IMPROVEMENT OF INSTRUCTION POLICY AND PROCEDURE
PURPOSE:
The primary purpose of Professional Development Projects is the improvement of instruction through projects outside the normal course development activities regularly engaged in by faculty. These may include such activities as the production of videotapes, multimedia presentations, computer simulations, self-paced tutorials, instructional manuals, or other course materials for department use; development of faculty seminars which may include the use of outside scholars or consultants; or participation in off-campus workshops or credit-free courses which bear directly upon instruction and course content.
CRITERIA:
While it is almost impossible to define with great detail the kinds of applications which are appropriate, some general examples might be helpful. Projects such as the creation of supplementary materials to be used by multiple instructors in all sections of a course, or the development of extensive materials for alternate modes of instruction are eligible, while activities such as regular course revision and the development of routine support materials are not eligible for funding. Off-campus seminar or conference fees and expenses are eligible for support, with those activities which relate most directly to the improvement of instruction having top priority. A similar test will apply to on-campus seminars or group activities involving outside consultants or speakers. Attach a descriptive brochure or announcement to all applications for participation in seminars, workshops, credit-free short courses and similar activities.
ELIGIBILITY:
All full-time members of the professional staff are eligible to apply for Improvement of Instruction awards.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Applications must be approved by the Department Head and should be forwarded to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs by the announced deadline. For joint projects, submit one application identifying the co-applicants; the first name listed will be considered the contact person for the grant.
DCC MINIGRANT PURPOSE AND PROCEDURE
The purpose of the DCC Foundation Mini-Grant Program is to encourage innovative activities
or projects by individuals or groups of the professional staff that will have a significant impact
on students and college life. One mini-grant for professional staff development will receive
the special designation of C. B. Schmidt Mini-Grant Award. All applications will be
considered for funding, but preference will be given to projects that address one of the two
college objectives for the coming academic year.
Guidelines:
1. The maximum award for any application or single project is $3,500 per year.
2. Purchased equipment will become the property of the College.
Application Procedures:
1. Obtain an application from your department head or from the Office of Academic Affairs. Applications are also available on the DCC web site at Academics, Documents.
2. On item 6, indicate if your project meets one or more of the following criteria for the C. B. Schmidt designation, to support anticipated contributions to the development of the DCC professional staff:
❑ Assistance to individuals or interested groups, for on-campus projects or programs related to under-served groups
❑ Assistance for a program or project which would involve the entire staff or part of it, such as full-time faculty, NTE staff or adjunct faculty
❑ Research proposals which may yield significant results for the College
❑ Assistance to individuals for graduate study or other appropriate work
TUITION REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
The following guidelines govern the administration of the tuition reimbursement policy covered by section 5.3 of the latest Negotiated Agreement.
1. Priority I applicants include the following:
a. Teaching educators on continuing or term appointments who are taking graduate
credits to satisfy promotion and tenure requirements.
b. Non-teaching educators.
c. Educators directed by the Academic Dean to pursue studies to meet a specific
college need.
d. Educators on sabbatical leave doing graduate work.
2. Priority II applicants include the following:
a. Full Professors pursuing graduate study to enhance their professional
development. 75% initial support, full balance if available.
3. Priority III applicants include the following:
a. Temporary full-time faculty. 60% initial support, full balance if available.
4. The Dean of Academic Affairs may approve partial grants even to Priority I applicants in order to have funds available for the full academic year.
5. The Dean of Academic Affairs may approve lesser grants or no grants for Priority II and III applicants should the Dean judge that Priority I applicants require all available funding.
6. Applicants should apply in September for funds for the entire academic year including the following summer. Approval to apply at a later date may be given by the Dean of Academic Affairs.
7. The total reimbursement from a combination of SUNY Tuition Waiver and DCC Tuition Reimbursement may not exceed $1400 per professional staff member in the 2008-2009 academic year.
7/2002
BOOK and TRAVEL ALLOWANCE POLICY
The following guidelines govern the reimbursement of the cost of job-related books, journals, computer hardware/software, professional travel, membership in professional organizations and subscriptions (refer to section 5.2 of the Agreement between Dutchess Community College and Dutchess United Educators).
1. The job-related professional books, journals, computer hardware/software become the property of the professional staff member.
2. The contractual limit of reimbursement to an educator in a single college academic/fiscal year is $350. Educators may choose to combine funds from a fixed two-year cycle providing the educator is eligible to do so.
Pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement between DCC and the Dutchess United Educators, DUE members shall be advanced a book allowance for the 2008-09 academic year subject to recoupment or adjustment as may be required for the purpose of administering any newly negotiated terms in the successor to the 2004-08 Collective Bargaining agreement.
3. Book allowance reimbursement shall be made by the Dean of Administration or his designee under the following conditions:
a. A completed Professional Book Reimbursement Request form listing the professional books and/or journals by title and author and/or computer software/hardware amount is submitted. The form must be signed by the staff member and the Department Head, whose approval affirms that purchases are job-related.
b. 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, is attached to the request form.
c. The completed and signed Professional Book Reimbursement Request, with a compete set of receipts, is submitted to the supervising Dean, who will approve and forward it to the Business Office not later than September 1st of the following year.
4. Reimbursement for professional travel will follow the same procedures as the Conference Attendance Policy on the following page.
7/2008
CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE POLICY
Conference attendance reimbursement shall be made by the Dean of Administration or his designee under the following conditions:
1. Prepare a Travel Request and Requisition Form and obtain all required approvals for the travel. If desired, request an 80% advance for the trip. Otherwise, indicate “No Advance”.
2. The form must clearly show the account number to which the travel will be charged, and the purpose of the travel.
3. The traveler should make his or her own arrangements for conference registration, transportation and lodging. The 80% advance may be used toward these expenses.
4. Upon returning from the trip, the traveler must complete the after travel section itemizing the actual expenses incurred. All receipts must be attached. The form must be signed by the staff member and the Department Head, whose approval affirms that the travel is job-related. A check for the Net Due the traveler (the difference between total actual expenses and advance received) will be issued. If the total actual expenses incurred are less than the advance received by the traveler, the difference that is due to the College must be submitted upon returning from the trip.
5. Submit the complete set of receipts and the completed and signed pink copy of the Travel Request and Requisition Form to the supervising Dean within 45 days of last travel date, who will approve and forward it to the Business Office not later than
August 31 of the following year.
6. Funds for conference attendance are allocated to an individual and may not be transferred or shared. Also, funds may not be carried over from year to year. However, two years of funds from the Book and Travel Allowance may be used.
8/2004
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
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 judgment 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.
7/99
CLASS CANCELLATION PROCESS
The Instructional Media Department has the responsibility to post the daily cancellations promptly and accurately, but can do so only if the established procedures for canceling classes are carefully followed. Depending on the time of day, you should call as follows:
Between 7:30 AM and 9 PM Monday through Friday, call 431-8940 and give the information to Instructional Media Department staff.
Between 9 PM and 7:30 AM, you must call 431-8679. Listen carefully to the prompts and respond to all the questions asked by the voice mail interview box.
Please do not call any other voice mailbox to report your class cancellation.
Please be prepared with the specific information before you call to cancel class. When you call the voice mail interview box, you must be ready to respond as you will not have time to look for the information after you have started the call. You should keep a copy of your class schedule with all of the required information at home in case you have to cancel individual classes. Upon calling the interview box, you will hear the following pre-recorded instructions:
"To cancel your classes, please listen closely to the following nine (9) questions and record your responses at the beep. It is extremely important to answer all the questions in order to have this cancellation properly documented.
1. Please state your name.
2. State the day and date of cancellation.
3. Are you canceling all of your day and evening classes? State only: Yes or No.
4. If you have an evening class, you must now indicate the course and section, time the
class normally starts, and room in which it is held; otherwise, state: No evening classes.
5. If you are not canceling all your classes, you must indicate the course and section, time the class normally starts and room in which it is held. State: The following class(es) only are canceled (and state the class(es); otherwise, make no response).
6. If any of your classes are taught at DCC South, please indicate the class section now;
(otherwise, state: None at DCC South).
7. If any of your classes are taught at an off-campus location other than DCC South, please
indicate the class section now (otherwise, make no response).
8. State the time that your last class of the day normally starts.
9. State the reason you are canceling classes.”
This information will be recorded and placed on the DCC-TV campus message channel, the recorded information line (431-8001), and Class Cancellations on the DCC website.
Instructors are also encouraged to record special instructions to students in the personal greeting of their own Voice Mailboxes. 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. Your cooperation is appreciated.
EXTENDED COURSE OUTLINES (EXO)
The Extended Course Outline is the primary vehicle for describing each credit bearing course offered at Dutchess Community College. It forms the basis for a contract among the student, the program or department, and the college by identifying the basic components of the course. The course description should be a clear and understandable abstract and will be published in the college catalog, and/or schedule of classes, and/or addenda. The Student Learning Outcomes included in the EXO are the basis for course assessment activities and should describe, in terms that can be measured, what a student will know or be able to do by the end of the course. Whenever a course is revised or updated, it is the Extended Course Outline that documents the changes.
The Extended Course Outline should not be confused with the syllabus. While the EXO contains the basic components of the course required to be taught by all instructors, the syllabus describes how the individual instructor will implement that outline through specific assignments. Faculty will distribute syllabi to their individual classes that may include specific information such as contact data (office location, office hours, email, phone), daily / weekly topics, assignments, test dates, grading standards, and other statements concerning the conduct of the course as required by the individual instructor. All syllabi should include the course description and objectives that match those in the Extended Course Outline.
Comprehensive Guidelines for Extended Course Outlines have been developed and approved by the Curriculum Committee. They can be found in the Curriculum Committee Handbook and in the portal at myDCC.sunydutchess.edu/Working@DCC/documents. Please refer to that document for information when completing an Extended Course Outline.
FAQ’s about EXO’s:
1. When is an EXO required?
An EXO is initially required when a new course is proposed. For any existing course, an EXO must be completed whenever changes are made to a course title, description, co- or pre-requisites, the textbook or whenever a course is substantially revised. Extended Course Outlines must be reviewed and updated at least every three (3) years.
2. Who gets a copy of the revised EXO?
An electronic file copy along with a signed hardcopy of the signed Extended Course Outline for each course offered by the College must be on file in the Office of Assessment and Curriculum. Each academic department should also maintain a file of its current Extended Course Outlines.
3. Can I use the EXO as a syllabus?
The EXO can be distributed to students if an instructor chooses to do so. However, since the EXO is a generic course document, a cover sheet should be included that includes class specific information such as contact data(office location, office hours, email, phone), daily / weekly topics, assignments, test dates, grading standards, and other statements concerning the conduct of the course as required by the individual instructor
GRADE APPEAL PROCESS
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, this step is for the student to meet with the instructor to resolve the concern in an informal manner.
Formal Appeal Process
Introduction
It is the responsibility of Dutchess Community College faculty members to establish clear grading policies and standards for academic performance in their courses. These policies must be stated in writing. Individual approaches to grading are valid, as long as faculty members evaluate student work fairly and consistently, there should be no need for students to challenge their grading.
Grounds for Formal Appeal
Students may appeal grades in DCC courses on the following grounds, provided that they have evidence, or believe that evidence exists, to support their claims:
A. Failure by the instructor to explain clearly the method by which grades in the course would be determined.
B. Assignment of a course grade by substantial departure from the announced method.
C. Capricious or prejudiced grading.
Step 1
To initiate a formal appeal, the student must obtain a Grade Appeal Form from the academic department secretary, The Office of Student Services, or the Office of Academic Affairs. 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 Departmental Supervisor, that person should refer the student to the instructor as the first step in the process. Under extraordinary circumstances, 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 and rationale in writing to both the student and the instructor within fourteen days of meeting with the student and the instructor.
Step 3
If the decision of the Department Head does not result in a satisfactory resolution, the student or instructor 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 its decision and rationale in writing to the student, the Department Head and the instructor normally within fourteen days of the Committee meeting. A copy of the Academic Review Committee’s decision and rationale will also be sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Step 4
If the student or instructor 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 or instructor.
The Dean will report his/her decision and rationale in writing to the student, the Department Head, the instructor, and the members of the Academic Review Committee.

To search the databases from home, first logon to myDCC. Under the “Library” tab use the “Off Campus Database Access” link to reach the databases. For assistance in using this system from home, contact the Library’s reference department at 431-8634.
Interlibrary Loan
As a member of the Southeastern New York Library Resources Council, the Library offers interlibrary loan service, which permits the borrowing of items in other libraries’ collections. Current faculty, staff and DCC students enrolled in credit-bearing coursework are eligible to use this service. Items may take some time to arrive, so planning ahead is important. The library loaning the item determines the loan period, which may differ from our two-week borrowing period. Requests for interlibrary loan items should be directed to Christine Craig at 431-8636.
Information Literacy
Information literacy programs to acquaint students with the Library’s resources and services are provided upon the request of instructors. Programs can be scheduled for evening as well as for day classes and can be given either at the main or DCC South campus. Offerings include:

Eligibility for services requires documentation from a physician or a qualified licensed professional.
Available services include, but are not limited to:
• testing and classroom accommodations
• notetakers / scribes
• interpreters
• student advocacy
• counseling
• liaison with outside agencies such as VESID and local high schools

• The Office of Disability Services will provide out-of-class testing accommodations for students who have provided us with documentation of their disability.
• The Office of Disability Services strives to maintain a testing policy that is nondiscriminatory and assures the integrity of the examination process.
1. Students are responsible for arranging for their testing through the Office of Disability Services at least (3) business days in advance of the test. To arrange for a test, you must complete the blue “Sign Up Sheet for Alternative Testing”. It is not the faculty’s responsibility to register a student for testing with our office.
2. Testing accommodations are available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. This Office requests that for students taking evening classes faculty make the accommodation.
3. Students who come to Disability Services to complete an exam for which they have not signed up for or for which they are late, may be sent back to the classroom.
4. In the event of a surprise quiz, our Office will do its best to accommodate your needs. When space or a proctor is not available, you will be sent back to the classroom to make alternative arrangements with your instructor.
5. If you need accommodations other then extended time (i.e. reader, scribe, computer etc.) to assist you during your test, you must indicate your needs when you sign up.
6. Each student will be responsible for making arrangements to pick up the test before it is given or have the faculty member deliver the test to us. Disability Services staff are not responsible for calling faculty members to make arrangements.
7. If there are special instructions, modifications or exceptions to a particular test, these must be indicated on the gold “Exam Proctoring Form” which you must have completed for each test.
8. If you have any questions during your test, you should ask a Disability Services staff member and not other students or the proctor. If a staff member is unable to assist you, you may be allowed to call a faculty member.
9. The amount of extra time a student receives for testing is individually determined based upon the documentation of their disability.
10. A student is not allowed to leave the test site without permission of the proctor or staff member. A student may not leave the test site to return at a later time, nor will the student be allowed to start a test one day and complete it the next day.
11. Students using computers will use stand alone computers that have no networking ability. You are not permitted to bring your own disk, if necessary this office will supply clean, blank disks.

Faculty members may schedule field trips at their own discretion. Each faculty member is, however, responsible for making all the arrangements necessary to make the trip a worthwhile educational experience.
The Academic Dean’s Office should be informed of all field trips at least two weeks in advance and should be supplied with a list of students involved. The Request for Approval of Field Trip form must be submitted for approval of the Dean of Academic Affairs at least two weeks prior to the date of the trip. Copies of approved field trip requests will be automatically forwarded to the Director of Scheduling so that the necessary notice concerning students being excused from classes can be included in The College Bulletin. In order to minimize class conflicts, faculty members should not generally plan more than one field trip a semester, outside of normal class meeting times, for a given class. Field trips are not to be scheduled during the week when mid-term grades are due or during the fourteenth or fifteenth week of the semester. Field trips cannot be a course requirement unless scheduled prior to grades being submitted.
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.

MAIL SERVICE
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.
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.
PARKING
Most of parking lot A and all of lot B have been reserved for staff members. Staff areas are indicated by red markings on the College signs. 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 Student Service Center. Professional staff requiring medical permits should apply to the Security Office. 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.
PHOTO-IDENTIFICATION
The College requires all full-time and part-time staff members to carry a current photo-identification card with them. Professional staff members must obtain a new SUNYCARD. This card is necessary to use the Library and other college services.
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.
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 Work Order:
1. Department, program or office to be charged
2. Account number to be charged
3. Submission date and due date
4. Number of originals and number of copies
5. Name of person requesting the work
RECYCLING
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.
RESEARCH USING DCC STUDENTS
Research conducted by faculty, staff, or administration of the College as well as any outside researcher utilizing Dutchess Community College students directly as subjects should be first reviewed by the Director of Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment and must be approved by the College Environment Committee.
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 Microsoft WORD file from the Scheduling Office. (Complete the form and send it to Allison Miller via e-mail.)
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 Student Service Center. Staff cooperation in providing proper identification is requested.
ESCORT SERVICE - Especially after dark. Call ext. 8070; give your name, location, and calling number.
PERSONAL PROPERTY - Mark and secure all property in your car (books, stereo, radar or other equipment, etc.). The safest place is a locked luggage compartment.
PREVENT CRIME - Secure your property before it is stolen or your vehicle damaged!
SHIPPING AND RECEIVING
All shipping and receiving activities, with the exception of the US Mail are handled by 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.
An item that has to be shipped must be dropped off at the North Annex or brought to the mail room. If the package is large, a work order can be sent () 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.).
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. Subscriptions that do not have prior approval will be charged to an individual's book allowance expense account.
