HYBRID COURSES
Hybrid courses offer the value of in-person, on-campus meeting times, but also rely heavily
on an online education component. Weekly on-campus hours for hybrid courses are about
half of what they are in traditional in-person classes.
IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
All students enrolling for more than 5 credits must sign a Meningitis Response form
acknowledging the receipt of meningitis information. Students must also indicate whether
they have had the meningococcal vaccine within the past ten years. The vaccine is not
required, but a signature is required.
All students born after January 1, 1957 who are enrolling for more than 5 credits must
present one of the following before registration:
1.
Physician proof of two measles immunizations, one mumps immunization and one
rubella immunization, administered on or after their first birthday and after 1968.
2.
Physician-documented history of having measles and mumps disease. Documentation
of the contraction of the rubella disease is not acceptable.
3.
Documented laboratory blood tests that prove existing immunity to any or all of these
diseases.
Check with the Health Center at 914-606-6610 if you have any questions. Then bring two
copies of this information, with your name and social security number on each document,
to the Student Center, Room 112.

INCOMPLETE
A grade of “I” signifies that a course was never completed. It indicates some course work,
usually occurring toward the end of the course, was not done and the professor is giving
you a chance to make it up. One example of the awarding of an Incomplete occurs when a
student misses the final exam. An “I” grade must be made up within one regular semester
or it automatically converts to “IF”. Note that receiving a grade of “I” is NOT a student’s
right. You must ask the professor if he/she is willing to award the “I” grade, and if awarded,
make arrangements with the professor to make up the missed work.
