Admission
Requirements: General college curricular admission
Program

must demonstrate college level proficiency in reading and writing.
Proficiency may be demonstrated as follows:
-
Submission of official college transcripts that record completion of
a college level composition course, or
-
Submission of SAT or ACT scores, taken within the past five years,
at the following levels:
-
ACT Verbal 19

Successful completion of the COMPASS English placement test for ENG 111,
with a
satisfactory score on the reading test. Students with deficiencies in
reading or writing may
require developmental studies to be commenced during their first
semester of enrollment
and completed sequentially every subsequent semester until all
developmental requirements are satisfied.
Faculty provide advising to enhance student success. All students
wishing to enroll in Hospitality Management must attend an advising
session.
Once enrolled,
students must meet with their advisor every semester to review their
scheduling strategy and status toward graduation.
Information about advising and enrolling in classes is available at the
following link:
http://www.reynolds.edu/hospitality/Advising.htm.
Students who earn a final grade lower than "C" in any HRI course
must obtain permission from their advisor to continue the major in Hospitality
Management. Students will normally be required to repeat courses in their
major when grades lower than "C" are earned.
The competency-based
nature of the curriculum allows students with previous educational studies
or training experience to be evaluated for advanced standing. Students who
believe they are eligible for such consideration are required to meet with
their advisor to discuss eligibility for evaluation and possible advanced
standing.
The purpose of the Associate of Applied
Science (AAS) degree curriculum is to prepare students for immediate employment
upon graduation. Four-year college and university transfer opportunities
for Associate of Applied Science degrees, if existing, are usually very
specific in nature. Students may, however, substitute some courses
in the AAS degree curriculum with courses that generally transfer to senior
institutions. Students should consult their advisor at the earliest
possible date for further guidance and are advised to get assurances in
writing in advance from the institution to which they wish to transfer.
Second Degree or Certificate:
The college may grant credit for all completed applicable courses which
are requirements of the additional degree, diploma, certificate, or
career studies certificate. However, the awards must differ from one
another by at least 25% of the credits.
Computer
Competency Requirement: Students in this program will meet the college’s
computer competency requirement by successfully completing
HRI 159.
Curriculum Sequence:
The courses listed
below are required for degree completion, but do not reflect a
prescribed sequence. Recommended sequences can be viewed at
