Students with Disabilities

 

DMACC is committed to providing an accessible environment which supports students with disabilities in reaching their full potential. Support services are available for students who have visual, hearing, mobility, learning, or other types of disabilities to ensure equal access to educational opportunities. Specialized software, adaptive equipment, classroom accommodations, and oral interpreting are examples of the support services offered.

 

DMACC employs a special needs coordinator to work with students to develop and coordinate services based on individual student need. Any student with a disability who requires reasonable accommodations to participate fully on the DMACC Newton Campus should contact Delores Wilson in the Newton Campus Academic Achievement Center.

 

As an alternative, a student with a disability may follow the steps outlined below:

 

1.   Contact the special needs coordinator, Hollie Coon, at (515)-964-6850 V,

(515)-964-6809 TTY, or the counseling and advising office on any of the six

campuses for an Application for Accommodations.

 

2.   Submit the completed application and supporting documentation to:

 

Des Moines Area Community College

2006 South Ankeny Boulevard, Bldg. 6-30d

Ankeny, Iowa   50023-3993

Attention: Special Needs Coordinator

 

3.   Schedule a time to meet with the special needs coordinator, counselor,

or advisor to discuss coordination of these services.

 

4.   Contact the special needs coordinator with any questions during this process.

 Class Lists

 

Acquisition of Class Lists:  The Student Services Department will send e-mails to each instructor prior to class lists being available on the web. Use the directions listed below to access your class list.

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 JoAnn Bergeson at Ext. 1720.

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. CRN’s are specific to each term.

8.      Select “Class List” and Submit.

 

Only “Z” term classes will receive paper copies of their class lists for final grades.  All other classes may submit their grades online at the appropriate times.

 

Additions to Class List:  Students can add a class in the fall 2007 semester until noon September 1st, the spring semester 2008 until noon on January 12th , the summer semester 2008 until noon on June 4th  .  Students who add a class after this deadline need permission of the instructor to add the class, and instructors must sign and date an add slip for students to join the class. Instructors do not have to grant permission to a student to add their classes after the official “add class” cutoff date and time.

 

Faculty should check their official class roster to make sure that the student has followed through with officially registering in the course by turning in the add slip. If the student’s name doesn’t appear on the official class roster, then the student should be directed to the Registration Desk (front desk) to complete the add process.

 

Students In Class Not Appearing On Class List:  Students who are in class but who do not appear on the official class roster should be directed to the main office. If the student persists in attending class without becoming officially registered, please contact Teresa Van Rees, Room 106-4, Ext. 1723, or Doug Frazer, Room 106-1, Ext. 1722.

 Students On Class List Who Never Show Up: If a student whose name appears on the class roster has never shown up, please report non-attendance on the ten-day mandatory report. [Note:  If a student has shown up for one class period in the ten day reporting period, he/she should NOT be reported as non-attending.]  This may be done either on the official class roster that is issued at the end of the first ten days of class by the Provost’s office or on Web Banner using the following instructions:

 

Web Instructions for Reporting

Students Who Have Never Attended Class

 

1.              Access the DMACC Homepage (http://www.dmacc.edu).

2.              Click on the Human Resources bubble.

3.              Click on Employee Web for WEB INFO SYSTEM.

4.              At the bottom of the page, enter your User ID (ssn) and PIN.

(If you do not know your PIN, call 965-7300.)

5.              Select Faculty Services on the Main Menu.

6.              Select Midterm Grades.

7.              Select Term and submit.

8.              Select a Class (CRN) and submit.

9.              If a student has never attended this class, select or type NA in the column to the right of the student’s name.  Ignore the date field.  When you have entered marks for all the students you wish to designate as never attending, click on the “Submit changes” button at the bottom of the page.  A copy of the list you have submitted will appear.  If you wish, you can print this page for your records.

10.           Click on “CRN selection” at the bottom of the page to report grades in another class.

             WEB HOURS

Sunday through Friday – 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.

Saturday – 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.

 

REPPORTING OF NON-ATTENDANCE IS MANDATED BY FEDERAL STUDENT AID PROGRAM.

 

Students on Class List Who Stop Attending/Disappear without Contacting DMACC or Instructor:  If a student who has attended at least one day of class stops attending, please do the following:

           

            On midterm grade report:

 

                        Select QA on Web Banner or mark QA on paper class roster and give date

                          of last class attended.

 

On final grade report:

 

On the final grade report, mark the grade that student has earned in the course.

QA cannot be given as a final grade.

 

Incompletes: Incompletes are given at the discretion of the instructor. It would be a good idea to state your policy regarding the giving of incompletes in your syllabus. (For example, incompletes will be given only if there is an emergency after the drop date.)

 

            1. Mark “I” on the grade report (with paper roster or Web Banner).

             2. Turn in an Incomplete Grade form that includes the name of the course, CRN, name and social  

security number of student, semester, and deadline of the remaining course work to the Provost’s office.  This deadline may not exceed the date of midterm in the following semester. An incomplete form must be turned in to the Provost’s office even when instructors are

             turning their grades in via Web Banner.

            3. If a student fails to complete the work, the instructor does a change of grade based on what the student’s present grade is in the course.
