CLASS CANCELLATION PROCESS

The Instructional Media Department has the responsibility to post the daily cancellations promptly and accurately, but can do so only if the established procedures for canceling classes are carefully followed. Depending on the time of day, you should call as follows:

Between 7:30 AM and 9 PM Monday through Friday, call 431-8940 and give the information to Instructional Media Department staff.

Between 9 PM and 7:30 AM, you must call 431-8679. Listen carefully to the prompts and respond to all the questions asked by the voice mail interview box.

Please do not call any other voice mailbox to report your class cancellation.

Please be prepared with the specific information before you call to cancel class. When you call the voice mail interview box, you must be ready to respond as you will not have time to look for the information after you have started the call. You should keep a copy of your class schedule with all of the required information at home in case you have to cancel individual classes. Upon calling the interview box, you will hear the following pre-recorded instructions:

"To cancel your classes, please listen closely to the following nine (9) questions and record your responses at the beep. It is extremely important to answer all the questions in order to have this cancellation properly documented.

1. Please state your name.

2. State the day and date of cancellation.

3. Are you canceling all of your day and evening classes? Please state only: Yes or No.

4. If you have an evening class, you must now indicate the course and section, time the class normally starts, and room in which it is held; otherwise, state: No evening classes.

5. If you are not canceling all your classes, you must indicate the course and section, time the class normally starts and room in which it is held. State: The following class(es) only are canceled (and state the class(es); otherwise, make no response).

6. If any of your classes are taught at DCC South, please indicate the class section now; (otherwise, state: None at DCC South).

7. If any of your classes are taught at an off-campus location other than DCC South, please indicate the class section now (otherwise, make no response).

8. State the time that your last class of the day normally starts.

9. State the reason you are canceling classes.”

46

This information will be recorded and placed on the DCC-TV campus message channel, the recorded information line (431-8001), and Class Cancellations on the DCC website.

Instructors are also encouraged to record special instructions to students in the personal greeting of their own Voice Mailboxes. 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. Your cooperation is appreciated.

GRADE APPEAL PROCESS

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, this step is for the student to meet with the instructor to resolve the concern in an informal manner.

Formal Appeal Process

Introduction

It is the responsibility of Dutchess Community College faculty members to establish clear grading policies and standards for academic performance in their courses. These policies must be stated in writing. Individual approaches to grading are valid, as long as faculty members evaluate student work fairly and consistently, there should be no need for students to challenge their grading.

Grounds for Formal Appeal

Students may appeal grades in DCC courses on the following grounds, provided that they have evidence, or believe that evidence exists, to support their claims:

A. Failure by the instructor to explain clearly the method by which grades in the course would be deter-mined.

B. Assignment of a course grade by substantial departure from the announced method.

C. Capricious or prejudiced grading.

Step 1To initiate a formal appeal, the student must obtain a Grade Appeal Form from the academic department secretary, The Office of Student Services, or the Office of Academic Affairs. 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 Departmental Supervisor, that person should refer the student to the instructor as the first step in the process. Under extraordinary circumstances, 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.

48

Step 2If 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 and rationale in writing to both the student and the instructor within fourteen days of meeting with the student and the instructor.

Step 3If the decision of the Department Head does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the student or instructor 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 its decision and rationale in writing to the student, the Department Head and the instructor normally within fourteen days of the Committee meeting. A copy of the Academic Review Committee’s decision and rationale will also be sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Step 4If the student or instructor 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 or instructor.

The Dean will report his/her decision and rationale in writing to the student, the Department Head, the instructor, and the members of the Academic Review Committee.

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. Centrally located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Hudson Hall, the library provides ample study areas and a wide variety of electronic and print resources. Our collection of print books and periodicals, an extensive collection of databases, and a growing collection of electronic books, supports the instructional programs offered by the College.

BORROWING BOOKSAnyone wishing to use reserve items, borrow books, or request items on interlibrary loan must present a current, valid DCC SUNYCard. 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 not sent overdue notices or charged 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 signed out to them must be returned at the end of each semester.

ELECTRONIC RESOURCESTo 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 journals, 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 SERVICESThe 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. Feel free to stop by the library, or contact the reference staff at extension 8634. Brief factual questions can be submitted electronically by sending email to refdesk@sunydutchess.edu. You can also contact the reference department via Instant Messenger. Connect to the screen name dutchesslibrary.

COURSE RESERVESA valid SUNY Card is required to use reserve items. Many course texts are available on reserve in the library. 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 included in the online catalog. If you wish to peruse the items available for a particular course, enter the course designation as a search term.

53

If you wish to place items on reserve, please complete a "Request for Materials to Be Placed on Library Reserve". Forms are available from Johann Lettieri at extension 8632. 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 Services (extension 8631) for assistance. Responsibility for copyright clearance rests with the faculty member.

If you are a Blackboard user, you may wish to consider including required or suggested readings in your Blackboard course. For more information, contact Ron Crovisier at 431-8634.

INFORMATION LITERACY AND LIBRARY INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTSFaculty 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.

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:

REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONDefinition: Removal of Barriers to Participation

For students with disabilities these may include:

assistance with registration/financial aid extended time/alternate location for tests adaptive computer equipment/programs note taking, tape recorders seating modifications peer support training in time management/study skills

The Office of Disability Services will provide out-of-class testing accommodations for students who have provided us with documentation of their disability.

The Office of Disability Services strives to maintain a testing policy that is nondiscriminatory and assures the integrity of the examination process.

1. Students are responsible for arranging for their testing through the Office of Disability Services at least (3) business days in advance of the test. To arrange for a test, you must complete the blue “Sign Up Sheet for Alternative Testing”. It is not the faculty’s responsibility to register a student for testing with our office.

2. Testing accommodations are available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. This Office requests that for students taking evening classes faculty make the accommodation.

3. Students who come to Disability Services to complete an exam for which they have not signed up for or for which they are late, may be sent back to the classroom.

4. In the event of a surprise quiz, our Office will do its best to accommodate your needs. When space or a proctor is not available, you will be sent back to the classroom to make alternative arrangements with your instructor.

5. If you need accommodations other then extended time (i.e. reader, scribe, computer etc.) to assist you during your test, you must indicate your needs when you sign up.

6. Each student will be responsible for making arrangements to pick up the test before it is given or have the faculty member deliver the test to us. Disability Services staff are not responsible for calling faculty members to make arrangements.

7. If there are special instructions, modifications or exceptions to a particular test, these must be indicated on the gold “Exam Proctoring Form” which you must have completed for each test.

8. If you have any questions during your test, you should ask a Disability Services staff member and not other students or the proctor. If a staff member is unable to assist you, you may be allowed to call a faculty member.

9. The amount of extra time a student receives for testing is individually determined based upon the documentation of their disability.

10.A student is not allowed to leave the test site without permission of the proctor or staff member. A student may not leave the test site to return at a later time, nor will the student be allowed to start a test one day and complete it the next day.

11. Students using computers will use stand alone computers that have no networking ability. You are not permitted to bring your own disk, if necessary this office will supply clean, blank disks.

Faculty and staff may place media programs on reserve for student assignments by contacting the lab attendant. Students should be provided with the program number and DCC catalog number of reserve items. All programs placed on reserve must comply with copyright regulations.

The department oversees the operation of the College’s smart classrooms, and has equipped every regular campus classroom with an overhead projector, screen and access to the closed-circuit TV system either via a TV receiver or ceiling-mounted data projector. Most classrooms also have a VHS VCR/DVD player. In addition, the department has slide projectors, camcorders, CD players and cassette recorders available for faculty use. Faculty desiring large items may call to arrange for classroom delivery by 4PM of the previous business day. Small equipment may be signed out in person at Instructional Media by presenting a valid DCC SUNY card. College policy does not permit students to sign out equipment for faculty or staff. A-V equipment is also available

66

at the College's off-campus centers. For details about a specific site, contact either the site coordinator or Instructional Media.

Instructional Media operates the College's low-power TV station on UHF Channel 42, available on three local cable systems.

Staff members may occasionally be requested to read to their classes certain information of special importance from the "Schedule of Events."

The "Schedule of Events" can be viewed on the computer kiosks and on the College web site. Some items from the "Schedule of Events" are also displayed over the College's closed circuit TV system at times when other programs are not scheduled.Announcements to be included in each Monday's "Schedule of Events" must be received by the Office of Scheduling by 12:00 noon of the preceding Thursday.

The form for submitting "Schedule of Events" announcements is also available on a Microsoft WORD file from the Scheduling Office. (Complete the form and send it to Susan Moore via e-mail.)

SECURITY & SAFETY

To provide round-the-clock protection against fire, theft, and vandalism, the College employs a private security service under the direction of the College's Director of Campus Safety. Whenever the College is closed and its maintenance staff is not working, uniformed security guards are on duty, making a continuous tour of the campus and all buildings.

Staff members wishing to enter buildings at times when the College is normally closed should check in at the Security Office located in the Student Service Center. Staff cooperation in providing proper identification is requested.

ESCORT SERVICE - Especially after dark. Call ext. 8070; give your name, location, and calling number.

PERSONAL PROPERTY - Mark and secure all property in your car (books, stereo, radar or other equipment, etc.). The safest place is a locked luggage compartment.

PREVENT CRIME - Secure your property before it is stolen or your vehicle damaged!

SHIPPING AND RECEIVING

All shipping and receiving activities, with the exception of the US Mail are handled by the Shipping, Receiving and Warehousing Department located in the North Annex. Michael Sheehan is the department supervisor. When ordering equipment and/or supplies, they are to be sent directly there by the shipper. No deliveries are to be made directly to the buildings.

The yellow receiving copies are forwarded by Purchasing to the Receiving department for account numbers beginning with “54XX and 58XX”. They will be delivered attached to the box in a packing envelope to the person who placed the order when the order comes in. If an order is incomplete, a copy will be delivered with the partial delivery.

To ship an item, it needs to be either dropped off at the North Annex or brought to the mail room. If the package is large, a work order can be sent (http://www.sunydutchess.edu.workorder) and it will be picked up. The following information is required: Your Name & Department, Name & Address of where it is to be shipped and any special handling required (i.e. Value over $100, 2 Day delivery, etc.).

SUBSCRIPTIONS

The College is enrolled with a subscription agency, EBSCO. Whenever possible, subscriptions will be ordered by the Purchasing Department through this agency. Those not available through EBSCO will be ordered directly from the publisher.

Subscription orders require prior approval by the Department Head and the supervising Dean if they are to be paid from the subscription expense account (#5207). Subscriptions that do not have prior approval will be charged to an individual's book allowance expense account (#5230).
