HistoryUnion County College has a remarkable history as New Jersey’s firstcommunity college. The College has lived three separate lives since itsbirth in 1933 as a one-room night school in a Union County highschool. Over the past eight decades, the College that was known asUnion County Junior College, Union Junior College, and Union Collegeis now Union County College, a comprehensive community collegeserving 20,000 credit and non-credit students at three campuses inUnion County, New Jersey.

U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt founded Union County JuniorCollege as an “emergency junior college” through the federal WorksProject Administration. The College’s original mission was to providejobs for unemployed teachers and professors.

By 1936, the College became Union Junior College as an independent,non-profit, degree-offering institution governed by a Board of Trustees.The College’s mission was to prepare students for transfer to earnbachelor’s degrees.

In 1982, the County-funded Union County Technical Institute mergedwith the 50-year-old junior college (named Union College) to formUnion County College. The merger included the establishment of aBoard of Trustees to oversee College operations, and a separate Boardof Governors to act in an advisory capacity and to elect four of itsmembers to serve on the Board of Trustees.

With the merger of the Technical Institute and the existing junior college,Union County College adopted the multi-tiered mission of an open-access, comprehensive community college. As such, the College hasover 60 associate degree and certificate programs, as well asnoncredit opportunities for continuing education and workforcedevelopment. The College is committed to its “open door” mission asevidenced by its providing developmental education for academicallyunderprepared students. Since fall 2014, the College has attracted theCounty’s brightest students to participate in its American HonorsProgram, a cohort-based degree program that provides honors studentswith seamless transfer to the nation’s top universities.

Union County College has campuses in Cranford, Elizabeth, Plainfield,Scotch Plains, and an academic presence in Rahway. An increasingnumber of students are also taking classes online, as the College offersmore than 150 classes through its distance-education program.

More than half of the College’s students are enrolled on the CranfordCampus’ 47-acre suburban setting. The Elizabeth Campus is located inthe heart of New Jersey’s fourth largest city, and more than 40 percentof the College’s students take at least one class in either the Lessner orKellogg buildings in Elizabeth.

The Plainfield Campus doubled its footprint in 2013 with the purchaseof property that was once an automotive parts facility. In fall 2015, theHealth Sciences building opened with state-of-the-art labs for thePractical Nursing, Emergency Health Science, and ParamedicPrograms.

The Cranford campus expanded in 2016, thanks to the Union CountyImprovement Authority. A two-story, 40,000 square-foot facility, anextension of the renovated historic Nomahegan Building, is now thehub of the campus. The Student Development Building houses a widerange of student services on the first floor in the Helen E. ChaneyStudent Services Center, named for the generous donor and alumnaHelen Chaney, ’48. The second floor houses classrooms as well asfaculty and departmental offices.

In August 2016, the Annex at the Plainfield campus finally re-openedafter being shuttered for four years by a fire. The renovated buildingcontains an Information Commons, bookstore, cafeteria, and has facultyoffices on the second floor.

In June 2017, the Middle States Commission on Higher Educationreaffirmed Union’s accreditation after more than three years of hardwork preparing for the visit and evaluation by the College’s faculty,staff, and administration. The Commission is a voluntary, non-governmental, membership association that defines, maintains, andpromotes educational excellence across institutions with diversemissions, student populations, and resources.

The most recent renovations were completed during the spring of 2018to the first floor and lower level of the Lessner Building at the Elizabethcampus. The first floor houses a new Student Services Center and thelower level has offices and training classrooms for the College’s Centerfor Economic and Workforce Development. The addition of the newStudent Services Center has allowed the College staff to providemodernized and streamlined services for our students and to continuewith our mission of transforming our community…one student at a time!

Leave of Absence PolicyLeave of Absence (LOA) is a federally mandated policy for all studentswho receive Title IV federal financial assistance (Federal Pell Grants,Federal Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Parent Loans,and Student Educational Opportunity Grants). Under certain conditions(such as personal, military services, illness or health, employment,humanitarian or church service, family responsibilities, and financialobligations) students may request a LOA from the College.

A LOA will allow the student’s status to remain as “in school,” makingthe student eligible for a deferment on student loans during theapproved time while not actively registered with the College. However,the specific requirements by which the student agreed to abide at thetime any financial aid was accepted will remain in effect (approvedstudents are advised to contact their loan servicer(s) for repaymentinformation and grade period expiration policy).

For LOA – six months (180 days) or less:

• Students’ Federal loans will enter into grace. Federal Direct StudentLoans have a six month grace period, and Federal Perkins Loanshave a nine month grace period.

• During a grace period, students are not required to make paymenton their federal student loans.

• If a student returns to school (at least half-time) within the grace peri-od, their federal student loans re-enter into an “in school” status.Students are not required to make payments with this “in school” status.

• Students will want to contact the lender(s) of any private studentloans they may have to determine whether they are required to makeany payments when they are not enrolled in classes.

The student’s request for a LOA must be in writing, signed and dated,and submitted to the Director of Financial Aid. The student will submit arequest prior to non-attendance unless unforeseen circumstances preventthe student from doing so. The student should drop all futureregistration, so as to not incur charges. The LOA must be completedand reason for requesting the LOA should be substantiated. The LOArequest should give a reasonable expectation that the student will returnfrom the LAO to complete classes. The student may submit additionalsupporting documentation as deemed appropriate. The following datamust be provided on the LOA request:

• Complete name• Student ID number• Email address• Degree program• Semester the LOA is being submitted for• State and end date for the LOA• Current enrollment hours• Student’s current standards of progress status• Complete explanation for the LOA request

The Director of Financial Aid will review the request and either approve,deny, or request additional information within seven (7) business daysof receipt. The student will be notified of the decision by email. Oncethe LOA is approved the student must attend a LOA advisement sessionprovided by one of the College’s Financial Aid Counselors. The studentwill need to schedule that appointment and attend to complete the LOArequest process.

Retaking CourseworkYou are eligible to receive federal financial aid for only one retake of apreviously passed coursed.

Remedial CourseworkRemedial coursework prepares a student for study at the postsecondarylevel. Schools are permitted to count up to one academic year’s worthof remedial courses as eligible for federal financial aid.

For the purpose of this limit, that translates into 30 semester hours. Oncea student has completed 30 TOTAL semester hours of remedialcoursework, any additional hours of remedial courses cannot beincluded in financial aid eligibility.

At Union County College, any courses with a Developmental (DV)designation are considered to be remedial courses, for financial aidpurposes. After a student has completed 30 credit hours ofDevelopmental Coursework, any further hours are deducted from thestudent’s enrollment in a term.

Book AllowanceA book allowance is offered as an aid to assist students with the cost oftextbooks and essential course related supplies and is available for thefirst three weeks of Fall/Spring semesters, and for the first two weeks ofSummer/Mini semesters. If your financial aid award (excluding collegework-study or federal work-study) is greater than the tuition and feescharged for the semester, you may be eligible for a book allowance.Students should be financially prepared for out-of-pocket expenditureswhen their maximum book allowance has been reached.

Book allowance purchases are charged against the student’s financialaid. Purchases over the amount of the book allowance are theresponsibility of the student. In the event the student’s financial aidaward is reduced or canceled, all book allowance purchases are thefinancial responsibility of the student. Some students may not be eligibleto receive a book allowance but may be covered under the bookvoucher program. For more information, visit the Student ServicesCenter on any of the three campuses.

GradesThe College uses the following system of grading to indicate onits records the quality of a student’s work:

A . . . . . . ExcellentB+ . . . . . Very GoodB . . . . . . GoodC+ . . . . . Above AverageC . . . . . . SatisfactoryD+ . . . . . Below Average (not recognized for transfer)D . . . . . . Below average – lowest passing grade

(not recognized for transfer)F . . . . . . FailingI. . . . . . . Incomplete*XF . . . . . Incomplete changed to failing*UF . . . . . Unofficial withdrawal (student stopped

attending; or did not officially withdraw; calculated as a failing grade)

W . . . . . Official withdrawalAU . . . . . Audit (no credit)

* An “Incomplete” grade may be given in cases of extenuatingcircumstances approved by the Instructor. A grade reported as“Incomplete” at the end of a semester will be permanently recordedas “ XF”(=F) if the Incomplete is not removed within the first six weeksof the next regular semester. It is the student’s responsibility to makeacceptable arrangements with the instructor to complete the courserequirements within this period. If the student is unable to contact theinstructor, timely notice should then be given to the Division Dean.

It is the student’s responsibility to report an error on his/her recordedgrade to the Instructor within two weeks of posting of the grade.Otherwise, it is assumed that the grade recorded is accurate and willbe recorded permanently on the student’s record. A student’s academicstanding is based upon his/her performance in all courses expressed interms of the “academic average” he/she achieves. In computing thisaverage, the following numerical values are assigned to each lettergrade.

Grade Numerical ValueA . . . . . . . . 4B+ . . . . . . . 3.5B . . . . . . . . 3C+ . . . . . . . 2.5C . . . . . . . . 2D+ . . . . . . . 1.5D . . . . . . . . 1F . . . . . . . . 0XF . . . . . . . 0UF . . . . . . . 0I . . . . . . . . . 0

Numerical quality points are then determined by multiplying the abovevalues by the number of credit hours which the course carries. Forexample, a three-credit hour course in which the student receives a Brepresents 9 quality points earned.

Academic average is determined by dividing the total number of qualitypoints earned by the total number of credits taken, whether passed orfailed. The following table is an illustration of this computation:

GRADE & QUALITY NUMERICAL POINTSCourse . . . Credits Value Per CourseHIS 101 . . . . . 3 C (2) 6PSY 101 . . . . . 3 B (3) 9BIO 111 . . . . . 4 D (1) 4FRE 101 . . . . . 3 A (4) 12ENG 101 . . . . 3 B+ (3.5) 10.5CST 101 . . . . . 3 F (0) 0 . . . . . . . . . . . 19 41.5

Total credits taken: 19Total quality points earned 41.5

41.5 divided by 19 results in a 2.18 grade point average.

Grades received in the preparatory or developmental courses are notincluded in the computation of averages, but are considered in thecalculation for assigning probation or dismissal by the AcademicProgress Committee.

Employment of healthcare occupations is projected

to grow 18 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster

than the average for all occupations, adding about

2.4 million new jobs. Healthcare occupations are

projected to add more jobs than any of the other

occupational groups. This projected growth is mainly

due to an aging population, leading to greater demand

for healthcare services.

The median annual wage for healthcare practitioners and technical occupations (such

as registered nurses, physicians and surgeons, and dental hygienists) was $63,420 in

May 2016, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations in the

economy of $37,040.

The Engineering program offers the first two years of a four-year engineering curriculum and prepares graduates for transfer to bachelor's degree programs at leading engineering colleges throughout the country. The first two years are common to most fields of engineering (e.g., civil, electrical, and mechanical), but in the second year some students may begin to specialize in a field of their choice (e.g., chemical engineering).

Union County College has dual admissions and formal transfer agreements with New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University, and other colleges. Due to the diversity of engineering curricula in certain fields of specialization, it is sometimes necessary for graduates to take one or two additional courses before attaining junior status at the transferring college.

The stated sequence of courses for the Engineering program assumes the completion of all prerequisites for the mathematics courses or satisfactory performance on the College Level Mathematics exam. Contact the STEM Division for further information. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:

• Employ computer software applications to represent and solve technical problems;

• Analyze problems of a technical nature and evaluate the merits of alternative proposals in the design of computer based solutions;

• Perform laboratory procedures and assess the validity of experimental/diagnostic data;

• Employ critical thinking and problem solving skills to solve technical problems;

• Express and interpret both technical and non-technical concepts orally, in writing, and in electronic formats;

• Demonstrate information literacy through familiarity and the effective use of engineering information resources.

AFTER UNION COUNTY COLLEGE Graduates are eligible to take advantage

of the many transfer/articulation agreements Union County College has with some of the top four-year colleges and universities in the country. See a
