History
Del Mar College was founded in 1935, under the control of the Board of Trust-
ees of the Corpus Christi Independent School District, to provide two years of
post-secondary education. In 1951, the College became an independent political
subdivision, legally Corpus Christi Junior College District. In 1999, the Board of
Regents adopted Del Mar College District as the official name of the institution.
Del Mar College started in borrowed classrooms with 154 students in the first
class. Today the College registers more than 22,000 persons each year in academic,
occupational and continuing education courses. The College now offers programs
on two primary campuses, one campus annex and a satellite Northwest Center
with combined physical assets of more than $177 million.
Philosophy
Del Mar College is committed to the following concepts:
Academic freedom and responsibility provide the foundation for the creation of
a learning environment which promotes academic excellence, independent and
creative thinking and respect for the individual.

the individual assimilates knowledge, develops skill and competency and estab-
lishes values which enhance his or her understanding of career choices, quality
17

All individuals have the right to pursue educational goals and should have the
opportunity to realize the potential of their abilities through quality education.
Involvement and interaction between the College and the community are es-
sential to ensure relevance and vitality in all educational programs, activities
and services and to enhance cultural, economic and social life.
The College is committed to the concept of the learning college, an institution of
higher education that focuses on student learning. Currently, important learn-
ing initiatives include the implementation of curricular learning communities,

lectual competencies in the core curriculum and measurement of demonstrable

GETTING STARTED
Getting Started
There are a lot of ways you can walk through our doors.
Student Enrollment Center (SEC)
The Student Enrollment Center (SEC) provides students with a fluid transition
to Del Mar College by connecting students with knowledgeable staff who can
assist with the admissions process, as well as providing academic advising for
students majoring in liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) or classified as un-
declared. Contact the SEC East at (361) 698-1290 or SEC West at (361) 698-1741.
Students seeking admission to the college should submit an application for ad-
mission, a valid placement examination and an official copy of their high school
transcript. If transferring from another higher education institution, students
should submit official copies of all transcripts.
Additionally, students who meet the criteria are required to submit proof of
having received a bacterial meningitis vaccination pursuant to Texas Senate Bill
62. Visit www.delmar.edu/meningitis to learn more.
Testing is discussed in detail in the “Assessment and Placement” section of this
Catalog.
Open Enrollment Admissions
Del Mar College has an “open enrollment” admissions policy under the authority
of the Texas Administrative Code Title 19 and the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools. Open enrollment means that all students will be granted admis-
sion as long as they complete the application process outlined on the next page.
Limitations
Admission to the College does not guarantee your admission to all programs of
the College. Certain programs have limited enrollment due to special equipment
needs or space limitations. Additionally, Del Mar College offers selective pro-
grams that have specialized admission requirements, such as additional testing
and GPA requirements. These admissions limitations are listed under specific
programs in the Catalog.
Right to an Academic Fresh Start
If you are a Texas resident and have academic course work that is over 10 years
old and would like to request to have the work disregarded for the purpose of
admission to the college, you will need to contact the Director of Admissions.
You must complete the Right to an Academic Fresh Start Agreement with the
Director of Admissions prior to the beginning of the term for which you are
seeking admission. In signing the agreement, you confirm that the course credit
or grades earned by you 10 or more years prior to the date of the semester in
which you plan to seek your enrollment will not be considered for admissions
purposes and cannot apply towards your degree.
The Right to an Academic Fresh Start does not change your transcript and can-
not be used for financial aid purposes. Students may not pick and choose what
is to be ignored and what is not. All coursework is ignored. Students under the
Academic Fresh Start provision must still meet the criteria for the Texas Success
Initiative (TSI) and other conditions for admission. Academic Fresh Start clears
21
GETTING STARTED
only the academic record. When deciding eligibility for financial aid, the Office
of Financial Aid Services must still count all prior credits earned.
Students seeking admission to a selective admission program, i.e. nursing, etc.,
will need to contact the Director of Admissions prior to seeking admission into
their respective program and will be approved or denied on a case by case basis.
General Application
Before you can register for classes, you must apply to the College.

GETTING STARTED
DEL MAR COLLEGE STUDENT RECORDS POLICY
RELEASE OF STUDENT RECORDS
All records submitted for a student’s file become the property of the College
and a part of the student’s permanent record. High school transcripts, tran-
scripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar
documents are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution,
including the student.
STUDENT PRIVACY
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Buckley Amendment)
FERPA, sets forth the guidelines for the release of student records to other par-
ties. Under this federal law, students have the right to inspect their records and
correct any inaccuracies that might be found in them.
Access to the record by anyone other than the student is limited and generally
requires prior written consent by the student. The College will mail confidential
records, including grades and transcripts, at the student’s direction. Any person,
who picks up sealed copies of these records for the student must have written,
signed permission to do so from the student.
Directory information, which includes a student’s name, address, date and place
of birth, field of study, dates of attendance, and degrees and awards received
may be released by the College without consent of the student. Any student who
wishes to withhold any or all of this directory information from release must
notify the Registrar in writing within three weeks of the date of the student’s
initial enrollment.

If you were previously enrolled at Del Mar College but have been away for
one year or longer, you must submit, to the Student Enrollment Center, a new
Application for Admission and official transcripts of study completed at other
colleges during the period of absence. Placement tests may be required. Addition-
ally, students will need to submit proof of having received a bacterial meningitis
vaccination pursuant to Texas Senate Bill 62.
4. Transfer Students
Transcript Requirement
Official transcripts are critical if you are transferring from other colleges. Be sure
to follow these steps.
A. Submit current official transcripts of credit earned from each institution
of higher education previously attended. If you attended another higher
education institution but earned no credit, you must submit an official
high school transcript or GED certificate. If your previous course work
does not include college credit in English and math, you must provide
placement test scores.
B. If you are unable to furnish a transcript prior to registration, you may be
allowed to register with the understanding that an official transcript(s)
must be on file in the Student Enrollment Center within the first semes-
ter. If you do not meet this deadline, you may be ineligible to register in
any subsequent semesters.
C. Students transferring in credit will be required to complete a Transfer
Evaluation Request Form (TERF) and submit to the Registrar’s Office.
The form can be accessed on the Registrar’s Office webpage at www.
delmar.edu/registrar. Students may be required to resubmit transcripts if
their records have met retention.
Credit Earned
You will be credited with all courses you are entitled to according to the tran-
script of record and can receive advanced standing if the former institution is
recognized by one of the following associations:
• Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
• New England Association of Schools and Colleges
• North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
• Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
• Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
• Western Association of Schools and Colleges
Students transferring in credit will be required to complete a Transfer Evaluation
Request Form (TERF) and submit the form to the Registrar’s Office. The form
can be accessed on the Office of the Registrar’s webpage. Once all of your of-
ficial transfer transcripts have been received by the Student Enrollment Center,
25
GETTING STARTED
the evaluation request will be processed. To ensure proper advising and course
selection, submit your transcripts as early as possible. You will be notified via
your Del Mar College email account once your request has been completed. It is
highly encouraged to submit your admission documentation as soon as possible to
ensure timely evaluation. Be aware that even though a course transfers to a specific
institution from Del Mar College, if the course was taken elsewhere, it may not
transfer and would not count as a Del Mar College credit. This is especially true
for courses taken at private institutions and when semester credit hours differ.
Transfer Disputes
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has established the
following procedures for Del Mar College to resolve transfer disputes involving
lower division courses:
• If Del Mar College does not accept course credit earned by you at an-
other institution of higher education, Del Mar College will give written
notice to you and the other institution that the transfer of the course
credit is denied.
• The two institutions and you shall attempt to resolve the transfer of
the course credit in accordance with Coordinating Board rules and/or
guidelines.
• If the transfer dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction or to the satis-
faction of the institution at which the credit was earned, within 45 days
after the date you received written notice of the denial, Del Mar College
will notify the commissioner of the THECB of its denial and the reason
for the denial.
The commissioner of higher education, or the commissioner’s designee, will
make the final determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course
credit and give written notice to you and the institutions.
You may consult with the College’s Provost and Vice President of Instruction
and Student Services throughout this process.
Admissions Conditions
When transferring, there are four conditions of admission.
1. If you are eligible for readmission to your former college, you are eli-
gible for admission to Del Mar College.
2. If you are on scholastic probation, you will be admitted under the same
status at Del Mar College.
3. If you are on scholastic suspension, you must appeal for admissions
through the Registrar’s Office.
4. If you are on disciplinary probation at your former college, you must
appear before the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention before
registering. If approved for admission, you may be placed on disciplin-
ary probation at Del Mar.
5. Transient (Summer Only) Students

If you are transferring from another institution of higher education for the sum-
mer terms only, you must provide an official transcript from your most recent
institution attended and meet the eligibility requirements for the courses that
you will register for at Del Mar College. Assessment scores may be required to
be able to make this determination.
26

etc.)
Upon admission, you will be issued the I-20 form. Present this form and the
receipt for the I-901 fee when you apply for your student visa.
If you are an international student transferring from a U.S. college or university,
you must provide a current I-94, I-20, and passport in addition to the documents
listed above.
You must show proficiency in English unless you will enroll in the ESOL program.
You will be referred to the ESOL program for testing and evaluation. Before
beginning your academic program, you must take the Texas Success Initiative
placement test.
Del Mar College does not provide housing. There are a number of real estate
agents and housing locator services in Corpus Christi that may assist you in
securing accommodations.
As an F-1 student, you are not eligible for financial aid. However, you may be
eligible to apply for scholarships. Also, you may not work without permission. If
you are in an academic program, you may be eligible to work part-time on cam-
pus. After one academic year you may be eligible to work off campus; however,
specific criteria must be met and authorization is required by the U.S. government.
8. Military Personnel and Military Dependents

If you are an active duty military personnel or a dependent, you must complete
the regular College admissions requirements and must complete 15 semester
credit hours, in residence, at the College. Credits remaining for completion of a
degree program may be earned in the following ways:
27
GETTING STARTED
• Resident study at Del Mar College
• Credits earned through other regionally-accredited institutions may be
transferred when applicable to a Del Mar College degree or certificate
• Semester credit hours may be earned through successful completion of
CLEP Subject Examinations
• Courses completed through the United States Armed Forces Institute
(USAFI) may be accepted following the recommendations of the Ameri-
can Council on Education (ACE) when such courses are applicable to a
specific Del Mar College degree or certificate
• Del Mar College will accept DANTES courses, but the scores must be
submitted in the official educational transcript to the Del Mar College
Registrar’s Office for evaluation. DANTES scores are not automatically
transferred to Del Mar College.
• Military service schools and Military Occupational Specialty (MOS)
credits may be evaluated and credits awarded following ACE recom-
mendations when such credits can be applied to a specific Del Mar Col-
lege degree or certificate.
• Successful completion of Del Mar College departmental examinations
will result in an award of credit which would normally be given for
completion of the course. Such credit does not serve to meet the resi-
dency requirement.

If you have completed college-level, non-developmental semester hours, you are
classified as follows:
• Freshman: First-year student, or less than 30 semester credit hours.
• Sophomore: Second-year student who has completed the equivalent of one year
of full-time undergraduate work; that is, at least 30 semester credit hours and not
more than 72 semester credit hours.
• Unclassified: More than 72 semester hours; no associate degree.
• Associate Degree: Previously earned associate degree.
• Baccalaureate or Above: Previously earned a baccalaureate or above degree.

Enrollment Center on the East and West Campuses.
Residency
Proof of Texas Residency
In accordance with state law, if you plan to register as a Texas resident, you must prove
that you are legally entitled to pay in-state tuition. Documentation proving state resi-
dency must be presented at the time of application or readmission. If you have had a
break of a year or more in education, you must again show proof of Texas residency
upon reapplying for admission.
If you have not proven your Texas residency at the time of preregistration and/or
registration, you will be considered out-of-state and billed accordingly. You must cor-
rect residency problems within the first week of the term to receive any type of refund.
Acceptable Documentation
If you have been living in the State of Texas for 12 consecutive months prior to the
start of the term, you may be eligible for in-state tuition. The following are examples
of acceptable proof that may be used to establish Texas residency.
• Texas high school or college transcript showing enrollment one year prior,
• Employer’s statement confirming employment in Texas for the previous full
year,
• Deed, mortgage papers, or property tax statements that name you as the
Texas property owner (appropriately dated),
• Valid Texas driver’s license that is at least one year old at the time of enroll-
ment, or
• Utility bills, cancelled checks, rent receipts or lease agreements showing your
Texas address for the previous full year.
Non-Texas Resident
If you originally came to Texas from another state for the purpose of attending an
educational institution, you are presumed to be nonresident unless you have legally
established residency under the rules of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board Rules: Chapter 21.
Please consult with the Registrar’s Office to verify that you have the appropriate
documents.
Establishing Residency of Military/Military Dependents
In order to qualify for in-state and in-district tuition, if you are a military service mem-
ber or military dependent, you must submit a letter from the commanding officer or
from the individual assigned to handle such duty, verifying Texas as the state of duty
station. This verification must be submitted once per year to Del Mar College on or
before registration. Forms are available from the Registrar’s Office.
29
GETTING STARTED
Change of Name, Address, Social Security Number or Major
If you change your name, address, social security number or major, you are required
to submit the changes to the Registrar’s Office. A Social Security number or name
change requires a legal document to support the change.
Any communication from the College using information you provided for its files is
considered to be properly delivered.
Veterans Services and Benefits

Del Mar College’s programs are approved for those who wish to attend and receive
benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33), Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty
(MGIB-AD-Chapter 30), Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR-Chapter
1606), Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP-Chapter 1607), Veterans Educa-
tion Assistance Program (VEAP), Education Assistance Test Program (Section 901),
Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program (DEA-Chapter 35), the
National Call to Service Program, and Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31). The
monthly rate of payment to veterans is determined by Public Law 94-502.
Students attending Texas public institutions of higher education must be in compliance
with the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), as of Fall 2003 (Texas Education Code 51.3062)
in order to enroll in public institutions of higher education. The law requires all enter-
ing college students to be assessed for college readiness in reading, mathematics and
writing unless the student qualifies for an exemption. Each student must be placed
in a developmental education program designed to help the student achieve college
readiness.
Veteran Exemption
A student who on or after August 1, 1990, was honorably discharged, retired or re-
leased from active duty as a member of the armed forces of the United States or the
Texas National Guard or service as a member of the reserve component of the armed
forces of the United States may be exempted. The veteran must provide a valid DD214.
Military Exemption
A student who is serving on active duty as a member of the armed forces of the United
States, The Texas National Guard or as a member of a reserve component of the armed
forces of the United States and has been serving for at least three years preceding
enrollment may be exempted. The service member must provide a valid statement of
service from his or her unit of assignment.
You are strongly encouraged to consider placement testing under the TSI. Even though
you may qualify for the exemption and may be placed directly into college level courses
in math and English, this placement may not actually be appropriate based on your
academic skills. Taking the placement test will give you a good idea of the appropriate
level of coursework. This may help you be more successful in your studies. If you are
eligible for this exemption, and elect to take the exemption it is irreversible and you
may not be eligible to utilize VA benefits for future developmental coursework. Please
contact the Director of the College Veterans Center for more information.
Prior to Enrollment
Prior to enrollment, if you are planning to attend classes and utilize veteran benefits,
you should contact the Veteran Services Office to inquire about required documen-
tation relative to your enrollment and “certification” of attendance to the Veterans
Administration.
30
GETTING STARTED
Upon Enrollment
Prior to certification of your initial semester, you must provide an approved, signed
degree plan to Veterans Services. Degree plans are available through the Student Enroll-
ment Center or through departmental advisors. Be sure to have copies of all previous
transcripts for initial counseling sessions.
You do not have the option of having prior credit reviewed. All previous education
and training must be provided to the school for review. This includes all credits from
postsecondary institutions and military credits. You may have your military transcript
converted to Texas Credit by submitting a College Credit for Heroes Application.
For more information refer to www.collegecreditforheroes.org/ or contact the Veterans
Services Office.
Close of First Semester
At the close of the first semester or upon the successful completion of 12 semester
hours, you should have military credit and any transfer credits from prior education
evaluated and furnish Veterans Services with a copy of the updated degree plan.
Each Semester
Each semester, you must advise the Veterans Services Office of courses in which you
are enrolled and request certification of Veterans benefits. Courses at Del Mar College
are approved for veterans’ training. It is your responsibility to inform Veterans Services
Office of any changes in enrollment status. The VA will not be notified of your enroll-
ment or request for benefits if you fail to complete a request for certification for each
semester that you intend to use veterans benefits. Requests for VA certification must
be received no later than the payment deadline for the registration period.
Standards of Progress for Veterans

Satisfactory
If you are receiving VA education benefits, you must make satisfactory academic
progress by maintaining a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) each enrollment period.
Unsatisfactory
The first term you fall below a 2.0 grade point average will result in your being placed
on probation. If you fail to meet the minimum standard the next semester, you will be
placed on suspension. Failure to achieve the required GPA will cause the benefits to
be terminated until the GPA is satisfactory.
If you are enrolled in a one-semester certificate program and do not maintain a 2.0
GPA or better, you will be reported to the Veterans Administration for unsatisfactory
progress. You will have only one more opportunity to retake the program and be
eligible to receive VA benefits.
Eligibility
To regain eligibility, you must register for at least half time in the next semester at your
own expense and earn at least a 2.0 grade point average. (Hazlewood exemption may
be used during this time if you are deemed eligible by the Veterans Services Office).
Appeal
If you have mitigating circumstances that caused you not to make satisfactory progress,
you may appeal to the Veterans Administration.
31
GETTING STARTED
Veterans Semester Hour Classification

Veterans Registration Process

If you have a complete admissions file, you may register on the Web or through your
advisor on campus.
See Website for details about dates, times and procedures for registration.
If you have less than 24 hours of credit, you must see an advisor before registering
for classes.
Tuition and fee charges must be paid at the time of registration, which is not complete
until all payments have been made. The Veteran Services Office will work closely with
the Business Office and Cashier to ensure that prospective payments from your VA
benefits are anticipated. Certain Chapters will require advance payment of tuition
and fees as indicated:
Chapter 30 - Student payment by payment deadline is required.
Chapter 31 - Veterans Services Office will notify Cashier that VApayment is anticipated.
Chapter 33 - Veterans Services Office will notify Cashier that VA payment is anticipated
Hazlewood - Veterans Services Office will notify Cashier that tuition exemption is
authorized.
NOTE: VA education benefits and Hazelwood Exemption do not cover 3-Peat and
late registration fees. The fees must be paid prior to the payment deadline or you will
be removed from your classes for non-payment.
Veteran Student Advising

Advising, including a list of advisors, is discussed in detail in this Catalog.
If you have selected a major, faculty advising is available for you. The Veterans Services
Office, the Student Enrollment Center or the Registrar can direct you to the appropriate
department for advising.
If you have not selected a major or are a liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) major,
Student Enrollment Center staff can advise you. Services are available in the Student
Enrollment Center on the East and West Campuses.
32
GETTING STARTED
Veteran Student Residency
A person is entitled to pay tuition and fees at an institution of higher education at the
rates provided for Texas residents without regard to the length of time the person has
resided in this state. If the person files with the institution at which the person intends
to register a letter of intent to establish residence in this state and resides in this state
while enrolled in the institution and the person:
1. is eligible for benefits under the federal Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance
Act of 2008 (38 U.S.C. Section 3301 et seq.) or any other federal law authorizing
educational benefits for veterans;
2. is the spouse of a person described by subdivision (1); or
3. is a child of a person described by Subdivision (1) who is 25 years of age or younger
on the first day of the semester or other academic term for which the person is
registering, except that the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board by rule
shall prescribe procedures by which a person who suffered from a severe illness
or other debilitating condition that affected the person’s ability to use the benefit
provided by this subsection before reaching corresponding to the time the person
was unable to use the benefit because of the illness or condition.
A form letter may be obtained from the Veterans Services Office for students who meet
this eligibility requirement.
Student Enrollment Center personnel and Veterans Services representatives can help
clarify residency status.
Changes in Registration
Any time your course schedule changes you must immediately notify the Veterans
Services. Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 21.4203 requires that all changes
in enrollment credit must be reported in a timely manner. Reducing the number of
semester hours attempted within a given semester may cause a decrease in VA benefit
amount and could generate an overpayment from the VA. If overpayment occurs,
you will become indebted to the VA and future benefit payments could be reduced
by the amount of the overpayment.
Implications for Financial Aid

You should be aware that dropping courses may affect eligibility for financial aid.
Contact Financial Aid Services prior to dropping a course or completely withdraw-
ing from school. If you stop attending class without officially withdrawing from the
College, then the grade is an automatic “F.” Students receiving Veterans Benefits for
education or Vocational Rehabilitation should contact Veterans Services for specific
policies concerning drops and withdrawals. These changes may have a direct effect
on your VA benefits. Students using the Hazlewood Exemption must meet satisfactory
academic progress (SAP) in accordance with the college Financial Aid policy in order
to remain eligible for Hazlewood Exemption. This does not apply to students whose
eligibility for the Hazlewood Exemption is based on a deceased veteran’s status. You
do not have to be in receipt of Financial Aid, but must meet SAP requirements . For
more information, please contact the Veterans Services Office.
Commencement
Graduation is held three times a year: May, August and December. Only if you have
completed all of the graduation requirements will you be permitted to graduate.
33
GETTING STARTED
Veteran Graduate Congratulatory Reception
A congratulatory reception will be held for all veteran graduates and their family
members each Commencement cycle. Look for a written invitation from the Veterans
Services Office. Additionally, all veteran graduates will receive a gift from the Veterans
Services Office.
Veteran Graduate Top Student Award

Each Commencement cycle, the Director of the College Veterans Center will award a
Special Plaque to the top veteran graduate.
Veterans Honors Cord

Every veteran student who graduates will be issued a Red, White and Blue Honor cord
to wear with their graduation regalia. Honor cords will be issued at the Congratula-
tory Reception each commencement cycle.
VA Workstudy
The Department of Veterans Affairs sponsors a workstudy program. Students receiv-
ing veteran’s educational benefits under Chapters 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 1606 and 1607 may
qualify. Students must be certified to the VA for at least ¾ time enrollment and must
perform duties that are directly related to veteran benefits and files in the Veterans
Services Office. Several positions are filled on a continuous basis. For more informa-
tion, contact the Director of the College Veterans Center.
Student Withdrawal or Excused Absence

for Active Military Service
Upon notice from a student required to participate in active military service, students
shall be excused from attending classes or engaging in other required activities, including
examinations. A student shall not be penalized for an absence which is excused under
this subsection and shall be allowed to complete an assignment or take an examination
from which the student is excused within a reasonable time after the absence.
• Maximum Excused Absence: A student called to service as a member of a

reserve military component or the Texas National Guard will not be penalized
and shall be excused for absences accrued during the period of active military
service for a period of active duty no longer than 25% of the total number of class
meetings or the contact hour equivalent (not including the final exam period)
for the specific course or courses in which the student is currently enrolled at
the beginning of the period of active military service. (Example: During a 16
week semester with 32 planned class meetings, no more than 4 weeks and 8
class meeting absences may be excused.)
• Retention of Student’s Work: Faculty members will retain the student’s

coursework completed during the portion of the course prior to the student
being called to active military service to be used when the student returns and
completes the course requirements in order to ascertain a proper grade award.
34
GETTING STARTED
• Course Syllabus or Instructional Plan: The course syllabus or other instruc-
tional plan that was in effect when the student was called to active military service
shall be retained for future use so that the student will be able to complete the
course without prejudice and under the same course requirements that were
in effect when the student enrolled in the course.
• Completion of Assignments and Examinations: The student shall be granted

a reasonable period of time after the absence to complete assignments and
examinations. A reasonable period of time shall be defined as “within 30 cal-
endar days of completion of active service period or one week prior to the final
examination date scheduled, whichever occurs first.”
• Failure to Complete Assignments and Examinations: If a student fails to

complete missed assignments and examinations, the student will not receive
credit for uncompleted assignments and examinations and will be awarded a
course final grade accordingly.

FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid
Assistance
While you and your family are expected to assume a major responsibility for the
costs associated with attending a certificate or degree program at the College,
there are resources to help you.
While there are many free resources available to you, there are many opportunities
for students seeking assistance to be taken advantage of. There are several websites
and companies who offer help with filing the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) for a fee. These sites and companies are not affiliated with
or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) or Del Mar College. We
urge students not to pay for these sites for assistance that you can get for free.
Never send money (no matter how small) to companies for free financial aid
information and if you are asked for any credit card information while filling
out the FAFSA online, you are not at the official government site. The financial
aid office at Del Mar College is here to assist you free of charge in finding ways
to fund your education.
When you apply for federal student aid, the information you report on the
FAFSA is used in a formula established by the ED. The formula determines
your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), an amount you and your family are
expected to contribute toward your education. If your EFC is below a certain
amount, you will be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, assuming you meet all
other eligibility requirements.
There is not a maximum EFC that determines eligibility for the other financial aid
programs. Instead, your EFC is used in an equation to determine your financial
need:
Cost of Attendance
- Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
- Financial Need
To determine your unmet need for aid other than Federal Pell Grant, the
calculation is:
Cost of Attendance
- EFC
- Pell Grant and any other Financial Aid
- Unmet Need
Financial Aid Services encourages you to seek financial assistance to help pay for
college. Assistance comes in the form of gift aid (grants and scholarships-need
based or merit-based) and self-help aid (loans and employment-need based or
merit-based).
Eligibility
Requirements
To be considered for aid eligibility, you must:
• Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen
• Be registered with Selective Service (male, U.S. citizens and permanent
36
FINANCIAL AID
residents, ages 18-26)
• Have demonstrated financial need as determined by your processed
FAFSA and your school cost of attendance
• Attend a school that takes part in one or more of the financial aid
programs
• Have a high school diploma, GED (or its recognized equivalent) or have
been home schooled
• Be enrolled at least half-time (6 hours) in an eligible program as
approved by the ED (in some cases, students may receive a Federal Pell
Grant for less than half-time enrollment)
• Be working toward a degree or certificate
• Be making satisfactory academic progress as defined by Del Mar
College Policy. Refer to “Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy” section
• Not owe a refund on any Title IV (Federal Pell Grant, Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Academic
Competitiveness Grant or Federal State Student Incentive Grant) or
any other Higher Education Grant program received at any institution
previously attended. Refer to “Return of Title IV Funds” under
CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWING/DROPPING section
• Not be in default on any Title IV Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford
Student Loan, Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students
(FPLUS), Federal Supplemental Loan to Students (FSLS) or any other
Higher Education Act Loan Program received at any institution
previously attended
Application Process
FAFSA: First Step
To qualify for financial assistance, including loans and some scholarships, you
must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This
can be done one of two ways:
1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the
Web, or
2. Complete the FAFSA Renewal Application on the Web.
Electronic FAFSA
Applying on the Web allows you to complete the FAFSA over the Internet in
an easy-to-use format. FAFSA on the Web/Renewal FAFSA on the Web can be
found at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
It is important to complete a Pre-Application Worksheet to guide you. You can
print a copy of the Worksheet from Section I of the FAFSA on the Web home page
at www.fafsa.ed.gov or pick up a copy from Financial Aid Services.
The Renewal FAFSA is a tremendous time saver as responses from the prior cycles’
FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA are displayed, and you answer only those questions
that are likely to have changed from the previous year.
The online application procedure is also available in Spanish.
FSA ID
The FSA ID-a username and password-has replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN
and must be used to log in to certain ED websites. Your FSA ID confirms your
37
FINANCIAL AID
identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign
Federal Student Aid documents. If you do not already have an FSA ID, you can
create one when logging in to fafsa.gov, the National Student Loan Data System
(NSLDS) at www.nslds.ed.gov, StudentLoans.gov and StudentAid.gov.
Application Steps
Below are important steps that you need to follow to apply for financial aid.
1. Complete your FAFSA with your correct legal name as it appears on
your Social Security Card.
2. Complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA using the actual figures from
your 2015 Federal Income Tax Return, annual statements you receive
from Social Security, TANF and/or Child Support, including any other
documentation of other sources of income.
Accuracy is very important when completing this step of the FAFSA,
especially these items. Accuracy can be obtained by using the IRS data
retrieval option in place of your Income Tax Return:
a. Adjusted Gross income from the IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.
b. Income tax paid from the IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.
c. Income received from other sources, such as gift money from family,
private sources, housing, food and other living allowances paid to
members of the military, clergy and others (including cash payments
and cash value of benefits).
d. Household size should reflect only those family members who are
being supported by the student or the student’s parents. (Do not
include family members who do not fit the description found in the
FAFSA instructions).
e. Number of family members from the household who are in college
(Do not include your parents).
f. Cash and savings.

Spring Only October 1
Summer Sessions February 15
If the scheduled deadline falls on a holiday or weekend, you have until the next
business day to turn in your paperwork.
All applications received after the priority deadline are awarded according to
the availability of funds on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Additional Information
FAFSA Data Matches
The ED performs several matches of the information that you provide on the
FAFSA/Renewal FAFSA form with national databases, including:
• The Selective Service System
• The Department of Homeland Security
• The Social Security Administration
• The Department of Justice
• The National Student Loan Data System
• The Department of Veterans Affairs
If any of the information that is provided on the application is not consistent with
the data that is on these databases, or if these agencies have any information that
is relevant to your financial aid eligibility, the U.S. Department of Education will
alert Del Mar College and the issues/questions will have to be resolved before
your eligibility can be confirmed.

Verification
Selection of Students for Verification
The ED selects Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for verification.
In addition, ED or Del Mar College may select a student for verification if the
information submitted appears to be incorrect or fraudulent. If you have been
selected for a process called verification, Del Mar College will be comparing
information from your FAFSA with your (and your spouse’s, if you are married)
and/or your parents’ Income Tax Return Transcript, or with W-2 forms or other
financial documents. Federal Regulations state we have the right to ask you for
this information before awarding Federal aid.
Completing Verification
If you are selected for verification, submit the required documents as soon as
possible to avoid delays in payment of tuition/fees and delays on receiving
book allowance (if eligible) before the term starts. Students are mailed Missing
Information Letters, (MIL’s) and Verification Notification emails that explain why
their financial aid file is incomplete and what documents they need to submit
or what actions need to be taken to complete their financial aid file. If you are
selected for verification, submit the required documentation to Financial Aid
Services 30 (thirty) days before you expect to have the verification resolved and
your account cleared for disbursement. The DMC financial aid staff will work to
review verifications sooner than 30 days after submission, but during peak times
this may not always be possible. The DMC staff continues to accept and review
verification information until the Department of Education’s published correction
deadlines for each award year. If you do not submit documentation in time for
any changes to be confirmed by the ED, Del Mar College is not responsible for
any eligibility lost. It is your responsibility to provide documentation in a timely
manner so that deadlines can be met.
Acceptable Documentation
Below is a list all acceptable documentation and forms used:
• Verification Worksheets: Available online at
www.delmar.edu/finaid_forms/forms/
• Federal Income Tax Return Transcript for all people whose income
information is required by the ED.
In cases where a conflict is perceived, Financial Aid Services may request additional
proof of untaxed income and benefits beyond what is shown on tax returns and
verification worksheets.
This proof will vary by agency. For example:
1. Untaxed Income Sources
2. Unemployment Benefits-A statement from the agency which provided the
benefits.
3. Signature requirements:
• Verification Worksheets
• Dependent Students-Must be signed by the student and one parent
• Independent Students-Must be signed by the student
40
FINANCIAL AID
Notification of Completion of Verification
Financial Aid Services will rely on the U.S. Department of Education to mail
students a copy of their corrected Student Aid Report for notification that the
verification changes are complete. If you wish, you may check with Financial Aid
Services and see how verification affected their Expected Family Contribution
(EFC). The change will be reflected in the award amounts (if any) on the award
letter. Award notifications are sent via email to students after all issues related
to verification and any other eligibility issues are resolved.
Conflicting Information
If there are differences between your application information and your financial
documents, Financial Aid Services will need to make corrections electronically.
Since corrections may take some time to process, we encourage you to submit the
appropriate documents in a timely manner. If the corrections change your EFC
and if you submit the appropriate verification form and required documentation
in person, we will let you know of any changes that may affect your eligibility
amount at that moment. We will also mail you an award notification letter. While
your correction is being processed, your file is considered incomplete and funds
will not be awarded.
Eligibility Issues
Financial Aid Services monitors requirements that can affect your eligibility for
Title IV funds, including but not limited to:
Attendance
The ED requires that schools are able to document that students are actually
in attendance to finalize their Title IV financial aid. For example, if a student
doesn’t begin attendance in all of his or her classes, the school must recalculate
the student’s award based on the lower enrollment status. A student is considered
to have begun attendance in all of his or her classes if the student attends at least
one day of class for each course in which that student’s enrollment status was
determined for Federal Pell Grant eligibility. In a distance education context,
documenting that a student has logged into an online class is not sufficient,
by itself, to demonstrate academic attendance by the student. A school must
demonstrate that a student participated in class or was otherwise engaged in an
academically related activity, such as by contributing to an online discussion or
initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question. Del
Mar College documents attendance for Title IV recipients by collecting on-line
rosters from all instructors after census date. The instructors use the rosters to
indicate whether a student has attended or not. Students must attend each class
that they are enrolled in at least once between the first day of school and the
census day of each term to be counted as being in attendance in that class for
Federal Pell Grant eligibility purposes. In cases where students do not attend
class at least once, Federal Pell Grant eligibility will be adjusted based on the
enrollment status for the number of credits that they are actually attending,
and other Title IV may be cancelled. If this adjustment results in a student not
having sufficient grant funds to pay for any charges or advances that they have
incurred or received, that student will be responsible to pay Del Mar College for
the difference between their adjusted eligibility and the original amount of the
cost of their tuition and fees as well as any advances that the student received.
41
FINANCIAL AID
Repeated Coursework
Beginning July 1, 2011, the ED amended the definition of a full-time student to
allow repeated coursework to count toward enrollment status in term-based
programs:
• Students may only receive federal financial aid funding for one repetition
of a previously passed course. That is, if a student passes a course with
a low grade and wants to get a better grade to improve his GPA, he
can retake the course once. If, after the student retakes the course, he
wants to retake it again and his course load at the time is 12 credit hours,
the student will not be considered to be attending full time; he will be
considered to be attending 3/4 time and financial aid will be disbursed as
such. This is for financial aid purposes only.
• Student may repeat failed course until it is passed.
Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used (PLEU)
The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds a student may receive over his or her
lifetime is limited by federal regulations to the equivalent of six full-time years
(12 full-time semesters). Students who received Pell Grant for the past four years
or more may find their Pell Grant eligibility may be reduced or eliminated.
To determine how much of the maximum six years (600%) of Pell Grant you have
used each year, ED compares the actual amount you received for the award year
with your scheduled award amount for that award year. Of course, if you receive
the full amount of your scheduled award, you will have used 100%. It’s possible
that you might not receive your entire scheduled award for an award year. There
are a number of reasons for this, the most common of which are that you are not
enrolled for the full year or that you are not enrolled full-time, or both.
Percentage Used Calculation
The percentages are based on your annual award at full-time enrollment status
compared to the amount you actually receive in a given year. The amount of aid
you receive each academic year is divided by the maximum annual award you
are eligible for that year and your annual percentage is determined. Percentages
from each year are added to calculate your Lifetime Eligibility Used (PLEU).
Viewing Your Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used (PLEU)
The ED keeps track of your PLEU by adding together the percentages of your
Pell Grant scheduled awards that you received for each award year. You can
determine how much Pell you have used and what you have remaining at
www.NSLDS.ed.gov.
Questions
Financial Aid Services staff are available to discuss Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility
Used and answer any questions you may have.
Developmental Coursework Limitation
The ED provided the following guidelines to schools on how developmental
courses may be funded. (Please note that the information in this catalog only
pertains to the developmental coursework limitation and a student must satisfy all
ED, State of Texas and Del Mar College eligibility requirements to be eligible for
Financial Assistance). A student may receive Federal Aid for up to one academic
42
FINANCIAL AID
year’s worth of developmental coursework. At community colleges, the limit
is 30 semester hours. Financial Aid Services complies with this requirement by
reviewing all student records after the Census day of each semester to see if any
students are scheduled to receive financial aid for a developmental course when
they have already attempted 10 or more courses. Any Pell Grant award made to
a student who is scheduled to receive aid for the 11th or greater developmental
course attempt will be recalculated without considering the developmental course
in the student’s enrollment status.
Example:
If a student is enrolled in a total of 12 credit hours, three of which are from his/
her 11th developmental course attempt, his/her Federal Pell Grant award will
be recalculated based on nine credit hours instead of 12 credit hours.
Unusual Enrollment History
Beginning award year 2013-2014 and forward, the ED has established new
regulations to prevent fraud and abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program by
identifying students with unusual enrollment histories. The ED will be placing
an unusual enrollment flag on some of the Free Applications for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA), which indicates that the student has an unusual enrollment history
with regard to receiving Pell Grants at multiple institutions. Financial Aid
Services is required to review the student’s enrollment and financial aid record to
determine if, during the past four award years (2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015
and 2015-2016), the student has legitimate reasons for the unusual enrollment
history. Financial Aid Services will identify and contact the students who will
be required to resolve this before determining Federal Student Aid eligibility.
Resolving Unusual Enrollment History
You will be required to provide academic transcripts from all colleges and
universities attended during the review period to Del Mar College. The institution
will determine whether academic credit was earned at each of the previously
attended institutions during the past four award years (2012-2013, 2013-2014,
2014-2015 and 2015-2016). Academic credit earned is considered to have been
earned if the academic records show that you received a grade of “A”, “B”, “C”,
or “D” as listed in the Grading System Section of the DMC Catalog. If you did
not earn academic credit at each of the previously attended institutions during
the past three award years, you may be ineligible for further Federal Student Aid.
The Financial Aid Services has the authority to require official transcripts from
the Colleges and universities attended during the review period if the documents
that you submitted are unclear.
Appealing an Ineligibility Determination
You will be asked to contact Financial Aid Services so that you may provide a
statement explaining why you failed to earn academic credit and any additional
supporting documentation. If eligibility is approved, you will be required to meet
with an academic advisor and a financial aid representative; you must not drop
or withdraw (officially or unofficially) from any courses after the term begins
and must maintain Financial Aid SAP. If you did not earn academic credit at
each of the previously attended institutions during the past three award years
and are not able to provide an acceptable explanation and documentation for the
unusual enrollment history, you are ineligible for further Federal Student Aid.
All decisions made by Financial Aid Services are final.
43
FINANCIAL AID
Procedures for Referring Individuals to the Office of Inspector General
If we suspect that a student, employee, or other individual has misreported
information or altered documentation to fraudulently obtain federal funds, we
will report that individual to the Office of Inspector General at (214) 661-9530. This
includes false claims of independent student status, false claims of citizenship,
use of false identities, forgery of signatures of certifications and false statements
of income. Fraud is the intent to deceive as opposed to a mistake.
Types of Aid
The source and amount of any aid will depend greatly on your demonstrated
need as determined by the ED and Del Mar College Financial Aid Services.
Aid comes in two major forms: gift aid and self-help aid.
I. Gift Aid
There are two kinds of gift aid—grants and scholarships:
A. Grants
Del Mar College participates in numerous federal, state and local grant programs.
Federal Pell Grant (PELL)

Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a
bachelor’s or professional degree. (A professional degree would include a degree
in a field such as pharmacy or dentistry). Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant is
partially determined by the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled
during the semester. Del Mar College’s award letters show student eligibility for
Federal Pell Grant funds for eligible students assuming that the students will
take at least 12 credit hours per semester.
Financial Aid Services adjusts the amount of Pell Grant that students receive if
the number of credit hours that students are enrolled in changes through the
census date of each semester. For more information on eligibility requirements,
please refer to the sections that follow.
Award Amounts
Awards are based on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined
by the FAFSA and by your level of enrollment. How much you may receive
will depend on your EFC, your cost of attendance, your enrollment status and
whether you attend school for a full academic year. You may only receive Pell
Grant funds from one institution at a time.
Levels of Enrollment Equivalent credit hours

Full Time 12+ credit hours
Three Quarter Time 9-11 credit hours
Half Time 6-8 credit hours
Less Than Half Time* 5 credit hours or less
*Students enrolled less than full-time may still receive a Pell Grant award if their
EFC allows it.
44
FINANCIAL AID
Eligibility
To determine if you are eligible, the ED established a standard formula, to evaluate
the information you report when you apply. The formula produces an Expected
Family Contribution (EFC) number. The lower the EFC number, the more aid
you are eligible for. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) and the Institutional Student
Information Record (ISIR) contain this number and will tell you if you are eligible.
Below are the basic eligibility requirements to be considered for Federal Aid
(Title IV programs):
1. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
2. Meet all ED eligibility requirements including but not limited to:
a. Demonstrate financial need
b. Have a High School Diploma or a General Education Development
(GED) Certificate
c. Register with the Selective Services, if required
d. Be a U.S. citizen or Eligible Non-citizen
e. Have a valid Social Security Number
3. Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working
toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program
4. Meet the standards of the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress
(SAP) Policy.
Additional Requirements
Federal Pell Grant funds, including but not limited to:
1. Your continued enrollment within a semester: if you withdraw/are
withdrawn, you may be required to repay funds awarded to you.
2. Your grades: if you do not earn at least one passing grade in a semester,
you may be required to repay funds awarded to you.
3. Developmental courses you attempt: we may only fund 30 credit
hours of developmental work (10 developmental courses) over your
educational career. If a Pell eligible student attempts his/her 11th or
greater developmental course, that course cannot be counted in the
student’s enrollment status.
4. Repeated Coursework: Beginning July 1, 2011, the definition of a full-
time student was amended to allow repeated coursework to count
toward enrollment status in term-based programs.
5. Lifetime Eligibility Used: Effective July 1, 2012, students may only
receive a Pell Grant for six years of full-time enrollment (equivalent
to 12 semesters or 600%) during their lifetime. This change affects all
students regardless of when or where they received their first Pell
Grant. The maximum amount of Pell Grant funding that a student may
receive each year is equal to 100%, this is why the six-year equivalent is
600%.
6. Unusual Enrollment History: Beginning award year 2013-2014 and
forward, new regulations have been established to prevent fraud and
abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program by identifying students with
unusual enrollment histories. Financial Aid Services is required to
review your enrollment and financial aid record to determine if, during
the past three award years, you had legitimate reasons for the unusual
enrollment history.
45
FINANCIAL AID
7. Attendance Verification: eligibility to receive Title IV aid is partially
determined by the number of classes that you attend; you cannot
receive aid for classes in which you are registered but do not attend at
least once.
Fund Disbursements
DMC will credit Pell Grant funds to your school account to pay for tuition, fees
and other school related costs which appear on your student account (institutional
charges). If you are eligible for funds in excess of your institutional charges, after
completing eligibility verification, DMC will pay you the difference via the DMC
Debit Card. As a registered student, you will receive a DMC Debit Card and a
Higher One Account. All financial aid funds and refunds will be disbursed to
your Higher One Account. You can choose to have your funds deposited into
your Higher One Account (DMC Debit Card), your own bank account or have a
check mailed to the address you have on file with the Admissions Office. You can
find more information about the Higher One Account at www.DMCDebitCard.com.
Book allowance and final refund release dates are provided to students before the
start of each semester; those are published at www.delmar.edu/Paying_for_College.
aspx
Students’ eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant takes time. Financial Aid Services
must confirm, through an enrollment verification process that all students have
attended all of the courses that they have enrolled in. The enrollment verification
takes place after census date of each semester and may take up to three weeks.
Can I receive a Federal Pell Grant if I am enrolled less than half-time?
Yes, if your EFC is low enough to be eligible. You will not receive as much as
if you were enrolled full time, but DMC will disburse your Pell Grant funds in
accordance with your enrollment status.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for
undergraduates with exceptional financial need-that is, students with the lowest
EFC-and gives priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants.
Award Amounts
Financial Aid Services will award a student between $400 and $600 per semester.
There is no guarantee every eligible student will be able to receive a FSEOG;
DMC students are awarded based on the availability of funds. FSEOG funds
are awarded by semester.
Eligibility
To determine if you are eligible, the ED uses a standard formula, established by the
ED, to evaluate the information you report when you apply. The formula produces
an EFC number. The FSEOG is an additional grant available to undergraduate
students with exceptional financial need and gives priority to students who
receive Federal Pell Grants.
Below are the basic eligibility requirements to be considered for Federal Aid
(Title IV programs):
1. Complete a FAFSA.
2. Meet all ED eligibility requirements including but not limited to:
a. Demonstrate financial need

withdrawn, you may be required to repay funds awarded to you.
2. Your grades: If you do not earn at least one passing grade in a semester, you
may be required to repay funds awarded to you.
3. Developmental courses you attempt: We may only fund 30 credit hours
of developmental work (10 developmental courses) over a student’s
educational career. If a Pell eligible student attempts his/her 11th or greater
developmental course, that course cannot be counted in the student’s
enrollment status.
4. Repeated Coursework: The definition of a full-time student was amended
to allow, in some cases, repeated coursework to count toward enrollment
status.
5. Attendance Verification: Eligibility to receive Title IV aid is partially
determined by the number of classes that a student attends; students
cannot receive aid for classes in which they are registered but do not attend
at least once.
Fund Disbursements
DMC will credit FSEOG funds to your school account to pay for tuition, fees and
other school related costs which appear on your student account (institutional
your Higher One Account. You can choose to have your funds deposited into your

monetary awards to students that do not have to be repaid. Every scholarship
awarded by the Foundation is made possible through charitable gifts from
individuals, corporations, organizations or foundations. Scholarships are
awarded on the basis of scholastic achievement, financial need, field of study
or a variety of criteria set by the benefactor. Average awards are between $500
to $2,000 and students can be awarded multiple scholarships to help offset the
cost of education. The Foundation oversees more than 440 different scholarship
funds made available through generous donation or grants.
A single online application matches students to all the Del Mar College Foundation
scholarships for which they are eligible. Students are not required to fill out the
FASFA. However, it is recommended as FAFSA scores are used to determine
eligibility for any Foundation scholarships in which financial need is required.
The online application is open mid-January through April of each year with
scholarships awarded for the upcoming academic year (Fall/Spring or Fall/
Spring/Summer). Apply on-line at www.delmar.edu/scholarships.
Emergency scholarships are available for students encountering unexpected
situations which jeopardize their ability to complete their program of study.
51

II. Self-Help
There are two forms of self-help—loans and employment:
A. Loans
Loans are available to assist you in meeting your educational costs. All of the
loans available are long-term, low-interest loans. No loan may be made if you
are unwilling to repay the loan. A prior default or delinquency on a loan or
an established history of nonpayment of debts may be taken as evidence of
unwillingness to repay the loan. If efforts manage and lower our overall default
rate, students who fall into the following categories must submit a Loan Appeal
Packet to be considered for student loans:
• Students who have already borrowed more than the DMC
recommended loan limit of $17,500 (regardless of what college the loan
was borrowed at)
• Students who have defaulted student loans previously
• Students requesting an unsubsidized loan in excess of $1,000 per
semester
There are three kinds of loans:

1. Student Loans
The following student loan programs are available:
• Direct Loan Subsidized (DLSUB)
• Direct Loan Unsubsidized (DUNSB)
* The Federal Direct Loan Program consists of both the Federal Subsidized
and Unsubsidized student loans; however, the U.S. Department of
Education is your lending institution and will be responsible for all
your correspondence and repayments.
Applying for Federal Loans
To apply for a federal student aid direct loan, you must:
1. Be fully admitted to DMC.
2. Have your FAFSA application submitted and processed.
3. Submit the DMC 2016-2017 Resource Application (eForm) indicating
“Yes” to wanting to borrow a loan.
4. Complete the Loan Entrance Counseling online at www.studentloans.gov
(explains the obligations you agree to meet as a condition of receiving
52
FINANCIAL AID
a direct loan). You must complete this step within two weeks of being
offered a student loan.
5. Complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) at www.studentloans.
gov. You must complete this step within two weeks of being offered a
student loan.
6. Attend a mandatory Loan Advising Workshop on campus. You may
attend any time before being offered loan but you must attend within
two weeks after being offered a loan.
7. Be enrolled in at least six hours and maintain satisfactory academic
progress.
After steps 1-7 are met, the first disbursement will be issued by DMC approximately
two weeks after the start of the first six credit hours of the semester.
First-time borrowers are required to wait 30 days for their first disbursement.
One-semester loans are disbursed in two payments.
Federal Stafford Annual Loan amounts for a single academic year, effective July
1, 2008, are:
Year Dependent Students Independent Students
First-Year Undergraduate $3,500 in Subsidized Loans $4,500 in Subsidized Loans
0 – 29 hours $2,000 in Unsubsidized Loans $2,000 in Unsubsidized Loans
Second-Year Undergraduate $3,500 in Subsidized Loans $4,500 in Subsidized Loans
30+ hours $6,000 in Unsubsidized Loans $6,000 in Unsubsidized Loans
Loan amounts may be adjusted down based on an individual’s Cost of Attendance
(COA).
All direct loans are funded by the Federal Government and pay a 1.68% loan
origination fee from each disbursement. This fee is subject to change every July
1. The interest rate charged on Direct Loans is 4.29% which also is subject to
change every July 1.

The Federal Student Aid Calculators will help you estimate your monthly loan
payment and can be found at www.collegeforalltexans.com/apps/CollegeMoney/
National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is the U.S. Department of
Education’s (ED’s) central database for student aid.
NSLDS Student Access provides a centralized, integrated view of Title IV loans
and grants, so recipients of Title IV Aid can access and inquire about their Title IV
loans and/or grant data. The system can help you learn about your loan status,
53
FINANCIAL AID
assist with repayment methods to keep your loan out of default and keep you
aware of where your loan debt is currently.
Federal Loan Servicers
Students go in to loan repayment six months after they stop attending at least
half-time. Once you go in to repayment, you will be contacted by a federal loan
servicer to make payment arrangements.
2. Parent Loans
The following is the main parent loan:
• Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (FPLUS)
Your parents may borrow funds under this loan program on behalf of
you, if you are a dependent undergraduate student. Parents can borrow
up to the cost of education minus other financial aid you may have
received. Parents must have a good credit history to qualify and not
currently be in default of their own federal student loans. A processed
FAFSA must be on file and parents must apply for the FPLUS loan
online at www.studentloans.gov. If approved, parent must complete a
FPLUS loan form available in the financial aid office.
For detailed information on how to apply for a FPLUS Loan, go to www.delmar.
edu/federal_parent_loans_for_undergraduate_students.aspx
3. Alternative Loans
Alternative loans are private loans offered by lending institutions. They are not
part of the federal government guaranteed loans and should only be used when
all other options have been exhausted. Research all possibilities for scholarships,
grants, work-study and federal loans before borrowing from an alternative loan
program. Students are required to complete a FAFSA application each academic
year and must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress to be considered.
Students can never receive more loan money than their cost of attendance and
overall unmet need.
What should you look for in an Alternative Loan?
• Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
• Loan Limits
• Repayment Terms
• Cosigner Requirement
• Repayment Incentives
• Interest Capitalization
• Lender for Federal Loans
B. Student Employment Programs

FINANCIAL AID
Protect your Financial Aid – Don’t lose it!

Federal regulations require educational institutions to review the academic
progress of all students applying for student financial assistance. Satisfactory
Academic Progress (SAP) must be maintained in order to receive aid. A student’s
academic process is evaluated after each long semester and summer term with
the following standards as mandated by the federal regulations:
• Qualitative (Grades and Cumulative Grade Point Average)
• Quantitative (Maximum Time Frame for completion)
This review will include all periods of the student’s enrollment, even those for
which the student did not receive financial aid. Students are expected to be
continuously aware of their grades.
DMC Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy

Del Mar College has adopted the following Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
(be advised these standards apply to all financial aid programs unless the terms
of a particular program indicate otherwise):
Federal/State Regulations require students to be making Satisfactory Academic
Progress at the time they receive financial assistance. All financial aid recipients
must be enrolled in a program of study leading to an Associate’s degree or
a certificate program. All course work attempted at Del Mar College will be
evaluated, regardless of whether the student previously received assistance.
All transfer course work, accepted for credit towards your program at Del Mar
College, will be counted towards the maximum time frame.
A student’s academic progress is evaluated after each long semester and at the
end of the summer session. The evaluation includes all coursework attempted
for the semester/sessions (withdrawals, incompletes and “R” grades will be
included in determining the total number of hours for which the student enrolled).
It also includes all periods of the student’s enrollment, even those for which the
student did not receive financial aid. (Rapid Track semesters, mini-semesters and
Maymesters will be included in the semester in which they began.)
The Progress Standards required are shown below:
• Must successfully pass the number of hours/credits stated below:
- Students enrolled for a full-time course load, 12 hours or more, will
be required to pass a minimum of nine (9) semesters hours of the
courses enrolled or
- Students enrolled for three-quarter time, 9 to 11 hours, will be required
to pass a minimum of six (6) semesters hours of the courses enrolled
or
- Students enrolled for half-time, 6 to 8 hours, will be required to pass
six (6) hours of the courses enrolled or
- Students who enroll for less than six (6) hours must complete all hours
attempted and
• Must have a 2.0 or better GPA on the minimum numbers of hours
required to pass.
• Must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA at the end of the fourth semester,
including Summer Terms.
• Must complete a certificate/degree program within the maximum
time frame of 150% of the published length of the educational program
56
FINANCIAL AID
your current major. For example, if a student is pursuing a program
(certificate/associate degree) requiring 64 credit hours, no financial
consideration would be available after completing 96 credit hours,
even if the student has not yet earned the certificate/associate degree
and meets all other satisfactory academic progress standards. (64 X
150%=96)
Successful passing means a student has received a minimum grade of D. Grades of F, I
(Incomplete), W (withdrew) are not considered passing courses.
Good Standing
• Students who meet the above requirements are considered to be in
good standing for financial aid purposes.
Failure To Meet Standards
Financial Aid Warning
• Financial aid warning is a caution that the student is jeopardizing
future eligibility but can still receive financial aid.
• The first time the minimum standard is not met, the student will be
placed on a financial aid warning.
• Students who reach the maximum time frame limitation will not receive
a warning notification.
• Students who do not have a minimum overall 2.0 GPA at the end of the
4th semester will not receive a warning notification.
Financial Aid Suspension
• Financial aid suspension is a cancellation/denial of awards or
disbursements of financial aid.
• The second time the minimum standard is not achieved; the student
will be placed on financial aid suspension.
• Students placed on academic suspension by the Registrar’s Office will
automatically be placed on financial aid suspension. This financial aid
status will continue should the student be granted permission to enroll
after an academic suspension appeal. Students under this status must
meet the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards in
order to get back on financial aid.
• Students placed on enforced scholastic suspension the last time they
were enrolled will be on financial aid suspension.
• Any student exceeding the maximum time frame of 150% of the
program will be placed on financial aid suspension.
• A cumulative 2.0 GPA must still be maintained for students who have
attended four semesters, including Summer Terms.
Notification of Status
Students placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Suspension will be
notified via email of their status after grades are available on DMC’s system.
Regaining Eligibility
A student may regain eligibility for financial aid by:
• Paying for expenses related to enrollment from personal resources until
the student has satisfied the minimum standards of the Financial Aid
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy.
• Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled for six
57
FINANCIAL AID
(6) or more hours must enroll for six (6) or more hours and meet the
minimum requirements as stated above.
• Students placed on financial aid suspension while enrolled less than
six (6) hours may enroll for less than six (6) hours and complete all
hours with a 2.0 or better to remove the financial aid suspension status;
however, their status will only improve to financial aid warning.
• Students who had extenuating circumstances for not maintaining SAP,
may appeal the suspension status by filing a written appeal with
Financial Aid Services within two (2) weeks from the date the email
is sent to the student notifying them of the status. The time frame for
filing an appeal will be strictly enforced.
• The student automatically waives their right to appeal if they fail to
submit documentation within two (2) weeks. However, if the student
has extenuating circumstances for failing to submit an appeal within the
two (2) weeks, the student must be given permission by Financial Aid
Services to submit an appeal.
Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Process
Federal regulations provide for hardship waivers based on the death of a relative,
personal injury, illness (self and family) or other extenuating circumstances that
prevent the student from making progress.
Students must complete a Financial Aid Services Satisfactory Academic Progress
(SAP) Appeal packet and a narrative as to the circumstance(s) that prevented
SAP and attach supporting documentation such as:
• Death Certificate
• Letter from a doctor on official letterhead
• Police records or court documents
• Other verifiable documents that support the student’s claim.
In addition, students must also provide a statement indicating what provisions have
been made to ensure the circumstance(s), if any, will not reoccur or interfere with
future academic progress. A signed copy of an up-to-date degree plan along with
a degree plan summary sheet must also be submitted to Financial Aid Services.
Maximum Time Frame Appeal
A student appealing due to having exceeded the maximum time frame must
complete the Maximum Time Frame Appeal form along with a narrative explaining
the reasons why the time frame was exceeded. A signed copy of an up-to-date
degree plan along with a degree plan summary sheet must also be submitted to
Financial Aid Services. If approved, students will only be allowed to register for
and complete courses on the degree plan submitted. Any courses taken outside
the approved degree will cancel the approved appeal.
Additional Appeal Information
Students who graduate and return to DMC for a Second degree and HAVE
NEVER had to submit a Maximum Timeframe Appeal
If a student graduates from DMC and re-enrolls at DMC to pursue another
educational program, all developmental courses and academic courses where
the student earned grades of “F”, “R”, “W” or “I” will be excluded from the
Maximum Time Frame calculation. Students may request a review by providing
a degree plan furnished by their program advisor and submitting it to Financial
Aid Services Office for review. The degree plan will be reviewed by Financial
58
FINANCIAL AID
Aid Services to determine exactly which credit hours from the graduated
program apply to the student’s new program of study. Classes from the program
the student graduated from, which do not count toward graduation for the new
program, will be eliminated from the total. The review for a new degree after
graduation is limited to two degree program graduations.
Financial Aid Services will notify the student of the findings and recommendations.
Students whose appeal has been granted will be placed on financial aid probation
and all courses attempted must be passed with a 2.0 or better.
During the Appeals Process, the student must be prepared to pay for expenses
such as tuition, fees, books and supplies and/or other educational related
expenses from personal resources.
Additional Information:
• There is a limit of 30 semester hours of developmental course work that may
be eligible for financial aid. Any developmental hours beyond this 30 hour
limit will not be eligible for financial aid consideration. All developmental
course work will be counted toward the maximum time frame.
• All repeated course work will count toward the maximum time frame. **SEE
Retaking Coursework
• Transfer work: All transfer work, accepted for credit toward their program at
Del Mar College, will be counted towards the maximum time frame. Students
will be required to have an appropriate advisor evaluate the transfer hours
and certify on the DMC Transfer Credit Evaluation Form (TRCR), the number
of transfer hours applicable towards their current educational objective. A
signed degree plan must also be submitted along with the TRCR. Financial
Aid Services will adjust the total attempted semester hours accordingly. All
decisions made by the Financial Aid Services are final.
• TEXAS Grant and TEOG awards cannot be appealed.
Retaking Coursework
Changes to Financial Aid regulations will prohibit, in some cases, payment of
previously repeated courses. These changes were effective with the Summer
2012 term.
Rules will permit payment for retaking a course under the following conditions:
• If a student earns/receives a non-passing grade (I, R, W, F) in a course,
the student may retake the course and can be included for payment.
• If the student passes the course (D is considered passing), the student
may retake the course one more time to improve the grade and can be
included for payment
• Any second or subsequent repetition of a passed course may not be
counted for payment
• Retaking courses will be counted in evaluating the student’s record for
Satisfactory Academic Progress and maximum time frame eligibility
(www.delmar.edu/protect_your_financial_aid.aspx)
Consequences Of Withdrawing/Dropping
It is important that you consider very carefully the consequences of withdrawing/
dropping or not attending all of your classes at Del Mar College; this can adversely
impact your financial aid.
59
FINANCIAL AID
Return of Title IV Funds
Return of Title IV Funds applies to you if you have been awarded assistance
from a federally funded loan or grant and have completely withdrawn (officially
or unofficially) from Del Mar College or if you earn all non-passing grades and
your instructor reports your last day of attendance before the official end of the
semester the Department of Education considers you to have officially withdrawn.
A Return of Title IV funds calculation is then performed.
Calculation of Return
Federal aid is earned on a daily prorated basis up to and including the 60% point in the
semester. After the 60% point, all aid is considered earned and no refunds/repayments
are required.
Your Return of Title IV Funds will be calculated accordingly:
• The percent earned is calculated by dividing the number of calendar days
completed by the number of calendar days in the semester.
• The earned percentage received in federal assistance is the amount you are
permitted to keep. The unearned percentage (remaining amount) must be
returned to the federal government by both the College and you. This may
cause you to owe both the College and the federal government.
• The percent Del Mar College must return, on your behalf, will be returned to
the appropriate federal fund program. The Del Mar College Business Office
will bill you for the amount owed to the College. Outstanding balances at the
end of the term will be referred to a collection agency by the Del Mar College
Business Office.
• The funds will be refunded to the Federal Funds Program in the following
order, if applicable:
1. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student Loan
2. Subsidized Federal Direct Student Loan
3. Pell Grant Program
4. Federal SEOG
• You must repay the amount owed to the appropriate federal program within
45 days. After the 45th day, if payment is not received, your overpayment
will be referred to the ED for collections and to the National Student Loan
Database.
• You must then make repayment arrangements with the ED in order to
maintain future eligibility for federal funds.
Summary
Financial Aid Services is ready to assist you with exploring options
to financing your higher education costs.

Instructional Support
There are four specific types of instructional support.
1. Student Success (STSC 0101) Course
The Student Success Course (STSC 0101) helps you make a successful transition to
college. The course covers topics vital to college success: getting organized, time
management, goal setting, test taking, note taking and personal communication.
In addition, you are introduced to the wide variety of resources on campus.
2. Developmental Courses
You might need to enroll in developmental courses to build a strong academic
foundation prior to enrolling in college-level courses.
It takes determination on your part to postpone career plans while doing developmental
work in English, mathematics or reading. However, these academic enrichment
courses will establish the needed preparations prior to enrolling in college-level work.
You should know that you pay tuition for these courses, the grades earned are
reflected on your permanent transcript and, in most instances, these courses do not
count toward a degree. However, through these classes, you develop good study
habits, improve reading comprehension, increase ability to analyze and develop
reasoning skills. This is what building an academic foundation is really all about.
Your developmental course needs might be met by non-semester length developmental
education interventions, Non-Course Based Option (NCBO) rather than semester
length developmental education coursework. Check with the Chairperson of the
appropriate department to see if you are qualified to take an NCBO.
3. Supplemental Instruction
If you are enrolled in a historically difficult academic course, Supplemental
Instruction (SI) provides regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated
study sessions led by trained SI Leaders. If you regularly attend SI sessions, you
will learn study strategies and refine learning skills which can help you earn
higher course grades, stay enrolled and graduate. Call (361) 698-2138 or visit
www.delmar.edu/si.
4. Peer Tutoring
The Peer Tutoring Program assists you to identify strategies to support learning
and enhancing academic performance. Tutoring is conducted in a constructive
atmosphere of learning using a variety of tutoring techniques tailored to your
individual learning style. Our main goal is to inspire you to become a confident,
independent learner prepared to meet academic and personal challenges. This
free tutoring is provided in a number of academic areas such as:
• Business
• Computer Networking
63
ACHIEVING SUCCESS
• English
• Developmental Math/College Algebra/Natural Sciences
• Science
• Social Sciences
• Health Sciences

the same time earn money for your efforts. Our Peer Tutors have an overall GPA
of 3.0 to 4.0, are currently enrolled and have earned a grade of an “A” or a “B”
in the subject area. Peer Tutors are certified through the College Reading and
Learning Association Certification Program. For more information about tutoring

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND RECOGNITION
Student Activities and Recognition

Outside of the classroom, you can learn leadership skills, make
new friends and attend more than 100 special events throughout
the year. Most are free or cost very little.
Activities
Student Leadership and Campus Life
The Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life is committed to promoting
campus life and student leadership through cultural, social and leadership de-
velopment. Along with a strong intramural sports program, DMC has more than
30 clubs and organizations, providing students exposure to community projects,
leadership and volunteer opportunities.
Campus Life
There are three ways you can participate in campus life—through student orga-
nizations, cultural programs and intramural sports.
1. Registered Student Organizations
Many leadership opportunities exist for you to pursue your special interests by
joining one of the many Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) on campus.
Departmental
Departmental RSOs are organized to give you opportunities for self-ex-
pression and leadership in activities related to your major field of study.
Special interest
Special interest RSOs are organized to serve and to promote special in-
terest areas for you such as governmental affairs, writing, physical and
recreational activities or religious groups.
Honorary
Honorary RSOs sponsor activities that promote and encourage scholar-
ship, leadership and fellowship among students. Your membership in
honorary organizations is selective based on academic achievement.
If you are not part of a recognized club and wish to conduct an activity
on campus which contributes to the educational and cultural environ-
ment of the College, you must obtain permission from the Office of
Student Leadership and Campus Life. Approved requests will be sched-
uled at a time and location which will not interrupt other activities on
campus.
2. Cultural Programs
Several informative and entertaining events—from concerts to theatrical produc-
tions to lectures—are scheduled each semester free of charge as long as you have
a valid Del Mar College ID. The programs are paid for by your student services
fee and are selected by the Cultural Programs Series Committee.
3. Intramural and Recreational Sports
Del Mar College’s intramural and recreational sports program is designed to
provide opportunities for athletic competition and physically active recreation
for all currently enrolled academic students as well as employees of the College.
69
It is the goal of the intramural and recreational sports program to be as broad as
possible, offering you opportunities to participate in a variety of activities. The
intramural and recreational sports program is funded by your student services fee.
Activities
You may participate in organized intramural activities including
tournaments, leagues and special events. These may include team and
individual sports for men, women and co-recreational competition. For
information, please call (361) 698-1337 or view the schedule online at
http://dmc122011.delmar.edu/kine/imcalendar.html
Facilities
With a currently validated Del Mar College ID card, you may use the
recreational facilities including a gymnasium, 25-meter indoor pool,
fitness center, jogging track, racquetball and tennis courts. The facilities
are also available on weekdays and weekends during non-class hours.
For information, call (361) 698-1334 or view the schedule online at http://
dmc122011.delmar.edu/kine/facilityrechours.html
Publicity
Here’s how to get the word out about an activity…
College Relations Office
If you are planning an event open to the public, you should contact the College
Relations Office at least two weeks in advance. The College Relations Office
coordinates all publicity and publications for College events that are open to
the public. The staff will be happy to assist you with any news releases, public
service announcements, publications distributed off-campus or contacts with the
news media. Contact the College Relations Office at (361) 698-1247.
The Foghorn
A good way to keep up with events on campus is the College newspaper, The
Foghorn. It is published bi-weekly (except holidays, summer and exams) and is
distributed free on campus. It is produced by students enrolled in journalism
classes, but non-journalism students are welcome on the staff.
The Foghorn is partially funded by your student services fee.
Printed Materials
Printed materials (displays, posters, petitions, handouts, surveys, etc.) which origi-
nate outside the College Relations Office must be presented to the Office of Student
Leadership and Campus Life for approval before being distributed or posted.
Other
Here are some details about life on campus that you should know.
Student Identification Cards
Student identification cards (IDs) are issued free of charge to you when you first
register; however, a charge will be made for replacements (We know, you hate
the picture). Also, IDs must be validated each subsequent registration period.
Cards are good for admission to College functions, for obtaining library materials
and for using recreational facilities. You should carry it with you at all times and
present it upon request.
70
You can get your ID card at the White Library (East Campus) or the Barth
Learning Resources Center (West Campus) by showing proof of registration.
Identification cards are made during all library hours except the first and last
30 minutes of operation.
Parking Permits
To park your car on campus, you need a Vehicle Identification Permit (VIP). To
get a VIP, fill out a parking registration card and submit it to Campus Security.
They, in turn, will issue you a VIP. See the section on Parking Regulations.
Lost and Found
If you have lost or found an item, check with the Office of Student Leadership
and Campus Life, located in the Harvin and Coleman Student Centers. If books or
other items are turned in and they have your name and phone number, an Office
of Student Leadership and Campus Life staff member will attempt to contact you.
Recognition
Now that you’ve succeeded both in and out of the classroom, it’s time to be
recognized for all of your hard work.
Hall of Fame
Each spring, faculty, administrators and students nominate sophomore students
for consideration to the highest honor that can be bestowed on a Del Mar Col-
lege student: the Hall of Fame. Selection is based on student scholarship, leader-
ship and participation in Registered Student Organizations. A committee elects
students from the list of nominees to join a select and distinguished group of
students whose photographs are placed on the Hall of Fame Walls located in the
Harvin Student Center. For information, call the Director of Student Leadership
and Campus Life at (361) 698-1279.
Recognition Ceremony
Each April, outstanding students are chosen by various departments for their
academic achievement or students nominated to the Who’s Who Among Students
in American Junior Colleges. Hall of Fame finalists are announced at the end of
the Recognition Ceremony program. This program is funded by your student
services fee. Contact the Director of Student Leadership and Campus Life for
additional information at (361) 698-1279.
Scholarships Recognition Reception
Each year the Del Mar College Foundation, Inc. recognizes scholarship recipi-
ents with a reception where students have the opportunity to meet the generous
benefactors who made their scholarship possible. For additional information on
Del Mar College Foundation, Inc. scholarships, visit the Del Mar College Web
site at www.delmar.edu/foundation or see the Financial Aid Section of this catalog

Other Costs
Besides tuition and fees, there might be a few other costs associated with your

Occupational and Health Sciences Education
If you are in an occupational or health science field, you must furnish your own
books and hand tools. Such items may be obtained from sources of your choice.
A list of required books and tools will be furnished at the time of registration.
Insurance
You should be aware that you are responsible for your own private health and
accident insurance. Liability or malpractice insurance is required in certain
programs. See “Student Liability.”
Student Liability
Activities during occupational programs and courses may expose you to more
than the usual degree of responsibility and liability. Health sciences, cosmetology,
criminal justice, law enforcement, fire science, emergency medical services and
occupational safety and health students may be required to carry professional
liability insurance.
For example, $5 per semester will be charged in all health sciences courses, and
$21 per semester will be charged in all Emergency Medical Services and Fire
Science programs to provide general liability coverage for students.
Payment
Tuition and fees must be paid or payment arrangements made by the appropriate
due date for the registration process to be considered complete. Course credit and
76
COSTS
grades may be withheld until all obligations to the College are met. Auditors in all
courses must pay the same tuition and fees as those who are enrolled for credit.
You will not be sent a bill by mail. You may view total tuition and fees on WebDMC.
Payment may be made by mail, on the Web, or in person at the Business Office in
the Harvin Student Center (HC) on the East Campus or in the Coleman Center
(CC) on the West Campus. Payment may also be made with a credit card by
phone (see “Telephone Directory” in this Catalog).
If you do not pay, or make satisfactory arrangements to pay, all financial obligations
to the College, you may have your registration voided and/or you may be
removed from all classes; also course credit, grades, degree or certificate may be
withheld. Also, you may be charged for loss of, or damage to, College property
for which you are responsible, including library books.
Refunds
If for some reason you have to interrupt your education, you might get some of
your costs refunded.
In order to be eligible for a refund, you must complete the withdrawal requirements
of the College. First, you must complete, sign and file a College Withdrawal
form in the Registrar’s Office, and a refund application with the Business Office.
Applications for refunds will not be accepted after the end of the semester in
which withdrawals are made, and refunds will be processed as soon as possible
after the census date for the semester.
Withdrawing
If you withdraw or are withdrawn from Del Mar College, you may be eligible
for a refund of a portion of the tuition and fees paid to Del Mar College for that
semester. If you received financial assistance to cover tuition and fee costs from
outside the family, then a portion of the refund will be returned to the grant,
scholarship or loan source from which the assistance was received.
Please note that you must visit the Registrar’s Office and complete the Notice
of Withdrawal. This step will allow Del Mar College to refund the maximum
possible amount of tuition and fees.
Refund Formulas
The College refund and repayment policy is applicable if you attend traditional
16-week semesters. There are two refund formulas used at Del Mar College.
1. First Formula
The first formula applies if you haven’t received financial aid.
Fall and Spring
Prior to first class day 100%
During the first 15 class days 70%
During the 16th - 20th class days 25%
After 20th class day 0%
Summer
Prior to first class day 100%
During the first five class days 70%
During the sixth and seventh class days 25%
After the seventh class day 0%
77
COSTS
2. Second Formula
The second formula applies if you have received financial aid and the refund is
as mandated by the Higher Education Act Reauthorization of 1998.
The formula provides a Return of Title IV aid if you received Federal Financial
Aid in the form of a Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG) or Direct Student Loan.
The amendment states that if you withdraw before completing at least 60% of the
semester or earn all non-passing grades, you may have to pay back a portion of
your federal funds. The percentage of the refund is equal to the number of days
attended divided by the number of days in the semester.
The first class day is defined as the “day classes start at Del Mar College and
not as the first day a student attends classes.” The first class day is based on the
Texas College and University System Common Calendar as determined by the
state. Refer to the current semester credit class schedule for applicable first class
date. A 100 percent refund is made for courses dropped prior to the first class day.
If any portion of the refund amount is left after satisfying the federal Return of
Title IV Aid, the remaining balance will be applied to Del Mar College funds,
state programs and any other sources of financial assistance.
Worksheets used to calculate the Return of Title IV funds are available at Financial
Aid Services. For a detailed discussion, see “Financial Aid Services” section of
the Catalog.
Distribution of Funds
No cash refunds will be made; all refunds will be issued via the DMC Debit
Card. With the DMC Debit Card, refunds will be delivered in the manner the
student selects at www.DMCDebitCard.com. Payments made by credit cards will
be credited to the respective card account.
Rebate Opportunity
If you began a baccalaureate degree from a Texas general academic teaching
institution in the Fall 1997 semester or later, you are eligible for a tuition rebate of
$1,000. In general, this rebate opportunity is based on your attempting no more
than three semester hours in excess of the minimum required to complete the
baccalaureate degree. Complete information concerning this rebate is available
from the College Business Office.
Summary
It costs to go to College, but it costs more not to. Think about it.

The Registrar’s Office assists you with all matters pertaining to your student
records at Del Mar College, most importantly the careful tracking of your grades.
The Registrar’s Office maintains your official Del Mar College transcript and is
charged with complete confidentiality abiding by all Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations. Additionally, they can provide you with
free copies of your DMC transcript, assistance in dropping courses, changes in
residency and applying for graduation. The Registrar’s Office can also assist
you in evaluating your transfer coursework from another institution for the
purpose of advising and registering at Del Mar College. (See Credits Earned
in the “Getting Started Section -- Transfer Student” for more information on
completing a Transfer Evaluation Request Form (TERF).
DEL MAR COLLEGE STUDENT RECORDS POLICY

RELEASE OF STUDENT RECORDS
All records submitted for a student’s file become the property of the College and
a part of the student’s permanent record. High school transcripts, transcripts from
other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar documents
are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution, including
the student.
STUDENT PRIVACY
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (Buckley
Amendment), sets forth the guidelines for the release of student records to other
parties. Under this federal law, students have the right to inspect their records
and correct any inaccuracies that might be found in them.
Access to the record by anyone other than the student is limited and generally
requires prior written consent by the student. The College will mail confidential
records, including transcripts, at the student’s direction. Any person who picks
up sealed copies of these records for the student must have written, signed
permission to do so from the student.
Directory information, which includes a student’s name, address, date and place
of birth, field of study, dates of attendance, and degrees and awards received,
may be released by the College without consent of the student. Any student who
wishes to withhold any or all of this directory information from release must
notify the Registrar in writing within three weeks of the date of the student’s
initial enrollment.
Academic Honesty
You are expected to maintain the integrity of the College by maintaining academic
honesty for yourself and by expecting academic honesty from your fellow
students. One of the requirements for passing the courses you take at Del Mar
College is that you do your own work. Meeting this requirement means avoiding
plagiarism, collusion and cheating.
Plagiarism occurs when a student takes another’s words or ideas and uses them
79
ACADEMIC POLICIES
as if they were the student’s own. This can happen in three ways: 1) A student
copies another’s words without using quotation marks and without giving the
source, 2) A student puts another’s ideas into the student’s words but does not
give the source and 3) A student duplicates another’s structure of thought or
organization of ideas but does not give the source.
Collusion occurs when someone else writes all or any part of a student’s paper.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, a student looking at another’s work or
using unauthorized materials during a test or written assignment; or fabricating
data, methodology, results, findings from those in an official document, publication
or research and claiming them to be authentic.
Census Date
The census date, also called the official reporting date, is the date on which Del Mar
College certifies student enrollment for financial aid and state funding purposes.
Classes dropped before the census date do not appear on your transcripts. Classes
dropped after the census date appear on your transcripts and count toward the
6-drop limit.
Course Load
To be classified as full-time, you must register for a minimum of 12 semester
hours. To complete a program in two years, the degree/certificate plans in this
Catalog suggest how many semester hours you must take each semester.
According to the Texas Administrative Code, you should not carry more courses
in any term than would equal more than one semester credit hour per week over
the course of the term. For example, in the fall or spring semester, you should
not enroll in more than 16 semester hours. In a six-week summer session, you
should not enroll in more than six semester hours.
Course Prerequisites And Co-Requisites

Pre-requisites and co-requisites (also known as concurrent pre-requisites) are
two kinds of entry requirements for particular courses. You must satisfy pre-
requisites, or their equivalent, before registering for a course. You must enroll
in a co-requisite course at the same time you register in the other course. In
most cases, you can register for the other course if you have already successfully
completed the co-requisite. Pre-requisites and co-requisites are identified in the
course descriptions at the back section of this catalog.
Auditing A Course
Permission to audit a course or courses may be granted by the Registrar’s Office
if you are eligible for admission to the College and either already have credit in
the course(s) or do not wish credit for the work.
You may audit a course on a space-available basis and are required to pay the
full tuition and fees at the time of registration. Tuition and fees for auditing are
the same as those rates charged to students enrolled for credit.
Since auditors are only observers, you may not under any circumstances claim
credit for the course. Change from credit to audit status must be done before the
12th class day in the standard 16-week session and before the beginning of the
summer and non-standard semester terms (other than 16 weeks). Please visit
the Registrar’s Office to change your grading method or for more information.
80
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Kinesiology Activity Courses (KINE 1100-1299, KINE 2100-2299 and DANC
1101-2154) may not be audited.
Grading System
At the end of each semester, the grades and credits awarded are posted to
your official academic record. Your grades may be accessed using WebDMC at
www.delmar.edu/webdmc. Grades are not mailed to you.
At Del Mar College, grades are expressed in letters that are equated in points
used in calculating the cumulative grade-point average. Del Mar College uses
a four (4.0) point system of grading. Five grades (A, B, C, D, P) indicate that the
course was completed for credit and a grade was awarded. Two grades (F, R)
indicate that the course was not completed for credit and a grade was not awarded.
Two grades (I, W) indicate that the course was attempted and not completed.
One grade (AU) indicates that the course did not earn credit. One grade (CR)
indicates credit earned for courses accepted toward program completion and
graduation as a result of evaluation, credit by examination, or other validations
of course-required knowledge and skills. One grade (X) indicates that a grade
has not been assigned. The following system of final grades is used to report
student performance.
Grade or Mark Grade Points Per Semester Hour
A (Excellent) 4.00
B (Good) 3.00
C (Fair) 2.00
D (Poor) 1.00
F (Failure) 0.00
P (Pass) 0.00
R (Repeated) 0.00
For use in developmental course
AU (Audit) 0.00
I (Incomplete) 0.00
W (Withdrawal) 0.00
CR (represents credit for courses 0.00
that are accepted toward program
completion and graduation as a result
of evaluation, credit by examination
or other validations of course-required
knowledge and skills)
X (no grade assigned) 0.00
Grade Point Average

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated multiplying the semester-hour
value of the course by the point value in which a completion grade of A, B, C, D,
F, R, or P was earned. For example: 3 semester hours with a “B”grade = 9 grade
points. To determine the grade point average, add up the grade points from
81
ACADEMIC POLICIES
all courses and divide by the total semester hours attempted. For example: 15
semester hours with 30 total grade points = 2.0 average. The semester hour of
credit represents at least three hours of work each week, on average, for a period
of fifteen to sixteen weeks (one semester credit hour is equivalent to one hour of
classroom work and two hours of preparation/study time to be performed outside
of class time). Laboratory work may add a semester hour’s credit to a course.
Incomplete Grade (I)

When you do not complete a course because of illness or extenuating circumstances
in any semester, the instructor may assign the “I” grade, signifying that your
work is incomplete.
The instructor will provide you and the department chair with: 1) a written reason
for the assignment of an “I” grade, 2) a description of the work to satisfy course
requirements, 3) a timeline for you to complete the work and 4) a timeline for
the instructor to submit a grade change form to the Registrar. The “I” grade will
not be computed into the grade point average.
If the “I” grade change is not completed at the end of the subsequent full-term
semester (Fall or Spring), the “I” grade will automatically change to an “F” (for
failing) in college-level classes, or “R” (for repeat) in developmental classes. Any
exceptions to this timeline can be made only with the approval of the Provost
and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services.
If you have an “I” grade, you may not enroll in the same class in the next semester
as a substitution for completing unfinished work on the “I” grade. However, if
you receive a grade of “F” or “R” because you failed to complete the requirements
for the removal of the “I” grade, you may re-enroll for the same course again. If
you repeat the course, the grade in the repeated grade will become the grade of
record and will be calculated into the Grade Point Average. The “F” or “R” from
the “I” grade that was not completed will remain on the transcript.
Withdraw Grade (W)

An official withdrawal from a course may be initiated by a student or faculty
member, resulting in the assignment of a “W” grade which is not computed in
a grade point average. Students must meet the “W” grade deadline in order to
be eligible to receive this designation. Failure to meet the deadline will result
in a failing grade.
Pass/Fail (P/F) Grade

Courses taken on a pass/fail basis do not earn grade points. All pass/fail
grades will be entered on the transcript. If a student fails a pass/fail course,
the attempted credits will be calculated in your attempted hours that determine
grade point average.
The Pass/Fail grade is assigned to RNSG clinical courses in the Nurse Education
Program and in the Court Reporting Program to CRTR 2435 Accelerated Machine
Shorthand (Web-based course only).
Repeat Grade (R) For Developmental Courses

Del Mar College offers a number of courses to prepare students for college credit
work. They are required, based on placement test scores, for you if you need
additional preparation in specific subjects in degree programs. Developmental
82
ACADEMIC POLICIES
courses do not count toward graduation or calculate into your semester or
cumulative grade point average.
In developmental courses the “R” grade is used to indicate that you have made
some progress but are not ready for a more advanced course within the discipline.
The grades of “D” and “F” are not used in developmental courses. The grade
of “R” does not automatically convert to any other grade and is not used in
computing grade point averages or academic status.
If you receive the grade of “R” in a developmental course, you must reregister
for that course or complete course requirements and make a grade of “A,” “B,” or
“C” in order to: 1) receive credit for that developmental course and 2) be eligible
to register for a more advanced course in the discipline.
Developmental courses in which the “R” grade may be used include:
DE02• ENGL 0305, 0306 • ESOL 0305, 0306, 0311, 0312, 0313, 0314, 0321, 0322,
0323, 0324, 0341, 0342, 0343, 0344, 0354 • INRW 0408 • MATH 0370, 0371, 0373
• READ 0305 • STSC 0101
Repeating A Course And Grade Calculation

If you repeat a course, only the highest grade earned will become your official
grade for the course and will be calculated into your grade point average and
will count towards total credits earned. Your first grade will remain on your
transcript of record; however, it will be removed from the calculation of your
cumulative grade point average and the total credits earned. If you repeat a
course for three or more times, you may be subject to paying higher tuition and
fees. For a repeated course, a grade of “W” may not replace a completion grade.
This policy may vary with special admissions programs.
Grade Appeal
The evaluation of academic work is the prerogative of the instructor and the
rules for determining final course grade should be established by the instructor
and provided to the students in an electronic or printed course syllabus at the
beginning of the semester. A student who believes grounds exist for the appeal
of a final grade must first consult with the instructor. If the appeal cannot be
resolved, a student may proceed to the grade appeal process.
The procedures described in this policy are available only for appeal of a semester
or term grade based on one or more of the following reasons:
1. A mathematical error in calculation of the grade or clerical error in
recording of the grade that remains uncorrected;
2. The assignment of a grade to a particular student by application of
more exacting requirements than were applied to other students in the
course;
3. The assignment of a grade to a particular student on some basis other
than performance in the course;
4. The assignment of a grade by a substantial departure from the faculty
member’s previously announced standards;
5. Extenuating circumstances such as illness, incapacity, or absences of the
instructor generate uncertainty regarding appropriateness of the grade
assigned.
Grades given as a result of academic dishonesty cannot be appealed under the
grade appeal procedure, but should be made under the provisions of the Policy
on Scholastic Dishonesty B7.13.7.
83
ACADEMIC POLICIES
The procedures for submitting a grade appeal are available in the office of the
Dean of Student Engagement and Retention.
Course Numbering
Courses are numbered to indicate level of instruction. Freshman level courses
are designated in the 1000 sequence, and sophomore level courses are designated
in the 2000 sequence. All Del Mar College courses are identified with letter
abbreviations followed by a set of numbers. Courses are alphabetized in this
Catalog according to their abbreviations; see the Index of Courses in the back
of this Catalog to locate a specific subject. The numbers in parentheses after
the course title indicates the number of lecture hours, lab hours and credits
respectively. For example, CHEM 1411, General Inorganic Chemistry I (3-3-4)
meets for three lecture hours and three lab hours a week in a regular semester
and awards four semester hours of credit.
Four-Digit Numbers
Del Mar College has adopted the Texas Common Course Numbering System for
most academic courses and the Workforce Education Course Numbering System
for occupational and technical courses. These four-digit numbers were developed
to simplify the process of transferring credits from Del Mar College to other Texas
colleges and universities and to ensure the maximum credit possible for each
transfer student. These numbers are approved by the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board.
In the four-digit common course numbers the first digit usually indicates the level
of the course: 0 - developmental, 1 - freshman and 2 - sophomore level. Some
exceptions to this rule exist. (These courses will not count toward fulfilling the
18-hour sophomore requirement for graduation with an associate degree: MSCI
2371 and 2372.) The second digit indicates the credit value in semester hours.
The third and fourth digits are used to differentiate courses or as an indicator
of course sequence.
Schedule Changes
Schedule Changes (Adding or Dropping a Course)
You may make schedule changes (add or drop a course) during the time specified
in the Del Mar College class schedule and by completing the necessary forms
required by the Registrar’s Office.
Dropping an Individual Course with a Grade of “W”
The grade of “W” will be assigned to a course that you have dropped by the
date stated in the class schedule. You are not eligible to receive a grade of “W”
without completing the official paperwork by the deadline stated in the schedule
of classes. Each term or session has its own “W” drop deadline, which must be
met in order to be eligible for a “W” grade.
Six Drop Limit
If you are a first-time student who entered college in Fall 2007 or after, you cannot
drop more than six courses, including any course you have dropped at another
college in Texas, according to Senate Bill 1231. There are exceptions to this policy
if you can show good cause for dropping a course(s). For further information,
contact the Registrar’s Office.
84
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Implications for Financial Aid
You should be aware that dropping courses may affect your eligibility for financial
aid. You should contact Financial Aid Services prior to dropping a course or
completely withdrawing from school. If you stop attending class without
officially withdrawing from the College, then the grade is an automatic “F.”
Students receiving Veterans Benefits for education should contact Veterans
Services for specific policies concerning drops and withdrawals. These changes
may have a direct effect on your VA benefits.
Class Attendance
Students are responsible for attendance and are advised that excessive absences
may adversely affect their grades or their continued enrollment in the course.
Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of you. A
record of attendance may be kept by instructors, beginning the first day of class.
If attendance is unsatisfactory, the instructor retains the right to initiate an
instructor withdrawal from class. If you desire readmission, you should contact
your instructor to discuss the option of reinstatement. If you do not carry out that
procedure, your withdrawal from the class is final. If you have been reinstated
into a class and are absent again without excuse, the instructor may request your
final dismissal from class.
Certain absences are ruled valid and acceptable, such as participation in recognized
student activities of the College or illness. Specific programs, such as health
sciences, may have additional attendance requirements that are applicable to
the students enrolled in the program.
Student Absences on Religious Holy Days
In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.911, the College will excuse you
from attending classes or other required activities, including examinations, for
the observance of a religious holy day, including travel for that purpose. If your
absence is excused under this subsection, you may not be penalized for that
absence and will be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment
within a reasonable time after the absence. “Religious holy day” means a holy
day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property
taxation under the Tax Code.
Notifications of planned absences must be in writing and must be delivered by you,
not later than the 15th day after the first day of the semester, either (a) personally
to the instructor of each class, with receipt of the notification acknowledged and
dated by the instructor or (b) by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed
to the instructor of each class.
Withdrawal From The College

Failure to file a withdrawal form may result in grades of “F” for courses in progress.
Administrative Withdrawal
The Administration may drop you for administrative reasons for reasonable cause.
You may also be withdrawn for those incidents that may be related to violating
the student code of conduct and in particular, disrupting the classroom and the
educational process. Should you be subject to administrative withdrawal, the
College will provide proper notification. You may seek the advice of the Provost
85
ACADEMIC POLICIES
and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services about this procedure and
any due process procedures that will be afforded.
You may be withdrawn for issues related to academic integrity. Instructors with
evidence of your plagiarism or other forms of cheating will follow the procedures
outlined in A7.13.6.4 of the Board of Regents “Policies and Procedures Manual,
Penalties for Dishonest Behavior.” A recommendation by the faculty member to
suspend and/or dismiss you from the College for academic dishonesty must be
submitted through the department chair to the academic dean. The appropriate
academic dean will convene an Academic Ethics Committee prior to suspending/
dismissing you to afford you due process.
Instructor Withdrawal
Instructors may withdraw you from class for lack of attendance or other academic
reason, such as not meeting course pre-requisite.
Appeal of Administrative Withdrawal or Instructor Withdrawal
If you are withdrawn from a class, you may
• Appeal to the instructor by first obtaining an Extenuating
Circumstances Schedule Change Form from the Registrar’s Office and
presenting it to the instructor.
• If satisfactory arrangements can be made between you and the
instructor, readmission to the class may be permitted upon the
completion of the Schedule Change Form..
• The completed form must be returned by you to the Registrar’s Office
within 10 working days from the date of the drop by the instructor.
Academic Standing
Academic standing will be established once you have completed 12 college credit
hours. Academic standing is determined at the end of each semester when an
evaluation is made of your cumulative grade point average (GPA).
To be in good scholastic standing, you must maintain a 2.0 GPA. The grades
posted on your transcript are a permanent record and will always be a part of your
academic history. Grades can affect your eligibility for admissions to a specialized
program, transferability to another college or university, or qualifications as an
applicant for employment.
If you have completed 12 college credit hours and your cumulative GPA falls
below a 2.0, then the following applies
Probation: Probation I
Students with a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 and who have 12 or more credit
hours completed will be placed on academic probation. Probation means you can
still enroll at the College but are not in good standing and a hold will be placed
on your registration. To remove the hold students must meet with a program/
academic advisor to get signed degree plan and a retention case manager to
develop a learning contract. Students will also receive correspondence from the
Dean of Student Engagement and Retention outlining student support options
and contact information for Retention Case Managers.
Second Warning: Probation II (continued probation)
Students who continue on academic probation for more than one semester and
complete 13 credit hours or more and have less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA will
86
ACADEMIC POLICIES
continue to be on probation. Continued probation means you can still enroll at
the College but are still not in good standing and a hold will be placed on your
registration for a mandatory meeting with your program/academic advisor to
review/update your degree plan and a retention alert case manager to review/
update your learning contract. Students will receive correspondence from the
Dean of Student Engagement and Retention outlining next steps.
Suspension
Students who fail to raise their GPA above 2.0 cumulative after two semesters will
then be subject to academic suspension. If you are placed on academic suspension
you must appeal utilizing the academic suspension appeal form. Completing the
form will require you to meet with and secure signatures from your program/
academic advisor and a retention case manager to ensure you are following the
degree plan and learning contract that was developed. After meeting with your
program/academic advisor and retention case manager, you must contact the
dean of your academic unit and make an appointment to discuss your appeal
and grounds for continued enrollment and obtain the dean’s signature. The
final step of the academic suspension appeal process is turning the form into
the Registrar’s Office.
Transfer Student Appeal for Admission
If you are transferring from another college or university on scholastic suspension,
you may appeal for admission by utilizing the academic suspension appeal form
available at the Registrar’s Office.
Suspension Appeals
If you are on scholastic suspension from Del Mar College or from any other
college, you must appeal utilizing the academic suspension appeal form. It is your
responsibility to initiate the request. The form is available at the Registrar’s Office.
Academic Recognition
Honors Program
The Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services
coordinates the Honors Program which offers several discipline-related honors
plans to provide intellectual stimulus, and professional development, while
awarding special recognition. Some plans provide a broad experience of inter-
related study. Others emphasize intensive study of a single subject.
A current list of courses available for honors credit is accessible via this link:
www.delmar.edu/Honors_Program.aspx.
Reasonable progression towards the completion of a plan, with a minimum 3.0
cumulative GPA, is required in the Program. Re-admittance in the Program is
possible for extenuating circumstances.
Honors Courses
Honors courses are available to every student continuing in the Honors Program
and who has met the prerequisites for the standard course and the honors
component. Most employers and university faculty equate honors credits with
challenged, enriched study. Therefore, the honors component of any course must
have amplified substance and elevated prerequisites beyond those of the standard
course. Assessment levels of R3, E3, M3 are recommended for all honors courses.
87
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Honors Program Learning Contract
The Office of the Provost and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services
provides the learning contract to current and prospective honors students. To
receive honors credit, you must enroll in a standard class and, after the semester
starts, sign a learning contract with the instructor for the honors component of
the course. Credit for honors will be awarded at the end of the semester, after
the course project grade of “A” or “B” has been registered and completion of the
honors contract has been verified by the Office of the Provost and Vice President
of Instruction and Student Services. An “H” indicates honors credit on transcripts.
Honors Designation on Transcript
If you have completed the requirements of your selected honors plan at the time
of graduation and if you have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, you will receive
special designation on your official transcript.
Honors List
If you are enrolled for and complete 6 or more semester hours of college-level
course work and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or more on your semester
grades, your name will be included on the Honors List. Developmental courses
beginning with the number zero are not considered in Honors List calculations.
President’s Honors List
If you are enrolled for and complete 6 or more semester hours of college-level
course work and earn a grade point average of 4.0 on your semester grades, your
name will be included on the President’s List. Developmental courses beginning
with the number zero are not considered in President’s List calculations.
Graduation with Honors List
If your cumulative GPA falls within one of the following ranges at the end of
the semester prior to the commencement ceremony, you will be recognized at
the commencement ceremony and the honors designation will be noted on your
transcript. To graduate with honors, you must meet the following overall grade
point average
Cum Laude (with honor) 3.7 to 3.799

Magna Cum Laude (with great honor) 3.8 to 3.899
Summa Cum Laude (with highest honor) 3.9 to 4.000

ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT
Assessment and Placement

The College is committed to make certain that you are placed in
the correct course sequence to ensure success.
Assessment Of Skills
Assessment of basic skills, through testing, is essential because it helps you and
your academic advisor with proper course selection.
Specifically, you need to be tested for reading, writing and English, and math-
ematics skills to determine your readiness for college-credit courses prior to
registration. This testing requirement is part of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI).
Performance on tests will not be used as a condition of admission to the College.
However, placement levels are used to determine which classes you can sign up for.
Levels
All college-level courses at Del Mar College require specific assessment levels.
Any assessment below Level III means that you will be placed in developmental
course to further strengthen your skills and ensure academic success.
An assessment level chart is found on the next page and in the “Course Descrip-
tions” section of this Catalog to assist you and advisors in determining your
placement in coursework.
Testing
Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Compliance
All new students are required to take a placement test to determine if develop-
mental courses are needed in reading, writing and mathematics as required by
the Texas Success Initiative. The TSI Placement Assessment is valid up to five
years from the test date.
The purpose of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), mandated by the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board is to grant institutions of higher education the
flexibility and responsibility to improve individualized programs and ensure
the success of students in higher education. All students must meet placement
requirements before enrolling in restricted courses.
** The following examinations all qualify to satisfy the TSI requirement:

ACT - American College Test
TAKS - Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills
SAT - Scholastic Aptitude Test (taken before March 2015)
STARR (EOC) - State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness
NOTE: The above exemptions may be used within a five year period of enrollment.

2. Departmental Exams
Each department chairperson sets the requirements to meet in order to take a
departmental examination for credit. Generally, you are eligible to apply for
this exam if you earned predominantly “A” grades in the subject in high school
and scored exceptionally high on a nationally-recognized test and/or if you can
demonstrate to the department chairperson significant and relevant experience
in the subject area.
Departmental exams will not be given for developmental courses, nor for any
course in which you are presently enrolled. Arrangements for testing are made
through the department chairpersons.
Evaluation Of Credentials For Credit

You may earn credit by departmental evaluation of your credentials when such
learning can be documented as substantially equivalent to a Del Mar course.
97
Credit will be accepted and applied from the following:
• Nontraditional transcripts (armed forces schools, real estate boards,
American Institute of Banking, hospital schools, cosmetology schools)
• State or national board exams (Vocational Nurse Education, Registered
Nurse Education, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, Surgical
Technology)
• Experience in business, military administration and industry
• High school programs or military training included in written articula-
tion agreements with the College.
Policies And Procedures For Earning Credit
It’s important to understand the policies and procedures for credit by exam and
evaluation of credentials.
Policies
1. Only if you are currently enrolled or are a former Del Mar College
student are you eligible to apply for credit. Informal evaluation will be
done free of charge.
2. Credit by exam - College Board Advance Placement (AP), College
Board Achievement Exam (SAT II), College Level Examination Program
(CLEP) and Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support
(DANTES) will be accepted as “credit only” (CR) and will not affect
your Grade Point Average (GPA).
3. Only an “A” or “B” grade receives credit for departmental exams.
Grade points are given for a departmental exam and a footnote indicat-
ing that credit was obtained by examination will be indicated on your
transcript.
4. Credit earned by evaluation of credentials will be determined by the
pass/fail method. No grade other than “CR,” the number of credit
hours, course number and title are recorded on your transcript.
5. Examinations offered at Del Mar College can be retaken only after six
months have elapsed. Some departmental examinations cannot be re-
taken.
6. Credit by examination satisfies degree requirements in the same way as
credit earned by passing courses, except that it cannot be used to satisfy
the 25 percent of semester credit hours earned at Del Mar College,
which is the residency requirement for graduation.
7. Credit may not be earned by examination for most performance-
oriented courses, such as music ensembles, drama productions, dance
performances, radio-television shows, speech competitions, physical
activities, etc.
Procedures
1. Obtain a petition to record credit in the Registrar’s Office or the appro-
priate academic department.
2. Have the petition signed by the department chairperson.
3. Pay the required fee at the Business Office.
4. Take the test or present documentation for evaluation. If credit is
granted, the results will be forwarded by the department chairperson,
to the dean and to the Registrar’s Office.
You can get more detailed information about testing procedures from the
98
Registrar’s Office both on East and West Campus or the appropriate academic
department.
Fees
A statement of testing fees and evaluation charges is available at the Business
Office and additional information for the petitioning and recording of credit is
available in the Registrar’s Office.
Advising
Academic advising is important. It is available to all who wish to talk about
course prerequisites, graduation requirements, career opportunities and sug-
gestions for doing well in class.
If you are a declared major, you work closely with faculty members in your
major department.
If you are an undeclared or liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) major, you are
advised by the staff located in the Student Enrollment Center.
Advising is required prior to online registration if you have earned 24 credits or
fewer. If you have more than 24 credits, you are still encouraged to meet with
an advisor.
Appointments
You need to call the department of your major to schedule an advising appointment.
If you are using the Student Enrollment Center, walk-ins are welcome; no ap-
pointment is needed.
Your Responsibilities
• Prior to the appointment, think about your goals and reflect on pre-
vious academic progress. If you are currently enrolled, you should
consider how you are doing in your classes. Think about your other
commitments (work, family, etc.) and how those impact your time.
Then, you and your advisor can discuss how to turn goals into reality
by following your degree plan. A copy of the degree plan, given to you,
will show the specific courses needed.
• You are responsible for making sure that the courses selected meet
degree requirements. Use the College Catalog to confirm which courses
meet the requirements. Failure to obtain correct information will not
exempt you from having to meet those requirements. You should bring
a tentative list of classes you want to take to the advising appointment.
• Courses should be selected with attention to prerequisites and sequenc-
es. If you preregister for classes for which you lack the prerequisites,
you can be dropped from those classes by the chairperson of the appro-
priate department in order to release those spaces to students who have
satisfied the prerequisites. You will be protected from such removal
only if you secure permission of the chairperson prior to registering.
• It is your responsibility to know specific transfer requirements of the
college or university to which you plan to transfer. This responsibility
includes knowing course requirements, number of credit hours accept-
ed and grade-point average required for admission. Bring a copy of the
catalog of your transfer institution to your advising appointment.
99
• You are expected to keep a copy of your degree plan, signed by both
yourself and your advisor. Each time you meet with an advisor, you
should bring your most recent degree plan for updating.
List of Advisors
Call for an advising appointment or more information. All numbers are area
code 361.

All records submitted for a student’s file become the property of the College
and a part of the student’s permanent record. High school transcripts, tran-
scripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar
documents are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution,
including the student.
Rights
You have certain rights under FERPA with respect to your education records.
They are:
1. The right to inspect and review your education records within 45 days
of the day the College receives a request for access. You should submit
to the registrar, dean, department chairperson, or other appropriate
official, written requests that identify the record(s) you wish to inspect.
The College official will make arrangements for access and notify you
of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records
are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was
submitted, that official will advise you of the correct official to whom
the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of your education records that you
believe is inaccurate or misleading. If upon review you desire to chal-
lenge any portion of your records, you should contact the Registrar.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits
103
disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legiti-
mate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by
the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or
support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and
health staff). A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the
official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibility.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education con-
cerning alleged failures by Del Mar College to comply with the require-
ments of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers
FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of
Education, 600 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605.

request that any or all of the directory information not be released.

is made by you in the Registrar’s Office- on the prescribed form no earlier than
the first day of registration and no later than the 12th class day in a semester or
fourth class day in a summer term.
This restriction of consent remains in effect until revoked by you, or until you

Discipline
A. Breaches of Conduct
The College regards the following as types of misconduct which, if established,
will result in appropriate disciplinary action:

suspension from the College, subject to a disciplinary hearing.
• Participation in hazing, in contravention of the Texas Education Code,
Section 4.51 to 1.58, inclusive.
• Use, distribution or possession of alcoholic beverages, dangerous drugs,

105
trative or service functions of the College to include social-educational

B. Disciplinary Action
Any one or more of the following disciplinary actions may be imposed by the

• Loss of privileges.
• Removal from elective or appointive office.
• Loss of such other privileges which may be consistent with the offense
committed, and the rehabilitation of the student.

for a specified period of time. The violation of the terms of disciplinary
probation or the infraction of any College rule during the disciplinary
action will result in automatic suspension.
• Suspension from the College for a definite period of time.
• Expulsion from the College.
Suspension or expulsion from the College will require that the student be afforded
a hearing to present their side of the incident or action prior to the administra-
tive suspension or expulsion decision. A student may be suspended or expelled
prior to a hearing when there is imminent danger to the student or another
individual on campus.
Student Complaints
Procedures for student complaints against the College have been set forth in
writing and are included in the Board of Regents Policy Manual. The Dean of
Student Engagement and Retention is responsible for coordinating the process-
ing of student complaints.
The Student Complaint Policy is based on the belief that such complaints are best
resolved at the level closest to the issue that led to the complaint. Resolutions to
such complaints must be reached through the participation of all parties involved
in the issue that led to the complaint. All procedures developed in relation to
this policy will be applied in an equitable and nondiscriminatory manner and
will protect the rights of all parties.
• Non-Academic Complaint - The Non-Academic Complaint is a com-
plaint by a student which does not involve grades or any academic
issues.
106
• General Academic (Non-Grade) Complaint - The General Academic
Non-Grade Complaint is a complaint by a student who has any aca-
demic disagreement not directly related to the assignment of a grade(s).
• Grade Appeals - The evaluation of academic work is the prerogative of
the instructor and the rules for determining final course grade should
be established by the instructor and provided to the students in an
electronic or printed course syllabus at the beginning of the semester.
A student who believes grounds exist for the appeal of a final grade
must first consult with the instructor. If the appeal cannot be resolved, a
student may proceed to the grade appeal process.
A student with a complaint against another student should consult with the
Dean of Student Engagement and Retention on the proper procedure to follow.
Responsibility and Liability Insurance
It is your responsibility to carry personal health and/or minor medical insur-
ance. The Office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention has several
companies’ brochures available; however, the College does not promote one
company’s product over another.
Activities in occupational classes and programs may expose you to more than the
usual degree of responsibility and liability. Del Mar College is not liable for injuries
sustained on campus, according to state statute. Health sciences, cosmetology,
criminal justice, law enforcement, fire science, emergency medical services and
occupational safety and health students may be required to carry professional
liability insurance in addition to personal medical insurance.
Policies
Major College policies can directly affect you. So, it’s important to become fa-
miliar with the following:
Discrimination and Harassment Policy for Students
Del Mar College, in its continuing effort to seek equity in education and in sup-
port of federal and state anti-discrimination legislation, provides a complaint
procedure for the prompt and equitable investigation and resolution of complaints
of unlawful discrimination or harassment of students based on their race, color,
national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender, identity/transgen-
der status, sexual orientation), age, disability, veteran or military status. This
complaint procedure also constitutes the grievance procedure for complaints
alleging unlawful sex discrimination required under Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972.
The Discrimination and Harassment Complaint procedure provides a process
through which the College may receive, respond to, and prevent incidents of
alleged discrimination and/or harassment (includes sexual harassment).
Students who wish to submit complaints of discrimination or harassment should
contact the District Student Complaint Coordinator.
Point of Contact: District Student Complaint Coordinator for student com-
plaints of discrimination or sexual harassment.

Policy Prohibiting Sexual Violence
Del Mar College establishes this policy and related procedures in its continuing
effort to seek equity in education and employment, and consistent with its legal
responsibility and authority to take measures to address and prevent sexual vio-
lence, as required by Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1964, as amended,
and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act (The “Clery Act”), as amended.
This policy is intended to inform students and employes of their rights if they
are subjected to sexual violence, including the complaint procedures and support
services that a survivor of sexual violence can access. This policy is also intended
to inform students and employees of their responsibilities if they are aware that
sexual violence has occurred to a Del Mar College student or employee.
Del Mar College (the “College”) will not tolerate and strictly prohibits sexual
violence, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalk-
ing. The College will act to protect its students and employees from incidents
of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking committed by
employees, students or outside third parties.
This policy applies to and may be used by all students and employees, regard-
less of gender, sexual orientation or gender identity, to report incidents of sexual
violence, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking
occurring on or off campus.
For assistance with filing a complaint of sexual violence through College com-
plaint procedures, obtaining assistance with accessing law enforcement and
confidential counseling, emotional support and immediate emergency services,
if not already accessed, students should contact the Dean of Student Engagement
and Retention. Employees should contact the Director of Human Resources for
the same assistance. In addition to contact information for the Dean of Student
Engagement and Retention and the Director of Human Resources, the following
contacts are for campus and local advocacy, counseling, health, mental health
and legal assistance services.

Smoking Policy
Del Mar College will comply with Board Policy B5.39 Smoking Control and sub-
sequent local, state and federal requirements, which prohibits the use of tobacco,
E-cigarettes, vaping pens and any other related products and devices by any
employee, student, or visitor on all premises owned, rented, leased, or super-
vised by the College District, including all College District facilities, buildings,
and grounds. In order to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of
employees, students, and the public, Del Mar College will provide a smoke and
tobacco free environment. This prohibition applies to property owned by others
that the College District uses by agreement, and further applies to all District
vehicles. All members of the Del Mar College community to observe the provi-
sions and comply with the spirit and intent of this policy.
Drug and Alcohol Policy
Del Mar College is committed to working to maintain a safe, healthy, lawful and
productive working and educational environment for all employees and students.
Studies have shown that use of illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol increases the
potential for accidents, absenteeism, tardiness, unsatisfactory performance, inef-
ficiency, poor employee morale and damage to the College’s reputation.
The intent of this policy is to make Del Mar College a better place to study and
work through upgrading the mental and physical health of the total College
community. It acknowledges the freedom of choice for those individuals who
require or seek information relative to Drug/Alcohol Abuse.
A. Definition of Legal Drugs
• A “legal drug” is a prescribed drug or over-the-counter drug which
has been legally obtained and is being legally used for the purpose
for which it was prescribed or manufactured.
B. Definition of Illegal Drugs
• An “illegal drug” is any drug or controlled substance which is (l) not
legally obtainable or (2) is legally obtainable but was not legally ob-
tained. The term “illegal drug” includes all illegal drugs, dangerous
drugs and controlled substances defined and listed in Articles 4476-14
and 4476-15 (Texas Controlled Substances Act) Vernon’s Texas Civil
Statutes. Marijuana, hashish, cocaine, PCP, LSD, heroin, Dilaudid,
Quaaludes, steroids and methamphetamine are only a few of the
dangerous drugs or controlled substances which are included within
such terms.
• This policy applies to all students and employees of Del Mar College,
as well as College visitors, contractors and all other persons occupying
space in/on conveyances, offices, buildings, facilities, or grounds over
which Del Mar College has custody and control, including, but not
limited to, rentals and leasing of auditorium and classroom spaces.
• This policy does not cancel or supersede other laws, orders, instructions,
or regulations which make the use, possession and/or distribution
of dangerous drugs and controlled substances illegal.
• When personal or behavioral problems begin to affect a student’s
academic performance, and this appears to be the result of drug or
alcohol abuse, the individual may be referred to the College Counseling
Center for information on drugs/alcohol and/or to local community
109
professionals. The student shall be responsible for any cost and/or fees
incurred for professional services. Information concerning diagnosis,
treatment and medical records will be kept strictly confidential.
• It is recognized that a person’s job performance or academic studies
may be affected by persons in the employee’s or student’s family
who have alcohol, drug, or other emotional or behavioral problems.
Therefore, the College will offer information services to these family
members, but accepts no further responsibility.
• Use, distribution, or possession of alcoholic beverages, dangerous
drugs, or controlled substances while on College property or at any
authorized activity sponsored by or for any College-related organiza-
tion, whether on or off campus, is subject to disciplinary action.
AIDS Policy
Del Mar College recognizes that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
and HIV-related conditions such as AIDS-Related Complex (ARC) pose significant
issues in an academic setting.
Because of the College’s commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe campus
environment, the AIDS policy and other procedures emphasize the education
of employees and students concerning AIDS and the management of each case
of AIDS individually with sensitivity, flexibility and concern for the affected
individual as well as other employees and students.
You may obtain educational pamphlets on AIDS at the Office of the Dean of
Student Engagement and Retention, or the Office of Student Leadership and
Campus Life and the Student Enrollment Center in the Harvin Student Center
(East Campus) or the Coleman Center (West Campus). These pamphlets were
developed by the Texas Department of Health.
Del Mar College, in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy
Act of l974, shall not give specific or detailed information concerning complaints
or diagnosis without the expressed written consent of the affected student or
employee.
You will not be denied enrollment or the right to attend classes or participate in
College functions solely on the basis of diagnosis or suspicion of having HIV,
AIDS, or ARC. If a physician’s evaluation demonstrates that you are unable to
perform academically or that continued attendance presents a health or safety
risk to yourself or others, the administration will make a decision solely on such
medical evaluation about continuation of enrollment.

Additional Immunizations
Senate Bill 1517 (effective Fall 1991) gives Texas institutions of higher education
the option of requiring you to prove that you have been adequately immunized for
diphtheria, rubeola, rubella, mumps, tetanus and poliomyelitis prior to admission.
The consequences of not being fully immunized are severe. An outbreak of any
of these diseases can have a devastating impact on the campus community.
Immunization is an integral part of preventive health care. Therefore, Del Mar
College recommends that you be fully vaccinated prior to enrollment and that
preventive vaccinations be taken when required.
If you are majoring in the health care fields, you must provide documented proof
that you have been fully immunized.
For additional immunization information, you are encouraged to contact your
family physician, the county health department, or the Immunization Division
of the Texas Department of Health.

Bacterial Meningitis Information
This information is being provided to all college students in the state of Texas.
Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress
extremely fast - so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes
that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis
can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year,
including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college
students every year.
There is a treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems
or disabilities.
What are the symptoms?
• High fever
• Rash or purple patches on skin
• Light sensitivity
• Confusion and sleepiness
• Lethargy
• Severe headache
• Vomiting
• Stiff neck
• Nausea
• Seizures
There may be a rash of tiny, red-purple spots caused by bleeding under the skin.
These can occur anywhere on the body.
The more symptoms, the higher the risk, so when these symptoms appear, seek
immediate medical attention.
How is bacterial meningitis diagnosed?
• Diagnosis is made by a medical provider and is usually based on a com-
bination of clinical symptoms and laboratory results from spinal fluid
and blood tests.
• Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve the likelihood of
recovery.
How is the disease transmitted?
• The disease is transmitted when people exchange saliva (such as by
kissing, or by sharing drinking containers, utensils, cigarettes, tooth-
brushes, etc.) or come in contact with respiratory or throat secretions.
How do you increase your risk of getting bacterial meningitis?
• Exposure to saliva by sharing cigarettes, water bottles, eating utensils,
food, kissing, etc.
• Living in close conditions (such as sharing a room/suite in a dorm or
group home).
What are the possible consequences of the disease?
• Death (in 8 to 24 hours)
• Permanent brain damage
113
• Kidney failure
• Learning disability
• Hearing loss, blindness
• Limb damage (fingers, toes, arms, legs) that requires amputation
• Gangrene
• Coma
• Convulsions
Can the disease be treated?
• Antibiotic treatment, if received early, can save lives and chances of
recovery are increased. However permanent disability or death can still
occur.
• Vaccinations are available and should be considered for:
• Those living in close quarters
• College students 29 years old or younger
• Vaccinations are effective against four of the five most common bacte-
rial types that cause 70 percent of the disease in the U.S. (but does not
protect against all types of meningitis).
• Vaccinations take seven to 10 days to become effective, with protection
lasting three to five years.
• The cost of vaccine varies, so check with your health care provider.
• Vaccination is very safe - most common side effects are redness and
minor pain at injection site for up to two days.
• Vaccination is available at your health care provider.
How can I find out more information?
• Contact your own health care provider.
• Contact your local or regional health department.

blue pedestals, may be used to request help during an emergency, to request
personal escorts, or for any assistance or information needed. The call boxes are
located on both the East and West Campuses, as well as the Del Mar College

Crime Statistics
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 requires educational
institutions to keep and to report statistics of certain crimes occurring on campus
which are reported to campus authorities during the most current year. These
statistics are available in the Office of the Dean of Student Engagement and Re-
tention in the Harvin Student Center on the East Campus, or in the Safety Office
in the Maintenance Building on the East Campus. Information is also available
at www.delmar.edu/Disclosure.aspx.
Parking
Parking can be a challenge. This is true at other colleges as well. Del Mar College
has developed regulations for the purposes of:
• proper identification of vehicles of persons who have legitimate busi-
ness with the College,
• to ensure safety/notification of students/faculty and other persons in
an emergency,
• to provide orderly parking, traffic and use of parking facilities,
• to provide for the purchase and issuance of vehicle identification per-
mits,
• to ensure pedestrian safety, and
• to provide for enforcement in the event of violation.
The operation of a motor vehicle on Del Mar College property is governed by
College policies and regulations.
The fact that a violation notice is not issued when a violation occurs does not
115
imply that the regulation or rule is not in effect. Each operator is responsible for
knowing and following the parking rules and regulations.
Campus Security has been charged with the authority to enforce these regulations,
including the right to tow vehicles for specific violations and repeat violators.
The owner or operator of a towed vehicle is responsible for the cost of towing
and storage fees in addition to any other fines.
Proof that a parking or traffic control device, sign, signal, or marking was in
place at any location on the campus shall constitute prima facie evidence that it
was official and was installed under proper authority by College, city, state and
federal guidelines.
The College assumes no responsibility for any vehicle or its content while the
vehicle is parked or operated on College property. All vehicle operators should
lock or otherwise secure their vehicles when parked on any campus of Del Mar
College.
Definitions
For the purpose of these parking and traffic regulations, the following terms
are defined:
Abandoned Vehicle - a motor vehicle, bicycle, or other conveyance parked on
Del Mar College property for more than three days without being moved
DMC - Del Mar College
Campus - all property owned or controlled by Del Mar College
College - Del Mar College
Citation - Notification issued by a Corpus Christi police officer, which may be
written to any vehicle found in violation of state law or city ordinances on DMC
property
Parking for Disabled Individuals - spaces or areas reserved for any disabled
individual who has an appropriate (placard) hang tag or license plate from the
County Tax Assessor’s Office

Parking Regulations
Registration of Vehicles
All vehicles parked on campus at any time must display (on rear windshield,
passenger side) a Vehicle Identification Permit except for vehicles belonging to
visitors during registration periods or one-day visits.
Students are not currently assessed a parking registration fee. The College retains
the option to assess a parking registration fee for students in the future.
Procurement of a Vehicle Identification Permit by students or employees with
non-reserved parking does not guarantee a specified parking space. Each driver
is responsible for finding a legal parking space. Inability to locate a parking space
is not an excuse for violating parking regulations.
A Vehicle Identification Permit will not be issued to any person having unpaid
violation charges until full payment is made at the Business Office.
A Vehicle Identification Permit may not be purchased for or displayed by an
individual ineligible to receive the permit. The College may suspend for a period
of one year the parking privileges of individuals who violate this regulation.
Vehicle Identification Permits
Any person attending Del Mar College who is not employed by the College is
eligible for a student Vehicle Identification Permit. Student workers may receive
only student Vehicle Identification Permit.
The process by which a student receives a Vehicle Identification Permit is as follows:
1. The student completes the appropriate College parking registration
card.
2. The student submits the card to Campus Security.
3. Campus Security issues a Vehicle Identification Permit to the student.
Parking for Disabled Persons
Del Mar College will follow state law regarding parking for disabled persons.
Students, faculty and staff who have qualified and obtained a license plate or
placard reflecting disability from the County Tax Assessor’s Office will be is-
sued a non-reserved Vehicle Identification Permit. Those individuals may park
in any parking space for disabled persons as long as their license plate reflects
disabled status or their placard reflecting disability is hanging in their vehicle
and clearly visible.
117
Enforcement
Policy and Procedures
All laws of the State of Texas, ordinances of the applicable municipality and rules
and regulations of Del Mar College are in effect on the campuses 24 hours a day.
The campus speed limit, on both the East and West Campus, is 10 miles per hour.
Special temporary parking arrangements must be made through the Director of
Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management.
Reserved spaces, whether by designated “Reserved” signs or reserved by Campus
Security for special events, will be enforced.
Traffic and Parking Notices
Campus Security may issue two types of notification for violations of parking
and traffic regulations.
1. Del Mar College Violation Notices - subject to College fines and a right
of students to appeal within the College as defined in the Appeals of
Violations or Impound Notices section.
2. Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) Citations - CCPD officers
may write citations to any vehicle found in violation of state law or city
ordinances on DMC property.
Penalties
In addition to fees for parking or traffic violations, parking privileges may be
suspended for a period of up to one year for habitual violators. The vehicles
of habitual violators may also be towed without notice at the expense of the
vehicle owner. Suspension of parking privileges will be decided by the Direc-
tor of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management and/or the Dean
of Student Engagement and Retention, after reviewing recommendations from
Campus Security.
A person in whose name an unpaid violation exists and no appeal is pending,
shall be barred from enrollment in a subsequent semester until fines are paid.
Transcripts and refunds shall also be withheld by the Business Office from any
person in whose name an unpaid violation charge exists and no appeal is pending.
In addition to the above-mentioned penalties, the Business Office will send a
letter to students who receive a violation notice and no appeal is pending, to
remind them to pay their fines.

Violation Notices
College violation notices described in these regulations will result in charges
being assessed in accordance with the following schedule:
Warning..........................................................................................................$ 0
No Parking Permit Displayed...................................................................$ 10
Not a Designated Parking Area................................................................$ 10
Visitor Parking Only...................................................................................$ 10

All charges are subject to change without notice. Receiving four tickets for any
violation will result in vehicle being immediately towed at owner’s expense. Ex-
cept as noted above, violation notices will be issued in cases where traffic can be
rerouted or vehicle operators can be immediately located to move their vehicle.
In all other cases, vehicles will be towed and ticketed.
The fine rate is set by the College for administrative violations. However, cita-
tions issued by the Corpus Christi Police Department and/or Corpus Christi Fire
Department will result in fines decreed by the courts. Multiple violations can be
alleged on the same Violation Notice. Charges will be assessed for each violation.
Violation Notice Payments
Payments must be made within 30 days of the date the Violation Notice was issued.
Payments may be made at the Business Office, Harvin Student Center at Del Mar
College East or the Coleman Center at Del Mar College West during business hours.
Payments not made within 30 days will result in a hold being placed against
enrollment in a subsequent semester, transcripts or refunds. It may also result in
suspension of parking privileges.
Appeals by students must be filed with the Student Government Association
within 10 working days of the date Violation Notice was issued. Students must
file a written petition for a hearing in the Harvin Student Center - East Campus,
Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life, Room 105; or Room 106 at the
Coleman Center - West Campus.
If the student has the same family name or home address as the registered owner
of a vehicle for which a Violation Notice has been issued, the Violation Notice and
accompanying violation charges will be recorded in the student’s name.
Unpaid charges for parking violations are recorded in either:
• the name of the person who previously purchased a parking permit; or
• the name of the purchaser of the permit displayed; or
• the name of the person who has previously paid violation charges
on the vehicle; or
• the name of the owner or driver.
Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds
A Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) appointed by the Dean of Student Engagement
and Retention helps assure fairness in the issuance of parking Violation Notices and
vehicle impounds. The findings of the SJC are final.
A person who receives a Violation Notice, or whose vehicle has been impounded, may
request an appeal. The appeal is handled through the Student Government Associa-
tion (SGA). If the Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) finds a vehicle was improperly
impounded, the Violation Notice/Citation and towing/impounding expenses incurred
by the individual whose vehicle was impounded will be reimbursed by the College.
All requests for appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the issuance of the
Violation Notice. The Violation Notice or a copy of the notice must be attached to the
appeal form. A person who fails to file the request within this time period waives the
right to appeal. Appeals for which 10-day deadline falls within the winter break shall
carry over into the beginning of the spring semester.
The appeals committee may summon the individual who issued the Violation Notice
or performed the vehicle impound if he/she is available to assist the committee.
All appeals will be heard within 15 working days of the date an appeal is requested.
120
Appeals for which the 15-working-day deadline falls within the winter break shall
carry over into the beginning of the spring semester.
Motorcycle, Motor Scooter and Moped Parking Regulations
In accordance with Texas law, operators of motorcycles, motor scooters and mopeds
shall be granted all the rights and shall be subject to all the laws and duties applicable to
the driver of a motor vehicle while on any DMC campus. Motorcycles, motor scooters,
or mopeds must park in legal, non-reserved parking spaces (unless authorized to do
so) or within an area designated for these types of vehicles. Any of these vehicles found
parked illegally and creating a potential safety hazard may be impounded or cited.
Bicycles/Skateboards and Other Non-Motorized Devices
The following requirements apply to bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, roller-
blades, longboards and all other non-motorized transportation devices exclud-
ing disability-related (i.e., wheel chairs) or emergency response devices. The
sidewalk is a pedestrian right of way and operators of all devices must yield
to pedestrians when on or crossing a sidewalk. Non-motorized transportation
devices may not be used inside any building, and parking of bicycles must be
restricted to designated area or bicycles racks.
Operators of all non-motorized transportation devices do so at their own risk
and liability. Helmets and other personal safety equipment are strongly recom-
mended for those using non-motorized transportation devices on campus. The
use of non-motorized transportation device in an unsafe manner and/or trick
riding is prohibited. This includes, but not limited to, riding on stairs, walls, rails,
benches and other structures, as well as operating the device at an unsafe speed.
Failure to follow these requirements may result in disciplinary actions in accor-
dance with B7.13.3 Non-Scholastic Student Conduct Policy, which can be found
in the Del Mar College website (www.delmar.edu/policymanual).
Summary
Your conduct and safety are a priority at Del Mar.

CORE CURRICULUM
General Education and Core

Curriculum Philosophy and Rationale
General Education Competencies
The General Education Competencies at Del Mar College inform the educational
experiences of all Associate Degree Graduates. All graduates will be able to
demonstrate the following competencies: Critical Thinking, Communication,
Empirical and Quantitative Skills, Teamwork, Personal Responsibility and
Social Responsibility.
General Education Requirements

Support for the development of these competencies is located in the curriculum
requirements for successful completion of the Associate in Arts (AA), Associate
in Science (AS), Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) and the Associate of Applied
Science (AAS) degrees.
AA, AS, AAT
The General Degree requirements for all transfer degrees at Del Mar College
are prescribed by the core curriculum guidelines set forth by the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board. Texas law requires that each public college and
university identify and requires a core curriculum of 42 credits for its degrees
designed to transfer. In addition, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
has prescribed eight (8) Foundational Component Areas and a Component Area
Option, with a specified number of credits for each.
A student who completes 42-hour core curriculum at Del Mar College may transfer
the block of courses to any other Texas public college. That college must count
it for their core curriculum. Students who do not complete the entire 42-hour
core, but complete the requirements for one or more Foundational Component
Areas, may transfer those courses and will receive credit for each of the courses
transferred. Students should consult with their advisors to ensure that the core
curriculum courses they take are correct for their degree plan and for the major
at the college or university to which they intend to transfer.
The core curriculum supports the General Education Competencies of Del Mar
College as it is structured to develop competencies in critical thinking, commu-
nication, empirical and quantitative skills, teamwork, personal responsibility and
social responsibility. The core curriculum is further designed to give students
breadth of knowledge in the liberal arts (multidisciplinary studies) and to promote
critical thinking skills that are fundamental to higher education.
Through the Texas Core Curriculum, students will gain a foundation of knowl-
edge of human cultures and the physical and natural world, develop principles
of personal and social responsibility for living in a diverse world, and advance
intellectual and practical skills that are essential for all learning.
NOTE: Core courses that have a four digit course number beginning with a
number “2” are sophomore-level courses.

The certification programs in health sciences are designed:

• to provide educational opportunities to students who desire em-
ployment in health or health-related facilities upon attainment of a
certificate;
• to provide students the opportunity to build upon their earned cer-
tificate and complete an Associate in Applied Science degree.
The Associate in Applied Science degree programs in the health sciences
are designed
• to provide educational opportunities to high school or General
Education Development (GED) graduates who desire to enter health
programs leading to the associate degree;
• to provide the first two years of education leading to the bachelor’s
degree in health fields.
If students intend to continue education at another institution, they should
carefully relate these programs to those at the college to which they plan
to transfer. Prospective students should consult with program advisor for
specific information.
158
Accreditation and Approval
Programs are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools as listed earlier in this catalog, and all are approved by the Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board, Community College and Technical
Institutes Division. Specific programs are approved by the professional ac-
crediting agency of each area; advisory committees and boards assist each
department in curricula and standards.
Liability
In accordance with clinical affiliation policies, all health sciences students
are required to purchase professional liability insurance in order to continue
their program of study. Students are responsible for their own health and
accident insurance.
Grades and Reports

Health sciences program grades are recorded as “A” (100-90); “B” (89-83);
“C” (82-75); “D” (74-70); “F” (below 70) failing; and “P” (all RNSG clinical
courses). A final grade of “D” or “F” in any course in the student’s major
in the health sciences programs will automatically remove a student from
eligibility to continue in that program until the unsatisfactory grades are
removed. Removal can be done only by readmission to the program.
A minimum grade of “C” is required for all health sciences students in all
courses to remain in good standing in all health sciences programs.
A student may be recommended for dismissal for failing grades, cheating,
inappropriate behavior or attitude, or unsatisfactory clinical performance
in any and all health sciences programs. An evaluation of unsatisfactory
(unsafe) clinical performance will supersede any classroom grade and will,
therefore, mean failure for the semester.

Medical Laboratory Technology

The Medical Laboratory Technology curriculum leads to the Associate in Applied
Science degree. Program objectives are:
• to educate medical laboratory technicians to perform routine clinical
laboratory tests as the primary analyst making specimen oriented decisions
and predetermined criteria, including a working knowledge of critical
values, and
• to educate medical laboratory technicians in accordance with the standards
of the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 5600
N. River Road Suite 720, Rosemont, IL 60018, (773) 714-8880.
The Medical Laboratory Technology program is offered in cooperation with local
pathologists, hospitals, the Community Blood Bank, and other health service
274
MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY
agencies. A committee made up of members representing the above agencies and
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi functions as advisors for the program.
Any or all of the general education courses listed in the curriculum may be taken
prior to admission to the program. However, MATH 1314 and either ENGL 1301,
or BIOL 2404 must be completed prior to the fall semester in which the student
enters the program. If an applicant elects to complete BIOL 2404 first, the applicant
must be eligible for ENGL 1301 prior to enrolling in the program. Students who
have failed any Medical Laboratory Technology course will be permitted to re-
enter the program, if space is available, one additional time.
In addition to the general admission requirements of the College and the health
sciences programs, in order to be considered for admission into the Medical
Laboratory Technology Program, the applicant must complete the following:
• submit a Medical Laboratory Technology Application and all required
admission documentation by July 15.
• submit all college transcripts showing evidence of completion or of current
enrollment in prerequisite courses
• have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 overall
• must be on college level in Reading, English, and Math
• must schedule an interview with the program director
Students who are able to complete prerequisite courses during the second summer
semester may be eligible for conditional acceptance. Students will be notified of
their admission status by August 1.
After program acceptance and prior to the first class day, the student must submit
a completed physical examination which includes the complete Hepatitis B series
and a current college transcript.
Prior to beginning clinicals, the student must pass a background check and drug
screen test, at student’s expense, for security clearance and continued enrollment
in the program. Students must also present or obtain a current card of completion
in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for Health Care Providers which must
be maintained while enrolled in any clinical course.
Opportunities for Certified Laboratory Assistants and Medical Laboratory
Technicians who wish to register for continuing education purposes may be
accepted on a space-available basis for MLT non-clinical courses. Interested
students should contact the MLT faculty for additional information.

The Associate in Applied Science degree in Sound Recording Technology (SRT)
prepares students for jobs that intersect the skills used in audio recording,
live sound, film/video and post-production, music retail and small business
ownership. This includes the operation of equipment and software used in studio
recording and mixing, live venue console operation and sound reinforcement
systems, non-linear video editing and skills needed to operate a personal business
related to the aforementioned fields. Strong emphasis is placed on technical ability
and knowledge, aural skills and listening, creative problem solving and musical
understanding. All SRT students must complete courses in music theory, piano,
ear training, directed business electives and an applied instrument (or voice) in
addition to the music technology specific classes. Students must pass all MUSI
and MUSC classes with a ‘C’ or better to advance to the next level or count as
a prerequisite.
The objectives for the Certificate in Sound Recording Business are more focused
than the full AAS and the coursework is streamlined. The curriculum for the
certificate directs the education of the student toward a small business ownership
in music; primarily a project-oriented recording studio or for knowledge relevant
for music retail.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Course Numbering System
All Del Mar College courses are identified with letter abbreviations followed
by a set of numbers. Courses are alphabetized in this catalog according to their
abbreviations; see the Index of Courses in the back of this Catalog to locate a
specific subject. The numbers in parentheses after the course title indicates the
number of lecture hours, lab hours and credits respectively. For example, CHEM
1411, General Inorganic Chemistry I (3-3-4) meets for three lecture hours and
three lab hours a week in a regular semester and awards four semester hours
of credit.
Four-Digit Numbers
Del Mar College has adopted the Texas Common Course Numbering System for
most academic courses and the Workforce Education Course Numbering System
for occupational and technical courses. These four-digit numbers were developed
to simplify the process of transferring credits from Del Mar College to other Texas
colleges and universities and to ensure the maximum credit possible for each
transfer student. These numbers are approved by the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board.
In the four-digit common course numbers the first digit usually indicates the level
of the course: 0 - developmental, 1 - freshman and 2 - sophomore level. Some
exceptions to this rule exist. (These courses will not count toward fulfilling the
18-hour sophomore requirement for graduation with an associate degree: MSCI
2371 and 2372) The second digit indicates the credit value in semester hours.
The third and fourth digits are used to differentiate courses or as an indicator
of course sequence.
Assessment Levels
The Del Mar College faculty has established specific Assessment Levels for every
college-level course. These levels refer to diagnosed abilities in the basic skills of
reading, writing and English, and mathematics. They are listed as prerequisite
Assessment Levels at the end of most course descriptions. Using Biology 1406.
Biological Concepts I - Cellular And Molecular as an example, R3, E3, M2 means
this course requires the student to have reading and English Assessment Levels
of 3 (college level), while mathematics assessment may be at level 2 (intermediate
developmental level). Level 1 denotes basic developmental level. If no R, E, or
M is listed, the assessment level defaults to Level 1.
Students must meet the assessment levels shown for each course either by
placement testing or by previous course work.
Scores
ACT and SAT scores more than five years old will not be used for course placement
in English, reading, or math.
Please refer to the Assessment Levels chart on the following page to see how
scores are used.
Texas Success Initiative (TSI)
All new students are required to take a placement test to determine if develop-
mental courses are needed in reading, writing and English and mathematics as
required by the Texas Success Initiative.
The purpose of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), mandated by the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board is to grant institutions of higher education the

Classes are offered Monday through Thursday in the morning and evening
based on demand. Prior to registration, new students must complete a
three-day orientation. ESL students must complete a one-on-one orien-
tation by appointment. There is no tuition or fees for any of the classes
offered through the program; however, continued enrollment is based
on each student’s ability to demonstrate steady, measurable academic
gains. This ensures maximum access to services for eligible students.

several months. Contact hours may range from 7 to 300 including clinical
experience. Special emphasis is given to training adults for entry-level
positions in areas of the health care industry that represent emerging
occupations, or occupations which are in demand in the greater Coastal
Bend area.

requirements, particularly where clinical experience is required. In addi-
