Adjunct Handbook

Academic Year 2011-2012

 

Welcome to Indiana University Kokomo and Purdue University College of Technology Kokomo. We are pleased that you have agreed to join us as an adjunct faculty member.

 

University adjunct faculty members are an invaluable asset to our campus. They provide expertise and the practical application of knowledge that is not available in many university settings. The willingness of adjunct faculty to teach courses and laboratory classes at our campus and outreach sites ensures the continuation of our ability to deliver needed and appropriate post-secondary education programs to the residents of north central Indiana.

 

We will never be able to compensate fully for the manifold talents the adjunct faculty members bring to the educative process of our students. However, please accept our appreciation for your efforts and thank you for becoming a member of our campus family.

Academic Policies

A. Syllabus

The chairperson/director of your academic unit is responsible for providing you with the objectives of the course, the material that should be covered, and the course standards. Some courses have standardized syllabi. The department will provide you with the syllabus.

 

You are responsible for providing a comprehensive syllabus for the course. (Department secretaries may be able to type final copy – check with them for availability).  A copy of this syllabus is to be submitted to the chairperson/director three weeks prior to the beginning of the course. The syllabus should be posted to Oncourse, (ideally two weeks before classes begin) but definitely before the first class meeting. The syllabus should contain those of the following items that are appropriate for the particular course: (Purdue part-time lecturers and IU Kokomo School of Nursing adjuncts will be provided a departmental course outline).

 

•         instructor’s name, office, home, phone number(s), and campus

•         email where students can contact you directly

•         course number and title

•         course learning outcomes (see department chair or dean for a list)

•         class meeting times and location

•         office hours

•         semester and year

•         purpose, design, themes of the course

•         objectives of the course

•         readings: materials to purchase

•         materials in the Library or elsewhere

•         information on application of class attendance policy

•         teaching methods (lecture, seminar, laboratory, discussions, etc.)

•         grading system (curve, percent, weighting, policy on plus and minus grades, etc.)

•         requirements: readings

•         participation in class discussion

•         participation in simulation exercises

•         written assignments: reports, essays, research papers

•         tests/examinations: nature of (essay, multiple choice, take home, oral, etc.)

•         specific class policies, typed papers, regulations on make-up examinations and/or late papers, etc.

•         schedule of classes and specific reading assignments designate required and optional readings

•         specify material to be covered in each lecture period and on each exam/quiz

 

B. Textbooks Desk Copies

The chairperson of your academic unit has the responsibility of selecting and submitting the textbook orders to the Indiana University Kokomo bookstore. In some instances you may be consulted about the choice of textbooks; in other instances, particularly in the case of multiple section introductory courses, textbook decisions will be made by the academic unit. Please take careful note as to whether you wish to require; or are only recommending a text. Bookstore deadlines are:  Booklists should be submitted to the bookstore by March 5 for the fall semester, October 5 for the spring and summer sessions. All book orders must be approved by the department chairperson. Units may have earlier deadlines for textbook adoptions – please check with the unit secretary for details on any policies for ordering books.

 

Although the chairperson is responsible for providing you with a copy of the textbook, you are responsible for making your needs for desk copies and additional support materials known to the chairs each semester and
summer session.

 

C. Instructional Materials

Adjunct instructors are asked to submit copies of class handouts, exercises, examinations, etc., to the chairperson/director of the academic unit in order that permanent records can be maintained on each course.

 

D. Office Hours

Consultation with students is an important phase of instruction. To facilitate these meetings with students and to avoid interruption at other times, each instructor should announce at the first class meeting—and include on the syllabus—their office hours by day and time. The instructor should be on hand at these times. Check with departments and secretaries to find out about keys or other areas.

 

E. Room Assignment

Your classroom assignment is listed in the class schedule and also is posted at strategic locations in the hallways at Indiana University Kokomo during the first week of classes. If you have problems (e.g., room is too small, inappropriate for the nature of the class, another class assigned to the same room, etc.), contact your department chair or the Registrar, Kelley Student Center, Room 208, Ext. 391. Since the scheduling of classes and the assignment of classrooms is extremely complex, no changes should be made in class time or class location without prior consultation as above. This includes out of class assignments such as field trips and library activities (schedule with Library). Purdue faculty must contact the Purdue Director’s office, Ext. 375, of any room problems. Every attempt will be made to make appropriate changes.

 

Classrooms at off campus sites have been administratively arranged. Do not change to another classroom without approval.

 

F. Tobacco-Free Campus

Indiana University Kokomo is a tobacco free campus. Use of any tobacco products on the campus is prohibited anywhere on university property, including parking lots and inside vehicles. Please advise students of this policy (see the following).

 

Indiana University Kokomo

Tobacco-Free Policy

Indiana University Kokomo campus is a tobacco-free campus.  In compliance with Indiana University policy the campus provides a tobacco-free environment.  Tobacco use is prohibited both indoors and outdoors on all Indiana University Kokomo property including private cars in Indiana University Kokomo parking lots as well as university owned or leased vehicles, both on and off campus.

 

Enforcement of this policy depends upon the cooperation of all faculty, staff, and students to not only comply with but also to encourage the compliance of others in order to promote a healthy environment in which to work, study, and live.

 

Violations of this policy by faculty and staff will be referred to the employee's immediate supervisor for review and appropriate action.  Students will be referred to the Office of Student Services.  Repetitive violations will be forwarded to the appropriate Vice Chancellor who may implement progressive disciplinary procedures as detailed in the Student Code of Conduct and the appropriate Indiana University personnel policies for faculty and staff.

 

G. Room Maintenance

All chairs in classrooms should be put back in regular rows if rearranged for any purpose during a class period.

Please erase the chalkboard/whiteboard and turn off all computer equipment (e.g., overhead projector, desktop, etc.), and room lights at the end of your class unless prior arrangements with the next teacher into the room have been made.

 

H. Class Meetings and Final Examinations

IU Kokomo follows the University standard for the minimum instruction time for a three-credit class. In all cases, the usual 3-credit lecture class meets for a minimum of approximately 2000 minutes, excluding the final examination period. In most cases a 3-credit class will be scheduled for 2250 minutes plus the final examination period. The minimum instruction time may include distance education techniques as well as class meetings. Classes of varying lengths may be scheduled provided the minimum instruction time criterion is met.

 

It is Indiana University and Purdue University policy that all classes meet for the entire scheduled time at the initial class meeting, as well as at all other class meetings, including the last class meeting. Classes should not be dismissed early. If you plan to meet your class in a place other than the assigned room, you should notify your department chair, post the new room number on the door and notify the switchboard.

 

Classes scheduled for 75 minutes should not have a break. Classes (not laboratories) scheduled for longer than 90 minutes should contain a break not to exceed 15 minutes. Classes currently scheduled for 160 minutes (two hours and 45 minutes) have that 15-minute break built into the schedule.

 

A two hour final examination period is scheduled (as the 16th week of classes) for both the fall and spring semesters. A two hour final examination period is scheduled during both Summer Sessions. See the official Schedule of Classes for the time of your final examination. It is expected that final examinations will be given at the scheduled time during final examination week.

 

It is expected that all students will have purchased textbooks prior to the first class meeting. Syllabi should be posted on Oncourse two weeks prior to the beginning of the class (two weeks prior if possible, but definitely before the first day of class). Students should be properly registered in each class. The instructor should check the online class roster prior to the first class which lists the names of all students who have paid their fees for the class. If a student is not listed on the roster, that student should be directed to the Office of the Registrar. Purdue faculty members are not allowed to schedule any tests or examinations during the 15th week of classes.

 

I. Proctoring of Examinations

It is the instructor’s obligation to require intellectual honesty among his or her students, particularly in connection with examinations. The instructor is responsible for careful supervision of all examinations and class exercises. If an instructor wishes to give an examination during a class period when he or she must be absent, arrangements should be made for a colleague on the faculty to supervise that examination. Secretaries or student assistants must not be asked to proctor an examination in your absence. They do not have the authority to handle cheating and have their regular schedule of work.

 

J. Make-Up Examinations

Make-up examinations for those students who are unable to be present at regularly scheduled examinations may be arranged at the convenience of the instructor and the student, if the student shows proof that the absence was a legitimate one and if the instructor considers the excuse given by the student one which warrants the giving of a make-up examination. The Testing Center, Room 280, Main Building, will provide a place for a make-up exam. To schedule this service, please call Ext. 395.  Secretaries should not be involved in the giving or proctoring of make-up examinations.

 

K. Student Evaluation of Adjunct Faculty

Student evaluations shall be conducted at the end of the semester of each class taught by an adjunct faculty member. Adjuncts must allow for 15 minutes of class time near the end of the semester for students to complete the evaluations. You must step out of the room during that time and designate a student to be in charge of administrating the evaluations.

 

1.   For off campus classes, the evaluations will be handled by the unit. The results will be summarized and distributed to appropriate chairs/directors/deans and the adjunct faculty member, and a file will be retained. Summaries will be sent to the adjunct faculty member after grades have been posted, with a letter from the appropriate chair/director/dean.

 

2.   For on campus classes, the evaluations will be handled by the chairpersons/directors/deans. The results will be summarized and distributed to the adjunct faculty members after grades have been posted. Chairs/directors/deans will retain file copies.

 

L. Cancellation of Courses

Occasionally, it is necessary to cancel an adjunct faculty contract for reasons such as insufficient enrollment. For a faculty member who has spent time preparing for a class for Indiana University Kokomo, he or she will be compensated as follows: (See Conditions below.) For the preparation of a course that is canceled, the adjunct faculty member will be paid $75. If this is a first preparation for the course, there will be an additional payment of $25. If the class meets for the first time and is later canceled, mileage will be paid if appropriate. (This is not the policy for Purdue University).

 

M. Conditions:

1.         An outline must be turned in to the chair/director/dean and accepted before the start of the semester.

2.         If an adjunct faculty member is teaching multiple sections and one or more of these courses have sufficient enrollments, no payment will be made.

 

Academic Procedures

Grading

A final grade should be based on the instructor's evaluation of classroom and other assigned work and examinations given during the course.  Grades must be turned in within 48 hours after the final examination.  All 5 week and 10 week progress reports and final grades must be submitted electronically.  Please see your department secretary for instructions.  Plus (+) and minus (-) grades may be given.  For each hour of credit, points are associated with grades as follows:

A+ or A = 4.0                                     C = 2.0

A- = 3.7                                               C- = 1.7

B+ = 3.3                                              D+ = 1.3

B = 3.0                                                            D = 1.0

B- = 2.7                                               D- = 0.7

C+ = 2.3                                              F = 0.0

 

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The grade point average is a numerical value which is obtained by dividing the total number of credit points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted.  This average is computed at the end of each semester and on a cumulative basis.

No points are recorded for an F, although the hours attempted are included in the computation.  Credit points are calculated by multiplying the points associated with a grade by the number of credit hours for the course.  Example:  3 hrs of A = 12 credit points

 

B. Purdue Grading System for Credit Courses:

A+-A  - Highest passing grade.

A-

B+

B- 

C+

C

C- 

D+

D

D-        Lowest passing grade; marginally passing minimal objectives of the course.

E          Conditional failure; failure to achieve minimum objectives.  This grade represents failure in the course unless and until the record is duly changed within one semester.  It cannot be improved to a grade higher than D.

F          Failure to achieve minimal objectives of the course. The student must repeat the course

            satisfactorily in order to establish credit in it.

WF      Withdrawal failing; this grade counts as a failing grade.

I           Incomplete.

P          Passing grade; equivalent to grade A, B, or C.

N         Not passing.

 

Pass/Fail Option

The P/F, which permits students to designate courses to be recorded for either Pass (P) or Fail (F), is available to all undergraduate students for a maximum of two elective courses per academic calendar year, with a maximum of eight courses to be applied toward graduation.  These courses may not include those offered only on a Satisfactory/Fail basis.  Graduate students may elect the option for a maximum of four objective courses (which may be restricted to one such course per semester) to be applied toward graduation.  Other specific course limitations vary from unit to unit.  The student should consult a unit advisor for details.

 

Exercise and approval of the option must be completed by the end of the fourth week of classes during the fall or spring semester, or the second week of classes during the summer session.  The student should obtain a Pass/Fail from the Office of the Registrar, secure the signature of the chair/director/dean or acting representative of the unit, and return the completed form to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline noted above.

 

The grades of A, B, C, and D (pluses and minuses) shall be considered as Pass (P) under the option.  In no case will these grades be substituted at a later time in place of a P.  The grade of P is not counted in computing grade point averages; the grade of F is included.

 

Instructors will not be notified of those students registering for this option.  A final grade of A, B, C, D, or F (pluses and minuses) will be submitted by the instructor and will be converted to the appropriate Pass/Fail grade (P or F) by the registrar.

 

Extended X:  Any undergraduate student may retake an IU course for which he/she received a grade below an A.  A student may exercise this option for no more than three courses, totaling no more than 10 credits.  A student may use this option only once for a given course.  The student's transcript shall record both grades.  For the course retaken, only the second grade shall be counted in the determination of the student's grade-point average (GPA).  The grade for the course that has been replaced shall be marked with an "X" on the transcript.

(IU Kokomo Faculty Council, October 20, 2003) 

Implementation procedures for the Extended X policy:

1.  The extended X Policy replaces the FXpolicy.

2.  Any prior undergraduate course will be eligible for replacement if the replacement course is taken Spring 2004 or later under the new policy.

3.  The following grades cannot be replaced under the Extended X Policy: S, P, W, IR, NC.  

4.  GPA credit hours for the replaced course will be removed at the point at which the course is replaced. 

5.  Courses repeatable with different content are not eligible for replacement under this policy unless an academic unit chooses to permit this by means of a specific authorization procedure. 

6.  A student may not replace a grade with a second grade of W, I, R, or NC. 

7.  A student who has failed a course due to academic dishonesty may not retake that course for grade replacement under this policy.

8.  Enforcement of the Extended X policy shall be the responsibility of the school or division which certifies the student’s fulfillment of degree requirements. 

9.  Problems relating to the policy shall be referred to the school or division dean, or the

     administrator fulfilling the equivalent responsibility on the campus. 

     10.  In initial implementation of the Extended X policy, IUK joins other campuses in honoring the principle that the grade forgiveness policy on the degree granting campus is applicable for each student. 

     11.  This policy does not apply to students enrolled in the Purdue University School of

            Technology programs.

 

 

C. Early Warning/Early Alert/Attendance/Roster Verification

Indiana University Kokomo currently has a five and ten week early warning/attendance verification system.  Currently this is managed through Oncourse and faculty, including adjuncts, must complete these checks for all students in all classes.  IU is amending this system for fall 2011 – changes and any additional details will be announced via IU emails – please check your IU email on a regular basis.

 

D. Incompletes – Indiana University and Purdue University

The grade of Incomplete (I) is an agreement between the student and the instructor and is assigned only when the required work of the course is substantially completed and the student's work is of a passing quality.  Instructors may award the grade of Incomplete only upon a showing of such hardship to a student as would render it Inappropriate to hold the student to the time limits previously fixed for the completion of his or her work.  When the grade of Incomplete is given because the student missed the final exam, he/she will be allowed to remove the Incomplete by taking the exam only if he/she has followed the regular procedure to have the absence excused.

 

When an incomplete is assigned, a Statement of Incomplete form must be completed online and submitted to the Office of the Registrar.  The record will include a statement for recording the Incomplete and an adequate guide for its removal within a specified timeframe and with a suggested final grade in the event of the departure or extended absence of the instructor from the campus.

 

A grade of Incomplete must be removed within the timeframe stipulated by the instructor, under no circumstances may this exceed one calendar year.

 

Forms to remove Incomplete grades are available in the Office of the Registrar.  They must be signed by the instructor and returned to the Office of the Registrar.  If a grade of incomplete has not been removed within the calendar year of its recording, it will be changed to an F.

 

Students may not register for credit in a course for which they have received a grade of Incomplete.  Once a student has graduated, an Incomplete will indefinitely remain on a student’s record.

 

*NOTE: Financial Aid and Incompletes

Students receiving financial aid must comply with a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy. Students receiving Incompletes are expected to have the courses completed within the guidelines of the above policy. Incompletes can jeopardize financial aid. Students under consideration for an Incomplete should be informed regarding the SAP policy and directed to the Financial Aid Office, Kelley Student Center, Room 230, if necessary.

Incompletes—Purdue University Policy

A grade of Incomplete is a record of work in a Purdue University course, which was interrupted by unavoidable absence or other causes beyond a student’s control, which work was passing at the time it was interrupted and the completion of which does not require the student to repeat the course in order to obtain credit. When an instructor reports a grade of Incomplete, he or she shall file in the departmental office a statement of the reason for the grade and what is required of the student to achieve a permanent grade. He or she shall also indicate the grade the student has earned on the work completed, and the weight to be given to the remainder of the work in computing a final, permanent grade. The student must achieve a permanent grade in the course no later than the 12th week of the second subsequent semester of enrollment, or the Incomplete grade will revert to a failing grade.

 

If a student is not enrolled for a period of three years following the semester in which the Incomplete is given, then the Incomplete grade will be permanent. The grade will not revert to a failing grade, nor will the student be able to earn credit for the course by completing the work. In order for the student to receive credit, the course must be taken again.

 

I—Incomplete; no grade; the student was enrolled under the regular grade option.

The student must achieve a permanent grade in the course no later than the 12th week of

the second subsequent semester of enrollment, or the Incomplete grade will revert to a

failing grade.

PI—Incomplete; no grade; student was enrolled under the pass/not pass option.

 

E. Informing Students of Grades

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law, prohibits dissemination of grade information to anyone (including parents, spouses, or other family members) other than the student.

 

Students should be given timely, ongoing feedback (ideally through the use of the Oncourse gradebook) regarding how they are doing in coursework. This allows them to make an informed decision about withdrawing from the course if advisable. Students are able to access their final grades via OneStart as soon as they are posted. If you wish to make final grades available to the students before this time, you may do so. However, you may not post grades in a public space (e.g., in the hall outside of the classroom or on an office door) in any manner which would permit students to identify anothers’ grades. For instance, you may not use any portion of the student’s social security number or student id number. You may not post grades in alphabetical order, even if names are expunged.

 

Department secretaries are not permitted (and should not be asked) to give grade information to students either in person, over the phone, or by email.

 

F. Return and Retention of Materials/Maintenance of Records

Students have a right to see their graded examinations and papers and to know the basis upon which their final grade was determined. In order to assure students of this right and to avoid unnecessary disagreements, it is recommended that instructors return graded materials to students wherever possible. It is also recommended that instructors maintain student records for an indefinite period (particularly when a grade of “Incomplete” has been given) and that they retain final exams and term papers for at least several weeks—to enable the student to look at the graded materials after receiving his or her final grade.

 

G. Indiana University Grade Change

Grades may be corrected within approximately two weeks of submitting the final grade report to the Office of the Registrar. After that, no grade (except that of Incomplete) may be changed except by approval of the chairperson/director of the division in which the course has been offered and the Vice Chancellor for Academic
Affairs.

 

Approval is almost never given except to correct a clerical error. The nature and reason for the error must be made clear on the Request for Change of Grade form provided by the Office of the Registrar. When a request is made on some other basis, a definite and concise explanation must be given with a specific recommendation.

 

Upon completion of the Request for Change of Grade Form, the instructor should submit the form to the division chairperson or dean. When approved, the request shall be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar.

 

Extreme care should be exercised in calculating and recording grades. If a grade change is requested on the grounds of miscalculation, the division chairperson or dean may request that all grades be recalculated and evidence submitted that it has been done.

 

Please appreciate that this strictness is to protect the instructor from pressure from disgruntled students and parents.

 

H. Purdue Grade Corrections

An instructor who discovers that an erroneous grade was reported for a Purdue student shall immediately submit to the Purdue Student Services office a statement, countersigned by the department head, of what retroactive correction is to be made. A correction of grade should be reported to the Purdue Student Services office within 30 days after the start of the regular semester following the session in which the erroneous grade was reported. Any correction reported after this time must be accompanied by the instructor’s explanation for the delay in reporting in addition to the approval of the department head, unless the grade change is the result of a grade appeal. When a grade correction is recorded, the appropriate semester and graduation indexes will be corrected. The grade correction form (form 350) may be obtained from the Purdue Student Services office, KC250.

 

I. Indiana University Withdraw and Grades F, FNN, and FN

A grade of “W” is given automatically to the Indiana University student who makes an official application for withdrawal during the first eight weeks of a regular semester or the first three weeks of a summer session. Schedule Adjustment forms are available in the Office of the Registrar. The student may initiate the action online via OneStart or may obtain a Schedule Adjustment form in the Office of the Registrar.

 

After the automatic withdrawal period, Schedule Adjustment forms require the instructor's signature.  The instructor will give the student a grade of “W” (withdrawn passing) or “F” (withdrawn failing), according to whether the student is passing or failing in the course at the time of withdrawal. A student is not officially withdrawn until the signed form is returned by the student to the Office of the Registrar.

 

A student who simply stops attending or “drops out” of a class without officially withdrawing will receive an “FN” grade in the course and will not be relieved of any financial obligation. Faculty must retain in their records the last date of attendance for issuing the FN grade. At the time of the final grade roster, faculty should note the date of last attendance with the FN grade.  A student who never attended a class without officially withdrawing will receive an "FNN" grade in the course and will not be relieved of any financial obligation.

 

There are no withdrawals during the last two weeks of a semester. The last day of withdrawals is published in the semester Schedule of Classes calendar. Please make this date known to your students in your syllabus. Exceptions must be approved by the division chairperson/dean.

 

J. Purdue Withdrawal         

Purdue students shall receive a grade for every course in which they are assigned unless the course assignment has been properly canceled at the Registrar’s office upon presentation by the student of a request approved by the academic adviser. If there are extenuating circumstances, these must be stated on the request.

 

When a course assignment is canceled prior to the end of two weeks of a semester or one week of a summer session, the course will not be recorded on the student’s record. When a course assignment is canceled after two weeks and prior to the end of four weeks of a semester or after one week and prior to the end of two weeks of a summer session, a grade of W shall be recorded.

 

Purdue students must use Purdue Revision Request forms. IU forms are not accepted. All administrative drops must be processed through Purdue Student Services.

 

After four weeks and prior to the end of nine weeks of a semester or after two weeks and prior to the end of four and one half weeks of a summer session, a course assignment may be canceled upon the request of the student with the approval of the academic adviser. The instructor shall indicate whether the student is passing or failing. If the student is not passing, the case may be referred by either the student or the instructor to the dean of students, who, after consultations with the dean or the designee of the student’s school and other appropriate University agencies, shall determine whether there are sufficient extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s reasonable control to justify the cancellation of the course assignment without a failing grade.

 

No course assignment shall be canceled within the last seven weeks of any semester or three and one half weeks of a summer session.

 

Weeks Restrictions

1–2      Approval of academic adviser; course will not be recorded.

3–4      Approval of academic adviser; course will be recorded with grade of W.

5–9      Approval of academic adviser; The instructor shall indicate whether the student is passing or failing.

(Students with a semester classification of 1 or 2 need not have instructor’s signature. Grades recorded for these students will be W.) A grade of W, WF, WN, or WU will be recorded. In case of a W, WF, WN, or WU, exceptions shall be determined by dean of students.

10–16  Course assignments cannot be canceled during this period.

 

The cancellation of all course assignments constitutes withdrawal from the University. Cancellation of all course assignments as a result of withdrawal shall be treated and recorded in the same manner as the cancellation of a single course assignment with the additional provision that the dean of students shall determine and assign the appropriate effective date to the withdrawal.

 

Exceptions. Exceptions to the preceding regulations for registration, schedule revision, and cancellation of assignment may be made for courses that do not span the regular semester or summer session.

 

K. Purdue Schedule Revisions

Schedule revisions may occur following the beginning of a semester or session. Students may revise their schedule in accordance with the following policy:

 

Course additions, change of level, or change of pass/not-pass option. A student may add a course, change course level, or change the pass/not pass option during the first four weeks of a semester or the first two weeks of a summer session by obtaining on the schedule revision form the signatures of the academic adviser and the instructor of the course to be added or changed, if, in their judgments, the student could satisfactorily fulfill the course objectives.

 

In the case of extenuating circumstances, course changes may be made during weeks 5–9 of a semester or during weeks 3–4.5 of a summer session, upon recommendation of the student’s academic adviser, instructor, and head of the department in which the course is listed. Such course changes shall not be made during

 

Weeks Restrictions

1          Approval of academic adviser.

2–4      Approval of academic adviser and instructor.

5–9      Extenuating circumstances only. Approval of academic adviser, instructor, and head of the department in which the course is listed.

10–16  Not permitted.

 

L. Class Roster Audit          

Students should be properly registered in each class. Faculty members will be electronically verifying the roster and attendance at the five and ten week points in the semester.  No student should be allowed to remain in the class if the student’s name does not appear on the class roster. That student should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

 

M. Academic Misconduct

The Indiana University Kokomo procedures for imposing academic and disciplinary sanctions are designed to provide students with the guarantees of careful review and clear procedures, to ensure fairness for all students.  The procedures, therefore, provide that the imposition of disciplinary sanctions must also be based upon a consideration of all of the circumstances in a particular case, including a student’s prior record of misconduct, if any.

 

The procedures for administering academic sanctions are delineated in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. Faculty are encouraged to consult with the Dean of Students at 455-9203 regarding interpretation of the processes and standards in the Code.

 

 

 

N. Instructor Tardiness

If the instructor is aware that he or she is going to arrive more than 10 minutes late, the department office or the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, 455-9227, should be notified so that students may be given this information.   If it is after normal work hours, contact the Welcome Center – 453-2000 – so that they can post a notice on the classroom door. 

 

Purdue faculty should contact the Purdue Administrator’s Office, 455-9375.

 

O. Instructor Absence/Cancelation of Class

Acceptance of a faculty appointment carries with it the responsibility of meeting every scheduled class for the scheduled length of time. Occasionally, it may be necessary to miss classes because of illness or some other emergency. Classes should not be canceled due to inclement weather. The decision to cancel classes rests with the Vice Chancellor for Administration (see below). When classes must be canceled the faculty member should:

 

1.      Notify the office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and appropriate department secretary and arrange for a qualified replacement instructor, if possible, so that the class will not have to be canceled.

 

Purdue faculty contact the Purdue Director’s office. The substitute should be supplied with material for presentation to the class. Secretarial personnel and students are not to be involved in matters that should be handled by instructional staff.

 

2.      Notify the office of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and appropriate department chair if some emergency arises requiring that the class be suddenly canceled. Purdue faculty members contact the office of the Purdue Administrator.  An announcement should be placed on Oncourse as soon as possible to notify students. If possible, students from out-of-town will be notified by phone. This procedure should not be used capriciously, as it is both burdensome and expensive.

 

3.      If a class meeting must be canceled, the class session should be made up by a special meeting, or the assignment of additional academic work. Because of the heterogeneity of courses, instructors, teaching styles, times, etc., it is left up to the discretion of each instructor, in consultation with the chairperson/director of the academic unit, to determine how to make up the missed class. Some alternatives are

 

a.   Extra work outside of class

b.   Lengthened class periods where room schedules allow (check with Registrar if

 this is possible in the currently assigned room)

c.   Extra class meetings mutually agreeable to instructor and students

d.   Greater use of the final examination period

 

4.      After 5 p.m., call the Welcome Center switchboard operator, 453-2000, who will then have a note posted on the class room door, if possible. An announcement should also be posted on Oncourse.

 

 

P. Student Attendance (See note on FN and FNN grades)

Indiana University and Purdue University expect students to attend all classes. Illness is usually the only acceptable excuse for absence from class. Other absences must be explained to the satisfaction of the instructor who will decide whether work may be made up.

 

As part of the Early Warning system, instructors are asked to verify attendance and are given several options of student attendance notifications.  Instructors should identify students who have never attended or have stopped attending classes and the date they stopped attending, as well as students who are attending but do not appear on the roster. Students are notified by mail that action is required to resolve their enrollment status.

 

A student who fails to attend class or to withdraw from class may be considered to have withdrawn unofficially and be given an “F” in the course.

 

NOTE: Title IV federal financial aid guidelines require financial aid offices to track non-attendance of financial aid recipients. A grade of “FN” or “FNN” should be recorded on the grade roster as well as last date of attendance for any student receiving a grade of failure for non-attendance. “FN” and “FNN” grades are attributed to non-attendance and are distinguished from “F,” which is based upon performance.

 

Q. Snow Policy/Cancellation of Class

It is the general policy of the administration of Indiana University Kokomo that classes will not be canceled because of inclement weather. In those rare emergency situations when classes must be canceled, the following media outlets will be contacted:

The Office of Administration CFO, or their designee, will make the decision to cancel classes. The Vice Chancellor will notify the Office of Communications and Marketing of the decision for dissemination to the media. Purdue classes follow the decision on Indiana University Kokomo classes. In addition, the employees can get on the Indiana University Kokomo website for the information.

 

When classes are canceled at Kokomo, the classes off campus are canceled for the same period. If a decision is made to cancel classes at a specific Outreach location, the local radio station in that area will be notified and asked to make appropriate spot announcements.

 

Students should tune to local radio and television stations for closing information. They can also check the Indiana University Kokomo web site (www.iuk.edu) where a crawler will be run if the campus is closed.  They are asked not to call Indiana University Kokomo for this information. IU-Notify will also be used to inform the campus of an emergency situation. Please note that you must sign-up and keep your information current to receive alerts via IU-Notify.

 

Off campus instructors will be notified by phone if their class is canceled due to the closing of a high school.

 

Decision for closing will be made by:

5:30 am - campus closed all day and evening

9:30 am - classes beginning at or after 11:30 am are canceled, campus offices close at noon

3:30 pm - classes beginning at or after 5:30 pm are canceled

 

R. Severe Weather or Tornado Warning Procedures

Tornado Watch means that weather conditions are such that tornadoes might be created.

 

Tornado Warning means that a tornado has been sighted. One should be prepared to move to a place of safety immediately.

 

Procedures

On the issuance of a severe weather or Tornado Warning in the area by the National Weather Service, Safety and Security will immediately contact the building wardens and Physical Plant who will notify everyone in the classrooms and all offices. Classes must be evacuated if tornado warning is issued. Also, IU-Notify will be used to inform the campus of an emergency situation. Please note that you must sign-up and keep your information current to receive alerts via IU-Notify.

S. IU Payroll

Adjunct faculty members are paid on the last working day of the month, except for the December pay, which is issued on the first working day in January. Spring semester will be paid January—May. Each summer session is divided into two pay dates:

1. First summer session—one-half paid with the May payroll and one-half paid in June.

2. Second summer session—one-half paid in July and one-half paid with the August payroll.

 

All university employees (including staff, faculty, graduate students, and hourly) are required to utilize direct deposit for payroll. Information about direct deposit forms and the self-service process is available at the following Web site: http://www.fms.indiana.edu/payroll/direct_bank_deposit.asp.  Employees may view their most recent payroll information by selecting View Paycheck under Employee Self Service on the OneStart page.

 

Newly hired adjunct faculty will receive a hiring packet of information from the hiring department. All forms, along with the contract, should be returned to the hiring department who will forward paperwork to the proper office—Academic Affairs or Human Resources.

 

Indiana University Kokomo is required by federal law to have an I-9, employment eligibility verification form, on file for all employees hired on or after November 7, 1986. This form serves as verification that a person is a U.S. citizen or authorized alien entitled to work in this country. If an adjunct faculty previously completed an I-9 and is rehired within three years, a new form need not be filled out. Appointments are terminated if documentation is not on file prior to the beginning of the semester.

 

All employees are responsible for keeping certain personal data (i.e., mailing address, completion of degrees, etc.) current by using the Personal Data—Change form available from the OneStart page/Links block at the left of the page (OneStart; Services; Administration Systems; HRMS; Change form, personal data). Also, an employee may verify or change the direct deposit information on file with Human Resources from the OneStart page/Employee Self-Service block. Tax forms are available from the hiring department or the Human Resource office if an employee elects to make changes.

T. Purdue Payroll

Purdue “Part-time Lecturers” will receive a contract issued for the current semester only from the campus Director. Tax withholding forms and an Employee Information Form will be sent along with the contract to be completed and returned. All forms should be returned to Kathy Reel (Kelley Student Center, Room 250).

 

Part-time lecturers are encouraged to take advantage of direct deposit. This alleviates any delays that may happen with the mail service. A direct deposit form will be included with the contract or contact Kathy Reel at (765) 455-9375 for a form.

 

Paychecks are mailed out from the Business Office in the College of Technology at Purdue West Lafayette. Checks can be expected one to two days after payday.

 

Purdue University is required by federal law to have an I-9, an Employment Eligibility Verification form on file for all employees hired on or after November 7, 1986. This form serves as verification that a person is a U.S. citizen or authorized alien entitled to work in this country. All new part-time lecturers must have the I-9 completed by the first day of employment. Contact Kathy Reel at (765) 455-9375 to set up a time to complete the form. Any part-time lecturer who is rehired within three years does not have to complete a new I-9. However, the Director’s office will complete a re-verification and contact the part-time lecturer if more information is needed. A re-verification has to be completed by the first day of employment. After three years, the I-9 expires and a new one will have to be completed. The part-time lecturer will be notified if a new I-9 will need to be completed.

 

Questions concerning personnel and payroll should be directed to Director Christy Bozic or Kathy Reel. They can be reached at (765)455-9375.

U. IU Kokomo Graphic Standards

Use of the Indiana University Kokomo signature, block IU and other visual elements is guided by the Indiana University Style Guide and Integrated Image Manual.  The campus Office of Communications and Marketing, KO 286, ext. 409, is available for support and to answer any questions. 

 

V. Printed Materials

Wherever possible, please use the Resources function within Oncourse to upload materials for students.  Recently we have had several faculty members who wish to have manuals for classroom use printed on their own, paid for by their departments, and then have the Bookstore sell the manuals to students. These faculty members want the bookstore to reimburse the department for the cost of printing. This cannot be done. All materials required or suggested for classroom use must be ordered through the Indiana University Kokomo Bookstore. Therefore, we must have the manual’s original copy sent to us, and we submit it to IU Printing to be printed and bound. The Bookstore cannot reimburse departments or individuals for printing or royalty costs. In addition, faculty members are not to sell any outside textbooks, manuals or other materials directly to their students.

 

W. Copyright Issues

If an instructor wants to have an article, book chapter, etc. reproduced for use in the classroom in lieu of an entire textbook, he or she must contact the publisher of the work and get written permission to reproduce that work. Then the original article should be submitted to the Bookstore, along with the written permission.

We will send the manuscript to be printed and then sell it to students.  For fair use copyright information, refer to http://www.copyright.com/viewPage.do?pageCode=cr10-n#fairuse, or contact Diane Bever, Reference and Information Services Librarian (dbever@iuk.edu).
