A Cancelled Class Information Form is used to record all the information necessary to inform students about cancelled classes. A copy of this form is on the next page of the Academic Year Handbook. When you call:

1. You will be asked to give the information called for on this form as follows:

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

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

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

a) Before 7:30 a.m. and after 7:00 p.m., the switchboard is not open, and you must call 431-8679. Listen carefully to the prompts and respond to all the questions asked by the voice mail interview box. When the telephone operator arrives, she will relay the messages to Instructional Media to be run on the message channel and to be placed on the class cancellation phone announcement.

b) Between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, please call Instructional Media at 431-8940 and give the information to them.

c) After business hours, call 431-8679 and follow instructions in (a) above.

The College will phone students only if an evening class is cancelled prior to 2:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting.

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

50 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

CANCELLED CLASS INFORMATION FORM

51 INFORMATION ON PREPARATION OF COURSE SUMMARIES

1. The course description in the catalog is a contractual statement.

2. The course summary is an expansion of that description. It describes in greater detail the objectives, skills, competencies and detail of the course. It is this document which: a. Is used in developing articulation agreements. b. Is sent to colleges for evaluation of transfer credit for individual students. c. Informs all faculty of the topics to be covered and the objectives to be met in the course. d. Serves as a method of quality assurance in multiple section courses and from instructor to instructor between semesters and years.

3. Procedure: a. Course summaries must be updated every three years, or whenever a course is substantially revised, the course description, credits, title or pre- or co- requisites have changed, or a new text is selected.

b. Faculty may distribute to their individual classes, course outlines that supply particular data such as daily/weekly topics, assignments, test dates, etc., but should include the course description and objectives from the course summary and the grading policy.

c. Course summaries should be submitted for typing in proper format to the Word Processing Center.

d. A summary must be proofread before it is submitted to the Office of Curriculum and Instruction. This is a departmental responsibility.

e. Two copies of the course summary should be forwarded by the department secretary to the Office of Curriculum and Instruction.

f. A copy of each summary should be filed in the Department's white notebook.

g. Additional copies should be kept in the department files.

52 GRADE APPEAL POLICY

1. Informal Appeal Process

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

2. Formal Appeal Process

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

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

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

53 GRADE APPEAL POLICY continued

Step 3

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

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

Step 4

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

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

58 LIBRARY LIAISON PROGRAM

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

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

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

The "Schedule of Events" can be viewed on the computer kiosks which are located in the lobbies of Dutchess Hall, Bowne Hall, Library, DCC South, Taconic Hall (2nd floor), and Hudson Hall (Creek Road and 5th floor). Some items from the "Schedule of Events" are also displayed over the College's closed circuit TV system at times when other programs are not scheduled.

Announcements to be included in each Monday's "Schedule of Events" must be received by the Office of Scheduling by 12:00 noon of the preceding Thursday. Special forms are available in the Student Activities Office in Dutchess Hall, or in the Office of Scheduling, Bowne Hall, for the use of all staff and students with announcements for the "Schedule of Events." The form for submitting "Schedule of Events" announcements is also available on a WordPerfect file from the Scheduling Office. (Complete the form and send it to MOORE via e- mail.)

RESERVING A ROOM

All College organizations or individuals wishing to reserve a room must complete a Facility Request Form for each event they wish to hold. The completed form should be submitted to the Office of Scheduling in Bowne Hall at least six (6) weekdays prior to the proposed activity. Facility Request Forms are available from the Office of Scheduling and from all department secretaries. The Facility Request Form is also available on a WordPerfect file from the Scheduling Office. (Complete the form and send it to AMILLER via e-mail.)

64 COMPUTER SUPPORT

Information Systems at DCC cover both academic and administrative computing. Faculty, staff and students have different modes of computer processing available to them: simulated mainframe, mini and micro-computers.

IBM RS/6000 computers are located in CBI (Center for Business & Industry) providing instructional and administrative support. Labs in CBI have micro-computers operating in either stand-alone, network or terminal modes. Also in CBI is the main optical mark scanner for test scoring. Other mark scanners are in Taconic and Hudson Halls.

Networked micro-computer labs generally available for student use are located in Hudson 212, Taconic 316, CBI 208, and in the Learning Center in Bowne 104. There are also computers off-campus at Dutchess South. Some departmental labs also have their own micro computers. Most faculty have been provided close access to micro-computers and a printer. There is a college-wide E-mail system with access to Internet E-mail.

The Computer Center is located in CBI. The staff will assist you in using the college's facilities.

Because of copyright restrictions and the threat of computer viruses, the use of software not owned by the college is discouraged. If you have any questions regarding the use or duplication of software, contact Patrick Griffin, Acting Director of Information Systems, in CBI.

ONLINE INFORMATION KIOSK

Information Kiosks are currently located in Hudson Hall (2), Taconic Hall, Bowne Hall, the Library, DCC South, and Dutchess Hall. Currently, the Schedule of Events and Problem Solving Directory are posted online, with other information of value to students and visitors to campus.

PHOTO-IDENTIFICATION

Lots D and E are open to students and staff persons. New faculty members and administrators should obtain parking permits as soon as possible from the Security Office located in the South Annex building. Professional staff requiring medical permits should apply to the Coordinator of Special Services for the Disabled in Hudson 209 from 9 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The Security Office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 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.

COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS

To insure compliance with the Copyright Law, the College must verify that any media program (audiotape, videotape, etc.) not owned by the College and not obtained for use at the College through the Instructional Media Department, was lawfully obtained prior to its use in College courses.

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.

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 by placing non-shiny paper and envelopes without windows in the blue bins for pick up. Glass bottles may be deposited in the recycle centers found around Campus.

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.
