FERPA grants you the right to inspect and review these records. Under FERPA, once you become a college student, only certain information can be released to your parents regarding your financial and academic record without your consent. FERPA does allow colleges to disclose directory information such as your name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, colleges must tell you and your parents about directory information and allow you a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose your directory information. Colleges must notify you and parents annually of your rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each college.

Title IX Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking. While it is often associated with athletics programs, the Title IX law is much broader and applies to many programs at SUNY Cortland. Oversight of campus-wide compliance with Title IX is the primary responsibility of the SUNY Cortland Title IX Coordinator. Nan Pasquarello serves as the Title IX Coordinator for SUNY Cortland.

Pride and Promise

History of SUNY Cortland Located atop one of the rolling hills in central New York's "City of Seven Valleys," the State University of New York College at Cortland was founded in 1868 as the Cortland Normal School, which included among its earliest students inventor and industrialist Elmer A. Sperry of Sperry-Rand Corporation fame. Over the decades, the campus expanded and in 1941, by an act of legislature and the Board of Regents, the institution officially became a four-year college providing courses leading to the bachelor's degree. In 1948, Cortland was a founding member of the State University of New York. A complete overview of SUNY Cortland's history is presented in Cortland College: An Illustrated History by Leonard F. Ralston, professor emeritus, history. The book is available in the College Store.

Facts About SUNY Cortland Today, approximately 7,300 students are pursuing degrees within the College's three academic divisions — Arts and Sciences, Professional Studies, and Education. Twenty-eight academic departments with a faculty of more than 500 offer the SUNY Cortland student body 61 undergraduate majors, 34 graduate majors, four Certificates of Advanced Study and 50 minors from which to choose. The College's main campus covers 191 acres and includes 38 traditional and modern buildings. Seventeen of these structures are residence halls providing on-campus housing for approximately 3,000 students. SUNY Cortland also operates its Outdoor Education Center at Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks, the Hoxie Gorge Nature Preserve outside Cortland, and the Brauer Memorial Geological Field Station on the Helderberg Escarpment near Albany. SUNY Cortland has graduated more than 70,000 students. Alumni live in all 50 states and in more than 40 countries.

The City of Cortland The City of Cortland, settled in 1791, was incorporated in 1900 as the 41st city in the State of New York. Known as the "Crown City" because of its location on a plain formed by the convergence of seven valleys, Cortland is situated about 1,130 feet above sea level, making it the uppermost city to crown the state. Forty stars, representing the 40 cities incorporated before Cortland, circle the State of New York and Crown on the Official City Seal. The seven points of the Crown create seven valleys depicting Cortland's seven surrounding valleys. The 41st star in the center of the Crown illustrates Cortland as the closest incorporated City to the geographic center of New York. More information about the City of Cortland, resources and events can be found at Cortland.org or Cortlandchamber.com.

All-College Student Learning Goal All major programs of study at SUNY Cortland establish specific learning objectives for their students. On April 30, 1996, the College’s Faculty Senate endorsed the All-College Student Learning Goal, a statement of desired learning outcomes for all who graduate from the College. This goal is stated as follows: A major expectation for all SUNY Cortland students at the point of graduation is that they possess the skills necessary to gather relevant information, evaluate it critically, and communicate it effectively to an audience in written and oral forms.

Civic Engagement: How We Learn to Make a Difference Many SUNY Cortland students learn how to make a difference while excelling in the All-College Student Learning Goal by participating in civic engagement activities.

Civic engagement includes a wide variety of activities through which students contribute to the well-being of people in the community. Those activities range involve areas such as education, the environment, business, and social justice. For example, students tutor children, volunteer with the elderly, engage in environmental projects, create web pages for nonprofit agencies, and coach people with cardio vascular concerns. Students demonstrate skills such as problem-solving, event-planning, fund-raising, and team-work. They put such skills in their résumés.

7

Get involved by volunteering through a Student Government Association Club, or by checking the Career Services webpage, by interning, or by registering for a service-learning course. For lists of organizations with which you can become involved, visit Cortland.edu/sga or Cortland.edu/get-involved. Look for the “Ready to Get Involved?” button on the left.

You can also earn college credit for your civic engagement learning by interning or by taking any of SUNY Cortland’s Service-Learning courses, which are courses in which you apply your skills in meaningful real-life situations.

To facilitate students’ civic involvement, SUNY Cortland participates in a national movement, the American Democracy Project, and we are a charter member of New York Campus Compact. In addition, the college has established an Institute for Civic Engagement, to actively outreach to the Cortland community through its community outreach center, Main Street SUNY Cortland, located downtown at 9 Main Street.

SUNY Cortland is proud to be the first SUNY institution to earn the prestigious Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as well as the first SUNY institution to earn reclassification. The college has also been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll since the award’s inception, with the last four years bringing With Distinction honors.

Common Read and Yearly Intellectual Theme In order to generate common topics of discussion and to establish traditions of intellectual discourse on campus, the Cultural and Intellectual Climate Committee selects a different intellectual theme each year. The theme will be shared with the community in various ways, including speakers; panel discussions; films; art exhibits; music and dramatic performances. We encourage faculty and staff to infuse the theme into their course curricula, engage in in-class discussions and debate around the theme, and propose campus events or speakers on topics connected to the theme. This year’s theme is:

Art & Everything “Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”

- Bertolt Brecht Many consider art to be benign and inconsequential or the impractical province of the wealthy. In reality, art and imagination are essential. They interrogate, inform, and entice. Art is investigative, emotional, practical and provocative. It helps us understand life and transform the world in which we live. Art & Everything will examine the power and purpose of art across the disciplines. The theme will facilitate and drive a wide ranging discourse that questions the function of art in our culture and examines the many ways art confronts current concerns of that culture, such as Black Lives Matter, climate change, gun violence, or growing economic inequality.

Campus Sustainabil ity SUNY Cortland has many ongoing efforts to make our campus more sustainable. In 2007, we were the first SUNY to sign the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, committing the campus to pursuing the elimination of its greenhouse gas emissions. Continuing to lead in sustainability efforts we are the first SUNY to purchase 100% renewable energy for all of our electricity needs, and to build a dorm that is LEED Platinum, the highest green building standard. As a member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, we were recently recognized as the first SUNY to achieve a Gold rating in our STARS sustainability assessment. We also initiated the state’s first Green Rep program, student educators with the goal of promoting a more sustainable lifestyle across campus. As new students, you can take part in these efforts in many different ways. You can participate in Green Rep events. You can help to save energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use or by calling your Resident Assistant (RA) if your hall is too warm in the winter. You can help to reduce waste by using reusable mugs (and receive a discount from campus food service in the process). Leave your car at home and participate in our community bike and ZipCar programs. To learn more about what you can do, each year we offer sustainability workshops, field-trips, films, and speakers through our Green Days series. Please check out the Sustainability at SUNY Cortland Facebook page and our website at cortland.edu/sustainability to see how you can help make your world healthier and more sustainable.

Academic Resources

Statement of Academic Integrity The College is an academic community whose mission is to promote scholarship through the acquisition, preservation and transmission of knowledge. Fundamental to this goal is the institution's dedication to academic integrity. Providing an atmosphere that promotes honesty and the free exchange of ideas is the essence of academic integrity. In this setting all members of the institution have an obligation to uphold high intellectual and ethical standards.

It is the responsibility of the faculty to impart not only knowledge but also respect for knowledge. It is also the professional responsibility of all faculty members to explain the importance of honesty and respect for knowledge in order to ensure an academic environment that encourages integrity. To establish such an environment, students must recognize that their role in their education is active; they are responsible for their own learning. Specifically, it is the responsibility of students to protect their own work from inappropriate use by others and to protect the work of other people by providing proper citation of ideas and research findings to the appropriate source. This includes the obligation to preserve all educational resources, thereby permitting full and equal access to knowledge.

This academic community takes seriously its responsibilities regarding academic honesty. Academic integrity is absolutely essential to ensure the validity of the grading system and maintain high standards of academic excellence. In addition, all members of the academic community must exhibit behavior exemplifying academic honesty and encourage such behavior in others. 2014 SUNY Cortland College Handbook, Chapter 340.

Understanding Degree Requirements The College Catalog (Cortland.edu/catalog) outlines specific requirements for each major in addition to general education and other degree requirements. Be sure to review the catalog to become familiar with your requirements.

Your Degree Your degree is the sum of all your coursework and it illustrates both breadth and depth of study. Most undergraduates are either working on a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science. A degree consists of coursework in:

R General Education All SUNY Cortland students will complete a set of general education courses (see the following page).

R Major A major usually consists of 30-36 courses within a specific field of study with certain requirements. You may apply a maximum of 45 credit hours in the major toward your baccalaureate degree. SUNY Cortland offers over 60 majors. It is important to note that each major may require certain course requirements along with courses in the actual department (e.g., requiring specific GE courses).

R L iberal Arts and Sciences Courses All students must complete a minimum of 90 credit hours of liberal arts and sciences courses in B.A. and B.F.A programs, or a minimum of 60 credit hours of liberal arts and sciences courses in B.S. or B.S.Ed. programs. Liberal arts and sciences courses are denoted with the “LASR” attribute in the course description.

R Foreign Language Requirement All Cortland degrees require a certain level of foreign language proficiency. The level of proficiency that you need to achieve will depend on your major and type of degree you are seeking. American Sign Language is accepted as a foreign language only for certain majors.

A degree may also include: R A minor Minors involve a specific set of courses within a field of study. Minors usually require 18 or more credits and allow a student to explore a discipline without completing a second major. Some majors require completion of a minor. The College Catalog lists minors and the requirements for completion.

R A concentration Concentrations are focused studies within a major or in conjunction with a specific major. Information on concentrations is available in the College Catalog along with the relevant major information.

R Free electives Free electives are courses used to fulfill the total credit hour requirement, but not fulfilling any other particular category. This is where you have the freedom to choose classes specific to your interests, but outside of your major. A minimum of a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) and a 2.0 in the major are required to graduate. Specific majors may require higher grade point averages. Confirm the required GPA for your major with your academic advisor.

Understanding Academic Advising

Advisement Mission Statement Students come to SUNY Cortland with differing academic experiences, varying needs and diverse backgrounds. Advisement plays a crucial role in helping students grow as engaged citizens, which is part of the College's mission statement. Students and advisors have important responsibilities in this process. SUNY Cortland views academic advisement as serving two functions. First, the advisement process helps the student to satisfy immediate, short-term needs for selecting courses, scheduling and registration. Second, academic advisement endeavors to assist students to develop meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their life goals. A successful advisement process must represent a balance of these two components: registration and student development.

What can an advisor help with? ¡ Major and Minor choice ¡ Schedule adjustments ¡ GE and Foreign Language requirements ¡ Learning opportunities ¡ Problem-solving and decision-making ¡ Making the most out of your courses ¡ Registration

¡ Major and minor requirements ¡ Summer coursework ¡ Study abroad opportunities ¡ Career choices and graduate school ¡ Referrals ¡ Discussing academic success ¡ Understanding Degree Works Audit Worksheet

Who is my advisor? Advisors are most often faculty in the department of your major. You can identify your advisor on myRedDragon or in the academic department of your major. If you are a Pre-Major, you will be assigned to an advisor in Advisement and Transition.

What are my responsibil it ies as an advisee? ¡ Initiating and being prepared for advising meetings with your academic advisor. ¡ Completing a regular review of your degree audit. ¡ To commit a reasonable amount of time, both independently and in meetings with an academic advisor, to plan and implement one’s own academic program. ¡ Having knowledge of and meeting academic and financial deadlines. ¡ Seeking out your advisor in a timely manner for assistance in negotiating difficulties/changes in academic program plans. ¡ To be familiar with the College Catalog and the department advising manual (if available).

What are other sources of academic information on campus? ¡ Course Instructors ¡ Your academic department ¡ Registrar's Office – Cortland.edu/registrar ¡ COR 101 Instructor; COR 101 Teaching Assistants; Peers ¡ Advisement and Transition – Cortland.edu/advisement ¡ Degree Works ¡ Academic Peer Mentors (APM) in the residence halls and Resident Assistants (RA) ¡ Campus resources and offices including Career Services, Counseling, the Academic Support and Achievement Program (ASAP), and the Associate Deans. For a full list of your responsibilities as a student and the responsibilities of your academic advisor, please refer to the College Catalog.

courses and GPA semester by semester. ! GPA Calculator – Allows you to estimate your semester GPA or GPA needed to graduate with a desired GPA. ! Notes – Allows your advisor to leave a note on your worksheet summarizing their advice to you.

16

Understanding Your Transfer Credit Cortland accepts a variety of coursework for transfer. Understanding your specific coursework is important, and detecting discrepancies early can prevent repeated courses. While credits are transferable, grades earned at previous institutions are not. Grade point averages which qualify students for honors, recognition at Commencement, or scholarships offered through SUNY Cortland are based exclusively on coursework completed at Cortland.

What transfers to Cortland SUNY Cortland accepts transfer credits for completed courses from any regionally accredited institution in which you received a grade of C- or better. Cortland also grants credit from Advanced Placement (AP) exams, International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), The American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), Cambridge International A Level and AS Exams, and military courses. Official transcripts from all exams or colleges must be sent to Cortland to receive credit.

What does not transfer to Cortland SUNY Cortland does not grant credit for any remedial or developmental courses or courses that you failed. Credit will not be granted for courses in which you earned a grade of D, unless you completed an A.A./A.S. or any bachelor’s degree prior to matriculation at Cortland and only in courses completed prior to your first attendance at Cortland. Grades of D will not be accepted from completed Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees.

Residency Requirement Transfer students must complete a minimum of 45 credits at SUNY Cortland to be granted a bachelor’s degree. This includes at least half of the courses required for the major program of study as well as half the courses in any declared minor or concentration.

Maximum Number of Transfer Credits Transfer students may receive up to 64 credits from accredited two-year colleges and any sources of credit by exam. Students transferring from four-year colleges may receive additional credit hours toward degree requirements at Cortland. The maximum number of credit hours accepted ranges from 75-81, depending on the number of required credits for graduation in the chosen program.

Waivers of General Education Courses Transfer students are eligible for waivers of General Education courses based upon the hours of coursework completed before enrolling at SUNY Cortland. Transfer students are only eligible to waive GE category 11 (Prejudice and Discrimination) or GE 12 (Science, Technology, Values and Society). Speak to your advisor about applying your waivers appropriately. Number of Completed Credits Number of Waivers Granted

20 – 34.5 1 35 – or more 2

Transferring credit from another institution after your first semester: Cortland allows undergraduate students to complete certain courses at another college and transfer the credit back to meet degree requirements. However, once you have enrolled and begun classes at SUNY Cortland, you must seek permission prior to enrolling in any course at another college. Cortland allows for the transfer of credit during all semesters (fall, winter, spring and summer). You should consult your academic advisor regarding your plans, utilize the transfer equivalency charts online to view course equivalents, and complete the Permission to Transfer Credit from Another Institution form. Forms and assistance with the process are available in Advisement and Transition.

10 Easy Steps for Registration

1 ) Scheduling the appointment and getting prepared. You should take responsibility to schedule an appointment with your advisor and review all relevant information prior to your appointment. Be sure to contact your advisor to find out how to schedule an appointment. It’s a good idea to prepare for your meeting with your advisor by creating a rough draft of your schedule, looking for conflicts, prerequisites, etc.

2 ) Build a schedule from required courses using information from the Course Schedule. From the SUNY Cortland homepage, click on Academics and find the Course Schedule link on the left. The Course Schedule will provide the information you need; it has the most current information on course enrollments.

3 ) Determine your Time-Ticket. Your Time-Ticket is the time you are granted access to online registration. You can find your Time-Ticket by checking your registration status on myRedDragon.

4) Know your Registration PIN. You will receive your registration PIN from your advisor each semester. You must have this PIN in order to register. Please note that this number is different than your myRedDragon password and it will change each semester. Graduate students do not need a registration PIN.

5 ) Work with your Advisor to build an appropriate schedule. Elements of a good schedule include:

! Courses that meet GE, major , or other college requirements . ! Credit hours . As a full-time student you should have a minimum of 12 credits; if you wish to take

more than 18 credits you must first receive approval from your Associate Dean. ! Balance: type of course (variety of academic subject), day of the week (variety of days), time of day

(variety of times to meet your needs)

6) Take care of any holds . You can determine if you have any holds by checking “Holds on my Account” on myRedDragon. You must clear up your hold with the appropriate office before you will be able to register.

7 ) Register! Log on to myRedDragon when your Time-Ticket becomes active. Select Register or Drop & Add Courses. Enter the registration PIN that you received from your advisor. Please see your advisor or department secretary if you have lost your PIN.

8) Enter the CRN (course reference number) for each of your course selections. The CRN can be found through a class search as you register online. Select Submit Changes. Courses you successfully registered for and any errors that prevent a successful registration will then be displayed.

9) Pr int your Schedule. Now that you are registered, return to the menu and select My Schedule to view and print your schedule. You may choose a grid or list format for your schedule by using those links on myRedDragon.

10) Review your printed schedule to check for accuracy. Once registered, you may adjust your schedule online until web registration closes or during Drop/Add (the first five days of the new semester). Check your schedule again just before classes begin – times or room numbers may have changed.

If you total all your GPA points and divide that by the number of graded credits you take (do not count pass/fail, audit or other non-graded coursework), the result is your GPA. SUNY Cortland’s GPA scale ranges from 0 to 4.3, because A+ grades are awarded for outstanding work in a course.

The chart on the left represents the grade-point system at SUNY Cortland. First, identify the number of credits that a course is worth. Then, look down the column at the grade you will achieve To figure out your semester GPA, add up all your GPA points and divide by the total number of credit hours.

Tips for Academic Success An important part of your first year in college involves learning the principles of good time management and organization and developing effective skills in note taking, studying and test taking. To help you make good use of your time, here are some tips to be more efficient. The Academic Support and Achievement Program (ASAP) can assist you in any of these areas. First, you should know that the highest predictor of success in any class is that you actually attend class! Time Management

! Write down all assignments and due dates/deadlines in your planner ! Stay committed to your personal schedule ! Use breaks between classes to review notes from the previous class and to prepare for your next class ! Identify the sources of procrastination and make changes to avoid wasting time ! Identify when you’re most alert and build your study schedule around those times ! Study in “chunks” of time every day (instead of several consecutive hours), incorporating brief breaks to relax and

recharge ! Review your class notes every day

Studying

Short-Term Behaviors ! To-do lists help you accomplish more and forget less ! Prioritize your list and check off completed tasks ! Review your notes before and after class ! Do assigned readings and practice problems daily ! Plan for 2-3 hours of work outside of class for each hour spent in class. Most of your college work takes place

outside of the classroom and brings together lecture notes, assigned readings, and research activities

Long-Term Behaviors ! Plan ahead for research papers, projects, and exams…use your syllabi and planner! ! Leave time to reread and revise papers ! Review notes from prior weeks

Don’t spread yourself too thin. Remember your priority in college is your academic work—don’t be afraid to say no. Identify extracurricular activities that take up a lot of time—and find a balance between academics and social activities. Note-taking Skil ls

! Taking good notes now will help you prepare for quizzes and exams later ! Be an active learner – attend all your classes and listen carefully ! Sit up front in class to avoid being distracted

- Participate and ask questions for clarification - Capture key ideas and make connections.

! Develop your own methods for taking and organizing notes: - Cornell / SQ3R / Concept Maps / Outlining / Summarizing - Write notes clearly and neatly - Leave space in notes to add and edit information later on

24

Note-taking Skills continued… ! After class, review and edit your notes:

- Add additional information from the text - Jot down any unanswered questions - Look for gaps in your notes, and ways you can improve them

! Take advantage of your professors’ office hours to address any questions or concerns

Reading Textbooks

! Find a space where you can focus on your reading ! Preview - Survey the textbook for headings, keywords, chapter questions or summaries ! Active Reading:

- Connect reading with personal knowledge. How does this relate to what I already know? - What do I need to learn? - How can I clarify what I don’t understand? - How does this relate to class topics? - Underline or highlight key ideas and/or take notes during your reading - Build your vocabulary by looking up words that you do not know

! Apply – Do practice problems/questions and create your own ! Review!

Test Taking ! Read the directions carefully! ! Use your exam sheet or a blank piece of paper to jot down all the facts and details you’re trying to remember ! Preview the exam. Look over the test and budget your time wisely ! Read the questions carefully and mark key words. To find key words, ask yourself “Who? What? Where? When?

Why?” ! Answer the questions you know first; then return to any questions you skipped ! If you’re uncertain about an answer, use what you know to make your best guess ! Use leftover time to check over your work

Administrative Assistant (AA) Administrative Assistants (AA) are students who live in the residence hall and provide administrative support to the residence hall staff. They can be a great reference if you are looking for information or have a question about campus services. Resident Assistant (RA) Resident Assistants are returning students who are specially trained to assist professional staff in the administration of the halls. RAs live on the floors of the halls and have the most frequent contact with the residents. They help develop the floor community through community development activities and educational programming. They direct residents to on-campus services and can lend a sympathetic ear. In addition, they help promote the values of diversity. An RA is on duty in each residence hall office every night to respond to student needs, challenges, and emergencies. In addition to office hours, RAs continue duty in their rooms until the following morning. Residence Hall Director (RHD) RHDs are professional, full-time, live-in staff members. They provide oversight for the residence hall facility, direction for the individual and community development of its residents and foster an environment of well-being.

Student Accounts Office The Students Accounts Office at SUNY Cortland coordinates billing, handles payments made on student accounts, manages the monthly payment plan, processes financial aid payments and coordinates payments with third-party sponsors. The office also disburses refunds from overpayments, determines residency status, manages the “stop” list, calculates refunds due to withdrawals and manages international health insurance enrollment. Billing is done electronically via myRedDragon and QuikPAY®, our online bill/payment system from Nelnet. Notice of bills are sent via email to the student’s Cortland email address, as well as any to the email address of any authorized payer the student creates. Semester Reminders :

! File your FAFSA and TAP applications early each year. Review your Financial Aid awards for outstanding requirements via myRedDragon. Financial Aid awards must be accepted by you annually.

! Review your Student Accounts current account activity and e-bills on myRedDragon and QuikPay® monthly. E-bills are the standard billing method. You and any authorized users will receive an email each time a billing statement is posted for viewing. If you receive a bill notification email, it means you do have a bill!

! Confirm your attendance and make on-time payments. Create authorized user accounts for those assisting you with payment. Failure to confirm attendance will result in the deletion of your course registration for the semester. How-To guides for Student Accounts functions can be viewed at Cortland.edu/student-accounts (click on How To Guide link).

For additional information, please call 607-753-2066.

Student Conduct Office This office is responsible for adjudicating cases of alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct, which occur on campus and within the Cortland community.

Student Government Association (SGA) The Student Government Association (SGA) has two main responsibilities on campus. The first involves providing the budgeting and oversight of over 70 cultural, academic, and special interest student clubs. If there is interest in a club or organization that we do not currently have, we encourage and welcome new clubs to form. We offer several events throughout the year including the Club Fair, Fall Fest, Holiday Party, and Winter Formal. The second responsibility involves acting as an organized liaison between students and administration. Student Senate is a bi-weekly forum open to all students to attend to voice constructive concerns and opinions on campus that we later direct to the appropriate administrators, discuss club events, and stay up to date on the latest news affecting our campus. We encourage involvement in SGA as a Senator, a member of Executive Board or Financial Board, or as an elected officer. Please stop in the SGA Office for more information on ways to be involved.

Student Health Service Student Health Service provides direct services including diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses such as colds, sore throats, stomach complaints, simple orthopedic problems and urinary symptoms. Staff also assists in the care of more chronic medical problems such as asthma, diabetes mellitus, and seizure disorders. See our website for more information: Cortland.edu/shs. In addition, the Student Health Portal can be accessed through myRedDragon. Here you can view, schedule and cancel appointments, and get secure messages from SHS providers, among other things.

Important Notes : ! The Online Immunizations Form is REQUIRED for ALL NEW STUDENTS. The Online Health History and High Risk

Tuberculosis Screening Forms that are required for ALL new undergraduate and international students must also be completed. These forms should be completed by July 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester. If you are admitted after these dates, you must submit the required information as soon as possible. Everyone taking a class on any of SUNY Cortland's campuses is required to submit this information (only online classes are exempt). This is VERY IMPORTANT: failure to provide the required immunization information in a timely manner may result in an administrative HOLD on your account which will prevent you from registration, dropping or adding classes, and many other administrative functions. Ultimately, failure to provide proof of immunization status will result in your de-registration, or removal from your classes. THESE FORMS ARE TO BE COMPLETED ONLINE through the Student Health Web Portal, which you can access through myRedDragon. More information and instructions can be found on the SHS website: Cortland.edu/shs. Click on the Student Information and then the New Student links on the right side menu of the SHS website. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. More information about Student Health Service, including our hours and location can also be found on our website.

! Influenza shots will be offered at clinics during the fall semester. These typically begin in mid to late September. These shots are very important for students who have certain medical conditions, such as asthma or diabetes. However, all students should seriously consider vaccination to prevent disruption of activities around the time of exams or final papers or projects!

! Don’t forget to encourage your parents to give you your own insurance and prescription cards. Having the cards with you makes it easier for you to have laboratory tests done or to fill prescriptions at local pharmacies. Check with your insurance carrier about coverage away from home.

32

! Also, please be aware, and share with your parents, that per NYS and Federal privacy laws, Student Health Service needs your written permission before we can speak to anyone, including your parents about any treatment provided to you at any time at SHS. In addition, any signed release can be revoked by the patient at any time, and therefore we cannot accept “blanket releases.”

Title IX Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, including discrimination based on gender identity or gender expression or not conforming to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity. It is just 37 words long with broad responsibility. It states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” (Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R., Part 106) Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking. Title IX provides federal civil rights that prohibit sex discrimination in education programs and activities including, but not limited to admissions, financial aid, housing facilities, courses, academic research and other educational activities, career guidance, counseling or other education support services, athletics (scholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural), employment, training for employment or advancement in employment. The protections of Title IX extend to sexual harassment and sexual assault or violence that impairs or interferes with access to equitable educational and employment opportunities. Title IX is applicable to all members of the campus community, individuals doing business with the campus, those utilizing campus facilities, those who engage in volunteer activities or work activities in connection with or for SUNY Cortland. Each school must designate a Title IX administrator to review, update and implement current Title IX policies, to coordinate appropriate training and resources, and ensure effective and timely responses to complaints of sexual violence, misconduct, discrimination or harassment. The Title IX coordinator or designated deputy coordinator will work with individuals to gather information on complaints and provide helpful resources and information on response processes.

! Do breakfast – Either sit-down or grab n’ go. Break the fast to fuel your body and brain. ! Eat a variety of foods from all the food groups. ! Moderation is Key – Only put moderate portions of food and beverage on your plate. ! Eat Fruits and Vegetables - aim for 5 a day! ! Eat an assortment of colors – to get the variety of nutrients naturally. ! Eat/drink the following infrequently or in small amounts: creamy salad dressings, fried foods, alcoholic

Please refer to the Residence Life and Housing website for specific and detailed policy information (Cortland.edu/reslife). Alcohol The following alcohol policy is from the Code of Student Conduct: The College is concerned with the use and abuse of alcohol, as it is with other drugs. A person is as responsible for his/her behavior when s/he has been drinking as when s/he has not been drinking. The alcohol policy states that the consumption of alcohol in conjunction with the violation of any College policy can result in a more severe disciplinary sanction. The following guidelines for the responsible consumption of alcohol apply to students at SUNY Cortland:

• Students less than 21 years of age may not use, possess, distribute, sell or be knowingly in the presence of alcoholic beverages on the college campus or in the Cortland community except as expressly permitted by law and College policy. The only exception is that underage students who reside with students of legal drinking age may be in the presence of alcohol in their assigned student residence hall room, provided these underage roommates do not distribute, sell, possess or consume alcohol. No alcoholic beverages shall be permitted in rooms of students where all residents are under the age of 21, even if a student 21 years of age or older is present.

• Alcohol may be consumed by students or guests over 21 years of age only in student residence hall rooms if the residents responsible for the room are at least 21 years of age. Students present in a room where any alcohol is being consumed by under 21 year olds are in violation of the alcohol policy. Alcohol may be transported through hallways and via elevators and stairwells but may not be consumed in these places. Consumption includes the possession of an open container.

• Alcohol may not be consumed in public areas of the residence halls. • Consumption of alcohol is not permitted on the grounds of the campus without prior approval of the Alcohol

Advisory Committee. • Due to the remote location and higher prevalent risk involved in outdoor activities, alcohol is not permitted to be

possessed or consumed by any student regardless of age while attending any programs operated at Raquette Lake.

• Games of chance, drinking games (actual or simulated), contests, and other activities that induce, encourage, or result in the rapid consumption of alcohol are prohibited. (eg. Beer pong, water pong, flip cup, etc.)

• Behavior by an intoxicated person such that he or she becomes a public nuisance is prohibited. For more information on policies associated with alcohol use, consult the College Handbook.

Emergency Procedures F ire alarms: When the fire alarm sounds in the building you must exit the building and convene in the designated area for your building. Do not reenter the building without approval from staff. Students who are found in the building during a fire alarm will be referred to the Student Conduct office. Campus emergency alert system: In the event of a wide-scale emergency, the campus emergency alert system will be activated. A series of loud-speaker announcements, text messages, cable television scroll messages, and IP phone texts will be broadcast to the campus. In addition, comply with any staff requests related to the emergency broadcast. Residence hall lockdown: A campus emergency may result in a residence hall lockdown, determined by the Director of Residence Life and Housing. In the event of a lockdown, listen to the requests of staff members and do the following: close and lock accessible windows and doors, stay away from windows, turn off all lights, silence cell phones, seek shelter in your room on the floor with a heavy object over you, and remain in the building until you are given the “all clear” from residence hall staff.

40

Suspicious person(s) : Report any individual to residence hall staff or University Police that behaves in a manner that raises suspicion/concern or poses a threat to the health and safety of the residents. Bomb threat : If you receive or hear of a bomb threat, report it to staff or University Police immediately. Provide as many details as possible (when the bomb will detonate, where the bomb is located, the reason for the threat, and the age, sex, location, emotional state of the caller). Active shooter : In the event of an active shooter on campus, UPD and local law enforcement will be engaged in stopping the active shooter(s). Do not interfere with or obstruct law enforcement’s objective. Follow all staff directions and residence hall lockdown procedures.

F looding: Report any evidence of flooding to a staff member immediately. Emergency Services/EMS Emergency medical care is available at the local hospital emergency room, Cortland Regional Medical Center, which is staffed 24 hours a day. The student is responsible for charges incurred at the hospital, as well as transportation. SUNY Cortland EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and University Police are available for on-site care until an ambulance arrives. For medical emergencies call ext. 4111 or 911 from an on campus phone. From a cell phone or off-campus phone call 607-753-4111 or 911. F ire Procedures Because of the possibility of fires in the residence hall/Judson Taylor Leadership House/West Campus Apartments, the residence hall staff is especially concerned with taking all possible precautions to guard against fire. As a resident, you should take every precaution to guard against the possibility of fire. You will be held responsible for any action which endangers others. Failure to evacuate a residence hall/Judson Taylor Leadership House/West Campus Apartments during an alarm is considered a serious violation of College policy. F ire extinguishers and alarm pull boxes - are located in each residence hall corridor and in the stairwell going from the first floor to the second of the Leadership House. The use of either of these fire safety apparatus should be for emergencies only. F ire dr i l ls/fire alarms - each residence hall has at least three fire drills per year. These drills will not be announced and you must evacuate the building each time the fire alarm is sounded. Failure to leave the building will result in student conduct action. Please make sure you and your guests are wearing appropriate clothing and shoes when evacuating the building. If a fire alarm in the building is pulled in any non-drill situation, the Cortland City Fire Department will respond immediately. In accordance with state and local laws, pulling a fire alarm in non-emergency situations is illegal. Pulling an alarm is a costly move which endangers the lives of all residents and jeopardizes relations with the City Fire Department. The College will treat any tampering with the fire alarm systems as a serious offense that will result in student conduct action and state law prosecution. A student should expect the sanction for a malicious false alarm to be suspension from the College. F ire Safety Equipment Each residence hall/Judson Taylor Leadership House/West Campus Apartments room, hallway and public areas are equipped with heat and smoke detectors. The renovated residence halls also have sprinklers in each student’s room, hallways, and common areas. Tampering with these, either by activating them or by making them inoperable, will be treated as a severe offense or will be handled through the student conduct system.

Hazing can occur regardless of the person's willingness to participate. NOTE: A person commits a hazing offense if the person engages in hazing; solicits, encourages, directs, aids or attempts to aid another engaging in hazing; or intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly permits hazing to occur.

If sanctions are not completed on time, a Hold is placed on the student’s record, which will prohibit the student from registering for classes, or obtaining transcripts. When the sanctions are completed, The Student Conduct Office removes the hold. Off-Campus Cases The Student Conduct Office has jurisdiction for incidents that occur off campus. All arrests are recorded and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students receive a letter regarding their behavior for minor violations, and these violations are tracked by the College. After a third minor arrest (a rare occurrence), student conduct proceedings begin. If a case is serious, student conduct charges will be filed, regardless of whether it is a first offense. Teacher Education Majors Students in education majors will have student conduct background checks prior to being admitted to a teacher education major and prior to doing field work. Certain offenses may have consequences with education program enrollment.
