We propose that when a student has taken any 鶹ӰԺ class before the requirement for INT 100 Orientation was instituted (i.e., prior to Fall 2000) , even if that student is now in a more current catalog year, the INT 100 requirement can be waived. 2. We approved the waiver of INT for a student. 3. The committee recommends that students who reach graduation without taking INT 100 be allowed to substitute one of two classes for it. One would be a .5 credit community service class, which would be repeatable up to three times. The other is a .5 credit online resume writing/job search and cover-letter writing class.  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Grade Appeals or Questions of xe "Professional Conduct"Professional Conduct 鶹ӰԺ respects an instructors qualifications and upholds the right of an instructor to determine academic standards. With faculty approval, an instructor establishes the scope, objectives, and methodology of the course being taught, and is responsible for informing you students of the requirements for completion of the course of study in the class. The instructor evaluates student performance according to written grading criteria made available to you at the beginning of the class. Should you, the a student, have questions about your a grade or the an instructors professional conduct behavior, you must the following these published procedures must be followed. Failure to initiate these written procedures within 30 calendar days of the end of the semester will result in the forfeiture of your the right to challenge a grade or lodge a complaint against an instructor. (Note from MMc on this: Step 1 is not written below, so is stricken above.) These are the steps you that must be taken: Step One: You The student must first communicate with your the instructor to discuss your the complaint and attempt satisfactory resolution. If successful, no further action need be taken. Step Two: If unsuccessful, you, in Step One, the student, will write writes a letter to the Chair of the instructors department (this information is available at the Admissions and Records Office in Elko or from your branch campus/center) requesting a meeting between the student you, the instructor, and the Department Chair. The Department Chair will respond within 15 days of receipt of the your written request and establish a mutually agreeable date and time for the resolution meeting. After hearing both sides, the Department Chair will recommend a solution. Acceptance of this solution by both the student and the instructor parties ends the complaint procedure and no further action will be taken. (Note: In the event that the instructor is also the Department Chair, you the student will write the your request for a resolution meeting to the Chair of the Faculty Senate. The Senate Chair or a designee of the Senate Chair will fulfill the responsibilities of a Department Chair as outlined above.) Step Three: Failure of remedy in Step Two requires a written complaint to be submitted to the Academic Standards Committee of the Faculty Senate. This complaint may be submitted by either the student or the instructor if either is not satisfied by the recommended solution of Step Two. (This will be done for you, at your request, If requested, this will be done by the Department Chair or the Senate Chair or designee. This action must be accomplished within five days of the failure of Step Two.) Within 15 days of receipt of the written complaint, the Academic Standards Committee will arrange for the student you and the instructor to be heard before a full or quorum meeting of the Academic Standards Committee; the Chair involved in Step Two will be in attendance if deemed necessary by the student you or the instructor. Within 15 days of this hearing the Chair of the Academic Standards Committee will provide you with a written solution or recommendation for further action to resolve the issue. Additionally, Copies will be given to the student, the instructor and the Department Chair or Senate Chair designee (as appropriate). (Note from MMc on this: the previous wording implies that only the student may disagree. The changed wording represents the fact that it could be the instructor who may disagree. Step 4 recognizes both parties, so Step 3 should also.) Step Four: If the issue is still unresolved to the satisfaction of either party, a written request of review must be lodged in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs within three calendar days of issuance of the Academic Standards Committees recommendations. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will, after review investigation, issue a written decision which will be the final solution.
