SECTION 7

SUPPORT SERVICES

In this section:

The Admissions and Records Office evaluates applications for admission to the university, coordinates the registration process and maintains student academic records. Faculty may work with members of the Admissions and Records Office in matters pertaining to admission to degree programs, in service on academic standards committees, in student recruitment efforts, in evaluation of student work, grading, and graduation matters.

Faculty involved in admissions, academic advising, or with access to student records should be aware that The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (commonly known as FERPA or the Buckley Amendment), provides access for parents and students over the age of 18 (or attending a postsecondary institution) to their children's/their own, "education records." FERPA also protects parents'/students' privacy in those records by prohibiting their disclosure, or information contained in them, without written consent. "Educational records" are described as those records, files, documents, and other materials directly related to a student that are maintained by the University. Some faculty members and departments are involved in deliberations regarding the admission of individual students to degree programs, and to special programs such as nursing and teacher education. Information about students used to determine admission may be kept confidential unless it becomes a part of a student's ongoing file. When information about a student that was originally used to determine admission to a program is used for any other purpose, it then must be made available to that student upon request. (Applicants who are not admitted, however, are not covered under the Act). This right to review extends only to those records that pertain to that student as an individual. For additional information on privacy of student records see: Grading in Section 4 and the Glossary and Terms definition under Student Privacy Rights, in Section 9.

The Advising Center is responsible for providing information and training for faculty advisors, and help for students with particularly difficult advising problems who are referred by their faculty advisors. Approximately one-third of entering students have not declared a major and receive their academic advising by professional staff members in the Advising Center. Students who have a major and need advising must contact their major department for academic advising by a faculty member or student services professional.

The Education Mentoring Team (EMT) program is an ambitious advising and college orientation program for all incoming first time Freshman. An EMT consists, minimally, of a faculty member and a student services professional and usually a peer advisor. All incoming students are assigned to an EMT in order to assure that all students get advised. Each team provides the instruction for a 2 unit Freshman Seminar course and the academic advising for assigned freshman.

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) came into being as a direct result of the civil rights and student movements of the 1960s. In 1969, federal legislation, the Educational Opportunity Act, was passed. This Act was designed to encourage the inclusion of low-income and educationally disadvantaged students in higher education. This enables non-traditional students with the potential to succeed academically to enroll in college with the assurance of support services and assistance never before available. The EOP professional staff are part of a larger team, the Academic, Career and EOP (ACE) advising services. The ACE advisors provide academic, career, and related advising.

Since Academic Advising is an important part of a faculty members work, the links below should be reviewed.

Keys are made available to faculty for their office space and normally for classrooms assigned. A number of Academic Schools and departments may have special meeting and conference rooms which require faculty to check out the key for access to those facilities. Contact your department and school office for details regarding those meeting rooms, the location, scheduling and access to those rooms.

Due to the nature of equipment and supplies which exist in many classrooms, lab facilities and meeting rooms, security of these locations is important to faculty, staff and students. Faculty are responsible for ensuring that they lock these facilities so that supplies and rooms are secure after use and return keys to appropriate staff for security. Classrooms, except where a specific need for security exists, are normally left unlocked during operation, typically between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Faculty members who lose keys may be charged for replacement of those keys. For security reasons, the loss of a key must be reported promptly to your academic department and specific reporting procedures to other campus departments must also be followed. Faculty members must immediately report missing equipment, supplies or damaged facilities to their academic department and the university Police Services.

See Customer Service in Section 7 for additional services you may receive when arranging for keys.
