Check with the Financial Aid Office to see if you will be receiving additional financial aid funds. WHEN IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER? The last day for continuing students to register for regular full semester classes without paying a late fee is Jan. 14. You may still register for classes between Jan. 15 and Jan. 27, but you will be charged an additional late registration fee. Late fee charges incurred during late registration are not refundable. MAY SOMEONE ELSE REGISTER FOR ME? Yes, anyone may register for you. If you are a new or returning student, you will need to provide the person who is registering for you with a completed admission application and a course request card listing your first and alternate choices. Continuing students need only submit a completed course request card. Include payment of fees. DID I GET THE RIGHT CLASS? Please review your registration document immediately. If you find any errors in the class codes, class title, room and building numbers, or credits listed, please report the errors to the Registration Area, DASR 101-H. WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP ATTENDING A CLASS? You might have to pay back all the financial aid money you received for the current semester, you could receive a failing grade, and/or your financial aid/scholarships could be seriously affected in the future. Make certain that you consider all the financial and academic consequences carefully, and, if you decide to no longer attend a class, officially drop the class through the Registration Office, observing all deadlines. CAN SCHEDULE CHANGES BE MADE AFTER REGISTRATION? In consultation with your academic advisers, you may make online or in-person changes to your schedule after completing initial registration. The last day to ADD a course (with an instructor signature) is Jan. 27. It is important to visit with the Finanicial Aid office PRIOR to schedule changes as your financial aid awards may be affected. WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO WITHDRAW FROM ALL CLASSES? Students may withdraw from all classes until Apr 17 (except for courses carrying designated dates). If you need to completely withdraw from school and all courses are DACC courses, you may withdraw at the DACC Registration Area, DASR 101-H. If you have any NMSU courses, contact the NMSU Registrar s Office in the Educational Services Building. If you stop attending classes but do not officially withdraw, you may receive failing grades for all courses in which you are registered; additionally, you will be liable for all tuition and fees and financial aid awards maybe adjusted. WILL I GET A REFUND IF I HAVE TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASSES? Depending on when you withdraw, you may be eligible for a refund. Use the Registration Dates and Deadlines Table on page 5 to determine how much you may be eligible to receive. Refund percentages are based upon the total charges for the semester and not on the amount you have paid. All refunds are applied toward amounts owed. Late fee charges incurred during late registration are not refundable. NOTE: For financial aid restrictions, contact your financial aid adviser. MAY I REPEAT A CLASS? Yes. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the repeat policy to raise their grade-point average (GPA) in courses where grades of D or F are earned. A computable grade (not I, W, RR, AU, S, or U) will be substituted in the GPA calculation, though the original grade remains on the transcript. A grade of RR can be assigned only for RR-eligible skill-development courses (see current DACC catalog) for the original grade in calculating your cumulative GPA. For financial aid restrictions, contact your financial aid adviser. WHERE CAN I BUY MY BOOKS? The DACC bookstores are located in the Classroom Building, rm. 170 at the Espina Campus (3400 S. Espina, ) and in DAAR 102 at the East Mesa Campus (2800 N. Sonoma Ranch Blvd., ), and are open throughout the semester 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m., Monday Friday. A full refund will be given in your original form of payment if textbooks are returned during the first week of classes with original receipt. With proof of a schedule change and original receipt, a full refund will be given in your original form of payment during the first 30 days of classes. No refunds or exchanges without original receipt. E-BILLING Electronic Billing (E-Bill) is the official method for delivery of billing statements to NMSU Students.

16 16 Schedule of Classes How to Read the Class Listings Column Headings Column headings are explained below in the order in which they appear (left-most column first, far-right column last): The first column with the heading Begins, Ends lists the dates of short sessions (courses that do not begin and end when the regular semester does). The second column is headed with an asterisk (*). On any given line under this heading one of the following letters may appear: A, I, P, S. An A means that if you are absent from class, you may be automatically dropped and that could create problems with financial aid, among other things. The letter I indicates that you must get the approval of the instructor to register for the class. The letter P means that DACC students have enrollment priority that is, DACC students will have the first opportunity to enroll in a class with a P, and NMSU students will be permitted to sign up for the class later. An S indicates that a class is graded S/U; that is, you will receive either a satisfactory or unsatisfactory grade, rather than a regular letter grade. The third column is titled CRN, which stands for Course Reference Number. Subj. & Crs. # in the fourth column stands for Subject and Course Number. A typical Subject and Course Number looks like this: MATH 111, where MATH is the subject and 111 is the course number. The fifth column is titled Sec., which stands for Section. The letter in front of the section number indicates which college of NMSU is offering the course. In the case of DACC, all section numbers begin with the letter D. The sixth column contains the course title. The Time column shows beginning and ending times of each class. (See the section titled Times Stated in 24-Hour-Clock Time on this same page.) The Days column uses one-letter designations. (See the following section. The remaining two columns, Place and Instructor, show where a course is being held and who is teaching it. Abbreviations for Days of the Week The abbreviations for Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday have changed to a single letter: Monday = M Friday = F Tuesday = T (formerly Tu) Saturday = S (formerly Sat) Wednesday = W Sunday = U (formerly Sun) Thursday = R (formerly Th) Times Stated in 24-Hour-Clock Time ( Military Time ) The use of military time helps avoid confusion. For example, sometimes it s difficult to be sure if a class time given as 7:30 is in the morning or in the evening. By using the 24-hour clock, there is no possibility of making a mistake. As you can see in the table below, the numbers denoting the hours do not repeat after 12 p.m. Comparison of 12-Hour and 24-Hour Clock Time 12-Hour Clock 24-Hour Clock 12-Hour Clock 24-Hour Clock 6:00 a.m continued continued 7:00 a.m :00 p.m :00 a.m :00 p.m :00 a.m :00 p.m :00 a.m :00 p.m :00 a.m :00 p.m :00 p.m :00 p.m :00 p.m :00 p.m :00 p.m :00 p.m Student Confidentiality Form FOR NO RELEASE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION The following information has been designated as Directory Information, which is subject to release to the public under the Buckley Amendment (PL ), The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 ): Students name, address, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, classification, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student.

17 Spring When Are Online Classes a Good Choice? WELCOME TO ONLINE AND DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES OFFERED BY DOÑA ANA COMMUNITY COLLEGE In many instances, online and distance learning courses are the ideal solution for those who require greater flexibility. All that is needed are a properly equipped personal computer and an Internet connection. Although online and distance learning courses offer convenience of delivery, they can be very demanding. You will have to be resourceful and willing to manage your time and work effort to complete a course. Before taking an online or distance learning course, consider your own capabilities and answer the following questions: Am I a self-starter? Can I complete assignments on my own, following written instructions? Am I good at reading and doing research assignments on my own? Will my reading and writing skills allow me to keep up with my assignments? Do I have good time-management skills? Do I have enough experience with personal computers to download and upload assignment files, use an Internet browser, conduct online research, unzip files, format rich text files (RTF), and send and receive s with attachments? Do I have a reliable home computer with an Internet connection (preferably DLS or cable connectivity)? You should also set up an appointment with an advisor to determine whether an online or distance learning course is right for you. To learn more about online courses at DACC, visit It is essential that you obtain an NMSU username and password after you have enrolled. You may obtain your NMSU user name and password by visiting and activating your account. Distance Learning and Online Course Definitions Used in the Schedule INSTRUCTURE CANVAS, commonly referred to as Canvas, is a course management system that enables instructors to deliver a course to students via the Internet. A course can be synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous courses require online participation at a particular time, while asynchronous courses allow students to arrange their own time for participation via the Internet. Asynchronous courses, nevertheless, do have required deadlines for assignments. Typical features include a chat room, discussions, private mail, access to grades, online quizzes, a calendar, and assignments. HYBRID COURSES DACC Hybrid courses are those in which 50 percent of the learning activities have been moved from the classroom to the online environment. Hybrid courses combine the best features of face-to-face instruction with the best features of online learning. During classroom meetings, students interact with their instructor and classmates. During their online sessions, students are engaged in such activities as web discussions, blogs, chat sessions, communication via , and taking online quizzes. INTERACTIVE TELEVISION ITV ITV is a specialized, synchronous television broadcast system that uses the Internet to connect between sites. The classes are live with students and instructors sometimes at different locations. Students and instructors have the advantage of being able to see and talk with each other in real time. Interactive television courses require that students attend classes at specific sites around the state which have the capability of receiving and sending ITV broadcasts. Computer Requirements If you purchased your new computer within the last five years, it is probably capable of handling online classes. You most likely will not need to purchase any extra hardware or upgrades to run DACC online classes. A desktop or laptop computer with at least a 2 Gigahertz (1000 MHz) Processor 1GB RAM (memory) or more Windows XP SP3, Vista or Mac OSX 10.6 operating system or greater A minimum of 1024x600. That is the average size of a netbook. You probably won t want to view Canvas on a smaller screen than that. Ethernet (100 Mbps) or wireless ( b/g) internet connection CD-R/W, DVD-R/W or USB mass-storage device 80 gigabyte or larger hard drive Sound card and speakers Webcam and microphone recommended Get prepared for success. Attend a Canvas training session. Students are encouraged to attend our Student Canvas Training where students are introduced to the structure of Canvas and its set of tools. Tips, strategies and software tools are provided to prepare the student for online success. Visit for a schedule of our training sessions.
