ARCC is committed to assisting students with skills and knowledge below college level in upgrading their skills and in achieving a successful college experience. ARCC is committed to supplementing curriculum and broadening experiences by providing aesthetic, cultural, recreational, and intercollegiate competitive experiences for students and other members of the community. Choosing a Program of StudyCounselors and advisors will assist students in choosing one of the various kinds of programs – career, transfer, or general education – and help students select appropriate courses for their chosen major. Many students change objectives while attending college, especially during the first year. If students change objectives, assistance is available in choosing alternate programs. It is important to note that opportunities exist for trial; a student may be disillusioned in one area but successful in another. Assessment of Student LearningEach program of study has well-defined goals for student learning, which are available through the Counseling and Advising Services. These goals describe the knowledge, skills, and abilities that students will develop during the course of the program of study. The College is committed to a comprehensive program of assessment in which programs are evaluated based upon how well students achieve the goals for student learning. Student learning is assessed at the course, program and college level. This assessment process helps to improve programs by identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement. Knowing how they have improved on the goals the college has set for them also helps students chart their own educational and career paths. More information on assessment of student learning can be found on the assessment section of the college website, including descriptions of assessment activities at the College and reports of assessment results. Catalog Applying to Student’s GraduationCandidates for the associate degree may choose to fulfill degree requirements outlined in any catalog under which the student was enrolled, provided that the catalog was in effect not more than four years preceding the date of graduation.
