description. Requirements for admission to certain health related programs may be found under the Admission for Nursing and Allied
Health Programs section. Veterans should see Veterans Affairs.
General Admission Information
Hinds Community College does not discriminate in its admission of students on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, or disability.
Hinds Community College subscribes to an "open-door" policy in that all applicants having fulfilled admission requirements will be
considered for acceptance to the College. Requirements for admission are not restrictive but may vary for individual programs.
Therefore, admission to Hinds Community College does not necessarily mean admission to the program desired by the student.
Although applicants for admission must satisfy the general admission requirements, the College reserves the right to accept or reject an
applicant to a particular educational program.
The District Office of Admissions and Records is responsible for administering admission policies. All applicants are notified of their
admission status as required documents are received in the District Office of Admissions and Records.

Admission Requirements and Notes


All new and returning students who did not attend Hinds Community College (HCC) during the last regular semester must
submit a completed HCC Admission Application. Online application may be found at www.hindscc.edu.
Official Transcripts are those transcripts that come directly from the high school, college, or GED ® office to the Admissions
Office. These transcripts should be mailed or hand delivered in a sealed envelope and must not be stamped on the transcript
"issued to student." Official transcripts must bear the signature of the appropriate school official, the institution's seal, and a
graduation date, if applicable. The District Admissions and Records Office staff will assist you with obtaining Mississippi GED®
transcripts.
Note: All Transcripts from high schools, colleges or universities outside of the United States must be submitted to a
United States evaluation service for evaluation and translation. If the student would like to have some of this credit
applied to the degree at Hinds then the evaluation service will also need to provide course comparisons for the
appropriate courses. The final decision on acceptance of credit is made by the Registrar and is not guaranteed. The
evaluation service is at the expense of the student, and the evaluation service should mail the results directly to the
District Admissions and Records Office at Hinds Community College. Prospective international students requesting an
I-20 for study should have their evaluated transcripts sent to the attention of the International Student Office. See
College website for evaluation service contact information.




Official ACT/SAT Scores are those scores that are supplied on the official transcript, supplied electronically by the testing
company, or the original score results may be brought to the Admissions Office for copying by Admissions staff.
Admission note concerning: Completion of Admissions File
All admission requirements must be completed by the first day of regular classes. If this requirement is not met, the student
may be removed from all classes for that semester and may not receive a refund of fees or tuition.
Admission note concerning: Housing and Financial Aid
In order to live in a residence hall or receive financial aid, a student must have completed all admissions requirements.
Admission note concerning: Orientation Courses
Full-time students (both first-time and transfers) will be required to take the orientation class (LLS 1312 or RST 1312) the first
Fall or Spring semester they attend Hinds (unless a transfer student has successfully completed an orientation class at a
11
previous institution). Students who fail to earn a passing grade in Orientation must re-enroll every Fall or Spring term until
credit in the course is earned. Students who stop attending class will receive a grade of "F" for non-attendance.

Admission note concerning: Developmental Courses
As an open-door college, Hinds Community College admits some students who are not prepared for typical college work.
Such students are required to complete the developmental courses to correct background deficiencies before advancing to
college level work and will require additional time to complete an associate degree.
Admission for Academic and Technical Students
(Career program students see ADMISSION FOR CAREER PROGRAM STUDENTS.)
1. Beginning Freshman Students*
Beginning freshman students may be admitted on one of the following bases:
1.
2.
3.
Graduated high school with a regular diploma.

Submit official ACT scores (typically on the high school transcript). Students who have no ACT on file at the time of his/her
initial enrollment may substitute the Compass® placement tests (English, Mathematics, and Reading) to satisfy the general
admissions requirements of the College. (See Mandatory Placement Policy) This must be done prior to registering for classes.
No specific ACT or Compass® score is required for admittance into the college; however, certain programs of study (majors)
do have specific score requirements on the ACT for admission. High school students are highly encouraged to take the ACT
while in high school. The College will offer the residual ACT test to those students who wish to register with ACT scores, but
who have not taken the National ACT.
NOTE: Residual ACT scores are not transferable to other colleges, and Residual ACT scores from another college cannot be accepted
at Hinds. Both the National and Residual ACT may be used to make application for HCC ACT scholarships. Contact the Counseling
Office at the location you plan to attend for further information on taking the test.

agency and signed by an official of that agency, or an official transcript signed by a parent must be submitted with a notarized sworn
affidavit stating that the student's record is accurate and complete. Homeschooled students must satisfy all other admission

Admission for Non-Credit Students
In addition to the customary degree or certificate-seeking routes, persons may take courses at Hinds Community College for personal
enrichment, as students sponsored by employers or governmental groups, or for other such purposes. These courses are not for college
credit and are known as Non-Credit Courses. Those seeking to enroll in non-credit courses must complete a non-credit enrollment form
during the first class meeting so that a record can be established. No other admission requirements are necessary.
Scholastic Restart Policy
Scholastic Restart is a way for a student to have previously earned grades removed from consideration when computing the quality
point average (except for federally funded financial aid eligibility) or when assessing graduation status at Hinds Community College.
Before the student decides to participate in this program, he/she should be aware of the following requirements:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
A completed Declaration of Scholastic Restart Form must be submitted to the college Registrar.
A student may not have enrolled in college for a minimum of two academic years (academic year includes Fall semester,
Spring semester and Summer terms) preceding the petition for re-enrollment under Scholastic Restart.
Scholastic Restart may be declared only one time.
All hours attempted during the student's entire enrollment in the college will be considered when determining federally funded
financial aid eligibility. This includes grades of "W."
Scholastic Restart is honored at Hinds Community College and may not be recognized by other colleges/universities or
employers. Students should check with their chosen transfer college/university or employer to determine their academic status
upon completion of their studies at Hinds.
A re-entering student requesting Scholastic Restart may be provisionally approved but must complete a minimum of 12
semester hours with a quality point average of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) before being officially accepted into the program.
No courses or grades will be removed from a student's official transcript; however, notation will be made on the transcript as
to the Scholastic Restart. No work before that time will be used when computing quality point average or determining
graduation status at Hinds Community College. The work will be used for federally funded financial aid eligibility.
The Registrar is responsible for providing the necessary interpretations on questions not expressly answered in this policy.
Admission for Nursing and Allied Health Programs

Applicants for Nursing and Allied Health Programs must meet all General Admission Requirements of the College. In addition to the
general admission requirements, each program has health care related requirements and special program admission and progression
requirements as listed below. All admission documents for nursing and allied health programs should be submitted to the Nursing Allied

the standards are advised to contact the ADA counselor at (601)376.4803.
Health Care Related Requirements
Nursing and Allied Health students are required to adhere to the rules and regulations of the affiliating clinical agencies as well as Hinds
Community College rules and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to background record checks, clinical health requirements,
criminal background checks, and CPR certification. Specific information to meet the requirements will be provided through the College
Catalog, Nursing and Allied Health Student Manual, and program guidelines, rules, and regulations. Forms for complying with these
requirements will be provided by the program as a part of the orientation process. All requirements must be completed by the health
profession program's designated date. Students who have not met requirements will not be allowed to begin or progress in theory,
laboratory, or clinical courses. For students admitted to a new program, failure to submit the clinical health requirements on the due date
will result in loss of placement. For students who are continuing in a program, failure to submit clinical health requirements by the due
date will result in disruption in progression. Attendance guidelines will be enforced.
Background Records Check
Pursuant to MS statue 43-11-13, students in nursing and allied health programs must meet the requirements of clinical agencies
regarding background checks. Students must submit a background check, based on fingerprints, that confirms that the affiant has not

rape, sexual battery, sex offense listed in Section 45-33-23(f), Mississippi Code of 1972, child abuse, arson, grand larceny, burglary,
gratification of lust, aggravated assault, or felonious abuse and/or battery of a vulnerable adult.
The background check must have been completed prior to admission to a program of study or prior to clinical courses, as defined by the
program. Students who have a current background clearance processed through a Mississippi clinical agency and the Mississippi State
Department of Health may submit that documentation to the program chair/director. If a background clearance expires during a student's
program of study, the student must repeat the background check. Detailed information about the background check is available in the
Nursing and Allied Health Student Manual which is posted on the Health Related Professions page of the College
website: www.hindscc.edu.
Students will be subject to repeat a background records check based on clinical agency requirements, changes in the Mississippi law,
rules, or regulations, or any suspicion of criminal behavior. Students will also be screened through the Federal General Services
Administration Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) and the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General List of Excluded
Individuals/Entities (LEIE) as required by clinical agencies.
Students who have any eliminating background record will not be allowed admission to any nursing or allied health program. A student
may also be denied the ability to progress in a program of study based on eliminating background information.
Clinical Health Requirements
Students in nursing and allied health programs must meet the requirements of clinical agencies regarding health status. Each applicant
must submit a College Approved Health Form, completed and signed by a physician or nurse practitioner, confirming that the applicant
is of good health and possesses the required physical abilities to function satisfactorily within the particular educational program and

appointed by a proper court of Mississippi, in which case the residence becomes that of the guardian.
Residence of an Adult
The residence of an adult is that place where he is domiciled, that is the place where he actually, physically resides with the intention of
remaining there indefinitely or of returning there permanently when temporarily absent.
Moving of Parents from District or State
If the parents of a minor who is enrolled as a student at a community/junior college move their legal residence from the State of
Mississippi, the minor is immediately classified as an out-of-state student.
Resident Status of a Married Student
25
A married student may claim the residence status of the spouse, or may claim independent residence status under the same regulations
set forth above as any other adult.
Children of Parents who are Employed by the College
Minor children of parents who are members of the faculty or staff of any institution under the jurisdiction of the board of trustees of any
community/junior college may be classified as residents for the purpose of attendance at the institution where their parents are faculty or
staff members.
Military Personnel Assigned to Active Duty Stationed in District or State
Members of armed forces on extended active duty stationed within the State of Mississippi may be classified as residents for the
purpose of attendance of state supported institutions of higher learning and community/junior colleges of the State of Mississippi.
Resident status of such military personnel, who are not legal residents of Mississippi as defined under "legal residence of an adult," shall
terminate upon their reassignment for duty in the continental United States outside the State of Mississippi.
Children of Military Personnel
Resident status of children of members of the armed forces on extended active duty shall be that of the military parent for the purpose of
attending state supported community/junior colleges of the State of Mississippi during the time that their military parents are stationed
within the district or State of Mississippi and shall be continued through the time that military parents are stationed in an overseas area
with last duty assignments within the district or State of Mississippi, excepting temporary training assignments en route from Mississippi.
Resident status of minor children shall terminate upon reassignment under Permanent Change of Station Orders of their military parents
for duty in the continental United States outside the district or State of Mississippi, excepting temporary training assignments enroute
from Mississippi.
Certification of Residence of Military Personnel
A military person on active duty stationed at Hinds Community College or in Mississippi who wishes to avail him/herself or his/her
dependents of these provisions must submit a certificate from his or her military organization of assignment and its address (may be in
the letterhead) that the military member will be on active duty stationed in the district or in Mississippi on the date of registration at the
state supported community/junior college of the State of Mississippi; that the military member is not on transfer orders; and the signature
of the Commanding Officer, the Adjutant, or the Personnel Officer of the unit or assignment with signer's rank and title. A military
certificate must be presented to the Registrar of the state supported community/junior college of the State of Mississippi each semester
at or within ten days prior to registration each semester for the provisions hereof to be effective.
Register Under Proper Residence Status
The responsibility for registering under proper residence status is placed upon the student. In addition to any administrative action which
may be taken by governing authorities of the state-supported institutions of higher learning or community/junior colleges concerned, any
student who willfully presents false evidence as to his/her residence status shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof may be fined not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00).
Distance Learning
The College has been offering distance learning courses for a number of years. Offerings are growing each semester. These courses
are offered to those whose schedules and circumstances make it difficult to attend traditional classes and are designed for the student
who can work independently and discipline him/herself to keep up with the assigned material. Registration procedures are the same as
for traditional courses. If the online student lives more than 60 miles from a Hinds location, they can request online advising through the
eLearning webpage. Online courses have an additional $20 per credit hour charge. Online courses require that the student have
unlimited access to a computer, compatible software, and activate and use the college e-mail account. Students may view Distance
Learning here.
The online courses are offered in cooperation with the Mississippi Virtual Community College (MSVCC) giving the student access to
many courses from which to choose. For further information about Distance Learning, click here. Students can also call 601.857.3834 or
e-mail distancelearning@hindscc.edu. For information about Mississippi Virtual Community College courses visit
http://msvcc.squarespace.com.
26
The Office of Distance Learning is dedicated to providing online courses equal to traditional classes. In order to maintain integrity and
quality of online education, all students enrolled in Hinds Community College online courses will be required to take and pass at least
one (1) proctored exam in each course in order to pass that course. A government issued picture ID is required to take a proctored
exam to ensure compliance with our accrediting body's standards for identity verification.
Minimum Competencies for Online Students
A Hinds Community College student taking online courses through MSVCC should have a minimum level of computer competence to be
successful. Below is a list of minimum competencies expected before the student is allowed to register for an online class. A selfevaluation is available on the Hinds eLearning webpage under the BOSS Orientation for a student to assess his/her readiness for taking
distance learning courses. Additionally, minimum hardware requirements are listed on the Hinds eLearning page. Printed copies of the
following information will be available for counselors and advisors to give to students at registration.

Computer Requirements for Taking an Online Course
MSVCC students are required to own or have permanent access to a computer with an Internet connection. Students are welcome to
use open computer labs throughout the Hinds district but should not use this as their sole resource. Instructors will not accept excuses
in regard to computers or Internet service. For this reason, students should complete assignments prior to the deadline and always have
a backup computer plan. Minimum specifications for computers are listed below.

Advisement for Course Selection
Academic counselors and career-technical counselors assist students in course selection and educational planning. If a student wishes,
he or she may choose to be advised by a faculty member. The counselor or advisor will provide students with a plan of study which
records the classes students are advised to take while they are enrolled at Hinds. After the first semester of enrollment, students are not
required to see a counselor or advisor to register for future semesters. Students are encouraged, however, to seek advisement if they
change their program of study (major), do not successfully complete the courses for which they register, or have questions about their
programs of study.
Declaration of College Program or Major
Each student seeking credit through Hinds Community College will make a formal declaration of his/her program or college major during
the advising process.
Change of College Program/Major
A student who wishes to change his/her college program/major after their formal declaration should come to one of the college
counseling offices for an evaluation of previous completed course work and for course advisement for the new program. Students
should recognize that changing programs/majors could result in having completed courses that will not apply to the new program/major.
A student may ONLY change his/her program of study (major) during registration for the next semester of enrollment. The program
change will not begin until the next term of enrollment.
27
Veterans should be very careful when changing programs/majors because the change is also subject to counseling approval with the
Veterans Administration Regional Office.
Registration
Registration will be held at all locations of Hinds Community College. (See College Calendar for dates and times at each location.)
Students will be registered on a first come-first served basis. Before being allowed to register, students must have an application on file
in the District Office of Admissions and Records and must have English, math, and reading placement. First time students should
contact the Counseling Office of the location they plan to attend for course advising and scheduling. While returning students may
register online at My.Hinds, they may also see a counselor for advisement.
Students may pay all fees at the time of registration or they may be billed, but fees must be received in the Business Office on or before
the scheduled date set by the College, or have a payment plan in place with the business office, or have verification of awarded financial
aid. Failure to complete one of these steps will result in deletion of your class schedule. Students may check their account balance or
pay tuition and fees using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Debit card) at My.Hinds.
Before the start of classes, students who have registered, and are unable to attend classes may drop all classes through their My.Hinds
account or may contact the appropriate Counseling Office by email to be removed from classes.
REGISTRATION NOTICE

2.
Any class or section for which fewer than 10 students have registered is subject to cancellation without advance notice.
While every effort will be made to avoid them, instructor and/or room changes may be made without advance notice.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA)
Hinds Community College maintains certain policies and practices to assure compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (FERPA). While students are enrolled in high school, their parents typically "own" their educational records. However, once students
are enrolled in college, they become the owners of their personal educational records. FERPA affords students certain rights with
respect to these records. These rights include the following:
1.
The right to inspect and review their educational records within 45 days from the day HCC receives a request for access.
Students should submit to the Records Office written requests that identify the record(s) that they wish to inspect. A HCC
official from the District Office of Admissions and Records will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the
time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the District Office of Admissions and
Records, the Admissions and Records official shall coordinate with the appropriate office in order to insure that the requesting
student is able to view his or her educational record.
2. The right to request an amendment to their educational records if the student believes the records are inaccurate or
misleading. Students who wish to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate should write the HCC official responsible for
the record, clearly identify the part of the record that they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If HCC
decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, HCC will notify the student of the decision and advise the
student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the student when he or she is notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's educational records.
However, there are some exceptions in which FERPA authorizes disclosure without student consent.
One exception permits disclosure without consent to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a
person employed by HCC in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law
enforcement unit personnel); a person or company with whom HCC has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee (such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks). A school official who needs to review
an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility has a legitimate educational interest.
In addition, upon request, HCC may disclose educational records without consent to officials of another school in which a
student seeks to enroll.
4.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Hinds Community College to
comply with the requirements of FERPA.
The contact information of the Office that administers FERPA is as follows:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
28
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202- 8520
The contact information for the HCC office that administers FERPA is as follows:

Office of Admissions and Records
P.O. Box 1100
Raymond, MS 39154
Directory Information
Directory Information is information contained in a student's educational record that generally would not be considered harmful or an
invasion of privacy if disclosed. Under the terms of FERPA, Hinds Community College has established the following as directory
information:
A. Name, address, and telephone number
B. Classification (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.,)
C. Major (program of study)
D. Dates of attendance
E. Enrollment status (full or part-time)
F. Degrees earned
G. Honors received
H. Most recent educational agency or institution attended
I.
Photographic images
J. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
K. Weight and height of members of athletic teams
L. Employment information (full or part-time)
Directory information is considered public information and may be released without a student's consent. However, Hinds Community
College does not routinely release such information to third parties. A student may submit a Directory Information Restriction Request,
available at any campus admissions office and on the HCC website, to the District Office of Admissions and Records to withhold this
information. If a student submits a restriction request, his or her record will be noted "confidential," and no information will be released
without prior written consent.
Non-Directory Information
Non-directory Information is personally identifiable information such as grades, transcripts, grade point average (GPA), and
scholastic/academic standing, most of which is part of a student's educational record. Educational Records are those records directly
related to a student's scholastic performance and maintained by the institution. HCC does not release this information without written
authorization from the student, with the exceptions mentioned in #3 above. If a student wishes to have any personally identifiable
information regarding his or her educational record released, a Waiver of Rights to Privacy of Records form, available at any campus
admissions office and on the HCC website, must be completed by the student and returned to an admissions office.
Entrance and/or Placement Tests
NOTE: ALL TESTS REQUIRE A PHOTOGRAPH IDENTIFICATION
Hinds CC uses Compass® (by ACT), Residual ACT Assessment, and/or National ACT Assessment to place students in
appropriate courses. Academic, technical and career students must take one of these placement tests prior to registering for classes.
Placement test results assist the institution in advising, placing and admitting students in appropriate course levels that match their skills
and help students succeed. Students should contact the counseling office at the campus they plan to attend to schedule a test date or
secure more information about the tests. Compass® or Residual ACT testing is available for students who have been admitted or are in
the process of applying to Hinds Community College. The Compass® and Residual ACT cannot be transferred to other colleges, nor
does Hinds accept the Compass® or Residual ACT scores from other colleges. NOTE: Many scholarships are awarded based on ACT
Assessment scores (residual or National).
Academic and technical students who have a high school diploma or have passed the GED® may choose to fulfill the mandatory
placement requirement by taking Compass®. Compass® by ACT is a computerized placement test that measures skills in the areas of
Mathematics, Reading and Writing. These tests usually take a total of one to two hours to complete, results are immediate, and there is
29
no charge for the test. Students who have ACT scores may not need to test. For more information on Compass®, visit
www.act.org/compass.
Students who have taken the ACT:
Students who have taken the ACT, but wish to improve their placement levels may only attempt the Compass® placement test one time.
Compass® is divided into three individual tests. A student may choose to skip any of the three tests but will not be allowed another
opportunity to complete a test that was skipped. Testing must take place at least 12 calendar days before the first day of class. Students
taking the Compass® for initial placement and admission shall be given first priority to test.
Students who have not taken the ACT:
A student who has not taken the ACT may take the Compass® placement test twice. The second attempt must be one week or more
after the first testing date and the student should complete appropriate tutorial work prior to taking the second test. Testing must take
place at least 12 calendar days before the first day of class. A student will forfeit the second testing attempt if there are less than 12
calendar days before the start of classes for the semester. Test dates and times are available on the Hinds CC website here.
Career Students:
Career students, non-GED® and non-high school diploma, are required to take the Compass® placement test and earn minimum scores
in all three areas: 32 in Writing Skills (English), 62 in Reading, and 25 in Pre-Algebra/Number Skills. Some programs may require higher
scores for entry. Career students are urged to register early, should one or more retakes be necessary for admission. The testing
session must be at least one week after the first testing session. After two unsuccessful testing attempts, non-GED® and non-high
school graduates will be advised to enroll in the free GED® preparation classes at the college. Compass® test dates and times are
available at any HCC Counseling office or on the Hinds website here.
What students need to know and do prior to Compass®:
1.
Students must have an application on file in Admissions so scores can be entered into the system. This must be done before
a student can register.
2. The Compass® test is not timed. It usually takes one to two hours to complete.
3. Non-programmable calculators are allowed. Two calculators are available on the computer for student use.
4. Test results are available immediately following the test.
5. No cellular phones, pagers, timers, gum, candy, drinks, food, or tobacco products are allowed in the testing room.
6. Compass® scores are non-transferable to other colleges.
What students need to bring to the testing site:
1. A current valid government issued picture identification (driver's license, government ID or Passport).
2. An advising and scheduling ticket from the Office of Admissions.
Residual ACT Test Information (paper-pencil test):
Residual ACT testing is available for students who 1) are enrolled, 2) have been admitted or 3) are in the process of applying to
HCC. Please be aware of the following:
1.
The cost of the test is $40. Students must pre-register for a specific test date. The fee is non-refundable and reserves a place
for the originally scheduled test date and location only.
2. Current valid picture identification (issued by school, employer, city, state/federal agency) is required.
3. You must wait at least 60 calendar days between ACT test sessions (Residual and National) or your second set of scores will
be cancelled without a refund.
4. Non-programmable calculators are permitted.
5. This is a timed test that takes approximately 4 hours to complete.
6. Test scores for the Residual ACT Test are non-transferable.
National ACT Assessment Test Information:
National ACT Test scores are transferable to other institutions and are used for NCAA Athletic Eligibility. To register for the National
ACT, visit www.actstudent.org. Hinds Community College Jackson Academic Technical Center and Raymond Campus are test sites for
the National ACT test. The site code for Jackson ATC is 021770 and Raymond is 021980. Registration deadlines and further information
may be obtained from the ACT website.
General Educational Development Test (GED®):

Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS-V):
The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS-V) is a multiple choice test which is designed to provide an assessment of the nursing
school applicant's basic academic knowledge in Reading, Mathematics, Science and English and language use. The objectives
assessed on the TEAS-V exam are those which are deemed most appropriate and relevant to measure entry level skills and abilities of
nursing program applicants. Location of testing is in the District Adult Education Center, Raymond Campus (601.857.3650). Applicants
must preregister for the TEAS-V on the Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) website (www.atitesting.com). The fee for the test is

Practical Nursing program, contact the Admission Processor at 601.376.4812 or a counselor at the Nursing/Allied Health Center.
Mandatory Testing and Placement Procedure
Placement is mandatory for all degree seeking students whose declared program of study is academic or technical. Upon his/her first
registration at Hinds every student subject to mandatory placement must have complete ACT scores on file, or he/she must take
placement tests to determine if developmental courses are required for success in traditional college courses. ACT scores or placement
test results are used to determine if a student must enroll in one or more developmental courses, and if so, at what point he/she must
begin.
All such students are required to enroll initially in all prescribed developmental courses and must continue to enroll each semester in all
consecutive prescribed developmental courses. A student's developmental Mathematics prescription is fulfilled when he/she reaches the
first Math course required in his/her declared program of study. A student's developmental English prescription is fulfilled with the
successful completion of ENG 0123, and a student's Reading prescription is fulfilled with the successful completion of REA 0133.
All prescribed developmental courses must be satisfactorily completed with a grade of "C" or better. In unusual circumstances, a student
may score sufficiently high on the exit criteria to by-pass the next developmental course. In such cases, the student's placement level
will be entered into the College database to reflect the higher level; however, he/she will receive credit only for the developmental
course in which he/she originally enrolled for that term.
For initial placement purposes, the following ACT, ACT Compass® and/or Placement scores will be used to place students in the
following courses. See below for complete requirements about placement in Developmental Studies.

Developmental instruction is offered through the following courses: LLS 0113, LLS 0123; MAT 0123; REA 0123, REA 0133; ENG 0113,
ENG 0123. Based on ACT scores or placement tests, students are prescribed these courses to prepare them for success in traditional
college courses. For more information on testing, please refer to the Mandatory Testing and Placement Procedures section in this
catalog. Students who stop attending class or do not properly withdraw are subject to receiving a grade of "F" for non-attendance. (See
the Attendance Policy in this Catalog.) Developmental courses cannot be used as electives to meet graduation requirements.
Transitional Students:
In an effort to assist the college student who needs additional support to complete college level course work, the College requires
eligible students to participate in the Transitional Student Program. Transitional status applies to fall and spring terms only.
Transitional Students are those who meet all of the following conditions:
1. are full-time (12 or more semester hours) academic or technical students,
2. began their college studies during or after Summer 2004,
3. are developmental Level 1 or 2* (prescribed two or three developmental courses), and
4. have an ACT composite score of less than 18 or a SAT total score less than 870.
*See definition of Developmental Levels below. Additional placement testing (Compass®, ACT, etc.) and/or developmental courses
passed that move a student to Developmental Level 3 or out of developmental status also remove the student from Transitional status.
For advisement purposes, the student will see a college counselor/advisor who will help select courses appropriate to the student's
placement levels.
To move from Transitional status, a student must complete seven (7) or more semester hours with a minimum 2.0 term GPA. These
earned hours and GPA may be either by term or cumulative. Transitional Status is also removed when a student has successfully
completed all or all but one prescribed developmental subject.
Transitional Students are subject to the same Scholastic Standing regulations as non-transitional students. During the summer term,
students are not subject to Transitional Program guidelines; however, summer coursework does apply toward total hours earned and
cumulative GPA.
Developmental Courses and Levels are as follows:
Developmental Level 1
All academic and technical students with an ACT composite of 13 and below and/or placement in three development courses
must take the course sequences as listed below:

Student Guarantee Policy
Hinds Community College will guarantee to its academic graduates and other students who have met the requirements (up to a 64
credit hour transfer plan) the transferability of course credits to those Mississippi colleges or universities that cooperate in the

transferability apply as stated in previous agreements between community colleges and four-year colleges and universities.
3. The guarantee applies to courses included in the written transfer plan - which includes the institution to which the student will
transfer, the baccalaureate major and the degree sought, and the date such decision was made - which must be filed with the
appropriate official of the community college.
If a career or technical graduate is judged by his/her employer to be lacking in technical job skills identified as exit competencies for
his/her specific degree program, the graduate will be provided up to nine tuition-free credit hours of additional skill training by the
community college district under the conditions of the guarantee policy.
Special conditions which apply to the guarantee are as follows:
1.
2.
3.

Vicksburg Campus, Banks Building - 601.629.6806
Payment of Registration Expenses Required according to the date set by the College:
The payment of charges for tuition, fees, room, and board is part of the registration process. All fees are due according to the scheduled
date set by the college. Thus, Hinds requires each registered student to have completed one of the following steps:
1.
2.
Paid fees in full
Entered into a payment plan for the current outstanding account balance on My.Hinds. For log-in instructions, visit
www.hindscc.edu.
3. Have completed all financial aid forms and have financial aid award amount that can pay ALL outstanding fees.
FAILURE TO COMPLETE ONE OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN DELETION OF YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE! You will then have
to re-register for your classes which may result in inconvenient times, sections, or locations.
Student Deregistration Deadline Occurs during the Second Week of Traditional Classes:
All students who register after the payment deadline must make arrangements for payment of tuition, housing, and meals to complete
the registration process. Thus, Hinds requires each registered student to have completed one of the following steps by the end of the
second week of classes:
1.
2.
Paid fees in full
Entered into a payment plan for the current outstanding account balance on My.Hinds. For log-in instructions, visit
www.hindscc.edu.
3. Have completed all financial aid forms and have financial aid award amount that can pay ALL outstanding fees.
FAILURE TO COMPLETE ONE OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN DELETION OF YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE! IN ADDITION,
YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE TURNED OVER TO A THIRD PARTY COLLECTION AGENT.
Web Payment at My.Hinds on the College website at www.hindscc.edu:
My. Hinds allows students to use the latest technology to complete business transactions with the College at any time. Students may
check their account balances or pay tuition and various fees by using a credit or debit card. Parents must obtain the student's login ID
and password from their student to access this feature.
Method of Payment:
Payment of fees may be made on-line using Hinds Debit Card, American Express, Discover, Visa or MasterCard on My.Hinds. At each
campus you may visit the business office which accepts credit cards, money orders, travelers checks, paper checks (subject to approval
by Telecheck), and cash.
Payment Plan:
Hinds offers a tuition and fees payment plan which helps in budgeting college costs but requires financial planning by students and their
families. Full-time students and part-time students with more than 3 hours will qualify to enroll in the monthly payment plan which will
include the cost for tuition, fees, housing, and meals. The pending aid payment plan requires the students to be enrolled in at least 6
hours, a valid FAFSA (Pell grant application) on file but has not been awarded, and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students
37
are required to pay all previous term balances to complete the registration process. Students who elect to participate in the payment
plan must go to www.hindscc.edu on the College website to enroll and complete the necessary documents.
Once the monthly agreement is completed the student will be charged immediately a $25 set up fee (per semester non-refundable
service fee) along with the down-payment amount. Payments thereafter are processed on the 5th of the month and continue until
balance is paid in full. The pending aid agreement will be charged a $25 set-up fee along with the first scheduled payment on the 20th
of the month and continue until balance is paid in full.
Failure to make timely payments according to your agreement will result in the student's restriction from future class registration,
possibly having the account assigned to a collection agency, and non-release of transcripts.
Clearance of Obligations:
All financial or other obligations to the College must be cleared prior to the end of each semester or term. An outstanding balance for a
prior semester or term must be paid before the student will be allowed to register for subsequent semesters or terms. Transcripts will not
be issued if financial obligations have not been satisfied. Failure to meet financial obligations to the College could subject the student to
additional late payment charges, as well as collection costs.
Other Expenses that may be incurred:
In addition to registration expenses, expenses may be incurred by students during the semester. The following are examples of charges
that may be payable when incurred.
$40 Yearbook
$50-100 Parking Ticket
$50 per Semester Wellness/Fitness
$20 Replacement Key
$10 Replacement Campus ID Badge
$30 Returned Check Fee
$50 Behavior Fine (minimum)
$300 Bus Transportation per semester (Utica only)
$21 Replacement Hinds Debit Card
$25 Deferred Payment Plan Set-up Fee
$190 Commuter Meal Ticket-5 day,1 meal/day
(30 meals-tickets are not refundable/replaceable)
$30 Late Payment Fee
Withholding of Funds:
If there is an outstanding account balance, and the College has in its possession any funds payable to the student, the College reserves
the right to withhold funds necessary to pay the outstanding balance and cover any collection costs incurred. Once accounts are paid,
any remaining balance will be refunded to the student.
Student Loans:
Student loans are disbursed in two (2) portions each semester or term. All student loans are disbursed electronically.
Student Refunds:
Each registered Hinds student will receive a Hinds Debit Card. After all charges are paid, the balance of a student's refund is credited to
their Hinds Debit Card in quarterly payments during each semester. The Hinds Debit Card will be mailed to the student, using the
address on file with the College, approximately 3 or 4 weeks into the semester. To receive any refunds from the College, a student must
activate his or her Hinds Debit Card. During card activation, the student will choose how to receive his or her refund money. Students
have the following options:
1.
Once the College releases the funds, they can be directly deposited to the student's Hinds Debit Card Account (1 day
or less)
38
The OneAccount from Higher One is a fully functioning FDIC insured FREE CHECKING account that allows students quick
and easy access to their refunds. The OneAccount has no minimum balance, no monthly fees, and free Internet banking
features. With the OneAccount, students can use their Hinds Debit Card to make purchases anywhere Debit MasterCard is
accepted. Students will receive an e-mail when their refund has been directly deposited to their OneAccount. Students may
view detail activity of their OneAccount by accessing their OneAccount statement online at www.HindsDebitCard.com.
2. Once the College releases the funds, they can be directly deposited (ACH) to a third party bank account of the
student's choice (2 - 3 business days)
If students choose to have their refund electronically deposited to an already existing bank account, the transfer may take 2-3
business days from the day the College releases the funds. Students will receive an e-mail once their refund has been
processed. In order to have a refund deposited to their bank account, students must activate their Hinds Debit Card making
the ACH to a third party bank choice at www.HindsDebitCard.com.
Regardless of how students choose to receive their refunds, they must use their Hinds Debit Card to make their refund
delivery choice online at www.HindsDebitCard.com.
Withdrawals and Refunds:
Complete withdrawal:
Prior to Classes Starting
Students officially withdrawing prior to the start of a term will not be held liable for fees (other than nonrefundable fees).
Students who have paid tuition can use My.Hinds to remove themselves from all classes. For log-in instructions, click
here.
After Classes Have Started
Students must complete an official withdrawal form in the appropriate counseling office. In addition, the student must
be current on their payment plan or pay any fees owed within 14 days of billing. Withdrawal from classes may result in
the loss of financial aid previously applied. Students receiving Federal Title IV funds (Pell Grants, FSEOG, and William
D. Ford Loans) that withdraw from school will earn only a percentage of their award based on the last day of
attendance through 60% of the semester. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student
earned, the student may owe money back to Hinds. The liability for fees will not be excused for withdrawals effective
after the start of the semester.
Refunds:
Students having made prior payment will be refunded the amount paid less their liability (the amount owed) after the withdrawal.
Students suspended for disciplinary reasons are not eligible for refunds or reductions in liability. Refunds will be applied to any
outstanding obligations and to any scholarship, grant, or loan received for the semester. The refund policy is as follows:
Tuition and Fees:


100% refund if complete withdrawal is initiated during the first week of Traditional/MSVCC courses.*
50% refund if complete withdrawal is initiated during the second week of Traditional/MSVCC courses.*
*If a student is taking a combination of Traditional and MSVCC classes, the full refund is given during the first week of
Traditional classes, with a 50% refund given during the second week of Traditional classes.
Housing Fees:



75% refund before the sixth calendar day after Traditional classes begin
50% refund before the eleventh calendar day after Traditional classes begin
Meal Plans:
Students withdrawing from residence halls during the semester may be refunded all full weeks remaining on the meal ticket
period upon properly checking out of the residence halls.
Students who are placed in Active Military Status:
39
Any student who has enrolled at Hinds Community College under the governance of the Board of Trustees, who is a member of the
Mississippi National Guard, or one or more units of the Mississippi State Guard, or who is a member of any of the reserve components
of the armed forces of the United States, and who has been placed in active duty status by orders of the President of the United States,
or who has been drafted into any component of the armed forces of the United States, may be allowed to withdraw as a student of the
college, with a full tuition refund, out of state fees (if applicable), student fees and any special fees, with room and board fees prorated
with the approval of the president.
Any student who withdraws from the college under this policy will not receive any grades. The student record will show evidence of the
withdrawal with documentation on file.
Any student who has completed at least 3/4 of the semester and is in good standing with the college, and who needs only to take the
final examination to complete the semester, has the option to leave the college pursuant to this policy, without his class standing
affected, and without refund of any of the above fees or tuition. However, within ninety (90) days after release from active duty, the
student must make arrangements to take the final examination. The score on the final exam plus the unfinished semester's work will
constitute the student's final grade.
In-State and Out-of-State Status:
See section on Residency Requirements in this catalog. In-state or out-of-state status concerns or questions should be directed to the
Office of Admissions and Records.
Change in Regulations or Expenses:
All financial regulations, fees, or charges are subject to change as conditions warrant.
Financial Aid
General Requirements
Financial assistance is provided to students who have met admission requirements of the college and is to be used for educational
purposes. For the student to be eligible to continue receiving Federal financial aid, he/she must file a yearly Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA).
In order to receive financial aid from any Federal or Mississippi Student Financial Aid Program, the student must be in good standing
and must make satisfactory progress in his/her course of study according to Hinds Community College Policy for Satisfactory Academic
Progress. A student on Financial Aid suspension, student loan default or who owes Federal overpayment is not eligible for Federal or
State financial aid.
Funds for financial aid come from Federal Government Programs, Hinds Community College, the State of Mississippi, individuals, and
local civic organizations. The amount of money available for each award year depends upon the amount of money made available for
the institution from these sources.
Federal Financial Aid Only Available to High School Graduates and GED ® Graduates
Due to the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, students who do not have a high school diploma or equivalent
(GED®) and/or did not complete secondary school in a homeschool setting are no longer eligible for Title IV funds by passing an "ability
to benefit" test. A Certificate of Completion or Occupational Diploma are not equivalent to a standard high school diploma.
Those students who were enrolled in an eligible program of study prior to July 1, 2012 may continue to be considered Title IV eligible
under the previously existing ability to benefit guidance. Students that are still in high school and take concurrent enrollment classes are
not eligible for financial aid.
How to Apply
To be considered for any type of financial aid listed below, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov The Office of Financial Aid will electronically receive the results of the FAFSA approximately three
to five days after the student files, provided Hinds' Title IV school code, 002407, is submitted on the FAFSA. The student will be notified
by mail if any additional documents are required. Financial Aid will be awarded to each student based on the individual's need. Each
40
student is considered for all types of aid and awarded accordingly. Early filing of the FAFSA will insure sufficient time to study the needs
of each student. In order to receive priority consideration, the results from the FAFSA should be received by the Financial Aid Office
prior to April 1. Additional applications will continue to be accepted after this date; however this is a priority deadline for programs which
may have limited funding.
Return of Title IV Funds
Special rules apply when students withdraw after receiving Title IV financial aid for the term from any of the following programs:




Federal Pell Grant (PELL)
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
William D. Ford Direct Loan Program (SUB & UNSUB)
Federal PLUS Loan (borrowed on the student's behalf)
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 define Withdrawal as failure to complete the period of attendance on which federal aid
eligibility was based and Unofficial Withdrawals as those students who simply stop attending class. Therefore, this policy affects not only
those individuals who complete the formal withdrawal notification process, but also those students who simply stop attending classes. In
either case, when a recipient of Title IV funds ceases attendance during a term, the college must calculate how much was earned by the
student.
These rules are federally mandated and the amount of aid a student has earned for the enrollment period is based on the length of time
the student remained enrolled for that period. Therefore, the percentage of the enrollment period completed is also the percentage of aid
the student has earned. If a student withdraws on or before the 60% point of the enrollment period, the percentage of aid earned is
equal to the percentage of time completed and excess funds must be returned to Title IV within 45 days of the date the school
determined the student withdrew. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point of the enrollment period has earned 100% of
the grant aid for that period. Hinds Community College will return all unearned amount of Title IV Funds to the Department of Education.
A student must be enrolled in at least 6 hours in order to receive a loan disbursement. The amount of returned funds will be charged
back to the student's college account in the business office. Funds will be returned to the applicable Title IV aid programs in the
following order:
1. Federal Unsubsidized Loan
2. Federal Subsidized Loan
3. PLUS Loan
4. Federal Pell Grant
5. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
6. Other Title IV Aid
All withdrawals (official and unofficial) are determined by the institution by a weekly report that identifies all Title IV recipients that have
received a grade of F or W. The return to Title IV calculation will be completed using the first day we became aware the student has
ceased attendance. After this calculation has been completed, the student might be entitled to a post-withdrawal disbursement which
must be sent to the student within 45 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew. This type of disbursement is
received after the student has withdrawn from school but has earned a greater percentage of aid than has been advanced to them.

Policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress
Hinds Community College is required by federal regulations to establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress (SAP) to
determine a student's eligibility for the following Title IV Federal Financial Aid programs:





Federal Pell Grant (PELL)
William D. Ford Direct Loan Program (SUB & UNSUB)
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
Parent Plus Loan (PLUS)
Federal College Work-Study (FWS)
Hinds Community College has determined that all students will fall under the same Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. To receive
and maintain financial assistance, a student must make satisfactory progress toward the competition of an eligible academic, technical,
or career program of study. The following policies are in compliance with federal guidelines for Satisfactory Academic Progress:
To Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student must meet the following conditions:
1.
2.
A student must pass 2/3 of cumulative semester hours attempted. This includes withdrawn and repeated class hours.
A student must also maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) based on semesters attempted as outlined in
the chart below:
Cumulative Semesters attempted (full or part-time):
1st
2nd
3+
Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average:
1.75
1.85
2.0
3. A student receiving financial aid is expected to complete his/her program of study within a time frame not to exceed 150% of the
published length of that program. Based on a standard 62 semester hour AA or AAS degree program of study, 93 semester hours is the
maximum number of hours for the 150% rule.
I.
Status Review and Notification:
At the end of each semester including Summer, the Office of Financial Aid will notify in writing a student who fails to
meet the conditions 1 and/or 2 above that they are on financial aid warning status. A student placed on financial
aid warning will be able to receive financial aid. The written notice will serve as notice to a student that failure to
meet the above conditions during the warning semesters will result in an unsatisfactory financial aid status. There is




no warning status/semester for condition 3. A student placed on financial aid unsatisfactory progress (suspension)
will be unable to receive financial aid. Students who are in an unsatisfactory financial aid status will be notified in
writing. A student may re-establish his/her eligibility to receive financial aid by attending school, paying his/her own
fees without Federal Financial Aid and meeting conditions 1 and 2 above. A student who fails condition 3 may reestablish eligibility by completing the program or, in some instances, beginning a new program.
Withdrawals, Repeated, Remedial, Non-Credit, and Incomplete Courses:
"W's" will be counted in evaluating the number of semester hours attempted for the purpose of determining eligibility
to receive financial aid. "W's" will not be used in calculating a student's grade point average (GPA).
A student will be allowed to repeat a course according to the policies stated in the College Catalog; however, all
repeated courses will be included in total hours attempted for the purpose of determining eligibility to receive
financial aid.
Semester hours for remedial/developmental courses will not be recorded as hours attempted. Non-credit courses
will not be counted in hours attempted.
An incomplete (I) grade will have the same effect as a failing (F) grade when calculating quality points and hours
attempted.
Remedial courses will be included in the calculation of a student's grade point average (GPA).
Clock Hour Programs: Satisfactory academic progress is measured at the end of each payment period to
determine if a student is eligible for a subsequent Title IV payment. Clock hour programs must adhere to the same
2/3 cumulative completion rate as the credit hour programs and are subject to the 150% time frame in that a 1500
hour program generally takes 14 months to complete so Hinds Community College may allow 21 months for
completion.
Changing Majors: A student who has changed majors or has completed one program and begun another, may
contact the Financial Aid office in writing and the academic progress can be reset to include only those credits and
grades that count toward the requirements of the new major. No student may have this reset more than two times
unless a written request is approved by the Financial Aid Director.
Time Frame:
Students attempting 150% (or more) of the hours in a program are no longer eligible for financial aid in that program
unless an appeal has been approved.
Transfer Students:
A student transferring to Hinds Community College from another college shall be assumed to have maintained
satisfactory academic progress at his/her previous college. Hours transferred from previously attended colleges, and
accepted towards the student's program, will be posted to the student's transcript by the Office of Admissions and
Records after the student has completed at least 12 semester hours at Hinds. Credit hours transferred from a
previous college will be counted toward the attempted and completed hours. If transfer credits do not apply toward
the current program of study, the student may contact Financial Aid in writing to have this re-evaluated.
Grade Changes: The Office of Admissions and Records will notify the Financial Aid Office of any grade or
enrollment changes posted subsequent to the SAP process.
Unsatisfactory Status Appeals Process:
In extenuating circumstances such as personal illness or illness/death of an immediate family or legal guardian, a
student may appeal an unsatisfactory financial aid status by filing a written Letter of Appeal Form to Financial AidAppeals Office at the Raymond campus. For convenience, the student may submit the form (and accompanying
information) to the Dean of Students Office/Campus Dean at any location. An appeal must contain the following
information:
A written plan for success listing required courses to take. This information may be found through My.Hinds, the
online College Catalog, a transfer/articulation guide, a Hinds counselor or at
http://www.mississippi.edu/oasa/articulation_agreement.html.
A written explanation stating the reason the student failed to have satisfactory scholastic progress in any semesters
in which the student earned D's, F's, I's or withdrawals.
Documentation for any extenuating circumstances listed in the appeal. (letter from medical doctor or legal
document)
An explanation of what has changed in the student's circumstances that will allow them to succeed.
Each appeal will be considered on its own merit. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will review the appeal and
respond to the student within 30 working days. Appeals are limited to one per student except in extreme
extenuating circumstances. Appeals will be granted for one semester only and the student will be reviewed for
satisfactory academic progress before being granted financial aid for additional semesters. A student with an
approved appeal will be placed on probation status. For additional information about the appeals process, please
refer to the Student Handbook.

dropped, withdrawn, canceled, and added courses). Students who fail to comply with this regulation will be liable for repayment of any
resulting over payments. (See policy below concerning over-payments.)
Tuition and Fee Payments under Post 9/11 GI Bill
Students receiving benefits under the Post 9/11 GI Bill will have the appropriated tuition and fee payment sent to Hinds Community
College by the Dept. of Veterans' Affairs. The Office of Veterans' Benefits will submit the tuition and fees being charged no earlier the
last day to drop/add a course for each semester. Students will not be penalized or deregistered for delayed payment by the Dept. of
Veterans' Affairs.

Turn your debt over to a private collection agency.
File suit in federal court to collect your debt.
Withhold approval of your VA home loan guarantee.
Collect the debt from your federal income tax refund.
Explanation of Mitigating Circumstances
The law requires that the VA must collect all benefits paid to a beneficiary for a course for which the grade assigned is not used in
computing the requirements for graduation including a course from which the beneficiary withdraws, unless there are mitigating
circumstances.
This means if you drop a course, unless you can show the VA that there are mitigating circumstances, you must return all the money
paid to you for pursuit of that course from the start of the term, not merely from the date you dropped the course.
Examples of acceptable mitigating circumstances are prolonged illness, severe illness or death in your immediate family and
unscheduled changes in your employment or work schedule.
Examples of unacceptable mitigating circumstances include withdrawal to avoid a failing grade, dislike of instructor and too many
courses attempted.
NOTE: Student is required to submit evidence to support reasons before he/she can be accepted by the VA.

College Regulations
Attendance-Withdrawal Policy
Attendance
Attendance in class is a key factor of success in college. The following procedure applies to regular academic, technical and career
credit programs, including online courses. It does not apply to non-credit or continuing education activities. Some programs in nursing
and allied health, career fields or non-credit programs require more stringent attendance policies which will be followed and will be
stated in the departmental regulations for the program of study.
The primary method by which the College communicates with its credit students concerning attendance is the students' College issued
email account. All credit students are responsible for activating their College email account within three (3) days of registering for
classes for the first time and for checking it frequently (at least three times each week) when classes are in session.
All instructors will take roll at each class meeting and will maintain an attendance record for each student. Attendance will be recorded
beginning the first day of the class or the first day the student registers for the class, whichever is later. The student is responsible for all
assigned work, including work which occurred prior to the student's enrollment in the class. Students must attend 80% of the meetings
for each course in order to receive credit for a course. Online courses will require completion of content-related assignments to be
considered present in a course. Logging in to the course will not count towards attendance. Attendance in online courses is counted
weekly. All Instructors will make certain that each student is aware of all College policies and procedures concerning attendance,
excessive absence notification, and withdrawal. The student is responsible for reading all related requirements in this Catalog and
the Student Handbook.
Students should be aware that beginning with the Fall term of 2011, class attendance will be used as one factor in determining the
release of the balance of financial aid.
Tardies
Failure to report to class at the beginning of the class period equals a tardy. Three tardies equal one unexcused absence. Students
who miss more than fifteen (15) minutes of a class will be marked absent. A student who leaves the classroom without the instructor's
permission will be marked absent.
Excused Absences
HCC recognizes two types of excused absences: those for personal emergencies, and those for official school activities. The student is
allowed to make up the work which occurred during excused absences.
Student absences may be excused by the instructor for personal emergencies such as illness, death in the student's immediate family,
or other valid unavoidable circumstances. It is the responsibility of the student to inform all instructors when absences are due to
personal emergency. Instructors may require written documentation, such as verification of illness on a physician's letterhead.
Official absences are those resulting from student participation in important activities officially sponsored by the College. Students will be
provided with an Official Absence Notice by the proper College official. It is the responsibility of the student to show the instructor the
Verification of Official Absence form or letter. A student will be allowed to make up the class or laboratory work that was missed during
an official absence.
Unexcused Absences
All absences not due to personal emergency or official school activities are unexcused. Students who are absent from a final exam
without the approval of the instructor will receive a course grade of "F".
Excessive Unexcused Absences
54
NOTICE OF ABSENCES must be sent when the student has accumulated excessive unexcused absences as defined below. All
Excessive Absence Notices (traditional classes, online classes and college life/study hall classes) will be sent to the student's College
issued e-mail via the online attendance system. Excessive unexcused absences are defined as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Fall and Spring semesters - day or evening class, after the number of times that the class meets in one week plus one, based
on a full semester length class.
Distance Learning classes during any term - when the student has two (2) absences for Spring or Fall term; 1 (one) absence
for Summer term.
Four (4) week term - after two (2) absences. Eight (8) week term - after four (4) absences.
Summer session - evening classes, after two (2) absences.
Career Block - full Fall and Spring semesters -three (3) days of absences. Four week term - after two (2) days of
absences. Eight week term - after three (3) days of absences.
Notice of Absence Procedure
All instructors will take roll at each class meeting and will maintain an attendance record for each student. Attendance will be recorded
beginning the first day of the class or the first day the student registers for the class, whichever is later. All Instructors will make certain
that each student is aware of all College policies and procedures concerning attendance, excessive absence notification, and withdrawal
and will stress the student's responsibility for reading all related requirements in the College Catalog and the Student Handbook.



A NOTICE OF ABSENCE may be sent at any time the instructor becomes concerned about a student's attendance.
A NOTICE OF ABSENCE must be sent to the student by the instructor when the student has accumulated the number of
unexcused absences outlined above.
A NOTICE OF ABSENCE requires the student to contact the instructor immediately to discuss the following options:
1. Return to the class.
2. Withdraw from the class with a 'W' during the withdrawal period.
3. Withdraw from all classes during the withdrawal period. (See counselor in Counseling Office).
4. Be dropped from class with a grade of 'F.'
If the student fails to contact the instructor within the number of calendar days* of the send date of the NOTICE OF ABSENCE
as specified below, he/she may be dropped from class with a grade of 'F.'
1. Fall and Spring full-term classes - seven (7) calendar days.
2. Distance Learning Classes - seven (7) calendar days.
3. Summer session four week classes - three (3) calendar days.
4. Eight-week classes (all terms, day and evening) - four (4) calendar days.
The Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs is notified of the assigned 'F' and the last date of attendance for any student
receiving Financial Aid or Veterans Benefits and who has earned an 'F' for excessive absences.
Notes:
1.
2.
Withdrawal from a class or from school is permitted only during specific time periods during a term. See the College Calendar.
* "Calendar days" do not include school holidays but do include normal two-day weekends.
Appeals
The student, after consulting with the Instructor, may file an appeal with the appropriate Department Chairperson, and Academic,
Career-Technical, or eLearning Dean. The instructor, chairperson and dean will review the appeal and respond to the student.
No Show Policy
Beginning the Fall 2013 semester, a No Show shall be defined as a student who has NEVER attended a class. Students attending at
least one time should understand that they will be charged for the class unless they drop the class within the regular drop/add period of
the semester. Failure to drop the class during the drop/add period will result in the student's receiving a Notice of Absence (NOA)
warning and an NOA "F" for the class. In the case of required co-requisite courses, a student cannot be dropped as a No Show in one
course and continue to be enrolled in the co-requisite course. No-shows for online courses are determined by completion of work during
the first week of the course. Logging in to the course only will NOT count as completion of work. See the College Calendar for drop/add
dates.
55
Single Course Withdrawal
(withdrawing from one or more classes but not from all classes)
Before considering withdrawing from a class or classes, a student should be aware of the following information:
1.
Students on Financial Aid, Veterans Benefits, Scholarships or GSL Loans should note that dropping a class or classes may
lower or stop benefits or cause repayment to be due immediately.
2. To live in a residence hall, students must maintain full-time enrollment which is twelve (12) semester hours or more during the
Fall and Spring. During the Summer the requirement is three (3) semester hours per summer term.
3. Any student withdrawing from either a lecture or laboratory science course must withdraw from both at the same time except
during the last week of the withdrawal period (with the exception of the BIO courses). Note: Any student wishing to take a
continuation academic science course must have credit in both the lecture and lab before being allowed to take the
continuation lecture or continuation lab.
Classes which are dropped during the Drop and Add period are considered schedule changes and do not appear on the student's
record. Students wishing to withdraw from one or more classes (but not from school), may use the Register and Drop Sections screen in
their My.Hinds account. The periods during which a student may withdraw from a class and the grade assigned are indicated below

who have paid tuition can use their My.Hinds account to remove themselves from all classes. For log-in instructions, click here.
To withdraw from the College at any time prior to five (5) working days before the first day of final exams for day/evening classes during
a regular semester (three [3] days during the Summer), a student must contact a counselor who will initiate the withdrawal. Students in
Distance Learning courses must contact a counselor to initiate the withdrawal by the date designated on the MSVCC calendar (Note:
This date is earlier than the traditional last day to withdraw). The grade at the time of withdrawal from the College will be "W" in all
classes in which the student has not been dropped with an "F" for excessive absences. It is the responsibility of the student to complete
and return the Withdrawal Form to the Counseling Office within twenty-four (24) hours.
College Credit by Examination

Hinds Community College (HCC) accepts credits earned by examinations through the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP),
Advanced Placement (AP) testing, and International Baccalaureate (IB) examination. Submit official AP, CLEP, or IB scores to the
Office of Admissions and Records for evaluation: Office of Admissions and Records, P.O. Box 1100, Raymond, MS 39154.
A student must earn 12 hours from Hinds Community College before credit earned through examination will be recorded on his/her
permanent record. The total amount of credit awarded for all non-classroom experiences is limited to 30 semester hours. Credit will not
be used to compute a student's grade point average (GPA) but will be counted in hours earned. Credit will be awarded only in subject
matter areas that are taught by Hinds Community College. Go to AP, CLEP, and IB for the specific guidelines and policies for each.
Hinds Community College offers challenge exams by department with approval of the Academic Dean.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) www.collegeboard.com
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) enables students to earn college credit-by-examination. The District Assessment
Center on the Raymond Campus administers the CLEP program. A listing of the courses for which HCC will award credit is below. A
maximum of 18 hours of CLEP subject examination credit will be accepted by Hinds Community College, and scores must be at or

An application for graduation must be submitted to the administrative office of any campus or the Office of Admissions and Records on
the Raymond Campus no later than the sixth week of the semester the student plans to graduate. No degrees or certificates will be
awarded until all degree requirements have been met, including the payment of all fees owed to the College. Developmental courses
cannot be used as electives to meet graduation requirements. For a list of developmental courses, see Admissions section of this
publication.
A student may graduate under the requirements of the published catalog for the current year or under the graduation requirements of
the published catalog for the year the student entered Hinds Community College. Requirements, however, may not be divided between
the two.
Graduation exercises are held in the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. A student may meet the requirements for graduation by
complying with one of the following:
1.
2.
Select a specialized field of study and follow the curriculum which is outlined for it in this catalog, or
Follow the General Program requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree, which are given in the "Academic Programs of
Study" section of this catalog, or
3. Comply with the catalog requirements of the first two years of the specified four-year accredited college or university to which
the student will transfer. This transfer curriculum must calculate to 62 transferable hours. Fifteen of these transferable hours
must be drawn from and include at least one course from each of the following areas: Humanities/Fine Arts; Social/Behavioral
Sciences; and Natural Science/Mathematics. The courses selected should be survey courses rather than applied courses.
4. Associate in Applied Science Degree, Career Certificate, and Technical Certificate students are required to take an
Occupation-Specific Assessment as part of their program of study, unless a program of study requires a certification or
licensure examination for professional practice.
If a student has met one of the above-mentioned criteria and has completed at least 16 semester hours at Hinds CC, he or she may
transfer back the number of hours needed to graduate from a regionally accredited institution in order to receive a Hinds CC
degree. (Ex. Student completes 16 hours at Hinds CC under the General Program of Study for the AA degree. Student may transfer
back 46 hours of completed coursework applicable to this degree.) The transferring back of up to 46 hours to complete a Hinds
Community College degree excludes programs that require special admissions or accrediting restrictions.
Please note: Due to changing technologies and workforce needs, some programs may have limitations on the amount of time allowed
between completing the class and applying for the degree. In those cases, students may contact the Dean at the campus/location of
their program to discuss their options.
64
A minimum quality point average of 2.0 is required in order to graduate. The 2.0 GPA may be calculated using either of the two following
methods; both of these calculations will only include courses completed at Hinds Community College:
1. GPA of 2.0 calculated on all hours attempted
2. GPA of 2.0 calculated on only those courses required for graduation
(See the "GRADES" section of these regulations for calculating grade or quality point average.)
Online Students:
Students taking online courses must meet the same graduation requirements as other students.
Transfer Students Planning to Graduate:
Courses and credit will be accepted up to 46 semester hours (or the equivalent thereof - one quarter hour is equivalent to .67 semester
hour) as they correspond to the curriculum of Hinds Community College, provided they are earned at a state and regionally accredited
institution. All college transfer credits, military credits, etc., should be submitted via an official transcript in order to be considered
towards a degree. To meet graduation requirements, a student must complete at least 25 percent of the semester hours at Hinds.
Developmental courses cannot be transferred into Hinds Community College to meet graduation requirements but may be used for
placement purposes.
Grades
Mid-Semester and Final Grades
At mid-semester and at the end of the semester, the scholastic performance (grades) of students in each course is reported by the
instructor. Mid-semester grades and semester grades are not mailed to the students. Grades and other information are provided to
students via the student's My.Hinds account. The semester grade reports become a part of the student's permanent record. Midsemester grades are used only to inform students of their progress in class.
Final Examinations
All students are required to take examinations at the time designated on the final examination schedule. A student who is absent from a
final exam and who has made no report of personal illness or other emergencies to an instructor will not be permitted to take the
examination at a later date. A student who reports an emergency to an instructor before a scheduled examination will be given a grade
of "I" (Incomplete). The incomplete work must be completed by the end of the succeeding Fall or Spring semester. Unless the (I)
incomplete grade is changed to another letter grade by this time, the (I) incomplete grade will become an "F". Students who are absent
from a final examination without the approval of the instructor will receive a course grade of "0" for the final exam.
Grading System
Courses are graded according to the following system: (Note: Some courses do not award a grade of D.)
1. Used in Quality Point Average Computation:

Credit
1 CEU per 10 clock hours
NOTE: A Continuing Education Unit is defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education adult or
extension experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction." The CEU is used as a basic unit of
measurement for an individual student's participation in an educational activity which does not award semester hour credit. Continuing
Education Unit credit cannot be converted to semester hour credit and is not used to determine a student's quality point average.
Withholding of Grades
Grades and other information are provided to students via the College's website. However, grades may be withheld by the College for
the following reasons: unpaid fees or fines, unreturned library books or audiovisual materials, incomplete admission records, or
disciplinary actions.
"I" Incomplete Grades
An incomplete grade "I" is assigned if, due to personal illness or other emergencies, a student is unable to complete required course
work by the end of the semester. It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor and to arrange a method of completing course
requirements by the end of the succeeding Fall or Spring semester in which the incomplete grade "I" was received. Unless the "I"
incomplete grade is changed to another letter grade by this time, the "I" incomplete grade will become an "F".
Auditing a Course
A student who wishes to take a credit course for no credit must at the time of registration, register for the course as an audit, complete
the audit form and pay the regular fee.
The audit student will receive no credit, no quality points, and may not change the course from audit back to credit. The student may, in
succeeding semesters, take for credit any course previously audited. Audit courses will be reflected on the student's permanent record
as "AU" (Audit).
Students cannot audit an online course. Auditing a course should not be confused with repeating a course to raise a grade.
Semester Credit Hour
A semester credit hour is the unit of credit earned over one semester, or the equivalent, for the work associated with one class hour per
week of lecture or recitation (a minimum of 750 minutes per semester). A minimum of two hours per week over the same period is
required for laboratory classes (a minimum of 1650 minutes per semester). Clinical rotations and supervised work experience require a
minimum of three hours per week over the period of one semester or the equivalent (a minimum of 2,250 minutes per semester).
66
Classification of Students Who Receive Credit
Classification of students who receive credit at Hinds Community College is as follows:
Freshman -
A student who has earned fewer than 30 semester hours of college credit.
Sophomore -
A student who has earned 30 or more semester hours of college credit.
Full-time student -
A student who is enrolled in 12 or more semester hours in a given semester or a pro rata share thereof
for less than semester length courses.
Part-time student -
A student who is enrolled in less than 12 semester hours in a given semester or a pro rata share thereof
for less than semester length courses.
Quality Point Average (Grade Point Average)
A quality point average is determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total semester hours attempted. For
example:
ENG 1113
3 Sem. Hr. Credit Grade A (4 points) =

Total Quality Points =
Divide 42 quality points by 14 semester hours attempted = 3.0 quality point average.
Honor Graduates
Students graduating from Hinds Community College with a quality point average of 4.0 are graduated Summa Cum Laude. Students
graduating with a quality point average of 3.60 - 3.99 are graduated Magna Cum Laude. Students graduating with a quality point
average of 3.20 - 3.59 are graduated Cum Laude. The quality point average is determined by dividing the total number of quality points
by the total semester hours of work attempted.
Honors, Scholars, Distinctions and Awards
Three E-Awards for Emphasis on Excellence and Enrichment are given during the school year. Sophomores selected to Who's Who
Among Students in Community and Junior Colleges are honored at a ceremony held in the Fall semester. The Distinguished Student is
selected from the Who's Who recipients and is honored by the College and the Mississippi Legislature.
Awards Day is held in the Spring semester for the purpose of presenting various awards (certificates, medals, ribbons, trophies, etc.) to
students for outstanding achievements and/or accomplishments in all areas of college life. Departments may award the distinction of
Outstanding Student in a major or subject area.
Deans' and President's Scholar standing is awarded at the end of Fall and Spring semesters based on the following criteria:
A Deans' Scholar is a student who has maintained a cumulative 3.50 - 3.99 quality point average with an accumulation of twelve or more
completed semester hours and earned a minimum 2.00 quality point average for the term of the award OR who earned a 3.50-3.99
quality point average based on a minimum of twelve completed semester hours for the award term with a minimum 2.00 overall quality
point average.
67
A President's Scholar is a student who has maintained a cumulative 4.00 quality point average with an accumulation of twelve or more
completed semester hours OR who earned a 4.00 quality point average based on a minimum of twelve completed semester hours for
the award term with a minimum 2.00 overall quality point average.
Deans' and President's List Scholars are recognized at a ceremony in the Spring for their Fall semester grade accomplishments. Deans'
and President's List Scholars receive a letter during the Summer noting their Spring semester grade accomplishments. The Deans' and
President's List distinction is posted on the student's transcript in the Fall and Spring. The programs, sponsored by the College
President and student services employees from all campuses, are held in the Spring semester and are coordinated through the
Associate Vice President for Student Services Office and the Honors Center.
Summer School
Hinds Community College operates day classes in two four-week sessions and evening and online classes in one eight week Summer
session. A student's course load may not be above twelve hours during the Summer sessions without the approval of the campus
instructional dean.
Repeating a Course
In order to better his or her grade point average, a student may repeat, for grade replacement, a course already taken at Hinds. Each
course may be repeated only one time for grade replacement. A student may repeat up to eight (8) credit hours. The official grade will
be the grade earned in the repeated class, even if the grade is lower than the first attempt, and will count towards the cumulative grade
point average at Hinds. All grade attempts remain posted on the Hinds transcript. Some courses can be repeated for additional credit
and cannot be replaced for a better grade (ex: Physical Education Activity, Music Lessons, Seminars). Developmental courses nor
CPAS Prep courses may be repeated for replacement. Dual enrolled students may not petition a course for a replacement grade. The
replacement grade policy is honored at Hinds Community College and may not be recognized by other colleges/universities or
employers.
Students must complete the Request to Repeat a Course for Replacement Grade form with their instructional dean before the end of the
drop/add period for the term
If the repeated course is online, the request should go to the eLearning Dean. If the course is no longer available, no other course may
be substituted. In some programs such as Nursing and Allied Health, the right to repeat courses for replacement grade is not
automatic. A designation of "W" or "AU" cannot be substituted for a previous grade.
All hours attempted during the student's entire enrollment in the college will be considered when determining federally funded financial
aid eligibility. This includes repeated courses. Students are urged to consult with their academic advisor or counselor before repeating
a passed course. Students repeating any courses after the eight credit hour limit, will have their grade point average determined by
dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total semester hours attempted. In computing scholastic averages in these

Appeal of Final Grade in a Course
A student may appeal a final grade in a course. The student must initiate the process below before the beginning of Final Exams for the
following semester (excluding summer) after the grade was posted:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The student must discuss his/her grade with the instructor, stating the reason he/she believes the grade is incorrect. The
instructor will have seven (7) school business days (excluding Final Exam days) to verify the grade and/or show the student
how the grade was calculated.
If there is no resolution, the student must submit a formal Letter of Appeal to the appropriate Department Chair or Director,
who will review the appeal and respond in writing in seven (7) school business days (excluding Final Exam days). A copy of
the formal Letter of Appeal must also be given to the instructor of the course. The Letter of Appeal form can be found in the
documents section of the student portal on My.Hinds.
If there is still no resolution, the student must then submit the formal Letter of Appeal to the appropriate Instructional Dean,
who will review the findings of the Department Chair or Director who will respond in writing in seven (7) school business days
(excluding Final Exam days).*
With no resolution at this point, the student must present the matter to the Local Instructional Appeals Committee where the
matter will be decided. Before making a judgment, this committee will secure information from the student, the instructor, the
68
Department Chair or Director, and the Instructional Dean. The decision of this committee will be final and binding. Appeals
for distance learning courses should be directed to the Dean of eLearning and the local appeals committee for eLearning.
5. If a student wishes to begin the process during the Summer, he/she must write a formal Letter of Appeal and file it with the
appropriate Instructional Dean.

response will be sent to the student and to the appropriate Department Chair/Director.
b. If the student wishes to pursue the appeal, the Department Chair/Director will be notified and will have 21 days to respond
to the appeal in writing. This response will be sent to the student and to the appropriate Instructional Dean.
c. If the student wishes to continue the appeals process, steps 3 and 4 will be followed.
All instructional complaints other than grade appeals should follow the instructional grievance process.

Student Organizations
Statement of Student Participation in Institutional Affairs
The students of Hinds Community College are afforded the right of participation in the College's affairs via the Student Government.
Recommendations passed by the Student Government are forwarded to the Associate Vice President for Student Services for
consideration to the District Student Services Council. The Associate Vice President for Student Services then forwards the
recommendations to the Vice-President or appropriate council for consideration and they are then forwarded to the President of the
College for his decision.
Associated Student Government
The associated student body consists of all students enrolled in Hinds Community College. The Associated Student Government (ASG)
serves the student body by presenting student input through elections, special activities, intramurals, clubs, organizations, local senates,
and ASG Committees.
Each local senate is a part of the Associated Student Government. Therefore, each local senate is governed by the Associated Student
Government Constitution which governs all local senates and their own bylaws. Each local senate shall be responsible for choosing
representatives to the Associated Student Government. Members of the Associated Student Government must maintain a per semester
grade point average of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale. For more information, contact the Operating Dean at the respective location, the District
ASG Advisor at 601.857.3464 or the Associate Vice President for Student Services at 601.857.3232.
The number of representatives a location will have in the Associated Student Government shall be determined annually from the
percentage of each location's contribution to the total postsecondary enrollment for the preceding fall semester of all campuses
represented. The number of representatives shall be exactly twenty-four (24) and the number of representatives from each location will
vary with the incorporation of additional local senates into the Associated Student Government. (See each location section in the
Student Handbook for information concerning local senates.)
Student Elections Committee
The Election Committee shall directly assist the Associate Vice-President for Student Services and/or the District Director of Student
Activities in the election process by working at the polls and counting votes. This committee will also make provisions for all locations
designated by the Student Activities Director to participate in Homecoming. Participation shall include voting in and actually competing in
any election for Homecoming Queen and Court.
Organizing a New Organization
Any (all) potentially new organizations or clubs must complete an Application for Proposed Student Organization by initiating sponsor

available from the District Director of Student Activities.
Registration of Organization/Officer Roster/Constitution
Each year all organizations which wish to remain active organizations on Campus must register their desire by completing a form which
lists the current officers and the faculty advisor. It is the newly elected president's responsibility to file the roster of newly elected officers
with the Division of Student Services within ten (10) days of election. Failure to comply with this regulation will result in a loss of
recognition on Campus. New officers should check to see that the constitution on file is current. Student organizations shall furnish to
79
the Division of Student Services, upon request, any information which it considers necessary for administration such as constitution, list
of officers, faculty advisor, schedule of activities, etc.
Advisor(s)/Sponsor(s)
All student organizations shall have one or more advisors of the faculty, staff, or administration who maintain contact with the
organization's activities and functions. Serving as an advisor is an active responsibility which includes supervising all activities, events,
fund raising, community service and campus financial account. Financial accounts are to be signed by two persons (advisor, officer,
dean or department head). Faculty/staff advisors should be thoroughly acquainted with the objectives and policies of the College.
His/her participation with the organization is an important mentor relationship where the advisor gives advice and assistance that is
welcomed by the student group(s) and that regulation and control be limited to the minimum necessary to protect freedom of expression,
democratic process, and compliance with College policy.

Campus Safety
District Emergency Procedures
Emergencies, whether man-made or natural, can occur at any time and for any reason. Hinds Community College strives to keep our
students, faculty, staff, and visitors safe at all times. Hinds Community College's Emergency Alert System is called EagleOne
Alerts. The EagleOne Alert Network uses SMS/Voice messages, Emails, Facebook, Twitter, Emergency Info Line (601.857.3600), the
EagleOne Website, and Eagle Vision to communicate vital information to let students, parents, and staff know when there is an
emergency on or around campus and what they need to do to be safe. More information about the EagleOne Alert Network and how to
sign up for alerts can be found at http://eagleone.hindscc.edu/. The EagleOne Alert Network is tested on the first day of every month at

Further information about the emergency procedures concerning the operation of the Hinds Community College District can be found in
the Hinds CC Student Handbook.
Campus Public Safety
Campus Public Safety is provided by a College-employed staff of MS Certified Police Officers and Campus Security officers

goals of educational excellence.
The Hinds Community College Police Departments have adopted a "Community Policing" philosophy in order to ensure the safety and
security of our students and campus employees and visitors. The Police Department strives to work with faculty, staff and students to
ensure a safe environment where students can learn, study and grow in all areas.
More information about Campus Public Safety can be found at http://www.hindscc.edu/offices/campus_police/index.
Crime-Emergency Reporting Policy and Response
Current Hinds Community College District Policy requires that members of the college community report all criminal actions and other
emergencies to the Campus Police/Security Department. The Campus Police/Security Department or location Dean's Office will initiate
an immediate response to any reported emergency. If circumstances require expertise or assistance beyond the Campus
Police/Security's abilities, the Campus Police/Security or location Dean's office will immediately notify and request assistance from local
law enforcement or other emergency services via telephone or radio.
There is an Anonymous Confidential Crime Report located on the Campus Public Safety Page at
http://forms.hindscc.edu/CampusPolice/Default.aspx. This page is not intended to replace the normal crime reporting process. The
form is provided as a special service for those who wish to report criminal activity confidentially. CPS Office personnel will not contact
you because they will not know who you are, unless you provide that information to them.
Further Information
A full publication has been given to students and employees to meet the requirements of federal law since September 1, 1993
concerning crime report data and drug/alcohol information. Beginning in 2000, these documents have been available on the Hinds
website. Beginning in fall 2009, an email announcement with links to the "It's Your Right to Know-Clery Crime Report-Emergency
Information" and "Drug/Alcohol Information: Penalties, Symptoms, Laws, Consequences and Assistance" is sent to students and
employees.

the Mississippi Community College Board. These requirements apply to all AA and AAS degree programs.
All degree programs (Associate of Arts and Associate of Applied Science) will contain the 15-16 semester hours defined as General
Education Core courses.
General Education Core
The purpose of the General Education Core is to instill in degree graduates a broader view of the human experience and to incorporate
their own points of reference when viewing the world around them. General Education Core courses expose students to content areas in
which they gain knowledge, acquire communication skills, and articulate their own perspectives on life situations separate from the area
in which they are seeking a degree.
Students who earn an Associate in Arts degree or an Associate in Applied Science degree from Hinds Community College will evidence
the following General Education Core competencies:
Critical Thinking/Problem Solving: Competence in critical thinking/problem solving is the intellectual ability to skillfully conceptualize,
apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information. Developing this competency includes acquiring the skills necessary to
comprehend concepts, examine arguments, reason effectively, and present a conclusion or a solution to a problem.
Written Communication: Competence in written communication is the ability to communicate appropriate structure, information, and
analysis with clear, concise language that reflects college level expectation through writing. Developing this competency includes
acquiring the ability to convey a logical argument in the assigned format without errors or plagiarism.
Technology: Competence in technology use is to be an intelligent user of technology in relation to one's field or program of
study. Developing this competency includes mastery of technological skills applicable to said field or program of study.
Oral Communication: Competence in oral communication is the ability to communicate orally and/or expressively in clear, coherent,
and persuasive language appropriate to purpose, occasion, and audience. Developing this competency includes acquiring poise and
developing control of the language through experience in making presentations to different size audiences and with the use of media.
To ensure these competencies, all degree programs of study contain the following General Education Core courses:

that chosen program of study. Developmental courses cannot be used as electives to meet graduation requirements. For a list of
developmental courses, see Admissions section of this publication.

Academic Programs
Transfer Tracks
Hinds Community College offers course work to complete the first two years of most baccalaureate programs of study. Listed below
are just some of the baccalaureate programs which an academic student may pursue at Hinds. Students who plan to enter
Mississippi public universities or four-year colleges should be aware of the transfer requirements that may apply in individual cases.
These requirements vary with ACT scores, high school preparation, and high school GPA.
An academic student may earn an Associate in Arts Degree (AA) in either of two ways: (1) complete an academic program of study
listed in this catalog -OR- (2) complete the first two years of any baccalaureate program of study found in any four-year college or
university catalog which has become effective since the student began his/her college studies. Although one may pursue an AA
degree in a specific area, the diploma issued by Hinds Community College will read "Associate in Arts Degree" with no reference to
a major.
Generally one-half of the hours required for a bachelor's degree may be transferred from a community college and applied to that
degree at a four-year institution. Hinds Community College maintains a close working relationship with all Mississippi senior
institutions to insure that all academic courses which are intended to transfer will do so. Individual articulation agreements are
maintained with selected colleges as well as a formal overall Articulation Agreement between the Mississippi Board of Trustees of
State Institutions of Higher Learning and the Mississippi Community College Board, outlining over 160 articulated programs of study.
Articulation agreements may be found at http://www.mississippi.edu/oasa/articulation_agreement.html.

Program Description: Associate Degree Nursing is a program that prepares the graduate as a generalist capable of providing
competent, accountable client care in diverse settings. The graduate utilizes skills in critical thinking, relationship, care management,
primary care, and community to function as a provider of care, manager of care, and member of a profession. Health promotion,
disease prevention, and health protection, across the lifespan, are integrated throughout the curriculum. Major areas of emphasis
encompass the following core components of nursing practice: professional behaviors, communication, assessment, clinical
decision making, caring interventions, teaching and learning, collaboration, and managing care. Two options are available: the

About Hinds
History of Hinds Community College
What began in 1917 as a small agricultural high school in the center of Hinds County is today one of the largest and
most progressive post-secondary educational institutions in the state of Mississippi. Hinds County Agricultural High
School in Raymond was established under the presidency of W.N. Taylor. In its first year, the institution enrolled
117 students who were taught by a faculty of eight. The school was one of several agricultural high schools that
sprang up in the state during this period.
In 1918, R.E.L. Sutherland became the president of the institution. Building on the legacy of Taylor, Sutherland's
leadership directed the school toward becoming part of one of the first statewide junior college systems in the
nation. The first year of junior college work was offered during the 1922-23 school session and attracted a
freshman enrollment of 30 students. A curriculum for sophomore students was added in 1926. During this time,
the college also received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which guaranteed
that Hinds students would have their coursework fully accepted by senior colleges and universities.
President G.J. Cain served the college from 1929 to 1938, and while the college curriculum and enrollment
continued to grow, so did the institution's participation in competition. The year 1936 marked Hinds'
predominance in state contests, as the college beat literary, athletic and debate rivals.
After Cain's tenure, George M. McLendon assumed the presidency and served until 1965. Under his leadership,
Hinds experienced accelerated growth, and during World War II, Hinds established the vocational division. Because
of the area's growth in business and industry, President McLendon saw the need for opportunities in vocational
education. He put in place a vocational curriculum with a wide range of offerings to meet this need.
Technical program offerings blossomed in the late 1960s, and an associate in applied science degree for two-year
technical students was approved. This degree offering was placed in the college catalog for the first time during
the 1968-69 school year. Today, Hinds offers more than 70 career and technical programs, including the new
fashion merchandising and pharmacy technology programs.
With McLendon's retirement in 1965, Hinds inaugurated Robert M. Mayo as its fifth president. Enrollment,
programs and services continued to increase, creating a need for more facilities. In 1970 Hinds opened the Jackson
Branch, located at 3925 Sunset Drive, and continued its growth with the construction and opening of the Banks
Building at the Vicksburg-Warren County Branch in 1975. The Annex Building was also added to this Branch in
1980.
Dr. Clyde Muse became the president of the institution in 1978 with the retirement of Mayo. During his first years
as the college leader, Hinds' enrollment soared over the 10,000 mark. This represented the largest single
institution enrollment at any state community college. Currently, Hinds is the largest community college in the
state with 19,500 students.
In 1982, Utica Junior College, under federal court order, merged with Hinds to form an educational institution of
even greater prosperity in enrollment, facilities, program offerings and community service. The merger also saw an
increased diversity in options available to students.

The rich history of Utica dates back to 1903 when Dr. William H. Holtzclaw, a native of Alabama, founded the Utica
Normal and Industrial Institute as a private school. For 40 years, Holtzclaw led this school as it taught students how
to read and write, as well as to work with their hands.
In the early 1940s, Holtzclaw handed the leadership of the institute to his son, William, who remained at its helm
until 1946 when J.W. Grantham became superintendent. Grantham served at Utica until 1951. At this point, J.D.
Boyd became the third president, and during his fourth year the institute was recognized by the state Legislature
as Utica Institute. Boyd continued in his position until 1957 when Dr. Walter Washington became president. Under
the subsequent guidance one year later of J. Louis Stokes, the institute became known as Utica Junior College and
joined the other state-funded, two-year colleges in working to meet the needs of the state's citizens. Stokes
remained president until the Utica/Hinds merger in 1982.
Today, the Utica Campus offers academic, technical and career programs to its students, along with residence life
made possible with the addition of the B.E. Lewis, Maggie Dunson and Newton-Walker buildings. A Fine Arts
Complex serving both students and the community opened in 2007.
In 1982, the Jackson Campus-Nursing/Allied Health Center at 1750 Chadwick Drive was added to the existing
Jackson Branch on Sunset Drive to form a comprehensive Jackson Campus. After adding the Annex Building in
1992, the Jackson Branch became known as the Jackson Campus-Academic/Technical Center. Today, the Jackson
Campus features diverse curriculums ranging from academic and technical courses at the Academic/Technical
Center to nursing and allied health programs at the Nursing/Allied Health Center.
The year 1983 saw Hinds open its Pearl-Rankin Vocational/Career Center to offer courses to Rankin County high
school students. Known today as the Rankin Campus, this Hinds location also serves college students and has the
largest number of commuters in the college district enrolled in academic, technical and career programs. Facilities
at this location include the Academic Library Building (1988), Academic/Technical Building (1990), George Wynne
Hall (1991), Student Services Building (1992), and the Administration/Classroom Building (2001), which was
purchased from a former church then located there, and the Career & Technical Building (2009), about three miles
away from the main campus. The campus' land doubled in 2007 with the addition of 60 acres. A new multipurpose building is planned for the campus.
To reflect its commitment to meet the educational needs of everyone in the Hinds district, Hinds Junior College
changed its name to Hinds Community College in 1987. Recent high school graduates, adults working on a second
career, industry employees who are upgrading skills and those who are taking classes just for fun are letting Hinds
make a difference in their lives.
Growth in business and industry saw the institution incorporate what is now the Division of Economic
Development and Training in 1988 to provide customized training and services for businesses, industries,
government agencies and community organizations. Through high-tech computer training, small business
development workshops, corporate leadership training and a Workforce Development Center, this division works
to expand the state's economic base. The demand for job-specific training has seen the Division of Economic
Development and Training grow tremendously over the years. In 1996, the Eagle Ridge Conference Center opened
on the Raymond Campus. Eagle Ridge, an $8 million facility, is equipped with hotel accommodations, meeting
rooms and state-of-the-art technology, which includes satellite up-links and down-links, video conferencing and
Internet.
In 1990, the Vicksburg-Warren County Branch added another learning facility known as the MultiPurpose Building,
to serve high school graduates and adult learners who want to study in academic, technical and career programs.
This site achieved campus status in 2002.
In March 1998, Cain Hall, the flagship building on the Raymond Campus, was destroyed by fire. Listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, the 72-year-old, 32,985 sq. ft. building was one of the two oldest remaining
structures on the campus. Prior to 1982, when it was named in honor of the college's second president, G.J. Cain,
the building was known as Main Auditorium. Because of this structure's demise, the college undertook its first
major fundraising drive - The Campaign for Hinds. The successful campaign raised not only funds for a new
394
building, but also for student scholarships, faculty/staff development, educational technology, and cultural
enrichment.
The college's Board of Trustees voted in 2001 to rename the building Cain-Cochran Hall, honoring the late W.H.
and Emma Grace Cochran who were longtime public educators in the state and had more than 85 years between
them in education. The auditorium is named for the late Claudia Atteberry Hogg, a well-known arts patron in
Jackson and Hinds County, who along with her husband Bill, was a supporter and benefactor to the college.
The Raymond Campus, where the college's history began, added a modern Wellness Complex in 2007 for students,
employees and the community. Other campus features include residence halls, an 18-hole golf course and a
learning assistance center which aids developmental as well as academically talented students. Slated to be
finished during the 2009-10 school year are the new band hall and D.G. "Sonny" Fountain Hall for administrative
offices, including recruiting and Hinds Connection. The Raymond Campus is still the largest of the six locations.
Hinds Community College takes a lot of pride in its athletic accomplishments. The Utica Campus' J.D. Boyd
Gymnasium is home to both men's and women's basketball. Hinds also hosts several championship athletic
programs on the Raymond Campus. Scholarship sports are offered for men in football, baseball, golf, track, soccer
and tennis; and for women in soccer, softball, track and tennis. The college is a multiple recipient (12) of the
prestigious Halbrook Award, presented to the state college or university with the highest graduation rate of its
athletes.
In 1999, the college became an active member of the Mississippi Virtual Community College (MSVCC), which offers
distance learning courses to students. Through the MSVCC, Hinds students can take courses from their institution
or from other state two-year colleges that are MSVCC participants. Hinds also offers "FastTrack" scheduling
options such as the two-week mini-term in May.
Hinds Community College continues to take the lead in offering quality educational programs to both traditional
and older students close to home at a price they can afford.
