Student Risks and Responsibilities

Students should be aware that taking CITS courses carries risks. These are actual college courses that carry the same consequences of regular LSC courses and that will appear on an official college transcript. Additionally, since CITS students receive dual high school and college credit, failure to complete or pass a CITS course may result in failure to receive high school credit. This may result in a CITS student being unable to graduate with his or her class.

College in the Schools students agree to the following responsibilities and will:

  • Register within the registration timeline set by LSC.
  • Follow add/drop and withdraw policies set by LSC.
  • Adhere to all rules and regulations in the CITS handbook and the LSC student conduct policy.
  • Meet all course requirements.
  • Observe deadlines, examination times, and other policies and procedures as stated on the class syllabus.
  • Attend course meetings as attendance is an important factor for student success in LSC classes.
  • Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress each term by maintaining a 2.0 GPA and 67% cumulative completion rate.

Program Policy

Lake Superior College and partnering high schools work jointly to enroll students in the appropriate CITS courses and to ensure students meet CITS and LSC course requirements. High schools verify that all students who register for a CITS course meet class rank or GPA requirements, and both the high school and LSC CITS program verify that students meet course pre-requisites.

Students must follow the calendar for adding, dropping, and withdrawing from courses set by the Lake Superior College CITS program. Students who do not add a course during the registration window cannot be added at a later date and will not receive LSC credit. Students who do not contact their high school counselor about dropping or withdrawing from a course by the stated deadlines cannot be dropped or withdrawn at a later date, risk receiving an F grade, and risk violating SAP policies.

See the Petition to Policy webpage for information on petitioning for a late add/drop/withdraw.

Applicable NACEP Standards: Student Standards

S1 – Student 1
Registration and transcription policies and practices for concurrent enrollment students are consistent with those on campus.

S2 – Student 2
The concurrent enrollment program has a process to ensure students meet the course prerequisites of the college/university.

Procedure

  1. The CITS Director notifies the primary high school contact when the online registration form is live and ready for student registration.
  2. High schools may follow their own procedure for directing students to submit registrations via the online form, but high schools must ensure that students submitting a registration meet class ranking or GPA requirements.
  3. Upon receipt of registrations, the CITS Director individually checks whether each student meets course pre-requisites. High school contacts must share with the CITS Director the qualifying ACT, SAT, or MCA scores of students without qualifying GPA or class rank. If a student does not meet the pre-requisites, the CITS Director notifies the primary high school contact.
  4. LSC registers qualifying students for CITS courses listed on registration form.
  5. At the close of the registration window, the CITS Director sends course lists to the high school contact and/or high school faculty/instructor for verification. High schools are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of class rosters.
  6. By the verification deadline, the high school contact notifies the CITS Director via email if there are any errors. This is also the final date to notify the CITS Director via email if a student wishes to drop a course. Until high school staff contacts LSC, a student is still enrolled in the CITS course.
  7. If a student wishes to withdraw from a CITS course after the drop deadline but prior to the withdraw deadline, the high school contact notifies the CITS Director via email.

Grades

Program Policy

CITS teachers, in collaboration and consultation with LSC faculty mentors, assign a single whole letter grade for each student. CITS and LSC students do not receive plusses (+) or minuses (-) for final grades. To ensure parity of CITS course grading with regular LSC courses, CITS high school faculty/instructors and LSC liaisons will participate in grade norming or assessment comparison activities. Students may possibly receive different grades for their high school and college courses as LSC course guidelines may be more stringent than the high school guidelines.

Applicable NACEP Standards: Assessment Standard

A1 – Assessment 1
The college/university ensures concurrent enrollment students’ proficiency of learning outcomes is measured using comparable grading standards and assessment methods to on campus sections.

Procedure

  1. Throughout the course, CITS high school faculty/instructors and LSC liaisons communicate regarding grade norming and appropriate assessment, which the LSC liaison documents in the site visit, communication log, and/or course review form.
  2. Within 1 week of the last day of class, CITS high school faculty/instructors will post final whole grades in the Integrated Statewide Records System.
  3. The LSC Records and Registration Office will record the grades on an official LSC transcript.

Professional Development

Program Policy

The LSC CITS program continually seeks to offer pertinent, useful professional development opportunities for our partnering teachers, and per NACEP standards, all high school CITS faculty/instructors must participate in annual professional development opportunities offered by LSC or make alternative arrangements. Examples of LSC’s offerings include the Fall Meeting, the D2L Online Professional Development, and one-on-one training or professional development by an LSC faculty liaison. One-on-one meetings cannot take the place of other professional development unless documented. Alternative professional development may be allowable if the LSC faculty liaison approves, the teacher can provide evidence of attendance, and the CITS Director is provided with an explanation of the activity.

High School faculty/instructors who do not participate annually in professional development risk warning of non-compliance, and teachers unable to participate for two consecutive years must submit a plan for meeting the expectation the following year. Teachers unable to attend professional development offerings should let the CITS program know how staff can help teachers meet the expectation.

The information on the following pages does NOT take the place of the official policy and is NOT a complete list of all policies/procedures that students must adhere to. For all LSC policies, including financial aid and nondiscrimination policies, visit LSC’s policy page. LSC policies are governed by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, the Higher Learning Commission, and the Minnesota Department of Education.

Student Code of Conduct

The Lake Superior College Student Code of Conduct serves two purposes: the first purpose is to serve as a guide for student behavior; the second purpose is to outline the procedures to be followed, both by students and college officials, should violations of the Code occur. It is expected that all students will read the code available on the LSC website and will be responsible for knowing and abiding by its content.

Students found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct may face sanctions. For the procedure covering academic integrity, plagiarism, cheating, and more, visit LSC’s webpage concerning student conduct.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Lake Superior College requires that students maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, which includes a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and complete a minimum of 67% of cumulative registered credits. Evaluation for determining SAP does not begin until after the student has attempted his/her 5th credit. Grades of A, B, C, D, and F will be included in the GPA calculation, and grades of W will be included in completion rate calculation. See the LSC SAP page for more information.

After the first SAP violation, students will be on “warning” status and may still enroll in regular or CITS courses. Students who fail to return to good academic standing after the next term of enrollment are placed on academic suspension, which requires a one-semester sit-out period. After this period, students are eligible to re-enroll in classes at LSC on probation after meeting with an academic counselor and defining an “Academic Success Plan.” Students failing to meet the terms of probation upon re-enrollment will be suspended again for a minimum of one year at the end of their next term of attendance at LSC.

SAP violations may also affect students’ status when enrolling at another college or university.

Petition to Policy

Students seeking an exception to certain policies or procedures (such as a request to late add/drop/withdraw) may submit a completed Petition to Policy form for consideration. Petitions should be filed in the semester of occurrence, but typically be filed no later than one year following. Documentation of extenuating circumstances must be submitted for review past the one year deadline. Students will be notified of the decision via their LSC student email account within ten (10) working days of receipt of their request.
Students have the right to file an appeal to the designated administrator if their petition is denied. Appeals must be filed within ten (10) working days from the receipt of the petition decision. Appeal decisions will be communicated within ten (10) working days. Appeal decisions are final and binding.

For more information, visit the LSC Petitions and Appeals webpage.
