III. Standing agenda itemsA. May BOT Consent and Curriculum and Student Success agenda – Washousky with D’Aquino

1. Student Activity Fee Allocation Recommendation – Clark – The Student Activity Fee AllocationCommittee per policy and guidelines, has unanimously approved their recommendations for the2017‐2018 fiscal year.  The committee’s process included a call for funding proposals advertised onECC TODAY.  The committee received (18) funding applications and (17) proposals were funded. Allproposals were discussed by the committee, and several departments were called in to present andanswer questions.  Due to an estimate of decreased enrollment for the 2017‐2018 school year, thecommittee made a 5% decrease across the board for all proposals.  In addition, each request wasdiscussed using the criteria of previous spending and proposed activity in the 2017‐2018 schoolyear.  The Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee recommendations are separate from therequest to raise the Student Activity Fee. Trustee Swarts made a motion to accept therecommendations of the Activity Fee Allocations Committee for Board of Trustees review andapproval as presented.  Please refer to document #2 Curriculum and Student Success – For theBoard’s Approval in the May 25, 2017 meeting documents – All of the committee were in favor ofthe recommendations with no changes.

2. Athletics Funding through increase in student Activity Fee– D’Aquino discussed the proposal toincrease the student activity fee to fund athletics and wellness.  Seven different scenarios werediscussed and the options can be viewed at the following link:https://myecc.ecc.edu/BOT/Curriculum%20and%20Student%20Success/Forms/AllItems.aspx  The

discussion included maintaining athletics as at present, opportunity for wellness program, cost cutting options, consequences of negative action, costs of growing the athletic program to meet Title IX rules and how that growth was to be financed, analysis and review needed for checks and balances of the athletic program, and effect of additional costs to students.  Trustee McCallum was comfortable with option # 4.1 with a change to a yearly review by the allocations committee as BOT policy requires.  Trustee McCallum’s decision was based on the fact that our institution is not ready for a jump to a wellness program at this time and athletics could be financed, without the student Activity Fees.  Also, a negative of having a separate athletic fee, is the student voice for input would be limited.  If passed, the increased funds would be subject to the Student Activity Fee Allocation Policy.  Trustee Swartz made a motion to recommend option # 4.1 with changes.  Trustee Hobler abstained and the remainder of the committee were in favor.   

3. Online Bill of Rights – status update – Provost Washousky – Initially approved by the College Senate.  The policy committee has made changes culminating two years of negotiations.  Trustee Swarts made a motion to accept the updated policy and all were in favor of the policy moving forward.

Life Experience Assessment Program Updated 5/19/2017 P a g e | 1

Life Experience Assessment Program (LEAP) (Also known as: Prior Learning Assessment PLA)

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS

The Life Experience Assessment Program (LEAP) is designed to help you reflect upon what you have learned in your life and

how that learning may be applied to a College degree. The purpose of the Program is to identify and document prior learning

in your experience and determine its applicability to your degree.

College credit can be granted only for verifiable college level learning acquired through life or work experience. The focal

point of the assessment process is the preparation of a Portfolio that contains evidence of learning. You will be responsible

for becoming familiar with the requirements of the degree of your choosing and for verifying that your learning applies to

that particular degree in the Portfolio. The Portfolio consists of documents that you prepare to demonstrate that certain

experiences have provided college-level learning.

The appropriate Department Chair will provide advisement and assistance during the preparation process, but you should

keep in mind that the responsibility for meeting deadlines and fulfilling the requirements for the Portfolio and the

assessment of the Portfolio remains with you. (Eligibility for LEAP review includes full-time matriculated students only.)

The following procedures will be used to process your request:

1. You will send a summary of your request for assessment of prior learning to the Department Chair via email,

including how many credits are being requested, and for what courses.

2. Once instructed by the Department Chair to proceed, you will follow the instructions in this document to prepare a

Portfolio (which can be in the form of an organized binder, or preferably an online packet of information sent via

email as a single attachment) including:

Section I – General Information

Section II – Resume

Section III – Statement of Request

Section IV – Professional Training

Section V – Other Learning Experiences

3. The Department Chair will review the request, and take the following steps:

a. Appoint two faculty assessors and any other individuals deemed appropriate department LEAP committee

who will be responsible for ensuring that the learning documented in the Portfolio is equivalent to credit

earned at the College, and can be applied toward a degree or certificate.

b. Forward the Portfolio to the department LEAP committee for review.

c. Coordinate meetings and provide advisement as necessary.

d. Notify student of the total amount due.

4. You are responsible for the cost of $70.00 for the first six credits (non-refundable) and $25.00 for each additional

approved credit hour. (It is your responsibility to hand carry payment to the appropriate campus Bursar Office.)

5. Upon receipt of the LEAP Committee Decision Form, the Academic Dean’s office will send a memo to the Registrar’s

office, and provide a written statement to you with the total amount of credits awarded, along with the Committee

Decision Form.

Life Experience Assessment Program Updated 5/19/2017 P a g e | 2

Life Experience Assessment Program (LEAP)

STUDENT PORTFOLIO INSTRUCTIONS

The purpose of the Portfolio is to provide the College a means to assess, evaluate and possibly assign academic credit for

your formal and informal learning. The amount of credit to be awarded will be determined by the evidence provided in the

Portfolio and demonstrated by examinations or other evaluation techniques outlined in the Portfolio.

Do not attempt to complete the Portfolio without discussing your intention with your Department Chair. Please read these

portfolio instructions carefully before beginning to prepare the Portfolio.

Section I – General Information

Fill-in all of the requested information in this section. The relationship of the credits to be awarded and your major are very

important to the LEAP committee. If you are undecided about your major, you should be able to explain in Section III how

your request for credit can apply to any Major at the College.

Listed are the requirements that must be met before credits are awarded:

1. You must be a matriculated student in the process of completing an academic semester.

2. Your Portfolio must provide documentation justifying your request for credit.

3. If you intend to receive a degree from Erie Community College, you must successfully complete a minimum of 30

hours of credit. Acceptance of transfer credits is the prerogative of the appropriate college academic department.

Section II – Resume

The Resume is intended to give a brief record of the experience and activities in which you have participated. This record will

provide an overview of your activities for the LEAP committee and should help you identify experiences from which you have

acquired demonstrable collegiate-level learning. (You may insert your own resume in place of this section in the packet.)

You may use additional sheets to list your employment history, military service and other experiences. This resume should be

brief BUT complete. Consequently, all your activities should be included in the list. Even if you are not seeking credit for

what you may have learned in a particular place of employment, it is important to the LEAP committee that they have your

complete background.

Section III – Statement of Request

The LEAP committee needs to have a clear statement from you concerning precisely what you want. The following items

should be covered in your statement:

1. Why you are seeking credit for learning you have acquired in experiences prior to and external from Erie Community

College programs?

2. What experience will be the basis for your request?

3. Why should the LEAP committee favorably accept your request?

4. How do these experiences relate to your chosen degree program?

You should be familiar with your graduation requirements before attempting to prepare your statement.

Life Experience Assessment Program Updated 5/19/2017 P a g e | 3

Section IV – Professional Training

The American Council of Education has evaluated a number of Professional Training Programs and has given

recommendations regarding the awarding of academic credit for courses within those programs. The Department Chair will

be able to help you identify these courses. All that will be required for you to do regarding these courses is to complete the

chart in Section IV. All other professional training activities will require further documentation.

Certificates for professional training provide an indicator of a level of learning; however, they do not, by themselves, provide

sufficient evidence of learning. Further supporting evidence must be presented. In order to further substantiate professional

training represented by certificates, you should submit specific information concerning course content. For each course

listed in Section IV for which you have received a certificate, also provide a course syllabus. This syllabus should include:

Course content, time (in hours) spent in the class, required readings, format of class, name of instructor, his title, what type

of tests (if any) were given and copies of the tests (if available).

You should include the certificate of any formal letter of completion that you received and a statement of what you learned

in each course.

If you have completed a professional training program that did not award certificates, you should provide the same

information as noted previously. In addition, it is important that the LEAP committee be able to contact someone (Personnel

Director, Training Supervisor, etc.) at your place of employment (or former employment) to receive any records they may

have kept. Thus, it is important that you give us this address and phone number.

Section V – Other Learning Experiences

After you have determined which experiences may be suitable for being considered for academic credit, place them in a

category as outlined in Section V of the Student Portfolio Form. For each experience, you should provide all of the following

information. The LEAP Committee requires as much documentation and justification as possible to determine if the level of

learning you have acquired in your experience is commensurate with college-level learning.

College-level learning may be identified in one or more of the following ways:

1. by relating your learning to subject areas traditionally taught in colleges;

2. by indicating that what you have learned is at a level of achievement equal to what is normally taught in college;

3. by comparing your learning with groups who have completed college-level work;

4. by relating you learning to a personal goal that might require college-level learning;

5. by identifying your learning as that normally acquired after one reaches adulthood;

6. by identifying your learning as that normally acquired after high school and expected for professional acceptance.

Life Experience Assessment Program Updated 5/19/2017 P a g e | 4

For each experience, you must provide written statements about the learning acquired and documentation concerning the

learning.

A. Statements

Your statements should be written so as to demonstrate the general applicability of what you have learned. This

general applicability should demonstrate how you are able to apply what you have learned to other situations.

A second element in your statement should be an ability to demonstrate the learning’s theoretical and practical

nature. Everyone has experiences, but not everyone learns from their experiences. This program requires an

understanding of the distinction between experience and learning. Learning acquired within experience entails an

ability to conceptualize and articulate what you have learned in the experience. College courses seek to provide a

theoretical understanding. You must be able to demonstrate that you have acquired more than just practical

mastery or competence in dealing with the material under consideration. To receive credit for your learning, you

should be able to demonstrate how to do something and why you are able to do what you do. Manual or practical

skill alone is not sufficient.

Your statements should be made with the recognition that an expert is going to evaluate your competence. In

addition, this competence must be related to your degree program. You should show the relationship. For example,

even though you may be an expert electrician and know how and why you wire circuits in prescribed ways, this

knowledge does not seem to apply to most degrees at ECC. Unless you can justify how this knowledge pertains to

the department you are matriculated in, say, our Industrial Technology or Information Technology Departments,

then your request may be rejected.

B. Documentation

All experiences will require some type of documentation. The purpose of the documentation is to provide sufficient

verification of the level of learning that you have acquired. Avoid the danger of either over-documenting or under-

documenting.

Section V includes examples of what you can use to provide evidence of your learning.

C. Other Credits

You might also obtain college credits for prior learning experience through equivalency exams (with minimum

passing scores), and/or successfully completed military courses. Click the links below for more information:
