SUNY Tuition Waiver, and DCC Credit-Free Tuition Waiver may not exceed $1000 per
professional staff member in a single academic year.
35
BOOK ALLOWANCE AND CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE POLICY

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.
3. Book allowance reimbursement shall be made by the Dean of Administration or his designee
under the following conditions:
a. Presentation of proof of payment which shall consist of either a paid receipt(s) identifying
books/journals/computer software/hardware or a photocopy of both sides of a cancelled check for these
expenses accompanied by an invoice identifying these expenses.
b. A completed Professional Book Reimbursement Request listing the professional books and/or journals
by title and author and/or computer software/hardware amount signed by the staff member, the

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.
7/98
37
ATTENDANCE AT CREDIT-FREE 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.
7/99
38
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.
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:
3.
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.
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).

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 preor 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.
41
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.
42
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.

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 nearly 100,000 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. These services can be used from any computer on
campus (or at DCC South) equipped with an Internet browser. Access is through the
library's Electronic Resources page at http://www.sunydutchess.edu/library/elres.htm.
Database services linked from this page are:

Full-Text Express: Databases containing the full-text of articles published in over 3,000
scholarly and popular periodicals, as well as major national and regional newspapers

COURSE RESERVES
Many, though not all, course texts are available on reserve in the Library. A valid
SUNYCard is required to use reserve items. Generally, texts are available for any course
in which the enrollment is at least one hundred. Brief records for all reserve items,
including textbooks and articles are now included in the Winnebago catalog. If you wish
to peruse the items available for a particular course, enter the course designation as a
search term. To ascertain what items you have on reserve, enter your last name, press the
down arrow key, and enter the course designation.
If you wish to place items on reserve, please complete a "Request for Materials to Be
Placed on Library Reserve". Forms are available from Bridget Bittle at extension 8632.
Reserves are processed as quickly as possible. However, please allow a minimum of 24
hours between the time the library receives the request and the time you announce it in
class.
All items on reserve must comply with copyright regulations. If you have any questions
regarding compliance, please contact Pat Sheehan, Head of Circulation (extension 8631)
for assistance. Responsibility for copyright clearance rests with the faculty member.
LIBRARY INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS

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:
