Important Safety Information for On-Campus Learning 

Getting Started with Cengage Unlimited

Please be prepared for a strict safety screening process when you arrive on campus. Be guided by the social distancing markers at the front entrance and be patient as we take your temperature and ask you some questions when you arrive. WCCC is working hard to ensure that our facility meets all the CDC requirements for social distancing and sanitiziation. We expect students to be guided by our safety protocols and to be compliant. Students should check their email for additional information that requires a response. No visitors will be permitted on campus during your course sessions; only those students enrolled and whose names are on the roster will be permitted on campus. 

Tutorial directions for accesssing MyWarren, activating Cengage Unlimited, and finding course syllabi were emailed to all Summer Session "B" students. Directions for activating Cengage Unlimted are also posted to the eLearning classrooms.  Digital textbook information and Syllabi will be available to students between July 3rd and the first day of class in the eLearning classrooms. The Cengage directions are the same for Summer Session "C" students.

Students who have questions, have problems accessing MyWarren, or who need assistance getting started should email Dr. Marianne Van Deursen: vandeursen@warren.edu 

We’ve made several changes to the Summer schedule. Here is what is different:

• Summer Session A  courses were moved to an online format and folded into Session D (June 1^st through July 24^th)
• Summer Session B dates were changed to July 6^th through August 28^th. 
• Summer Session C dates were changed to July 16^th through August 21^st
• Summer Session D (on-line only) remains June 1^st through July 24^th
  

Note: Evening courses were rescheduled to daytime hours; the College will not offer evening classes this summer.  Some courses were cancelled due to low enrollment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause or disruption of your summer plans.  Warren County Community College will continue to be guided by our state and local government leaders and public health agencies with respect to social distancing requirements. Any changes to summer or fall scheduling with be communicated with students. The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is important to us.

Summer registration is open now and current students can register through My Warren. Students who registered prior to these changes are still enrolled in the courses they choose (although some with different start and finish dates), with the exception of those classes that were cancelled. All previously/current registered summer students will be contacted this week by advisors in Student Services; please expect a telephone call and check your emails frequently.

Please check out your newly scheduled classes.

Fall registration will be open for all students.  We anticipate that classes will fill up quickly, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible. You will not need to pay for your fall classes until August.

Current students can register online through MyWarren. Watch this video tutorial for directions. 

New students should email JBeeler@warren.edu to set up an advising session and register for classes.

Having trouble registering? Do not worry: Our advisors have the ability to meet with students LIVE through the use of virtual meeting software and can do that when they call you or you can schedule a better day/time with them for that meeting. Students who wish to schedule a virtual appointment with an advisor can also email Jeremy Beeler at  jbeeler@warren.edu and he will have an advisor contact you immediately.

Reminder: Summer enrollment is also still open and some classes are already nearly filled. Summer is a great time to take classes and move along in your journey towards graduation faster!

Warren County Community College will continue to be guided by our state and local government leaders and public health agencies with respect to social distancing requirements. Any changes to summer or fall scheduling with be communicated with students. The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is important to us.

We look forward to speaking with all of you next week.

Modified Grading Policy Spring 2020

Warren County Community College is taking measures to ensure that our entire college community stays healthy during the COVID-19 Pandemic. As we continue to deliver instruction and services remotely, we must consider the process for student grading and degree completion. We will institute the following modifications to our final grading policies for the Spring 2020 semester. These temporary changes are in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and its effect on how we deliver instruction and measure student performance.

Here is a summary of those changes:

1. Students who attended classes through April 1^st have the following options:

1. If the student fails a course, they will automatically be assigned an Administrative Withdrawal grade (AW)
2. If the student earns a D, C, or C+, they can request a “P” grade rather than a letter grade. The “P” Grade will be calculated similar as a transfer credit and not be calculated in the GPA
3. A, B+, and B grades will remain the same

2. Students who stopped attending before April 1^st would receive an “XF” with the last date of attendance reported.
3. At the end of the Spring 2020 semester, students will temporarily see the actual grades they have earned on their transcript.
4. If letter grading adversely limits a student’s ability to meet the minimum GPA requirement for graduation, the College will waive the GPA requirement for graduation.
5. These temporary changes will not negatively impact a student’s academic standing. Students who fail to improve their Academic Standing via their actual grade, will have the same Academic Standing as at the end of Fall 2019.

I know that many of you have expressed concerns about your grades this semester and the impact they may have on your academic record. Please be assured that these modifications mean the following: Your academic record can only improve or stay the same at the end of this semester; it cannot decline.

It is our hope that these modifications will minimize the concerns and stress that students are facing due to the transition to an all online delivery.
