop using one of the official methods as explained under the “Dropping a Course/Complete Withdrawal” section may result in an outstanding debt to the College that may be sent to a collection agency for recovery, as well as a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of F.

PAYMENT OPTIONS AND SATISFACTORY PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTSStudents may select from a variety of payment options and methods at CWI. Payments in full or satisfactory payment arrangements include the following:

PAYMENT IN FULL CWI accepts cash, personal check, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

PAYMENT BY A THIRD PARTYAny student receiving financial assistance from an organiza-tion external to CWI should ensure that the agency is aware of payment deadlines and present a payment voucher or other documentation to CWI One Stop Student Services as a satis-factory payment arrangement by the payment due date. All outstanding balances are the student’s responsibility, are due and payable to the College, and may be sent to collections for recovery if a third party fails to make payment.

NOTE: If the third party does not pay after being billed, the charges will be placed back on the student’s account and become the responsibility of the student.

FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPSAny student receiving financial aid and scholarships from CWI and/or other sources must ensure that he or she has completed the financial aid application process, submitted all documentation requested by the College, and signed a paper award notification or accepted aid online prior to the payment deadline.

IMPORTANT: In order for CWI to ensure that financial aid is processed and ready for disbursement, students MUST complete

their financial aid applications and submit all requested docu-mentation prior to the financial aid priority date published in the official academic calendar each semester.

TUITION AND FEE PAYMENT PLANCWI provides a payment plan option that allows for balances owed to the College to be divided into smaller payments due at regular intervals over the course of a single semester. Any student who is unable to make payment in full and who does not have third-party assistance or financial aid available by the payment due date must complete a Tuition and Fee Payment Plan prior to the payment due date each semester. The payment plan MUST be for the full amount of tuition and fees due.

The payment schedule will be listed in the Tuition and Fee Payment Plan and all payments must be made by the specified due date(s). No grace period is given. Any payments received by the College (financial aid, family contributions, or outside scholarships) are applied directly to the student account to satisfy any outstanding balance owed prior to satisfying any other obligation.

NOTE: Additional payment plan information can be found on myCWI.

IMPORTANT: Any student who does not make payment in full, does not establish satisfactory payment arrangements, or no longer wishes to participate in a course that has not yet started MUST complete the official drop process (see “Dropping a Course/Complete Withdrawal”) in order to be eligible for a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees. It is the student’s responsi-bility to drop. Failing to drop using one of the official methods may result in an outstanding debt to the College that may be sent to a collection agency for recovery, as well as a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of F.

LATE FEESThe minimum late fee is $50. Students who have not paid in full by the due dates listed in the academic calendar, regard-less of the first day of their classes, may incur late fees. Students who enter into a Tuition and Fees Payment Plan agreement and pay after the specified due dates may incur late fees.

OUTSTANDING DEBTUpon registration, the student acknowledges that if the student does not pay any obligations that are owed to the College (“Debts”), as they become due, that an outstanding Debt owed to the College may be assigned to a collection agency for recovery. If that occurs, the collection agency may assess additional collection fees and costs, which may include a fee calculated on a percentage not to exceed 33% of the outstanding Debt. The student agrees to pay the additional collection fees and costs assessed by the collection agency in seeking collection of the Debt. Further, the student agrees to pay all costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the College in seeking collection of the Debt obligations owed by the student, including but not limited to fees and costs charged by third parties such as attorney’s fees and costs.

Upon registration, the student authorizes the College of Western Idaho and its respective agents and contractors to contact the student regarding the student’s financial aid and/or student account and/or Debt, including but not limited to any balances that become due or outstanding Debt obligations that are owed the College, at the current or any future number that is provided for a cellular phone or other wireless device,

using automated telephone dialing equipment or artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages, or otherwise.

COLLEGE-INITIATED DROPS The College may, at its discretion, administratively drop students who have not made satisfactory payment arrange-ments for all classes in order to open class space for other students. The College may also, at its discretion and upon recommendation from a course instructor, administratively drop students who have never attended/participated in a course prior to the census date published in the official academic calendar each semester.

IMPORTANT: Any student who does not make payment in full, does not establish satisfactory payment arrangements, or no longer wishes to participate in a course that has not yet started MUST complete the official drop process (see “Dropping a Course/Complete Withdrawal”) in order to be eligible for a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees. It is the student’s responsi-bility to drop. Failing to drop using one of the official methods may result in an outstanding debt to the College that may be sent to a collection agency for recovery as well as a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of F.

REINSTATEMENT FEESStudents who are administratively dropped from individual courses or all courses prior to the census date each semester are entitled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees.

Students who wish to be reinstated and reenroll in courses that they have been previously removed from may only do so in the same semester. Requests for reinstatement MUST be accompanied by payment in full. Payment in full includes all outstanding balances owed to the College, which may include a $10 per-credit reinstatement fees and a $50 late fee.

NOTE: Requests for reinstatement are not guaranteed and may be denied if the desired course or courses are full.

TUITION AND FEE REFUNDSStudents may drop any or all courses that are a full semester in length through the census date (the tenth day of instruction in the fall and spring semesters, the fifth day of instruction in the summer semester) that is published in the official academic calendar each semester.

Students dropping courses prior to the census date are entitled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees. Students enrolled in Tuition and Fee Payment Plans are entitled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees less the nonrefundable processing fees associated with the payment plans. A course dropped prior to census date does not generate a permanent academic transcript record.

IMPORTANT: All class drops must be officially recorded by the College using either the online registration system or by completing an Withdrawal Form and submitting it to One Stop Student Services. Students MUST drop classes in one of these two ways in order to be eligible for a refund of tuition and fees. Failing to drop using one of the official methods may result in an outstanding debt to the College that may be sent to a collection agency for recovery as well as permanent academic transcript record with a grade of F.

Financial AidCWI helps connect students to financial aid from a number of different sources, primarily federal, state, institutional, and other outside assistance.

Financial aid application assistance and advising services are available at any of the CWI One Stop Student Services Centers located throughout the Treasure Valley. (One Stop locations can be found on pages 6–7.)

APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AIDStudents applying for federal financial aid must be admitted as regular students working toward an eligible degree or certificate at CWI. Completing an application for admission as soon as possible will help expedite the financial aid applica-tion process.

In addition to federal student aid, CWI coordinates and distrib-utes student aid from the State of Idaho as well as institutional funding and a variety of outside sources.

FEDERAL AIDAll students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov. CWI’s Federal School Code is 042118. Continuing students should reapply each academic year (beginning the January prior) by completing a FAFSA online. Early applications (submitted between January 1st and March 1st) receive priority consid-eration.

STATE AIDResidents of the State of Idaho may also be eligible for a variety of scholarships or grants offered by the Idaho State Board of Education. All Idaho residents should complete the FAFSA application AND apply for Idaho scholarships through the Idaho State Board of Education at www.boardofed.idaho.gov. CWI distributes grants and scholarships to students deter-mined to be eligible by the State Board of Education and to those who meet eligibility criteria set by the Idaho Legislature for campus-based programs.

INSTITUTIONAL AIDCWI may offer tuition waivers and/or scholarships to students participating in school clubs, organizations, and other activities identified by the CWI administration. Application information, when available, will be posted online at www.cwidaho.cc.

COLLEGE OF WESTERN IDAHO (CWI) FOUNDATIONThe CWI Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that exists to secure private philanthropic support for the College, has a variety of scholarships for CWI students from donors in the community. Application information, when available, will be posted online at www.cwidaho.cc/scholarships.

OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPSThere are many other sources of financial aid available through private foundations, companies, service clubs, or other orga-nizations that are not directly managed by CWI. All students should seek out and apply for any source of financial assistance available. CWI encourages all students to apply for outside scholarships by contacting each organization individually.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLEMost CWI students receive some combination of grants, schol-arships, tuition waivers, work programs, and student loans. The type of aid received may depend on financial need deter-mined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The need-analysis formula, established by Congress to eval-uate the information reported on the FAFSA application, produces a number called the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is sent both to the student (in the Student Aid Report - SAR) and to CWI by the U.S. Department of Education.

Students are considered for all types of federal financial aid when they apply. A student may always accept, reduce, or decline any type of financial aid offered.

GRANTS Grants are awards that are almost always offered to students with financial need. Unlike student loans, grants do not have to be repaid under most circumstances. Grants are the founda-tion for all student aid packages. CWI will attempt to find as many grants as possible before other types of financial aid are offered. Not all students are eligible for need-based grants.

SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships are gift aid that can be based on academic achievement, particular skills, talents, abilities, or interests, and may or may not have a financial need requirement. Like grants, most scholarships do not have to be repaid.

TUITION AND FEE WAIVERS Tuition and fee waivers are similar to scholarships and grants but do not represent actual cash for a student’s education. Instead, a tuition/fee waiver means that a portion or all of the tuition charges have been covered by the waiver. Tuition/fee waivers cannot exceed the actual tuition/fees charged.

WORK PROGRAMS Work programs such as work-study are need-based awards that allow students employment opportunities. If eligible for work-study, a student can work part time (up to 19 hours a week) to earn money to help meet the costs of education.

STUDENT LOANS Student loans, unlike grants, scholarships, and work-study, are borrowed funds that MUST be repaid with interest. Several different types of loans, both need-based and non-need-based, are available to CWI students and their parents.

IMPORTANT: Before accepting a student loan, please consider the amount to be repaid. CWI recommends reading the U.S. Department of Education’s publication, Your Federal Loans: Learn the Basics and Manage Your Debt, which is available at www.studentaid.ed.gov.

ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL AIDThree components are used to determine eligibility for financial aid: Cost of Attendance (COA), Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and Financial Need.

1. COST OF ATTENDANCE BUDGET (COA) The COA is constructed using averages for CWI’s student

population and may include some or all of the following: tuition, fees, books and supplies, room and board, transporta-tion, dependent-care expenses (if applicable), loan-origination fees (if applicable), and personal allowance.

A student’s COA takes into consideration their permanent address (state of residency), housing plans while in school, and enrollment status (the number of credits enrolled in each semester). CWI uses standardized amounts or calculations for each of these budget items and customizes each student’s budget according to the factors described above.

2. EXPECTED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION (EFC) A student’s EFC is computed by the U.S. Department of Education using the information provided on the FAFSA appli-cation and appears on the Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR is delivered by e-mail if an e-mail address was included on the FAFSA.

IMPORTANT: A student’s EFC may not reflect your actual out-of-pocket expenses; it is a mathematical tool based on a standard-ized formula used by the U.S. Department of Education to calcu-late your financial aid eligibility.

3. FINANCIAL NEED A student’s original Financial Need is determined by subtracting EFC from COA.

EXAMPLE:

If Cost of Attendance (COA) is $13,264

and Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is $1,000,

Financial Need is $13,264 - $1,000 = $12,264.

AWARD NOTIFICATIONSWith the above information, CWI will determine a student’s eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant first and then attempt to locate other forms of financial aid to meet the remaining unmet need (if any exists). Student loans are always considered last.

After completing the FAFSA application and all documentation requirements students will receive an email directing them to their award notification on https://mycwi.cc. The Award Notification will contain the Cost of Attendance, the Expected Family Contribution, and the financial aid awards for which a student is eligible. More information on the Award Notification can be found at http://cwidaho.cc/current-students/your-cwi-financial-aid-award-notification.

IMPORTANT: Eligibility for most financial aid awards, including award amounts, is determined in part by enrollment status. Awards are adjusted or prorated according to the rules for each award at the start of each semester. Financial aid applicants should ALWAYS register for classes as early as possible in order to allow for adequate time to make adjustments (if necessary). Making changes to a class schedule after the fifth day of instruc-tion (second day in the summer semester) may cause delays in delivering financial aid while required adjustments are made.

FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENTSEvery CWI student has a student account. When a student registers for classes, the student’s account is charged for tuition, fees, and special course fees (if any).

Once the FAFSA application is complete, all required documen-tation has been submitted, and an award notification is issued, financial aid awards will appear on myCWI for the student’s

review. Students can accept, decline, or reduce aid amounts in myCWI.

ATTENDANCE CONFIRMATIONEach semester, instructors are asked to confirm a student began attendance in each class electronically. Students marked as never attended and subsequently dropped from courses will have their aid adjusted accordingly.

Accepted financial aid for which all requirements have been met will be released to students’ accounts on the census date each semester. The census date is the tenth day of instruction in fall and spring semesters and the fifth day of instruction in the summer semester. If financial aid funds exceed the amount owed to CWI, a refund will be made available to the student after the census date*.

IMPORTANT: Financial aid awards will be “locked” each semester on the census day (tenth day of instruction, fifth day of instruc-tion in the summer) prior to the calculation of any refund for classes lasting the entire semester length. Adding and/or drop-ping classes after the fifth day of instruction (second day in the summer) may cause a change in aid offered and/or delayed delivery of a financial aid refund. Be sure to add/drop any classes necessary as early as possible each semester.

*NOTE: Some courses and/or programs may have their own census dates which differ from the semester census dates and may change the date of disbursement and refund.

REFUNDSFinancial aid funds are used first to pay direct institutional costs (tuition, fees, and other institutional charges). If financial aid funds are less than the amount owed to CWI for tuition, fees, and other institutional charges, payment or satisfactory payment arrangements are expected by the payment due date published in the academic calendar each semester. If financial aid funds exceed the amount owed to CWI for tuition, fees, and other institutional charges, a refund will be issued.

RETURNING FINANCIAL AIDA student has the right to cancel all or a portion of their student loan(s) within 14 days from the disbursement date. The funds MUST be returned (DO NOT VOID CHECK) within 10 days of disbursement to allow for the processing of the loan return.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) FOR FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITYAll degree/certificate seeking students who have completed the college admission requirements and have been granted admission to the College of Western Idaho must meet the following standards in order to establish and maintain eligi-bility for financial aid and scholarships. The Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) are monitored and enforced in all periods of enrollment. The Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress are evaluated and students are notified of their current SAP standing at the conclusion of each period of enrollment.

1. GPA REQUIREMENT Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 (see “Terms and Definitions”).

PLEASE NOTE: Some financial aid and scholarship awards have higher GPA requirements.

2. PACE OF COMPLETION REQUIREMENT Students must progress toward completion of their declared degree/certificate while maintaining a minimum 67% completion rate. The completion rate is calculated by dividing the cumulative number of credit hours a student has successfully completed by the cumulative number of credit hours a student has attempted (see “Terms and Definitions”).

3. MAXIMUM TIME FRAME REQUIREMENT Students must be able to complete their declared degree or certificate program within 150% of the published number of credit hours required to complete the program. For example, if the published length of an Associate of Arts degree is 64 credit hours; students must be able to complete their degree within 96 attempted credit hours. The maximum timeframe calculation is performed as follows:

All CWI/CSI credit hours attempted (including repeated credits), plus (+);

All credit hours transferred* from other colleges/universities, minus (-);

All remedial credit hours attempted (course numbers lower than 100), equals (=);

The TOTAL number of credit hours used to deter-mine current progress toward degree/certificate.

* All transfer credit hours accepted by the College are counted as both attempted and completed credits and are included in the maximum time frame calculation (see “Appeals - Regaining Eligibility for Aid”).

PLEASE NOTE: If a SAP review makes it clear that a student cannot mathematically complete his/her declared degree/certificate program or the student cannot raise his/her cumula-tive GPA to the minimum 2.00 within the maximum time frame, the student is placed on “Suspension” (see “Notifications,” “Appeals & Reinstatement”).

− Students who change declared degree/certificate programs prior to completion may do so, however all attempted credits in all degree programs are included in the maximum timeframe calculation (see “Appeals - Regaining Eligibility for Aid”).

– Students who have previously completed the requirements for a degree/certificate at CWI/CSI and who wish to earn

an additional degree/certificate may do so, however, all attempted credits that fill degree requirements - including elective requirements - will be counted (see “Appeals - Regaining Eligibility for Aid”).

NOTIFICATIONSThe Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress are evaluated and students are notified of their current SAP standings at the conclusion of each period of enrollment.

Please Note: If a SAP review makes it clear that a student cannot mathematically complete his/her declared degree/certificate program or the student cannot raise his/her

cumulative GPA to the minimum 2.00 within the maximum time frame in any status (“Good Standing,” “Warning,” or

“Probation”), the student will be placed on “Suspension” (see “Appeals - Regaining Eligibility for Aid”).

“GOOD STANDING”– Students who are meeting all of the Standards of Satisfactory

Academic Progress and are not in a period of “Warning”, “Suspension”, or “Probation” are in good standing and no additional enrollment, advising, or education plan require-ments are specified.

“WARNING”– Students who have been in “Good Standing” and who

have not met one or more of the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress will be placed on “Warning” and strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisor to develop a plan for academic success. A “Warning” does not prevent a student from receiving financial aid and scholarships. A “Warning” is intended to alert the student to a current defi-ciency in their academic progress. Continued lack of prog-ress will ultimately lead to “Suspension”.

“SUSPENSION”– Students who have not met one or more of the Standards

of Satisfactory Academic Progress while on “Warning” will be placed on “Suspension.” Without an approved appeal, students who have been placed on “Suspension” are not eligible for financial aid and scholarships.

– Students who cannot mathematically complete their declared degree/certificate within the maximum time-frame while on any status (“Good Standing”,” Warning”, or “Probation”), will be placed on “Suspension”.

– Students who cannot raise their graduation GPA to the minimum 2.00 within the maximum timeframe in any status (“Good Standing”,” Warning”, or “Probation”), will be placed on “Suspension”.

– Students who have been placed on “Suspension” may appeal. Appeals are reviewed and either approved or denied. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee approval.

“PROBATION”– Students who have been placed on “Suspension” and have

successfully appealed are placed on “Probation” for one period of enrollment. Students placed on “Probation” regain eligibility for financial aid and scholarships; IF

• the student should be able to meet ALL of the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress again by the end of one subsequent period of enrollment; OR

• the student is placed on an “Education Plan” leading to graduation that, if followed, ensures that the student is able to meet ALL of the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress again by a specific point in time. A student placed on an “Education Plan” must complete all courses each semester and meet the GPA requirement outlined by the plan.

33

CALL 208.562.3000

– Students who again begin meeting all of the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress while on “Probation” will be placed in “Good Standing” at the conclusion of the period of enrollment or contract period. Progress in an academic contract is measured at the end of each period of enroll-ment. Students who do not meet all of the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress while on “Probation” or “Education Plan” will again be placed on “Suspension”.

APPEALS—REGAINING ELIGIBILITY FOR AIDStudents who are placed on “Suspension” may appeal if there are extenuating circumstances that led to academic difficul-ties. SAP appeal forms are available online at http://www.cwidaho.cc/current-students/forms-and-publications or from any CWI One Stop Student Services Center.

– Extenuating circumstances are those over which the student has no control and may include death in the student’s imme-diate family, hospitalization, accidents, and illness. Additional supporting documentation may be required.

– Students who are placed on “Suspension” as a result of “Incomplete (I)” or missing grades may also appeal using the standard appeal form and procedure.

SAP Appeals must include:

– A SAP appeal checklist, signed by both the student and a CWI One Stop Advisor

– Supporting documentation from the student, if any– A printout of the student’s online appointment request/

appeal form– A copy of the student’s education-plan requirements– A copy of the student’s education plan worksheet– A copy of the student’s graduation evaluation listing the

student’s current major, catalog year, and remaining course requirements in their degree/certificate plan

SAP Appeals must be reviewed by a CWI One Stop Advisor and may be referred to a committee for review.

– In order for an appeal to be approved, students must either be able to meet the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress by the end of the next period of enrollment; or the student must be placed on an “Education Plan” that, if followed, will ensure that the student will be able to meet the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress by a specific point in time.Please Note: If a review of a SAP appeal makes it clear that a student cannot mathematically complete his/her declared degree/certificate program or cannot raise their graduation GPA to the minimum 2.00 within the maximum timeframe, the appeal will be summarily denied and the student will NOT be eligible for financial aid and scholarships.

When considering an appeal:

– Transfer credit hours that do not fulfill graduation require-ments in the student’s current program are excluded from the maximum time frame calculation.

– For a student seeking an additional degree/certificate, all attempted credit hours from a prior degree/certificate that can fill graduation requirements (including elective credit hours) in the additional degree/certificate must be counted. All other attempted credits that do not fulfill graduation requirements (including elective credits) in the additional degree/certificate program are excluded from the maximum time frame calculation.

– Students who successfully appeal are placed on “Probation” or “Education Plan” (see “Notifications”).

from all classes during any semester or fail to complete the enrollment period for which they were registered.

IF A STUDENT MUST DROP A CLASS AT ANY POINT DURING A SEMESTER:Students should consult with their Academic Advisor first. If both the student and advisor agree that it is in the student’s best interest to drop a class, an official Withdrawal Form must be submitted or an online withdrawal must be completed. Classes may be dropped any time prior to the census date (see the academic calendar for specific dates) for a full refund of tuition and fees. Financial aid will be adjusted to a student’s enrollment status as of census.

Please Note: Some courses have their own census date and financial aid may be adjusted for these courses when a student fails to begin attendance or cannot progress to the next course based on performance in a pre-requisite course.

IF A STUDENT MUST DROP A CLASS AFTER THE CENSUS DATE:Dropping a class after the census date may result in a student not meeting the satisfactory progress standards. A student not meeting the satisfactory progress standard may receive a financial aid suspension notification (please see the Financial Aid Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress above). Be sure to read this notification carefully! It will contain impor-tant information about what to do next.

IF A STUDENT WITHDRAWS OR FAILS TO COMPLETE A SEMESTER:A complete withdrawal, unsatisfactory grades in all courses, or failing to attend the full period of enrollment may result

in a student being required to repay some or all of the finan-cial aid received to CWI, the U.S. Department of Education, or both. A student will also receive written notification concerning options once the withdrawal process and evalua-tion of aid earned is completed. If a student fails to officially withdraw, CWI will communicate with instructors in order to determine a student’s last date of attendance and may use that date or the midpoint of the enrollment period to calcu-late the amount of financial aid earned.

Please carefully read any correspondence received in refer-ence to the withdrawal process and evaluation of aid earned. CWI may be required to report overpayments of federal grants to the U.S. Department of Education’s Collection unit if no repayment arrangements are made within 45 days of being notified.

IMPORTANT: A class drop, withdrawal, or administrative with-drawal may affect a student’s ability to receive financial aid in the future at any college or university.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCESSometimes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) does not adequately reflect a family’s current situation due to special circumstances such as death, divorce or separa-tion, disability, high medical expenses, reduction of income, or loss of employment, etc. If a student or a student’s parents has experienced any of the above situations, please consult with a CWI Financial Aid Advisor at a One Stop Student Services location about the possibility of filing a special-circumstances appeal.

Academic CalendarCWI operates on the semester system. The academic year includes two 16-week semesters (fall and spring) and multiple summer terms. The academic calendar appears at the begin-ning of this catalog and is available online.

In addition to full semester-length courses, CWI will offer short courses, such as 4-week or 8-week courses. Day, evening, weekend, and online courses are available in order to meet the needs of students who have work or family responsibilities.

College Credit HoursThe College of Western Idaho (CWI) grants credit for college work based on the national standard of the Carnegie Unit. CWI defines a credit hour as follows:

A credit, sometimes referred to as semester credit or semester hour, is related to time spent in class, study, preparation, labo-ratory, or field experience.

One semester credit hour normally requires 45 hours of students work, or:

1. 50 Minutes in class each week for one semester (which assumes twice this amount of time in study and preparation outside the classroom), or

2. Two to three hours in laboratory each week for a semester, or

3. The equivalent combinations of 1 and 2.

Credit for workshops and short courses is granted on the basis of one semester credit for 45 hours of scholarly activity.

Course NumberingThe following numbering system is used for all credit courses offered by CWI:

– ZERO LEVEL (000–099): Course content is considered below college-freshman level. These courses are not applicable for graduation.

– ONE HUNDRED LEVEL (100–199): Course content taught at the college-freshman level.

– TWO HUNDRED LEVEL (200–299): Course content taught at the college-sophomore level.

Student Class LevelThe following number of completed credits determines a student’s class level:

CLASS LEVEL CREDITS COMPLETED

Freshman 1–25

Sophomore 26 or more

Student Enrollment StatusFULL-TIME STUDENTS: Degree-seeking students taking 12 or more credits per term

PART-TIME STUDENTS: Degree-seeking students taking fewer than 12 credits per term

NON-MATRICULATED STUDENTS: Non-degree-seeking students

Student Records

PRIVACY OF STUDENT RECORDSThe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.

FERPA was designed to protect the privacy of students’ educa-tional records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their educational records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data. CWI may release directory information as allowed by law.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level (e.g., a college or university). Students to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible students.”

− Eligible students have the right to inspect and review their education records maintained by the school

S− Eligible students have the right to request that a school

correct records that they believe to be inaccurate or misleading

− Generally, schools must have written permission from the eligible student in order to release any information from the student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

• School officials with legitimate educational interest • Other schools to which a student is transferring • Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes • Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a

student • Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf

of the school • Accrediting organizations • To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued

subpoena • Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety

emergencies • State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice

system, pursuant to specific state law

Schools may disclose, without consent, directory informa-tion. Eligible students may request that the school not disclose directory information about them.

DIRECTORY INFORMATION is defined as the following:− Student’s name − Student’s address− Student’s phone number − Student’s e-mail address− Student’s photograph − Enrollment status− Most recent previous − Full-time/part-time status

educational agency − Dates of attendance or institution attended − Major − Freshman/sophomore standing − Degrees conferred and− Candidacy for degrees/ dates certificates and anticipated − Awards and honors date of graduation received

A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, counseling, faculty, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the College has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using College employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, external evaluator, medical service provider, law enforcement or security personnel, or collection agent); a person serving on the CWI Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to access/review an education record in order to fulfill his or her responsibilities for the College. Any school official who needs information about a student in the course of performing instructional, supervisory, advisory, or admin-istrative duties for the College has a legitimate educational interest. The information must not be used for personal or other purposes extraneous to the official’s areas of responsi-bility. Having access to education records does not constitute authority to share this information with anyone who does not have legitimate educational interest.

Any student may submit a Request for Directory Hold Form to One Stop Student Services to prevent the release of directory information. Any student may also submit a written request to review his/her records to One Stop Student Services. Records

covered by FERPA will be made available to the student within 45 days. In general, the College is not required to provide copies of the education records requested unless failure to do so would effectively prevent the eligible student from exercising the right to inspect and review the records. The College may charge a reasonable fee for preparing copies for the student. A college representative may be present during the review of the records and may provide information regarding the interpreta-tion of such records to the student. Students may not inspect financial information submitted by parents or guardians, confi-dential letters associated with admission, and records to which they have waived their inspection rights. The College will not release records that are not owned by the College.

Any eligible student has the right to file a complaint under FERPA with the U.S. Department of Education Family Policy Compliance Office concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the Act. Complaints must be sent in writing, with all pertinent information, to the following address:

FAMILY POLICY COMPLIANCE OFFICE U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-5920

DECLARING/CHANGING A MAJORDegree-seeking students declare a program of study (major) during the admissions process. Purposefully selecting and declaring a major helps a student clarify his or her educational goals. Academic advisors are available at One Stop Student Services to help students make this important decision.

Degree-seeking students should meet with an advisor before deciding to change a major, as changing a previously declared major may affect eligibility for financial aid and veterans bene-fits. It may also increase the time it takes to complete a degree or certificate. Major changes should be limited, and a student cannot change his or her major once the census date of the semester has passed. Major changes accepted after the census date will be effective for the next semester.

Non-degree-seeking, Dual Credit, and Tech Prep students must first complete all admissions requirements before declaring a major. These students – whether new or continuing – must request a change to degree-seeking status and declare a major before the admissions deadline of the semester for which they wish to enroll. Non-degree-seeking, Dual Credit, and Tech Prep students are not eligible for Federal Financial Aid.

TRANSCRIPTSTranscripts are part of a student’s permanent academic record. They show all the courses in which the student was officially enrolled, the final grade for each course, any in-progress courses, the courses from which the student was withdrawn, credits attempted and credits completed, courses repeated, semester and cumulative grade point averages, and degrees or certificates earned.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTSCWI has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide online transcript ordering for official transcripts. Official transcripts will be released only after the student has fulfilled all financial obligations to CWI.

The student’s signature is required to release a transcript.

UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTSCurrent students may access unofficial transcripts online through myCWI, free of charge.

NOTE: CWI makes every effort to ensure that transcripts are accurate. If a student believes there is an error or omission on the transcript, he or she should contact [email protected] with copies of relevant documentation.

A 4 Excellent Yes

B 3 Good Yes

C 2 Satisfactory Yes

D 1 Unsatisfactory (not consid-ered passing in all classes)

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)For each student, CWI calculates several types of grade point average (GPA), depending on where and how the GPA is used.

OFFICIAL & UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT GPA TYPES

TERM GPA Includes all coursework receiving a grade of A, B, C, D, or F (including developmental coursework) taken during a specific term at CWI. This GPA appears on the CWI transcript as “Term GPA.” Term GPA is used to calculate the President’s List and Dean’s List.

INSTITUTIONAL GPA Includes all coursework receiving a grade of A, B, C, D, or F (including developmental coursework) a student has taken while at CWI. This GPA appears on the CWI transcript as “Inst GPA.” Institutional GPA is used to calculate academic standing.

CUMULATIVE GPA Includes all coursework receiving a grade of A, B, C, D, or F (including developmental coursework) a student has taken while

at CWI and all college-level transfer coursework accepted by CWI. This GPA appears on the CWI transcript as “Cum GPA.”

GRADUATION GPA TYPES

INSTITUTIONAL GPA FOR GRADUATION (EXCLUDES DEVELOPMENTAL COURSEWORK) Includes all college-level coursework receiving a grade of A, B, C, D, or F a student has taken while at CWI. This GPA appears on the student’s program evaluation (degree-audit report). This GPA is used to determine honors received at graduation.

* NOTE: See page 44 for more information about graduation honors.

OVERALL GPA FOR GRADUATION (EXCLUDES DEVELOPMENTAL COURSEWORK) Includes all college-level coursework receiving a grade of A, B, C, D, or F a student has taken while at CWI and all college-level transfer coursework accepted by CWI. This GPA appears on the student’s program evaluation (degree-audit report) as “Overall GPA.” This GPA is used to determine if a student meets the minimum 2.0 GPA required to graduate.

QUALITY POINTSQuality points are used to calculate a student’s grade point average (GPA). The number of quality points a student has depends on the grade he/she receives in a course:

A = 4 quality points per credit B = 3 quality points per credit C = 2 quality points per credit D = 1 quality point per credit F = 0 quality points per credit

The student’s total number of quality points is calculated based on this equation: Number of quality points earned in a class (example: 4) x Number of credits that class is worth (example: 3) = Total number of quality points (4 x 3 = 12)

For example, let’s say in one semester a student receives: – An A in a three-credit course

(4 quality points per credit x 3 = 12 quality points)– A B in a two-credit course (3 quality points per credit x 2 = 6 quality points)– An F in a one-credit course (0 quality points per credit x 1 = 0 quality points)– No grade in an audited three-credit course (0 quality points)**– An incomplete in a three-credit course (0 quality points)**

In this example, the student would have earned: 12 + 6 + 0 = 18 (Total number of quality points)

** Note: Audited courses and courses in which a student receives an “incomplete” grade are not used to calculate GPA.

CALCULATING GPAA student’s GPA is calculated based on this equation: Total number of quality points ÷ Total number of credits taken = GPA

In the above example, this would be: 18 (Total number of quality points) ÷ 6 (Total number of credits taken) = 3 (GPA)

INCOMPLETE GRADESAt the discretion of the instructor, a grade of incomplete (I) may be assigned in a course where:

− The student has completed more than 50 percent of the course

− The student is maintaining a passing grade− The instructor judges the student’s inability to complete the

course due to legitimate unforeseen causes

The instructor must indicate what course requirements the student has left to complete. The remaining requirements must be listed on the Incomplete Grade Contract and must be deter-mined prior to the final examination date. A copy of the contract is kept on file as part of the student’s record with the Registrar.

A term grade of I must be changed to a final grade within one week of the extension deadline. After that time, the grade will automatically be changed to an F, and the student must repeat the course to receive credit. The student is responsible for completing all outstanding course requirements and for working with the instructor to initiate the grade change.

REPEATING COURSESThe effect of repeating a course is as follows:

− Only the grade for the most recent iteration of the course will count in the GPA.

− All iterations of the course will continue to show on the tran-script with their respective grades.

− Certain courses may be repeated and the credits accumu-lated. For all others, the previous course is marked to show that it has been repeated.

LIMITED ATTEMPTS Any student wishing to improve his/her grade in a course to meet core or degree requirements may register to repeat a course. A student may register directly into the course on his/her first two attempts.

NOTE: Some programs may not allow multiple attempts for a course.

Any student wishing to register for a third attempt at a course must meet with Student Services prior to registration as a measure to help facilitate student success.

Courses dropped within the first 10 days of the semester are excluded from the three-registrations maximum. Also excluded from this policy are courses that can be taken multiple times for additional credit, such as fitness-activity courses, private music lessons, and art-studio classes.

Petitions to register beyond three attempts must be made through the assistant dean over the department.

NOTE: Please refer to the Financial Aid portion of the Catalog to review how numerous attempts at a course may affect Financial Aid eligibility. Students receiving VA Education benefits should contact a VA Specialist prior to repeating any coursework.

ATTENDANCEThe College recognizes that regular attendance is the student’s responsibility. The instructor may evaluate the lack of atten-dance in terms of the course requirements and take a reason-able course of action. An instructor may initiate a drop for non-attendance if the student is not present during the first two weeks of class.

A class missed due to required participation in a verified school activity will not be considered an absence. Students who miss class or are absent for any reason are still responsible for completing all course requirements. When the number of class hours absent exceeds the number of course credits, the instructor has the authority to send a notice to the student as a warning and/or refer the student to his/her advisor.

Students must withdraw themselves if they decide not to complete any classes. Students who stop attending yet do not drop/withdraw from their classes will get failing grades (or whatever grades they earned). After 75 percent of the term has elapsed (twelfth week of the semester for fall and spring full-semester classes) students cannot initiate drops/with-drawals. Students will be issued grades after this deadline.

EXAMINATIONSAny student absent from a written test shall be regarded as having failed that test. However, if such absence is caused by some unavoidable, extenuating circumstance (the burden of proof lies with the student and the final determination lies with the instructor), the instructor shall give a comparable test to the student at a later date.

SStudent AppealsCWI strives to provide a positive experience for students and guests of the College. Occasionally issues arise that need to be brought to the attention of the appropriate department. One Stop Student Services can listen to students’ concerns and help them understand the steps necessary to review and address exceptions or concerns.

APPEAL OF ACADEMIC POLICY OR REQUIREMENTAn appeal of an academic policy, requirement, or deadline will most likely be reviewed by the appropriate dean(s). Relevant documentation of the extenuating circumstances or undue hardship will be required and the timeliness of the appeal will also be considered.

NOTE: Any student has the right to appeal admission and scho-lastic regulations. All written appeals must be submitted to the respective CWI official(s).

GRADE APPEALAny student may appeal a grade that he/she feels is in error through the grade-appeal process. The entire grade-appeal process is focused on fairness for students and faculty. There are specific guidelines and procedures that must be followed in each grade appeal. This detailed information is available from One Stop Student Services.

NOTE: The grade-appeal process must be started and the paper-work formally submitted to One Stop Student Services no later than 30 calendar days after grades have been posted.

For more information about appeals, please contact One Stop Student Services at 208.562.3000 or www.cwidaho.cc/contact.

President’s List & Dean’s ListThe President’s List and Dean’s List are semester-based distinc-tions available to full-time students (students who completed 12 or more credits from graded courses within any given semester).

PRESIDENT’S LIST: 4.00 Term GPA DEAN’S LIST: 3.50 to 3.99 Term GPA

Grades of Incomplete (I) or missing grades will prevent a student from receiving honors.

Unsatisfactory-Performance RegulationsACADEMIC ALERT AND PROBATIONTo be in good academic standing at CWI, students must have a 2.00 minimum cumulative CWI/CSI grade point average (GPA). Students who earn a cumulative GPA between 1.50 and 1.99 are placed on Academic Alert status for the following semester. Those students who earn a cumulative GPA below a 1.50 are placed on Academic Probation status for the following semester. Students on Academic Alert or Academic Probation are strongly encouraged to work closely with their major advi-sors to plan a successful course of action each semester. A student will remain on Academic Alert or Academic Probation status until his/her cumulative GPA returns to at least a 2.00.

ACADEMIC SUSPENSIONTo be in good academic standing at CWI, students must have a 2.00 minimum cumulative CWI/CSI grade point average (GPA). Students who enroll under an Academic Probation status and then do not earn at least a 1.50 GPA for that specific semester are placed on Academic Suspension status. These students are then blocked from the registration process and must comply with the College requirements under that status to return.

A student will be removed from Academic Suspension status once his/her most recent CWI/CSI semester GPA returns to 1.50 or higher.

SUSPENSION CONTRACTThe Suspension Contract’s primary objectives are to assist an Academic Suspension student in repairing his/her academic standing and to provide supportive services in order to achieve educational goals set forth.

A student on Academic Suspension status will be notified by the Registrar’s Office that his/her registration access is blocked and he/she must contact an advisor to participate in the Suspension Contract process in order to enroll in classes. Suspension Contract Agreements must be completed by the end of the semester registration period.

NOTE: Students on Academic Probation status who have regis-tered before the reporting of semester grades will need to complete Suspension Contracts if their final grades place them on Academic Suspension status. Failure to complete a contract will result in the student being dropped from his/her classes by the Registrar’s Office immediately following the end of the semester registration date.

A student is allowed to have one unsuccessful contract while on a Suspension Contract. Once a student produces an unsuc-cessful contract while participating in the Suspension Contract process, he/she will be dismissed from school for the next enrollment term (excluding summer term).

When a student returns to CWI after dismissal, he/she will again be held under the same Suspension Contract program proce-dures and conditions, with the next suspension period being for one full academic year (fall, spring, and summer terms).

Appeals associated with the Suspension Contract process must be made, in writing, to the Dean of Enrollment and Student Services. The Dean of Enrollment and Student Services or his/her designee will conduct the appeal process and shall provide a final decision to the appellant. The Dean of Enrollment and Student Services’ decision is final.

For more detailed information regarding the Suspension Contract procedures, please contact One Stop Student Services at 208.562.3000 or www.cwidaho.cc/contact.

ACADEMIC RENEWALCWI recognizes that conditions are not always ideal for students when they attempt to pursue a college education. In an effort to encourage students who have done poorly in the past but are doing well at present, CWI will allow a student to petition the Registrar for Academic Renewal. It is not the intent of this policy

to allow students with minimum grades of C to raise their

GPAs through the Academic

Renewal process.

The

student must submit a written petition to have all coursework disregarded for a specific term for the computation of total credits, the computation of cumulative grade point average, and the completion of graduation requirements for the student’s academic record—but the coursework will still appear on the student’s transcript with the actual grade given.

Eligibility for Academic Renewal is subject to the following conditions:

− Only a term containing at least one grade of D or at least one grade of F may be considered for Academic Renewal.

− One year must have elapsed since the term for which the student is applying for Academic Renewal.

− The student must have completed at least 12 graded credits (pass/fail credits do not count) at CWI in four terms or fewer with a cumulative grade point average in the subsequent terms of 2.5 or higher.

− The student will submit his/her petition in writing stating in full why he/she should be considered for Academic Renewal.NOTE: Academic Renewal may be applied for only once during a student’s academic career at CWI and may be applied to one term only. Not all transfer institutions recognize Academic Renewal. Some honor it and others ignore it and record the actual grade. Student Financial Aid does not recognize Academic Renewal.

Alternative CreditMany students entering CWI bring a depth of knowledge in specific subjects that have been gained through life experiences or a variety of areas of study. Students who have been accepted and are currently enrolled as CWI students may convert this learning into alternative credit. CWI provides students several opportunities to receive undergraduate credit on the basis of satisfactory standardized testing performance or challenging courses in one or more of the areas listed below.

Alternative credit will not be awarded and may not be used to replace or repeat courses already recorded on the student’s transcript at CWI/CSI or elsewhere.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (CBE)CWI allows several alternative methods of receiving credit for coursework other than the traditional credit received by enrolling in and passing a particular course. Students may acquire up to one-third (21 credits of a 64-credit degree) of their credits in their declared majors through Credit by Examination (CBE) methods. However, this may vary by major. Students are assessed 20 percent of the Idaho Resident Tuition for each credit acquired by CBE methods in addition to testing fees and any other tuition and fees. CBE credits may not be used as part of the credits supporting a student’s financial aid award. Credits received in this manner count toward the credit requirements for graduation, a grade of pass (P) is given, and they are not computed in the student’s grade point average. CWI requires that any student receiving an associate degree take an English composition course. Students who pass out of ENGL 101 and ENGL 102 via the CBE process are required to take ENGL 201—Intermediate Expository Composition.

For all methods of CBE, credits count toward graduation, a grade of pass (P) is given, and they are not included in the GPA. Methods of CBE include:

SADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) Advanced Placement exams are used by high school students who are advanced enough in a specific subject area to place them in a more-advanced term of study in that subject matter. Certain AP score-level benchmarks allow students to gain CBE.

AMERICAN COLLEGE TESTING PROGRAM (ACT) American College Testing assessment measures high school students’ general-educational development and their capa-bility to complete college-level work. Certain ACT score-level benchmarks allow students to gain CBE.

AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (ACE)American Council on Education guides are evaluations of instruction performed in the private sector of the military. Certain ACE score-level benchmarks allow students to gain CBE.

CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT HOURSA student may challenge a course with the permission of the PTE dean or AVP of Academic Affairs, assistant dean, and instructor by passing a comprehensive test for that course with a minimum grade of C.

NOTE: Not every course may be challenged. Check with the appropriate department head to see if the course you wish to challenge may be challenged.

COLLEGE-LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)CWI accepts Subject Matter CLEP scores for equivalent courses. The student who submits official CLEP Subject Matter examina-tion scores must apply for admission and enroll at CWI or be enrolled at the College at the time of submission of CLEP scores.

If the score submitted is at or above the approved score, the student will receive credit for the equivalent course(s). The Subject Matter examination will show the corresponding CWI course number and title.

Please visit www.clep.collegeboard.org to learn about applicable testing fees and how to register for CLEP testing.

DANTES SUBJECT STANDARDIZED TESTS (DSST) CWI accepts DSST scores for equivalent courses. The student who submits official DSST scores must apply for admission and enroll at CWI or be enrolled at the College at the time of submission of DSST scores.

If the score submitted is at or above the approved score, the student will receive credit for the equivalent course(s). The DSST examination will show the corresponding CWI course number and title.

Please visit www.getcollegecredit.com to learn about applicable testing fees and how to register for DSST testing.

CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING (CPL)In order to allow professional-technical division students the ability to gain CPL, students have the option to submit port-folios detailing the competencies they possess in order to receive either full or partial credit for classes required for either the Basic Technical Certificate (BTC), Intermediate Technical Certificate (ITC), or Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree options at CWI. A student must enroll in INSS 288 Portfolio Development after receiving permission from the course instructor to gain CPL. An assigned Portfolio Evaluation Team will establish the method by which the student will demonstrate

subject matter competency. A student may acquire up to one-fourth of the credits required for a certificate or degree through the CPL method.

Students are assessed 20 percent of the CWI Idaho resident tuition for each credit acquired by CPL. Credits received in this manner may count toward the credit requirements for gradua-tion, a grade of “P” is given, and CPL credits are not computed in the student’s GPA.

VERTICAL CREDITA student may receive vertical credit for a prerequisite course with the permission of the PTE dean or AVP of Academic Affairs, assistant dean, and the instructor if the student passes the more-advanced course with a minimum grade of C, e.g., a student who took Spanish in high school may have sufficient proficiency to bypass SPAN 101 and enroll in SPAN 102. If a student successfully completes SPAN 102, he/she may submit the required paperwork to One Stop Student Services to earn credit for SPAN 101.

Articulation and Transfer

TRANSFER FROM CWICWI offers courses and programs designed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. A student who plans to transfer should consult with a CWI advisor and make early contact with a representative from the institution to which he/ she intends to transfer. It is also recommended that students consult the catalog of the transfer institution to see which courses will be required to fulfill graduation requirements.

NOTE: Any CWI course with a number below 100 is considered below a college freshman level and will not be accepted for transfer credit.

TRANSFER WITHIN IDAHOCWI has transfer articulation agreements with all Idaho public colleges and universities, ensuring that students who receive an Associate of Arts (AA) or an Associate of Science (AS) degree may transfer their degree to any public four-year school in Idaho. Students who receive an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree may transfer a minimum of 15 credits to all in-state public higher education institutions.

Students who complete requirements for the AA or AS degree will be considered as satisfying the General Education Requirement upon transfer to a four year public institution in Idaho and will not be required to complete any additional General Education Requirements.

Students who have completed the 36-credit General Education program without an AA or AS degree upon transfer to another Idaho public postsecondary institution will not be required to complete additional General Education requirements at the receiving institution.

IDAHO GENERAL EDUCATION MATRICULATION (GEM)All public, post-secondary institutions in Idaho recognize the articulation of General Education Matriculation (GEM) courses, identified within Written and Oral Communication and Ways of Knowing categories of the general education framework. If a student has completed GEM courses but has not completed the entire General Education Framework or an AA or AS degree, those GEM courses will satisfy the associated GEM course requirement at the receiving institution. This policy applies to general education, lower-division requirements only. It does not categorically apply to specialized course requirements within the major, e.g., engineering, pharmacy, business, etc. Any student majoring in a degree program who plans to transfer specialized courses should consult with his/her advisor and make early contact with a representative from the institution to which he/she intends to transfer.

TRANSFER OUTSIDE IDAHOCWI also has articulation agreements with other Idaho and out-of-state institutions. For more information, please contact One Stop Student Services at 208.562.3000 or www.cwidaho.cc/future-students/transfer-information.

TRANSFER TO CWIThis CWI accepts transfer credits from postsecondary institu-tions accredited by a regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The list of regional accrediting agencies can be found at: http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Agencies.aspx.

Transfer students who have earned an Associate degree or higher or who have completed the general education core from any regionally accredited institution will be considered core certified, and will not be required to take additional lower division general education core courses. Transfer students must provide official transcripts that show the degree earned or the completion of general education core from the transfer-ring institution.

Transfer students who have completed coursework at region-ally accredited institutions but who have not earned a degree or completed the general education core should submit official transcripts for course by course evaluation. Those students who have met CWI’s general-education core with transfer coursework will be considered core certified. Major courses are evaluated on a course-by-course basis regardless of whether the student has earned a degree or completed general education core at any regionally accredited institution. Transfer students must complete their final 15 credits or a total of 50 credits at CWI.

GraduationStudents may graduate at any time upon meeting all gradu-ation requirements (e.g., at the end of the fall, spring, or summer semester). CWI students should submit Graduation Applications within one semester of completing their degrees or certificates. Once an application is received, an evaluation specialist will review the application and notify the student if he/she is an eligible candidate for graduation.

Students do not automatically have their degrees conferred. They must apply for graduation online or at One Stop Student Services. Students must apply for graduation whether or not they are planning to participate in the commencement cere-monies. The degree will only be conferred and the diploma will only be issued if all graduation requirements have been met and all financial obligations to the College have been fulfilled.

Whether transferring to a four-year school or entering the workforce upon graduation, it is very important to apply for graduation. An associate degree or intermediate technical certificate can help a student further his or her education and career. The number of credits students can transfer to four-year schools and their transfer status may also be impacted.

GRADUATION WITH HONORSCWI recognizes academic distinction at graduation based on the institutional GPA for graduation (see page 39 for more information).

SUMMA CUM LAUDE: Graduating with highest praise; students who graduate with a 3.90–4.00 GPA

MAGNA CUM LAUDE: Graduating with great praise; students who graduate with 3.70–3.89 GPA

CUM LAUDE: Graduating with praise; students who graduate with 3.50–3.69 GPA

These distinctions are recognized on a student’s tran-script and diploma. Graduates may wear gold cords during the commencement ceremony.

Grades of Incomplete (I) or missing grades will prevent a student from receiving these honors and only the institutional GPA for graduation will be considered (excluding developmental coursework and transfer credits). These graduation honors apply only

to Associate degrees (AA, AS, AAS), not to Academic Certificates (AC), Advanced Technical Certificates (ATC),

Intermediate Technical Certificates (ITC), or Basic Technical Certificates (BTC).

MILITARY PRIOR CREDITThe College of Western Idaho accepts transfer credits from military transcripts of education and training courses students have taken while in the military. CWI follows the credit recom-mendations of ACE; these recommendations can be found in the Guide to Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Credit for these courses will be applied to the student’s account 5-10 business days after receiving the official military transcript. Most courses will be used to fulfill general elective requirements; those that are more specific to a degree requirement will need approval from the appropriate dean.

ARMY ROTC PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

CWI students who are interested in Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) can co-enroll with the Boise State University Army ROTC Detachment for their first two years of military science coursework while completing their associate

degrees. Students could go on to complete their bachelor’s degrees with BSU.

Student LifeThe Student Life Office supports three distinct areas:

– Student clubs and organizations − Student governance − Student conduct

The College believes that these three areas provide a strong beginning for a vibrant, student-responsive campus commu-nity. Together, these student life areas create opportunities for students to have a voice in the governance of our campuses, create specific student-run groups to directly respond to student interest and foster student involvement within the College and the greater community, and develop a strong student-managed code of conduct. Student Life staff can be contacted at [email protected].

It is widely acknowledged that the five conditions of supportive student retention are meeting expectations, advice, support, involvement, and learning (Tinto, 1997 & 2001). The College supports these elements of student life to

foster retention and student success by developing program frameworks to evolve into a fully operational Student Life area that includes clubs and organizations, student governance and student conduct.

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONSCollege is more than just attending lectures, writing papers, and taking exams. It is also about enhancing the college expe-rience by participating in campus clubs, organizations, and other activities outside of the classroom. Students who partici-pate in campus activities will be able to:

− Meet new people − Develop new leadership skills and gain practical experience − Serve the community − Gain new experiences and information − Explore new ideas, career opportunities, and goals

Students who want to get involved on campus and join one of CWI’s United Registered Organizations and Clubs (UROC) should visit the Student Life website for the most up-to-date club list. Students who wish to start their own club or organi-zation should contact the Student Life Office at [email protected] for assistance.

The Student Life website can be located at https://cwidaho.cc/studentclubs

STUDENT GOVERNANCEThe Associated Students of the College of Western Idaho (ASCWI) consists of all tuition-paying members of the College of Western Idaho. The ASCWI Government and its clubs and organizations will be the voice of the student body.

The ASCWI includes Executive (ASCWI President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian), Legislative (ASCWI Senators), and Judicial Branches. The ASCWI develops and upholds the constitution, bylaws, senate bills, resolutions, and other ASCWI information.

To contact the ASCWI, please send e-mail to [email protected].

STUDENT CONDUCTCWI and the surrounding community expect all students and employees to practice high levels of academic and professional honesty and integrity. Each member of the College commu-nity is obligated to assume responsibility for his or her own personal freedom and obligations. The College will enforce a high level of personal conduct to create and maintain a learning environment in which the rights, privileges, property, and self-worth of every individual in the College community. are preserved. The College must and will enforce appropriate action when a member’s conduct places the welfare of any person in jeopardy.

The Student Code of Conduct governs the behavior of our student body. The code illustrates the rules, regulations, procedures, policies, and standards of conduct that safe-guard the College community’s functions, protect the campus community, and provide the best possible learning and living environment to all students.

The policies, procedures, and processes (grievances, appeals, etc.) are defined within the CWI Student Handbook. It is the student’s responsibility to read and understand the CWI Student Handbook.

Additional Information

ENGLISH COMPOSITIONCWI requires that students receiving an Associate of Arts or Science degree (AA or AS) take an English composition course. Students who receive credit for ENGL 101 and ENGL 102 via test scores are required to take ENGL 201, Intermediate Expository Composition.

COMPUTER LITERACYThe College of Western Idaho recognizes and advocates the critical need for computer literacy. Basic computer literacy at CWI is defined as a demonstrated ability to use technology to access, manipulate, evaluate, use, and present informa-tion. Students who do not have a confident ability to access and provide information via the Internet and email and to use word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications are encouraged to take advantage of college resources that support and develop these skills. Resources include:

• Computer Information Systems Application (CISA) courses for 1 credit or 3 credits.

• Skill Development Workshops (schedule varies)

COMPASS PLACEMENT GUIDEMany CWI courses, particularly those in the Professional-Technical division, require a certain proficiency level in English and mathematics in order to enroll in entry level courses. These proficiencies are most often measured through our COMPASS placement test. Refer to the table below for a guide as to which scores are equivalent to which CWI courses.

CATALOG POLICY FOR GRADUATIONCWI issues a new catalog for every academic year (fall, spring, and summer consecutive semesters). Students seeking to earn a degree or certificate from CWI must satisfy program gradua-tion requirements, which may change from one catalog to the next.

Students are responsible for remaining informed about these changes.

CWI evaluates students’ degree and/or certificate comple-tion based on the graduation requirements stipulated in the catalog at the time the student matriculates or enters the major.

Students who have maintained “continuous enrollment” or enrolled at CWI for at least one term per academic year, have the option of meeting the graduation requirements stated in the catalog in effect under a more current year. Changing the catalog year is done by submitting a Major Change Form to One Stop Student Services.

Students who lose continuous enrollment status are consid-ered “returning students” and are subject to graduation requirements outlined in the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment in a declared major as a degree-seeking student.

If while enrolled at CWI, a student changes or declares a new major, he/she will be held to the requirements outlined in the catalog in effect at the time of the change. Students will need to complete a Major Change Form and submit it to One Stop Student Services if they desire to change majors officially. CWI recognizes only one declared major; however, students may earn two or more degrees and/or certificates simultaneously, provided students satisfy catalog requirements.

Either the College or the program may find it necessary to update requirements for students who have been enrolled at CWI or in a particular program for a period of five years or more. Substitutions for discontinued courses or program requirements may be authorized or required by the proper college authorities.

All requirements for graduation outlined in the applicable catalog must be met before the degree or certificate is awarded. Students need to follow the catalog in its entirety–they may not elect to follow different catalogs for their college requirements, general-education requirements, and major-program requirements.

Catalog rights do not exempt students from changes in course prerequisites. Students must follow prerequisites stated in the course descriptions in the current catalog. If the addition of course prerequisites increased the total number of credits required for the degree, students are encouraged to meet current course prerequisites, but are not required to do so.

Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution are advised to review that institution’s catalog for catalog rights established for students transferring in from community colleges.

CWI reserves the right to, at any time and without advance notice, withdraw or cancel courses and programs, change course program offerings and prerequisite coursework, change admission and registration requirements, and alter other regulations that could affect matriculated (degree-seeking) students at the time of graduation.

YEARS

IDoTeach has transformed the traditional teacher education model by giving students direct instruction in lesson devel-opment and a chance to teach in their very first semester. Students at CWI will complete the first two years of their STEM degree (often through a Liberal Arts degree) and add four additional education courses (8 credits) to prepare for entrance into the IDoTeach program at BSU. Once in the program at BSU, students take five additional education courses as they complete their Bachelor of Science degree with secondary teacher certification eligibility. Students must earn a 3.0 GPA (B or better) in all education (EDUC) courses and have a 2.75 cumulative GPA to be eligible to enter the program at BSU.

Students in this program must pass a background check before being allowed to teach in K-12 classrooms. Teaching place-ments are arranged through the college. Effort will be made to match students with suitable placements regarding schedule and location.

Sequencing of courses is important in the IDoTeach program. Students are encouraged to meet with an IDoTeach advisor to learn more. The list of courses below identify the core educa-tion classes in the first two years of IDoTeach and should be taken in combination with the courses in a STEM or Liberal Arts degree.

Geology examines all aspects of the physical earth: its mate-rials, processes, and history. Geology is a physical science and therefore requires a solid background in mathematics, chem-istry, and physics. Additionally, geologists need to have good computer and communication skills. Students majoring in Geology at CWI can obtain an AS degree and then transfer to a four-year university to complete their bachelor’s or advanced degrees. Work and career paths for majors vary widely because geology is a broad and diverse science. Geologists typically divide their time between the field, lab, and office. Geologists are typically employed by a variety of organizations, including oil and gas industry, mining companies, environmental-consulting firms, and national and state government agencies.

Information Security and Digital Forensics


Computers around the world are systematically being victim-ized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread, but it is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers can compromise a system, steal everything of value, and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes. The goal of this program is to prepare technicians with skills to help orga-nizations take preemptive measures against malicious attacks.

It is strongly recommended that prospective Information Security and Digital Forensics majors successfully pass the computer skills assessment available at CWI Assessment Centers prior to program enrollment. Understanding of basic computer terminology, Internet navigation, e-mail, Windows operating system features, and file management is essential for success.

Marketing Management


Referred to as an intense “four-semester business boot camp,” the Marketing Management program prepares students for a wide range of business employment opportunities. Many students take advantage of this program to launch a new busi-ness. In just a few years, the program has spawned over 20 new student-driven businesses.

The program offers a wide range of business courses including marketing, advertising, management, financial analysis, management, accounting, and business plan development.

This intense classroom study is supplemented with real-world projects for companies in the community and then applied with a semester-long internship of the student’s chosen discipline.

These projects give the students an insight into the real world. More importantly, the internships give the students confidence that they possess the skills to interact with busi-ness owners. Success begins with building confidence. The response from the local business owners has been very positive.

One of the biggest reasons the program has had success helping students achieve such a wide range of goals is because each student can pursue his or her specific career ambition.
