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.

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.

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 canceling 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 displayed on DCC-TV,
included in the class cancellation recording, and posted on the Daily Campus Notices on
the college’s web site.
b)
Between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, please call Instructional
Media at 431-8940 and give the information to them.
c)
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 displayed on DCC-TV,
included in the class cancellation recording, and posted on the Daily Campus Notices on
the college’s web site.
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.
8/2001
39
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.
40
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.

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.
42
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
Office of Community Relations and Graphics.
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.

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 Hudson Hall with an entrance on the third floor, 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. Since adjunct faculty members’
library privileges are extended only during semesters in which they are under contract, library
books must be returned at the end of each semester.
ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
To assist the DCC community in research, the library subscribes to a variety of database services.
While some of the databases are indices providing only citation information, the majority contain
the full text of articles appearing in magazines and newspapers. The library also subscribes to
specialized databanks and e-books covering the areas of art, literature, history and the sciences.
These services can be searched from any computer on campus, including DCC South, equipped
with an Internet browser. Access to the library’s electronic resources is through the library's
homepage at http://www.sunydutchess.edu/library/ under the “Research Tools” link.
Those who have Internet accounts can search many of these databases from home. For
information on how to use the library's Off-Campus Databases Access service, contact the
reference department at extension 8634.
REFERENCE SERVICES
The library’s reference department provides DCC faculty and staff with assistance in all aspects
of research. The reference staff can perform in-depth searches of the literature for faculty, as well
as provide one-on-one training in using the library’s resources. Reference services are available
whenever the library is open. Besides stopping by the library, you may also contact the reference
staff at extension 8634. Brief factual questions can be submitted electronically by sending email
to refdesk@sunydutchess.edu.

LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES continued
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 Pat Sheehan at extension 8631. 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
Faculty are encouraged to make arrangements for their students to receive information literacy
training through the library. Types of training provided include general workshops on the
library's services and resources, discipline-specific orientations to information access tools and
all aspects of Internet research. To schedule a workshop for your students, contact the reference
staff at extension 8634. If you plan to bring a class to the library to use the reference area or for
a tour, contact the reference staff to ensure that another class is not already scheduled to use the
facilities.
INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES
If a book or article cannot be found in our library, it may be available from another library
through interlibrary loan. This service is available to all current staff and faculty. Requests can
be made by contacting the Interlibrary Loan Clerk at extension 8636. Copies of articles may
either be picked up at the library or mailed to faculty and staff. Books must be picked up at the
circulation desk located just inside the main entrance of the library. Faculty may note that this
service is also available to current students. Students may contact the reference librarian to
complete a request form.

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:

SMART CLASSROOMS
A Smart Classroom is a room that is equipped with a variety of media, augmented with
computer intelligence, which makes it possible for the instructor to present material in diverse,
technology-enhanced ways.
The four different classes of Smart Classrooms are as follows:
CLASS 1
Creston control system
This equipment is the “brains” of the room and takes the guesswork out of operating the
other equipment. Without it, the equipment must be operated manually.
PC, data projector, sound system (mounted speakers), microphone
Visualizer
The visualizer projects anything you put under the camera (e.g., overhead foil, text) onto
the screen.
The VCR acts as a TV tuner. Video is projected through the data projector onto the screen.
CLASS 2
PC, data projector, sound system (mounted speakers)
Visualizer (only in those rooms that have a console)
The visualizer projects anything you put under the camera (e.g., overhead foil, text) onto
the screen.
The VCR acts as a TV tuner. Video is projected through the data projector onto the screen.
CLASS 3
PC and data projector
VCR and TV are separate units of equipment, which do not operate through the data projector.
CLASS 4
Data projector and interface
No PC is provided. Instructor uses interface to connect a laptop to the data projector.
FACULTY WISHING TO USE SMART CLASSROOMS MUST ATTEND A TRAINING SESSION. FACULTY WILL
NOT BE GIVEN ACCESS KEYS TO SMART CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT, IF THEY HAVE NOT ATTENDED A
TRAINING SESSION. SEE NEXT PAGE FOR LISTING OF SPECIFIC SMART CLASSROOMS.

College mail is generally distributed shortly after the morning delivery. Small packages
will be held in the mailroom for pickup, and a notice will be placed in the box of the addressee.
Large, bulky items will be delivered in the afternoon by the college driver to either the
department or the individual's office. Mailboxes should be checked at least once daily. Outgoing
mail should be left in the Mailroom prior to 2:00 p.m. each 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. Stamps can be purchased in the
Bookstore.
PRINTING AND DUPLICATION WORK
All off-campus printing must be approved by the Director of Community Relations and
Graphics 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 Head approval, if needed, is to be obtained before
submittal of work requests. The following information must be provided on the Office Services

RECYCLING OF PAPER
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 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.
62
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 Head and the supervising
Dean if they are to be paid from the subscription expense account (#5207). Subscriptions that do
not have prior approval will be charged to an individual's book allowance expense account
(#5230).
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.
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.
Whenever the College is closed and its maintenance staff is not working, uniformed security
guards are on duty, making a continuous tour of the campus and all buildings.
Staff members wishing to enter buildings at times when the College is normally closed
should check in at the Security Office located in the South Annex Building. Staff cooperation in
providing proper identification is requested.

the Shipping, Receiving and Warehousing Department located in the North Annex. Michael
Sheehan 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.
The yellow receiving copies are forwarded by Purchasing to the Receiving department for

in a packing envelope to the person who placed the order when the order comes in. If an order is
incomplete, a copy will be delivered with the partial delivery.
To ship an item, it needs to be either dropped off at the North Annex or brought to the
mail room. If the package is large, a work order can be sent in
(http://www.sunydutchess.edu.workorder) and it will be picked up. 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.).
67
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 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. 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.
NOTE: See instructions to operate an extinguisher on the next page.
