required to have a certain number of clinical hours.
N. Glenn suggested that instead of a restricted
elective, SOC be listed as a Restricted Social
Science Elective. D. Cresap asked about
numbering and N. Glenn said she would check on
that. N. Glenn asked if BIO 117 is offered in the
spring and the group concurred that it is. D.
Cresap asked if there would be any prerequisite
changes due to the addition of the summer course.
T. Ramsey said there would not. N. Glenn asked
about ENG 101 being a pre/corequisite for ST
107. T. Ramsey said ENG 101 is needed for ST
104. It was suggested that the prerequisite of
ENG 101 be placed on ST 104 then it will not have
to be on ST 107 since ST 104 itself is a prerequisite
to ST107. It was mentioned that these changes
appear to increase the credit hours in the both the
CP and AAS programs from 35 to 39 and 63 to 67.
R. Lucki felt that that would not be a problem.

Motion carried.
N. Glenn recapped adjustments that were
discussed at the September meeting: using
semester GPA of 2.0; three semesters on warning;
fourth semester probation –hours limited to 5. She
also asked if we are not going to count summer.
There was some discussion about whether to treat
summer as any other semester and compute the
GPA for SoAP or to disregard it. The group
decided to count summer so that students on
probation would not be able to “sneak” in 12 hours
for summer when they have not had fall or spring
semesters. C. Kefauver asked why 5 hours was
chosen for probation and it was explained that 5
hour was selected for financial aid purposes. At the
September meeting, J. Fike explained to the
committee that when we limit hours to 6 to 11, the
students actually end up getting more money back
via financial aid refund for doing less coursework

Healthcare Information Technology
Training (ARRA) Skill set
V. Riley
New Skill set
Grant-funded training to be completed
in six months. WVNCC is offering
training in four of the six available
roles. Grant period is April 2010 to
April 2012.
D. Cresap stated that she made some changes last
year and that this is really just a bit of clean up
from then. L. Soly mentioned that in the current
catalog, BA 117 and BA 120 are listed as
prerequisites to MAS 151 and they should be
pre/corequisites.
V. Riley introduced this grant funded training and
explained that the funds come from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The funding is to
be used to train those currently employed in a
healthcare or information technology profession to
convert medical records to an electronic format.
She went on to say that the curriculum is
prescribed by the Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
There was no development done by WVNCC,
although D. Cresap, R. Lucki, and D. Goeddel did
attend a curriculum training conference in August.
This will be the first academic skill set that we
have offered.
N. Glenn mentioned that it would be a nice area of
emphasis for the Board of Governors AAS and
offered to print certificates of completion for the
training. She then asked if there will be more than
course descriptions in the catalog. There is a
catalog layout prepared for it. S. Rychlicki asked

which role would serve a small medical office best.
D. Cresap replied that the Trainer would be the
best one for a small office. V. Riley also stated that
there have been Regional Extension Centers
(RECs) established by a similar grant and that they
have some funds for smaller offices to assist with
training and implementation. The RECs are
working with employers to determine what they
need.
Radiological Technology, AAS
Transfer of existing technical
components from Wheeling Hospital to
WVNCC.
R. Lucki, V. Riley, (M. Kahl, M.
Stephens)
V. Riley began with a history of the College’s
partnership with Wheeling Hospital and explained
that the appropriate forms have been filed with the
Joint Review Commission on Education in
Radiologic Technology and are under review. The
hospital’s accreditation term is through 2016 and
no problems are anticipated in having the transfer
approved.
N. Glenn asked if we would be continuing the
degree completion program with OVMC and other
hospitals. V. Riley said that we would. R. Lucki
stated that while Wheeling Hospital was only able
to accept 10 students, that we will be able to accept
20 due to our various clinical affiliations.
N. Glenn stated that we would need program
outcomes for the catalog. L. Soly asked if all
classes will be in Wheeling. Classes will be on the
Wheeling campus, but there are clinical sites near
all of our campuses, for example, Moundsville,

Glen Dale, Barnesville, Washington.
L. Soly stated that this will be great for the
Weirton campus as Eastern Gateway has a two
year waitlist. We will likely be able to gain some
enrollment from there.
M. Kahl stated that we need to add a prerequisite
of Radiography III to Radiography Seminar. N.
Glenn asked if there would be a “C” or better grade
requirement in the program. R. Lucki said there
will be.
