52 BOOK ALLOWANCE AND CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE POLICY

The following guidelines govern the administration of the reimbursement of the cost of books, journals and subscriptions of a job-related nature.

1. The job-related professional books, journals, computer software/hardware become the property of the professional staff member.

2. No professional staff member shall receive more than the contractual limit in reimbursement in a single college academic/fiscal year.

53 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.

54 ATTENDANCE AT DCC CREDIT-FREE COURSES

[includes Ed2Go 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 judgement of the appropriate Department Head 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 Head 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.

55 CLASS CANCELLATION PROCESS

1. When you call to cancel class, you will be asked to give information 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 the 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., 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) Between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday

 If you are calling on the same night as the class that you are cancelling, please call Instructional Media at 431-8940.

 If you are calling in a cancellation for a class that meets the next night or later, please call 431-8679 and respond to the questions asked by the voice mail interview box.

d) After 9:00 p.m., 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.

3. 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.

4. Students should call the class cancellation number (431-8001), or visit the DCC Website.

8/2000

56 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.

57 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.

Revised 7/27/98

58 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.

61 LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

The DCC Library is a vital educational resource center dedicated to providing cost-effective service to our diverse college community, and support for the instructional and research needs of our students, faculty, and staff. Housed in a centrally-located three-story facility, the library provides ample study areas and a wide variety of electronic and printed resources. Our collection of over 90,000 books and over 3,000 periodical titles supports the instructional programs offered by the College.

BORROWING BOOKS

Be certain to bring your SUNYCard if you plan to borrow books. Books are normally circulated for a two week period. If you need to keep the book longer, please renew it. Although faculty and staff are neither sent overdue notices nor charged for fines, materials overdue are subject to immediate recall if needed by another patron. At the end of the Spring semester, the library will send you a reminder to return or renew books signed out to you.

ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

To assist the DCC community in meeting their research needs, the library subscribes to over 500 information databases.

63 LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES continued

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:

Department Faculty Liaison Librarian Liaison AHBS Joan Mazza Alice McGovern BHS Grace Austin Evelyn Rosenthal BUS Gerry Hamel Barbara Liesenbein ENACT Phil Marsh Barbara Liesenbein TBA ENG Dave Barton Ron Crovisier HPEAD Sue Kennen Alice McGovern HGE George Stevens Evelyn Rosenthal MPCS Larry Johnson Evelyn Rosenthal NUR Barbara Kaelber Alice McGovern PVAC Camilo Rojas Tom Trinchera

Weeding of the Library Collection Faculty liaisons will also be coordinating department members' participation in the ongoing weeding of our collections. If you would like to be included in this important project, please contact your faculty liaison.

Library Instruction Librarian liaisons are pleased to provide one-on-one assistance with library software programs or other research needs. In many cases, software training can be done right in your office. Please phone your librarian liaison directly to schedule an appointment.
