4. Term Eligibility and CCP Student Enrollment
Amendment of 1E SBCCC – “General Provisions”
On 20 January 2017, the State Board of Community Colleges (“SBCC”) voted to amend 1E SBCCC – “General Provisions.”
The SBCC amended 1E SBCCC – “General Provisions” to clarify the issue of waiver eligibility when a student’s status may change mid-term. The intent is for the waiver to apply to any course section offered during the academic term, regardless of when the term starts, if a student meets the eligibility requirements as of the first day of the term.

5. Term Eligibility and CCP Student Enrollment
The updated section of code requires students be eligible for the CCP program on the first day of the term in order to be eligible for the waiver.
If the student is eligible at the beginning of the term, they are eligible for the whole term.
Think whole term - not sessions. This is a shift from the way we previously advised students in CCP.  
This change may impact rising juniors as they may not be eligible at the start of the term (i.e. summer).
Seniors will still be enrolled in high school (and still in CCP) at the start of the term. Therefore, they will still be eligible for the waiver because they are eligible at the beginning of the term. (Example: The college summer term runs from May 15 – Aug 1. The student would be eligible for classes offered between May 15 – Aug 1.)
Please note, term in the above reference means the entire term (Fall, Spring, or Summer).

CCP Operating Procedures: Future Updates – ADN Pathway/Provisional Entry
Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Pathway (P1032C) and Provisional Status
The ADN pathway does not include a math course. However, the AGE-Nursing degree (which the ADN pathway is a part of) does contain a math course.
To clarify provisional status for ADN pathway students, the following statement will be added to the provisional status section:
**Provisional students in the ADN pathway must complete the first math in the AGE - Nursing degree with a "C "or higher and ENG 111 in the pathway with a "C" or higher before being fully admitted to the ADN pathway.**
***All changes are pending State Board Approval***

CCP Operating Procedures: Future Updates – Awarding Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees

This change comes as the result of feedback from our colleges and discussions with System Office leadership.

10. CCP Operating Procedures: Future Updates – 2015 PSAT 3 Digit Scores
PSAT 3 Digit Scores vs. 2 Digit Scores
Several colleges have expressed the need to include the 3 digit score for the 2015 PSAT as one of the metrics used as an approved assessment benchmark.
With this in mind, we will be adding the 3 digit cut score as an option for the 2015 PSAT. The cut score will reflect the “Backcast” grade level benchmarks for 11th grade.
