Frequently Asked Questions
Orientation | Academics | Financial Aid | Housing & Residence Hall Information | Health & Safety | Dining Services | Miscellaneous | Parent Questions
When is Orientation? Orientation activities officially begin on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. and student Orientation activities run through Monday, September 1.
Will there be time during Orientation to set up a bank account, purchase books, or shop for needed items? Limited time is available on Thursday, August 28, 2014 for shopping. It is recommended to take care of these items beforehand. Time is set aside on Saturday, August 30 for students to take a shopping trip. Transportation will be provided by the Dean of Students office. Students will purchase books after registration on Monday, September 1.
Do you recommend any banks? Many banks serve the Claremont area, and we do not endorse any particular one. Several banks have branches within walking distance, including Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, and US Bank. Here is a list of local banks and credit unions.
Am I expected to participate in all of the Orientation activities? What are the benefits of participating? Students are expected to participate in all Orientation activities. Orientation is a time to learn about the College and how it functions, student life, academics, and to begin making friends. Participation in a W.O.A.! trip (Welcome Orientation Adventure) is highly encouraged, and many students have found that they have made friends within the first two weeks of school that last them at least the next four years. Also, Orientation activities include mandatory academic advising and technology sessions that each student must complete.
Will I have an academic advisor? You will be assigned an academic advisor during new student orientation. All advisors are members of the CMC faculty. You may be assigned a professor according to your major, or in cases of undeclared majors, you will be assigned by similar interest. Once you declare a major, you may select a new advisor. Advisors help students pick a course of study, and can assist with most academic questions their advisees have. You must meet with your advisor at least once a semester to discuss which courses you should take the next semester, but many students meet with their advisors more frequently. You may change advisors as many times as you want.
What assistance is available if I am struggling academically? In every department, there are help sessions and tutors available. Also, each professor is generally available even beyond office hours, in person or by email, to assist with questions their students have. You should consult your professors directly about trouble you are having, and talk to your advisor or a counselor if there is a larger problem contributing to your academic difficulties.
Is attendance taken in classes? Some professors take attendance, or scan the classroom in order to see who is there and who is not, but it is for their own grading purposes, not to monitor your activities. You are held personally accountable for your class attendance, and each professor makes it very clear at the beginning of each semester what their expectations are about missed classes.
Will my parents get copies of my grades? No. Because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), all students enrolled at a school past the high school level, and over the age of 18, have sole access to their grades. Most CMC students share their progress with their parents on their own accord. To learn more about FERPA visit http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.
How do I find out information about CMC internships? The Career Services Center sends out email updates with opportunities for students to look into, but students are encouraged to visit the Center on their own and work with one of their staff to find internships that best suits them as individuals. For more information, visit http://csc.cmc.edu.
When is tuition due? How do I pay tuition? The Student Accounts Office sends information about paying tuition and fees. Please visit the Student Accounts Office website.
Is there a GPA requirement for renewal of financial aid? Yes, you must maintain at least a C or 6.0 GPA to renew your financial aid. You must also complete a minimum of 3 courses per semester and have academic standing consistent with CMC requirements.
When do I apply for renewal of aid? At the beginning of each calendar year, all students on financial aid must renew their FAFSA and CSS Profile reports, as well as submit copies of their families' tax records to the IDOC service. This must be done within the first few months of the calendar year.
If I want to live off campus, how does this affect my financial aid? Financial aid awards always include living expenses. However, these expenses depend on where a student lives. If you move off campus, live in a student apartment, or at home, your financial aid award may change. Students who live off campus or in the student apartments generally incur similar room and board expenses as students living on campus. Therefore, a financial aid award most likely will not change. However, if a student moves home, living expenses are still considered when determining a student's financial aid award, but the living cost is less. Therefore, the financial aid award will be adjusted and reduced accordingly.
How do I find a work-study job? Are there enough jobs for everyone? On campus jobs (work study and non-work study) are available in most academic departments, administrative offices, and research institutes, as well as the Emett Student Center, the Athenaeum, the bookstore, and the library. During Orientation, you may apply to various jobs on campus at the job fair. Also, you will receive email bulletins regularly about job opportunities. There are more than enough on-campus work-study jobs for all who want one, but you may also use the resources at the Career Services Center to find off-campus jobs.
Where can I find more information about the residence halls and living on campus? General information is available on the Residential Life page of the DOS website. Information on specific residence halls can be found on this Orientation web site under Residence Hall Information.
What size bed linens do I need? CMC beds are twin extra long. If you are particularly tall you may contact Facilities at Story House to request an extra-extra-long bed and linens, at no extra charge. Most students buy twin extra long sheets at any place linens are available (e.g., Target or Bed, Bath & Beyond).
How does the College determine room assignments? Each new student is asked to fill out a housing form as candidly and honestly as possible. The form provides insight about your preferences regarding study times, level of messiness, music tastes, etc. The Dean of Students office staff uses these forms to match roommates. For the most part, freshman roommates are very successful pairings. Check out the DOS Residential Life webpage for additional information on campus life and housing. Go to the New Student Portal to complete the housing questionnaire.
Can I change roommates in the middle of the semester? It is very uncommon for students to change roommates. If you have a problem concerning your assigned roommate, you should go to your Resident Assistant for advice. Communication and flexibility are important when living with a fellow student in the residence halls. If you are unable to resolve the issues on your own or through mediated discussion, you may request a room reassignment. Reassignments are made based on the situation and housing availability.
Are bathrooms co-ed? No. Though residence halls and some floors in mid and south quads are co-ed, there are separate, gender-specific bathrooms.
Are portable air conditioning units allowed in the residence halls? No. Small oscillating fans and/or box fans help keep rooms cool in those buildings without central air conditioning.
Does CMC offer storage during the semester or over the summer? Closet space is sufficient for most students' needs; however there is limited storage in the residence halls while classes are in session and during winter break. During the summer, you must move all of your possessions out. Public storage units are available for rental from nearby establishments and information regarding summer storage is sent to students via email during the spring semester.
What should I do if something needs to be fixed in my room? You can either call Facilities at Story House at (909) 621-8112 or access the online "Work Order" form which will alert the maintenance staff, and the problem will be taken care of promptly. To access the work request form go to the Student Gateway and click on the "Work Order" button.
Do all residence hall rooms have high speed Internet access? Yes. Each room is equipped with an Ethernet port for each resident. Be sure to bring an Ethernet cable; they are not provided. Ethernet cables are available at Huntley Bookstore.
Does the campus have Wi-fi? Yes. Resident Technology Assistants are available in each residence hall to help you set up wireless access, and it is available almost everywhere on campus. Should you desire wireless access at consortium locations such as the library, you can request help setting that up directly from the Technology Assistants in the computer lab. The College thanks Ryal Poppa '57 GP'08 for funding the wireless network. For additional information about computing, click here.
Am I able to ship belongings to campus before I leave for CMC? You may ship packages to campus one week before you arrive on campus. Anything sent before one week will be returned to sender. Packages may be mailed to: Story House, 742 N. Amherst Ave., Claremont, CA 91711. Your name and box number should be included in the shipping address; you will receive your box number with your housing assignment in early August.
What should I ship to school vs. what should I bring with me? It may be beneficial to ship clothing and pack heavier items, because it could be more cost-effective, depending on how much you are bringing. Make sure to pack less than you think you need, and pick up anything you've forgotten on your next visit home! We do not recommend shipping appliances or furniture. Due to the large volume of mail received in the first few weeks of school, there is limited space to store these items. You may find our checklist useful to pull together what you need.
What should I buy when I arrive as opposed to purchasing at home? Certain bulky items may not be worth bringing, and you can easily purchase them during your first days at school. Clothing hangers, drying rack, iron, laundry hamper and detergent, small shelving units for snacks and toiletries, shower supplies, fan, microwave, mini-fridge -- these are just some of the things that should be purchased in California, if you intend to use them at all. You may also order items through Bed, Bath & Beyond and have it shipped to the local store for pick-up. Click here for more information on local shopping options.
If I can't travel home during holidays and breaks, what options are available? During fall, Thanksgiving, and spring breaks, you are allowed to stay in your residence hall room. Dozens of students stay on or near campus during summer break, because they have jobs here or have chosen to take summer courses. During winter break all students except those living in the on-campus apartments must vacate the residence halls. In the past, students who have not been able to go home during that time have made accommodations to stay with friends or relatives nearby. International students can contact the International Place of the Claremont Colleges if they have any questions. Click this link to view CMC's academic calendar.

Where can I learn more about Student Health Insurance? All students are required to carry health insurance. If you are interested in the Student Health Insurance offered by the Claremont Colleges, information can be found on the New Student Portal under "Medical Insurance Information". You may also contact Lyn Hughes at (909) 607-7950 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
What type of health care and counseling are available on campus? The Claremont Colleges share the Student Health Center, Health Education Outreach, and the Monsour Counseling & Psychological Services. Visits made by appointment are free of charge, and any additional costs (e.g., prescriptions, physical exams, X-rays) are a fraction of the average cost. If you require any ongoing medical treatment or counseling, the Consortium services are prepared to refer you to affiliated local doctors.
Who do I contact for a copy of the Student Health Center charge that appears on my statement? You may contact Student Health Services directly at (909) 621-8222 for billing questions as well as general questions about the services offered.
What are the nearby medical facilities? Most students use the Student Health Center for the majority of their medical care, but if a student requires emergency care past first aid (which RAs and Campus Safety can take care of), there are local hospitals and urgent care centers such as Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Pomona and Montclair Hospital Medical Center.
If I use on-campus counseling services, what will my parents be told? California law treats all medical and counseling services as confidential matters between the health care providers and their patients unless you submit your bill to your parents' insurance plan or you sign a release of information form. Also, if the counselor believes you are at risk in some way, the counselor may communicate with your listed emergency contacts.
What steps does the College take to ensure my safety on campus? CMC has developed and maintains a Comprehensive Safety and Emergency Management System that is designed to protect from, prepare for, and respond to a wide range of threats. As part of this system, regular training and exercises are conducted to ensure that everyone on campus knows what to do in the event of an emergency. In the event of a large-scale disaster the College is equipped to be self sustained for a number of days. Please see the CMC Emergency Preparedness web page.
Does CMC have a security department? To ensure the protection of students, officers from The Claremont Colleges Department of Campus Safety patrol the seven campuses at all times in order to make sure there are no crimes being committed or suspicious people wandering the campuses, and that students are not in distress. Campus Safety Officers are first responders to emergency calls and provide security at parties and special events. Every residence hall has at least one Resident Assistant, who is safety and emergency trained, and regularly briefed on any security issues that may arise.
What will the College do to communicate with me in the event of a disaster? The College has developed and maintains a robust Emergency Communication Program that enables emergency warnings and information to be distributed to students in the following ways:
- Text Message
- CMC's Web Site
- CMC's Emergency Web Site
- Telephone
You should make sure the Dean of Students office has your current cell phone number; your CMC email address will be used for email messages.
Does CMC have a Code of Conduct? Perhaps the most significant factor in the safety of students is the recognized expectation of respect for people and property as outlined in CMC's Basic Rule of Conduct. Students who violate the Basic Rule of Conduct or other College policies are subject to CMC's discipline procedures. The Guide to Student Life includes the Basic Rule of Conduct, nonacademic policies, and emergency procedures. The Guide and discipline procedures can be found at http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/dos/policies.php.
What about having a car on campus? Is a bike a good option? Freshmen are not permitted to bring cars to campus. We believe that new students should spend more time on-campus, developing friendships and settling in. Although about half of returning sophomores, juniors, and seniors bring cars to campus, it is not a necessary part of the CMC experience. Plenty of students ride bicycles or skateboards to get food or run small errands nearby, or even to get to class, but none of these things are necessary. All classes are within easy walking distance, except in rare instances when two classes on different campuses are scheduled too closely together.
Do I need to bring my own bike? CMC has a student-run bike shop located in the basement of Wohlford Hall. Loaner bikes are available to CMC students at no charge for 24 hours. Locks and helmets are also available. A $10 late fee is applied daily to bikes returned after one day. Lost, stolen, or badly damaged bikes will require a reimbursement of $300 plus tax. Students may also bring their own bikes in for repair and services, including inflating or replacing tires, adjusting seats and gears, and replacing brake pads and cables. The Bike Shop is open during the school year from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the week and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekends. Times may be subject to change.
Where should I register a vehicle? Freshmen are not permitted to have a vehicle on campus. It is a violation of college policy to attempt to register a car under someone else's name or to register a car for someone else. Transfer students may register their vehicles with Campus Safety.
Do you make sure that students are back in their residence halls every day? There is no such monitoring of students at most college campuses, and certainly not at CMC. One of the most important aspects of college life is gaining independence, and it is your responsibility to manage class attendance, academic progress, proper health and nutrition, sleep habits, etc. If you are absent from a number of classes, your faculty member may contact one of the staff in the Dean of Students Office and request that we follow-up with you.
I am worried about substance use on campus. Student safety and well-being are extremely important to us; therefore, CMC employs several measures to discourage the use of controlled substances and to encourage responsible behavior when students of legal drinking age choose to drink. The College works with Student Government and groups of students who wish to register campus events where alcohol will be present to make sure that ID cards are checked and safety measures are in place. We think it is incredibly helpful when parents and students talk openly about substance use, and we hope you will do this before you set off to CMC. To view the alcohol and drug policy, see the Guide to Student Life at http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/dos/policies.php.
Because CMC students do not tend to go off-campus to drink, we have almost no problems with drunk-driving, and the College has a very low rate of alcohol or substance related emergencies compared to other schools. Freshman Orientation includes informational and discussion sessions concerning such behavior so that you know from the beginning that the College views substance abuse as unacceptable. Should an emergency arise, Resident Assistants are trained to recognize and respond when students are in danger, both in first aid and in contacting medical personnel if necessary. We also have a substance-free residence hall in which many students choose to live for their entire time at CMC.
For more information about dining at CMC, visit http://www.cmc.edu/studentaffairs/foodservices/. We offer regular meals per week in Collins Hall, which is managed by the Bon Appétit Company. The Bon Appétit Company uses the freshest ingredients and makes as many products as possible from scratch. Bon Appétit also has a program called "Farm-to-Fork", which includes foods that are entirely organic, vegan, and locally grown. Finally, through a cooperative agreement in Claremont, students may eat at any of the dining halls at the other Colleges. For these reasons, we think our program offers incredible variety, flexibility, and quality.
Do I have to have a meal plan? All students living in the residence halls are required to select one of the CMC meal plans. Students living off-campus or in the student apartment complex have the option of selecting a meal plan. The residence halls are not set-up for cooking meals.
Which meal plans are the most popular? Students living on campus must be on the 8, 12, 14, or 16 meal plan, which allow for that many meals per week and include $80, $120, $140, or $160 of "Board Plus Dollars" per semester, respectively. The most popular tends to be the 12-meal plan. Click here to view more information about the meal plans available.
Can I eat at the other colleges? CMC recognizes that our students take classes at all of the other undergraduate colleges in our consortium, are involved in activities across campus lines, and sometimes just want a change of environment. For these reasons, the College participates in a cross-dining relationship, whereby students may enjoy meals at any of the college dining halls.
What are "Board Plus" dollars? Included in each meal plan is an allotment of Board Plus dollars per semester. Each Board Plus dollar is equivalent to one dollar in cash and is tracked electronically on the student's ID card. Board Plus dollars may be used at any of the "cash operations" at the undergraduate Colleges in lieu of cash for food and beverages. Students may also use Board Plus dollars to bring a guest into the dining halls. Unused Board Plus dollars do not roll over to the next semester.
What is Claremont Cash? Claremont Cash can be used to purchase food and non-food items throughout The Claremont Colleges and selected merchants in Claremont. All students have a Claremont Cash account established when they receive their ID cards. Funds may be deposited into this account. Unused funds will roll over from one year to the next. A full refund of unspent funds can be requested when you graduate or withdraw from the College. For more information, click here.
Are there vegetarian/kosher options available? There are vegetarian and vegan options at all of the dining halls, but because the dining hall kitchens are not kosher certified, strictly kosher meals are not available.
What food options are available if I have special dietary needs? In case of a food allergy or other dietary need, you are encouraged to discuss the dining hall menu with the chef or dining hall manager.
Is there a way to find out what other students are from my hometown? During the summer, the CMC Alumni Association sponsors new student parties in various locations around the world where you and your parents will have the opportunity to meet classmates, current upperclassmen, alumni, and parents. These events are a great opportunity to meet new people, exchange contact information, and ask questions. For more information, contact the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations at (909) 621-8097.
Do you recommend any cellular phone providers? Most cell phone service providers offer coverage in the Claremont area, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, and Nextel. Be sure to confirm the coverage area and quality of service of any cell phone provider that you may contract with.
When should I begin my career exploration and using Career Services? We'd like you to get started as soon as you are ready. Our Career Services Center offers skills assessment, counseling, workshops, employer and industry discussions, on-campus interviews, and many other services.
I still have questions. Who should I contact? For additional questions, please feel free to call or email the following individuals:

What is Parents Orientation? Parents Orientation is a welcome program designed specifically for parents and guardians of new students. This two-day program consists of special presentations designed to help family members assist with their student's transition to college by becoming familiar with the College and its many resources. During Parents Orientation, parents will be acquainted with various aspects of the College's academic, residential, and student life.

I'm flying in, which airport is closest to Claremont McKenna College? The closest airport to Claremont McKenna College is Ontario International Airport, located about 10 miles from campus. International students can contact International Place at The Claremont Colleges for additional information and arrival assistance.
Where do I park during Parents Orientation and will parking tickets be issued? During Parents Orientation, you are welcome to park in any available legal parking space on the CMC campus. Parking permits are not needed during Orientation. Vehicles that are parked in a manner that may impede the flow of traffic or response by emergency vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense without prior notification. Campus Safety will not ticket non-registered cars on move-in day. There are some cases where they may ticket, such as a car parked in a handicap space with no placard. If someone is actively unloading a car in a red zone, they will not ticket, but if a car is left unattended in a red zone or parked there, they may ticket it. The City of Claremont can issue tickets for illegal parking on city streets or in fire lanes. To read CMC's parking policy click here. To view CMC's parking lot map, click here.
We'll be arriving in Claremont before Orientation. Can my student move into his/her room early or at least store stuff there? Will I have access to my student's room before Wednesday? Students and parents may check-in on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. Keys will only be issued to students. If your student is participating in the Welcome Orientation Adventure (W.O.A.!) trip, he/she may leave their belongings in their room prior to departure; however parents will not be able to have access to their rooms until they return on Wednesday, August 27. W.O.A.! return times will be posted and updated throughout the day, but trips typically return between 2:00pm and 5:00 p.m. Students participating in W.O.A.! will be able to stay in their rooms on Wednesday evening.
How do I access my son or daughter's account? If you student has set you up as an authorized user to their student account on CASHNet, you can view your current statement, check your account balance, make a payment, or view your account transaction history.
Go to the parent link on CASHNet
Payment Methods.
Will I get copies of my students' grades? No. Because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), all students enrolled at a school past the high school level, and over the age of 18, have sole access to their grades. Most CMC students share their progress with their parents on their own accord. To learn more about FERPA visit http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html.
How can parents find out if their student is having problems with classes before it's too late? The best way to keep informed of your student's progress (academic, social, etc.) is to maintain contact with them. You will not be contacted about your student's academic progress by the school unless the situation gets to the point where disciplinary action will have to be taken.
How do I know how much of a "presence" to be in my student's life? I want to build independence, but I still want to know what is going on. How do I balance those two competing ideas? It is important to stay involved in your student's life without hindering their college experience. Encourage your student to keep in touch with you, but be mindful that especially the first few weeks of freshman year are incredibly busy with schoolwork, bonding activities, and meeting new people. Students always appreciate a care package or encouraging note in the mail, and hopefully your student will be comfortable sharing news about classes and their well-being.
How can I feel part of the campus and my student's college experience when I don't live close enough to visit often? The CMC Parent Network is your link to remaining involved in your student's educational community. It is our mission to provide resources, information, and opportunities for parents to become partners with CMC in the educational experiences of their students. You can stay up to date by visiting the Parents Gateway. There are also regional activities in which all parents and alumni can participate. Parents of all current students and alumni are automatic members of the Parent Network, and other family members are welcome to join. There are many volunteer opportunities in which parents can participate regardless of where they live. Parents are encouraged to participate in activities organized by the CMC Alumni Association.
When will we receive information about Parents Weekend? Join the hundreds of parents who travel to CMC and take advantage of this annual three-day event, scheduled for Saturday, February 15 through Monday, February 17, 2014, to get a taste of campus life. Parents Weekend is filled with panel discussions, athletic events, lectures, informal get-togethers, classroom visits, and entertainment. Plan to attend classes on Monday, February 17, which is a holiday for most parents, but is a regular class day in Claremont. Parents Weekend registration packets will be mailed in January and event information will be available on-line. Continue to visit the parent gateway for updated information as well as hotel accommodations.

Are fabricators telling us it is hard when it is really easy, just to make life simple for themselves?) Bring your long-standing complaints with you to this session, but also be prepared to see the problem from the other point of view!

Topp picks up SAAC honor
Senior wing named Raizk Tournament MVP
November 27, 2012
Senior wing LeAnn Topp
WILMINGTON – The Wilmington College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee named women's basketball player LeAnn Topp as its Player of the Week, for the week ending November 23.
Topp (New Bremen, OH/New Bremen) was named Most Valuable Player of the Fred Raizk Memorial Tournament as the Lady Quakers won the event. The senior wing averaged 8.3 points and 7.3 rebounds, but it was her defense that stood out. In the opening game of the tournament, Topp pulled down a tournament-record 15 boards.
Her defense on Saint Vincent leading scorer, Devin McGrath, helped WC pull out the tournament championship. She limited McGrath to just two points on 1-of-7 shooting.
In recognition of her accomplishments, she will receive a T-shirt from SAAC, and her photo and list of accomplishments will be displayed in the lobby of Hermann Court.
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight about the student-athlete experience. SAAC protects student-athlete interests and provides a positive image of student-athletes.

Rip currents expected at Fla. beaches
State officials said Saturday there's an elevated risk of rip currents along Florida's entire Atlantic coast.
According to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, there's a moderate to high risk of rip currents through Sunday from Nassau County south through Miami-Dade County.
Director Bryan Koon said persistent onshore winds and high waves are contributing to the rip currents.
Beachgoers should be aware that red flags on beaches indicate dangerous swimming conditions.

Sharing the screen with those actors will be the Audi R8 - Tony Stark's personal daily driver, an airborne Q7 SUV, and no doubt many other autos branded with the four rings that are subtly slipped in here and there. To drive home the point that Audi is as hip as can be, the German automaker has launched an Iron Man mini-site that, at the moment,... Read More

Outrageous Charges to Canadian Credit Card Customers - Read On!
Posted by
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- In November 2007, I was offered a discount on a few sale items I wanted to purchase if I applied for a J.C. Penney credit card. I asked would I be able to pay on-line, and the answer being in the affirmative, I applied.
I got the bill for $48.94 just as I was moving, so neglected to pay it on time, and was charged $10 late fee...that I didn't mind as that was my responsibility. But I did try to pay on-line and couldn't (because - get this - I had to have an American bank account, though the set-up is the same as for Canadian on-line payments, so the technology is there). I asked if I could pay by MasterCard, but they would only accept a cheque.
I mailed the next cheque in on February 28 after receiving my second bill, yet it did not clear until March 24th, and they now charged me a $20 late fee.
I sent in my next bill on March 19th, which did not clear until April 16th, and you got it - another $20 late fee. So I wrote them.
I received a letter saying they were crediting me $20, which was fine, but today I received a bill saying my balance (after paying them $95) was still $54.55, WITH ANOTHER LATE FEE OF $10.00.
So I phoned them again, and got a very nice lady in customer service who said they had this problem with their Canadian clients all the time.
I said I wanted to speak to a supervisor then, and she said she would pass me on after clearing my balance (my payments were not all showing, though I gave her the dates they had cleared my bank).
She added that they were going to be making it possible for Canadian clients to pay on-line or with a major credit card within the next few weeks, and that I should be getting a credit.
She was great, and I think her and told her that would be nice (I wasn't expecting that).
Then I got the supervisor who right away was in deep denial that there was any problem for Canadian customers. And since my balance had been cleared, what was the problem?
No pro-active problem-solver, he.
So I told him he had a great employee who was willing to listen to customers and try to help them.
But his conversation with me was so 'professional' (read, coldly implying I was a liar at every attempt to point out the problems which should be addressed ) that I told him he could pass it on to his boss that this unhappy Canadian customer was cutting up their card because of being mislead about their credit services and ripping off people when they knew there was a problem that could easily be corrected.
So, fellow Canadians. When they approach you at J.C. Penney, think twice about how much you want to pay for that 10% discount when you sign up for their card, because I paid dearly for my two pairs of slacks and a sweater on sale! And you will have to buy the stamp, go to the mailbox, and hope they enter your cheque and it clears before the next bill comes out, when we are used to going on-line and paying our bills when they come in.
Obviously good ethics are not part of J.C. Penney's corporate fiber as it is with Fashion Bug, Victoria's Secret, and the other American stores that have offered similar discounts to Canadians engaging in in cross-border shopping, and who seem to be able to enter their transactions promptly.

bigboxworker on 04/29/2008:
Um of course you need an American bank account to pay your American credit card bill electronically. I have several Canadian bank accounts and none of them allow me to add American Payees, this is a choice of Canadian banks, not JC Penny's fault. Also were you mailing Canadian cheques to pay off your balance? These will obviously take longer to clear then American cheques.

12 months same as cash "code" not honored
Posted by
At the end of January beginning of February, J. C. Penney was running a special promotion, 12 months same as cash on furniture purchases. I placed an order for a sofa, two chairs and two bean bag chairs, and used the code "JANFURN" in the online order under special instructions. About a week after I placed the order, I called J. C. Penney credit department to verify that I was approved for the 12 months same as cash, because if I wasn't approved, I was going to cancel the furniture order. I was told that I was approved, so I let the order proceed. The furniture was delivered, no problems... until I got my J. C. Penney credit card statement this month....They are charging me 23.99 % interested on the furniture purchase!! (I would never have used my J. C. Penney card to purchase furniture without the deferred interest, I have good credit and could have gotten a lower interest rate using a different credit card.) So I called the credit department number listed on the statement. I was told that they are GE, not J. C. Penney, so there is nothing they could do about it, I would have to call J. C. Penney. Spoke with someone at the J. C. Penney on-line order phone number, they verified the order was placed with the CODE, but said they cannot do anything about it, they cannot even look at my credit card account. Spoke with a customer service representative at another number for J. C. Penney, she put me on hold for half an hour, finally came back and said her supervisor will make sure that I get the 12 months same as cash on the sofa and chairs. I asked about the bean bags ($180 order) and she said no, it won't apply to them. I asked for her name and she got really huffy. I told her I want to know who I spoke within case I am still being charged interest next month when I get my bill! I have a feeling this isn't over yet...

JC Penney/GE Money Bank
Posted by
I had a credit card from JC Penney that was handled by GE Money Bank. I received a notice today stating they were cancelling my account based on a recent credit report they pulled.
First of all I do not, nor have a had, a balance with them for several months.
Second, I have been out of work for almost a year and a half.
JC Penny and GE Money Bank did not take any of that into consideration. They simply do not care about their customers.
I attempted to contact both JC Penney and GE Money Bank - neither of which would have a representative from their respective organization contact me. The interesting thing here is that, on my call with JC Penney, they tried to completely divorce themselves from the situation. How can they? They are the ones that contracted out to GE Money Bank to handle their credit card services!
In my current financial situation my other credit cards have been more than willing to work with me during this economic down turn.
Lets face it, JC Penney sells crap! Their merchandise is terrible and it doesn't last. The only reason I even opened up the account was because someone requested merchandise from them at Christmas time. Opening up the account allowed me to save an additional %10 on my entire purchase.
I would not be as upset about this if it wasn't for the fact that the closing of this account is going to negatively impact my credit report even further. Again, neither JC Penney or GE Money Bank care about that.
I would strongly encourage people NOT to shop at JC Penney.

Credit card transaction
Posted by
TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- Yesterday, at the Wooddland Hills store in Tulsa, OK, I bought items totaling $78.13. When I presented my charge card, the cashier asked me if I wanted to "round up" my total to $79.00. I, of course, told her no, but then asked her if she would round down to an even $78.00. She replied no, she couldn't do that. What in the world is going on? Why would a milllion dollar + store ask a customer to give them 87 cents? Is this normal, and has anyone else experienced this?

DebtorBasher on 11/04/2012:
I remember awhile back, stores took part in a 'Keep The Change' campaign...where customers donated the odd change from their purchases. If the purchase totaled $12.45, they would round up to $13.00 and the 55 cents was donated. I don't remember what the charity was, but if this is what they are doing then they should explain that...other that than, I have no clue why they would ask that or why a customer would do that.
Anonymous on 11/05/2012:
Goodwill always asks me if I want to round up my purchase and lets me know that the extra cents will be donated. But, they are the only store I know that does that. I've never heard of JCP doing this. Wonder if it was for charity.
trmn8r on 11/05/2012:
My two esteemed (and beautiful) co-members are on the right track. JCP has intermittently done a round up for charity program. The CSR needs better training, because she should have informed you.

currentjcpworker on 08/02/2013:
We get a new charity every month to donate to, and then we double all customer donations. We are trained to say "Your total is $9.85, would you like to round that up to $10 and donate the change to Boys and Girls Club?" (Boys and Girls Club being the chosen charity of July) Others we have done include breast cancer research, big brothers big sisters, USO, one that was text suicide hotline for teens, and so one. Every month is a new charity.

JC Penny and GE Money
Posted by
Madison J
I have shopped at JC Penny's for years, and have had and paid off two credit cards, and have had little to no difficulty with paying monthly. Recently, I signed up for, or thought, I signed up for automatic draft. Apparently, I did not, and was sent to GE money bank, who called and harassed, even on Christmas Eve, who I had also signed up for automatic draft. They would call several times a day. When I provided my confirmation numbers of my next six automatic payments that were scheduled, they denied that I had ever signed up for that service, and after much persistence, they finally admitted that I had, and that they did not draft. I demanded to be returned to JC Penny to make my payments. When I went to pay my payment, on the 21st, the due date, JC Penny moved my payment date to the 19th and charged me 40.00. Which I then called, and got the date moved and explained I would not pay the fee. The next month, I signed in to make my payment online, and there was a note that my account had been closed by the merchant. Imagine the fun I am going to have with my credit reports on this one.

JC Penny - Are all decisions at JCP made by a PC?
Posted by
I am looking for forums to speak out about retailers making insanely absurd credit decisions in the aftermath of the new credit laws - all in an effort to save face after years and years of extending credit to less than creditworthy individuals.
After being a loyal customer of JCP for almost 10 years, and finding myself in the best financial position of my adult life I got a ridiculous letter in the mail today stating that with the "use of their credit scoring system that predicts your ability to meet future debt obligations", they are lowering my credit score.
My husband and I have the greatest joint income we have ever had. I CANNOT BELIEVE JCP thinks now, of all times, they have a computer that can reliably predict my ability/inability to pay my debt obligations - better than my 10 years as a LOYAL JCP customer. NO MORE. As a family of 4, what I might have charged on my JCP card is a drop in the bucket compared to what we have spent in total at that establishment in the last 10 years.
Honestly, I cannot even tell you what my credit limit is at this minute and that really isn't the issue. It is the principle of the matter and for that and that alone we WILL NOT BE shopping in JCP. Macy's - here we come!

Use your greatest joint income for your purchases instead of relying on credit. That will solve the issue.

Extension of credit is not a requirement, and the credit limit is at the discretion of the lender. Obviously, Penneys ran a credit check onm you and determine with your income and outgoing payments, you cannot realistically handle a high credit limit and they have lowered your credit limit so they will not be running the risk of making another bad loan, which is what caused the near collapse of the banking industry.
Talk360 on 03/14/2010:
If you were not late than how is it they lowered your payment ? They had to have had a reason, you cannot use your greatest joint income forever on low credit #'s like they want you to. By lowering your credit limit its like telling you that they now see you unfit for this amount of credit line. So to reduce cost & restrict the risk of a financial burden on behave of both parties they lower the amount that's available so your income seems more fit "level" in order to pay. I think a reasonable period of time should be allowed in order to lower your credit balance below your credit limit if they want to lower the amount at later dates. So no misunderstandings are given to those who look at consumers credit reports.
lvi1 on 03/15/2010:
As a follow up regarding comments posted: In this scenario - JCP GEMB has not asked for or updated my income information as provided by me since I signed up for the account almost 10 years ago. I would not have taken the time it took to post in this location (and others) if I believed what they did was warranted - based upon a credit check, income inquiry, or otherwise. They made this decision based upon new laws/limitations, lobbing thousands and thousands of credit consumers together - not based upon me as a loyal consumer for 10 years, NEVER missing a C/C payment to JCP when there was a balance on the card. Quite the contrary - every year to 18 months they wound send a notice/new card with an increased credit line - of which I did not ever request.
PepperElf on 03/15/2010:
having a card for 10 years unfortunately doesn't mean your credit can never be lowered
with the recent trend of people - even long time loyal users - suddenly losing jobs, most credit cards have taken action to protect themselves against the possibility of someone using a lot of credit and then *bam* ... job drops off and bill payments stop.
even though you may be a loyal customer they cannot use that in their calculations of risks.
even paying on time may not stop the limit from dropping - I.e. if a customer only pays minimum it could indicate a risk as well, with the new economic climate

JC Penney Changed Due Date and LOST a GOOD Customer!
Posted by
CHATSWORTH, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a very good customer for 20 years or more. Long ago, I had arranged for a payment due date for the tenth of each month and NEVER had date problem with my account. I was most happy, however In December 2008 the due date was changed from the 10th to the 2nd or 3rd of the month without notice that I can prove. I got late charges despite calling several times to change the date back to the tenth. The interest went up and more late charges. I finally closed the account. I WILL NEVER, NEVER SHOP OR PURCHASE AT JC PENNEY AGAIN. I guess they don't need good customers who pay their bills over the past 20 years.

When you got your statement, didn't you notice the due date had been changed? If I get bills in my mail, that afternoon/evening, I go online to make payment entry(s). Of course, the two things I have to look at are amount and due date. Although I have a general idea when my bills are due, I never have the exact date in mind. Now--if you received a statement and the due date had already passed--then I believe you'd have a valid complaint. Is this what happened?

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS -- I am in no way prejudice against foreigners, BUT I am Prejudice about American Companies using non Americans in other countries to handle their business.
I attempted to contact JC Penneys regarding my account and was transferred to a foreign sounding, very unclear speaking employee. They were rude and I could not understand them. They were located in India, when I asked.
I refuse to shop at an American Store that contracts with a foreign company to handle American customers.
Even Walmart employs US Citizens !
I say, if you buy American, then you deal with Americans. Don't transfer me to a foreign, non American who can hardly speak nor understand English!
I, as an American, have a choice where I shop and as of today JC Penney will not get my families money. I hope JC Penney's leaves America and moves to India.

Ben There on 10/14/2008:
Um, you do realize that the most of Wal Mart products come from China and other countries instead of your hometown state or Arkansas?
As for you having a choices in places to shop, do you think that the rest of the world only has one store?
Anonymous on 10/14/2008:
Welcome to the new global economy, outsourcing American jobs, sending all our money to China so we can borrow it back to buy oil from countries that hate the site of us. You want to pay $10 for a shirt? It will be made in Asia and sold at Wallymart. If you want to pay $50 for the same shirt then Penny's can afford to pay an American worker to answer the phone for you.
How's that Jkt?
Anonymous on 10/14/2008:
All major companies outsource, but not all employees are located outside the US. I have worked for several call centers that outsourced, but had centers located in the US. If you call a company and get an agent in another country, you can ask to be transferred to someone in the US.
Cyane on 10/15/2008:
"Welcome to the JCPenney Online Credit Center operated by GE Money Bank ("GEMB"), the issuer of the JCPenney Card."
Maybe your complaint should be with GEMB because they outsourced their customer service. JCP had nothing to do with that.
jktshff1 on 10/16/2008:
that works super
Talk360 on 02/01/2010:
GEMB Did is a vary large bank, I have learned they are listed on almost every credit card I have. They do sell our info to other companys then again those 3rd parties gather alota personal info about you on their own (wrongly). No company should use GE Money Bank as a lender, or in any other way at least for the ppl who are causing alota problems working in that field.
Talk360 on 03/15/2010:
lunaan very interesting question you have / I wounder if you can ask a collection agent if they can transfer you to a US agent. Id like to know the answer , do you think that might offend them? But if they want my money I want to be happy & satisfied with whom I deal with right.
Anonymous on 03/15/2010:
Talk, if the outsourced agent refuses to transfer, then ask to speak to a supervisor. Or simply hang up and call back until you get someone in the US. BTW, I am lunaan, I just changed my name on here

Paying Credit Card On Time
Posted by
NEW JERSEY -- Just like I planned I would go on line and pay each bill. So one day I went to the JC Penny store and purchased $200 dollars on credit and with a long line of people behind me it was denied. I stood in shock thinking the cashier was talking to someone else. I ask her to call whoever and see why I was denied I thought the lady typed in someone else's credit card number but it was mine. I went home jump on the computer and viewed my account and come to find out every payment I ever made on line except for one never got summited to my bank account even though it was approved. I had to get that money out of my savings, now the credit card sits in a shoe box.
Instead OF IMPROVING MY CREDIT IT MADE IT WORSE.

heaven17 on 08/19/2008:
So these payments weren't coming out of your bank account and you just never noticed all that extra money in there? Never got a past due notice from Penney's about unpaid bills?
Anonymous on 08/20/2008:
Good answer, Heaven. She is saying every single payment except one was not processed. This means that there were at least three payments. One that was processed and at least two that were not. I do not buy that she did not notice that the credits were not posted on her statemens.
lamett on 10/30/2008:
I do not believe the original poster said the payments were not deducted from her bank account, she said her payments to JC Penney's were not posted as paid to her account. There is a big difference.
Not surprised. Since GE Money Bank handles the Penney's credit card accounts. My guess is she paid on time and GEMB withheld posting the account as paid.
I have seen hundreds of complaints for the same reason, with proof that emails were received from the GEMB system, money deducted from bank accounts, checks processed before due date - BUT GEMB personnel did not post them to their accounts as paid until after the due date. They do this so they can increase fees and interest.
That is a violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act, and Electronic Funds Transfer Act.
You can file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and Office of Thrift Supervision
GEMB violates Federal Lending laws.

NCLB Update
Teacher Preparation
From Mexico City...
Funding Opportunities
Anti-Harassment Rules
From the Interagency Staff...
Quote to Note
Upcoming Events
NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
NCLB Extra Credit (http://www.nclb.gov/extracredit/), which offers a regular look at the No Child Left Behind Act, is now archived back to April 2003. These succinct bits are an excellent resource to debunk myths and misunderstandings regarding NCLB and research success stories. For example, the July 23 Extra Credit explains what happens when a state identifies a school as "in need of improvement."
Interested in becoming a supplemental services provider? The Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement and Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives have produced a webcast (http://www.connectlive.com/events/supplemental/) to help non-profit organizations apply to become approved providers under the No Child Left Behind Act. The presentation details each step of the application process, like the essential assurance form, and offers some "winning reminders." Also, if you prefer to stay off-line, the Center provides a toolkit (http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/suppsvcs/toolkit.html) with much of the same information.
On August 1, the Department's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education released guidance on the September 1, 2003, Consolidated State Application submission. (As described in the package that was distributed in May 2002, state submissions have been divided into multiple submissions and information requests.) In this submission, states must provide baseline data and performance targets under four No Child Left Behind goals and related indicators. These include: all limited English proficient students will become proficient in English and reach high academic standards in reading/language arts and math (Goal 2); by 2005-06, all students will be taught by highly qualified teachers (Goal 3); all students will be educated in learning environments that are safe, drug-free, and conducive to learning (Goal 4); and all students will graduate from high school (Goal 5). Special attention is paid to the calculation of graduation rates. The Department has developed a workbook format to facilitate states' preparation and submission. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/
Teacher Preparation
A new report from the Education Commission of the States (ECS), "Eight Questions on Teacher Preparation: What Does the Research Say?," reviews 92 rigorous studies (from over 500 originally considered) to answer core questions about teacher preparation that are of particular importance to educators and policymakers. Among them:
- To what extent does subject knowledge contribute to teacher effectiveness?
Overall, the research provides moderate support for the common-sense belief that it is important for teachers to have strong subject-matter knowledge. The research is spotty, however, and the great majority of it concerns the teaching of math.
- To what extent does pedagogical coursework contribute to teacher effectiveness?
The research provides limited support for the conclusion that preparation in pedagogy can contribute significantly to effective teaching.... It is not clear from the research reviewed for this report, however, whether such knowledge and skills are best acquired through coursework, field experience, or on the job.
- Are there "alternative route" programs that graduate high percentages of effective new teachers with average or higher-than-average rates of teacher retention?
Overall, the research provides limited support for the conclusion that there are indeed alternative programs that produce teachers who are ultimately as effective as traditionally trained teachers. On the other hand, because of their limited pre-service training, alternative route participants may experience more difficulties than traditionally prepared graduates at the beginning of their teaching assignment.
- Are there teacher preparation strategies that are likely to increase the effectiveness of new teachers in hard-to-staff and low-performing schools?
The research could be said to provide limited support for the conclusion that deliberate efforts to prepare teachers for hard-to-staff, low-performing schools can be beneficial. It is far from clear, however, which particular strategies are effective. Field placement in an urban school, training in multicultural awareness, and effective recruitment and screening of teacher candidates are the only strategies with any real support in the research.
From Mexico City...
In town for the third meeting of the Inter-American Educational Ministerialall of the Western Hemisphere's 34 education ministersSecretary Paige joined Mexican Secretary of Education Reyes Tamez and representatives from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Toshiba to announce the donation of 17 computers and several digital cameras and projectors to Mexico City's public school system. "On my last trip [in November 2002], I had the pleasure of visiting the Benito Juarez School here in Mexico City," said Paige. "There was such an energy there, with teachers, students, and staff all working so hard, that I wanted to do something to support their excellent work." Earlier, the Secretary kicked-off a U.S. Embassy-sponsored book donation program by presenting Tamez with a collection of children's Spanish-language books about the United States. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/08/08132003.html.
Also: In an August 11 HispanicVista commentary, Secretary Paige references education as the "foundation for hemispheric prosperity." For more information, please go to http://www.hispanicvista.com/html3/081103gc.htm.
Funding Opportunities
The Department's Office of Postsecondary Education is soliciting applications under several grant competitions. The Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program awards fellowships to students who undertake graduate study in selected fields in the arts, humanities, and social sciences leading to a doctoral degree (or, in cases where a doctoral degree is not offered, a master's degree). Applicants must demonstrate (1) superior academic ability and achievement; (2) exceptional promise; and (3) financial need. The deadline for applications is October 3. The Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad Program supports overseas projects in research, training, and curriculum development in foreign languages and area studies for groups of teachers or students engaged in a common endeavor. (This competition will not support advanced overseas intensive language projects.) Eligible applicants include states, colleges and universities, education organizations, and consortia of these entities. The deadline for applications is October 14. The Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need Program awards fellowships in the areas of biology, chemistry, computer and information sciences, engineering, geological and related sciences, mathematics, and physics. Applicants must meet the Javits criteria listed above. The deadline for applications is November 7. http://www.ed.gov/GrantApps/ lists all the competitions that are currently underway and provides links to electronic application packages, forms, and other key information.
Anti-Harassment Rules
Staying on higher education, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Gerald Reynolds has released a "dear colleague" letter confirming that his office's regulations "do not require or prescribe speech, conduct, or harassment codes that impair the exercise of rights protected under the First Amendment." "Some colleges and universities have interpreted OCR's prohibition of 'harassment' as encompassing all offensive speech regarding sex, disability, race, or other classifications," Reynolds continues. "Harassment, however, to be prohibited by the statutes within OCR's jurisdiction, must include something beyond the mere expression of views, words, symbols, or thoughts that some person finds offensive." The letter does not set new policy. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/firstamend.htmll.
(Secretary Paige addressed the issue of harassment after the 9/11 tragedy. His letter is available at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/arabletter.html.)
From the Interagency Staff...
There are 19 million war veterans living in the U.S. today, but 1,500 are lost every day. To honor their service and collect their stories and experiences while they are still among us, the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress is asking individuals and organizations to interview veterans in their communities (according to guidelines) and send the results to the Library for permanent preservation. In addition to these oral histories, the Center is gathering documentary materials, such as diaries, letters, maps, movies, and photographs. For more information, please go to http://www.loc.gov/vets/.
Quote to Note
"Over the past 20 years, countries throughout the [Western] Hemisphere have made significant progress in education. Enrollment in basic education has increased markedly in most countries, and innovative initiatives are underway to improve teacher quality and increase access for children who have been historically underserved. Importantly, most countries...have developed tests to assess student progress, making it possible to address problems early in a child's development. In addition, several have worked to decentralize authority, giving more freedom to schools and local communities. Yet, despite this progress, all countries have serious education challenges to overcome."
Secretary of Education Rod Paige (8/11/03)
Upcoming Events
On October 9, communities around the country will celebrate Lights On Afterschool!, bringing attention to the need for afterschool programs that keep kids safe, help working families, and improve academic achievement. An Afterschool Alliance project, the rally is sponsored by JCPenney Afterschool and supported by the Department's 21st Century Community Learning Centers.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
