Acquisition of Class Lists

 

The Provost’s office will distribute class lists four times during the semester: at beginning of term, after 10th day, midterm, and for final grades. Class lists may also be viewed online by doing the following:

1.      Go to http://www.dmacc.edu.

2.      Hover over the Human Resources bubble to evoke a drop down menu.

3.      Click on the last menu item “Employee Web” for Web Info Systems.

4.      Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Your login is your Social Security Number. Your password is your PIN number. If you did not receive a pin

number via regular mail, please contact Paula Goldsworth at Ext. 5021.

5.      Select Faculty Services on the Main Menu.

6.      Select the “Term” and Submit.

7.      Select the “CRN” and Submit. *CRN means “Course Reference Number” – This number can be found next to the name and section identifier in the registration schedule. CRNs are specific to each term.

8.      Select “Class List” and Submit.

 

Paper class lists will be both mailed to adjunct’s homes and delivered to adjunct’s classrooms by a Boone Campus counselor or educational advisor.

 

Record of Syllabus

 

Distribution: Copies of syllabi along with copies of course competencies need to be distributed to students during the first class period. Students who are enrolled but are not there for the first class session or students who enroll during the official add period should be given a syllabus as quickly as possible.

 

Turn In: All adjunct faculty members are to save a copy of their syllabus on the "N" drive or attach a copy to an e-mail to pjgoldsworth@dmacc.edu. These syllabi need to be in the Provost’s office by the end of the first week of classes. Doing so facilitates handling emergency situations if faculty members are unable to complete their teaching assignment. It would also be useful for group leaders to have an electronic copy of your syllabus as well as the Provost’s office.

 

Student Advisor

 

A student advisor from DMACC’s Boone Campus is planning to be at the Ames Hunziker Center before classes for the first two weeks of the semester. This advisor will be located in the lobby of the Hunziker Center. If this location is changed, instructors will be notified at the Adjunct Faculty Meeting. In addition, Associate Provost Brian Green and the educational advisors will be routinely visiting the Hunziker Center on a rotating basis.

 

Adjunct Instructor Absence (Class Cancellation or Substitute)

 

Give Notice: When adjunct faculty are unable to meet their classes due to emergencies or illness, contact BOTH the Provost’s office, 433-5020 or Paula Goldsworth’s office, 433-5021 AND your group leader (see contact list –general information about Boone/Ames).  The Provost or the appropriate group leader determines whether to cancel the class or find a substitute (see section below entitled Substitutes for Adjuncts). If the adjunct instructor is teaching a night class and has not gotten hold of the Provost’s office or the group leader before 4:30 PM, the adjunct needs to contact the main office from 4:30 to 7:00 PM by calling 432-7203.

 

Student Notification: With sufficient notice and availability of office personnel, the associate Provost’s office will attempt to call students to inform them that their class has been cancelled due to instructor absence.

 

Substitutes For Adjuncts

 

Group leaders will either find or assist adjuncts in finding suitable substitutes if decisions are made to hold classes when adjuncts are going to be absent. Adjuncts should not find a replacement without notifying their group leader of both the absence and replacement.

 

Room and Schedule Changes

 

Room Changes: Permanent and temporary room changes need to be arranged through the Ames High Community Education Liaison, 239-3710, Ext. 305. In addition, adjuncts need to inform the Provost’s secretary, Paula Goldsworth, Ext. 5021, of any permanent room changes so that she can inform students of the new locations or assist people in locating students in emergency situations.

 

Give Notice: Temporary room changes (even for one day) need to be given to the Ames High Community Education Liaison, 239-3710. If possible, Brian Green , the Associate Provost, should be notified by calling 433-5025. Notification of this temporary room change is very important because sometimes students need to be located when there is an emergency.

 

Schedule Changes: All schedule changes must be arranged through your group leader and approved by the Provost’s office.

 

Office Supplies and Equipment

 

Office Supplies: The stock of office supplies such as pens, paper clips, envelops, folders, etc. are ordered and maintained by group leaders at the Boone Campus. Check with your group leader to see how to obtain these supplies.

 

Equipment: The Scantron and transparency maker are available for use in the adjunct office, Room 136, on the Boone Campus. You will need a key card, available from Paula Goldsworth, Room 120F, to access Room 136. Scantron forms are available from your group leader.

 

Discipline-Specific Supplies and Equipment: In most cases, group leaders will handle the acquisition of discipline-specific supplies. Prior approval from one’s group leader or the Provost’s office is needed in order for an adjunct faculty member to purchase supplies that will be paid for by DMACC.  DMACC is tax exempt and should not be charged tax. Original charge slips must be turned into your group leader or to Vicki Lauzon, Room 120D.

 

Classroom Media Equipment

 

Media Equipment Available in Classroom: Media equipment will be available in all classrooms at the Hunziker Center in Ames.
