ATTENDANCE AT DCC CREDIT-FREE COURSES

[includes Ed2Go online courses]

IMPORTANT: two actions are required. The professional staff member must obtain the waiver form, described below, and then also register for the course through the Office of Community Services.

1. This benefit applies only to members of the Professional Staff. The following process eliminates the necessity of the individual paying and being reimbursed.

2. Credit-free courses must be related to the professional staff member's field of expertise, in the judgement of the appropriate Department Head and the Office of Academic Affairs.

3. The professional staff member obtains approval via a Credit-Free Tuition Waiver form, available in the Office of Academic Affairs. This form must be signed by the Department Head and forwarded to the Office of Academic Affairs. The approved form will be returned to the individual.

Note: In appropriate cases, the Dean of Academic Affairs may require that the individual complete other forms, such as an Application for an Improvement of Instruction Grant.

4. The professional staff member also must register for the course through the Office of Community Services through the normal registration process. Present the signed Credit-Free Tuition Waiver form when registering.

7/99

CLASS CANCELLATION PROCESS

1. When you call to cancel class, you will be asked to give information as follows:

a) If you indicate that all your classes are cancelled, that means all classes, including day and evening, credit and credit-free, on-campus and off-campus.

b) If you are not canceling all classes, you will need to report the time classes meet, course and section number and location. You should state whether or not you have an evening class. You should have a copy of your schedule, with all of this required information, at home in case you have to cancel individual classes.

2. Depending upon the time of day, you should call as follows:

a) Before 7:30 a.m., you must call 431-8679. Listen carefully to the prompts and respond to all the questions asked by the voice mail interview box. When the telephone operator arrives, she will relay the messages to Instructional Media to be displayed on DCC-TV, included in the class cancellation recording, and posted on the Daily Campus Notices on the college’s web site.

b) Between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, please call Instructional

Media at 431-8940 and give the information to them.

c) After 9:00 p.m., you must call 431-8679. Listen carefully to the prompts and respond to all the questions asked by the voice mail interview box. When the telephone operator arrives, she will relay the messages to Instructional Media to be displayed on DCC-TV, included in the class cancellation recording, and posted on the Daily Campus Notices on the college’s web site.

3. Instructors are encouraged to record special instructions to students in the personal greeting of their Voice Mail Boxes. Students should be informed at the beginning of the semester to call the instructor's office number for special instructions when the instructor is absent.

4. Students should call the class cancellation number (431-8001), or visit the DCC Website.

8/2001

45

GRADE APPEAL POLICY

1. Informal Appeal Process

If a student wishes to discuss a grade that he/she has received for a test or an assignment or the final grade in a course, the initial step is for the student to meet with the instructor to resolve the concern in an informal manner. Note: this process is not used in cases of alleged academic dishonesty that do not involve a grade; consult the DCC Code of Conduct.

2. Formal Appeal Process

Step 1

To initiate a formal appeal the student must complete the first portion of the Grade Appeal Form and submit it to the instructor and request a meeting. This meeting should normally take place within fourteen days of the instructor's receipt of the Grade Appeal Form. If the student goes first to the Dean, Academic Department Head or the Departmental Supervisor, that person should refer the student to the instructor as the first step in this process. If the student is reluctant to meet independently with the instructor, the Department Head may choose to waive the first step and proceed to set up a meeting with the student and the instructor as outlined in Step Two.

The formal appeal of a grade for a test or assignment must begin within thirty calendar days of the receipt of the grade. If the appeal is related to the grade for a course, the process is similar to that for an assignment or test grade, except that the student has until the end of the second week of the following semester to begin the process.

Step 2

If the meeting with the instructor does not result in a solution satisfactory to the student, the student has fourteen calendar days to appeal to the Department Head.

The Department Head will review the Grade Appeal Form and attached materials, and meet with the student and the instructor to discuss the matter. The Department Head will report his/her decision in writing to both the student and the instructor within fourteen calendar days of meeting with the student and the instructor.

46

GRADE APPEAL POLICY continued

Step 3

If the decision of the Department Head does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the student may submit, within fourteen days of receiving the decision of the Department Head, the Grade Appeal Form to the Dean of Academic Affairs, as an appeal to an Academic Review Committee. The Committee, consisting of three members, will be chaired by an Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, appointed by the Dean of Academic Affairs. The Associate Dean will choose the two additional members of the committee from the faculty on the Academic Standards Committee. The faculty selected for the committee will be from outside the academic department with which the appeal is concerned.

The Academic Review Committee will meet and consider all the documentation provided by the Department Head, the student and the instructor. Both the student and the instructor will be given an opportunity to appear before the Academic Review Committee. The Committee will report in writing to the student, the Department Head and the instructor normally within fourteen calendar days of the Committee meeting. A copy of the Academic Review Committee's decision will also be sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Step 4

If the student does not accept the decision of the Committee, that decision may be appealed to the Dean of Academic Affairs within fourteen days for final review. The Dean of Academic Affairs, with full access to all documentation from previous levels of appeal, and any additional conferences with involved parties, will be the final College arbiter of the appeal. The Dean's decision will normally be made within fourteen calendar days of the date on which the appeal was received from the student.

NOTE: The timetable noted above assumes no interruptions in the regular college calendar, such as semester or spring breaks, which would alter the timetable. For an appeal of a grade for a spring semester course, the "following semester" is defined as the following fall semester.

LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

The DCC Library is a vital educational resource center dedicated to providing cost-effective service to our diverse college community, and support for the instructional and research needs of our students, faculty, and staff. Housed in Hudson Hall with an entrance on the third floor, the library provides ample study areas and a wide variety of electronic and printed resources. Our collection of over 90,000 books and over 3,000 periodical titles supports the instructional programs offered by the College.

BORROWING BOOKS

Be certain to bring your SUNYCard if you plan to borrow books. Books are normally circulated for a two-week period. If you need to keep the book longer, please renew it. Although faculty and staff are neither sent overdue notices nor charged for fines, materials overdue are subject to immediate recall if needed by another patron. At the end of the Spring semester, the library will send you a reminder to return or renew books signed out to you. Since adjunct faculty members’ library privileges are extended only during semesters in which they are under contract, library books must be returned at the end of each semester.

ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

To assist the DCC community in research, the library subscribes to a variety of database services. While some of the databases are indices providing only citation information, the majority contain the full text of articles appearing in magazines and newspapers. The library also subscribes to specialized databanks and e-books covering the areas of art, literature, history and the sciences. These services can be searched from any computer on campus, including DCC South, equipped with an Internet browser. Access to the library’s electronic resources is through the library's homepage at http://www.sunydutchess.edu/library/ under the “Research Tools” link.

Those who have Internet accounts can search many of these databases from home. For information on how to use the library's Off-Campus Databases Access service, contact the reference department at extension 8634.

REFERENCE SERVICES

The library’s reference department provides DCC faculty and staff with assistance in all aspects of research. The reference staff can perform in-depth searches of the literature for faculty, as well as provide one-on-one training in using the library’s resources. Reference services are available whenever the library is open. Besides stopping by the library, you may also contact the reference staff at extension 8634. Brief factual questions can be submitted electronically by sending email to [email protected].

52

LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES continued

COURSE RESERVES

Many, though not all, course texts are available on reserve in the library. A valid SUNYCard is required to use reserve items. Generally, texts are available for any course in which the enrollment is at least one hundred. Brief records for all reserve items, including textbooks and articles are now included in the Winnebago catalog. If you wish to peruse the items available for a particular course, enter the course designation as a search term. To ascertain what items you have on reserve, enter your last name, press the down arrow key, and enter the course designation.

If you wish to place items on reserve, please complete a "Request for Materials to Be Placed on Library Reserve". Forms are available from Pat Sheehan at extension 8631. Reserves are processed as quickly as possible. However, please allow a minimum of 24 hours between the time the library receives the request and the time you announce it in class.

All items on reserve must comply with copyright regulations. If you have any questions regarding compliance, please contact Pat Sheehan, Head of Circulation (extension 8631) for assistance. Responsibility for copyright clearance rests with the faculty member.

LIBRARY INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS

Faculty are encouraged to make arrangements for their students to receive information literacy training through the library. Types of training provided include general workshops on the library's services and resources, discipline-specific orientations to information access tools and all aspects of Internet research. To schedule a workshop for your students, contact the reference staff at extension 8634. If you plan to bring a class to the library to use the reference area or for a tour, contact the reference staff to ensure that another class is not already scheduled to use the facilities.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES

If a book or article cannot be found in our library, it may be available from another library through interlibrary loan. This service is available to all current staff and faculty. Requests can be made by contacting the Interlibrary Loan Clerk at extension 8636. Copies of articles may either be picked up at the library or mailed to faculty and staff. Books must be picked up at the circulation desk located just inside the main entrance of the library. Faculty may note that this service is also available to current students. Students may contact the reference librarian to complete a request form.

LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES continued

LIBRARY LIAISON PROGRAM

The Library Liaison program exists to establish formal and informal, ongoing working relationships between the library and individual college departments. The program's goal is to enhance communication between the library staff and college faculty, resulting in improved resources for all academic programs. The program consists of a faculty liaison from each department and a librarian liaison counterpart.

Each academic department receives an annual allowance for the purchase of materials to be added to the library collection. Each month, faculty liaisons are mailed Choice cards, which may be used in selecting appropriate materials. Librarian liaisons also route publisher's catalogs and other items that may be of interest to the various departments. Faculty liaisons forward their requests for purchase to their librarian liaison. When the items are ordered, an account balance is forwarded to the faculty liaison. Faculty liaisons are also notified when items received have been cataloged. If you would like to request an item for purchase, please contact your faculty liaison. This year's liaisons are:

SMART CLASSROOMS

A Smart Classroom is a room that is equipped with a variety of media, augmented with computer intelligence, which makes it possible for the instructor to present material in diverse, technology-enhanced ways.

The four different classes of Smart Classrooms are as follows:

CLASS 1

Creston control systemThis equipment is the “brains” of the room and takes the guesswork out of operating the other equipment. Without it, the equipment must be operated manually.

PC, data projector, sound system (mounted speakers), microphoneVisualizer

The visualizer projects anything you put under the camera (e.g., overhead foil, text) onto the screen.

The VCR acts as a TV tuner. Video is projected through the data projector onto the screen.

CLASS 2

PC, data projector, sound system (mounted speakers)Visualizer (only in those rooms that have a console)

The visualizer projects anything you put under the camera (e.g., overhead foil, text) onto the screen.

The VCR acts as a TV tuner. Video is projected through the data projector onto the screen.
