Concurrent Enrollment Program OverviewCollegiate Connection at IPFW serves high school students, teachers, and schools by increasing access to college learning, supporting excellence in teaching, and strengthening high school-university connections.

Program MissionThe Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) Collegiate Connection concurrent enrollment program began operations in Spring 2005 with one pilot school, Leo Jr./Sr. High School, in Leo, Indiana. The concurrent enrollment program was started to address new policies mandated by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education regarding dual credit offerings in area high schools. When the Indiana Department of Education updated their high school diploma requirements, every high school was required to offer two dual credit courses, and the high schools approached IPFW about expanding our program to help meet their needs. The mission of Collegiate Connection is to maintain and strengthen a true collaboration between IPFW and high school partners where eligible students take classes taught by approved high school teachers for high school and college credit concurrently. These are taken at their high school, during the regular school day. The program focuses on three areas:

d Offering qualified high school students the opportunity to enroll in rigorous and transferable university courses for IPFW credit;

d Providing participating teachers with opportunities for professional development; and d Conducting research and evaluation of the program to better understand its impact on students, teachers and

participating high schools.

Ensuring Quality: National AccreditationIPFW’s Collegiate Connection concurrent credit program was accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) in spring 2011. The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) is a professional organization for high schools and colleges that fosters and supports rigorous concurrent enrollment. Established in 1999 in response to the increase in concurrent enrollment courses throughout the country, NACEP serves as a national accrediting body and supports all members by providing standards of excellence, research, communication, and advocacy.

d NACEP provides measurable national standards to evaluate the quality and rigor of concurrent enrollment programs (www.nacep.org).

d NACEP requires Collegiate Connection to have policies and practices in place to ensure that the experiences Collegiate Connection students have is comparable to what on-campus university students receive.

A copy of the 2011 standards is included in the Appendix, or at the NACEP web site at www.nacep.org. These standards are measurable criteria that address quality in concurrent enrollment programs. The standards promote the implementation of policies and practices to ensure that:

d Concurrent enrollment courses offered in the high school are the same as the courses offered on campus at the sponsoring college or university;

d Students enrolled in concurrent enrollment courses are held to the same standards of achievement as students in on campus courses; and

d Instructors teaching university courses through the concurrent enrollment program meet the academic requirements for faculty and instructors teaching in the sponsoring postsecondary institution.

Additionally, the standards encourage greater accountability for concurrent enrollment programs through required impact studies, student surveys, and course and program evaluations.

Collegiate Connection Benefits

d Students, by providing an effective transition from high school to college study. Students are challenged with the high quality academic standards, additional intensive workload, and increased personal responsibility for learning which are characteristic of college study. Earning college credits before beginning full-time study allows students to complete internships, double majors, and/or study abroad. Students and families also greatly appreciate the tuition savings they gain through participation. Tuition for concurrent enrollment courses is approximately sixty percent less than on-campus tuition, with State priority courses as low as $25 per credit hour.

Collegiate Connection students have access to IPFW e-mail accounts, IPFW Mastodon ID cards, tickets to IHSAA Division I sporting events, fine arts, music, and other special events; have access to the IPFW Helmke Library resources, tutoring, and Career Services; and can participate in extra-curricular activities.

d Teachers, by providing them with ongoing, discipline-specific, university-based professional development and connecting them with university and collegial resources. Appointed as IPFW adjuncts by academic departments, teachers have many of the same privileges as university faculty, including a tuition waiver for ongoing professional development through course work.

d Schools, by providing college credit opportunities in the high school for more rigorous classes. More students can also obtain their Academic Honors diploma by fulfilling their dual credit requirement.

d The University, by enabling academic departments to engage in high-quality community outreach to high school teachers, students, and schools. Collegiate Connection also provides many students with their first academic contact with IPFW.

Collegiate Connection Program EvaluationThe Continuing Studies office regularly conducts studies about the impact of Collegiate Connection on students, teachers, and schools. Your cooperation—and that of your students—is critical to these efforts. Collegiate Connection courses are reviewed annually, including, at a minimum, end-of-course assessments by students and classroom observations made by IPFW academic department representatives. Every three years, the Continuing Studies office will conduct an impact study of the program by evaluating participating high school teachers, principals, and guidance counselors. Finally, the Continuing Studies office will conduct a follow-up survey of students after they have completed their first year out of high school and during their senior year in college or four years later. There is no cost to schools for this evaluation.

Collegiate Connection Organization and Partner RolesCollegiate Connection is housed and administered within IPFW’s Division of Continuing Studies and is also part of IPFW’s Enrollment Management program; a complex partnership, relying on many different people and institutions to perform crucial work. The following is a summary of key partners—individuals, committees, staff, and institution administration—and their major responsibilities.

High schools: High schools and school districts fund classroom instruction, participate in professional development activities, promote the dual credit option and assist guidance counselors and IPFW by distributing information as needed, reporting changes in student enrollment and submission of college grades and evaluations. High school teachers: Teachers provide classroom instruction, participate in professional development activities, promote the dual credit option, and assist guidance counselors and IPFW by distributing information as needed, reporting changes in student enrollment and submission of college grades and evaluations.

8

High school guidance counselors: Counselors advise students of the dual credit opportunities, distribute and collect application forms, provide official high school transcripts to IPFW, course registration information, and financial assistance documentation.

University academic departments: Departments approve the offering of IPFW courses delivered through Collegiate Connection, and assist in the selection of faculty and staff to serve as Collegiate Connection department representatives and high school site visitors.

Department Representatives: Continuing Studies works with IPFW faculty to serve as department representatives for a course or set of courses in their discipline. Department representatives play a critical role in ensuring that the University courses taught through Collegiate Connection offer the same high quality content, assessment, and pedagogy as used on campus. The department representatives help select, prepare, and support Collegiate Connection teachers, primarily through interviewing candidates, mentoring new teachers, and observing teachers teaching in their classrooms. Department representatives also provide professional development workshops/sessions through the year.

Department representative advisory group: Continuing Studies works with a representative group of university faculty to review and provide feedback on program changes, additions, and NACEP accreditation.

Continuing Studies administrative staff: Continuing Studies staff coordinate all administrative, financial and policy matters; teacher recruitment application and review; course development and ongoing management; professional development coordination; stakeholder relations; web and print communication; maintenance of NACEP standards; and program evaluation.

Collegiate Connection administrative staff: Collegiate Connection staff coordinate all matters related to students such as: student advising, IPFW admission, registration, student fees, withdrawal/refunds, collection of final grades, and transferability questions. In addition, the staff maintain the student web site, provide print communications, recruit students, and speak at high school admission/information sessions, parent meetings, and other events as needed.

Transferability of CreditsCollegiate Connection alumni who are admitted to IPFW needn’t be concerned about transferring credits: all credits earned through Collegiate Connection will be recorded on their IPFW transcript. Students should indicate on their undergraduate applications that they have completed coursework at IPFW.

Beginning Fall 2010, all admitted students will have their credit and grades recorded in the Indiana University and Purdue University student information systems. Students will not need to request the credit be transferred to these institutions.

Collegiate Connection alumni who are admitted to another college or university will need to request that their credits be transferred. The decision to accept the transfer credit, and how the credit will be applied by the student’s major, rests entirely with the degree-granting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to verify the credits will transfer and be applicable to the desired major. They should contact either the departmental academic advisor or Admissions office of the degree-granting institution.

Types of credit recognition: Recognition of credit, earned through IPFW can come in several forms. Credits may:d Be directly transferred toward a student’s college graduation requirements,d Exempt students from taking a required course, d Fulfill some general education requirements, and/ord Make students eligible for placement into a higher level college course.

Tips for securing credit transfer. Students applying to a college other than IPFW are advised to do the following:d Clearly indicate on the application form that they have taken coursework at IPFW.d Submit an official IPFW transcript (available from the IPFW Registrar’s office for a fee) as part of the

application.d Save the course syllabus and written work from IPFW courses. If a college has questions about the IPFW course

taken through Collegiate Connection, students should present the course syllabus and their written work (completed assignments, exams, etc.) to the pertinent academic department with the request that the work be evaluated on an individual basis.

To obtain an IPFW transcript, students should call 260.481.6110, or visit the IPFW transcript web site: http://new.ipfw.edu/offices/registrar/services/transcripts.html

Collegiate Connection will help students in this process. If transfer of credit is denied simply because the course was taken as part of the Collegiate Connection program, students should contact the Collegiate Connection office at 260.481.5478 or [email protected] for further assistance.

IPFW Implements Indiana Priority Dual Credit Tuition Savings“The Commission for Higher Education, in partnership with the Department of Education, postsecondary institutions and local school corporations, shall prioritize state funding, expand accessibility, and build instructional capacity for student dual credit in the following 10 core subject areas: American Government, American History, Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Economics, English Composition, Physics, Psychology and World Languages.” SOURCE: Indiana Policy on Dual Credit Courses Taken in a High School Setting, May 6, 2011.

According to The Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s Policy on Dual Credit Taken in a High School Setting, State funding for dual credit is limited to a set of priority liberal arts courses identified by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education along with all Career and Technical Educational (CTE) courses receiving postsecondary credit identified in the Indiana Department of Education’s approved career pathways. State funding for dual credit is limited to a set of priority liberal arts courses identified by the Commission along with all Career and Technical Educational courses receiving postsecondary credit identified in the Indiana Department of Education. A dual credit course taken in a high school setting refers to courses taken at an Indiana public school.

• Under the authority granted to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the rate charged to Indiana students for the identified dual credit priority liberal arts courses shall not exceed $25 per credit hour for courses taken beginning July 1, 2011.

IPFW’s Collegiate Connection courses that are not included in the new State policy will be charged regularly discounted Collegiate Connections rates.

Applying to Teach a Collegiate Connection CourseThe Application ProcessHigh school teachers who wish to teach a Collegiate Connection course must submit an application that demonstrates they meet the criteria set by the IPFW academic department in which they wish to teach. This packet and other supporting documents (official college transcripts, current syllabus, three letters of professional reference, copies of teaching licenses, and a cover letter that explains why the teacher is applying and what textbook(s) are used) are reviewed during interviews with the Continuing Studies staff and the department representative. If accepted, teachers are appointed as adjuncts in IPFW’s Division of Continuing Studies. If teachers are not accepted, they are sent an explanation of the academic department’s rationale and options for continuing the process, if applicable.

NOTE: Once a teacher is approved by an IPFW academic department to teach a Collegiate Connection course, the teacher and/or school are restricted to working exclusively with IPFW in the specific concurrent enrollment course for IPFW credit.

It is possible for teachers to teach more than one Collegiate Connection course, but they must apply separately for each course and be approved by the specific academic department(s). If a teacher leaves their current position and takes a position in a school that also allows the teacher to offer the same course, teachers will not be required to personally apply again, however the teacher will need to confirm with the new school that they are allowed to teach the same course syllabus as approved by IPFW.

Application DeadlinesAlthough teacher applications are accepted year round, applications should be submitted for consideration as early as possible. The Continuing Studies office encourages teachers to apply 6-9 months in advance of teaching an IPFW Collegiate Connection course. This lead time allows schools to be confident that they will be able to offer IPFW credit for the course and include it in their student registration materials.

Teacher QualificationsUniversity academic departments define specific criteria for teacher appointment that are consistent with requirements of the limited term lecturer faculty on campus. Each academic department has its own criteria and most require, at a minimum, that teachers have successfully completed significant course work in the field, have a master’s degree, and have a record of teaching advanced courses using current college-level pedagogy to high school students. Additional preparation may be required by the department before teachers are approved to teach an IPFW course. Interested teachers and administrators can review the appointment criteria for specific IPFW courses on the Collegiate Connection web site. http://new.ipfw.edu/collegiate-connection/

Collegiate Connection teachers are typically experienced teachers and lifelong learners, committed to staying current with both pedagogy and content through reading and ongoing professional development. They are energetic and committed to challenging both themselves and their students. They also value participation in a vibrant community of learners, and these teachers are supportive of the University and Collegiate Connection staff.

NOTE: Because teachers are approved by IPFW to teach Collegiate Connection courses, they must be highly qualified. Student teachers are not allowed to provide a significant part of course instruction. If teachers will be absent from teaching for two weeks or more, the IPFW Continuing Studies office must be notified, and an agreement should be reached in order to continue the course for IPFW credit with an equally qualified teacher or other solution.

19

Alternative Teacher Qualification OptionsIPFW is committed to lifelong learning and supporting highly-qualified high school teachers achieving the additional credentials required to become approved Collegiate Connection course teachers at their high school. The Continuing Studies office coordinates with an academic department chair and representatives to identify IPFW courses that can help teachers fulfill the appointment criteria for approval. For example, teachers who seek to offer ENG W131 Elementary Composition must complete a 3-credit-hour course on Teaching Composition or be able to show that they’ve completed this requirement. The Physics department requires that teachers take a 1-credit-hour course called “Teaching Physics with Interactive Engagement” during the first year of their concurrent enrollment appointment.

Department Representatives will notify teachers regarding courses to be completed for the approval process. A letter of conditional approval will be sent to the school administrator so plans can be made relative to the teaching schedule.

If a department requires additional IPFW course work in order to be approved to teach dual-credit, IPFW will pay for the tuition of the course. The Continuing Studies office will register teachers for the agreed upon courses.

20

New Teacher RequirementsWhen a teacher application is approved, the Continuing Studies office will send an e-mail of congratulations to the teacher and school administrator. An Adjunct Faculty Contract from Continuing Studies will be included with the confirmation. The Continuing Studies Business office will also send forms from Purdue’s Human Resources’ department in a separate mailing that needs to be completed and returned. An Appointment Agreement will be provided by the specific academic department that has approved the teacher. Finally, official college transcripts should be ordered and sent to the Continuing Studies office if copies were used in the application process. All of these documents must be completed and on-file in the Continuing Studies office before the teacher begins teaching the course.

Attend Course Orientation All newly approved high school teachers are required to attend a course orientation session with their department representative. This session will include a review of the course content, pedagogy, assessment criteria, course philosophy, and revising the syllabus to match the on-campus course before they begin teaching it. These sessions will be set up by the faculty and held on campus. Typically, the orientation sessions run 2-4 hours.

Create a Joint IPFW/School SyllabusThe University does not require that a specific format be used for the syllabus. Collegiate Connection courses must have a syllabus that is equivalent with the on-campus course in content and includes the IPFW course name and course number in addition to the high school information. Academic departments may have additional requirements for the syllabus. IPFW syllabi are available from department representatives, or by contacting the Continuing Studies office at 260-481-6267 or [email protected]. An updated Collegiate Connection syllabus must be on file in the Continuing Studies office.

21

Ongoing Teacher ResponsibilitiesCollegiate Connection teachers are approved by the IPFW academic departments because these teachers have outstanding credentials, experience teaching rigorous content, and a desire to offer more challenging coursework to their students. Being approved to teach for IPFW is a privilege that has both intrinsic and extrinsic benefits, but there are also administrative responsibilities and academic standards teachers are expected to follow.

Keep IPFW Updated on Schedule ChangesThe Collegiate Connection office will contact the school guidance director or appropriate individual to verify start and end dates and number of sections for each course. Having correct information about course changes is vital as the IPFW withdrawal and refund deadlines and grading process are keyed to this information. Teachers should report any changes to IPFW as soon as they occur.

Create a Joint High School/IPFW SyllabusCollegiate Connection students are held to the same standards of achievement as those expected of students in on-campus courses. The IPFW syllabus clarifies and sets course expectations and provides a road map to student success. It is also the document that represents the IPFW course to admissions counselors and faculty from other universities who are responsible for making decisions about credit recognition.

Academic department syllabi are available from the Continuing Studies office, as well as the Department Representatives. Collegiate Connection teachers are to create a syllabus demonstrating the equivalence of the course in the high school to that of an on-campus course. High school syllabi are to be approved by Department Representative each year. Copies of the approved syllabi are submitted to the Continuing Studies office. Teachers can use the sample template in the Appendix to incorporate the expectations of the University.

Enhancements: If a teacher feels students would benefit, they can also add any of the following ideas:d Statement which encourages students to meet students outside of class if neededd Specific criteria for each graded assignment (rubrics, e.g.)d Statement on incomplete homeworkd Statement on what the class will be like, including a description of and rationale for teaching methodsd Clear guidelines on how students are to prepare for and behave during a class session (e.g. read assignments

before class, arrive on time, participate in discussion, etc.)d Statement describing what students can expect from the teacherd Description of special rules or procedures for the class (e.g., lab rules and procedures)d Advice on how to study for quizzes and examsd Other information which would help students succeed in this class

Participate in Professional DevelopmentIPFW’s Collegiate Connection concurrent enrollment program has been accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP), and IPFW has developed annual discipline-specific professional development activities to address course content, course delivery, assessment, evaluation, and/or research in the development in the field.

Professional Development Expectations Collegiate Connection teachers are expected to attend and sign in at all assigned professional development sessions and seminars. Attendance is critical because the sessions function as faculty meetings for IPFW courses. Both the Continuing Studies staff and academic departments provide opportunities for teachers to keep updated

22

on the University course they are teaching, as well as to participate in the intellectual and collegial community of the University. Annual professional development attendance is also a requirement for IPFW to continue NACEP accreditation.

Mandatory Summer SeminarIn order to ensure the high quality of Collegiate Connection courses, all high school teachers are required to attend an annual seminar that is usually scheduled in late July or early August. The purpose of the annual seminar is to provide administrative updates, course-related professional development and ongoing collegial interaction between IPFW faculty and teachers in the discipline. Best practices are emphasized, and participants are able to meet teachers in their discipline to share instructional strategies and other ideas.

Newly approved teachers are asked to arrive for an early administrative orientation session led by the Continuing Studies staff. This session includes program policies and procedures, requirements for official adjunct status, how to access IPFW web resources and faculty accounts, IPFW classroom management requirements, faculty benefits, and student services.

Later in the morning, the experienced Collegiate Connection high school teachers will join the group to continue the seminar. Collegiate Connection staff will cover program updates, new requirements, campus training opportunities, and other timely information. The Continuing Studies staff will host a luncheon where teachers will convene with their academic department representatives.

The afternoon session is required for all teachers and focuses on academic department topics. Session agendas are developed by the department representative and range from course content updates, course delivery, online resources, student assessment methods, grading standards, and/or research in the development of the field. Faculty may also lead a department tour and provide a forum for teachers to share ideas or common concerns.

The Continuing Studies office provides a stipend for teachers to participate in the summer seminar. The current rate is $100/day, plus teachers receive a mileage reimbursement determined by the Purdue travel office. A mileage reimbursement form will be provided during the seminar, which participants must complete and submit to the Continuing Studies staff. A check will be sent to the teacher’s home address from Purdue about three to four weeks after the seminar.

Attendance PolicySchools should make every effort to allow Collegiate Connection teachers to attend mandatory professional development sessions. This includes providing a substitute teacher if the session is scheduled during a teaching assignment. When circumstances beyond a teacher’s control prevent him or her from attending a required session, a letter on school letterhead should be submitted to the Continuing Studies office stating the reason for not attending the session, including an administrator’s signature of acknowledgement. The teacher is expected to contact the department representative or Continuing Studies staff to review the meeting’s agenda.

NOTE: Teachers that have been accepted to teach an IPFW course, but who are temporarily not teaching, or who haven’t started teaching yet, are expected to attend the summer seminar. This experience ensures that teachers stay current with trends in their field and understand any changes to the IPFW course or administrative policies.

Continuing Studies staff prepare and collect sign-in sheets at every required seminar. The staff provides department representatives a list of teachers and their attendance record at the end of each academic year. The school/teacher representative confers with the department representative annually, reviewing the report on teacher attendance. Should a teacher develop a pattern of repeated absences over a two-year period, the Continuing Studies department will discuss the situation with the teacher and their academic department representative. They may also notify the school administration of their concerns. If the non-participation pattern is not reversed, Continuing Studies and the department representative may jointly decide that the teacher can no longer serve as a Collegiate Connection teacher.

23

Collegiate Connection Student Servicesd Collegiate Connection teachers should advise students about IPFW course expectations and help them make

realistic decisions about registering. The grade earned in an IPFW Collegiate Connection course will go on a student’s permanent university transcript. If a student decides to drop the IPFW portion of the class, they must officially withdraw from the course during the IPFW withdrawal and refund period by contacting the Collegiate Connection office. High school guidance counselors cannot withdraw students from IPFW courses.

d Registration requests are considered late if they are received after the published date sent to the school. Late registration requests will be accepted until the last week of the term in situations in which the university determines that the delay was due to an administrative error. Late registrations requested for any other reason require an appeal. All late registration appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Collegiate Connection office.

d Teachers should help students initiate their IPFW internet accounts early in the term, and remind students that all IPFW communication will be sent electronically.

d Remind students that they are responsible for knowing and following IPFW policies outlined in the Collegiate Connection Student Handbook. Specifically, discuss policies on plagiarism and scholastic dishonesty as described in the Handbook.

d Remind students to keep their course syllabus and all written work from the course. This information may be requested when they apply for post-secondary college admission.

d Notify students that they are eligible to obtain IPFW student Mastodon Cards.

Monitor Class Enrollment & Submit Final Gradesd IPFW follows a strict time line with regard to course cancellation and withdrawal. Deadlines for IPFW Collegiate

Connection courses are relative to the high school term. Teachers and students alike should be aware of deadlines as they can impact a student’s permanent record.

d A copy of the refund and withdrawal dates is sent to students with a copy of their schedule. A copy is also sent to the high school guidance office. Students may request another copy by calling the Collegiate Connection office at 260.481.5478 or downloading a copy from the Collegiate Connection website at ipfw.edu/collegiate-connection (click on @ Your High School on left and then Withdrawals and Refunds). If a course is dropped through Collegiate Connection (not the high school) by the posted deadlines, then students will get a refund. After that, refunds are not possible. If the student withdraws any time during the refund period, the course will not appear on the student’s transcript. If the student withdraws any time after the refund period, but before the final day to withdraw from the class, the course will appear on the transcript with a W (withdrawal) shown.

d IPFW sends an official class roster to teachers by regular mail after the second full week of classes. Teachers should review the list and work with the guidance office to notify the Collegiate Connection office of any changes or errors on the roster immediately.

d After reviewing the final student listing, teachers should hand-enter grades clearly on the roster for each student and sign their copy. The student roster with final grades should be returned to IPFW in the envelope provided within 2 business days of the end of the class.

NOTE: Students must contact the IPFW Collegiate Connection office (260.481.5478) if they wish to withdraw from the IPFW portion of their class at any time. Failure to contact this office can result in a grade of “F” being issued on the student’s permanent college transcript. The Collegiate Connection office will assist teachers and students who need to withdraw or request an incomplete grade for medical or other reasons.

NOTE: Students may retake any Collegiate Connection course if they are not satisfied with their final grade, but they will be required to pay tuition at the current rate per credit hour. Credit will be given only once for a repeated course, and only the most recent grade earned will be incorporated in the IPFW cumulative grade point average (GPA).

IPFW Grading PolicyStudents are assigned the same grade at IPFW as their high school. IPFW prefers that teachers include in their syllabus the course requirements and grading system to be used. Students are responsible for completing all required work in the course by the time the last class meets, unless they have been officially withdrawn from the course, or unless they and the teacher have agreed that a grade of Incomplete is warranted.

24

The following grades may be assigned:

Grade Grade Points

A+, A Highest passing grade 4.0 x semester hours

A- 3.7 x semester hours

B+ 3.3 x semester hours

B Above average passing grade 3.0 x semester hours

B- 2.7 x semester hours

C+ 2.3 x semester hours

C Average passing grade 2.0 x semester hours

C- 1.7 x semester hours

D+ 1.3 x semester hours

D Lowest passing grade 1.0 x semester hours

D- 0.7 x semester hours

F Failure in class No credit

I Incomplete: a temporary record of passing work that was interrupted by circumstances beyond the student’s control.

W Withdrawal: a record of the fact that the student officially withdrew from a course.

Facilitate End-of-Course Student AssessmentsIPFW requires all faculty members to ensure students evaluate the course. Two to three weeks before the end of the term, the Continuing Studies office will send teachers a packet containing the IPFW evaluation, instructions for completion and a return envelope. Teachers should remind students to identify the course correctly by including the IPFW complete course name and designator as well as the section number (i.e., English Composition ENG W131, section 70).

End-of-course assessments must be administered at a regular class period during the last week of class. They should be handed out, completed, and collected without the teacher present (usually a student from the class is asked to handle this process). Students should be informed that data from the assessment is provided to teachers only after final grades are submitted. The designated student can turn in the envelope with assessments to the guidance office, which will be returned to IPFW. After being summarized and recorded by the Continuing Studies office, copies of the summary are sent to teachers and department representatives.

Participate in Ongoing Program Evaluation

IPFW’s Continuing Studies office conducts ongoing research related to the impact of concurrent enrollment participation on teachers, students, and schools. In particular, Continuing Studies surveys all students one year and five years after they have graduated from high school to learn about their success in gaining credit for their IPFW credits earned through Collegiate Connection courses. IPFW asks that teachers encourage students to anticipate and return these surveys. The Continuing Studies office also conducts program evaluations on a three-year basis by sending out surveys to principals, guidance counselors, and teachers to study the impact of the program on students.

25

Maintain Communication with IPFWThe Collegiate Connection and Continuing Studies offices send official communication to teachers via school e-mail accounts or regular mail. It is essential that teachers monitor their accounts, even during the summer and notify Continuing Studies if accounts change. Critical and timely information about course management, seminars, and program updates is sent on a regular basis.

Understand Student Eligibility and AdmissionsThe following policies are important to keep in mind as you are working with students:

d Students must meet course-specific eligibility criteria to be admitted at IPFW and register for the Collegiate Connection course.

d Class-size limits in some Collegiate Connection courses are set by IPFW departments and must be respected. School administrators should be aware of these limits and enforce them.

d Students who earn a grade of D+ or lower in an IPFW concurrent enrollment course will not be eligible for enrollment in another concurrent enrollment course for one enrollment term. An enrollment term may be one year or one semester, depending on the school’s scheduling pattern. The student could retake the same course to earn a better grade, but would be restricted from taking additional courses during that term.

Follow IPFW’s Plagiarism and Academic Honesty PolicyTeachers should address the IPFW Academic Honesty Policy during the first week of class. This policy defines dishonesty as follows:

“Academic honesty is expected of all students. You are responsible for knowing how to maintain academic honesty and for abstaining from cheating, the appearance of cheating, and permitting or assisting in another’s cheating. Your instructor is responsible for fostering the intellectual honesty as well as the intellectual development of stu-dents, and for applying methods of teaching, examination, and assignments that discourage student dishonesty. If necessary, your instructor will explain clearly any specialized meanings of cheating and plagiarism as they apply to a specific course. Your instructor will thoroughly investigate signs of academic dishonesty, take appropriate actions, and report such activity properly to prevent repeated offenses and to ensure equity.” The full conduct code is available at http://www.new.ipfw.edu/committees/senate/code/

Process for reporting dishonestyCollegiate Connection teachers should report all cases of suspected academic dishonesty to the Collegiate Connection staff. Teachers who suspect a student of academic misconduct may, in consultation with the IPFW department representative and the Collegiate Connection staff, settle the case directly with the student within 10 days of discovering the alleged cheating. Teachers should inform the student of charges and evidence and allow the student to make a defense. The teacher, in consultation with the IPFW representative, can make an initial determination after this conference. Students may be assigned a grade of Incomplete (I) if the matter cannot be fully resolved before course grades are due.

Provide Student Advising Collegiate Connection teachers and guidance counselors provide invaluable advising to students. While the Collegiate Connection office is the advising unit on campus for all Collegiate Connection students, teachers provide valuable advice to students as well.

When students are considering enrolling in dual credit coursesTeachers should help students make informed decisions as they consider enrolling in an IPFW course. Encourage them to consider questions such as:d Will the IPFW course workload fit with my other classes?d What other commitments do I have during the term—work, sports, music, drama, debate, time with friends,

etc.? Can I meet time requirements of the IPFW course projects?d What is the impact of enrolling in one or more advanced courses when considering my other commitments?

26

When students are doing poorly in the IPFW collegiate connection classAll Collegiate Connection grades are recorded on permanent IPFW transcripts; teachers should let students know if they are in jeopardy of failing an IPFW concurrent enrollment course. Discuss appropriate options, such as taking an incomplete, or withdrawing from the IPFW course, and advise the student to contact the Collegiate Connection office for further action.

NOTE: Students who receive a term GPA of 1.3 (D+) or lower will be placed on academic probation at IPFW. Probation can lead to academic suspension, which bars a student from registering at IPFW for one year.

The Collegiate Connection Student HandbookStudents are mailed a Student Handbook with their registration schedule. If they should need an additional book, students may download a copy from the Collegiate Connection web site at ipfw.edu/collegiate-connection or pick one up at the school guidance office. During the first week of class, teachers should encourage students to review the handbook and make sure they understand and are aware of college expectations.

Student Internet AccountsIPFW students are assigned an electronic account (username and password) to complete tasks related to their university responsibilities. This account grants access to log into campus computers, access and pay bills for tuition, e-mail updates, review personal information, print schedules, access Helmke Library’s extensive databases, etc. Every student admitted to take credit courses at IPFW has a computer account generated for them as soon as they are admitted. Student accounts are only valid while the student is taking classes.

Student accounts must be activated before use by running through a simple “First-Time User” process linked at the myIPFW portal (https://my.ipfw.edu/cp/home/displaylogin). Students will need to have their birth date and last four digits of their Social Security number or 9-digit IPFW ID number which is available on the upper right corner of their admission letter. Follow the conventions for selecting a unique password. This activation can be performed either on campus or off. For more detailed instructions on computer and Internet accounts, see the Appendix.NOTE: Teachers should remind students that they need to memorize or write down their username when it is dis-played. For security reasons, it is recommended that students never write down their password.

Student Mastodon (IPFW ID) CardsIPFW’s official photo ID card is the Mastodon Card. All Collegiate Connection students are eligible to get Mastodon cards once their course registrations have been processed. Individual students will know their registrations have been processed when they receive a paper confirmation in the U.S. Mail.

To obtain a Mastodon Card, a valid driver’s license, state ID card, or 6 points of state approved documents (including one photo ID) must be presented in person. An application must be completed, and the IPFW network ID, myIPFW username or IPFW email address must be provided. Mastodon Cards are issued at the Office of Campus Safety in the Walb Student Union. For additional information about Mastodon Cards, students should call Campus Safety at 260-481-6611. The Collegiate Connection staff, in conjunction with Campus Safety, will come to as many schools as possible to take photographs for IDs. Dates will be confirmed with the guidance office and publicized to the students and instructors.

IPFW TranscriptsAll IPFW transcripts are handled by the University’s Office of the Registrar, not through the Collegiate Connection or Continuing Studies office. Transcripts may be requested in person by the student at the Registrar’s office in Kettler Hall Room 107. An official photo ID is required and there is an $8 charge for this request. To view transcripts online, students must have their IPFW computer account activated. An unofficial transcript may be printed from the student’s myIPFW

site under the Enrollment tab at no charge.

27

Alternately, the transcript request forms may be downloaded from the IPFW Collegiate Connection under General Information web site. They must be completed, printed, signed, and mailed or faxed (260-481-6110) to the Office of the Registrar. The student’s signature is required to process any transcript request. Due to security and privacy issues, transcripts will not be faxed or e-mailed.

All newly admitted students will have the credit and grades earned automatically recorded in the Indiana University and Purdue University student information systems. Students will not need to request the credit be transferred to these institutions.

To view specific information and requirements for requesting an official University transcript, students should visit the Registrar’s portion of the IPFW web site, new.ipfw.edu/offices/registrar/services/transcripts.html.

Collegiate Connection Teacher PrivilegesCollegiate Connection instructors enjoy the following benefits by virtue of teaching for the University:

Obtain a partial tuition waiver for graduate credit: IPFW provides a 50% tuition waiver to all Collegiate Connection adjunct instructors. Teachers must complete and submit the appropriate tuition waiver request form to the Continuing Studies office for approval. The current bill for course tuition will be adjusted by the Bursar’s office.

Obtain an official Mastodon Card: Mastodon Cards are the official identification for IPFW faculty, staff and students. The cards enable faculty access to discounts on event tickets, software, books and more. Collegiate Connection program teachers can obtain a Mastodon Card by completing an application, and providing their IPFW network ID, myIPFW username or IPFW e-mail address as identification. Mastodon Cards are issued at the Campus Safety Office in the Walb Union building. Teachers need to take their valid driver’s license, state ID card, or 6 points of state approved documents (including one photo ID). School IDs do not meet this requirement. For additional information about Mastodon Cards, call Campus Safety at 260.481.6611.

Access the Helmke Library Resources: Walter E. Helmke Library creates a virtual and physical environment that supports the IPFW community in efforts to discover and access vital information. Helmke Library provides high-quality information resources, expert information services, and innovative instruction fully integrated with the educational goals of IPFW. Helmke Library is dedicated to providing stewardship of the human record by collecting, describing, and organizing information. Employing technology wisely, the library offers responsive delivery of resources, customized research consultation, and an environment that encourages independent exploration in the pursuit of academic excellence.

The library facilities and services are available to Collegiate Connection students, faculty, and staff. The aim is to make searches for information as efficient and successful as possible. They provide basic reference assistance all ninety hours per week they are open and specialized consultations with librarians on a drop-in or appointment basis.

Receive discounts on event tickets, software, books and more: IPFW adjunct faculties are eligible to purchase a variety of goods and services at a discount made possible through university purchasing agreements with selected vendors. For example, teachers are eligible for a software discount through the campus bookstore.

Access technology training: The Information Technology Services department at IPFW offers regular technology workshops for faculty on campus and online. Collegiate Connection teachers can attend these courses at no cost, and they can register or find out more information on the IT Services web site, new.ipfw.edu/training/index.html.

Participate in collegial communication: Many academic departments include Collegiate Connection teachers in their departmental communication, provide access to teaching resources, and invite them to special presentations about new research and/or teaching methods in the field.

28

School and District ResponsibilitiesThe official partnership between IPFW’s Collegiate Connection and local districts and/or schools is a cooperative relationship that benefits prospective students who desire to receive concurrently both high school and transferable college credit from IPFW.

Provide High School Transcripts to IPFWIPFW requires a copy of the high school transcript to admit students into the Collegiate Connection program. These are requested by the Collegiate Connection office during the application process. It is very helpful if the guidance office will prepare the transcripts and have them ready to pick up when the IPFW representative is at the school.

Cooperate with Textbook Selection and Course Materials RequirementsIPFW Collegiate Connection courses require equivalent and/or identical textbooks as used in on campus courses. If specific IPFW textbooks and other course materials are required by the academic department, schools can purchase a class set and include the cost in normal book rental charges, or pass charges on to students. In some circumstances, the IPFW academic department will provide copies to teachers for the class (e.g. lab manuals).

All textbooks and course materials that are not the same as those used on campus must be approved by the department representative before the teacher can be approved to offer the IPFW course. IPFW academic departments will provide (through the Continuing Studies office) a “desk copy” of textbooks currently used in the equivalent on campus course to approved teachers if requested.

Observe IPFW Class Size LimitsCollegiate Connection high school teachers and schools offering Elementary Composition (ENG W131) are required to observe the 22 student class size limit as used on campus. This includes total students in the class, not just Collegiate Connection students. Schools are welcome to offer an exclusive Collegiate Connection course to meet this size limit. The maximum class size for “Fundamentals of Speech Communication” (COM 11400) is 26.

Replacing a Collegiate Connection Approved TeacherMany schools have found that transitioning from one Collegiate Connection approved teacher to the next is made much easier through a year of planned mentoring. A recommended model is for the prospective teacher to shadow the veteran teacher both during class and at IPFW teacher professional development sessions.

d Since all teachers must apply, interview, and be accepted into the Collegiate Connection program, prospective teachers are encouraged to apply 6-12 months prior to taking over to allow time for this mentoring.

d Student teachers are not permitted to teach alone in a Collegiate Connection course since they have not met the criteria for teacher selection. Before accepting a student teacher, Collegiate Connection teachers should discuss the appropriate role (if any) for the student teacher with the IPFW academic department representative.

d If Collegiate Connection teachers will be absent from the classroom for more than two weeks (10 school days), they should notify the Continuing Studies office and academic department representative immediately. The Continuing Studies office will assist the school in creating a solution for the situation and to ensure that IPFW credit will still be available to students.

• First, Continuing Studies will contact the IPFW department representative. The representative will contact the school and work with the long-term substitute teacher to ensure that the approved syllabus for the University course continues to be followed and that appropriate assessment and pedagogy is employed in the teaching of the course content.

• Because the University courses offered through Collegiate Connection “belong” to the University’s academic departments, it is essential that the course continues to truly be a University course. If, after

thorough consultation and careful consideration, the IPFW department representative and Collegiate Connection staff determine that the course does not maintain University quality, Collegiate Connection staff may withdraw the IPFW credit from the class. IPFW wishes to avoid this step but will enforce it, in order to maintain the trust of the University academic departments with which it partners.

• Schools may also use retired Collegiate Connection teachers as long-term substitutes. Contact the Continuing Studies office for assistance in reaching these teachers.

Allow IPFW Faculty Classroom ObservationsSchools should be aware that an IPFW department representative responsible for each Collegiate Connection course will visit teachers in their classrooms periodically for observation and interaction with students. NACEP accreditation requires these visits as another means of ensuring that the content, pedagogy, and assessment of the course are comparable to the on-campus offering. Department representatives file a report with the Continuing Studies office after each observation, and feedback is provided to the teacher. These observations are not made to evaluate the teacher.

Collegiate Connection School Articulation AgreementSchools or districts that desire to enter into this partnership should read and sign a formal agreement and return it to the Continuing Studies office before pursuing specific teacher and/or course approval. See appendix for Sample Articulation Agreement.

IPFW Collegiate Connection Articulation Agreement

Academic cooperation between the School/District administration and IPFW administration will be established and will continue in a spirit that provides the basis for all articulation initiatives.

Teacher Partnershipsd Teachers of courses offered by Collegiate Connection will be jointly selected by IPFW academic department

representatives, the Continuing Studies office, and the school/district. Criteria for selection will be determined by each institution. Teachers must meet the criteria for both institutions to participate in the program.

d Teachers approved to offer IPFW courses receive adjunct status and must participate in a discipline-specific course orientation prior to teaching the first Collegiate Connection course. This orientation will be set up by and presented by the academic department representative. The orientation session will include discipline-specific training including, but not limited to, IPFW course curriculum, assessment criteria, pedagogy, course philosophy and administrative responsibilities and procedures. Schools are expected to provide release time for the orientation unless a schedule can be worked out with the academic representative after school hours.

d Teachers will also be required to attend the annual Summer Seminar on program updates and administrative topics, as well as discipline-specific topics such as course content, course delivery, assessment, evaluation, and/or research in the development of the field. Compensation for teacher attendance at the mandatory annual summer seminar and mileage will be paid through the Continuing Studies office.

d High school teachers participating in Collegiate Connection are considered adjunct faculty and qualify for an IPFW/Purdue tuition waiver of 50 percent on credit courses taken at IPFW or any Purdue campus. The Continuing Studies office can provide Fee Remission request forms for this purpose.

d Additional administrative policies and procedures are documented in the Guide to Collegiate Connection Administrative Policies and Procedures, which is enclosed with this agreement.

Collegiate Connection Course Determinationsd A list of approved Collegiate Connection courses is publicly available on the Collegiate Connection web site

(ipfw.edu/offices/cc/educators). Courses approved are determined by the IPFW Academic Departments.d IPFW must be the exclusive post-secondary provider of concurrent credit in approved IPFW Collegiate

Connection courses. d Courses offered through Collegiate Connection are catalogued IPFW courses approved through the regular

course approval process of the University. These courses are identified with the same IPFW departmental designation, number, title, and credit of the University and with the high school course titles/numbers approved by the Indiana Department of Education.

d Collegiate Connection courses reflect the course descriptions and departmentally approved syllabi of IPFW on-campus courses, as well as the Indiana Department of Education’s descriptions and content as evidenced by the Indiana Academic Standards.

d IPFW courses administered through Collegiate Connection reflect the pedagogical, theoretical, and philosophical orientation of both the high school and IPFW on-campus courses.

d Instructional materials, primarily textbooks, will be jointly discussed with the high school by the sponsoring academic department representative and will not violate K-12 requirements for acquisition and use of instructional resources.

33

Credit Eligibilityd High school students enrolled in Collegiate Connection courses are officially admitted as conditional, non-

degree seeking students at IPFW. To receive credit for a course, students enroll in a specific section of the course created by the University for the high school students, and students will pay the current Collegiate Connection tuition rate for credit. Students who qualify for the national free or reduced textbook/lunch benefit are exempt from IPFW tuition for Collegiate Connection courses. Students will be billed directly by the IPFW Bursar for the appropriate tuition each semester they register. Student invoices are posted to their myIPFW account. A statement of financial liability is also sent to the parent/guardian once the student is admitted. Neither the district office nor the high school has any obligation to pay tuition for any student.

d All credit received by students in a Collegiate Connection course offered at the high school will be recorded as credit on an official University transcript and will be accepted to satisfy applicable degree requirements of IPFW or another degree-granting institution. While courses are intended to be fully transferable to any college or university, whether or not that credit is allowed by another institution is at the sole discretion of the degree-granting institution and/or specific academic discipline of that institution.

d Both the high school and IPFW agree that the intent of the program is to provide upper-level, high-quality academic courses for high school students. Measurement of student success will be determined for each approved Collegiate Connection course and will reflect the needs of both institutions.

Program Reviewd Collegiate Connection courses will be reviewed annually, including, at a minimum, end-of-course assessments

by students and classroom observations made by IPFW academic department representatives.d Every three years, the Continuing Studies office will conduct an impact study of the program on participating

high school instructors, principals, and guidance counselors. Costs for the study are the responsibility of the Continuing Studies office.

d The Continuing Studies office will also conduct a follow-up survey of students after they have completed their first year out of Collegiate Connection and during their senior year in college or the equivalent. Costs of the study are the responsibility of the Continuing Studies office.

Effective Date, Amendment, and Terminationd Terms of this Articulation Agreement will be effective for three years based on the date of the agreement

below.d Each institution will inform the other through its academic representatives or Continuing Studies office of any

institutional plans or changes that have impact upon the points of this agreement prior to implementing those plans and changes.

d Written notice of intent to terminate or withdraw from this Articulation Agreement will be submitted by the IPFW Continuing Studies office or academic head of the high school/district not less than six months prior to the proposed date of termination/withdrawal.

NACEP Concurrent Enrollment Partnership Standards Overview

About NACEP NACEP is a professional organization for high schools and colleges that fosters and supports rigorous concurrent enrollment. Established in 1999 in response to the dramatic increase in concurrent enrollment courses throughout the country, NACEP serves as a national accrediting body and supports all members by providing standards of excellence, research, communication, and advocacy.

Definition Through Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (CEPs), qualified students can earn college credit prior to high school graduation. Concurrent enrollment is sometimes identified by other terms such as “dual credit,” “dual enrollment,” or “college in the high schools.” While these terms encompass several different models of accelerated learning, NACEP defines a concurrent enrollment program as one that offers college courses to high school students:

In the high school, During the regular school day, Taught by high school teachers.

Such programs provide a direct connection between secondary and postsecondary institutions and an opportunity for collegial collaboration. Although concurrent enrollment programs may have some elements or characteristics of the programs stated below, concurrent enrollment is distinct from the following:

Programs in which the high school student travels to the college campus to take courses prior to graduation during the academic year or during the summer.

Programs where college faculty travel to the high school to teach courses to the high school students.

The College Board Advanced Placement Program and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme where standardized tests are used to assess students’ knowledge of a curriculum developed by a committee consisting of both college and high school faculty.

Standards Purpose

NACEP’s Standards are measurable criteria that address quality in concurrent enrollment programs. The standards promote the implementation of policies and practices to ensure that:

Concurrent enrollment courses offered in the high school are the same as the courses offered on-campus at the sponsoring college or university;

Students enrolled in concurrent enrollment courses are held to the same standards of achievement as students in on-campus courses; and

Instructors teaching college or university courses through the concurrent enrollment program meet the academic requirements for faculty and instructors teaching in the sponsoring postsecondary institution.

Additionally, the standards encourage greater accountability for concurrent enrollment programs through required impact studies, student surveys, and course and program evaluations.

The standards are the basis for accreditation, but all concurrent enrollment programs can benefit by using the standards as a framework for program development.
