Student Bill of Rights.
- The right to attend classes during their regularly
scheduled time without deviation from such time and without
penalty if the student cannot attend instructional time not
institutionally scheduled.
Classes will be held at regularly scheduled hours. Special
campus and/or off-campus sessions and field trips should be
listed in the syllabi with expectations of attendance and
make-up enumerated. Expectations of class attendance and
tardiness will vary according to the information that is
published in class syllabi. In certain classes, adjustments
in special teaching lectures and equipment demonstrations
may necessitate class meetings that are not regularly
scheduled. Faculty will attempt to give as much notice as
possible so that students may plan their schedules, and
students with schedule conflicts will be responsible for
notifying the appropriate instructor. In such cases,
students will be not be penalized for scheduling conflicts
which prohibit attendance. For further information, see
Faculty Handbook, Regulations: Article VII, Section E.
- The right to consult with an assigned advisor for a
reasonable amount of time each semester.
The campus advisement system enumerates the various
individuals and units that perform advisement. Students
should schedule appointments and see their appropriate
advisor for a reasonable amount of time each semester.
Students who choose to not follow the system may be
hampered in their academic progress. For further
information, see Faculty handbook, Regulations: Article
VII, Section C.
- The right to transfer core curriculum within the
University System.
If the core curriculum guidelines are followed as set forth
in University System policies and in the catalog of the
institution to which a student is transferring, academic
work should be accepted. Students are responsible for
communicating closely with the system institution to which
they are transferring and to meet the guidelines in order
to have the academic work approved for transfer. For
further information, see Core Curriculum Manual, University
System of Georgia.
- The right to consult with faculty outside of classroom
time during regularly scheduled office hours and/or by
appointment.
Faculty are expected to maintain and publicize individual
policies concerning student appointments and/or office
hours each week. Faculty members should also be available
by appointment to students who cannot see them during
office hours. For further information, see Faculty
Handbook, Regulations: Article VII, Section B.
- The right to reasonable access to campus facilities of
which use is required to complete course assignments and objectives.
Students will have reasonable access to campus facilities,
such as the library, writing center, computer center,
gymnasium, laboratories, and other academic facilities that
might be required to complete course requirements.
- The right to receive each semester for each course, a
syllabus which outlines course objectives and requirements
and to be informed of any changes in these syllabi at the
beginning of the semester.
Students have the right to know faculty expectations in
each course. At the start of term, faculty should
distribute a syllabus with course objectives, attendance
policies, grading procedures, etc. Faculty should provide
timely notice of any change to the syllabus.
- The right of timely review of lecture and/or reading of
lecture and/or reading material before a major examination
is administered.
Students should be informed of the general array of
material on which examinations are to be given in order
that the students may conduct a timely review. Faculty
will not be expected to tell students what will be on the
examinations.
- The right of each student to receive access to any of
his/her records kept by the institution. (May be waived by
student in certain cases like career service office
records.)
Students have all of the rights of access to their records
that are enumerated and outlined in the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended. The
right to access does not mean the right to amend or change
records.
- The right of each student to receive access to grading
instruments and/or evaluation materials.
Students should receive in the course syllabus the basis
for evaluating their progress and achievement in the class.
Letter grade ranges should be clearly defined and the
weight of grade work should be specified. Students are
allowed to see their examinations or other work after it
has been graded; however, the instructor may choose to keep
these material after student review.
- The right to be informed of the grade appeals
procedure.
The approved grade appeals procedure is printed in Student
Illustrated and the College Catalog. Students are also
informed at the orientation sessions of the proper
procedure. The appeals procedure incorporates
institutionally established due process rights for
students. Students have the right to know if the grade
appeals procedure is changed and how it is changed.
