Elective

This course serves as a required companion enrollment for students participating in select dual credit programs offered through Crowder College in Automotive/Diesel, Manufacturing/Technology, or Healthcare pathways.

Program Support Lab functions as a placeholder course to account for the additional instructional time, lab hours, or clinical experiences required to successfully complete these Crowder College dual credit courses. While students complete their coursework and hands-on learning through Crowder College, this course ensures proper scheduling, attendance tracking, and high school credit alignment.

The course carries unweighted high school credit and does not include separate assignments or grading beyond participation in the associated dual credit coursework. 

Only one enrollment per semester is required, even if a student is enrolled in multiple eligible dual credit courses during the same term.

College Orientation (COLL 101) is required for degree- and certificate-seeking students during their first semester at Crowder College, when required by the declared program of study. Non-degree-seeking students are not required to enroll in COLL 101; however, if a student later becomes degree- or certificate-seeking and the selected program requires the course, successful completion will be required.

Transfer students who have successfully completed an equivalent college orientation course at another institution, or who have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher on a minimum of 12 credit hours completed after high school graduation, are exempt from COLL 101.

This course is designed to acclimate new students to the Crowder College environment by providing essential information, resources, and skills needed for academic and personal success. Emphasis is placed on college expectations, student responsibilities, campus resources, and self-assessment to support informed decision-making and personal development.
