Faculty members should clarify their policy at the first class meeting. It is understood that absence does not excuse a student from course work or responsi­ bility. The Student Health Center will not issue medical excuses for missing class for appointments or minor health problems and suggests that students inform their professors promptly of absences. »See also: HEALTH SERVICES, Absence Policy • P- 124 In the event that a student has an academic com­ plaint (e.g., complaint against a professor, grade problems, etc.), the following procedure is sug­ gested . 1. Contact should be made with the instructor. 2. If the student and the instructor cannot settle the problem, contact should be made with the Chairperson of the department. 3. If the problem persists, the student should contact the Dean of the faculty in which the complaint is lodged. 4. The next step in solving the problem, if nec­ essary, should be to contact the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. 8 T F S 2 3 i 9 ' O H 16 17 18 23 24 25 30 August 1 16 31 17 18 19 man IT X tue wed fi nr ACADEMIC COMPLAINT SEPTEM8ER S M I W 1 5 6 ' 6 12 13 14 15 '9 20 2! 22 26 27 28 29 tku 20 _ Jn i i: 21 « a 22 sat i suti 1 't Filing a Complaint with APSCUF The faculty union (APSCUF) has recently estab­ lished a system by which anyone may file a com­ plaint against a faculty member.

An incomplete grade is converted to a grade of "F" if not resolved by the end of the next semester (not including summer school) in which the student is in attendance. JTlOtl tue Orientation 1 PROGRAM ELIMINATION/CHANGES If a program is to be eliminated, it will be "phasedout", allowing an appropriate time period for enrolled students to complete the requirements. Program changes are common due to rapidly chang­ ing fields of knowledge and demands by various ac­ crediting agencies. These changes are usually of two types: 1) major program changes and 2) course changes within a program. Major program changes usually require the stu­ dent to complete the requirements of the old or new program, but not take some of each. It is possible that a student following the old program may have fewer class choices than might have been available previously. Course changes within programs are more common. In these situations the student will normally take the new course because the old course no longer exists. Generally speaking, every attempt is made to keep from penalizing the student while at the same time providing for an improved education. 1 wed Classes Begin thu Activities I air fn ] Football-W.

At SRSC, Campus Security is the link between the College Judicial System and the Civil System. Any reported violations investigated by the Campus Security Department may result in cri­ minal prosecution, since the Department does have arrest powers. The seriousness of the incident and the student's cooperation and/or response will be considered in determining action to be taken. The Campus Security files show that theft is the major offense committed on campus. Under Pennsyl­ vania statutes, theft ranges from a misdemeanor of the third degree to a felony of the third degree. The penalties for these offenses include fines up to $15,000 and imprisonment up to seven years. Disorderly conduct and underage drinking are the next most numerous offenses handled by Campus Secu­ rity. These offenses are often related in occur­ rence. Under Pennsylvania statutes, disorderly conduct is a summary offense and carries a fine not exceeding $300 or imprisonment not exceeding ninety days. All violations of Pennsylvania's drug laws are, at least, misdemeanor offenses. Conviction or ar­ rest for misdemeanors and felonies are "record" offenses, which means the court keeps on file a copy of the preceedings. These files are open for public examination and accessible to employers, prospective employers, schools and others. A new statute reads, "A person commits a misde­ meanor of the second degree if he recklessly en­ gages in conduct which places another person in danger of death or serious bodily injury " Before you commit yourself and others to "school pranks" or possible violations, know the law and be aware of the consequences.

Pledging and initiation activities, within given boundaries, are permitted in the dining halls. Any activity which would create a physical disturbance and/or interfere with the rights of others will not be allowed. Such things as loud singing or chant­ ing; formation of human chains, if they are disrup­ tive; and stacking trays would be considered nonpermissible behavior. At the beginning of the semester, each organiza­ tion which plans to conduct pledging or initiation activities in the dining halls must submit to the Director of College Union/Student Activities a list of organizational activities which it wishes to conduct in the dining halls.

Tennis-PSAC (Millersville) ( A ) Every time someone "beats" these procedures he or she is increasing the costs for every person who has paid the board fee. Your board fee is based on the actual number of meals served, not on the num­ ber of residence hall students. In other words, whenever someone not on contract obtains a free meal by using a resident's name, by stealing past the checker, or by taking food from the dining area, every student must absord the cost. There­ fore, it would be in the best interest of the en­ tire College community if students would not trv to "beat the system." 26 23 24 F o o t b a l l - L o c k Haven ( A ) Soccer-Behrend ( A ) .

The College cannot guarantee the person's immunity from the consequences of his actions relating to drug mis­ use, but the College will assist any student who makes a genuine effort to seek help. The student may seek help from such sources as the Counseling Center, Student Affairs Office, Health Center, and the Campus Security. Requests for such information or help will be held in the strictest confidence. Little W e n d s m a y prove big friends.

Nor will he/she be denied the benefits of such. Reasonable modifications to non-essential academic requirements will be made to ensure full edu­ cational opportunity for handicapped students. These modifications include: extension of time required to complete degree requirements, substitu­ tion of required courses, adaptation of the manner in which specific courses are conducted, and elimi­ nation of any rules which prohibit a handicapped person from using tape recorders in the classroom or guide dogs on campus. Slippery Rock State College will also ensure that the mobility-impaired person will have access to programs and activities and that those individuals with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills will not be excluded from an education because of the absence of educational auxiliary aids. IDENTIFICATION CARDS (I.D.) College buildings and services are primarily for use by members of the Slippery Rock State College community. Therefore, as a means of controlling access, each student is required to have a Slippery Rock State College validated identification card (I.D.) in his/her possession at all times. Properly validated 1.0. cards are to be used only by the person whose name and picture appear on them. An I.D. card must be shown before the student will be allowed to enter a College function. Your I.D. card is your admission ticket to the cafeteria and your pass to sports events and campus activi­ ties.

This may be done by the student through an independent source, or the student may elect to purchase coverage through the Student Insurance Program sponsored by the College. If the student does not purchase school health insurance, he/she must sign a waiver card which indicates the name and policy number of his/her independent insurance company. This cover­ age must be comparable to that recommended by the College. The College reserves the right to deter­ mine comparable coverage. Brochures and waiver cards are available in the Office of Student Affairs (302 Old Main) or in the McLachlan Health Center, and are also mailed to each student in the fees mailing in July of each year. To file a claim, contact the Health Center for claim forms and assistance. All international students are required to pur­ chase the school health insurance and death benefit coverage, or show comparable coverage. Students who will be participating in intercollegiate sports must also purchase the school insurance or show proof of comparable coverage. 36 w ed Thanksgiving Recess : Thanksgiving Recess thu Thanksgiving Day fri Thanksgiving Recess Thanksgiving Recess M.

RECORDS AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, P.L. 93-380; and "Right to Know Law" PA P.L. 390) Slippery Rock Sate College collects and retains information about students in order to identify students and to aid in their educational develop­ ment. The College recognizes that each student has a right of privacy and the College, therefore, exerts careful control over what information may be disclosed under the terms of the federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act and the Pennsyl­ vania "Right to Know Law." However, the College will exercise its right to collect legitimate in­ formation about students in order to fulfill its educational mission. The College adheres to the stipulations set forth in Public Law 93-380 (1974), which is com­ monly known as the "Buckley Amendment." This law contains provisions which give students and the 44 thu fn Christmas Day Silt sun 45 NOVEMBER S M T W 12 3 7 8 9 10 14 15 16 17 21 22 23 24 28 29 30 parents of financially dependent students the right to inspect the student's file, "including all mate­ rial that is incorporated into each student's rec­ ord but is not necessarily limited to, identifying data, academic work completed, level of achievement (grades, standardized achievement test scores); attendance data, scores on standarized intelli­ gence, aptitude and psychological tests, interest inventory results, health data, family background information, teacher or counselor ratings and ob­ servations, verified reports of services or recur­ rent behavior patterns." Generally, these records would include discipline, placement, financial aid, academic, and other official records. The College also adheres to the conditions con­ tained in the Pennsylvania "Right to Know Law." P.L. 390 (June 21, 1957), which places similar and additional responsibilities upon state agencies. This information is a general abstract of the content and spirit of these two public laws. How­ ever, it should be recognized that certain stipula­ tions contained in these laws are controlled by practical considerations such as the specific na­ ture of the records sought, the specific definition of the parties enabled to see them, the procedures left to the discretion of the College, the use of informal non-judicial hearings to settle disputes, and the enforcement problems of the Commonwealth or the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Both the "Buckley Amendmept" and the "Right to Know Law" can be read in complete or abstract form in the offices of the Vice Presidents of Academic or Student Affairs. Only information relevant to the student's edu­ cation may be included in files and records. No record will be made of race, religion, political or social views, or organizational membership not re­ lated to the college community unless such infor­ mation is supplied voluntarily by the student.

This includes reasonable requests for students to keep appointments with administrators and those College officials conducting a disciplinary investigation. These requests will be complied with promptly; fai­ lure to do so could result in disciplinary action. In urgent matters, when the request to report at a specific time conflicts with a student's sche­ dule, an excuse for class absence by the student will be issued by the appropriate office. at ;« L J ,> -• «•? !i 1 J tm.

Phone: 794-7355 (or Ext. 5355) Residence Life Philosophy There are two major philosophies behind college housing of students. The first is that students are mature adults who are responsible for their actions. Students, therefore, will be treated as tenants and will interact with the Residence Life Office on a landlord/tenant basis. The second philosophy of college housing is an educational philosophy of student development which maintains that residence halls are not merely pla­ ces to eat and sleep. Rather, they are environ­ ments in which students grow and develop through out-of-class learning experiences and participation in various activities on the personal, special, and academic levels. A variety of living/learning pro­ grams are conducted in the residence halls in an attempt to achieve these objectives. mon f a c u l t y Assembly tue Classes Begin M.

The Director of Residence Life is in charge of assignments to residence halls on-campus. Infor­ mation concerning housing is sent to each student in April for the next school year. Final housing assignments are made in May and are made on a yearly basis. Changes in housing assignments are made only in unusual circumstances. Slippery Rock State College wishes residents representing all creeds, races, to have and eth­ nic groups living in college residence halls. Therefore, in compliance with the Pennsylvania Fair Education Practice Act, all residence hall assignments are made without regard to race, religion, color, or national origin.

These regulations are applicable to both residents and non-residents who visit in the residence halls. Enforcement of housing regula­ tions is to be carried out by the residence hall staff. Only students assigned to the residence halls have the legal right to be in the buildings. All others are considered guests and must leave if in­ structed to do so by the Residence Hall Staff (Resident Coordinator, Resident Advisor) or Campus Security. Failure to obey a request by hall staff to leave a residence hall could result in a charge of "defiant trespassing" being filed at the Magis­ trate's Office and/or disciplinary action. Violations of residence hall regulations may subject the student to residence hall and/or col­ lege disciplinary action.

Eviction Policy The student may be evicted, at the discretion of the Director of Resident Education, from any and all state-owned residence halls for violation of residence hall or campus regulations as found in the Green & White and Residence Hall Handbook. The student also is expected to abide by any and all reasonable rules the college may make from time to time.

The unauthorized use or possession of dangerous chemicals, explosive materials, dangerous devices capable of casting a projectile or other lethal weapons is strictly prohibited on Slippery Rock State College property.

Counseling helps students to cope with personal and educational reality. It supports those who are temporarily confused. Through counselors, some basic skills are taught to effect changes in behavior which the individual selects for his or her own welfare. We discuss these concerns with the students on an individual basis, always hoping to strengthen individual selfawareness and decision-making. We also assist stu­ dents with basic training in how to be more effec- 118 tive helpers for others. The counseling center serves and administers tests for students, faculty, administrators and staff for their classes, research projects, or for their own self-undersLanding. If something is bothering you and you don't want to share it with a friend, your hall advisor, fam­ ily, resident director, faculty or advisor, another place to go "just to talk" is the Student Counsel­ ing Center.

Pledging and Initiation A student organization, fraternity or sorority has an obligation in the development of its pledges and members. This responsibility extends to: 1) the institution where it is represented, 2) parents and others who make possible the education of these pledges and members, 3) the community where the organization is accountable for good citizenship and, 4) the student organization, fraternity or sorority system of which it is a part. A student organization, fraternity or sorority without morally or ethically sound precepts and practices is not a constructive influence upon col­ lege students. Any unproductive, ridiculous or hazardous initiation custom has no place in the college. Slippery Rock State College expects that all members of all recognized student organizations 133 will observe and fully comply with the position statement on Hazing (which follows). Fraternities and sororities must also comply with the Pre-Initiating Activities of the College Fraternity Secretaries Association and the Code of Responsibilities of the National Fraternity Con­ ference. In addition, all students are expected to adhere to regulations set forth by their respective national fraternity, IFC, and Panhellenic Council. It is the responsibility of the officers of student organizations to be informed of all organi­ zation requirements and the Hazing Policy, and to see that they are brought to the attention of the rest of the membership. Hazing Policy No student organization, fraternity or sorority shall permit its pledges or members to submit or take part in hazing, as hereinafter defined, or vulgar or indecent practices, or any practices which involve personal hazard or danger. For this purpose, hazing is defined, without limitation as to definition, however, as follows: 1. Hazing as a public display shall consist of any and all forms of public appearance which may result in adverse publicity to the or­ ganization. 2. Hazing as physical abuse shall be interpret­ ed to mean any practice, whether internal or external, which is apt to be detrimental to the health and/or well-being of a pledge or member. 3. Hazing as moral indignity shall be defined as actions which by their ethical, moral and/or social implications, when viewed in the light of socially accepted standards of 134 right or wrong, may create in the individual a feeling of humiliation and/or disgrace. - 4. I _ I Hazing as scholastic interference shall con­ sist of any and all practices which place pledges or members in the position of being unable to attend or properly prepare them­ selves for classes. Any student organization which violates any of the above regulations will be referred to the Of­ fice of Student Affairs, and will be subject to college disciplinary action. Any fraternity or sorority which violates any of the above regulations will be referred to the Greek Review Board. This board will have the authority to deny a pledge class, revoke a charter, or impose other penalties as deemed appropriate. Liability (Student Organization) [ I t. I Recognized student organizations have an obliga­ tion to protect the welfare of their members, guests and the college. Tn relation, every pre­ caution should be taken to protect against college, individual and organizational liability. Any violations of the law or college policy could subject an organization and/or its represen­ tatives to college disciplinary action, including loss of recognition.

Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils believe that Greek organ­ izations can make a relevant contribution to their individual members, the college as a whole, and the 135 community. Membership is open to all students re­ gardless of race, color, or national origin. To initiate the forming of a national or local Greek Fraternity or Sorority, the following steps must be taken: 1. Forward a written request to the Director of Student Activities and College Union, Advisor to Greek Organizations in B-105 Collge Union. 2. The Interfraternity or Panhellenic Council will react to the written request to initiate steps to form a Greek organization at SRSC. In rela­ tion, a representative of the requesting organi­ zation will be asked to appear before the appro­ priate council. 3. The appropriate council will then recommend ap­ proval or disapproval of the request. The rec­ ommendation will be acted upon by the Director of Student Activities and College Union and Ad­ visor to Greek Organizations. 4. If approval is granted to become a member of the Interfraternity or Panhellenic Council and the SRSC greek system, SGA will initiate action to grant official recognition via the organization approval procedure. 5. Newly formed greek organizations, until charter­ ed, must attend Interfraternity or Panhellenic Council meetings. As such, they will not have voting privileges.

The decision will be relayed to the accused and the Coordinator of Student Standards who will notify appropriate indi­ viduals, as defined by this document, and maintain all records as required by this document (See VI). 7. The Appeal Board may remand a case, dismiss some or all of the charges, affirm the Hear­ ing Board decision, or reduce the penalty imposed. 8. In no event may an appeal result in the im­ position of a more severe penalty for the accused. a The Appeal Board shall review the hearing by the Hearing Board to determine: a. Whether the original board's process was conducted fairly and in accordance with prescribed procedures; b.

Whether the origirial decision is ported by substantial evidence; d. Whether the College regulations alleged to have been violated were properly in­ terpreted or applied by the original board. e.

The Coordinator of Student Standards shall de­ stroy all remaining records pertaining to the charge and its description. The same will be done if a hearing or an appeal re­ sults in an acquittal. 163 2. All records of censure and probation will be kept for five years and then destroyed ex­ cept as provided in VI.A. 3. If an individual receives additional sanc­ tions (censure and probation) during this five year period, records of all violations of these provisions will be retained until there is a period of five years following the most recent sanction. The records will be retained by the Coordinator of Student Standards with sufficient safeguards to in­ sure confidentiality. 4. If an individual is separated or dismissed, complete records of the proceedings and a l l pertinent documents, including any records of previous censures or probations, shall be maintained permanently by the Coordinator of Student Standards with sufficient safeguards to insure their confidentiality. 5.
