Redefining Education at Clover Park
At Clover Park Technical College, we have a long tradition
of educating tomorrow’s workforce. In fact, for more than
75 years we’ve focused on providing a practical, relevant
education to build the skills necessary for students to
succeed in their chosen career field. Our hands-on learning
approach effectively simulates a real-world working
environment so students enter the workforce ready to apply
what they learned, and our Guided Pathways approach to
education provides even more support to students along the
way. With more than 40 programs in seven different
school groups, we offer the skills to achieve a career that’s
both fulfilling and in demand.
Welcome to Clover Park Technical College| 15

since the 1940s, its program and course offerings are
consistently reevaluated to provide the most relevant and
innovative training for in-demand career areas.

will be reviewed collaboratively with industry
partners.

Accreditation
Clover Park Technical College is accredited by the
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the
assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer
review process. An accredited college or university is one
which has available the necessary resources to achieve its
stated purposes through appropriate educational programs,
is substantially doing so and gives reasonable evidence that
it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Institutional integrity is also addressed through
accreditation.
Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges
and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution
as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or
program offered, or the competence of individual
graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about
the quality of opportunities available to students who
attend the institution.

Education as the authority on the educational quality and
institutional effectiveness of higher education institutions
in the Northwest region of the United States, including the
states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
and Washington, as well as British Columbia, Canada.
Clover Park Technical College first received accreditation
through NWCCU in December 1999.

20| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog

to provide recommendations about methods, procedures,
equipment, and curriculum and to ensure that each
program meets or exceeds the industry standards of that
particular occupation.

Assessment
Students entering technical programs that have academic
courses may be required to take the Accuplacer assessment
or equivalent test. Assessment results are used to place
students in the appropriate academic courses. The
assessment test is untimed but generally takes
approximately two hours to complete. There is no fee for
the Accuplacer if the student is admitted to Clover Park
Technical College; however, only the first two attempts are
at no charge. For students not admitted to CPTC or
students taking the Accuplacer for the third (or more) time,
the non-refundable fee is $19.
Assessment testing is not required prior to being admitted
to the college unless the technical program selected
requires that a minimum level score be obtained for
admission. Do not delay. Allow ample time for assessment,
educational planning, and registration prior to the
beginning of a quarter.
Assessment testing is available on a drop-in basis. No
appointment is necessary. See Enrollment Services to
obtain a student ID number. If necessary, pay the testing
fee in the cashier’s office and then present the receipt and
picture ID to the Assessment Center staff. To see
office/testing hours go to: www.cptc.edu/accuplacer.
If an assessment test has been taken within the past 24
months at another college or special agency, the test results
can be evaluated in the Enrollment Services Office and
posted to the student record.

Financial Aid| 27
Financial Aid
Clover Park Technical College believes that every
individual should have the opportunity to achieve their
educational goals. The Student Aid & Scholarships Office
is located in Building 17 on the Lakewood Campus and
provides financial assistance to students who would
otherwise not be able to attend school.
Financial assistance may be available to students from
various sources in the form of grants, scholarships, loans,
and employment. Aid is awarded according to federal,
state, and institutional guidelines. No student will be
denied aid on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,
sexual orientation, disability, or age.
All prospective students are encouraged to apply for aid.
Student Aid & Scholarships staff will discuss opportunities
with you and help you with the application process.
Eligibility is determined through a careful assessment of
the student's financial situation, taking into account their
and/or their family's income, assets, debts, number of
dependents, and the estimated cost of attending Clover
Park Technical College.
Eligibility
The following programs are NOT eligible for traditional
financial aid: Adult Basic Education (ABE), High School
Equivalent Exam prep, Quick Start programs, personal
enrichment continuing education, Running Start, and High
School Completion.
To qualify for financial aid, a student must:
• Be admitted to the college in an eligible degree or
certificate program;
• Have a high school diploma or High School
Equivalency;
• Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen;
• Be registered with the Selective Service (if required
to do so);
• Not owe any repayments on previous Title IV
assistance and not be in default on any federal student
loans;
• Demonstrate a need for financial assistance.
Financial aid is normally awarded based on full-time
enrollment (12 credits or more). If students plan to enroll
in fewer than 12 credits for any quarter, they must give the
Student Aid & Scholarships Office advance written
notification to allow for their award to be revised.
How to Apply for Financial Aid and
Application Deadlines
We strongly recommend that students submit their Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the
Federal Processor THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO OUR
DEADLINE DATES or, at a minimum, two weeks before
the deadline dates below. Most funds are available on a
first-come, first-served basis, so apply early.
To apply for all available federal, state, and institutional
financial assistance, students must complete the CPTC
financial aid application process. Read the instructions
carefully. Students who complete the application process
prior to the deadline for a quarter will have their
applications reviewed prior to the start of the quarter. The
application instructions are available at the Student Aid &
Scholarships Office and at www.cptc.edu/financial-aid.
1. New students must apply for admission to the college
and declare an eligible degree or certificate program.
2. Create a Federal Student Aid ID. You must do this by
visiting https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm. The FSA
ID allows you to sign the FAFSA or renewal FAFSA
online as well as access other Federal Student Aid
secure websites. If you are required to provide your
parents’ information on the FAFSA, one of your
parents will also need to create a Federal Student Aid
ID.
3. Complete one of the following and submit it to the
Federal Processor on the web: FAFSA or Renewal
FAFSA at https://fafsa.ed.gov/.
28| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog
After your FAFSA is processed, the Federal Processor will
send you a paper Student Aid Report (SAR), an electronic
SAR, or a SAR Information Acknowledgement, depending
on how you submitted your FAFSA and whether or not
you provided a valid email address on your FAFSA. If you
do not receive your SAR within two weeks of submitting
your application, call the Federal Processor at 1-8004FED-AID to check on the status of your application.
Remember you can always check the status of your file at
the student portal by clicking on the link to the Financial
Aid Student Portal at www.cptc.edu/financial-aid/portal.
4. Both continuing and new students must submit all
additional required documents by the deadline.
After the Federal Processor sends the Student Aid &
Scholarships Office a copy of your processed FAFSA data,
we will post information to the Financial Aid Student
Portal explaining what additional documents we need to
complete your file and/or what actions you must take (e.g.
CPTC data sheet, IRS Tax Transcript, Verification
Worksheets). If you don’t see that the Student Aid &
Scholarships Office has received your FAFSA information,
come to the Student Aid & Scholarships Office. Please
make sure to update your mailing address with both
Enrollment Services and Student Aid & Scholarships.
Submit all additional required documents and take care of
all required actions as instructed by the following deadline
dates to ensure your application is reviewed prior to the
start of the quarter you begin classes. If all required
documentation is not submitted by the deadline dates
below, your financial aid may be delayed, and you may be
required to pay your tuition, fees, books, and supplies until
your file is reviewed.

5. Complete Direct Stafford Loan Master Promissory
Note and required counseling.
First-Time Borrower
If you are new to the college, or have not received a
Federal Direct Stafford Loan from Clover Park Technical
College in the last year, you are required to complete
Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note
(MPN). To complete these steps, go to
www.studentloans.gov. The school will be notified
electronically within three to five business days from the
time of completion. You can check your student portal to
see when Clover Park has received notification that this
requirement has been completed.
Please Note: Students who are first-time borrowers at
CPTC must serve a 30-day waiting period and will not
receive the first disbursement of their loans until
approximately the 35th day of the quarter. This applies
only to the first quarter of attendance that student receives
loan funds.
Returning Borrower
Continuing students must complete Financial Awareness
Counseling every academic year by visiting
https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action. The
school will be notified electronically within three to five
business days from the time of completion. You can check
your student portal to see when Clover Park has received
notification that this requirement has been completed. If
you previously received a direct loan for a prior year, you
do not need to complete an entrance counseling and Master
Promissory Note. The Department of Education allows a
borrower to receive additional direct loans on a single
Master Promissory Note for up to 10 years.
Federal Direct Parent Plus Loans:
To read more information about the Stafford Loans, please
visit www.cptc.edu/financial-aid/stafford. Parent Plus
Loans are federal loans to help you pay for the cost of your
child’s education expenses. Parent Plus Loans are only
available for Dependent Students. To apply for a Federal
Parent Plus Loan, go to
https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action and
complete a Parent Plus Application and Parent Plus Master
Promissory Note. The school will be notified electronically
within three to five business days from the time of
completion.
Click “read more” under the “Apply for Federal Direct

Determining Financial Need
The amount of assistance students receive is based on the
student’s demonstrated need.
Cost of attending college – Expected family contribution =
Need
Financial need is defined as the difference between
educational expenses (tuition, fees, books, tools, supplies,
room and board, personal, and transportation) and the
amount the student and their family can afford to pay as
determined by the information on the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Yearly FAFSA Timelines
Students must apply for financial aid once every academic
year. For financial aid purposes, the year starts July 1 and
ends June 30 (Summer Quarter through Spring Quarter).
The FAFSA application will be available starting October
1 for the following academic year. If a student starts
classes in Winter or Spring Quarters, two FAFSAs must be
completed: one for the current school year and one for the
upcoming school year.
CPTC offers both federal grants (Pell Grant, Supplemental,
and Educational Opportunity Grant) and state grants
(Washington State Need Grant). Grants are considered a
form of gift aid because they do not have to be repaid,
provided students attend their classes, do not reduce their
enrollment on or before the 10th business day of the
quarter, do not make a 100-percent withdrawal, do not stop
attending their classes, and do not complete zero credits for
a quarter.
Federal and state work-study programs offer students the
opportunity to gain valuable work experience while
earning money for college. Both on-campus and offcampus positions are available.
Students receive their work-study funds in the form of a
paycheck from the employer based on their hourly wage
and the number of hours worked in any given pay period.
Because work-study funds must be earned, they are not
available at the beginning of the quarter to help students
pay their tuition and fees or purchase their books.
Student Loans
Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans are needbased loans. The term “subsidized” means the federal
government pays interest on the loan on the student’s
behalf until the student enters repayment.
Maximum Eligibility Period to Receive Direct
Subsidized Loans
There is a limit on the maximum period of time (measured
in academic years) you can receive Direct Subsidized
Loans. In general, you may not receive Direct Subsidized
Loans for more than 150 percent of the published length of
your program. This is called your “maximum eligibility
period.” You can usually find the published length of any
program of study in the catalog.
For example, if you are enrolled in a 4-year bachelor’s
degree program, the maximum period for which you can
receive Direct Subsidized Loans is 6 years (150% of 4
years = 6 years). If you are enrolled in a 2-year associate
degree program, the maximum period for which you can
receive Direct Subsidized Loans is 3 years (150% of 2
years = 3 years).
30| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog
Your maximum eligibility period is based on the published
length of your current program. This means that your
maximum eligibility period can change if you change
programs. Also, if you receive Direct Subsidized Loans for
one program and then change to another program, the
Direct Subsidized Loans you received for the earlier
program will generally count against your new maximum
eligibility period.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are nonneed based loans. The term “unsubsidized” means the
federal government does not pay interest on the loan until
the student enters repayment; students are responsible for
paying all accrued interest. Interest can be paid while the
student is in school, or it can be deferred until the student
enters repayment. If deferred, the unpaid interest that
accrues is added to the loan amount the student borrowed,
a process known as capitalization.
Scholarships
Many businesses, services, and professional organizations,
as well as individuals in the community, contribute funds
to be used as grants (awards based on need) or as
scholarships (awards based on merit, need, or other
criteria). Applications are accepted at various times
throughout the year. Eligibility criteria and application
procedures are posted on the Scholarship Board located
outside the Student Aid & Scholarships Office in Building
17 and at www.thewashboard.org and www.fastweb.com.
Scholarships are also available from the Clover Park
Technical College Foundation. For more information, visit
the Foundation website at
http://friendsofcloverpark.org/cptc-foundationscholarships/.
Agency Funding
Persons who qualify for assistance from the Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation of the State of Washington or
neighboring states, the Department of Labor and
Industries, WorkSource, the Washington State Department
of Social and Health Services, or the Employment Security
Department should contact and work with their funding
agencies before and throughout the enrollment process.

information as defined by the Buckley Amendment of
1974.

situation (scholarships, gifts, earnings, funding, etc.)
in excess of $200 that were not listed in the

aid in past quarters. It is also checked at the end of every
quarter aid is received.
The Satisfactory Academic Progress policy includes the
following:
1. Cumulative pace of progression towards degree or
certificate must be at least 66.67 percent.
2. Cumulative Grade Point Average requirement of 2.0

quarter. This applies to grant funds as well as student
loans. Repayments are computed in accordance with
federal and state regulations. Repayments can be owed to

Science, Nursing degree (entry-to-practice/basic BSN).
Pre-nursing graduates are prepared to apply to BSN
programs at various institutions across Washington state,
including the following baccalaureate institutions that are
participants in this agreement with the community and
technical college system: University of Washington,
Seattle; Washington State University; Northwest
University; Seattle University; Seattle Pacific University;
Pacific Lutheran University; Walla Walla University; and
the Washington State University Intercollegiate College of
Nursing (WSU-ICN), a consortium whose members
include Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga, and
Whitworth. Associate degree transfers to WSU-ICN are
admitted through WSU, not through the other consortium
institutions.
Meeting the minimum requirements for this DTA/MRP
does not guarantee admission a BSN program. Admission
deadlines for transfer institutions vary, and students are
required to meet the transfer admission deadline. Nursingrelated programs are competitive and may require a higher
GPA than a 2.0 overall. Minimum GPA requirements may
vary among nursing programs.
It is recommended that students pursuing the Pre-Nursing
degree contact their potential transfer institutions early in
their program regarding specific course choices in each
area where electives are listed.
To receive the DTA degree, students must have earned a
minimum of a cumulative college-level GPA of a least a
44| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog
2.0 and have completed at least 90 quarter hours of
transferable credit, including a minimum of 60 quarter
hours of general education courses as shown below.

CPTC does not offer every course each quarter. It is the
student’s responsibility to discuss sequencing and work out
their individual schedule with a program counselor, located
in the Advising and Counseling Office. Any
developmental coursework a student may be required to
complete may increase the program length.

degree coursework by adding additional engineering math
and physics, as well as hands-on work with cutting edge
industrial technology and practices such as IIOT, Digital
Twins, Sustainable Manufacturing, and Data Analytics.
The BAS-META degree has been designed to meet the
needs of students who want to become: Automation
engineers, Applications Engineers, Robotic Integrators,
PLC Programmers, and a host of other engineering
technology related job titles.
Modern life is filled with mechatronic systems: they clean
the water you drink, manage the car you drive and are
involved in the creation of nearly everything you see
around you. Every industry employs some level of
mechatronics. BAS-META graduates will possess unique
strength in the creation and use of complex systems as they
understand the interplay between electrical, mechanical
and computerized systems . It is imperative for the
sustainable growth of our community and region that there
is a qualified workforce to adapt to continuously changing
technologies. BAS-META graduates will be prepared to
fulfill these needs while driving innovation in our industry
forward.

Policies and Procedures
Academic Standards
Clover Park Technical College is committed to facilitating
the academic success of students. The primary purpose of
Academic Standards is to provide guidance in academic
processes and procedures, which govern student progress
through programs of study.
Student Academic Responsibilities
Admission to Clover Park Technical College carries with it
the understanding that students will conduct themselves as
responsible members of the college community. This
includes an expectation that students will obey appropriate
laws, comply with the rules of the college and its
departments, and maintain a high standard of integrity and
honesty.
1. Dishonesty: Honest assessment of student
performance is of crucial importance to all members
of the college community. Acts of dishonesty are
serious breaches of honor and shall be dealt with in
the following manner:
a. It is the responsibility of the college
administration and faculty to provide reasonable
and prudent security measures designed to
minimize opportunities for acts of dishonesty that
occur at the college.
b. Any student who, for the purpose of fulfilling any
assignment or task required by a staff member as
part of the student’s program of study, shall
knowingly tender any work product that the
student fraudulently represents to the staff
member as the student’s work product, shall be
deemed to have committed an act of dishonesty.
Acts of dishonesty shall be cause for disciplinary
action and be subject to the processes described in
the Code of Student Conduct WAC 494C-121060.
c. Any student who aids or abets the
accomplishment of an act of dishonesty, as
described in sub-paragraph (b) above, shall be
subject to disciplinary action.
d. This section shall not be construed as preventing
an instructor from taking immediate disciplinary
action when the instructor is required to act upon
such breach of dishonesty in order to preserve
order and prevent disruptive conduct in the
classroom. This section shall also not be
construed as preventing an instructor from
adjusting the student’s grade on a particular
project, paper, test, or class grade for dishonesty.
2. Classroom Conduct: Faculty members and
instructional administrators are authorized to take
appropriate action to maintain order and proper
conduct in the classroom and the cooperation of
students in fulfilling course objectives. See Code of
Student Conduct WAC 495c-121-070.
3. Any student who substantially disrupts any college
class by engaging in conduct that renders it difficult
or impossible to maintain the decorum of the class
shall be subject to disciplinary action as defined in
the Code of Student Conduct WAC 495C-121-050070.
Attendance Policy
The student is expected to attend all classes for which the
student is registered in order to gain the maximum benefit.
The instructor may establish an attendance policy for the
program. It is the responsibility of the student to know and
comply with the policy. Programs having established
attendance policies will include relevant information in
course syllabi. Financial aid recipients are subject to the
Student Progress Policy as stated in the Financial Aid
section of this catalog.
A student who does not attend the first two class sessions
and/or comply with the established attendance policy for
the class or program may forfeit the right to continue and
may be subject to administrative withdrawal.
Grades
The quality of a student’s performance is measured by a
grading system using grades “A” through “F.” The grade
for a course is calculated into a student’s GPA as 4 to 0
grade points. Faculty may choose to utilize or not utilize
the + or - designation with grades.
Each individual program establishes criteria for achieving
each grade based on percentage scores and specific
assessment criteria as listed in the course syllabi.
The grade points allotted to each grade are as follows:

WGU Washington
Western Governors University (WGU) is an online
university driven by a mission to expand access to higher
education through online competency-based degree
programs. WGU has flourished into a national university,
serving more than 40,000 students from all 50 states. WGU
offers several pathways for transfer. WGU Washington
actively encourages students to complete their associate
degree before transferring to WGU, understanding that
students with associate degrees are more likely to attain a
bachelor degree. WGU Washington and the Washington
Community and Technical Colleges executed a formal
articulation agreement in May 2011 to assist associate
degree graduates to transition into WGU bachelor
programs.
WGU Washington also recognizes that some college
students will enroll in WGU Washington before
completing an associate degree and, during the course of
completing their bachelor credentials at WGU, will earn
sufficient credits to complete an associate degree. In order
to encourage degree completion among Washingtonians,
WGU and the Community and Technical Colleges (CTC)
have advanced their partnership by offering a reverse
articulation agreement, whereby the CTCs will award an
earned associate degree for students post-transfer. The
agreement enables eligible students who transfer credits
from a community or technical college to receive their
associate degree (from a CTC) while enrolled at WGU,
once they have satisfied the degree requirements of the
Community or Technical College. WGU is accredited
through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and
Universities (NWCCU). To learn more about transferring
to WGU Washington, visit

Honors
The color of the honor cord has been changed. See
addendum for details.
The CPTC purple honor cord is worn during the annual
graduation ceremony to recognize students who finish their
coursework with the honors designation. The honors
designation on a student’s final transcript is based on a
cumulative GPA 3.75 or higher in all college-level courses
for those students earning a degree or a certificate of 45
credits or more. To determine honor cord eligibility:
Policies and Procedures| 293
• For students completing their program of study in the
current spring or summer quarters, the previous
winter quarter college-level GPA is used.
• For students who completed their program the
previous fall or winter quarters, the final college-level
GPA is used.
students to work towards an educational plan that will
assist them in making consistent progress. The following
Student Progress Policy and Degree/Certification
Completion Procedures will assist students with their
responsibilities to make progress towards their goals.
Degree/Certificate Completion Procedures
Students who meet the requirements to wear the purple
honor cord will be notified by letter and through their
student email account by May 20 of each year. The
graduation honors are different than the quarterly
president’s and vice president’s lists.
The college requires that students complete their degree or
certificate within 125 percent of the published length of the
program. The college will take the following steps to
ensure that students are completing programs within a
timely manner:
Other Distinctions
Step 1 When a student has completed the credits of the
published length of the program, registration will be
restricted until the student has developed a completion plan
in consultation with instructional faculty. The plan must
show that the student will be able to complete within 125
percent of the normal timeframe. If the student has
mitigating circumstances, such as a disability, they must be
documented with the Disabilities Specialist, and an
appropriate plan should be in place.
Students who receive a quarterly grade point average
(GPA) of 3.75-4.0 are eligible for one of the following lists
of distinction:
President’s List
Granted to students with a minimum quarterly enrollment
of 12 college-level credits in courses receiving grades other
than “V,” “W,” “N,” or “I” and a minimum quarterly grade
point average of 4.0.
Vice President’s List
Granted to students with a minimum quarterly enrollment
of 12 college-level credits in courses receiving grades other
than “V,” “W,” “N,” or “I” and a minimum quarterly grade
point average of 3.75-3.99.
Academic Honor Societies
Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American
higher education. Clover Park Technical College’s Beta
Omicron Gamma chapter is one of 1,200 chapters. Phi
Theta Kappa’s focus is on scholarship, leadership, service,
and fellowship. Students with a 3.50 GPA are eligible to
join Phi Theta Kappa. A one-time induction fee is required.
Please contact a Phi Theta Kappa adviser at 253-589-5780
for more information.
Student Progress Policy
Clover Park Technical College is a state technical college.
Tuition covers about 46 percent of the cost of a student’s
education. State tax dollars provide the rest. Washington
State Law (SB 5135. RCW 28B.10.695) requires all state
colleges to adopt policies that ensure students seeking
degrees and certificates complete in a timely manner.
Clover Park Technical College is in a partnership with
Step 2 At 150 percent of credits required for the degree/
certificate, the student will be blocked from further
registration. The student may appeal to the appropriate
dean for special circumstances.
Academic Progress
These policies are intended to support a successful learning
experience at Clover Park Technical College.
At the conclusion of each quarter, the grades of all students
enrolled in that quarter will be reviewed. A student whose
quarterly grade point average is less than 2.0 and who is
taking six or more credits that quarter will be notified of
his/her standing. Through this process the student will be
alerted to potential problems in a timely manner, so that
the student may take effective corrective action. Any
student whose quarterly GPA is under 2.0 will be
encouraged to take advantage of the assistance provided by
the college to help ensure student success.
The following guidelines have been established to ensure
that academic standards are maintained:
Step 1 The first quarter in which the grade point average
is less than 2.0 will cause the student to receive notification
of the level of academic achievement. The student may not
be allowed to continue to the next course in accordance
with established program prerequisites.
Step 2 If the student experiences two consecutive quarters
294| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog
of work in which the GPA is less than 2.0 (each quarter),
the student will be placed on academic probation for the
following quarter of attendance.
Step 3 If a student experiences three consecutive quarters
of work in which the GPA is less than 2.0 (each quarter),
the student will be suspended from attendance at the
college and may not register for the next academic quarter.
Students placed on academic probation or suspension must
meet with their program adviser prior to future quarter
registration. Financial Aid recipients are subject to the
Student Progress Policy.
Reinstatement to the college, following one quarter of
academic suspension, requires the student to meet with
Advising & Counseling staff to develop an educational
plan. Upon reinstatement, the student will resume classes
on academic probation.
Student Concerns
General Information
It is the policy of Clover Park Technical College to provide
students with an opportunity to resolve any alleged
violation of college academic policy, procedure, or
regulation, or to resolve any alleged case of inequitable
treatment. The college encourages informal resolution of
disputes whenever possible, and also maintains fair and
equitable procedures for formally expressing and resolving
concerns. Student rights are protected in the concern
process, and the college must ensure that a student will not
suffer repercussions because they choose to file a concern.
The following are guidelines for determining who can
assist a student with a concern regarding:
Academic/Instructional
Division
Dean/Instruction
Accommodations
Division of Student
Success
Disciplinary/Student Code of
Division of Student
Conduct
Success
Discrimination/Sexual
Human Resources
Harassment
Facilities/Bookstore

Financial Aid
Financial Aid Office
Financial (College)
Business Office
Federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, in addition to
policies, regulations, and procedures adopted by the State
Board for Community and Technical Colleges, shall not be
grievable matters. Students shall use Chapter WAC 495C300 and 495C-310 for grievances pertaining to sexual
discrimination or equal opportunity discrimination based
upon disability.
Academic Appeal Process
The process outlined below is for Academic concerns or
Grade Appeals. It is not to be used for filing an appeal
based on the outcome of a summary or disciplinary
proceeding, financial appeal, or discrimination/harassment
complaint as described in other areas of the College
Catalog or Student Handbook.
Note: Academic Appeal must be made within 15
instructional days following the issuance of the grade or
decision.
Step 1 Before a student can file a written concern or
appeal, they should try to resolve the problem informally.
The college expects the student to address their concern by
first meeting with and/or discussing the concern with the
college employee(s) whose actions resulted in the concern,
and documenting the discussion with notes. If not resolved,
the student may proceed to the next step.
Step 2 If, within five instructional days following the
informal resolution attempt, the student feels a satisfactory
resolution has not been achieved, the student may file a
formal written concern with the employee’s immediate
supervisor or department chair. The concern or appeal
must be in writing, utilizing the appropriate form, and
include the documentation from Step 1 as well as any
supporting documentation as an attachment. A “Student
Academic Concern Form” or “Grade Appeal Form” is
available online, or from any instructor, division dean’s
office, or the Advising Center.
Step 3 Within five instructional days after receiving the
concern or appeal in writing, the supervisor (or designee)
will be responsible to investigate the concern. The
supervisor (or designee) will provide the employee or
instructor with a copy of the written concern or appeal; the
employee or instructor will have five instructional days in
which to provide a written response to their
supervisor/dean.
Step 4 The supervisor (or designee) will convene a
meeting of both parties in an attempt to resolve the issue,
provided that the parties agree to meet for this purpose. In
the event that one or both parties do not agree to meet, the
supervisor (or designee) will investigate and render a
decision based on the written statements and testimony of
the parties. The supervisor (or designee) will impart this
decision in writing to both parties within five instructional
days. If the student feels a satisfactory resolution has not
Policies and Procedures| 295
been achieved, the student may proceed to the next step.
Degree and Certificate Completion
Step 5 Within five instructional days after Step 4, the
student will notify the appropriate vice president, in
writing, to request a hearing before the Appeal Review
Committee. The committee will be chaired by the Vice
President for Instruction (or designee) and will also include
the Vice President for Student Success (or designee), two
student representatives appointed by the Student Council,
and two faculty members appointed by the Faculty Union.
Clover Park Technical College grants four bachelor of
applied science degrees and three associate degrees: the
Associate of Applied Technology degree, the Associate of
Applied Science-T degree, and the Associate of Arts and
Sciences (DTA/ MRP). These degrees are defined in this
catalog, and the degree programs are listed in the Programs
& Courses section.
Step 6 Within 10 instructional days, the Appeal Review
Committee will meet with the student, instructor or
employee, and director, department chair, or supervisor, to
hear the points at issue in the appeal. The committee will
provide its written decision to all parties within five
instructional days following the hearing. The decision is
final and may not be reviewed.
The process above is used for filing a concern in which a
resolution has been requested that is specific to the student
filing. If a student wishes to file an official complaint that
has no personal resolution, or wishes to remain
anonymous, that complaint will not follow the above steps.
Academic Forgiveness (Fresh Start)
A student may petition the Associate Dean for Student
Success to have sub-standard Clover Park Technical
College course work set aside.
A certificate is awarded to students who satisfactorily
complete the competencies and requirements for programs
that are not defined as degree programs. General Education
courses are required in certificate programs of 45 credits or
more.
Courses numbered below 100 are not considered college
level and do not meet degree/certificate requirements.
Standard for Completion
To be eligible for completion, a student must have:
1. A cumulative grade point average of no less than 2.0;
2. Met all of the program requirements;
3. Completed 25 percent of the technical coursework at
Clover Park Technical College
4. Completed the Application for Degree/Certificate
• The student must be currently enrolled.
Application for Degree or Certificate
• The forgiveness date must be at least two years prior
to the current quarter.
To receive a bachelor’s degree, associate degree, or
certificate from Clover Park Technical College, a student
must complete an Application for Degree or Certification
form available from the Enrollment Services Office or
online at MyCC. The application should be completed by
the fourth week of the quarter in which the student expects
to complete their degree/certificate. For a student
completing a degree or certificate who does not complete
the Application for Degree or Certificate form, the degree
and/or the certificate will be automatically awarded.
• All course work taken prior to the forgiveness will be
set aside. The student may not elect to retain
individual courses and set aside others.
• The academic forgiveness option may be exercised
only once. Forgiven course work will remain on the
transcript but will not be used in determining the
cumulative grade point average or the calculation of
honors. Forgiven course work may not be reinstated
or used to satisfy prerequisites or degree/diploma
requirements.
Students are advised that a decision to set aside course
work may or may not be honored by other educational
institutions, since each institution interprets transcripts
according to its own policies.
Commencement Ceremony
Annually, Clover Park Technical College will host an
annual commencement ceremony to honor any eligible
student completing a degree, certificate, high school
diploma, or High School Equivalency exam granted
through Clover Park Technical College at any time during
the current academic year may participate. To find out
more about the annual ceremony and to register to attend,
please visit: www.cptc.edu/graduation.

capricious, but are responsible for meeting the
standards of academic performance established by
each of their instructors.
d. Students have the right to a learning environment
which is free from unlawful discrimination,
inappropriate and disrespectful conduct, and any
and all harassment, including sexual harassment.
2. Due process.

respondent’s conduct may warrant imposition of a
dismissal or a disciplinary suspension of more than
ten instructional days, he/she shall refer the matter to
the student conduct committee for a disciplinary
hearing.

of Initial Decision
1. A party who is aggrieved by the committee’s initial

§ 495C-121-180, filed 5/19/14, effective 6/19/14.]
Summary Suspension
1. Summary suspension is a temporary exclusion from
specified college facilities and denial of access to all
activities or privileges for which a respondent might
otherwise be eligible, while an investigation,
disciplinary procedures, and/or an appeal are pending.
2. The student conduct officer may impose a summary
suspension if there is probable cause to believe, i.e.,
there are reasonable grounds for believing, that the
respondent has committed misconduct under WAC
495C-121-050 and that either:
a. The situation involves an immediate danger to the
public health, safety, or welfare which requires
immediate college action; or
b. The student’s behavior poses an ongoing threat of
substantial disruption of, or interference with, the
operations of the college.
3. A summary suspension shall be effective when the
respondent receives written or oral notice of that
suspension. If oral notice is given, a written
notification must be served on the respondent within
two business days of the oral notice. The written
notification shall be entitled “Notice of Summary
Suspension” and shall include:
a. The reasons for imposing the summary
suspension, including a description of the
misconduct and specification of the provisions of
310| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog
WAC 495C-121-050 allegedly violated;
b. The date, time, and location when the respondent
must appear before the conduct review officer for
a hearing on the summary suspension; and
c. The conditions, if any, under which the
respondent may physically access college
facilities or communicate with members of the
college community. If the respondent is
prohibited from entering college facilities, he/she
may be given a notice against trespass which
warns that his/her privilege to enter college
facilities has been withdrawn, subject to any
specified exceptions such as an invitation to meet
with the student conduct officer or conduct review
officer or to attend a scheduled disciplinary
hearing, and that he/she shall be considered to be
trespassing and subject to arrest for criminal
trespass for any violation.
4. The hearing before the conduct review officer shall
be scheduled as soon as practicable after service of
the notice of summary suspension. If the respondent
fails to appear at the scheduled time, the conduct
review officer may order that the summary
suspension remain in place. During the summary
suspension hearing, the issues shall be:
a. Whether the requirements under subsection (2) of
this section are satisfied; and
b. Whether the summary suspension should be
continued pending the conclusion of disciplinary
proceedings and/or should be less restrictive in
scope.
5. As soon as practicable following the hearing, the
conduct review officer shall issue, and serve on the
respondent and student conduct officer, a written
decision which addresses the issues at the hearing.
The conduct review officer shall also provide
information about the decision, to the extent legally
permissible under FERPA, to all persons and offices
who may be bound or protected by it.
6. The respondent may request a de novo review of the
summary suspension hearing decision by the student
conduct committee. The review will be scheduled
promptly. Either party may request the review to be
consolidated with any other disciplinary proceeding
arising from the same matter.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 28B.50.140. WSR 14-11-070,

notice of the discipline decision provided for in WAC
495C-121- 220(5). The notice of appeal may include
a written statement setting forth the grounds of
appeal. Failure to file a timely notice of appeal
constitutes a waiver of this right and the disciplinary
decision shall be deemed final.
3. If the respondent timely appeals a decision imposing
discipline for a sexual misconduct violation, the
college shall notify the complainant of the appeal and
provide the complainant an opportunity to intervene
as a party to the appeal.
4. Except as otherwise specified in this supplemental
procedure, a complainant who timely appeals a
disciplinary decision or who intervenes as a party to
the respondent’s appeal of a disciplinary decision

written notice of the attorney’s identity and
participation with the committee chair, and with
copies to the respondent and the student conduct
officer.
8. The complainant and respondent shall not directly

behalf.

testimony, and/or evidence are presented to the
student conduct committee.
10. On the same date as the initial decision is served
on the respondent under WAC 495C-121-120 or
495C- 121-170, the conduct review officer or

Associate in Pre-Nursing
DIRECT TRANSFER AGREEMENT/MAJOR
RELATED PROGRAM (DTA/MRP)
Designed for the student who plans to transfer to a
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at a fouryear university, the Associate in Pre-Nursing offers a broad
spectrum of academic courses that prepare students for
upper-division coursework leading to the Bachelor of
Science, Nursing degree (entry-to-practice/basic BSN).
Pre-nursing graduates are prepared to apply to BSN
programs at various institutions across Washington state,
including the following baccalaureate institutions that are
participants in this agreement with the community and
technical college system: University of Washington,
Seattle; Washington State University; Northwest
University; Seattle University; Seattle Pacific University;
Pacific Lutheran University; Walla Walla University; and
the Washington State University Intercollegiate College of
Nursing (WSU-ICN), a consortium whose members
include Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga, and
Whitworth. Associate degree transfers to WSU-ICN are
admitted through WSU, not through the other consortium
institutions.
Meeting the minimum requirements for this DTA/MRP
does not guarantee admission a BSN program. Admission
deadlines for transfer institutions vary, and students are
required to meet the transfer admission deadline. Nursingrelated programs are competitive and may require a higher
GPA than a 2.0 overall. Minimum GPA requirements may
vary among nursing programs.
It is recommended that students pursuing the Pre-Nursing
degree contact their potential transfer institutions early in
their program regarding specific course choices in each
area where electives are listed.
To receive the DTA degree, students must have earned a
minimum of a cumulative college-level GPA of a least a
2.0 and have completed at least 90 quarter hours of
transferable credit, including a minimum of 60 quarter
hours of general education courses as shown below.
326| Clover Park Technical College Academic Catalogs 2020-2021 Academic Catalog
CPTC does not offer every course each quarter. It is the
student’s responsibility to discuss sequencing and work out
their individual schedule with a program counselor, located
in the Advising and Counseling Office. Any
developmental coursework a student may be required to
complete may increase the program length.

Advising Notes
1. Due to high interest and limited space in BSN
programs, admission to all BSN programs is highly
competitive and therefore students should be
informed that the Pre-Nursing DDTA/MRP is highly
transferable to all Washington public and many
Washington private baccalaureate institutions.
2. Students should check with their potential transfer
institutions for admission requirements, some
admission requirements may not be met by this
DTA/MRP. Some transfer institutions may require
additional courses before starting the BSN.
3. Some transfer institutions may require additional
courses before starting the BSN.
4. Students must apply to graduate at the community or
technical college to be awarded this DTA/MRP.
5. Many BSN programs recommend a public speaking
course. Students should contact their transfer
institution(s) to find out if a public speaking course is
preferred.
6. Students are encouraged to consult with the transfer
institution(s) regarding the Humanities courses that
best prepare them for a BSN and for admission to the
institution(s).
7. Students are encouraged to take courses that provide
them with an understanding of and sensitivity to
human diversity.
8. Introductory survey courses or review courses do not
meet the content level expectations for the Natural
Sciences distribution area. Six-credit courses may be
used in place of five-credit courses in the Natural
Sciences distribution area. Extra credits may apply
toward the Electives distribution area.
9. In order to better prepare for successful transfer,
students are encouraged to consult with the
institution(s) to which they wish to transfer regarding
the humanities courses and other electives that best
support or may be required as prerequisites to their
nursing curriculum.

Mechatronics - Associate in Applied
Science – T Degree
Mechatronics focuses on the convergence of mechanical,
electrical and computer controls in complex systems and
automation. It is a multidisciplinary approach combining
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, process
control engineering, and software engineering into an
integrated skill set for construction, repair, and
optimization of complex industrial equipment. This makes
it applicable to a wide range of growing industries
including automation and robotics, advanced
manufacturing, aerospace and transportation systems,
process control, logistics and supply chain management,
and agriculture. Modern life is filled with mechatronic
systems: they clean the water you drink, manage the car
you drive and are involved in the creation of nearly
everything you see around you. Every industry employs
some level of mechatronics.
electrical, mechanical and control equipment.
• Analyze the transmission of power between
electrical, mechanical and fluid power.
• Use digital and analogue controls on mechanical,
electrical, fluid power, and hybrid systems.
• Construct complex machinery involving multiple
forms of power and control.
• Troubleshoot mechatronic systems, including the
complex interplay between different power and
control variables.
• Validate new and emerging power, control, and
communication technologies.
• Prioritize efficiency and environmental sustainability
in mechatronic systems and processes.
• Prioritize social benefit from the perspective of
mechatronic systems.
Completion Requirements
Prerequisite(s)
To enter the program, a student must be eligible to take
college-level English and college-level psychology, or
another social science or humanities course.
Clover Park Technical College’s AAS-T Mechatronics
degree provides the skills needed to succeed in this
exciting field. The program begins with courses that
establish a solid base of technical skills and an
understanding of the various disciplines that make up
mechatronics as well as lean manufacturing and quality
standards. Courses are taught with an eye toward linking
disciplines together for larger mechatronic systems.
Subsequent courses then build expertise in the foundational
skills while increasingly integrating all skills into the
design, construction, optimization, maintenance, and repair
of full mechatronics systems. Students who complete the
Mechatronics AAS-T Degree will also have the option to
further their education by enrolling in our BAS in
Mechatronics Engineering Technology and Automation
(BAS- META), which is the first Bachelor’s degree in
mechatronics to be offered anywhere in the Pacific NW.
This program assumes that students will be able to enroll
in, or will have passed, MATH& 141 by the start of the
third quarter of the program. Any developmental
coursework that a student may be required to take to
achieve this may increase the program length and is not
reflected in credit counts as shown below. Math sequences
to meet this requirement must be planned with your
advisor prior to program enrollment.

also include the major methods of NDT, such as visual and
optical, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic,
ultrasonic and eddy current testing, along with an overview
of other methods. Students will be introduced to advanced
technologies, such as ultrasonics (phased array), and
radiography (digital detector array DDA and computerized
radiography CR). Successful graduates are prepared with
technical skills for entry-level positions, such as quality
control technicians, NDT technicians, engineering
technicians, and NDT equipment representatives.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the Nondestructive Testing
(NDT) degree, students will be able to:
• Correlate the discontinuities specific to each
manufacturing process with the non-destructive
testing method or methods used to detect, interpret,
and evaluate them.
• Perform the basic setup and calibration of nondestructive testing equipment according to referenced
codes, standards, and specifications.
• Create a non-destructive testing technique in which
known defects within any assigned part or assembly
are inspected, interpreted, and evaluated in
accordance with referenced codes, standards, and
specifications.
• Analyze inherent and service induced discontinuities
and defects for differentiation and disposition with
various precision measurement tools.
• Create technical reports documenting the results of
their inspection findings.
