Syllabus Statement regarding Classroom Management and Student Conduct

Course Enrollment
The maintenance of accurate records is the responsibility of each faculty member. This includes but is not limited to:
•	taking roll,
•	ensuring all students attending class are registered,
•	updating class rosters prior to the census dates, and
•	the timely posting of grades.

The Office of Admissions and Records provides information and dates/time frames to ensure accurate records prior to the start of each academic semester/year. It is critical that instructors understand and aware of such information. Keeping accurate records will keep the Porterville College in compliance with audit criteria and state funding requirements. Additionally, keeping accurate records helps the college to track and monitor the progress of our students. Please refer to the Faculty Start of Term Informational Gude Sheet that is sent via email from the Director of Enrollment Serivces. This includes important information regarding waitlist procedures, enrollment and grading responsibilities, etc.

Class Roster/Roll Sheets
Faculty members should print the class roster the day of your first class meeting. The instructor may drop students who do not show up the first day of class. It is recommended that you drop students the same day the class meets to allow students to roll from the waitlist. It is recommended that you take roll every class meeting for the first few weeks. Drops and new Adds from the waitlist happen each evening when the system is updated. Because new students are added to your classes from the waitlist system, it is recommended that you re-print your roll sheets for each class period daily at least until census date.

Roll sheets can be accessed through Banner (MyBanWeb).

STEP 1: Go to the Porterville College website www.portervillecollege.edu STEP 2:
•	From the Porterville College website www.portervillecollege.edu
•	Log in to InsidePC (you will need your PC email address and password in order to login)
•	Click on MyBanWeb, choose MyBanWeb Main Menu
•	Click on the Faculty Services tab
•	Click on Class Roster

STEP 3: Click “term selection” then select the current term from the drop-down button. Submit.

STEP 4: Next, choose/select the CRN from the drop-down menu and submit.

STEP 5: Next in this screen, instructors have many options.

•	In this section, instructors can complete several activities, for example:
•	Add/drop Listing
•	Registration Drop/Withdraw
•	Final Grades and Attendance Hours - Enter
•	View/print class rosters
•	To access and print the class roster - Click on “Class Roster”.

At this point you can either print the “print-friendly roll sheet” OR you can download the roster to an excel spreadsheet. Both options are at the top of the page.
Class Cancellation
Once the semester class is underway, there may be times when the faculty member will need to cancel a class meeting (illness, car accident, etc.). The CCA Bargaining Agreement: Professional Expectations states that the faculty member shall not combine, cancel or change

Record Keeping

Census Dates - Are the documented calendar times for determining the actual enrolled student population for the college. The census date is the date enrollment is final for the semester. It is the census date enrollment numbers which are used by the State to determine college funding. Therefore, the State Education Code requires that accurate records be maintained. Census dates are listed on your class roster.

•	State regulations/attendance reporting requires instructors to drop all students who are not actively participating by 11 p.m. on the day before the census date for each specific class (check the top of each roll sheet for the date).
•	Please check your roll sheets regularly during the term. Students who are no longer on your official class roster must not attend class.
•	Instructors should check class rosters after each class meeting during the first two weeks and regularly for the rest of the semester to ensure that all students are officially enrolled.
•	Students will not be added to classes after the census date.
•	All drops must be completed via MyBanWeb.
•	Please see the Academic Calendar that the Director of Enrollment Services sends out yearly. It has important dates for both students and faculty.

Dropping Students for Non-Attendance: Faculty members may drop students who do not show up for the first day of class. Instructors may drop a student from a course when absences number the equivalent of two weeks of class recorded from the first day of instruction. If circumstances warrant and can be justified academically, faculty members may drop students after less than two weeks of absences. Please note, when you enter grades at the end of the semester, you are required to certify that you dropped all non-participating students by the census date. Monitoring your class rosters is extremely important during the first two weeks of school.

Non-Participation Policy
Academic Senate Approved 1/30/2015

Students are expected to attend, complete assignments, and participate fully in all classes in which they are enrolled. Students may be dropped at any point in the semester for non-attendance and/or

non-participation. At the end of the term, faculty will be responsible for determining the last participation date for students who have failed or withdrawn after the 20 percent date.

Faculty may determine the appropriate date for each student that stops participating using criteria, such as:
•	Student fails to complete class assignments
•	Student stops attending class
•	Student is not engaging in classroom discussions
•	Student is not participating in classroom activities
Grades

For further questions or assistance, please contact:

Veronica Cruz at 559-791-2228 - veronica.cruz@portervillecollege.edu or
Janice Halopoff at 559-791-2269 - jhalopof@portervillecollege.edu
•	Grades are due 3 business days after the last class meeting.

Positive Attendance Hours
Courses requiring documentation of positive attendance hours are labeled on the BanWeb final grade-reporting site. On the right side of the page on which you have entered course grades, there is a column for positive attendance hours. Determine the number of hours required for your course. This is listed in the college catalog with the course description. Subtract the number of hours the student has missed from the total hours for the course. This is the positive attendance hours to be entered. Please note the following: when submitting grades at the end of the semester and a student didn’t complete any positive attendance hours, you would enter “0”.

For example
If the course has a total of 54 hours and meets 1.5 hours twice a week. If the student is absent two times (3 hours) then 54 hrs-3hrs=51hrs. Enter 51 for the positive attendance hours.

Assigning a “W” Grade
A grade of “W” is assigned to students who drop after the initial drop date, but no later than the 60% date of the course. These dates are listed on your course roster. These “W” grades will be seen on the final grade roster; it is not a grade the faculty member literally enters on the form. You can also refer to the Academic Calendar that is sent out from the Director of Enrollment Services or visit the webpage under “Important Dates”.

Assigning an “I” Grade
An “I” (Incomplete) grade may be assigned to students who have completed 75% of the course work and the instructor is willing to give additional time (when submitting grades, the system

automatically sets a 1-year default date) for the student to complete all necessary assignments for the class. Prior to assigning an “I” grade the instructor must notify the student. Incomplete grades are to be used for compelling reasons only (accident, extenuating circumstance, etc.) and the student should not be failing at the time the incomplete is granted. At the time an “I” grade is entered the instructor will be required to enter the grade to be issued if the missing work is not completed and the date by which the work must be made up. Although college policy allows an instructor to give the student until the end of the term, one year later, to complete the work, most instructors find it advisable to allow a shorter time period. When all outstanding work has been completed, the instructor will then submit a completed Grade Change Form to the Admissions & Records Office.

Attendance Records
It is the responsibility of each faculty member to maintain accurate attendance and grading records for each class. When a faculty member submits grades/supporting documentation, the faculty member is certifying that they have dropped all non-participating students by the census date. Attendance records are legally required for each course and may be requested during yearly audits. The final documentation for grades and attendance are to be taken to Admissions & Records at the end of each semester. (Suggestion: keep your records for one year).

Class Breaks
California Education code permits a ten-minute break for each whole clock hour of instruction. Break periods must occur within the instructional hour and they may not be accumulated and taken as a block at the end of the class session. Holding to the scheduled class hours is the professional expectation of all faculty members.

Guest Speakers
Porterville College recognizes that discussion of public issues on the campus plays a significant role in promoting the education of its students and in preparing them for intelligent participation in society. Guest speakers are at the discretion of the instructor but must have prior approval from the applicable Dean.

•	Guest speakers do not remove the instructor’s responsibility for managing the class; the instructor must be present during the class time and ensure that the appropriate classroom environment is maintained.

Absences
An Adjunct Faculty Academic Extra-Pay Absence Report is to be submitted for each absence from an extra pay class upon return to duty. This needs to be completed and submitted to the applicable division chair (and then to appropriate dean) upon return.
Accessing the Form can be done through InsidePC as listed above, click on Absence Report (adjunct).

Final Exam Schedule
The final exam schedule is also located on the Porterville College website under the Important Dates Tab https://www.portervillecollege.edu/important-dates.
Any changes to the final exam time must be approved prior to the week of finals. Contact your division chair and dean.

Textbooks
Unless the division requires a specific textbook, the selection of course materials is at the discretion of the faculty member. Should the faculty member desire to use another textbook aside from what is currently used, the faculty member should discuss with the applicable division chair. Field representatives for textbook publishing companies may be a resource in obtaining review copies of textbooks which you may wish to consider for adoption in future courses.

Instructors needing a desk copy will need to order a desk copy from the publisher. Please check with your division chair prior to ordering a desk copy.

Student Conduct

Porterville College is committed to fostering an intellectual and ethical environment based on the principles of academic integrity. Academic integrity is essential to the success of the College’s educational missions, and violations of academic integrity constitute serious offenses against the entire academic community and the PC Student Code of Conduct.

Payroll is computed based on load; if there are any class cancellations or absences, these must be submitted to payroll and will be deducted from the monthly payment.

Adjunct faculty can teach to a maximum of 67% of a full-time faculty load.

Safety and Security
Porterville College is an open campus filled with people who care about each other. Because of its open accessibility, all students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to exercise a sense of personal responsibility for their own safety and well-being, and the safety and well-being of others. While crime can happen anywhere, when we act as a community that knows and cares about the safety of others, ourselves, and our property, we lessen the likelihood of being victimized, and we showcase our Pirate Pride.

Porterville College has security officers that have previous law enforcement experience and receive specialized training in campus police and safety operations. Also, the campus uses cadet student interns enrolled in criminology classes to aid in parking enforcement and security. The college receives additional support from the Porterville Police Department and other agencies. For more information on campus safety, reporting an incident, and resource providers please view the respective links from this page. You can also follow campus safety & security on Porterville College’s social media. Contact: Security Office at 559-791-2440
