Grand Rapids Community College believes in its students and in itself. Therefore, the College pledges to its students an Assurance of Quality.Any student who seeks help under the terms of that pledge needs only to go to the academic dean under whose administration the course or courses which apply exist. The academic deans are the Deans of the Schools of: Arts and Science - Dr. Rick Olsen, Workforce Development- Ms. Judy Stark.. Based upon assertions which are found in the college catalog in the Grand Rapids Community College Mission Statement, the College offers its students this pledge:
Students who transfer to a baccalaureate granting college or university with at least a “C” grade in the subject under question, should be able to do as well as or better than their counterparts who enroll as freshmen.
If the students do not perform as well as or better than their counterparts, these students may, upon an official administrative written recommendation from the institutions they are enrolled, take again at no cost the requisite course or courses at Grand Rapids Community College which they need to remove proven deficiencies resulting from faulty Grand Rapids Community College preparation.
Students who have graduated from occupational programs at Grand Rapids Community College and who have earned a certificate or degree may expect to do competently the work for which they are employed if that work is what they were prepared for in their College curriculum.
If any employer observes that a Grand Rapids Community College prepared new employee does not have the skills he or she should have gained in his or her preparation at Community College, that employer may, with a written citation of the deficiencies, request that the College remedy the deficiencies by giving the employee some additional training. This training will be at no cost to the employee or employer. This pledge applies only to those skills in which the student received training in his or her program at Grand Rapids Community College; it does not apply to students who fail to pass licensing, certification, or registration tests required by an external body. In all cases, the transferring student must have transferred within a year after leaving Grand Rapids Community College. The students going directly into training related employment must have done so within a year after having been graduated from Grand Rapids Community College. This pledge applies to students entering Grand Rapids Community College in the fall semester of 1988 and thereafter.
