CLASS CANCELLATION PROCESS

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. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and between 7:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, please call Instructional Media at 431-8940 and give the information to them.

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

3. In addition, faculty are reminded that if they cancel an evening class after 2:00 p.m. on the day of the class, the College will not telephone the students in the class to notify them of the cancellation. 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. Students should call the class cancellation number (431-8001) to find out which instructors have cancelled their class(es).


CANCELLED CLASS INFORMATION FORM

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.

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.

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 Academic Department Head or the Summer 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.

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.

Our collection of nearly 100,000 books and 717 periodical titles supports the instructional programs offered by the College.

BORROWING BOOKSBe 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.

LIBRARY LIAISON PROGRAMThe 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.

LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES continued

GENERAL INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR NEW AND RETURNING STAFF MEMBERS

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Each Monday when the College is in regular session, a weekly "Schedule of Events" is prepared by the Office of Scheduling and distributed through the Mailroom. The "Schedule of Events" constitutes the principal means of campus-wide communication and includes information, instructions, and reminders on activities, organization meetings, and many other aspects of the College's programs. 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, 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.)

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, and Dutchess Hall.

The Kiosk system will be completely redesigned in 97-98.

DUTCHESS ARCHIVAL TEXT SYSTEM ("DATS")

Important campus text files and forms are stored on the local area network and may be accessed by typing LOGIN DATS at the network login prompt. The DATS system allows you to search for a key word or phrase, generate a list of the document(s) containing that phrase, and view the document(s).
