2019年2月25日

CCC会长博士. Matt Gotschall和UNK校长Doug Kristensen学生 who want to attend the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) but initially fall short of admissions requirements now will have a new option to enroll at 中央社区学院 and be a Loper.

A co-enrollment agreement signed today by CCC会长博士. Matt Gotschall (left) and UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen (right) creates a structured and supportive CCC-UNK通路 to help applicants, 否则谁会被拒绝入学, 符合UNK入学要求. 衔接课程的学生将受益, 特权和访问UNK学生服务, 设施和组织, and can live on campus while taking most of their classes at CCC.

The one-year Pathway leads to a student having the option to fully enroll at UNK to begin their second year, 项目成功完成后.

“Part of the strong partnership between UNK and CCC involves our institutions looking at ways to improve service to students and the region by increasing access to higher education and creatively removing barriers to enrollment,克里斯滕森说. “The goal of this program is to let students prove their ability and confidence in being successful in college, 并最终加强内布拉斯加州的劳动力.

“This is a ‘win’ for students, their families and Nebraska,克里斯滕森说. “The collaboration between community colleges and the university is a vital partnership for Nebraska.”

“UNK is an outstanding institution that has worked closely with CCC transfer students and faculty for decades,戈彻说. “This program is just another example of the progressive and collaborative nature of UNK and CCC in providing additional opportunities for student and community success in Central Nebraska.”

项目要求

The Pathway program is for first-time freshmen students under age 21 who apply to UNK but don’t meet university requirements and as a result would be denied admission. 否认可能有很多原因, 主要与学业准备和成绩有关, 反映在他们的GPA和/或ACT成绩上. Performance requirements for assured admission to UNK are in the core course requirements (math, 英语, 科学, language); and also class rank (upper half of high school class), ACT composite of 20 or higher or SAT combined score total of 1030 or higher from verbal and math sections.

As many as 150 students each year who are denied assured admission to UNK could take advantage of the new Pathway program and will be informed of the option via letter.

In the one-year (fall-spring) program participants will co-enroll at CCC and UNK and must maintain full-time academic standing (combined 12 credit hours per semester). They will enroll in a UNK class each semester – Learning Skills 103 in the fall and a General Studies 188 Portal in the spring. 在CCC, participants will enroll in three classes (nine credits) in highly transferable (general studies) courses such as speech, 英语和数学.

年内, students can live in UNK residents halls and UNK services such as the library, 学习共享, academic and career services and campus recreation facilities. They also can attend UNK athletic events and join UNK student organizations. They will be advised by professional staffs at both institutions.

“These students will be lucky enough to be both Central Raiders and Lopers at the same time, 汤姆·诺特说, UNK转移过渡副主任. “The collaboration on the student-support side within both our institutions will have positive impacts on students who desire a university experience and degree, and who need these two semesters to demonstrate and be confident in their academic ability. This option should be a good strategy for student success.”

CCC成功之道

Historically, students transferring from CCC are retained and graduate at high levels of success. 自2013年以来, of the average 70 students each fall who transfer from CCC to UNK, 89%的学生留到第二学期, 75%的人会持续到下一年. 平均成绩为3分.32个绩点. The number of CCC transfers to UNK is double the size of any other Nebraska 社区 College.

Pathway participants must complete coursework at a minimum grade of a C (2.0) at CCC to have those credits transferred to UNK and have a cumulative CCC GPA of 2.在春季学期结束的时候. UNK course credit will also be eligible for “reverse-transfer” to CCC. This means a student who completes enough credits for an associate degree while at UNK will be awarded that degree by CCC. 学生 in the program will fall under both institutions’ code of conduct. UNK will be the awarding institution for financial aid purposes.

该项目将于今年秋季开始招生.
