Health Risks: Substance abuse and drug dependency are problems of staggering proportions in our society today. They are the leading cause of preventable illness, disability, and death in the U.S. and are estimated to afflict 25.5 million Americans. While alcoholism may develop in anyone, it tends to first appear between the ages of 20 and 40 and is more prevalent in persons with a family history of alcoholism. The number increases dramatically when one considers the harm done to the families of substance abusers as well as those injured or killed by intoxicated drivers or in drug-related work accidents. Alcohol abuse is often characterized by one of three different patterns: (1) regular and daily use, (2) drinking large amounts of alcohol at specific or irregular intervals, or (3) periods of sobriety interspersed by periods of heavy drinking. The disorder is progressive and can be fatal. If you recognize any tendencies toward alcohol abuse, please seek help as outlined below. Narcotics: (including opium, morphine, codeine, heroin, and others) – physical addiction, loss of awareness, respiratory restriction, and possible death. Depressants: (including barbiturates, Quaaludes, and others) – slurred speech, disorientation, shallow respiration, coma likely with overdose. Stimulants: (including cocaine, amphetamines, and others) – increased heart rate and blood pressure, possibly leading to death, increased excitation, loss of appetite. Hallucinogens: (including LSD, “mushrooms”, PCP, mescaline, and others) – illusions and hallucinations, poor perception of time and distance, psychotic and unpredictable behavior, often leading to injury and arrest. Symptoms may reappear some time after use. Cannabis: (marijuana, hashish, THC, and others) – Unrealistic euphoria, diminished inhibitions, disoriented behavior, diminished motivation, increased pulse. Counseling and Assistance: Assistance and information concerning substance abuse and its treatment may be obtained from the counselor’s office at the college campus. Also available to employees, students, and others are services from the following agencies: Potomac Highlands Guild, Inc. 1-800-545-HELP Appalachian Community Mental Health (Hardy, Grant, Hampshire, Mineral and Pendleton) 1-888-357-3232 or 304-478-2764 (Tucker County).

Students interested in IT Courses offered by WV Excite should contact: ASSESSMENT OF PRIOR LEARNING – GIVE YOURSELF CREDITWhy not give yourself a little extra credit? We know that you are very busy and time is in short supply. Juggling responsibilities of home and work sometimes leaves little opportunity to devote to studies. We also know that as an adult you already have a wealth of experience and learning. It is possible that some of your prior learning experiences can be applied toward receiving credit for your college degree.We have several options to offer for earning credit for prior college level learning experiences. Credit is awarded to students who can demonstrate that the learning and skills they acquired from work, non-classroom study, etc. are equivalent to the learning outcomes expected for equivalent courses at the College. In addition to credit awarded for courses transferred from other institutions, students may earn credit through challenge examinations, military training, portfolio evaluation of experiential learning and non-collegiate based professional training. Sometimes this credit may reduce the time required to complete a degree. So, why not give yourself a little credit? You deserve it! Stop in to talk with the Associate Director of Admissions, Monica See, in the HARCO Building (304-434-8000 or toll free 1-877-982-2322) to discuss your credit options. USING MILITARY TRAINING EXPERIENCE Active duty personnel or discharged veterans may be able to use military training to gain college credit. You could qualify for up to 30 hours or more of college credit towards a degree. Financial aid is available for qualified students. Contact Monica See at Eastern West Virginia Community & Technical College to arrange a meeting. Bring your DD214 and your training transcripts with you.

ADD/DROP POLICY
Note: It is strongly recommended that you talk with your instructor(s) prior to dropping a course(s). In order to insure you will receive a “W” (withdrawal), you must fill out a Drop Slip; otherwise you will receive a failing grade. Do not assume that dropping a course is your only option if you are having difficulty with meeting course requirements. Your instructor may be able to recommend a plan for successful course completion. By meeting with your instructor(s), you can explore possible course completion options. College policy requires all tuition and fees to be paid prior to the first day of each semester, term or class with a delayed start. Students registering on or after the last day to pay for early registration, including those students adding classes, must make payment arrangements at the time of registration. Registration will be considered incomplete until full payment is received and students will not be permitted to attend classes until registration is completed.Students who have a bona fide third party agency paying their tuition, with authorization provided in writing; who have a late financial aid disbursement; or who participate in the Academic Management Services Monthly Payment Plan will not be required to pay tuition and fees at the time of registration. Financial Aid students who have completed the Financial Aid Process and have an award amount that is equal to or greater than required tuition may have their accounts credited at the time of registration, provided that a completed Eastern deferment form is on file. Students who have an award amount that covers only a portion of tuition and any book costs will be required to pay the balance due within three working days of registration. Eastern accepts personal checks, money orders, or credit cards (VISA and MasterCard). Payment can be made in person at the HARCO Complex during business hours, by mailing a check or money order or by phone 1-877-982-2322 with an approved credit card. Full Refund: Students who officially withdraw from a course or all courses for which they have registered during a semester in the academic year would be eligible for a full refund if they withdraw prior to the start of the semester, prior to the first day of class with a delayed start, or during the first week of classes designated as the initial Add-Drop Period. Official withdrawal action requires that the student complete and sign the designated form and return it to Learner Support Services. Any other course(s) for which the student is registered during the semester or term shall not be affected by this action. Partial Refund: Students, who officially withdraw from all courses after the “full refund” period described above, shall be eligible to receive a refund of regular fees in accordance with the following schedule: Academic Year (Semester)
Summer Terms and Nontraditional Periods Refunds for summer sessions and nontraditional periods shall be established based upon the refund rate for the academic year and calculated using the following schedule:
If the percentage calculation identifies a partial day, the entire day will be included in the higher refund period. Brokered Courses: Students who are enrolled in brokered courses shall be subject to the Refund Policy and Schedules of the originating institution. This applies to all Kentucky and Virginia courses and is described in the Academic Calendar. FINANCIAL AID Qualifying for some type of financial aid to assist with college costs is easier than ever before. Whether it be a grant, a student loan or scholarship, funds are available through federal, state and private sources. Students wishing to renew their funds beyond the first semester must maintain Standards of Progress (specific guidelines are published on the back of all student award letters).

2008 Financial Aid Workshops:
You Need To Know Financial Aid students who totally withdraw will have their aid adjusted according to the Federal Return of Title IV Funds Policy. *Qualifications vary by scholarship Financial aid is awarded based on the assumption a student will complete the semester in which it was awarded. Therefore, Title IV guidelines (federal regulations) dictate financial aid eligibility (including Pell grant, Supplemental Education Opportunity grant, Stafford & PLUS loans) has to be recalculated for students who completely withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take an approved leave of absence prior to completing 60% of a semester. The College is required to recalculate the amount of federal aid a student has “earned” based on the following formula: Percent earned = Number of days completed up to the withdrawal date divided by total days in the semester. In the event a student has received a refund of Title IV aid, the student is responsible for returning the unearned portion to the appropriate Title IV program. This represents a significant change in the federal regulations governing refunds. The College must return Title IV funds to the programs from which the student received aid in the following order, up to the net amount disbursed from each source:
A student who owes a refund or repayment to any Title IV program is not eligible for continued participation in Title IV programs at any school(s) until repayment has been made.
