  5. FERPA – Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act According to this Federal Law, instructors and college personnel cannot give out student information to anyone other than the student concerning the student’s status, grades, attendance or personal information. FERPA video, by Phillip Lopp Levine Registrar, is available on the PT Faculty website. 1. Do not use or request access to student information for any reason other than legitimate educational purposes. 2. Do not post grades allowing personal identification of students–names, ID or SS numbers, alphabetical order.

  6. FERPA 3. Do not distribute graded papers, tests, reports and such by allowing students to sort through them and in turn view information about other students in the class. 4. Do not include grades, GPA or other information from education records in letters of reference without prior written consent of the student. • 5. Do not share student information with any outside agency or a students parent(s) without documented written consent of the student. Instead notify the student of the request and suggest that they share their progress with them. • If in doubt, don’t give it out! Refer requests for student information to the Offices of Student Records or Campus ESS Director.

  7. Campus and Classroom Information • Before classes start visit your campus and become familiar with your classroom and technology resources. • Remember that faculty are not permitted to remove or add furniture/technology from classrooms. • Work at any campus touchdown center. Ask campus personnel for the location and utilize computers, printers, phones and basic supplies. • In case of an emergency obtain and document the name and number of the campus dean, PT Faculty contact person, security officer, ESS Director and department contacts.

  8. Community of Learners • “Build a Sense of Community,” students will perform better because they will feel connected to the class and to the instructor. • Ask students to suggest what problems or ideas they would like to see included in the course. Post these on the chalkboard and refer to the list when the syllabus is reviewed. • “2 Truths and a Lie -students write three statements about themselves: one statement is false, while two should be true. Explain that the goal is to fool people about which one is false. In groups, each student reads the statements and the group attempts to guess the lie. • A variety of classroom activities are available on the Part-time Faculty website.

  9. Completing Online Attendance or Record of Class (10%) Form The College is funded by the number of full-time equivalent students it has. This number is calculated when a class has met 10% of the total hours scheduled. These values are obtained directly from the course attendance sheets. Consequently the state mandates that all faculty take accurate daily attendance. CPCC offers two distinct attendance procedures. 1. Web Advisor Online attendance - if your class meets 51% or more in a classroom. 2. Paper attendance using The Record of Class (10%) Form - if your class is strictly online or meets more than 51% online.
