1 DELGADO HVAC PROGRAM FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND INFO 4/21/14 (Note: some information here, being time sensitive, is subject to many changes) NEW STUDENTS: I have included a handful of items below, please read through it before contacting HVAC instructors for assistance. There is not enough time for us to read all of this to each student individually, and instructors do NOT have access permission to register students. The HVAC two-year program is currently only taught at the Jefferson campus. This is near Airline Hwy and Transcontinental Blvd. The one-year program is scheduled to be taught at Sid Collier on Louisa St. in New Orleans in Fall Although this is NOT a licensure program, you will be given review training, and in-house opportunity, to earn the EPA 608 license, 410a certification, NATE certification, ESCO student certifications, and NCCER module credits. Most of the HVAC program is taught at night. There are a few freshman day courses taught. About half of your HVAC class time will be spent doing hands on work in our shop. You do not need to buy or bring tools. This department also has its own set of rules, which you will be given a copy of to follow. At the bottom of this document you may find the semester calendar of class days and holidays. Pay close attention to the holiday breaks, and school-wide exam dates. Below is the two year Diploma program. Like any other college, this can actually take more or less than two years, depending on your individual pace. There is also a one year Certificate program, requiring completion only of the courses listed in the first two semesters of the Diploma program. HVAC Dept. contact info is: Prof. Kenny Ripberger, , kripbe@dcc.edu, 5200 Blair Drive, Metairie, LA 70001, Bldg. B Room 2

5 All HVAC students are expected to be computer literate, and may be advised to skip a course if computer training is needed. ADOT105 is a required program course for this training for all students starting in HVAC since the Spring 2013 semester and after. Tuition, policies, and enrollment follow the standard Delgado rules. Most of the following is best done at building 2 at City Park Campus, but some can be done online at Bldg. 2 is the largest building at the rear of the campus on Navarre Avenue. 1. You must enroll first 2. You can apply for financial aid and grant money 3. You must have immunization shot records to register 4. If you never enroll as an HVAC major, or you stay in the one year HVAC program, you will not be asked to take the placement test. You MUST TAKE THE PLACEMENT TEST FOR THE TWO YEAR PROGRAM if you do not have a college degree, or have not taken the test in over three years. This tests you on reading, writing, and math at a high school level. If you have a degree, you must get an official transcript from that college sent directly to Delgado s registrar. 5. You must visit the remedials department if your placement test scores require you to take remedial courses. You cannot take any course with a prefix of HACR if you have not completed remedials. You must take an orientation called OARS. The General Education Requirements which you must exceed for HVAC, are: ENGL061, MATH091, and READ If remedials are not required, you can then logon to LOLA, the link is found online on Delgado s home page. Read the tutorial on how to log in, which is found on the logon page.

6 7. If you are not an HVAC major, you normally are limited to between 9-12 maximum HACR credit hours, at which point you must declare HVAC as your major to take more courses. 8. There is also an online student handbook and course catalog on Delgado s homepage. Familiarize yourself with your program. A copy of it is printed further down this paper. EXISTING AND NEW STUDENTS: Students need to self-register their courses in LOLA. This link is on Delgado s home page. YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE COURSE SEQUENCE BEST FOR YOU, FROM DAY ONE!!! STUDY ALL OF THIS INFORMATION, TO BEST MAP OUT YOUR GAME PLAN! BE AWARE THAT YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR GRADUATION IN THE SEMESTER BEFORE THE ONE OF YOUR LAST PLANNED CLASSES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A HANDFUL OF COURSES ARE CRITICAL TO GET DONE FIRST, OR THEY WILL BLOCK YOU OUT OF ADVANCED COURSES LATER. DO THESE FIRST IF POSSIBLE!! THESE ARE TECH101, ADOT105, HACR121, HACR222, HACR116, AND HACR117. ANY OF THE OTHER COURSES WITH NO PRE-REQS CAN THEN BE USED AS FILLER COURSES AS NEEDED. LOLA: Your first time logging in, you will use your name for the name box. It does not matter on your name if you use capital letters. If your name is John H. Smith III, you will enter johnsmith. If there is another student with this common name of John G. Smith, then YOU might have been assigned the name johnsmith2, or 3 or such. Click Look up your user name if you think there might be others with your name. Your password is complex. Follow this example: If your Name is John H. Smith III, and you were born on July 16, 1987 then your password would be: js071687pass

7 Be careful that the P is a capital P. You will be asked to change your password immediately, BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WRITE IT DOWN! Once in LOLA, you click on student tab, registration, Look up Classes, and select the term. Just change what s in the subject box to Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, or the department of a different course, and click Search. Check off the courses you want and click submit. The non-hvac courses are in other departments will show as follows: TECH101 Technology HESC102 - Health Sciences ACCT111 Accounting BUSG115 Business Studies - General ADOT105 Administrative Office Tech If a course has an H in its section number, it s a Hybrid course (half class/half online). If it has a W, it s a completely online course. You might also want to notice the Campus code for each course, to know which campus the course is being held at: FD=Jefferson, FA=City Park, FC=Gen Meyer/WB, FE=Manhatten/WB, FF and FG are Northshore. You can also access your fee bill, financial aid status, placement test scores, and any courses you ve taken that are in the system. You may pay online for courses. Students who are near program completion should apply for graduation during the semester before their last anticipated semester, to be sure of courses needed. Each course has specific textbooks required for them. Please note that the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology is a special bundle from Delmar publishing, including the required CourseMate software keys, training simulation access, and a complete E-book for use on Kindle, etc. These may be needed for homework assignments for students, at the instructor s discretion, for students entering the program in Fall 2012 or later. Students already taking courses before that are not required to purchase it.
