our MISSION.your DREAMS.

The College is student-centered, affordable, and conveniently located in the metropolitan Boston and the MetroWest regions. We are a close-knit learning community committed to providing our students with the best faculty, the highest quality of support services as well as exposure to the elements of a liberal education that support transfer, career and life aspirations.

More than 5,000 students attend classes on our campuses in Wellesley Hills and Framingham or at our Automotive Technology Center in Ashland. Our student body is

diverse; 26 percent are people of color and over half are women. Twenty-five percent of our students are the first in their family to attend college.

In order for our students to be competitive and successful in an increasingly global economy, we must ensure that multicultural values permeate our College curricula. I value diversity in every sense of the word and believe that diversity promotes personal growth, strengthens our communities, and enriches the educational experiences of our students. I am committed to infusing our community and curricula with multicultural values so that you will be prepared to truly succeed. We are one of very few community colleges in the Commonwealth offering our students an opportunity to study abroad.

Whether you seek a certificate, an associate degree or an opportunity to strengthen your skills, MassBay has the courses you need. We offer students a wide array of programs including 35 associate degree programs and 27 certificate programs. We are the only community college in Massachusetts to offer a state-of-the art, credit-bearing automotive technology degree program. For many students, MassBay Community College’s degree and certificate programs in the allied health professions, criminal justice, and automotive technology offer pathways to enhanced employment opportunities. For others, MassBay is the first step to a four-year institution such as Framingham State, UMass-Boston, Northeastern, Wellesley College, and many other leading universities and colleges nationwide.

Come meet some of our extraordinary faculty and staff, and learn more about the opportunities that await you at MassBay. Enroll today and take advantage of the educational excellence that is MassBay. Join the more than 18,000 alumni who have already benefited from MassBay in their personal and professional lives.

massachusetts public higher educationMassachusetts Public Higher Education is a system comprised of community colleges, state colleges, and the five campuses of the University of Massachu-setts. The System exists to provide accessible, af-fordable, relevant, and rigorous academic programs that adapt to meet changing individual and societal needs for education and employment. All campuses are committed to operating effectively and efficiently in order to maintain tuition and fees at a level as low as possible, while providing a high-quality educa-tion to every student who qualifies for admission. The System is committed to continuous improve-ment and accountability in all aspects of teaching and learning. The Department of Higher Education and institutional Boards of Trustees recognize their responsibilities to the taxpayers and residents of Massachusetts in the performance of their roles and responsibilities. Massachusetts Public Higher Educa-tion is a system with a distinguished past, increasing pride, and unlimited potential.

massachusetts community colleges mission statementMassachusetts Bay Community College (MassBay) is one of 15 community colleges within the Common-wealth’s Public Higher Education System, a system which offers open access to high quality, affordable academic programs, including associate degree and certificate programs. Massachusetts community colleges are committed to excellence in teaching and learning and provide academic preparation for transfer to four-year institutions, career prepara-tion for entry into high-demand occupational fields, developmental coursework and lifelong learning opportunities.

Community colleges have a special responsibility for workforce development and through partnerships with business and industry, provide job training, retraining, certification, and skills improvement. In

addition, they assume primary responsibility, in the public system, for offering developmental courses, programs and other educational services for individ-uals who seek to develop the skills needed to pursue college-level study or enter the workforce.

Rooted in their communities, the colleges serve as community leaders, identifying opportunities and solutions to community problems and contributing to the region’s intellectual, cultural and economic development. They collaborate with elementary and secondary education and work to ensure a smooth transition from secondary to post-secondary edu-cation. Through partnerships with baccalaureate institutions, they help to promote an efficient system of public higher education.

The community colleges offer an environment where the ideas and contributions of all students are re-spected. Academic and personal support services are provided to ensure that all students have an oppor-tunity to achieve academic and career success. No eligible student shall be deprived of the opportunity for a community college education in Massachusetts because of an inability to pay tuition and fees.

massbay overviewMassBay has served the educational needs of our communities since its founding in 1961. At that time, the College was located in Back Bay and served 419 students in five programs. Today, more than 5000 students pursue degrees and certificates in over 60 career and transfer programs in more than 30 fields at our campuses in Wellesley Hills, Fram-ingham, and our Automotive Technology Center in Ashland. In addition, MassBay provides personal and professional enrichment through non-credit courses.

Through five academic divisions and a center for corporate and community education, MassBay

offers quality education, affordable tuition, con-venient locations, and flexible scheduling. Find a course of study in our divisions of humanities, social sciences and professional studies, health sciences, transportation and energy, or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or take a few classes from our listing of non-credit enrichment programs. MassBay offers a rewarding and success-ful educational experience that includes full-time or part-time enrollment, credit or non-credit classes.

The Wellesley Hills Campus is located one mile west of the intersection of Routes 128 and 9, approxi-mately 10 miles west of Boston. The Framingham Campus is off of Routes 126 and 9, near downtown Framingham. The Automotive Technology Center in Ashland is approximately 4 miles south of the Fram-ingham Campus off Route 126.

The student body at MassBay is a diverse group of individuals, all with different goals and complex edu-cational needs. Some may be working towards an associate degree or certificate program by taking day or evening classes. Others may have plans to transfer

• Provide a student-centered learning environment in which a diverse student

body explores, develops, and achieves educational goals;

• Serve the economic and cultural needs of the communities in which the College operates; and

• Advance business, education, public service, and health care by emphasizing

technology and health-care programs and offering strong transfer programs in

the liberal arts and business.

to a four-year college or university to continue their education. Still others may have some college experi-ence, but want to enhance or broaden their profes-sional skills. Finally, many students take non-credit courses to pursue their lifelong learning goals. Our programs are geared to meet the needs of this diverse population by offering a variety of instruc-tional delivery systems, including day, evening, and weekend courses as well as online and hybrid cours-es. Whatever a student’s goals or schedule, we are committed to supporting the academic, career, and life success of everyone.

massbay in the communityMassBay cares about the community, and we show this commitment by instilling in students, staff, and faculty the importance of the arts and culture, civic pride and volunteerism. Through alliances with various organizations, MassBay supports the diver-sity of the community and offers students increased involvement and leadership opportunities in a wide range of rewarding activities.

MassBay is proud to be the home of several artists-in-residence, includ-ing Wellesley Symphony Orchestra, All About Us Performing Arts, MassBay Players, Metrowest Youth Symphony Orchestra, and Newton Country Players. In addition, the Felix Juliani Gallery hosts numer-ous art exhibits throughout the year, showcasing local artists with a varied and diverse body of work, as well as an annual Student Art Exhibit.

Every year MassBay and World of Wellesley jointly sponsor a Multicultural Film Festival, with a month of international movies shown on our state-of-the-art movie theater quality projection system in the McKenzie Auditorium.

General Information


MassBay is also able to support the community by providing meeting space for numerous local and state organizations.

Many courses at MassBay are enhanced by a learn-ing through serving approach, commonly referred to as service-learning. Service-learning encourages stu-dents to validate course concepts through engage-ment in activities that address community needs. At the Waltham Fields Community Farm and commu-nity gardens of The Food Project, MassBay nutrition and geography students have learned about food cultivation while helping to harvest produce for area food pantries. Since 2004, the College has partnered with The Wellesley Council on Aging, the Town’s Office of Veterans Services and our neighbors at Mt. St. Vincent to recruit seniors who will tell their sto-ries. More than 25 oral histories already have been recorded.

As an ongoing commitment, MassBay actively seeks other community alliances and opportunities in an effort to reach out to and support the community the College serves. Whether we’re lending a hand to a charitable cause, forming cultural partnerships, or extending our academic resources, MassBay is an integral part of our neighboring communities.

accreditationMassBay is accredited by the New England Asso-ciation of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC), a non-governmental, nationally-recognized organiza-tion whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by NEASC indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer-group review process. An accredited school or college is one that has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated pur-poses 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 NEASC is not partial

Once accepted into a program of study, students will follow the curriculum and course requirements in place at the time of admission. If continuously enrolled (for example, with no interruption of academic program longer than four semester’s absence), students will be expected to fulfill the requirements of the catalog current at the time of admission to MassBay and/or the specific program of study. If not continuously enrolled, students are expected to meet the requirements current at the time of re-admission to MassBay. Students who change their majors follow the program requirements in effect at the time the Change of Major form is filed and processed.

• Review the admission requirements for your program of choice. Some programs are restricted and/or require prerequisite courses.

• Obtain an application from the Office of Admissions, or visit us online at massbay.edu. You may apply online or download and print our application form. Submit the completed form to:

reserves the right to deny admission.

All day students are required to complete an appli-cation to MassBay. Any evening students who are seeking a degree or certificate or who plan to enroll in a course which requires a placement test must also complete an application. Non-degree-seeking students do not initially need to file an application. With the completion of 12 MassBay credits, students will then be required to submit an application to the College in order to continue enrollment. Non-de-gree-seeking students are not eligible for financial aid.

under-aged studentsThe College reserves the right to limit or deny en-rollment in a course or program to any student un-der the age of 16, based on a case-by-case consider-ation of a variety of factors, including but not limited to the student’s maturity, life experience, placement test scores, prior education, course content, instruc-tional methodology, and potential risks associated with participation in a particular course or program.

home schooling policyAll home-schooled students without a high school diploma or GED are eligible to apply for admission to a degree or certificate program provided they have successfully completed an approved home-school program in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws or the laws of their home state. If home-schooled students have not completed an ap-proved home-school program, students will not be eligible to enroll in a degree or certificate program until they have taken and passed a federally-ap-proved Ability to Benefit (ATB) test.

In order for the College to determine whether stu-dents have participated in an approved home-school program, students shall submit, with the application for admission, evidence that the home-school pro-gram was approved by the students’ school district’s superintendent or school committee. Additionally, if home-schooled students are under the age of compulsory attendance, 16 years, a letter from the students’ school district superintendent or school committee is required, stating that students are not considered truant and would not be required to attend further schooling or continue to be home-

schooled if students have completed their home-school program before the age of 16.

Automotive technologyEach of the Automotive Technology programs has physical requirements (commonly called Technical Standards) that candidates must be able to accom-plish in order to participate in the MassBay program. The ability to perform these tasks and functions is considered essential to the Automotive Technology programs.

A checklist of the specific Technical Standards necessary for each program is available through the Office of Admissions. Candidates are encouraged to review the list. Candidates with doubts about abil-ity to perform any of the functions should consult with health care providers. Should candidates or their health care provider feel that some form of accommodation would allow candidates to meet the performance requirements, they should contact the Office of Learning Accommodations/Disabilities

Stu-dents who do not have this certification may enroll in a Health Care Provider course through the MassBay Office of Corporate and Community Education.

minimum technical/performance standards The MassBay Health Professions programs have technical standards that candidates must be able to perform in order to successfully and safely complete the program. The categories of functions include muscular and skeletal, auditory, visual, manual dexterity and fine motor skills, verbal, olfactory, and environmental. A list of the technical standards for each program is available through the Office of Admissions and students must sign the technical standards forms indicating their ability to perform.

Prospective students are encouraged to review the list of physical requirements. Candidates with any doubts about ability to perform any of the functions should consult with health care providers. Should candidates or their health care provider feel that some form of accommodation would allow can-didates to meet performance requirements, they should contact Office of Learning Accommodations/Disabilities Services. For additional information, contact the Office of Admissions at 781-239-2500.

health sciences policies

Students enrolled in Health Sciences Programs must adhere to policies developed to meet the require-ments of the accrediting and regulatory agencies. In addition to academic requirements, there are clinical policies for each program. These policies are explained in the Division of Health Sciences Student Handbook and Policy Manual provided at manda-tory program orientations.

criminal offender record information (cori)& sex offender registry information (sori)Students participating in academic programs that include a clinical affiliation or field-based learning component, such as with a private or public health care provider or early childhood learning center, will be subject to a search of records for past criminal orsexual offenses, known as the CORI (Criminal Of-fender Record Information) check and the SORI (Sex Offender Registry Information) check. The CORI and SORI checks are carried out pursuant to Mass. General laws, Chapter 6, Sections 167-168B and 178C, respectively. There are certain academic programs and related clinical affiliations in which students may not be permitted to participate, de-

pending on the contents of CORI or SORI checks. Therefore, names of students in all Health Profes-sions programs, the Early Childhood Program and certain other programs will be submitted to the state for the CORI check and the SORI check. A CORI or SORI check report may preclude eligibility for clini-cal or field assignment for a student with a criminal record; in these cases, students will be denied enroll-ment or continued enrollment in the program.

additional clinical requirements

Some health care facilities may require additional in-formation and/or screenings from students prior to clinical placement. These include, but are not limited to, submission of social security number, finger printing, drug testing, CORI checks, and proof of immunizations. It is the policy of the College to review these requirements prior to clinical placement to ensure that students’ rights and privacy are protected in accordance with state and federal laws. Additional fees may apply.

readmission to restricted programsLimited spaces are available for applicants for re-admission. Students seeking re-admission to any restricted health sciences program must notify the Office of Admissions in writing. For more informa-tion, please contact the Office of Admissions at 781-239-2500.

division of health sciences readmission policyStudents seeking re-admission to a Health Sciences program and other restricted programs must request re-admission through the Office of Admissions. Re-admission to any of the Health Sciences programs is not guaranteed and is contingent upon space availability as determined by the College. Stu-

dents who have left any Health Sciences program at MassBay will be considered for admission one more time to the same or a different program in the division if they meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Students who leave a Health Sciences program at any time during or at the completion of the first semester, with a Health Sciences GPA of 1.3 or higher. (GPA is calculated based on grades earned in program specific courses.)• Students who leave any Health Sciences program during or at the completion of the second or subsequent semester, with a Health Sciences GPA of 2.0 or greater in the previous semester.• Students who failed to attend after being accepted to and registered for a Health Sciences program, or withdrew during the drop/add period, will be considered students who made an unsuccessful attempt in that program.• Programs reserve the right to verify maintained competency in previously completed program- specific courses.

Ineligibility• Students who leave a Health Sciences program during or at the completion of first semester with a Health Sciences GPA of less than 1.3.• Students withdrawn from any Health Science program for reasons of “clinically unsafe practice/ behavior” as defined in the Division of Health Sciences Student Handbook and Policy Manual.

The first-semester course load for students enrolled in a part-time evening Health Sciences program will be comparable to a first-semester day student’s course load where applicable.

placement testingIn an effort to ensure a high standard of educational success for the students who attend the Common-wealth’s public colleges, the Massachusetts Depart-ment of Higher Education requires that all students complete a series of assessment tests in writing, reading, and mathematics. These tests are designed to determine level of skill in each of the subject ar-eas. Scores on the placement tests will allow advisors to assess which English and mathematics courses are the right ones. If a student scores below the neces-

academIc advIsInG


At the Advising Center, students can meet with an academic counselor to discuss programs and select courses for each semester. The staff can evaluate any transfer credit from previous colleges and refer students to other campus resources as needed. An academic counselor can help with the transition to college, assist in choosing courses that are appropri-ate to student skill level and program requirements, and provide referrals to other offices and services on campus. Students are encouraged and expected to seek the advice and counsel of an academic counsel-or prior to registration for any semester or whenever necessary.

Students who carry nine (9) or more credits per semester are assigned an academic counselor or fac-ulty advisor on the Wellesley Hills or Framingham campus. Students carrying eight (8) or fewer credits per semester are advised by an academic counselor in the Advising Center. As you progress in your program of study, an academic counselor can review your transcript with you to be sure that you are tak-ing the appropriate courses toward graduation.

The Advising Centers are open to all students en-rolled at the Wellesley Hills campus, the Fram-ingham campus, and The Automotive Technology Center in Ashland. The Advising Center can intro-duce students to the opportunities and resources of the College, inform students of the requirements of academic programs, and assist in registering for ap-

Here are some points to remember to make your registration process smoother:

• Students will not be allowed to register if they have an outstanding financial obligation with the College.

• Registration in Math or English courses requires placement exam results unless the student has been waived from the placement test by the Advising Center.

• Students may not register for a course that has a prerequisite unless they have either completed the prerequisite or are currently enrolled in it at MassBay. If the prerequisite was completed at another school, students must submit proof of completion to the Advising Center.

• Students who have been accepted to a restricted program, such as many of the Health Professions programs or Automo-tive Technology programs, must obtain their program advisor’s signature to register for any courses.

• A full-time course load is 12 or more credits. However, it is necessary to complete more than 12 credits per semester in order to finish a degree program in the recom-mended time. Students may register for a maximum of 20 credits with an advisor’s signature. Beyond that, the signature of the program’s dean is required.

acceptance of transfer credit from other colleges Transfer of course credits from other colleges will be permitted if such credits were earned at an ac-credited institution and are equivalent to MassBay’s courses. Prior to MassBay acceptance of transfer credits, you must be accepted into a program of study. In addition, you must submit official tran-scripts provided by the registrars of all schools, col-leges, or universities attended. You must have earned at least a “C” in the course or courses for which you are requesting transfer credit. A preliminary evalua-tion of course credits to be transferred to the College may be made by the academic counselor at the time of application. Please be aware that this evaluation is preliminary only, and acceptance of transfer credit is subject to review when you are formally accepted to the program. Credit that is accepted according to general college policy is not necessarily acceptable for specific programs of study. This is particularly true in instances where program transfer limits are in effect, as in the Health Professions Programs.

A maximum of one-half of the total credits within the degree or certificate program may be earned by transfer credit. The College reserves the right to refuse recognition for courses that were taken more than ten years prior to the date when you apply for transfer. Transferred science and computer science courses must have been taken within the last five years.

transcript evaluation for transfer creditWhen a transcript is evaluated for transfer credit, several factors are considered before transfer credit

is approved. These are:

• You must have a declared major and have been accepted to the College. • Credits may be transferred only if they would apply to your current program curriculum. • Foreign documents must be translated and evaluated by a credible agency, such as the Center for Educational Documentation. • Coursework must be represented in credit hours. Clock hours will not be converted to MassBay credit hours.

You should submit official transcripts at least four weeks prior to the start of classes if the transfer credit is needed in order to register for classes.

Once a course has been officially approved and transferred, it will appear on your permanent record after you have completed the first semester of coursework but will not be computed in the grade point average.

change of majorStudents who want to change from one academic program to another must meet with an advisor and complete a Change of Major form, available in the Registrar’s Office or the Advising Center. Once your change of program request is approved, you will matriculate following the curriculum and course requirements in place for that program at the time of your change in major. In some instances, your science and/or computer science courses may not apply to your new degree depending on the time of completion of these courses. Contact the Advising Center at 781-239-2775 for more information.

credit by examinationMassBay students have the opportunity to earn credit through examinations administered periodically throughout the academic year. MassBay accepts credits for students who score at appropriate competency levels in the following examinations:

• advanced placement courses (ap) : Contact the Advising Center for qualifying scores and transfer credit information.

• college level examination program (clep) Through CLEP examinations the College awards academic credit for over 20 courses.

• national league for nursing exam (nln) The NLN exams provide an avenue for advanced placement of LPNs into the associate degree nursing program.

• challenge examinations Challenge Examinations are available to MassBay matriculated students. The purpose of the Challenge Examination is to present students with an opportunity to receive credit for knowledge in the following courses: Computers and Technology (CS 100) and Critical Thinking (CT 100).

Students must submit a request for examinations in writing to the Academic Achievement Center, which administers these examinations. Unless such a request is on file, no credit will be awarded. Stu-dents may not take a Challenge Exam or ‘CLEP’ for a course in which they are currently enrolled. Students must pay a fee to take these examinations.

challenge examinations and clep examinations Challenge Examinations and CLEP examinations are considered transfer credits and are reported as transfer credits on MassBay transcripts. These credits might not be transferable (see Acceptance of Transfer Credit). These credits are posted to student transcripts after having completed one semester of coursework at the College. Contact the Advising Center for more information on transfer and transfer credits. For details on the processes for CLEP, NLN, and Challenge Examinations, including specific dates and times, contact the Academic Achievement Center at 781-239-2629.

transfer servicesMany of our students transfer to a four-year college upon completion of their associate degree. MassBay provides students with support services to help en-sure a smooth transfer process. If a student is interested in transferring in the future, he/she should meet with the transfer counselor to confirm that he/she has selected an appropriate associate

degree transfer program and to explore transfer options. The student should continue to consult with his/her academic advisor, particularly during the College’s course advisement period, in order to ensure that they select appropriate courses for trans-fer. If the student knows where he/she would like to transfer, he/she should also contact the four-year institution to verify the transferability of courses.

The Advising Center contains college applications and catalogs for many local four-year colleges and universities as well as other resource materials. Repre-sentatives from four-year institutions visit the campus throughout the academic year to meet with prospec-tive transfer students. Students are encouraged to take the time to meet with representatives from the schools they are considering and to learn about majors, pro-grams and services available to transfer students.

Many colleges have early application deadlines for transfer students. Some applications will be due as early as February 1 for fall admission. Find out what the deadlines are during your second-to-last semes-ter at MassBay. Official transcripts will be sent by the Registrar’s Office after the student completes a Transcript Request Form.

commonwealth transfer compactMassBay students may transfer to a public college or university within Massachusetts with minimal loss of associate degree credit under the Commonwealth Transfer Compact. To be eligible for the Compact, you must meet the following conditions: • Must have received an associate degree with a minimum of 60 credit hours of undergraduate college-level study, including:

successful transferring Students graduating from MassBay have had excellent records upon transferring to four-year colleges and universities. The following is a partial list of four-year institutions to which MassBay graduates have transferred:

Westfield State CollegeWheaton CollegeWheelock CollegeWorcester State CollegeWorcester Polytechnic Institute

General Information


• Freshman English/Composition/Writing 6 credits • Behavioral and Social Sciences 9 credits • Humanities and Fine Arts 9 credits • Natural or Physical Sciences 8 credits • Mathematics 3 credits

• Must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 at MassBay. • Must request that the MassBay Registrar’s Office submit an official transcript to the college or univer-sity indicating that transfer has been sought under the Commonwealth Transfer Compact. Please note that this does not necessarily mean you will have satisfied the college degree requirements of a spe-cific school or major, but it does ensure that you will transfer a minimum of 60 credits.

Some associate of science programs may not qualify under the Commonwealth’s Transfer Compact. Con-tact the Transfer Counselor with any questions or for more information on transfer guarantees and ar-ticulation agreements to four-year programs. Gradu-ates from MassBay who do not qualify as Compact graduates may be evaluated course by course for their particular major at a college or university.

Joint admissions programThe Joint Admissions Program guarantees eligible MassBay students admission to one of the University of Massachusetts campuses or Massachusetts State Colleges. To be eligible, students must enter into an approved transfer program at MassBay and graduate with an associate degree and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better.

During students’ final semester at MassBay, they must submit an Intent to Enroll Form to the four-year institution with official transcripts from all academic institutions they have attended (including MassBay). Students must also submit a final official MassBay transcript that includes degree and all final grades. Submitting an Intent to Enroll Form does not oblige students to attend that institution.

tuition advantage program (tap)Students participating in Joint Admissions will receive a 33% reduction off the in-state tuition of the participating state college or university if they

graduate from MassBay with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Students maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA at the four-year college may renew the tuition reduction for a second year. Students may still apply for other forms of financial aid. Students who transfer into non-state-supported programs (usually evening or week-end programs) at the four-year school are usually not eligible. For more information concerning the TAP, contact the Advising Center.

transfer articulation agreementsIn addition to the Commonwealth Transfer Com-pact, MassBay has a number of articulation agree-ments with public and private four-year colleges and universities. Under these agreements, students may transfer to a college with full junior status. The agreements involve specific academic programs, and students must have taken the appropriate courses. Please consult with the Transfer Counselor to review all transfer requirements for programs at the receiv-ing institution.

reGIstrar’s offIce


Students may register for classes on campus or online. To register on campus, students should meet with their advisor to select appropriate courses and fill out a registration form. This form, signed by the advisor, should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office on either campus. Barring any conflicts with restricted or full courses, registration staff will enroll students in the selected courses.

To register online, it is important to speak with an academic counselor prior to registering. student status

full-time status

A full-time student is defined as one who is officially registered in twelve (12) credit hours or more in any academic semester.

General Information

www.massbay.edu • 781-239-3000 21

part-time status

A part-time student is defined as one who is offi-cially registered in eleven (11) credit hours or fewer in any academic semester.

audit status

When you audit a course, you are expected to attend class regularly but will not receive college credit. Your course instructor will decide the extent to which you will participate in class assignments. To audit a course, you must designate an audit status at the time of registration. A record of the audit shall be entered on your transcript as “AU” at the time of registration. It cannot be converted to a letter grade. Audited courses require full course payment.

withdrawal from a courseStudents may add or drop a course without penalty until the end of the add/drop period in each semes-ter. Generally the add/drop period extends through the first week of classes, but evening and off-cycle classes have different add/drop periods. For the add/drop dates in a given semester, consult the official academic calendar for that semester. When adding a course, students are responsible for all work covered prior to entering class.

Students may withdraw from a course after the add/drop period has ended by the official withdrawal date published in the official academic calendar for each semester. Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete the withdrawal section of the College’s add/drop form, available in the Reg-istrar’s Office or on the College’s website. Students who withdraw from a class will receive a grade of “W” on their transcript. Failure to attend a course does not constitute a formal withdrawal. Failure to officially withdraw may result in an “F” grade. Frequent withdrawal from courses may affect academic standing and financial aid.

repeating a courseStudents may repeat a course at any time, although

MassBay reserves the right to limit the number of times students may repeat the same course. When the course is repeated, the new qualitative letter grade, whether higher or lower than the original grade, is used to calculate the GPA and is listed on the permanent record. The original grade will re-main on the permanent record but is removed from the GPA calculation.

science and computer science coursesScience and computer science courses completed at MassBay or granted as transfer credit within five years of enrollment may fulfill graduation require-ments, regardless of a change of program, as long as the student has not had an interruption of en-rollment of two years or four semesters. If students interrupt their MassBay studies for longer than two years or four semesters, and their science and/or computer science courses are five years or older upon readmission to the College, those science and computer science courses will not be accepted to-ward graduation.

transcriptsThe permanent academic record of students, listing all courses taken and grades achieved, is contained in a transcript. An official transcript (one bearing the seal of the College and signature of the Regis-trar) is not given to the student but, upon written student request, is mailed directly to the institution or persons considering the applicant for admission or employment. No transcript or record will be released without students’ signatures. A Request for Transcript Form is available in the Registrar’s Office. Students may obtain an unofficial transcript (a copy of the student’s academic record without the College seal and signature of Registrar) upon written request or online. The Registrar’s Office will fax unofficial transcripts upon receipt of a signed request.

confidentiality of student recordsthe Family educational rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect

General Information


to their educational records. Students are informed of their rights under this act through the MassBay Community College Catalog and the Student Hand-book. These rights are as follows:

inspection and reviewStudents have the right to inspect and review their education records within 45 days of the day the Col-lege receives a request for access. You should submit to the Registrar, Office of Student Development, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) you wish to inspect. The col-lege official will make arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

If the records are not maintained by the college offi-cial to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise you of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

challenge of recordsStudents have the right to request the amendment of their education records that they believe are inaccurate or misleading. They should write to the college official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why they feel it is inaccurate or mislead-ing. If the College decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

record DisclosureStudents have the right to consent to or deny dis-closures of personally identifiable information contained in education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without con-sent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, super-visory, academic, research, or support staff posi-tion (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent), a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official com-mittee, such as a disciplinary or grievance commit-tee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her profes-sional responsibility. Further, upon request, the Col-lege discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

right of complaintStudents have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by MassBay to comply with the require-ments of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605

Directory informationMassBay has designated the following items as directory information: student name, address, city of residence, academic program, semesters of at-tendance, current enrollment status, Dean’s List, and degrees or certificates awarded.

Directory information may be released by the Col-lege to a third party requesting such student infor-mation without first obtaining the parent’s or eligible student’s consent. A parent or eligible student has

General Information

www.massbay.edu • 781-239-3000 23

the right to refuse to permit the College from identi-fying some or all of these types of information about the student as directory information. A parent or eligible student must notify the College’s Registrar within two weeks of the beginning of each academic semester if the parent or eligible student does not want any or all of these types of information about a student designated as directory information.

Notwithstanding the College’s definition of directory information, the Department of Defense, pursuant to the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997, identifies the following student information as directory information: student names, addresses, and telephone listings, and if known, students’ ages, levels of education, and majors.

If a parent or eligible student chooses not to exercise his/her aforementioned right to refuse to permit the College to designate some or all of those types of information, the College will release to the Depart-ment of Defense, or an agency thereof, that student information which the Department of Defense has designated as directory information. When student information is released pursuant to a Department of Defense request, notice of the request and the release of the student information in accordance therewith will be posted in a conspicuous location in the College’s Academic Records Office for the period of one academic year.

academic InformationThe academic year consists of fall and spring semes-ters, each approximately sixteen weeks. Summer term consists of two accelerated sessions begin-ning in late May and mid-July and one sixteen week session. Winter Session is held in early January and provides an opportunity for accelerated study. Our programs lead to an associate in arts degree, an asso-ciate in science degree, or a certificate. Completion time will vary depending upon the requirements of the degree program/certificate and the number of courses you complete each semester.

Grading system and Grade point average

credit hours The number of hours per week that courses meet are

counted as equivalent credits for financial aid and used to determine your status as a full- or part-time student. Credit hours are units earned for successful-ly completing a course during a given semester. The number of credit hours associated with each course is indicated in this catalog in the course description.

At the end of each academic session, you will receive a grade in every credit course in which you were enrolled. A letter grade is assigned for each credit course you complete. Each qualitative letter grade carries an honor point value. These grades repre-sent various levels of accomplishment and carry the number of honor points per credit hour attempted, as indicated in the letter grade chart.

This honor point value is multiplied by the number of credits earned for a particular course. The total number of honor points you earn during an academ-ic semester divided by the total number of credits for which you enrolled during that semester is called the Grade Point Average (GPA). The GPA affects your academic progress with regard to graduation, academic honors, probation, and dismissal.

General Information


computing grade point average: I, NC, AU, S, U, P, T, W, WC, WR.

Designations of W, WC and WR are used for admin-istrative reporting. They are not grades. They may be assigned under the following circumstances:

w (Withdrawal): From the day after the end of the add/drop period before the end of the tenth week of classes (second week for summer classes or fourth week for eight-week courses) in any semester, you may withdraw from a course without penalty. The notation of “W” will be made on the student’s per-manent record.

wc (Withdrawal from the College): When students officially withdraw from all courses and file the ap-propriate notification with the Office of Student Development, the notation of “WC” will be made on the student’s permanent record for these courses.

wr (Administrative Withdrawal): When there is no record that a student ever attended a course for which they were enrolled, the notation of “WR” will be made on the student’s permanent record for that course.

Designations of I, NC, AU, S, U or P may be assigned under the following circumstances:

I (Incomplete): A temporary grade assigned to a student if he/she fails to complete the requirements of a course. An “I” grade may result from one of two causes: failure to take a final examination or fail-

ure to complete all the required assignments. If a student receives an “I,” he/she should contact their instructor and obtain, in writing, the requirements for course completion. You may be given up to one semester after the semester in which the “I” was re-ceived to complete all course requirements. The grade of “I” automatically becomes an “NC” (No Credit) if the student does not complete the missed work.

nc (No Credit): An internal non-punitive grade assigned by a faculty member if students have aban-doned a course but not officially withdrawn. An NC grade may impact students on scholarships, veteran’s benefits, financial aid, international student visas, and similar situations. (Students should contact the Advising Center for more information). An “I” (Incomplete) grade that has not been replaced by a standard grade (“A-F”) becomes an “NC” should stu-dents fail to make up the required work within the allotted time. This grade is issued at the discretion of the faculty member. au (Audit): This status is assigned to a student if he/she requests to register for and participate in a credit course on a no-credit basis. The student may audit any credit-bearing course at MassBay, but he/she must state his/her intention to audit on your registra-tion form. Audit status cannot be changed after the drop/add period.

s (Satisfactory): Acceptable performance in a pass/fail course.

u (Unsatisfactory): Unacceptable performance in a pass/fail course.

t (Transfer Course): Course credits transferred from another college.

mid-semester GradesDuring the mid-point in the fall and spring semesters, faculty submit grades to the Registrar as indicators of student performance. If a student’s mid-year grade is a “D” or F”, or in health professions courses, a “C-”, the student should meet with their instructor and aca-demic advisor to review options for improvement.

General Information

www.massbay.edu • 781-239-3000 25

final examinationsFinal examinations are given in most credit courses. If a student fails to be present for a final examina-tion, he/she should contact the instructor of the class as soon as possible to request and arrange for a make-up exam. Decisions regarding whether a make-up examination is allowable and the circum-stances under which it may be given rest with the instructor.

Grade changes and challengesGrades reported by the instructor are considered permanent and final. There are, however, some circumstances in which a change of grade may be requested to correct clerical or procedural er-rors. Students must submit a written request to the instructor for re-evaluation. The final decision regarding grades rests with the instructor. However, students may appeal a grade by following the grade appeal policy in the Student Handbook.

No appeal challenging a grade may be initiated later than 30 calendar days following the last day of the instructional period for which the grade was granted.

attendance policyStudents are expected to attend all scheduled meet-ings of the courses in which they have enrolled, and they are responsible for any work missed due to absence. For each course, the policies regarding class and/or laboratory attendance and make-ups (if any) are developed by the instructor and will be specified in the course syllabus. The course instructor has full and final authority to allow make-up work.

If student absences exceed five (5) class hours, the instructor may withdraw him/her from the course by notifying the Registrar.

religious observancesUnder the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 151C, any student who cannot attend classes or take an exam, study, or fulfill work requirements on a particular day due to his/her religious beliefs shall be excused from such a scheduled obligation. Students must be provided with an opportunity for make-up as long as it does not create an unreasonable burden upon the institution.

academic progressAt the end of each semester, MassBay reviews the academic performance of all students. The College requires that you complete each semester with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00. Students who fail to meet the minimum GPA are subject to probation or dismissal.

Grades in pre-college courses are not included in calculating the GPA nor in the calculation of credits toward graduation.

dean’s listStudents who are in good standing with the College, maintain a 3.50 term GPA or higher, and have no course grade lower than 2.00 at the end of the given semester are recognized as members of the Dean’s List. To be eligible for the Dean’s List, students must be full-time, carrying at least 12 credits of college-level courses. Only college-level course credits and grades are used in computing the term GPA for the Dean’s List. If you have any incompletes for the se-mester, even if you eventually complete them, stu-dents are not eligible for Dean’s List consideration. Dean’s List eligibility is not retroactive.

student evaluationsMassBay is committed to the continual improve-ment of the quality of education at our institution. The periodic evaluation of instruction by students is an important component of our commitment. Student evaluations are conducted during a des-ignated period at the end of each semester. More information is available in the Office of Institutional Research.

Grade requirements for health professions programsStudents enrolled in Health Sciences programs must complete all science and Health Sciences courses with a grade of “C” or better. Science courses must be repeated if they were taken more than five years before the time of application to the Health Sciences programs. Please consult the Advising Center if you are uncertain of the validity of your science courses.

General Information


academic probation and academic dismissalIf a student is placed on probation, he/she should meet with his/her academic advisor to discuss MassBay’s many support services, which can help improve academic performance. While on proba-

tion, a student may not participate in any extra-cur-ricular activities, including athletics. In addition, he/she must immediately resign any position of responsibility, including the Student Government Association (SGA) or Student Trustee, etc. Students may attend social and academic functions, as well as participate in work-study.

Once on probation, students must earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 in one annual academic cy-cle. Failure to achieve the above standard will result in dismissal from the College. Academic dismissal means that students are prohibited from enrolling in the College. If a student is dismissed, he/she may ap-peal his/her status with the College Appeals Board.

withdrawal from the collegeIf you intend to withdraw from the College, you must notify the Office of Student Development in writing. Until you do so, you are considered enrolled at MassBay.

Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice. It is ulti-mately the student’s responsibility to satisfy his/her financial obligations.

Once students register, they are responsible for pay-ments in full for all tuition and fees by the posted due date. Registration is not complete until all charges are paid in full. Checks or money orders for tuition and fees should be made payable to MassBay

Community College. Visa, MasterCard, and Discov-er are also acceptable forms of payment. Payments may be made via the web at massbay.edu, in person, or by mail.

In order to adjust or eliminate tuition and fee charges, students must officially withdraw in writing within the appropriate timeline from the course(s) and/or the College. Lack of attendance or course abandonment does not constitute course with-drawal. If they do not withdraw in accordance with College procedures, they are subject to full payment of tuition and fees.

Students must fulfill all financial obligations to the College. Overdue student accounts will be sufficient cause for administrative withdrawal from the Col-lege and/or other administrative penalties by the College. Unpaid accounts will be referred for col-lection, and students will bear all costs and charges incurred in collection and/or litigation.

MassBay is responsible for making diligent efforts to collect amounts due the Commonwealth. Diligent efforts shall include written billing and dunning no-tices and subsequent collection, intercept notifica-tion, and/or litigation.

federal/state refund policy / return to title Iv fundsA portion of Title IV, State Grants, and/or loan funds, but not Federal Work-Study funds, may be re-turned to the appropriate programs upon a student’s withdrawal. Withdrawal date is the day the student withdraws (as determined by MassBay):

1. The student begins the withdrawal process prescribed by the school;2. The student otherwise provided the school with official notification of the intent to withdraw; or3. For the student who does not begin the school’s withdrawal process or notify the school of his/ her intent to withdraw, the mid-point of the payment period (semester), unless the school can document a later date.

masspIrGMassPIRG (Massachusetts Student Public Interest Research Group) is a non-profit consumer and environmental organization directed solely by students. Day students are automatically assessed a $9.00 per semester voluntary contribution to the MassPIRG organization. You may waive this fee by completing the necessary paperwork in the Student Accounts Office.

student textbook fundThe Student Government Association and the Mass-Bay Foundation have established this fund to help students defray the increasing costs of educational items such as textbooks and other materials. This fee will be applied to both full and part-time student bills. For more information, including how to apply, please contact the Office of Student Development at 781-239-3142.

student health InsuranceHealth insurance is mandatory. Massachusetts State law requires mandatory health insurance for all students carrying 9 or more credit hours. Coverage may be waived if students provide written documen-tation that they are covered by a comparable health insurance policy and complete the appropriate MassBay forms.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Executive Office of Health and Human Services requirements of 114.6 CMR3.00 define comparable coverage as follows: services covered under the health benefit plan are reasonably accessible to the student in the area where the student attends school. Programs that fall under the Uncompensated Care Pool, com-monly known as “free care,” are not health insurance and do not qualify as a health benefit program of comparable coverage.

Health Insurance is mandatory for students in Health Professions programs regardless of the number of credits being taken. There are additional insurance fees specific to students in Nursing and other Allied Health Programs. Contact the Office of Student Accounts for more information.

liability InsuranceAll Health Professions students in good standing are covered by the College’s approved professional liability insurance.

monthly payment planTuition Pay enables students to spread tuition pay-ments equally over several months. Because it is not a loan, there are no interest or finance charges. By paying monthly, students can limit borrowing and keep the overall cost of education down. The monthly payment plan is available to all families, re-gardless of financial need. The only cost is an enroll-ment fee. For more information, please call Tuition Pay at 800-635-0120 (weekdays 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. and Saturdays 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) or go online, www.tuitionpay.com.

programs of study

programs of studYWhat are curriculum sheets?The curriculum sheets outline the courses required to complete an associate degree or certificate. Curriculum sheets are intended to illustrate the suggested progression for completing a degree in four (4) semesters; however, they are flexible to allow for an individualized approach.

Are all the courses that I need to graduate listed on the curriculum sheets?Curriculum sheets do not include pre-requisite courses or preparatory math or preparatory English courses. Students should meet with their Academic Counselor when planning their academic schedules.

Can I transfer to a 4-year program after I finish my program at MassBay?Many associate degree programs at MassBay qualify for transfer opportunities at certain Massachusetts state colleges and universities including Joint Admissions, Commonwealth Transfer Compact (CTC), and Tuition Advantage Program (TAP). Students interested in transferring to a four-year institution to pursue a baccalaureate degree should consult with a transfer counselor.

What are prerequisites?A prerequisite is a course, condition, or a test that is needed prior to taking a course or a program. An example of a course prerequisite:• Biology 101 (BI 101) is a prerequisite for Anatomy and Physiology I (BI 115). This means you have to take BI 101 BEFORE you can take BI 115.

An example of a program prerequisite:• EMT Certification is a prerequisite for the Paramedicine program. This means you have to complete the EMT Certification BEFORE you can be in the Paramedicine program.

A massage therapist is a licensed practitioner, trained in the manipulation of soft tissues of the body. Techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, and vibration are used during a massage session to promote relaxation, reduce pain, increase circulation, and aid in the restoration and maintenance of health. Licensed massage therapists are employed as part of health care teams in a variety of settings including hospitals, sports medicine clinics, and rehabilitation facilities. They also work in spas, holistic health centers, corporate wellness centers, and in group and private practices.

Students in the 600-hour therapeutic massage certificate program will receive a solid foundation on which to build a career as a professional massage therapist. Course work includes anatomy and physiology with a focus on the musculoskeletal system, business ethics, pathological conditions of the body, mastery of Swedish massage techniques, and introduction to neuromuscular techniques, and an overview of related bodywork systems, including Asian and energy modalities. Clinical practice in the campus massage therapy clinic provides opportunity for mastery of skills while working with the public in a simulated massage business environment.

The goals of the therapeutic massage program are to prepare students for licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and to graduate massage therapists who are competent health care providers. In addition, graduates are strongly encouraged to take the National Certification Exam for Massage given by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Please go to www.ncbtmb.org for more information.

Upon completion, the certificate in therapeutic massage is awarded.

College Policies

Facility Use PolicyPreface: “Massachusetts Bay Community College (hereafter MassBay) is a public institution of higher education funded in major part by legislative appropriations and student tuition and fees. Over the years considerable money and other resources have been spent to build, improve, and equip

MassBay facilities for students and staff alike, and to provide essential community services. As steward of the public trust, MassBay facilities are operated at all times in a safe, healthy and secure manner for all appropriate, approved users of the College’s physical assets. Therefore, MassBay physical facilities of any kind or nature are for the sole use of current students and staff, approved community users, or other groups or individuals who have, upon appropriate application to the College, been approved by the President or his/her designee to use a specific physical asset of MassBay.” Below are specific policies for internal and external facility use. Failure to comply with the facility use policy by internal individuals and/or groups shall result in discipline, up to and including termination. Failure to comply with the facility use policy by external individuals and/or groups shall result in immediate contract cancellation. All groups, internal and external, by scheduling an event, meeting or gathering agree to adhere to these policies. All groups, internal and external, by scheduling an event, meeting or gathering, agree to follow the published emergency procedures in the event of an emergency.

External GroupsFacilities at MassBay are primarily for purposes of college instruction, college programs, student life and public service. Facilities may be used by the community but are not available for unrestricted use by non-college groups. The President of MassBay or his/her designee is authorized to approve or arrange for scheduling the use of facilities by applicants who may be community members and stakeholders in the mission of MassBay but in any event are not in direct conflict with the mission statement of MassBay. The right is reserved to revoke any such permit, without liability, should such action be deemed necessary or desirable.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act(FERPA) of 1974The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents [or guardians] certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are “eligible students.”

Parents [or guardians] or eligible students have the

right to inspect and review the student’s education records maintained by the school. Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. Schools may charge a fee for copies. Parents [or guardians] or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent [or guardian] or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent [or guardian] or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent [or guardian] or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):

• School officials with legitimate educational interest;• Other schools to which a student is transferring;• Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;• Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;• Accrediting organizations;• To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;• Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and• State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

Schools may disclose, without consent, “directory” information such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents [or guardians] and eligible students about directory information and allow parents [or guardians] and eligible students a


www.massbay.edu • 781-239-3000 169

reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.For additional information or technical assistance, you may call (202) 260-3887 (voice). Individuals who use TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339. Or you may contact the following address: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-4605

Notice of Non-DiscriminationMassBay does not discriminate on the basis of sex, creed, color, race, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability or veteran or marital status in all of its educational programs, activities or employment policies, as required by Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments and other federal and state anti-discrimination laws. MassBay makes a serious effort to represent a diverse group of students, faculty and staff, and to promote a climate of acceptance for minority groups. If you have any questions about compliance with Title IX, please contact the Affirmative Action Officer at MassBay.

Crime Awareness and Campus Security ActMassBay complies with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 Section 485 (f ) (1) (F) of 20 U.S.C. 1092 (a) (1) (Public Law 101- 542). The College also complies with the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (Public Law 102-325) by developing, including and distributing, as part of the College’s annual security report, a statement of policy regarding the College’s annual security report, a statement of policy regarding the College’s sexual assault programs and the procedures to be followed once a sex offense has occurred.

On November 8, 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 under Public Law 101-542, Title II. This act requires that institutions of higher education receiving federal funding collect information with respect to crime statistics and campus security policies and, as of

September 1992, prepare, publish and distribute an annual security report. MassBay, in accordance with legal mandates and its philosophy of establishing and maintaining an environment of learning and a supportive climate in which to conduct the business and mission of the college, provides this information to the college community through the Office of Administrative Services.

Policy Concerning Sexual AssaultThe Community Colleges are committed to providing an atmosphere for learning that is free of any conduct that could be considered harassing, abusive or disorderly. Sexual assault is a criminal offense. Sexual assault in any form, including acquaintance rape, will not be tolerated. Sexual assault, as defined in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting System, includes forcible and non-forcible offenses.

When an allegation of sexual assault is made, MassBay will encourage the alleged victim to pursue criminal prosecution under the Massachusetts criminal statutes. In addition, appropriate campus disciplinary action may be pursued. Sanctions for sexual assault violations may include, in addition to criminal charges, suspension, dismissal or expulsion from the College.

All allegations of sexual assault will be handled confidentially to the extent possible and will be investigated. Both the accuser and the accused will have equal opportunity for hearing.

Copies of this policy are available in the offices of Student Development, Affirmative Action, Continuing and Professional Education, Evening Services Office, Campus Safety and Security, Deans, and the Library.

Policy on Sexual HarassmentSexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and is unlawful, unacceptable, impermissible, and intolerable. For general purposes, sexual harassment may be described as unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical conduct and/or expressive behavior of a sexual nature when:(1) submission to such conduct is made either



explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or education; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual; or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s academic or professional performance and creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning employment or educational environment. In addition to sexual harassment being unlawful, it is also unlawful to retaliate against a student, employee, or any other person in the College for filing a complaint of sexual harassment or for cooperating in an investigation of sexual harassment.

A student, employee, or any other person in the College who is found to have engaged in sexual harassment is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment or expulsion.A full copy of Massachusetts Bay Community College Policy Concerning Sexual Harassment is available from the Affirmative Action Office.
