IMPROVEMENT OF INSTRUCTION POLICY AND PROCEDURE

PURPOSE: The primary purpose of Professional Development Projects is the improvement of instruction through projects outside the normal course development activities regularly engaged in by faculty. These may include such activities as the production of videotapes, multimedia presentations, computer simulations, self-paced tutorials, instructional manuals, or other course materials for department use; development of faculty seminars which may include the use of outside scholars or consultants; or participation in off-campus workshops or credit-free courses which bear directly upon instruction and course content.

Note: This benefit is dependent on the College budget.

CRITERIA: While it is almost impossible to define with great detail the kinds of applications which are appropriate, some general examples might be helpful. Projects such as the creation of supplementary materials to be used by multiple instructors in all sections of a course, or the development of extensive materials for alternate modes of instruction are eligible, while activities such as regular course revision and the development of routine support materials are not eligible for funding. Off-campus seminar or conference fees and expenses are eligible for support, with those activities which relate most directly to the improvement of instruction having top priority. A similar test will apply to on-campus seminars or group activities involving outside consultants or speakers. Attach a descriptive brochure or announcement to all applications for participation in seminars, workshops, credit-free short courses and similar activities.

ELIGIBILITY: All full-time members of the professional staff are eligible to apply for Improvement of Instruction awards.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Applications must be approved by the Department Chair and should be forwarded to the Office of Academic Affairs by the announced deadline. For joint projects, submit one application identifying the co-applicants; the first name listed will be considered the contact person for the grant. Applications are available on the DCC website at Blackboard, Faculty tab, Faculty and Staff Information, Important Documents, Grant Forms and Documents.

DCC MINIGRANT PURPOSE AND PROCEDURE

The purpose of the DCC Foundation Mini-Grant Program is to encourage innovative activities or projects by individuals or groups of the professional staff that will have a significant impact on students and college life. All applications will be considered for funding, but preference will be given to projects that address College objectives for the coming academic year.

There are different types of mini-grants available, which may have different requirements and award amounts.

Note: This benefit is dependent on the DCC Foundation budget.

Guidelines and Application Procedures:

1. Purchased equipment will become the property of the College. 2. Applications are available on the DCC website at Blackboard, Faculty tab, Faculty and Staff Information, Important Documents, Grant Forms and Documents. 3. Submit applications to the Office of Academic Affairs.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT GUIDELINES

The following guidelines govern the administration of the tuition reimbursement policy covered by section 5.02 of the latest Negotiated Agreement.

1. Priority I applicants include the following: a. Teaching educators on continuing or term appointments who are taking graduate courses to satisfy promotion and tenure requirements.

b. Non-teaching educators. c. Educators directed by the Academic Dean to pursue studies to meet a specific college need.

d. Educators on sabbatical leave doing graduate work.

2. Priority II applicants include the following: a. Full Professors pursuing graduate study to enhance their professional development. 75% initial support, full balance if available.

3. The Dean of Academic Affairs may approve partial grants even to Priority I applicants in order to have funds available for the full academic year.

4. The Dean of Academic Affairs may approve lesser grants or no grants for Priority II and III applicants should the Dean judge that Priority I applicants require all available funding.

5. Applicants should apply in September for funds for the entire academic year including the following summer. Approval to apply at a later date may be given by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

6. The total reimbursement from a combination of SUNY Tuition Waiver and DCC Tuition Reimbursement may not exceed $2,000 per professional staff member in the academic year.

CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE AND TRAVEL POLICY

The policy on Conference Attendance and Travel is located in the Professional Staff Handbook. Please refer to section 20.1 - Travel Authorization and Allowances.

TUITION WAIVER PROGRAM FOR CREDIT COURSES

The following guidelines govern the administration of the contractual benefit allowing professional staff and their dependants to enroll in Dutchess Community College courses without paying tuition. Courses may be taken for grade or for audit.

The conditions under which this benefit may be exercised are:

1. Students must be eligible for participation in the program pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Individuals claimed as a dependent must meet all relevant IRS criteria to qualify as a dependent.

2. A Tuition Waiver Form must be obtained from the Office of Human Resources Management.

3. The waiver may be used for courses taken for credit or audit.

4. The waiver applies only to tuition, not fees.

5. The student is not guaranteed placement into a particular course or section.

6. After approval by the Office of Human Resources Management, the student completes the regular registration process, submitting all forms and payment of fees by the normal deadlines. Auditors should wait until the first day of the semester to register.

7. The grade for the course, or an indication of audit status, will be available on an official transcript.

ATTENDANCE AT DCC CREDIT-FREE COURSES

[Includes Ed2Go and ProTrain online courses]

The following guidelines govern the administration of the contractual benefit allowing professional staff to attend job-related Dutchess Community College credit-free courses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

EXTENDED COURSE OUTLINES (EXO)

The Extended Course Outline is the primary vehicle for describing each credit bearing course offered at Dutchess Community College. It forms the basis for a contract among the student, the program or department, and the college by identifying the basic components of the course. The course description should be a clear and understandable abstract and will be published in the college catalog, and/or schedule of classes, and/or addenda. The Student Learning Outcomes included in the EXO are the basis for course assessment activities and should describe, in terms that can be measured, what a student will know or be able to do by the end of the course. Whenever a course is revised or updated, it is the Extended Course Outline that documents the changes.

The Extended Course Outline should not be confused with the syllabus. While the EXO contains the basic components of the course required to be taught by all instructors, the syllabus describes how the individual instructor will implement that outline through specific assignments. Faculty will distribute syllabi to their individual classes that may include specific information such as contact data (office location, office hours, email, phone), daily / weekly topics, assignments, test dates, grading standards, and other statements concerning the conduct of the course as required by the individual instructor. All syllabi should include the course description and objectives that match those in the Extended Course Outline.

Comprehensive Guidelines for Extended Course Outlines have been developed and approved by the Curriculum Committee. They can be found in the Curriculum Committee Handbook and on myDCC/Faculty/Faculty and Staff Information/Important Documents/Curriculum Committee. Please refer to that document for information when completing an Extended Course Outline.

FAQ’s about EXO’s:

1. When is an EXO required? An EXO is initially required when a new course is proposed. For any existing course, an EXO must be completed whenever changes are made to a course title, description, co- or pre-requisites, the textbook or whenever a course is substantially revised. Extended Course Outlines must be reviewed and updated at least every three (3) years.

2. Who gets a copy of the revised EXO? An electronic file copy along with a signed hardcopy of the signed Extended Course Outline for each course offered by the College must be on file in the Office of Academic Affairs. Each academic department should also maintain a file of its current Extended Course Outlines.

3. Can I use the EXO as a syllabus? The EXO can be distributed to students if an instructor chooses to do so. However, since the EXO is a generic course document, a cover sheet should be included that includes class specific information such as contact data(office location, office hours, email, phone), daily / weekly topics, assignments, test dates, grading standards, and other statements concerning the conduct of the course as required by the individual instructor.

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.

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.

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 determined.

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

C. Capricious or prejudiced grading.

Step 1

To initiate a formal appeal, the student must obtain a Grade Appeal Form from the academic department secretary, 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 Chair or Departmental Supervisor, that person should refer the student to the instructor as the first step in the process. Under extraordinary circumstances, the Department Chair 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.

Step 2

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

The Department Chair will review the Grade Appeal Form and attached materials, and meet with the student and the instructor to discuss the matter. The Department Chair 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 3

If the decision of the Department Chair does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the student or instructor may submit, within fourteen days of receiving the decision of the Department Chair, the Grade Appeal Form to the Office 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 Committee on Student Learning and Assessment (CSLA). 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 Chair, 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 Chair 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 4

If 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 Chair, 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.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY

A. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Cheating on examinations

2. Plagiarism, the representation of another’s ideas or writing as one’s own, including but not limited to: a. presenting all or part of another person’s published work as something one has written; b. paraphrasing or summarizing another’s writing without proper acknowledgement; c. representing another’s artistic or technical work or creation as one’s own.

3. Willingly collaborating with others in any of the above actions which result(s) in work being submitted which is not the student’s own.

4. Stealing examinations, falsifying academic records and other such offenses.

5. Submitting work previously presented in another course without permission of instructor.

6. Unauthorized duplication of computer software.

7. Unauthorized use of copyrighted or published material.

B. If, based on substantial evidence, an instructor deems that a student is guilty of academic dishonesty, the instructor may initiate disciplinary action. 1. The instructor may require that the student repeat the assignment or examination, or

2. The instructor may give the student a failing grade for the assignment or examination, or

3. The instructor may give the student a failing grade for the course.

4. Additionally, the instructor may require that the student receive counseling on academic honesty through the Office of the Dean of Student Services.

C. Academic Dishonesty Appeal Process 1. Informal Appeal Process If a student wishes to discuss a disciplinary action that she/he has received for an alleged instance of academic dishonesty, the initial step is for the student to meet with the instructor to attempt to resolve the issue in an informal manner.

2. Formal Appeal Process Step 1 To initiate a formal appeal, the student must obtain an Academic Dishonesty Appeal Form from the Academic Department Secretary, or the Office of Academic Affairs. The student must complete the first portion of the Academic Dishonesty 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 Academic Dishonesty Appeal Form. If the student goes first to the Dean, Academic Department Chair or Departmental Supervisor, that person should refer the student to the instructor as the first step in this process. If the student is reluctant to meet independently with the instructor, the Department Chair 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 an alleged instance of 44

academic dishonesty must begin within thirty calendar days of any disciplinary action initiated by the instructor.

Step 2 If the meeting with the instructor does not result in a satisfactory resolution of the issue, the student has fourteen calendar days to appeal to the Department Chair. The Department Chair will review the Academic Dishonesty Appeal Form and attached materials, and meet with the student and the instructor to discuss the matter. The Department Chair will report her/his decision in writing to both the student and the instructor within fourteen calendar days of meeting with the student and the instructor.

Step 3 If the decision of the Department Chair does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the student may submit, within fourteen days of receiving the decision of the Department Chair, the Academic Dishonesty Appeal Form to the Dean of Academic Affairs, as an appeal to convene an Academic Review Committee. The Committee, consisting of five members, will be chaired by an Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, appointed by the Dean of Academic Affairs. The Associate Dean will choose two faculty members for the committee from the faculty on the Committee on Student Learning and Assessment.* The faculty selected for the committee will be from outside the academic department with which the appeal is concerned. The president of Student Senate will select two student representatives to serve on the committee.

Any member who feels unable to approach a case in a spirit of neutrality may ask to be excused from hearing the case. An alternate appointed by the officer of the appropriate appointing group will fill said member’s place

Any member whom the committee feels cannot approach a case in a spirit of neutrality will be examined on the matter by the committee, and if neutrality is not established, the committee, on the basis of a majority vote, will ask that member not to hear the case. The presiding officer of the appropriate appointing group will appoint an alternate.

The Academic Review Committee will meet and consider all the documentation provided by the Department Chair, the student and the instructor. Both the student and the instructor will be given an opportunity to appear before the Academic Review Committee. The student may, if she/he chooses, be accompanied by a member of the college community to serve as an advocate. The Committee will report in writing to the student, the Department Chair and the instructor normally within fourteen calendar days of the Committee meeting. A copy of the Academic Review Committee decision will also be sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Step 4 If the student does not accept the decision of the Committee, that decision may be appealed to the Dean of Academic Affairs within fourteen days for final review. The Dean of Academic Affairs, with full access to all documentation from previous levels of appeal, and any additional conferences with involved parties, will be the final College arbiter of the appeal. The Dean’s decision will normally be made within fourteen calendar days of the date on which the appeal was received from the student. NOTE: The timetable noted above assumes no interruption in the regular college calendar, such as semester or spring breaks, which would alter the timetable. For an appeal of an occurrence of academic dishonesty during the spring semester, the “following semester” is defined as the following fall semester.

Students may feel alone, isolated, depressed, anxious, and even hopeless when faced with academic, social, and life challenges. These feelings can easily disrupt a student’s success and may lead to difficulties coping, outbursts, and other serious consequences. DCC faculty and staff can support students experiencing distress by recognizing when a student is troubled, listening to their concerns, responding with compassion, and referring them to a professional. Below is basic information about how to identify and what to do in case a student needs help or support. Please keep in mind that you can ALWAYS call the Dean of Students Office and discuss any concerns or issues you may have at (845) 431-8970.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, also known as ‘FERPA’ or ‘The Buckley Amendment’ is a federal law (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) that protects student education records by governing disclosure of student records and affording students specific rights to their records, including access. FERPA affords students the right of privacy regarding their grades, enrollment, and even billing information, unless an institution has prior written permission from the student to share that specific type of information, or, in the alternative, a relevant exception applies. FERPA also gives students the right to inspect and review their education records and, under certain circumstances, the right to request that such records be amended.

Copies of all correspondence, agendas, and minutes must be maintained by the Office of Academic Affairs (OAA). Please be sure to send copies of these items to the OAA (attention: Sue McGlynn).

ADVISORY COMMITTEES (continued)

Fall Schedule

By September 15, 2017, the chairperson of each committee should send dates, times, and room locations (obtained through Allison Miller in Scheduling) of meetings to OAA (Sue McGlynn). Agendas should be sent to OAA as well. The use of email is encouraged for communicating with your committee, including meeting agendas. If a chairperson requests that the OAA send the agenda, the OAA will do so. Meeting invitations/agendas should be (e)mailed three weeks prior to the meeting date.

Spring Schedule

In the spring, all meetings will be held on April 5, 2018 either at 4:00 or 4:30 p.m., unless there is a special request for another date/time.

By March 1, 2018, the chairperson of each committee should send dates, times, and room locations (obtained through Allison Miller in Scheduling) of meetings to OAA (Sue McGlynn). Agendas should be sent to OAA as well. The use of email is encouraged for communicating with your committee. Meeting/Recognition Dinner invitations will be mailed at least three weeks prior to the meeting date by the OAA. If you wish to include your agenda in this mailing, you may do so or you may choose to send it to your committee members yourself.

Procedure for Adding/Removing an Advisory Committee Member

Chairpersons are encouraged to review their roster each year and to propose additions or deletions as appropriate.

New members are invited to serve by the President. VITA forms should be completed by the Chairperson for each new candidate and submitted to the OAA. The forms are available in the OAA. These forms should be accompanied by a resume and professional VITA.

The President is given the completed VITA form and resume/VITA by OAA. Based on the consideration of the President, an invitation letter may be sent to the prospective advisory committee member, which also contains information as to how the individual can accept or decline the invitation to join the Advisory Committee.

When a chairperson removes someone from their committee, they should notify the OAA so a letter thanking the person for having served on a curriculum advisory committee can be sent and accurate records can be maintained.

FIELD TRIPS Faculty members may schedule field trips at their own discretion. Each faculty member is, however, responsible for making all the arrangements necessary to make the trip a worthwhile educational experience.

The Academic Dean’s Office should be informed of all field trips at least two weeks in advance and should be supplied with a list of students involved. The Request for Approval of Field Trip form must be submitted for approval of the Dean of Academic Affairs at least two weeks prior to the date of the trip. Field Trips that are overnight require more processing time and faculty members should plan accordingly. Please submit overnight field trip requests at least four weeks in advance of the trip. Copies of approved field trip requests will be automatically forwarded to the Director of Scheduling so that the necessary notice concerning students being excused from classes can be posted under QuickLinks on the Faculty and Employee tabs of myDCC. In order to minimize class conflicts, faculty members should not generally plan more than one field trip a semester, outside of normal class meeting times, for a given class. Field trips are not to be scheduled during the week when mid-term grades are due or during the fourteenth or fifteenth week of the semester. Field trips cannot be a course requirement unless scheduled prior to grades being submitted.

FIRE DRILLS Unannounced fire drills are held several times throughout the year. All occupants of the building are required to participate in each drill. Instructions for vacating buildings in the event of a fire drill or fire are posted in every classroom and office, and each instructor is responsible for acquainting the students in his/her classes with these procedures. Instructions should be read aloud early in each semester. “A link to the DCC Emergency Services page, including access to the DCC Emergency Action Guide, can be found on the mydcc website. A fire safety video can be viewed at https://www2.sunydutchess.edu/firealarm/”.

A sounding of the gong or horn is the signal to vacate the building. All windows are to be closed, lights turned off and doors closed. Persons should not use building elevators during any emergency. Building occupants who are unable to evacuate due to disability or infirmity should seek shelter in Areas of Refuge, typically in the building stairwells, and notify Security via the emergency telephones in each Area of Refuge. After leaving the building, all groups must proceed to at least 50 yards from the nearest wall of the building and wait until there is an all-clear signal. Driveways and access roads are to be left clear for the fire equipment.

MAIL SERVICE

College mail is generally distributed at 10:30am in the mailboxes located on the 3rd floor in Hudson Hall. Mailboxes should be checked at least once daily. The campus courier will deliver all packages to all offices on a daily basis. Outgoing mail should be left in the Mailroom prior to 2:00 p.m. to ensure it processes that day. All mail received by the mailroom after 2:00 p.m. will be processed in the next business day. Staff members may not use these facilities for either the receipt or sending of personal mail. There is a U.S. Postal Box on the loading dock outside the Mailroom for personal mail.

MOTOR VEHICLE USAGE PROCEDURES

The College has explicit written procedures to be followed when using a College motor vehicle. The procedures also cover reporting an accident, related costs of a trip, use of a credit card, traffic infractions, mechanical breakdowns, and driver's license requirements. A complete copy of the procedures is available by calling or visiting the Security Office between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm, business days. The phone number of the Security Office is 431-8070.

PARKING

Most of parking lot A and all of lot B and lot C have been reserved for staff members. Lots D and E are open to students, staff persons, and visitors. New faculty members and administrators should obtain parking permits as soon as possible from the Security Office located in Room 114 of the Student Service Center. The Security Office is open 24 hours per day. Professional staff or students requiring medical permits should apply at their City, Town or Village Clerk’s office. Staff members having more than one car should obtain an additional permit for each additional vehicle they may be using during the year. Temporary permits are available for additional vehicles which are to be used for very brief periods.

PHOTO-IDENTIFICATION

The College requires all full-time and part-time staff and faculty members to carry a current photo-identification card with them. ID cards can be obtained at the Security office in the Student Services Center. The photo ID window is open Monday through Thursday, 8am to 7pm, and Friday, 8am to 4pm during the spring and fall semesters. Summer hours for photo ID’s vary. This card is necessary to use the Library and other college services.

POSTING GRADES

Posting of student grades is illegal under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (the Buckley Amendment). The Registrar's Office issues grades promptly; however, faculty may tell any individual student what grade he/she received if one chooses to do so. The grades may not under any conditions be posted or released to anyone other than the student.

PRINTING AND DUPLICATION WORK

All off-campus printing must be approved by the Director of Communications and Public Relations if the work is to be paid for by the College. Duplication work done in the mailroom is charged back to the department, program or office requesting the work. Departmental Chair approval, if needed, is to be obtained before submittal of work requests. The following information must be provided on the Office Services Work Order:

1. Department, program or office to be charged 2. Account number to be charged 3. Submission date and due date 4. Number of originals and number of copies 5. Name of person requesting the work

There is a two day turnaround time on printing requests. The preferred method to have your request printed is to email it to [email protected] in a PDF file with the above information.

RECYCLING The campus has participated in a recycling program for paper, cardboard and glass for a number of years. This program has not only been good for the environment, but has also saved the College money in refuse removal.

Each office has been provided with a blue recycle container for this purpose. Larger bins are also available from the Housekeeping Department if required. All faculty and staff are requested to cooperate in this effort.

RESEARCH USING DCC STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES The Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Dutchess Community College (DCC) is responsible for protecting the rights and welfare of human research subjects. The IRB has oversight over all research activities at DCC involving students and employees, EXCEPT in cases of typical educational activities, pedagogical inquiries, and assessment efforts needed for internal purposes. IRB approval must be secured before beginning any research activities.

For information, please visit: https://www.sunydutchess.edu/aboutdcc/institutionalresearch/irb.html

RESERVING A ROOM

All College organizations or individuals wishing to reserve space on campus must complete an Event Request Form or an Academic Event Form for each event they wish to hold. Reservations are required to reserve a room, a lobby and even an outdoor venue. Events cannot be scheduled until the appropriate form is submitted. Telephone and email reservations cannot be processed. The completed Event Request form should be submitted to [email protected] and the Academic Event Form should be submitted to [email protected] , at least six (6) weekdays prior to the proposed activity. Event Request Forms or Academic Event Forms are available from the Office of Scheduling and from all department secretaries. The Event Request Forms or Academic Event Forms are also available on the myDCC home page under Quick Links.

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. Uniformed security guards are on duty, making continuous tours of the campus and all buildings 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Staff members wishing to enter buildings at times when the College is normally closed should contact the Security Office (ext. 8070 or 431-8070) located in the Student Service Center. Staff cooperation in providing proper identification is requested.

ESCORT SERVICE - When needed and if staffing is available, the Office of Safety and Security will provide an escort or mobile transport to students, staff members, or visitors on the main campus in cases of disability, illness, injury, or if there is a reasonable concern for personal safety. To utilize this service, call the Security Office at 845-431-8070. Escorts are generally limited to a single requesting person.

Please note that Security does not have the ability to take reservations or calls in advance for an escort. In rare occasions, Security staff may be engaged in other calls for service, which could delay an escort or transport from being granted at the time of the request.

PERSONAL PROPERTY – Record serial numbers of electronics, or mark personal belongings so they are identifiable in case of theft. Take pictures of valuable jewelry. Always secure items in an area out of view of others. If securing items in your car, the safest place is the trunk or a locked luggage compartment.

PREVENT CRIME – Do not leave personal items unsecured and unattended. Secure your property to prevent theft or vehicle damage from someone breaking in to steal something left in plain view!

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. Matthew Palmateir 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.

An item that has to be shipped must be dropped off at the North Annex or brought to the mail room. If the package is large and you would like it picked up, a facilities work order should be completed. 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.).

SMOKE- AND TOBACCO- FREE CAMPUS Dutchess Community College is a completely smoke- and tobacco-free environment. The ban includes cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, pipes, vaping, snus, dip and all related products. Use of these products is prohibited on all college property.

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 Chair and the supervising Dean if they are to be paid from the subscription expense account. The College can only subscribe to institutional memberships.
