About the College
Tompkins Cortland Community College is one of 30 community colleges and 64 campuses in the State
University of New York system. Located in Dryden, the College serves more than three thousand students in
credit programs and another three thousand in non-credit workshops and customized training. The College
offers academic programs in business, computers, health, communications, liberal arts, criminal justice,
applied technologies, and human services. Specific degree programs include broadcast production,
engineering science, new media, sport management, and several liberal arts programs, including education
and general studies.
Tompkins Cortland attracts a diverse student body from most counties in New York State, several other U.S.
states, and nearly 70 countries. The learning environment is enriched by students of all ages and
backgrounds. About half of the College's graduates transfer as juniors to bachelor's degree programs at a wide
variety of colleges and universities around the world, including Cornell University and Ithaca College.
As a learning-centered college, Tompkins Cortland is strongly committed to building on strengths to achieve
student success. Our students study both full-time and part-time, and the college is a leader in online
education. The college operates extension centers in Ithaca and Cortland. The College is extensively involved
in our community. The College provides contract training for most major employers and provides an array of
non-credit workshops designed to build skills relating to computers, leadership and supervision, personal
growth, and many other areas.
As a community college, we offer both Associate degrees and Certificates. Some of these are occupationally-
oriented, designed to provide the skills you need to enter the job market immediately upon graduation. Other
programs are designed to provide the first two years of study toward a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college
or university. We also have partnerships with SUNY Delhi and Keuka College to allow students to earn
Bachelor degrees in specified programs at those colleges without leaving our campus.
The Associate in Arts Degree (A.A.) is used primarily for transfer programs that lead to the Bachelor
of Arts degree at a four-year college or university. It may be used for general liberal arts programs.
The Associate in Science Degree (A.S.) may be used for certain occupationally-oriented studies, but
is primarily designed to serve science or professionally-related programs that lead to transfer to a
Bachelor of Science degree at a four-year college or university.
The Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.) is structured as an occupationally-oriented
degree. However, it may be appropriate as a transfer degree to certain types of specialized
baccalaureate programs such the Bachelor of Technology.
The Certificate provides a condensed program in a particular field of study and does not require
general education courses. Certificate programs generally require only two or three semesters of full-
time study. Credits earned may be applied toward a degree if you decide to continue your education.

What is a Concurrent Enrollment Course?
Concurrent enrollment, sometimes called dual credit, refers to a course where a student is earning both high
school and college credit for that course, which is taught by a high school instructor who has been approved by
our College’s faculty. Tompkins Cortland offers these courses at no cost to the student or school district.
Enrollment in a concurrent enrollment (CE) course generates an official college transcript for each student
where grades, withdrawals, etc. are recorded. CollegeNow’s Concurrent Enrollment Program is accredited by
the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). NACEP is a professional
organization for high schools and colleges that fosters and supports rigorous concurrent enrollment. NACEP
serves as a national accrediting body and supports all members by providing standards of excellence,
research, communication, and advocacy. Information about NACEP can be found at www.nacep.org.
For more information on concurrent enrollment and other CollegeNow programs, please refer to our website at
www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow.
Faculty Liaison Program
CollegeNow is proud to have faculty who are committed to working with concurrent enrollment instructors to
monitor quality, consistency, and curricular alignment of CE courses. Faculty Liaisons improve overall
communication and encourage dialogue between faculty and high school CE instructors to benefit teaching
and learning.
Faculty Liaison Responsibilities
Review Instructor Credentials and Concurrent Enrollment Course Proposals.
Provide orientation for new high school concurrent enrollment instructors.
Conduct Site Visits to determine whether the CE course is aligned with courses on campus, with a focus on
the curriculum, pedagogy, texts, assessments, grading, and student readiness.
Review assessments and grades given in concurrent enrollment courses.
Design and deliver staff development for continuing high school concurrent enrollment instructors.
Hold individual meetings, as needed, with high school concurrent enrollment instructors.
If you would like to know who the Faculty Liaison for your course(s) is, please contact Rhonda Kowalski at
rmk@tompkinscortland.edu or refer to the Concurrent Enrollment Instructors section of the CollegeNow
website.
Instructor Responsibilities
Concurrent enrollment classes are college courses, and instructors accept the responsibility for maintaining
academic integrity and high expectations.
Instructors agree to keep their course materials and outline in alignment with the master course syllabus of
the matching Tompkins Cortland course.
A current course outline must be submitted to the CollegeNow Office each semester that the instructor is
teaching the course for concurrent enrollment.
A course outline must be given to each student no later than the end of the first week of classes.
Concurrent enrollment instructors and counselors must place students appropriately in CollegeNow classes.
Schools will assess student skill level, knowledge base, and preparation for the level of work required in a
particular concurrent enrollment class.
Instructors will ensure that students register appropriately for the course (credit or audit) and monitor their
class lists, including completing the registration verification step when required.
Students who are not successful in the first course in a sequence (e.g. ENGL 101) are not permitted to
register for college credit in the subsequent course (e.g. ENGL 102) in that sequence or other closely related
course. Such students should register as audits so that they only earn high school credit.
Instructors will submit grades online via myTC3. Instructors agree to follow the College’s grading system.
Newly approved concurrent enrollment instructors will take part in concurrent enrollment orientation prior to
teaching a CE course at their school.
6
Instructors understand that a Faculty Liaison will conduct periodic site visits and will make their classes and
materials available for Liaison review. Since concurrent enrollment students receive college credit, the
purpose of these observations is to facilitate alignment of course curricula, learning objectives, and
assessment methods.
Instructors will participate in College-sponsored professional development annually. If CollegeNow identifies
a pattern of absence over a three year period, a CollegeNow administrator will meet with the CE instructor to
discuss continued participation in the program. If an instructor is unable to attend the annual CollegeNow-
sponsored workshops, (s)he should contact CollegeNow to determine an alternative plan, which may include
professional development provided by the Liaison during a site visit, another professional development
acceptable to the Liaison, or a campus visit that include professional development activities.
Instructors are required to request and encourage their students to complete the Evaluation of Course
Instructor for each CE course section they teach. Results will be reported back to the instructors.
Failure to comply with any of the above expectations may result in decertification of the concurrent
enrollment course and discontinuation of the instructor’s role as a CE instructor.
Student Eligibility Requirements
Students must be approved by their concurrent enrollment instructor and counselor for admission into
concurrent enrollment courses offered in high schools through CollegeNow. Guidelines for student eligibility:
a. The student has a demonstrated readiness and maturity to be successful a college level course, including
the commitment to attend class regularly and complete substantial work outside of class.
b. The student has successfully completed any pre-requisite classes with at least a C.
c. The student has demonstrated, through previous high school work, the skills/knowledge necessary for the
concurrent enrollment class being taken.
Applying to Teach a Concurrent Enrollment Course
Refer to CollegeNow’s website under Concurrent Enrollment > Instructors > Start a New Course for materials.
I. Identify a course
Many instructors find that courses they teach can be adapted to align with college courses. For example,
many 12th grade Honors English teachers offer ENGL101 and even ENGL102, Regents Chemistry may
be aligned with CHEM101 and 102, and a government class may be adapted to meet POSC103
expectations. Appendix A lists all the courses which have ever been approved for concurrent
enrollment; please inquire if you are interested in a Tompkins Cortland course which is not on the list.
The best way to identify a matching college course is to review its Master Course Syllabus, which may
be obtained on the CollegeNow website or by contacting Rhonda Kowalski at 607.844.6503 or
rmk@tompkinscortland.edu. Many schools also seek to expand their offerings with courses that satisfy
SUNY General Education Requirements (Appendix B). With your principal and counselor, decide which
semester the course may be offered and who the target audience is.
II. Submit credential packet
Application to Teach a Concurrent Enrollment course
Current resume
Transcript(s) – All undergraduate and graduate transcripts – legible copies are acceptable
Concurrent enrollment instructors are expected to have credentials comparable to those required of
adjunct instructors teaching the same course on campus. In many cases, a Master’s degree in the
subject or related area is required, but consideration is given to relevant education and teaching
experience. Instructor credentials are reviewed by the appropriate Faculty Liaison. Minimum
qualifications are attached in Appendix C.
III. Once credentials are approved, submit course outline using CollegeNow template
Course outline for each Tompkins Cortland course based on the syllabus requirements, and other
guidelines provided by the discipline, typed in the Concurrent Enrollment Course Outline
template (Appendix D).
7
To assist you, our office will supply you with samples of existing outlines for instructors of the same
course, as well as the Master Course Syllabus and other materials the Faculty Liaison has provided. The
Master Course Syllabus is the curricular blueprint for a course. It covers the subject matter and
expectations for the course. In addition, Appendix E translates the College’s basic skills and
prerequisites from the syllabus for the high school environment.
The course outline must demonstrate that the instructor will teach to our Master Course Syllabus and
college expectations. This includes addressing the same course objectives and topics, using college-
level textbooks, and assessing and grading students by comparable methods. In some courses,
instructors are required to give the department-approved final exam. Instructors may be asked to share
research assignments, exams, or rubrics for review prior to course approval.
IV. Review and approval process
Credentials and course outlines are reviewed by the appropriate CollegeNow Faculty Liaison who will
provide information that will assist in the approval process. You will be notified by our office of any
changes that need to be made or of approval/denial. The course may not be promoted as a concurrent
enrollment course until the course outline is approved.
Course Outline
The course outline is an essential part of the educational process at any college, and our academic policy
requires the distribution of course outlines to students and to the Dean of Instruction's Office by the end of the
first week of classes. Concurrent enrollment instructors are required to submit their course outlines to the
CollegeNow Office at the beginning of each semester that they are teaching that course for concurrent
enrollment. The outline must contain specifics about the learning objectives, calendar of topics and
assignments, evaluation methods, academic integrity, and other instructor expectations. If you are making
changes to the outline from what had been initially approved by your Faculty Liaison, please highlight the
changes or describe them in an email/coversheet so that we may continue to ensure alignment.
Please be aware that these outlines have a reading audience much wider than just your students. Colleagues
and administrative staff, both within and outside of the college, read these documents, often in critical
academic situations. Transfer evaluations, reviews of course content, and decisions on student grievances are
all made through reference to these outlines. Therefore, your style should be somewhat formal, and your
information both accurate and complete.
Textbooks
Some academic departments require that our concurrent enrollment partners utilize the same textbooks that
are being used by campus faculty. In some cases, academic departments may approve of the textbook
currently being utilized by the high school for a particular subject area as long as the text is college level. If you
would like information on the title, edition, etc. of the textbook currently being used by the faculty for a
particular course, please contact the College Bookstore at 607.844.6587. With the assistance of our Faculty
Liaisons, CollegeNow staff will advise concurrent enrollment instructors of any required textbook changes.
If a school wishes to purchase textbooks for a CE course through the College Bookstore (managed by Follett
Bookstores), please contact the Bookstore as soon as possible to ensure sufficient quantities (607.844.6587 or
tc3@bkstr.com).
Our Bookstore provides a 10% discount for CollegeNow instructors, though schools often
receive better pricing through their K12 textbook representatives.
Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
As is the case on campus, CE course outlines must include a section on your academic integrity policy and
consequences for infractions. Our course outline template (Appendix D) includes the College’s policy.
Librarians are available for consultations on plagiarism, intellectual property and other academic integrity
issues. CollegeNow instructors have free access to SafeAssign, an online plagiarism detection system that is
built into the Blackboard course management system. If you would like to use SafeAssign, you will need to
have a Blackboard course set up for your CE class(es). Contact Rhonda Kowalski with a list of which courses
need Blackboard.
8
Grading System
At the beginning of the course, the instructor informs students of the criteria used to determine the final grade.
The following grading system is to be used to convert numerical grades to letter grades for the College
transcript. The breakdown of how grades are calculated (IE, number of points or percent for various
assessments) must be in the course outline and approved by the Liaison.
Concurrent enrollment students need to understand the implications of starting a college transcript:
Their grades in concurrent enrollment courses become part of a permanent college transcript.
Poor grades and withdrawals in concurrent enrollment courses impact on their academic standing and
eligibility for financial aid after high school as these affect their GPA and earned/attempted credit ratio.
Students should be made aware of any differences in the way that final grades will be calculated for
their college transcript grade and their high school credit grade.
Students should understand the meaning of dropping or withdrawing from a course and should be
aware of the calendar deadlines for each.
Grades posted electronically are immediately available to students through their myTC3 accounts.
Instructors should use the following grading scale for converting between numerical and letter grades, unless
your liaison has provided you with a different scale.
Grade Range GPA
High Achievement A 93 – 100 4.0
A- 90 – 92 3.7
Good Achievement B+ 87 – 89 3.3
B 83 – 86 3.0
B- 80 – 82 2.7
C+ 77 – 79 2.3
Satisfactory Achievement C 73 – 76 2.0
Below Satisfactory Achievement C- 70 – 72 1.7
D+ 67 – 69 1.3
D 63 – 66 1.0
D- 60 – 62 0.7
No Credit F or WF 59 and below 0.0
Other Grade Notations
Withdrawal W ---
Withdrawal Passing WP ---
Withdrawal Failing WF 0.0
Incomplete I ---
Audit X ---
W - Withdrawal: Given to students who officially withdraw before 60% of the total course time is elapsed.
WP/WF - Withdrawal Passing/Withdrawal Failing: WP is given for any course dropped beyond the 60% time
period if the student is passing the course at the time of withdrawal. Otherwise, the student will receive a WF,
which factors into the GPA.
I - Incomplete: May be issued upon the student’s request at the discretion of the instructor in situations where
a student has not completed the course requirements for medical or personal reasons documented to the
instructor’s satisfaction. If the student fails to complete the requirements before the end of the fourth week of
the semester following the semester in which the Incomplete was assigned, the grade will be changed
automatically to an F.
X - Audit: Students must declare their preference for audit at the time of registration. Auditing students do not
earn college credit. The course(s) cannot be converted to a credit or letter grade at a later date, etc.
Note: The most recent grade earned in a repeated course will be included in the final GPA.
All grades earned will be included on the student's Tompkins Cortland CC transcript.
9
Administrative Procedures
Articulation Agreement and Course Scheduling:
The principal of each participating high school will receive an Articulation Agreement describing the
CollegeNow partnership; these agreements need to be renewed at least every other year. Each spring,
counselors will receive a Master Course Schedule listing each course with the associated approved instructor.
Counselors, or their designees, are responsible for indicating the courses and the semester(s) the courses are
being taught for the coming academic year, as well as the start and end times for each class section. The
Master Course Schedule must be returned it to CollegeNow before the start of the school year.
Registration Process:
Concurrent enrollment instructors will receive a registration packet along with registration instructions in
accordance with the following schedule:
Fall courses (September - January) registration packets mailed in late August/early September
Full Year courses (September - June) and/or Spring courses (January - June) registration packets mailed in
late January.
All students in your high school concurrent enrollment course(s) must register.
Students wishing to earn college credit for the course must register using our online registration
process. Instructions and links to the online registration are on the CollegeNow website.
Students who will not earn college credit for the course(s) are required to “Audit” the course(s) through
Tompkins Cortland by completing a Concurrent Enrollment Course Registration Form (Appendix
F). Important: Auditing students only earn high school credit for the course. The course(s) cannot be
converted for college credit at a later date.
If you need help with the online registration process (IE, to reset passwords), please contact
CollegeNow at 607.844.6503.
Please distribute the CollegeNow Letter to Parent/Guardians (Appendix G) to all college credit-seeking
students in your class. The letter will be in your registration packet, as well as on our website.
Certificates of Residence:
All students are required to complete and submit an Affidavit and Application for Certificate of Residence
(which MUST be notarized) and any proof of residence that may be required. Some counties have very
specific requirements. These requirements are set by each county’s treasurer, not Tompkins Cortland CC. See
Appendix H for Certificate of Residence Requirements. These documents will need to be returned to our
office as soon as possible in accordance with deadlines that are provided to teachers each semester. Meeting
these deadlines is crucial and not doing so may affect continuance of concurrent enrollment approval. Forms
are included in your registration packet and available on our website at www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow.
Certificates are valid for one calendar year (IE, if a student obtains one in the fall, a new one won’t be required
until the following fall). Questions regarding Certificate of Residence policies and procedures should be
directed to CollegeNow at 607.844.8222, ext. 4311 or e-mail Vicki Dann at vad@tompkinscortland.edu.
NOTE: Students residing in Tompkins County are not required to obtain a Certificate of Residence. Students
living in all other counties will need to apply for a Certificate of Residence.
Registration Verification:
Once all concurrent enrollment registrations have been processed, concurrent enrollment instructors will be
notified that they must complete the “Registration Verification” and confirm student data on the class list via the
myTC3 site. Instructors must review each of their class lists to ensure that all credit-seeking and auditing
students appear. If a student in your class does not appear on the roster, or has an incorrect credit type, call
Rhonda Kowalski (607.844.6503) immediately to resolve the problem.
To obtain access to the myTC3 site, you must complete the Administrative Network/Data Access Form. Once
the instructor returns this signed form to the CollegeNow Office, the Registrar will authorize the request and
the College will e-mail the instructor an ID/Password. If you have difficulty logging into your account, please
contact Rhonda at 607.844.6503.
10
Dropping/Withdrawing Students:
If a student is enrolled in a concurrent enrollment course for credit or audit and needs to drop or withdraw from
the course, an Official Change of Schedule Form (Appendix I) must be completed [in accordance to that
academic year’s timeline] to avoid the student receiving an unsatisfactory grade on their college transcript.
Completed forms do not require the student’s signature, but do require the concurrent enrollment instructor’s
signature (or counselor signature). Forms must be faxed as soon as possible to 607.844.6535 or mailed.
A concurrent enrollment student may drop a course up until the date that 20% of the total course time has
elapsed. In this case, no record will appear on the student’s transcript.
If a student drops a class after the 20% time period, this is considered a withdrawal. He/she will receive a “W”
on the transcript if the form is submitted before 60% of the total course time is elapsed; this will not affect the
GPA. If a student drops a class beyond the 60% time period, the student will receive a notation of “WP” on the
transcript if he/she is passing the course; this does not affect the GPA. If the student is failing, he/she will
receive a grade of “WF”, which calculates into the GPA as a failing grade. In the case that the student needs to
WP or WF from a concurrent enrollment course, the instructor will need to indicate on the Official Change of
Schedule Form if the student was passing (WP) or failing (WF) at the time they stopped attending the course
for college credit. All withdrawals affect the student’s credits earned/attempted ratio for the College.
Submitting Grades:
Concurrent enrollment instructors are required to enter final grades online through the myTC3 site within
72 hours after conclusion of the course. Deadlines are noted in the academic year timeline.
Changing a Student’s Grade:
If a grading error should occur, the instructor should email gradechange@tompkinscortland.edu to make a
change in the student’s records. You must provide the student’s name, semester in which the course was
offered, the grade that is currently on file, and the corrected grade. Instructors cannot change grades through
their myTC3 account once a grade has been posted for a student.
Timeline/Deadlines (www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow/concurrent/is_participating_timeline.asp):
Each semester, instructors are provided with deadlines of the last date to add/drop/withdraw (with and without
academic penalty), when grades are due, etc. The current academic year’s “Timeline for Concurrent
Enrollment” can also be found on the CollegeNow website under Concurrent Enrollment > Instructors.
Approved Concurrent Enrollment Instructor’s Extended Absence:
In the case that an approved concurrent enrollment instructor will be out of school on an extended leave or
illness, the high school principal must notify CollegeNow immediately. After the notification has been
communicated, the high school principal is required to submit the following documents pertaining to the
“substitute” instructor for review by the CollegeNow Director and Faculty Liaison:
Completed “CollegeNow Instructor Application”
Current resume
Transcript(s) – copies of both undergraduate and graduate credits
After the above documents have been reviewed, the high school principal and “substitute” will be notified as to
whether the “substitute” has been approved by CollegeNow as an adjunct and if the individual will be allowed
to instruct the previously approved curriculum for concurrent enrollment.
11
Evaluation of Course Instructor
Tompkins Cortland students complete evaluations of their instructors each semester and, as part of the
College’s student body, concurrent enrollment students are asked to complete evaluations of their CE
instructors to fulfill this requirement as well as meet our accreditation standards.
We provide this evaluation instrument in the form of a short user-friendly online survey that includes a few
student demographic questions to gather information such as student gender, grade level, previous number of
concurrent enrollment courses taken, etc. along with a space for additional comments. There is a rating scale
for each (e.g. Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree) for each of the
questions listed below:
1. The course outline/syllabus accurately described the course.
2. The instructor was well prepared for class.
3. The instructor communicated course content in ways I understood.
4. The instructor stimulated my interest in the subject.
5. The instructor contributed in a positive way to my learning in this course.
6. The instructor displayed enthusiasm for the subject.
7. The instructor was receptive to my ideas and viewpoints.
8. The instructor was available to discuss course material out of class.
9. The instructor used effective examples to clarify course content.
10. My grades accurately represent my performance in this course.
11. The instructor demonstrated a sound knowledge of course subject matter.
12. The instructor graded and returned my homework, tests, and projects in a timely manner.
13. The tests/quizzes fairly evaluated materials covered in the course.
14. Overall, I rate this instructor as excellent.
To increase response rates, we recommend that you provide class time to complete the survey. If that is not
possible, please assign it as homework and ask students to print the “thank you” page as proof of completion.
We ask that students complete a separate evaluation for each course in which they are concurrently enrolled
even if the instructor is the same.
Please emphasize to your students the value of these evaluations. These surveys give our program a sense of
how courses are progressing. Most importantly, they provide you useful insight into how students perceive
your course(s) so that you can continue the practices that work well and make changes in areas that need
improvement. To encourage honest answers, assure students that their responses are anonymous.
CollegeNow is grateful to your students for taking this process seriously and for providing thoughtful and
respectful evaluations.
The results of these evaluations are tabulated in our office and the totals for your classes will be sent to you.
No individual results of these evaluations will be shared with school district administrators.
12
Transferring Concurrent Enrollment Credit
Every college and university has its own policies governing transfer credit. The credits that students earn while
participating in the Concurrent Enrollment Program are, of course, accepted at Tompkins Cortland Community
College. Credits are also accepted throughout the SUNY system, though there may be some variability
depending on the program chosen by the student. The credits are also generally accepted within public
university systems in other states. There is more variability among private colleges and universities. Surveys
show that about 92% of colleges that our students attend accept concurrent enrollment credits.
Credit is usually evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Transferability generally depends on the grade
earned, how the course fits within a student’s degree, and whether the college has a similar course. In some
cases, a college may accept some, but not all, of these credits. In other cases, a college may not provide
transfer credit but will exempt a student from certain courses (advanced standing). Some colleges have
policies to only accept college credits earned in courses that were not required for high school graduation (for
example, a 4
th
math or science course). We recommend that students check with colleges they are interested
in to inquire about their policies regarding transfer credits.
Generally, a minimum grade of C is needed for credit to transfer to other colleges. Note that the actual grades
earned in the courses will not become a part of a student’s grade point average (GPA) unless the student
enrolls in a Tompkins Cortland degree program. If a student performed poorly (or withdrew from many
courses) and continues onto a degree program at our College, those college credits attempted and grades
earned may negatively impact a student’s academic standing and financial aid eligibility.
In order to transfer credit, an official transcript must be submitted to the student’s college in accordance with
their policies. Transcripts include all coursework taken at the College, including concurrent enrollment and
online courses. Students may order an official transcript online, in writing or in person. The College cannot
accept transcript requests by phone or e-mail. There is a fee per transcript, though it is less when requested
online. Any outstanding financial obligations to the college must be resolved before an official transcript will be
released. Transcript requests will only be processed if the request is submitted by the student. Federal law
prohibits the release of student information to anyone other than that student.
Students may check their grades and print unofficial transcripts, for free, at any time through their myTC3
accounts. Many students include unofficial transcripts as part of college admissions application.
How to request an official transcript:
1. Visit www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow
2. In the box on the right-hand side, click on Request a Transcript.
Note: Please keep in mind that grades for concurrent enrollment courses are posted after the high
school semester ends. If a student is requesting a transcript mid-semester, some of their grades may
not appear.
To aid in transferring credits, it is advised that students save their concurrent enrollment course materials,
including course outlines and assessments, in case the transfer institution wishes to review them. If transfer
credits are denied, the student may inquire with that institution’s Registrar about appeals processes or other
ways to earn course exemption (such as testing).

Library Services
The College Library is located on campus in the Baker Commons. Instructors are encouraged to utilize our
library’s resources, and even bring their students on campus to receive research instruction and to gather
resources that may not be available in high school libraries.
Instructors and students (both credit and audit) are assigned a College ID number to access Library resources
and services remotely; in Fall 2016, we expect that one’s myTC3 login will allow remote access to most library
resources. CollegeNow provides ID cards to instructors; students see their number when creating their myTC3
accounts. To find one’s ID number, log into myTC3, click myInfo, then click TC3 ID Number on the left.
Resources include print books and DVDs, electronic books and databases, full electronic text of scholarly
journal articles, and streaming videos. Services include research instruction and reference consultations. The
Library will deliver print materials, whether books or videos, by mail at no cost. Additionally, librarians can
provide research instruction, highlighting college resources and addressing academic integrity, for example,
either online, by video conference, or in person by coming to your high school.
Visit the Library’s web site (www.tompkinscortland.edu/library) or contact TC3Library@tompkinscortland.edu
for more information or to schedule an in-person or a virtual visit. Information specific to concurrent enrollment
instructors is found on the CollegeNow webpage under Concurrent Enrollment > Instructors. Information for
students is found as a Quick Link on the CollegeNow page under Student Resources.
Blackboard Learning Management System
CollegeNow provides access and support for instructors who wish to teach a concurrent enrollment course
online, or incorporate online elements into their regular CE courses (a “web enhanced” approach). Our College
uses SUNY’s platform called Blackboard. Within Blackboard, you can share course content (course outline,
assignments, readings, videos, etc.), administer quizzes, check writing for proper citation and plagiarism using
SafeAssign, collect assignments, share grades, and hold discussion forums.
To request a Blackboard course shell for any of your CE courses, please contact Rhonda. When your students
register for your class, they will automatically be added to the Blackboard site linked to your CE section. You
may also contact CollegeNow to view the Blackboard course of your faculty liaison or another campus faculty
member (with their permission). To access the Blackboard course, log into myTC3 and click on Web Courses.
Benefits for Instructors
Concurrent enrollment instructors are eligible for tuition waivers for up to one course per semester on
campus, our Extension Centers, or online. Instructors may submit a request for their course selection to
Rhonda Kowalski at rmk@tompkinscortland.edu prior to the start date of the course.
Instructors receive a 10% discount on their meals at the College’s farm-to-table culinary center, Coltivare,
located at 235 South Cayuga Street in downtown Ithaca (607.882.2333; www.coltivareithaca.com). You
must present your College ID card; the discount applies to all in the party, but does not include alcohol.
We host campus visits, including tours, library workshops, and discipline-specific activities, for instructors
and their students upon request. If you would like to visit the College with your class, please contact Maria
Nissi at 607.844.8222, extension 4413.
We provide professional development opportunities for concurrent enrollment instructors. In addition to our
own workshops, we also promote workshops provided by other institutions in our region (and can help
cover their PD costs of attendance as funding allows). Instructors are also welcome to observe classes on
campus; contact our office or your Faculty Liaison to set up an individual visit.
Our College offers free access to an online career development tool called Career Coach. It is linked to
from our website. For more information on how to use it with your students, contact our office.
Several concurrent enrollment instructors “moonlight” as instructors for the College online, in the summer,
or evening hours. If you are interested in teaching an online, campus, or Extension Center course for the
College, let us know. Your application can then be forwarded to our Dean of Instruction to keep on file.
For additional information on any of these opportunities, please contact Rhonda at 607.844.6503 or visit our
website at www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow.

ualification Guidelines for Concurrent Enrollment (CE) Instructors*

Credentials, including all college transcripts and a resumé, are reviewed by faculty liaisons in each course area who
decide whether the applicant’s degree and course background, teaching and other work experience, and continuing
education in the field meet adjunct requirements. In addition to credential approval, course outlines must be aligned and
approved for the course to be concurrent enrollment. Additional application materials or meetings may be required before

Cours
e Description: Must be closely modeled on the description in the College Master Course Syllabus and note
whether the course satisfies any SUNY General Education requirements.
Course Prerequisites: Identify all prerequisites established by the instructor. These should be consistent with the
College’s Master Course Syllabus and any other guidelines provided by CollegeNow. These may include specific
courses and grades that a student needs in order to register for college credit. For “sequential courses”, a C or
higher is required in the prior course in that discipline; IE, a C in ENGL101 to take ENGL102.
Minimal Basic Skills Needed to Complete Course Successfully: All courses have basic skill requirements in
math, reading, and writing; some may have computer or other required skills. Refer to the College’s Master Course
Syllabus and other guidelines provided by CollegeNow.
Course Goals and Objectives: Identify the learning outcomes/standards for the course, consistent with the goals
and objectives listed in the College’s Master Course Syllabus. You may add to these if you cover additional
material.
Texts and Materials: Include print, digital, and audiovisual materials. The College Master Course Syllabus and
sample course outlines provide a list of possible materials. Some concurrent enrollment courses have specific
required textbooks and labs, which will be noted in the guidelines provided by CollegeNow.
Class Modalities/Alternative Learning Strategies: Briefly describe the teaching methods you intend to use
during the semester, i.e., lecture, discussion, audio-visual aids, labs, field trips, etc. If applicable, indicate how any
online course management systems (Blackboard, etc.) are being used in the class (for course materials,
discussions, quizzes, and assignment submission). If applicable, please indicate whether any students may
participate via distance learning.
Calendar of Course Topics: Provide a listing by either week or class session of the respective topic(s) that will be
covered during that time frame. Include any particular readings or homework assignments required each week.
Appendix D
Required Readings, Presentations, Written Assignments, etc.: Provide an explanation of each of the
requirements for the course (i.e., homework assignments, term papers, term projects, quizzes, hourly exams,
midterm exams, final exams, case problems, class participation, etc.). For each particular requirement, please
detail your expectations.
Evaluation/Grading System: Provide a summary of how the final grade will be determined using a point and/or
percentage system for each of the course requirements. The College Master Course Syllabus provides guidelines
as to assessments and their weighting. While some courses allow for points for participation and discussions,
points should not be given for merely attending class. Also provide your Grading Scale for converting from a
numerical to letter grade that is consistent with the grading system in the Instructor’s Handbook (page 8).
Statement of Academic Integrity: Identify your school’s policies and procedures and clearly delineate how you
address first-time and subsequent academic infractions within your course (including, but not limited to, reduction in
grade, elimination of grade, failure for the course). For reference, please refer to Tompkins Cortland Community
College’s statement of academic integrity below.
Tompkins Cortland Community College’s Statement of Academic Integrity
Every student at Tompkins Cortland Community College is expected to act in an academically honest fashion in all
aspects of his or her academic work: in writing papers and reports, in taking examinations, in performing laboratory
experiments and reporting the results, in clinical and cooperative learning experiences, and in attending to
paperwork such as registration forms.
Any written work submitted by a student must be his or her own. If the student uses the words or ideas of someone
else, he or she must cite the source by such means as a footnote. Our guiding principle is that any honest
evaluation of a student's performance must be based on that student's work. Any action taken by a student that
would result in misrepresentation of someone else's work or actions as the student's own — such as cheating on a
test, submitting for credit a paper written by another person, or forging an advisor's signature — is intellectually
dishonest and deserving of censure.
Make-Up Policy/Late Work: Provide your policy for submission of any late work and whether you provide make-
up examinations, with or without penalty.
Attendance Policy: Provide your policy on attendance, especially if it impacts the ability of the student to remain
in the course for college credit. Include that to maintain good grades, regular attendance in class is necessary;
absence from class is considered a serious matter and absence never excuses a student from class work.
Student Responsibilities: Your expectations about the involvement of students in the learning experience should
be positively and specifically stated here. You may also wish to include a statement regarding classroom
citizenship. Be clear about how the expectations may differ from high school in relation to classroom discourse,
assignments, role of student vs instructor, how to seek help from you, etc.
Additional Assistance: If tutoring or other resources are available, please indicate those here. Also indicate how
students can meet with you outside of class (i.e., office hours or by appointment).
Concurrent Enrollment Student Handbook: Please include the following statement in your outline:
Students should review the guidelines provided on CollegeNow’s website for information on college expectations,
College library services, and transferring credits. Student Resource links appear on the right side of the
CollegeNow homepage at www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow

Dear Parent o
r Guardian:
Your child is taking a Tompkins Cortland Community College course through the CollegeNow Concurrent Enrollment
Program at the high school. Through concurrent enrollment students get a head start on their degree and career
goals, strengthen their college applications and develop tools for future success. All of this at no charge to you!
Concurrent enrollment classes are part of a rapidly growing movement to strengthen the transition from high school to
college. CollegeNow is at the forefront of these developments with one of the largest, most comprehensive, and
highest quality concurrent enrollment programs in New York State. Our program is one of only 103 programs in the
nation to achieve accreditation by NACEP (National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships).
What you should know about CollegeNow’s Concurrent Enrollment Program:
- These are official college courses, which will appear on a Tompkins Cortland Community College transcript.
The transcript does not identity course locations, only semesters, TC3 course names, and letter grades.
- Academic expectations for the course are at the college level: rigorous course objectives; more work outside
of class; tougher grading standards; and the expectation that students will come to class every day prepared
to delve deeply into the material. The responsibility for academic success shifts to the student, including
managing time, keeping up on assignments and deadlines, and reaching out to instructors and other school
staff for help.
- We offer our concurrent enrollment courses at no cost to you or your district. Students residing outside
Tompkins County must have an active Certificate of Residence on file. The necessary forms from our website
or the high school instructor.
- The students may use credits earned toward a degree at Tompkins Cortland or transfer to most colleges
around the country, depending on the student’s major and grade in the course(s). Generally, a C or higher is
needed to transfer. Every college and university sets its own policies governing transfer credit. Students
should research the credit transfer policies and procedures at their colleges of interest. Surveys show that
more than 90% of colleges accept concurrent enrollment credit.
- Please review with your child, the Student Resources at www.tompkinscortland.edu/collegenow (links are on
the right). Here, you will find important information about concurrent enrollment, academic standards and
policies, transcripts, and services, such as the library and tutoring. You will also find information on
CollegeNow Online, which allows students to supplement their school’s offerings through online college
courses.
- Students experiencing difficulty maintaining a desirable course average may withdraw from the course in
accordance with the dates below to avoid receiving an unsatisfactory grade on their official college transcript.
Poor grades and withdrawals may impact academic standing and financial aid.
