Dear Friends and Members of the Marywood Community,

As you begin this new semester, you become part of our landmark 95th year at Marywood University. At a first, quick glance, it may seem just another interesting calendar date. But such landmarks pinpoint a unique moment in time when past, present, and future all come together. It provides a perfect forum in which to appreciate our heritage …to celebrate what we have become today …to dream and plan ahead.

Whether you are already a member of our Marywood Family or whether you are joining our campus community for the first time, I am delighted to welcome you and invite you to join in this special year of appreciation, celebration, and moving forward toward important goals.

I hope you will seize the opportunity to make this coming academic year a landmark journey of your own. Use this convenient datebook-style calendar/student handbook to plan schedules, set goals, keep track of dates and deadlines, stay apprised on policies, record landmarks passed, and yes …dreams realized.

I am happy to be embarking on this landmark journey with you; delighted to share the satisfaction of reflection … the joy of celebration …the ever-challenging, ever-exciting adventure into the future.

Sister Anne Munley, IHM, Ph.D.President of the University

Dear Marywood Students:

It is a pleasure to share the greetings of the University faculty, administration and student body as we begin the 2009-2010 Academic Year.

This edition of The Calendar/Student Hand-book was designed with several goals in mind. One of its primary purposes is to communicate clearly the shared expectations of every member of this academic community. Over several years, students, faculty and staff have collaborated to create policies and regulations intended to assure that all behavior contributes

positively to the achievement of each member’s goals. All students - undergraduate and graduate, full and part-time - are encouraged strongly to read the policies and procedures sections of The Student Handbook closely. You will be expected to know and follow these guidelines.

As you consider the varied opportunities to learn and lead through your out-of-class experiences and begin to plan your schedule for the semester, be sure to take full advantage of the resources described within these pages. Students who are active in university life often have more stimulating and rewarding experiences than those who are less involved. In turn, active students usually are more successful and fulfilled during their Marywood years and in the communities they lead in the future. Simply stated, through deep engagement in campus life many skills, values and beliefs that will last a lifetime will be developed.

Highlights of the array of social, cultural and athletic activities on campus, in Scranton and across the Northeast Pennsylvania region are described in the pages that follow. Also, the complete Calendar/Student Handbook is accessible on-line via the “Student Services” link at www.marywood.edu. For the most current information about those activities, MU2DO at the student services page is another great resource.

With best wishes for a challenging year as you prepare to Lead On!

Welcome!

Sincerely,

Raymond P. Heath, Ph. D.Vice President for Student Life

seal of tHe UnIVeRsItYThe black diamond in the lower center of the circular seal represents the city of Scranton, which is located in the heart of the once-thriving anthracite coal district of Pennsylvania. Coal was king in Scranton at the time of Marywood’s founding, and the gold field surrounding the diamond symbolizes the wealth the coal industry produced. The diamond is charged with the open book of learning, and upon its pages the Greek letters, Alpha and Omega, are inscribed. These letters, taken from the coat of arms of Most Reverend Michael J. Hoban, Bishop of Scranton when Marywood was founded, represent God as the beginning and end of all things and the foundation of a true education. An image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, garlanded with roses, pierced by a sword, marked by her crown as Queen of Heaven and tinctured in the gold eternity, is displayed on a forest-green background to symbolize in canting form the name of the University. (Canting arms indicate the name of the bearer.) On either side of the heart are fleurs-de-lis, a symbol of the Blessed Virgin, taken from the seal of the Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who founded Marywood College (now University) in 1915. The seal is bordered with the words “Marywood University” at the top and the University’s motto, “Sanctitas, Scientia, Sanitas” (“Holiness, Knowledge, Health”) at the bottom.

alMa MateROur hearts are thine, sweet Marywood.

We love thy sacred walls!Here inspiration walks with us

Through silent, sunlit halls.We love thy flower-girded walks,Thy fields and groves of green,

The vales and dells and distant hillsThat from thy heights are seen.

REFRAIN:Oh Marywood, sweet source of hope,

In Thee our hearts abide;From wisdom’s fountain here shall flow

A pure refreshing tideTo satisfy the thirsty world

And spread God’s glory wide.All hail to thee, fair Marywood!

Sweet mem’ries round thee cling.Of all the triumphs in the past

Today we fondly sing.But oh!, more proudly do we point

To glory and to fame,That through unending ages shall

Immortalize thy name.

The University Housing and Dining Agreement is binding for the full academic year, consisting of both fall and spring semesters or remaining portion thereof and cannot be transferred or reassigned.The Housing and Residence Life staff focuses on developing positive environments which value the individual and his or her role within the residential community. To achieve this, staff members sponsor a variety of educational programs and social activities which promote student development and create a sense of home within Marywood University. Each member of the community, whether a staff member or not, plays an important role within the building. As such, each community member is expected to meet University and departmental policies, as well as to address the behaviors of their peers appropriately. Further, each resident is encouraged to report unusual or disruptive behavior.The room selection process for returning residents occurs in the spring semester. Lifestyle options range from traditional corridor-style residence halls with double rooms to suites with private baths, townhouse-style apartments, and small homes.

Various learning opportunities are offered, including programs, activities, and clubs/organizations, to foster leadership development and acquisition of leadership skills. The Center for Student Activities and Leadership Development supports the University’s academic mission and complements the mission set forth by the Division of Student Life. To fulfill our commitment to student learning, the office promotes engagement and participation in the social, cultural, and intellectual life of the University, while instilling in students the capacity for both independent and collaborative action. As the principal advisor for commuter students and student organizations, the office fosters qualities of character, civility, and scholarship. This is achieved through student involvement and leadership development opportunities that form an integral component of each student’s educational experience.Joint Statement of Rights and Freedoms Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the develop-ment of students, and the general well being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the academic community, students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth. Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility. The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to learn is shared by all members of the academic community. Each college and university has a duty to develop policies and procedures, which provide and safeguard this freedom. Such policies and procedures should be developed at each institution within the framework of general standards and with the broadest possible participation of the members of the academic community.

Students have a responsibility to know and adhere to the University’s Academic Honesty policy. Violations of this academic honesty statement or the intent of this statement carry consequences. University procedures for investigation of alleged violations of this policy ensure that students are protected from arbitrary or capricious disciplinary action. Sanctions for violations of academic honesty ordinarily are determined by the course instructor. If necessary, the chairperson and/or academic dean may become involved. Sanctions determined by the instructor may include a grade of F for the coursework in which the infraction occurred. Academic probation, dismissal from the program and/or dismissal from the University are sanctions that may be determined by the academic dean of the college in which the student is enrolled after an investigation of the alleged violation. An academic dean may choose at any time to refer charges of academic dishonesty to the Dean of Students for adjudication in the University disciplinary/judicial system. Likewise, a member of the University community may submit a disciplinary report against a student, group of students, or student organization for alleged violations of the Academic Honesty policy to the Dean of Students, who will refer it to the appropriate academic dean for possible adjudication in the University’s disciplinary/judicial system.DefinitionCheating is defined as but not limited to the following:1. having unauthorized material and/or electronic devices during an examination without the

permission of the instructor;2. copying from another student or permitting copying by another student in a testing situation;3. completing an assignment for another student, or submitting an assignment done by another

These are explicit civil and legal applications of the formulation of beliefs already cherished in Marywood’s religious commitment, objectives, and practices.DefinitionsSexual HarassmentMarywood University adopts the following definition of sexual harassment based on the statement endorsed by the American Association of University Professors, revised June 1995, and considers it applicable to the entire Marywood community:Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:1. such advances or requests are made under circumstances implying that one’s response

might affect academic or personnel decisions that are subject to the influence of the person making the proposal; or

2. such speech or conduct is directed against another and is either abusive or severely humiliat-ing and/or persists despite objection of the person targeted by the speech or conduct; or

3. such speech or conduct is reasonably regarded as offensive and substantially impairs the academic or work opportunity of students, colleagues, or co-workers. If it takes place in the teaching context, it must also be severe, pervasive, and not germane to the subject matter. The academic setting is distinct from the workplace in that wide latitude is required for professional judgment in determining the appropriate content and presentation of academic material.

Sexual AssaultSexual assault is defined as threats of, or deliberate physical contact of a sexual nature that is against another person’s will or without consent. Examples of such behavior include, but are not limited to the following:1. deliberate physical contact of a lewd type, including brushing, touching, grabbing, pinching,

patting, hugging and kissing;2. deliberate or reckless threats, actual or implied, of physical contact of a sexual nature that

results in reasonable fear of sexual assault or physical harm;3. coerced sexual activities, including rape. Rape, the most severe type of sexual assault,

is legally defined in Pennsylvania as sexual intercourse that is coerced through force or threats of force, or with someone who is unconscious or with someone who is so mentally deranged or deficient as to be incapable of consent.

DeaDlY WeaPons anD fIReWoRKsDeadly weapons and fireworks may not be brought onto property owned or controlled by Marywood University. This prohibition is a proactive step toward reducing the risk of bodily injury or death due to intentional, accidental, inexpert or improper use. It applies equally to those carried by persons with a government-issued permit.This policy regarding weapons does not apply to Marywood University Chief of Safety and Security; other duly-appointed law enforcement officers; members of the U.S. armed forces when on duty.There may be activities such as physical fitness, theatrical productions, displays, or educational workshops that may appear to violate the letter but not the intent of this policy. In such cases, written approval from the Chief of Safety and Security is required before the activity takes place. Those responsible for the activity must remove the weapon and unused fireworks from University property at the end of the term of the permission.A Marywood University student, faculty, or staff member in violation of this policy will be subject to University disciplinary policies and procedures up to and including termination. DefinitionsFor purposes of this policy, reference Commonwealth of Pennsylvania law. Deadly weapons are any firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or any device designed as

a weapon and capable of producing death or serious bodily injury, or any other device or instrumentality that, in the manner in which it is used or intended to be used, is calculated or likely to produce death or serious bodily injury.

Fireworks are any combustible or explosive composition or any article prepared for the purpose of producing a visible or an audible effect by combustion, explosion, deflagration, or detonation.

Bodily injury is impairment of physical condition or substantial pain. Serious bodily injury is injury that creates a substantial risk of death or which causes

serious, permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.

ProceduresA person who is found to violate this policy may be required by the Chief of Safety and Security to remove him/herself and the weapon immediately from University property. Whether the person is asked to leave the property or not, the Chief will decide if circumstances surrounding the incident require notification to public law enforcement authorities.A Critical Incident Response Manual for safety and security officers is maintained by the Chief of Safety and Security.Approved by the President of the University 2001, 2006

DIscIPlInaRY PolIcIes anD PRoceDUResStudent/Institutional RelationshipEnrollment at Marywood University is a voluntary decision, which includes a student’s acceptance of the responsibility to meet academic requirements and to behave consistently with the University’s purposes, core values and objectives at all times. Students are expected to know and adhere to University regulations, and the University accepts a corresponding responsibility to guarantee appropriate process and protection from arbitrary or capricious disciplinary action.The disciplinary system is intended to assure justice throughout the community and to protect the educational mission of the University and the educational experience of students. “The Joint Statement of the Rights and Freedoms of Students” has been the reference document for the establishment of the discipline system, and the Dean of Students administers the process. The entire University community, collectively and as individuals, has a vital role in maintaining an environment which protects and promotes learning and academic and personal freedoms, assures order and addresses behavior which infringes on others’ rights, the common good, and the University’s rights as a corporate entity.All members of the Marywood community are responsible to respond to policy violations. Correspondence with students is through campus mail and University e-mail accounts. Students are responsible to regularly check both. Academic policy violations may be adjudicated by an academic dean or designee.Philosophy of DisciplineA college education is primarily academic and intellectual in nature. Equally important is the development of values and attitudes, which enhance mature, responsible behavior in all areas of life. Student conduct in and out of class is not separate from its effect on the total community; rather, it is integral to the educational process. In this spirit, a set of regulations for student conduct and a discipline system through which conduct violations are adjudicated has been developed. The Marywood discipline process adheres to preponderance of evidence as the standard of proof for preliminary and formal hearings.Rules and RegulationsDisciplinary action usually is limited to conduct that negatively affects the pursuit of educational objectives and support of the Marywood core values. No specific policy statement can apply to every situation. The following behavior is subject to disciplinary action:1. Dishonesty: All forms of dishonesty including cheating, plagiarism, knowingly furnishing

false information to the University, forgery and alteration or fraudulent use of University documents or forms of identification. Academic policy violations may be adjudicated by an academic dean or designee. (Also, see Academic Honesty)

2. Disrupting University Activities: Intentional disruptions or obstruction of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary proceedings, daily operations, or other University activities.

3. Abuse: Physical or verbal abuse or harassment/stalking of any person on University premises, at University sponsored functions, or between members of the University community off campus. This includes incidents of sexual assault, sexual harassment and hazing. (Also, see Civil Rights Policy)

4. Endangering Conduct: Any action that is a danger to the health, safety or welfare of a student or others including: violence, assault and/or threats to harm; suicidal behavior or expressions of intent; disordered eating and similar behaviors that inhibit/prevent students from caring for themselves; cutting; driving and other directly-related behavior under the influence of alcohol or other drugs; other addictive behaviors; isolation of self and failure to function in daily activities; and, harmful or dangerous behavors not identified above. The goal of the endangering conduct policy is to seek help for students and ensure a safe and successful environment for the campus community.

159

5. Weapons: Possession and/or use of any weapon which could inflict a wound or cause injury. (Also, see Deadly Weapons and Fireworks Policy)

6. Theft/Damage: Theft from or damage to University property/premises or to property of a member of the University community on campus.

7. Failure to Comply: Failure to comply with the direction of University officials in the performance of their duties. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of any imposed sanction.

8. Alcohol: Regardless of age, the possession, use or distribution of alcoholic beverages, being in the presence of the possession (constructive possession), use or distribution of alcoholic beverages, possessing a false ID, providing alcohol to minors, possession of bulk alcohol, using empty containers as decoration, or being intoxicated on campus. (Also, see Alcohol & Controlled Substances Policy, Endangering Conduct Policy and Medical Amenesty Policy)

9. Drugs: Possession, use, or distribution of illegal or illicit drugs not medically supervised, including being in the presence of the possession, use or distribution of illegal substances or of paraphernalia to assist in the consumption of illegal substances. (Also, see Alcohol & Controlled Substances Policy)

10. Indecent Conduct: Lewd, indecent, immoral, or obscene conduct, including but not limited to, violations of any law, regulation, or ordinance.

11. Gambling: Failure to abide by federal and state laws prohibiting illegal gambling, includ-ing, but not limited to: betting on, wagering on, or selling pools on any athletic event; possessing any card, book, or other device for registering bets; permitting the use of one’s premises, telephone, or other electronic device for illegal gambling; knowingly receiving/delivering any items related to illegal gambling; offering, soliciting, or accepting a bribe to influence the outcome of an athletic event; and, involvement in bookmaking or wagering pools for sporting events.

12. Failure to Act: When in the presence of a violation, individuals should intervene or confront the violation to stop the behavior; leave the area where the violation is occurring; and/or, contact appropriate University staff. Members of the community who do not disassociate themselves may be considered to be supporting the violation.

13. Failure to Respect Each Person: Disputes and disagreements must be handled with civility by all parties.

14. University Regulations: Violation of any published University regulations, including those relating to computer use, to entry and use of University housing and other facilities, the rules in this code of conduct, and any other regulation (i.e. library, parking, alcohol, computing, residence life) which may be enacted. (Also, see Clean Air, Safety Procedures, Violent Acts and Threats, and Student Health Records policies).

15. Laws: Violations of any federal, state, or local criminal law. (The University will cooperate appropriately with civil authorities in the enforcement of the law. If civil authorities are involved, the University also may present disciplinary charges if its interests as an academic community are directly involved). If a student faces charges in a civil court and in the University discipline system because of the same violation, the University may postpone its discipline hearing until civil proceedings are completed. The Dean of Students will make that decision. (Also, see Hazing Policy).

The great majority of students do not intentionally violate policies or contribute to events in which harm, threat to persons, or destruction of property occurs. However, in the event these factors are imminent, University personnel must protect students from harm and safeguard University property. The University reserves the right to enact additional procedures to respond to foreseeable circumstances on University property. Such situations include:1. Events in which large numbers of people are contributing to an anticipated lack of civility,

harm to students, or destruction of personal and/or University property.

160

2. Events during which threats to persons occurred and/or it seems probable they may occur without staff intervention.

NOTE: The University reserves the right to alert civil authorities to problems on or off-campus. Concerns likely to be reported are those involving physical endangerment, illegal substances, or those resulting in complaints from the local community.Medical Amnesty:This policy assures the community that when a student’s health and safety are in danger due to intoxication, alcohol poisoning or other drug-related emergencies, students who seek help for themselves or others will not be subject to disciplinary action for a violation of the University Alcohol and/or Other Drug Regulations. In such cases, student(s) will be required to meet with the Dean of Students shortly thereafter to address the issues that caused the risk to the student’s well-being. To assist students learn from the experience, the student(s) may be required to complete an alcohol/other drug assessment and/or to participate in counseling. A repeated pattern of similar incidents or failure to cooperate with the Dean of Students will be responded to on an individual basis and could result in disciplinary action. If additional or egregious policy violations occur during the same incident, the Dean of Students reserves the right to adjudicate the non-alcohol related violations.Off-Campus BehaviorEnrollment at Marywood University is a voluntary decision, which includes a student’s acceptance of the responsibility to meet academic requirements and to behave consistently with the University’s purposes and objectives at all times, on and off campus. In the case where criminal charges are involved in an incident, the University continues to reserve the right to pursue Marywood University’s disciplinary charges.Students as Neighbors: Most students who live temporarily in the local community make positive contributions, but all must understand the behavior expected of them as residents of these communities. Students should demonstrate respect and concern for all members of both communities and behave as responsible citizens. Furthermore, the University reserves the right to refer any student involved in University policy violations and/or disruptive or offensive behavior off campus to the disciplinary system for investigation and action. Such behavior includes, but is not limited to: excessive and/or unreasonable noise; rude and abusive language; disruptive activities; illegal use, sale, and/or distribution of alcohol or other drugs; and, related violations of local community standards. Students should understand that disciplinary investigation and charges will be initiated when the University’s interest, reputation, and/or capacity to function as an academic community is involved.Disciplinary ProceduresDisciplinary cases will be handled in accordance with the University discipline policy of appropriate process. Any member of the University community may file a disciplinary report against any student, student group, or student organization for alleged violations of University rules, regulations, or policies. Disciplinary reports should be forwarded to the Director of Housing and Residence Life or the Dean of Students.1. The person(s) making the charges will provide the following in writing:

a. Date of the incidentb. Name and address of the student(s) involvedc. A statement of the circumstancesd. Names/addresses of witnesses

2. The individual(s) making the charges must identify themselves in the report. Individuals wishing to remain anonymous can request an incident be investigated, however, filing charges requires some form of evidence of which the accused must be informed.

161

The Dean of Students will appoint a Residence Director or other professional staff member to conduct a preliminary investigation of the charges. The Preliminary Hearing Officer will review the charges and consult with all parties to determine if adjudication is warranted.1. The accused student(s) will be notified by e-mail to report for a preliminary hearing. At

the preliminary hearing the charges and the disciplinary procedures will be explained and discussed. A copy of the charges (adjudication form) will be shown to the accused at a preliminary hearing; the student’s signature will be requested to acknowledge he/she was informed of the charges.

2. If a student fails to meet with the Preliminary Hearing Officer, the preliminary hearing will take place in their absence. The student may be subject to disciplinary action up to Suspension without further consultation.

3. At any stage of the investigation or adjudication of disciplinary charges, an accused student may refuse to answer any question(s) without the decision being held against him/her.

4. Should the Preliminary Hearing Officer determine a disciplinary hearing is not justified, he/she will find the student not responsible.

5. The prelimary hearing attendees include the accused and the Preliminary Hearing Officer only. In the case of violating endangering self, a Counseling Center staff member may also be present.

6. The Preliminary Hearing Officer may take disciplinary action up to and including Disciplin-ary Probation. When circumstances warrant Suspension or Dismissal, these actions are recommended to the Dean of Students. NOTE: In accordance with federal law, “In cases of violence or sexual assault the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceedings brought alleging a sexual assault.”

7. When the student requests further adjudication or the Preliminary Hearing Officer deter-mines that further disciplinary consideration is warranted, the following steps are initiated:a. If the student requests further adjudication, he/she must request a formal hearing in a

letter to the Dean of Students within five (5) days after the preliminary sanction has been communicated. The letter should indicate the preferred means of further adjudication as explained in item b. of this section and the reason for requesting a Formal Hearing.

b. The student chooses adjudication by: (1) the Judicial Board; or,(2) an Administrative Hearing Officer.

c. A copy of the written charges are forwarded to the Judicial Board or Administrative Hearing Officer.

d. The accused student has no less than five (5) days from the conclusion of the Preliminary Hearing to prepare for the hearing.

e. The Dean of Students notifies the Judicial Board or the Administrative Hearing Officer and the accused of the date, time, and location of the hearing.

8. Should the Judicial Board be inoperative, the Dean of Students or designee reserves the right to adjudicate the case.

Administrative Hearing Officers: The Dean of Students or his/her designee will be the Administrative Hearing Officer unless he/she served as the Preliminary Hearing Officer or circumstances clearly suggest it would be in the student’s best interest for another person to act as the Administrative Hearing Officer. With the student’s approval, the Preliminary Hear-ing Officer may be appointed as the Administrative Hearing Officer. Administrative Hearing Officers are empowered to take disciplinary action up to and including Disciplinary Probation. Administrative Hearing Officers recommend Suspension or Dismissal to the Dean of Students.Judicial Board: The Student Government Association makes student appointments to the Board after consultation with the current board members. The Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate makes faculty appointments. The Judicial Board is composed of 15 members: six faculty members, six full-time undergraduate students, and three full-time graduate students. A panel

162

of two faculty members and three students is drawn. Two faculty members and two students constitute a quorum. A student will be selected as chair for each hearing and one member will serve as the recorder. The Board decides responsibility for alleged violations, interprets rules and regulations as they relate to individual incidents and community values, and determines sanctions when appropriate.Disciplinary Hearing Procedures1. The hearing will be private, unless the student requests an open hearing. At an open hear-

ing, only members of the University community (defined as staff, faculty, administration, students) may observe the hearing, with the exception of the Board’s deliberation. The hearing is not to be interrupted by observers and the chair may ask observers to leave if determined necessary.

2. A tape recording or a written record will be made. 3. The charges and evidence will be presented by the Dean of Students or his/her representative

on behalf of the University or by the individual making the charges.4. The accused and the individual filing charges are entitled to be accompanied by a Marywood

faculty member, administrator, or student whose role will be advisory in nature. No one outside of the University community may attend a disciplinary hearing.

5. A formal hearing includes opening and closing statements from both parties. Normally, witnesses will be present and remain throughout the hearing.

6. Any party may present witnesses subject to the Chair’s or Hearing Officer’s determination of the witnesses’ relevance to the case. The accused, members of the Board or the Hearing Officer may ask questions of anyone involved in the proceedings. The parties involved are responsible for contacting appropriate eye witnesses and informing them of the date, time, and location of the hearing. Names of witnesses and/or the advisor must be submitted to the Dean of Students at least 24 hours in advance of the hearing. Witnesses may be present and remain throughout the hearing. Exceptions based on the judgment of the Chair or the Hearing Officer may be made. Requests for exceptions to this procedure must be made in advance to the Dean of Students or his/her designee.

7. If, for the lack of sufficient reason as judged by the Chair or the Hearing Officer, an accused student fails to appear at the hearing, the presiding officer may conduct the hearing without the presence of the accused. If the absence is unexcused, the accused forfeits any rights to appeal. No recommendation or imposition of sanction will be based solely upon the failure of the accused to appear at the hearing.

8. The Chair or Hearing Officer will make known the decision to the Dean of Students and submit the record of the hearing and a written statement of the reasons for the decision. The Dean of Students will notify the accused student only in writing/e-mail of the decision.

NOTE: In accordance with federal law, “In cases of violence or sexual assault the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceedings brought alleging a sexual assault.” Procedures for Appeal 1. The accused student or individual filing a disciplinary report may appeal the decision of

the Judicial Board or Administrative Hearing Officer by stating so in a letter to the Vice President for Student Life within five (5) days after the decision has been communicated orally or in writing/e-mail to the student. The student must demonstrate in the letter one or more of the following:a. that s/he did not receive a hearing consistent with the principles of appropriate process;b. that the sanction was arbitrary or capricious;c. that certain relevant evidence was not reviewed; or,d. that new evidence is available.

2. For an appeal to be heard, the Vice President must agree that the student has demonstrated one or more of the reasons listed in #1.

163

3. Normally, an appeal will be limited to a review of the report of the Judicial Board or the Administrative Hearing Officer. Such a review, when granted, is the final appeal step in the University disciplinary process.

4. When grounds for an appeal have been established, one of the following procedures will be followed:a. The Vice President for Student Life may accept the report as presented or as subject to

a specific reduction in the sanction imposed; may return the case to the Judicial Board or Hearing Officer for further proceedings; or, may dismiss one or more of the charges entirely.

An Appeal Board may be established. The Appeal Board will include an administrator appointed by the Vice President for Student Life and two representatives from the Judicial Board designated by the Vice President for Student Life. The Vice President will sit as Chair (ex-officio) of the Appeal Board. Board decisions in all cases are advisory to the Vice President. The Appeal Board will determine the procedure to follow after consideration of the specific case. The Appeal Board will adhere to the principles of appropriate process as stated in the University’s disciplinary procedures.SanctionsDisciplinary action is based on the seriousness of the offense, individual circumstances, and the best interest of the University community. Sanctions will be stated in writing and be maintained as a record in the Office of the Dean of Students. A combination of sanctions may be invoked when appropriate. Students who repeatedly violate policy will be assigned progressively more serious sanctions. The sanction or combination of sanctions, which may be imposed upon individuals or organizations, include the following: Conduct Warning A Conduct Warning is a written notice that the student’s conduct requires disciplinary proceed-ings. The nature and circumstances of the conduct does not deserve implementing disciplinary action, but the warning is recorded in the Office of the Dean of Students for future reference for the duration of the student’s enrollment. Restitution, a fine, a mandatory alcohol referral, or a redirective/educational project are conditions that may be imposed with a conduct warning. Restitution Restitution is the reimbursement for damage, destruction or misappropriation of property on University premises. When imposed, restitution to the University or a member of the University community will be made in addition to a previously defined sanction. FinesFines are penalty fees payable to the University depending on the degree of infraction. The amount is determined by the Preliminary Hearing Officer, Judicial Board, or Administrative Hearing Officer. When fines are imposed, they will be made in addition to the sanction and/or restitution. Redirective/Educational Projects These projects or programs promote the education of the student through experiences that enhance personal growth, improve understanding of the community, and/or contribute to the larger community outside of the University. Restricted Access Restricted Access, commonly known as a No Trespassing Notice, is official notification that an individual is not welcome to visit campus facilities. This may be administered for a specific building or general areas of the campus with or without a termination date. The University may request intervention of civil authorities if an individual violates this restriction. Removal from University HousingA student may be dismissed and banned from living in University Housing. Students with board contracts receive a pro-rated refund; there is no reimbursement for housing contracts.

164

Disciplinary Hold A Disciplinary Hold is a restriction placed on a student’s academic records for failure to complete a sanction, to pay a fine/restitution, or to attend a preliminary or formal hearing. A hold will prevent the student from registering for classes and receiving grades, and/or other services normally provided by the Registrar’s Office. ProbationProbation is a sanction that includes a period during which the student must demonstrate the ability to comply with University rules, regulations, and/or other conditions imposed. Students who are recipients of University scholarships and are placed on Disciplinary Probation may be subject to gradation or removal of that scholarship during the term of probation. That decision will be made by the coordinator of the specific scholarship program. Since the majority of undergraduates are legal dependents of their parents/guardians the University reserves the right to contact parents and/or guardians when sanction of Probation has been imposed. Any new violation of University policy, however, minor may result in Suspension or Dismissal. Probation may be administered in two forms.1. Specific Probation: with or without conditions is imposed for a specific period of time.2. General Probation: imposed for the student’s tenure at the University. Conditions, if

included, may or may not extend through the student’s period of enrollment. Conditions of probation will be consistent with the offense committed and the disciplinary history of the student. Conditions may include, but are limited to, the following or any combination thereof:a. Prohibition from representing the University in an official capacity: this may include the

student’s participation in intercollegiate activities, as an officer in a campus organization, etc.

b. Suspension of Housing Privileges: This may also include loss of visitation privileges in a certain residence hall or in all University Housing. The specific period will not be less than the remainder of the semester in progress. Students with board contracts receive a pro-rated refund; there is no reimbursement for housing contracts.

c. Restitution: As defined above.d. Fines: As defined above.e. Redirective/Educational Programs: As definded above.f. Restricted Access: as defined above.

Interim Suspension Interim Suspension is the temporary suspension of a student’s enrollment, housing, or other University privileges, pending full consideration of a disciplinary case. The Dean of Students or his/her designee must determine there is a reasonable cause to believe a student has violated any of the University’s rules and regulations, and danger or disruption will be present if the student is permitted to remain on campus or in University housing to impose an Interim Suspension. SuspensionSuspension is the termination of student status for a specified period of time. Conditions of reinstatement are included in the order of suspension. A suspended student is charged full fees for the semester in which the suspension occurs and assigned the grades that would be appropriate if s/he was withdrawing voluntarily. Students with board contracts receive a prorated refund; there is no reimbursement for housing contracts. A statement of the student’s status is sent to the Vice President for Enrollment Management and the Registrar and the record of the sanction is maintained for five years in the Office of the Dean of Students. Since the majority of undergraduates are legal dependents of their parents/guardians, the University reserves the right to contact parents and/or guardians when sanctions of Suspension from the University Housing or Suspension/Dismissal from the University are imposed. Independent students should notify the Dean of Students of their independent status and verify it, if requested.

165

DismissalDismissal is the permanent termination of student status and separation from the University. A dismissed student is charged full fees for the semester in which the dismissal occurs and assigned the grades that would be appropriate if s/he was withdrawing voluntarily. Students with board contracts receive a pro-rated refund; there is no reimbursement for housing contracts. A statement of the student’s status is sent to the Vice President for Enrollment Management and the Registrar and recorded permanently in the Office of the Dean of Students. Since the majority of undergraduates are legal dependents of their parents/guardians, the University reserves the right to contact parents and/or guardians when sanctions of Suspension from University Housing or Suspension/Dismissal from the Univeristy are imposed. Independent students should notify the Dean of Students of their independent status and verify it, if requested.

DIscIPlInaRY RecoRDsDisciplinary records are educational records and, as such, are confidential and are not released to anyone outside of the University without written approval of the student involved. No information regarding disciplinary action is included on University academic transcripts. Intra-University use of such information is at the discretion of the Dean of Students who may inform other administrators of the student’s status when necessary to the discharge of their duties. The University reserves the right, as defined in the Higher Education Reauthorization Amend-ments of 1998, to disclose results of a disciplinary hearing when a student is found to be in violation of University regulations related to violence or a non-forcible sex offense and to notify parents/guardians of students under 21 years of age determined to have violated campus regulations regarding the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance.The Dean of Students is responsible for the confidentiality of disciplinary records. Disciplinary records are maintained for three years after the completion of the student’s enrollment, with the exception of cases in which a sanction of Suspension or Dismissal was imposed. Records of students suspended for a specific period of time are maintained for five years after graduation or withdrawal; records of students dismissed from the University are maintained permanently.

DRUG-fRee WoRKPlaceMarywood University prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, or use of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on its property, in its vehicles, or as part of any of its activities. The purpose of this policy is two-fold: to communicate annually the concern Marywood University has for the health and safety

of its students and employees; and to comply with the Drug-free Workplace Act of 1988, the Drug-free Schools and Communi-

ties Act Amendments of 1989, and all other pertinent federal, state, and local regulations regarding substance abuse on campus.

ProceduresA written program, which contains additional information, is distributed to all employees and students annually. Copies are available in the Human Resources Department.Approved 1989, 2005

faMIlY eDUcatIonal RIGHts anD PRIVacYThe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law which states that a written institutional policy must be established, and that a statement of adopted procedures covering the privacy rights of students be made available. The law provides that the institution will maintain the confidentiality of student education records.Marywood University accords all the rights under the law to students who are declared independent. No one outside the institution shall have access to nor will the University disclose any information from a student’s education records without the written consent of the student except to personnel within the institution, to officials of other institutions in which the students seek to enroll, to persons or organizations providing the student financial aid, to accrediting agencies carrying out their accreditation function, to persons in compliance with a judicial order, and to persons in an emergency in order to protect the health or safety of students or other persons. All these exceptions are permitted under the Act.

166

Within the Marywood University community, only those members, individually or collectively, acting in the student’s educational interest are allowed access to student education records. These members include personnel in the administrative offices that maintain student records, and academic/student affairs personnel within the limitations of their need to know. Should a question occur about accessibility, the vice president of the area concerned should be consulted.At its discretion, the University may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of the Act to include: student name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, class, previous institution(s) attended, major field of study, awards, honors degree(s) conferred (including dates). Students may withhold directory information by notifying the Registrar on the appropriate form within two weeks after the first day of class for the fall term. Request for non-disclosure will be honored by the University for only one academic year; therefore, autho-rization to withhold directory information must be filed annually in the Office of the Registrar.The law provides students with the right to inspect and review information contained in their education records, to challenge the contents of their education records, to have a hearing if the outcome of the challenge is unsatisfactory, and to submit explanatory statements for inclusion in their files if they feel the decision of the hearing panel is unacceptable. The Registrar at Marywood University has been designated to coordinate the inspection and review procedures for student education records, which include admissions, personal, academic, and financial files, and academic, cooperative education, and placement records.A student wishing to review his or her education records must make a written request to the officer responsible for the maintenance of the record concerned listing the item or items of interest. Records covered by the Act will be made available within forty-five days of the request. Students may have copies made of their records with certain exceptions. Marywood University reserves the right to refuse a student a copy of his or her record if the student has a financial indebtedness to the University, or if the original or source document exists elsewhere. Copies provided to the student are made at the student’s expense at prevailing rates.Education records do not include records of instructional, administrative, and educational personnel that are the sole possession of the maker and are not accessible or revealed to any individual, except a substitute who performs on a temporary basis the duties of the individual who made the record; records of the law enforcement unit; student health records; employment records; or alumni records. Health records, however, may be reviewed by physicians of the student’s choosing.Students may not inspect and review the following as outlined by the Act: financial informa-tion submitted by their parents; confidential letters and recommendations associated with admissions, employment or job placement, or honors to which they have waived their rights of inspection and review; or education records containing information about more than one student, in which case the institution will permit access only to that part of the record that pertains to the inquiring student. The institution is not required to permit students to inspect and review confidential letters and recommendations placed in their files prior to January 1, 1975, provided those letters were collected under established policies of confidentiality and were used only for the purposes for which they were collected.A student who believes that an education record contains information that is inaccurate or misleading, or is otherwise in violation of his or her privacy or other rights may discuss the problem informally with the officer responsible for the maintenance of that record. If the decision is in agreement with the student’s request, the appropriate record(s) will be amended. If not, the student will be notified within a reasonable period of time that the record(s) will not be amended; and will be informed by the vice president of the area concerned of his or her right to a formal hearing. A student’s request for a formal hearing must be made in writing to the appropriate vice president who, within a reasonable period of time after receiving such request, will inform the student of the date, place, and time of the hearing. Students may present evidence relevant to the issues raised and may be assisted or represented at the hearings by one or more persons of their choice, including attorneys, at the student’s expense. The hearing panel that will adjudicate such challenges will be the vice president of the area concerned and four individuals appointed by the President of the University. These persons will be selected according to the nature of the particular case.

167

Decision of the hearing panel will be final, will be based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing, and will consist of written statements summarizing the evidence and stating the reasons for the decision, and will be delivered to all parties concerned. The education records will be corrected or amended in accordance with the decision of the hearing panel, if the deci-sion is in favor of the student. If the decision is unsatisfactory to the student, the student may place with his or her education record statements commenting on the information in records, or statements setting forth any reasons for disagreeing with the decision of the hearing panel. The statements will be placed in the education records, maintained as part of the student’s record, and released whenever the record in question is disclosed.Students who believe that the adjudication of their challenges were unfair, or not in keeping with the provision of the Act may request, in writing, assistance from the President of the University. Further, students who believe that their rights have been abridged, may file complaints with The Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605, concerning the alleged failures of Marywood University to comply with the Act.Revisions and clarifications will be published as experience with the law and Marywood University’s policy warrants.Approved by the President of the University 1980, 1998

GRaDe aPPealsIt is presumed that a faculty member assigns grades fairly and in accord with the grade plan included in the course outline distributed to students at the beginning of the course. However, when a student has evidence or believes that evidence exists that a final grade was assigned improperly, the University provides an equitable and orderly process for appeal.DefinitionsCourse outline – the requirements of a course, including course goals and objectives, required readings and reports, testing dates and procedures, grading plans, and all other course expecta-tions.Final Grade – the grade assigned at the end of a course.ProceduresThe student requests assurance from the Registrar that no mechanical error was made in record-ing the grade. Marywood University will not be liable for unreported errors on student records.The student speaks with the instructor of the course. Oftentimes the issue can be resolved satisfactorily at this level. If the student feels uncomfortable in approaching the instructor, a visit with the department chair, or the appropriate academic dean if the chair is also the instructor, is another avenue to explore before initiating a formal grade appeal.A student who decides to file a formal grade appeal must submit the request in writing within sixty days of the date the grade is recorded by the Registrar. The necessary form and procedural guidelines are available from the academic dean of the college in which the course was offered.Approved by the President of the University 3/12/04

Any activity as described in this definition …shall be presumed to be ‘forced’ …, the willingness of an individual to participate notwithstanding.”

Disciplinary charges will be filed also for: “…any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off campus, to produce

mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule. Such activities and situations include paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shock… or any other such activities…; wearing publicly apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; late work sessions which interfere with scholastic activities; and, any other activities inconsistent with student organization regulations, ritual, or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution.” (Adapted from the College Fraternity Secretaries Association Definition of Hazing)

Individuals and/or an organization may be subject to disciplinary action. Sanctions for individu-als are detailed in the Student Handbook. When organizations are responsible for violations, sanctions will range from redirective educational projects, restitution, fines, probation, suspen-sion, or withdrawal of university recognition. These regulations apply to acts on or off campus..

RecoGnItIon of stUDent oRGanIZatIonsStudent organizations are recognized in order to support the rights of students to freely form associations compatible with the mission statement and goals and objectives of the University; maintain the right of the University to choose those student organizations it recognizes; define the relationship between the University and student organizations; and insure that the requirements for recognition, the privileges which accompany recognition, and the policies and procedures that govern student organizations are administered in a consistent and non-discriminatory manner. This policy applies to undergraduate and graduate student organizations including honor societies and organizations sponsored by the Athletics and Recreation Department.The University expressly permits recognized student organizations to operate on campus. While recognized student organizations may have external affiliations and may be members of an incorporated external organization or be individually incorporated, University recognition only sanctions the existence and operation of an organization on campus. Off-campus activities of recognized student organizations, unless expressly approved and/or sponsored in advance by the University, are the sole responsibility of the organization, its officers and members. Recognized student organizations are private student groups and not official representatives of Marywood University. A recognized student organization may not represent the University in any contractual obligations nor present itself as an official entity within the University.

170

There are two forms of University recognition: registration and certification. Another type of organization is a support group that is neither registered nor certified and that follows separate procedures as defined by the Counseling/Student Development Center.DefinitionsRegistration: A registered student organization is a student group that has met the standard Requirements for Recognition as interpreted by the Director of Student Activities and Leader-ship Development.Certification: Recognition as a certified student organization is accorded to registered organiza-tions that have established an association or working relationship with an official operating unit of the University. The nature and extent of this relationship is determined by the administrator of the operating unit, e.g., department chair, dean, director, etc. The activities and programs of certified student organizations are not considered official programs of the operating unit unless expressly approved and/or sponsored by the chief administrator.ProceduresRequirements for recognition of student organizations are available at the Student Activities and Leadership Development Office.

stateMent of ResPonsIbIlItY Re confIDentIalItY of stUDent RecoRDsAll persons who are employed at Marywood University are governed by the same institutional policy regarding confidentiality and security of students’ records. The Marywood University policy is consistent with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended. The underlying premise of the law is that a student’s records are confidential, and information contained therein should not be released to persons who are not authorized to view them.Those persons who are authorized to access students’ records guard against accidental or willful disclosure of confidential information through conversations outside the office, conversations within the office that might be overheard, and improper disposal of documents and reports. Passwords that permit access to data contained in the computerized Student System are kept in a secured place. Similarly, computers are protected from unauthorized access by signing off when stations are left unattended, and confidential information displayed on computers are protected from inappropriate view.All rights with respect to a student’s record belong to the student. Confidential information may be released by the University to a third party only with the student’s written permission, and the University is obliged by law to retain the signed consent permanently.DefinitionsA student record is defined as any information or data recorded in any medium, including hard copy, film, and electronics, concerning any individual who is or has been in attendance at the University.

171

ProceduresRequests from third parties for confidential education records are referred to the Office of Academic Records.Questions concerning the interpretation of the above statement or Marywood University’s Family Educational Rights and Privacy policy should be referred to the Registrar of the University.Approved by the President of the University 1990

stUDent acaDeMIc GRIeVanceMarywood University recognizes the need to assure students a prompt, impartial and fair hearing of their grievances related to academic matters. A student who feels that s/he has been treated unfairly or unjustly by instructional staff, chair or dean with regard to an academic matter has a right to grieve according to approved procedures available in deans’ offices. Note: The University’s Civil Rights Policy and Grade Appeals policy supersede this Student Academic Grievance policy.DefinitionsAcademic matter – that which could affect academic standing or progress in a particular program.ProceduresThe student must approach the instructor, chair, dean, or other institutional officer directly involved with the alleged problem. Oftentimes the matter can be resolved equitably at this level. If the student feels uncomfortable in approaching the person directly involved with the dispute, s/he has the option of progressing successively up the chain of the organizational structure in which the problem originated.The final stage of informal resolution of grievances is the academic dean of the college or the appropriate institutional officer.A student who decides to file a formal grievance must submit the request in writing. This is ordinarily done within thirty working days of the date an alleged incident occurred or a problem began. The necessary form and procedural guidelines are available from the academic dean of the college where the alleged problem occurred.Approved by the President of the University 4/20/07

stUDent HealtH RecoRDs PolIcYAll undergraduate and graduate students are expected to submit a completed health history and immunization record to the Student Health Services Office. Students who choose to use the Student Health Services Office must complete a health history and immunization record before non-emergency services can be provided. Resident students who do not submit the completed health history record may be required to live off campus.Approved by the Board of Trustees 2000

UnDeRGRaDUate eXcUseD absences foR UnIVeRsItY eVentsIn order to have a more holistic university experience, undergraduate students may have one hour, technically 50 minutes, of excused absence per credit of each course taken or one entire lab session to participate in important departmental or University sponsored events. This means students within the specified guidelines below should have an opportunity to make up missed exams given during their excused absences without penalty. Arrangements should also be made so that students will not be penalized for unannounced quizzes and other in-class assignments given during their excused absences.Events such as post season competitions may exceed minimum excused absence hours.It is the student’s responsibility to pursue the instructor to make arrangements for all make-up work.

172

It is the faculty member’s prerogative to allow for additional absences for other reasons such as illness, death in family, etc. Unless otherwise clearly specified, the student will be expected to assume that s/he will not be allowed more than the absences protected by this policy. For example, if an instructor has a policy that allows for two unexcused absences, the student cannot assume that she or he will have those absences in addition to the absences excused for departmental or University events. In order to accomplish the goal of this policy successfully -- to protect the right of a student to participate in such events -- there must be student responsibility in guarding remaining class meetings so as to minimize damage to their educational experience, and to minimize inconvenience to the instructor and the rest of the class.If the student does not have at least a C average at the time of the class immediately prior to the excused absence event, the professor has the prerogative of not excusing the absence.All involved parties – coaches, faculty members, administrators, and teammates – must completely refrain from pressuring students to miss classes. DefinitionsDepartmental or University sponsored events – examples include but are not limited to athletic events, attending conference proceedings, presenting papers, activities associated with fulfilling a course requirement such as department organized field trips, postseason competitions and musical tours.ProceduresAs early as possible and no later than the class prior to the excused absence for an event, the student will present a form to the professor who will sign it to verify that the student has met the conditions of this policy. Forms are available in the office of the department offering the course.Students should do everything they can to arrange their schedules to minimize the amount of classes they will have to miss for University events, and all known scheduling conflicts are to be brought to the attention of the instructor at the beginning of the semester. This process will also be verified with a signed form.Approved by the President of the University 2005

BASIC RULES

According to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: Invert authors’ names (last name first); give last name and initials for all authors of a particular work.

Alphabetize by authors’ last names. If you have more than one work by a particular author, order them by publication date, oldest to newest (thus a 1991 article would appear before a 1996 article). When an author appears as a sole author and as the first author of a group, list the one-author entries first. If no author is given for a particular source, alphabetize by the title of the piece and use a shortened version of the title for parenthetical citations.

Use “&” instead of “and” when listing multiple authors of a single work. Indent your reference list one-half inch from the left margin, excluding the first line of each reference.

This is called a hanging indent. Double-space all references. Capitalize only the first word of a title or subtitle of a work. Italicize titles of books and journals. Note that

the italicizing in these entries often continues beneath commas and periods.

BASIC FORMS FOR SOURCES IN PRINT

An article in a periodical (such as a journal, newspaper or magazine) Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year of publication, add month and day of publication

for daily, weekly or monthly publications). Title of article. Title of periodical, volume number, pages.You need to list only the volume number if the periodical uses continuous pagination throughout a particular volume. If each issue begins with page 1, then you should list the issue number as well Title of periodical, volume (issue), pages.A nonperiodical (such as a book, report, brochure or audiovisual media)

Author, A. A. (Year of Publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Publisher’s location: Publisher’s name.

For “Location,” you should always list the city, and you should also include the state if the city is unfamiliar or if the city could be confused with one in another state. Use the two-letter abbreviation for each state.Part of a nonperiodical (such as a book chapter or an article in a collection)

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year of publication). Title of chapter. In A. Editor & B. Editor (Eds.), Title of book (pages of chapter). Publisher’s location: Publisher’s name.

When you list the pages of the chapter or essay in parentheses after the book title, use “pp.” before the numbers: (pp. 1-21). This abbreviation, however, does not appear before the page numbers in periodical references.

BASIC FORMS FOR ELECTRONIC SOURCES

A web page Author, A. A. (Date of publication or revision). Title of full work. Retrieved month date, year, from

http://web address.Date of access should indicate the date you visited the website. This date of retrieval is important because online information is frequently altered.An online journal or magazine

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of journal, volume number (issue number if available) Retrieved month date, year, from http://web address.

E-mailBecause e-mail is a personal communication, not easily retrieved by the general public, no entry appears in your reference list. When you cite an e-mail message in the body of your paper, acknowledge it in your parenthetical citation: The novelist has repeated this idea recently (Salman Rushdie, e-mail to author, May 1, 1995).

YOUR REFERENCE LIST YOUR REFERENCE LIST SHOULD APPEAR AT THE END OF YOUR ESSAY. IT PROVIDES

THE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR A READER TO LOCATE AND RETRIEVE ANY SOURCE YOU CITE IN THE ESSAY. EACH SOURCE YOU CITE IN THE ESSAY MUST APPEAR IN YOUR REFERENCE LIST; LIKEWISE, EACH ENTRY IN THE REFERENCE LIST MUST BE CITED IN THE TEXT.

Dish it. Use real silverware and dishes instead of disposable ones.

Opt for e-mail to save paper.

Be smart when you shop. Some companies have found more enviro-friendly ways to make their products. Patagonia, an outdoor outfitter, makes its synthetic fleece from recycled two-liter bottles instead of crude oil. The program has saved enough fuel to fill the gargantuan Chevy Suburban’s 40-gallon gas tank 10,000 times.

Share a ride. Riding with someone saves gas and cuts down on air pollution, and it’s more fun.

Be your own bottler. Convince your family to invest in a water-purification system or buy water in those huge reusable bottles. Then you can refill water bottles rather than buy hundreds of individual ones each year.

Be kind to your mother

Never litter. Ever.

Pick paper, not foam or plastic.Foam cups are NOT biodegradable. In fact, if Christopher

Columbus and his crew had tossed

out a few Styrofoam cups when they first visited America more than 500 years ago, those cups would still be around today.

Make a deposit.If you live in a state that has a bottle-deposit program, make sure you participate.

Recycle. Every can, bottle and newspaper you recycle means one less is polluting our world.

Share your old stuff. Rather than throw them away, give your old toys, clothes, sports equipment, books, backpack, etc., to people who can use them.

Given our alternatives, we should treat Mother Earth with all the respect she deserves.

Here are 10 simple things that will make a world of difference:

Five recycled 2-liter plastic bottles can produce enough fiberfill to stuff a ski jacket.

Everyone in the world could eat 6 picnics based on the number of plates and cups Americans throw away each year.

Manufacturing a standard disposable battery takes 50 times more power than it produces. Solution: use rechargeable batteries.

Just one quart of motor oil can pollute 250,000 gal-lons of drink-ing water.

100,000 marine mammals die each year from eating or becoming entangled in plastic debris.

Every year Americans toss away enough office and writing paper to build a 12-foot-high wall spanning the miles between New York City and Los Angeles.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS {recycl ing}

The normal faucet flow is around 3-5 gallons of water per minute.

Showers can account for up to 32% of home water use.

240-260 million tires are discarded every year in the United States.

Polystyrene foam is completely nonbiode-gradable. In simple terms, the foam cup you throw away today will still be sitting there 500 years from now.

When motor oil is not disposed of properly, it can seep into the ground and contaminate our drinking water. Just one quart of motor oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water.

An aluminum can that is not recycled will still litter the earth almost 500 years later.

The average office worker throws away about 180 lbs. of recyclable paper every year.

Hot dogs last more than 10 years in a landfill.

63% of the trash that people throw away can be recycled.

Each person throws away an average of 1,400 pounds of garbage each year.

Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet.

HEALTHY LIVING {about smoking cigarettes}

Risks

diminished or extinguished sense of smell and taste frequent colds smoker’s cough gastric ulcers chronic bronchitis increase in heart rate and blood pressure premature and more abundant face wrinkles emphysema heart disease cancer of the mouth, larynx, esophagus, lungs, pancreas, cervix, uterus and bladder

The use of tobacco is addictive. Most users develop a tolerance for nicotine and need greater amounts to produce the desired effect. Smokers become physically and psychologically dependent and will suffer withdrawal symptoms when they stop. Physical withdrawal symptoms include changes in body temperature, heart rate, digestion, muscle tone and appetite. Psychological symptoms include irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbances, nervousness, headaches, fatigue, nausea and cravings for tobacco that can last days, weeks, months, years or an entire lifetime.Facts

Continuous intake of spit tobacco leads to various oral cancers and a host of other diseases, in addition to bad breath.

Smoking can cause or further increase stress, nervousness and agitation rather than calm you down.

Addiction to cigarettes frequently leads to other forms of drug addiction. Cigarettes are a known killer – why begin a habit that you know can eventually kill you? Cigarettes are highly addictive. One-third of young people who are just “experimenting”

end up being addicted by the time they are 20. Did you know that secondhand smoke is responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer

deaths annually of non-smokers in the United States?Think About It!

{1} Use your head. Smoking is responsible for close to 420,000 deaths each year.{2} Stay active. Exercising and participating in sports is nearly impossible if you smoke cigarettes.{3} Be aware of the risks. Smoking can lead to many physical problems including emphysema,

heart disease, stroke and cancer.{4} Keep your edge. Smoking makes you smell bad, gives you bad breath and gives you premature

wrinkles.{5} Play it safe. Experimenting with smoking could lead to full-fledged addiction and a lifetime

of trying to quit.{6} Do the smart thing. Smoking puts your health and the health of those around you at risk.{7} Get with the program. Smoking isn’t “in” anymore.{8} Find ways to reduce anxiety. Smoking may actually contribute to your state of agitation.

HEALTHY LIVING {dietary guidel ines}

A balanced diet of nutrient-rich foods is a key component of overall health. Follow the food group recommendations to help you eat better every day. Each of these food groups provides some, but not all, of the nutrients you need.

A healthy diet is one that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk products; includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts; and is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium) and added sugars.

Daily recommendations vary depending on age, weight, calorie intake and exercise patterns. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed a website, MyPyramid.gov, to help you figure out the food pyramid that’s right for you.

DIETARY GUIDELINES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DAILY FOOD CHOICES

For a 2,000-calorie diet, you need the amounts below from each food group. To find the amounts that are right for you, go to MyPyramid.gov.

Eat 6 oz. every day

Eat 5½ oz. every day

Get 3 cups every day

Eat 2 cups every day

Eat 2½ cups every day

Find your balance betweenfood and physical activityn Be sure to stay within your daily calorie needs.n Be physically active for at least 30 minutes

most days of the week.n About 60 minutes a day of physical activity

may be needed to prevent weight gain.n For sustaining weight loss, at least 60 to 90

minutes a day of physical activity may be required.

n Teenagers should be physically active for 60 minutes every day, on most days.

Know the limits on fats, sugars and salt (sodium)

n Make most of your fat sources from fish, nuts and vegetable oils.

n Limit solid fats like butter, margarine, shortening and lard, as well as foods that contain these.

n Check the Nutrition Facts label to keep saturated fats, trans fats and sodium low.

n Choose food and beverages low in added sugars. Added sugars contribute calories with few, if any, nutrients.

GRAINSMake half your grains whole

Eat 3 oz. to 7 oz. of whole-grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice, or pasta every day, de-pending on age, sex and physical activity.

1 oz. is about 1 slice of bread, about 1 cup of breakfast cereal, or ½ cup of cooked rice, cereal or pasta.

VEGETABLESVary your veggies

Eat more dark-green veggies like broccoli, spinach.

Eat more orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes.

Eat more dry beans and peas like pinto beans, kidney beans and lentils.

Limit starchy vegetables.

FRUITSFocus on fruits

Eat a variety of fruit.

Choose fresh, frozen, canned or dried fruit.

Go easy on fruit juices.

MILKGet your

calcium-rich foods

Go low-fat or fat-free when you choose milk, yogurt and other milk products.

If you don’t consume milk, choose lactose-free products or other calcium sources such as fortified foods and beverages.

MEAT & BEANS

Go lean with protein

Choose low-fat or lean meats and poultry.

Bake it, broil it or grill it.

Vary your protein routine – choose more fish, beans, peas, nuts and seeds.

SUCCESS SKILLS {successful notetaking}

Taking notes reinforces what we hear in the classroom and requires active listening. Having accurate information makes your outside study and review time that much easier. Good notetaking requires practice.

Be aware of each instructor’s lecture style; learning how to adapt to each style takes patience. Take notes as you (attentively) listen to the lecture. Keep notes in anindividual notebook for each class or in a loose-leaf binder that has a section for each class. Your instructor may have certain requirements.

Date each day’s notes, and keep them in chronological order. Some instructors provide outlines that tell you how a series of lectures will be organized; other instructors will deliver their lectures and expect you to write the information in your notes. Most instructors will emphasize important points by stressing them or repeating them a few times. Make a note in the margin or highlight any information the instructor specifically identifies as important.

Write notes in short phrases, leaving out unnecessary words. Use abbreviations. Write clearly so you will be able to understand your notes when you review them.

If you make a mistake, a single line through the material is less time consuming than trying to erase the whole thing. This will save time and you won’t miss any of the lecture. Don’t copy your notes over to make them neat; write them neatly in the first place. Don’t create opportunities to waste your time.

Write notes on the right two-thirds of the notebook page. Keep the left one-third free for your follow-up questions or to highlight the really important points in the discussion.

Listen for key ideas. Write them down in your own words. Don’t try to write down every word that your instructors say. Some instructors will use the chalkboard, an over-head projector or a PowerPoint presentation to outline these key ideas. Others will simply stress them in their discussion.

Soon after class, while the information is still fresh in your mind, create questions directly related to your notes in the left column of the paper. Place these questions across from the information to which it pertains. Highlight or underline any key points, terms, events or people. Quiz yourself by covering the 2/3 side of your notes and try to answer the questions you developed without referring to your notes. If you need to refresh your memory, simply uncover the note section to find the answers to your questions. Short, quick reviews will help you remember and understand the information as well as prepare for tests.

Review your notes daily. This reinforces the information and helps you make sure that you understand the material.

Make sure your notes summarize, not duplicate, the material. Devise your own use of shorthand. Vary the size of titles and headings. Use a creative approach, not the standard outline form. Keep class lecture notes and study notes together.

SUCCESS SKILLS {basic résumé writ ing}

Remember:

Use only one or two typefaces in the design of your résumé. Use short phrases instead of long sentences and paragraphs. Line up all headings to keep your résumé looking clean and professional. Use good quality paper: A neutral color such as white or ivory is recommended. Do not include salary requirements. Do not include personal information such as date of birth, height, weight, marital status, health, religion

or hobbies. Do not use the word résumé at the top of the page. Keep your résumé to one page. Have a list of references (names, company names, phone numbers) ready to give if requested.

BASIC RÉSUMÉ WRITING

The Functional Résumé Format

The functional format is useful for graduating students who do not have extensive job experience. This type of résumé emphasizes skills and accomplishments achieved in school, activities, internships and in life.

These are the 5 basic parts

{1} Header: your name, address, phone number, e-mail address.{2} job objective: a short statement describing how you can

be of help to the employer and what you intend to do (e.g., sell, design, operate, manage).

{3} Qualifications: a brief list or statement highlighting your background, your strengths and what you want your employer to know about you. This can be optional.

{4} Skills/Achievements: a description of your abilities, accomplishments and areas of competence. These can also be grouped under headings, such as Office Skills, Technical Experience or Planning/Organization.

{5} Education: a list of all formal education, workshops, seminars, internships, school-related activities and on-the-job training (if any).The most recent should come first.

Learning how to manage your money is an important step in becoming financially independent. It’s never too early to start keeping a budget. Use this budget worksheet to determine your income and expenses. If you need to cut back on spending, little bits add up.

When dining out with friends, don’t order a soda; drink water instead.

Skip costly coffeehouses and brew your own at home.

Save money on gas and parking by walking to class or carpooling with pals.

Many communities offer paying recycling programs, so cash in those cans.

Consider trimming “extras” that add up, such as a cell phone, pager or cable TV.
