Academic & Student AffairsCompletion AgendaOur goal at GRCC is to increase student success through the accomplishment of the Completion Agenda.
This agenda includes a slate of specific college action projects (outlined in our Strategic Plan) as well as department-level projects directly and indirectly aimed at improving student success. Where the College is pursuing projects with indirect impact on the completion agenda, it is building infrastructure and capacity for future projects with more direct impact.
We will measure the success of our efforts by monitoring student performance in three specific areas: Persistence, Completion and Transfer
Persistence will be measured by:
• Fall to Winter term persistence (all students)
• Fall to Fall persistence (first-time, full-time students only)
Completion will be measured by:
• Number of degrees/certificates awarded
• Percent of students who earn a degree within six years
Transfer will be measured by:
• Percent of students who successfully transfer within six years (to four-year or other two-year colleges)
VisionAs a college of distinction, GRCC inspires students to meet the needs of the community and the world.
MissionGRCC is an open access college that prepares individuals to attain their goals and contribute to the community.

Purpose of AGC “Grand Rapids Community College’s Academic Governing Council (AGC) is a collaborative initiative between the faculty and academic administration to strengthen communication and increase involvement in academic issues and policies. By fostering and encouraging a broader input and a sense of accountability, AGC leadership effectively mediates issues that impact students, staff, and faculty.
AGC recommendations are, upon approval by the provost, implemented on a college‐wide basis. The Provost, in conjunction with other college entities, will conduct implementation of these decisions as needed.” (Preamble, AGC Bylaws).
Policies/Practices Adopted Issues for consideration may be brought to AGC by individuals or committees from anywhere in the College and at any time. Issues approved for consideration are generally presented a minimum of three times before the AGC. This allows for a clear explanation of the issue, and time to disseminate and retrieve information from the various units of the College and make changes as needed.
The AGC is an advisory group reporting to the Provost. During the 2013‐2014 academic year, the AGC discussed and adopted the following policies. Dates in parentheses indicate the months during which the policies were approved.
1. Academic Standing Policy 8.17 (October 2013) AGC voted to approve the revision of Academic Standing Policy Subsection 8.17: Grand Rapids Community College requires all students to make satisfactory academic progress. Changes in the policy include:
Students being suspended for two consecutive semesters (including summer session) rather than one year (Fall/Winter; Winter/Summer; Summer/Fall).
An early return option after one semester or session suspension with required enrollment in CLS 102 or PY 97 (if required and not passed).
Early return students are limited to eight (8) total credits for the semester or session.
Rationale: Language changes reflect modified process. Improved engagement and success of suspended students. Present suspension time period is not demonstrating success when students return. CLS 102 and PY 97 provide a learning experience to improve academic and student
success skills. Supporting Data:
There is no evidence that a longer suspension period leads to improved success once students return. When students return from longer suspension periods, with no intervention like a CLS 102 experience, they generally do not succeed. Most colleges do not have as long a suspension period as GRCC's former policy.
Implications for Action: GRCC Academic Standing Policy is now consistent with the College's actual practice.
This keeps GRCC in compliance with the Higher Learning Commission requirements for making readily available to students and to the general public clear and complete information, including policies regarding academic good standing, probation, and dismissal. Allowing students in the early return pathway to enroll in up to eight (8) hours enables them to be eligible for financial aid.
22
Evaluation Plan: This policy should be reviewed again in the 2019‐2020 Academic Year.
2. Course Transfer Policy (November 2013) Rationale:
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) requires institutions to have a transfer policy. Commission Policy FDCR.A.l0.040‐ Publication a/Transfer Policies states, "Each institution shall determine its own policies and procedures for accepting transfer credits, including credits from accredited and non‐accredited institutions, from foreign institutions, and from institutions which grant credit for experiential/earning and for non‐traditional adult learner programs in conformity with any expectations in the Commission's Assumed Practices. "
GRCC currently does not have a formal transfer policy, only an established practice. Supporting Data:
Official transcripts are evaluated for admitted degree‐seeking students Transfer credit is awarded for:
o Courses from appropriately recognized institutions Courses with grades of "C‐ "or higher (Proposed change: Courses with grades of a "C" or higher. Feedback: This is a transfer policy only, not a grading policy).
o 100‐300‐level courses (Feedback: subs/waivers process for over 300 level. Explanation: Some of GRCC 200 level courses transfer as 300 level; none of GRCC’s 200 level transfer at 400 or above. Most 400 level courses will not meet GRCC learning outcomes and be considered an exact equivalent, so elective credit would be awarded. GRCC can meet the 45 transfer credit limit without evaluating 400 level courses and it is more helpful for the student. Counseling staff would like to continue to send courses that are over 300 level to the Department for evaluation per request from the student and/or faculty.
o A maximum 47 transfer credits may be applied toward a degree at GRCC (Proposed Change: A maximum of 45 transfer credits may be applied toward a degree at GRCC. Feedback: this policy was benchmarked for residency requirements, and GRCC is in line with other institutions. Course‐to‐course credit is awarded when course content is substantially equivalent to that at Grand Rapids Community College.
o (Feedback: What does substantially mean)? Almost identical course descriptions Course content is equal to or more than GRCC's course content, never
less than Residency Requirements at like Community Colleges:
o Jackson Community College ‐ 12 hours o Lansing Community College‐ 20 hours
Implications for Action: GRCC will now have a Course Transfer Policy
Evaluation Plan: Monitored yearly through Deans' Council.
3. General Education Distribution (December 2013) Rationale:
GRCC currently lacks a process to determine whether or where a course fits into the General Education distribution system. The College does not articulate the learner outcomes it expects students to achieve as a result of satisfying the General Education distribution requirements.
33
Supporting Data: Humanities Definition: Learning or literature concerned with human culture. A branch of
study that deals with how people create the world in which they live, and how the world in which they live influences identity. Humanities is the study of the human condition in all its forms, including human interaction, expression, creativity, ideas, and values. Upon completion of a General Education Humanities course at GRCC, students will be able to:
1. Analyze scholarly and creative artifacts and activities from the past and the present in order to understand the world and himself or herself from different points of view.
2. Utilize the fundamental language and/or set of concepts associated with the scholarly and creative artifacts and activities being analyzed.
3. Articulate and understand the commonalities and differences among human beings from different time periods, cultures, and demographics through the analysis of scholarly and creative artifacts and activities.
4. Articulate and understand the ways in which various categories of human scholarship and creativity both shape and reflect cultural values.
5. Understand the role that various categories of human scholarship and creativity play in inspiring innovation, preserving culture, and encouraging empathy for all of humanity.
Social Sciences Definition: Learning and literature concerned with individual and societal relationships. A branch of science that deals with how people manage, interpret, or engage individuals, groups, institutions, societies, and cultures. Emphasis is on the factors that influence behaviors, the analysis of societal interaction, and promotion of intellectual curiosity. Upon completion of a General Education Social Science course at GRCC, students will be able to:
1. Identify questions and hypotheses important to understanding social phenomena, individual behavior and/ or the operation of societal institutions.
2. Articulate a theoretical perspective guiding the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data used to investigate social phenomena, individual behavior and/ or the operation of societal institutions.
3. Comprehend how changing social conditions affect the behavior of individuals, the operation of societal institutions and/or the perception of social phenomena.
4. Apply social and behavioral theory to explore their individual rights and responsibilities as part of a civil society
5. Use scientific evidence to describe the interplay of genes and the sociocultural context shapes the development of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors within individuals.
6. Apply behavioral and social theory to understand alternative interpersonal or cultural perspectives.
Natural Science and Mathematics Definition: Learning, literature and experimentation concerned with laws of the natural and physical world. Branches of science and mathematics that deal with how people measure, interpret, explain, define, hypothesize, analyze, research, apply , observe and study the objects, phenomena or laws of the natural and physical world. Upon completion of a General Education Natural Science course at GRCC, students will be able to:
1. Adapt and evaluate processes to find solutions to multistep or multi component problems.
2. Use calculation and measurement to solve problems, and use estimation to evaluate if the outcome to the problem is reasonable.
3. Discern relevant and irrelevant information when seeking the solutions to problems. 4. Use experimentation or practice to experience and deepen understanding of
44
scientific and mathematical theories. 5. Develop hypotheses and draw and express conclusions based on mathematical
or scientific theory and/or experimentation. 6. Apply general science or mathematics principles to explain an observed
phenomenon or the results of an experiment. Wellness Definition: Wellness is the active process of becoming aware of and making
choices toward a more successful existence. It is focused on the development of lifelong healthy habits, personal goals, and the ability to be physically active in order to create and sustain emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical, social, and environmental health and increase one's quality of life. Upon completion of a wellness course, students will be able to: 1. Apply the six dimensions of wellness to their lives. The Six Dimensions of Wellness
are: Emotional, Mental/Intellectual, Spiritual, Physical, Social, and Environmental. 2. Develop a plan to incorporate lifelong healthy habits into their lives. 3. Set personal goals for a healthy diet and safe/effective exercise training. 4. Demonstrate the ability to be physically active by meeting the requirements of
the chosen wellness course. Implications for Action:
GRCC will now have a well‐defined system of General Education Distribution. Evaluation Plan:
This policy should be reviewed again in the 2019‐2020 Academic Year.
4. Attendance Policy 8.8.A – Faculty & Attendance Policy 8.8.B – Students (December 2013)
The Academic Governing Council voted to replace the existing Policy 8.0 Faculty Attendance and Policy 8.0 Student Attendance with the Policy 8.0 Student Attendance. Changes Made:
Combined policies 8.8 A and 8.8 B to create a single attendance policy. Updated language to be consistent with current policies and practices. Omitted reference to dropping students and the No Show (NS) notation. Included wording about complying with state and federal laws. Made language consistent with that in benchmarked institutions' attendance policies.
Rationale: This policy review was part of a regularly scheduled review of college academic policies.
The current attendance policy included two sections, one for students and one for faculty members, with inconsistent language. Upon review of the current policies and comparison with benchmark institutions' policies, the Attendance Policy Committee reaffirmed the intent of the two policies and combined them into a single policy with consistent wording.
Supporting Data: The Attendance Policy Committee benchmarked attendance policies at eight other
institutions, including: Delta College, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Lansing Community College, Michigan State University, University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University. While stated in various ways, all institutions basically stated that the course instructor was responsible for establishing and implementing the attendance policy of a course.
Implications for Action: The revised policy is consistent with current academic policies and practices and
maintains the intent of the former attendance policies.
55
Evaluation Plan: This policy should be reviewed again in the 2018‐19 Academic Year.
5. Audiovisual Captioning Policy (February 2014) Proposed Policy:
All audiovisual media used as part of classroom activities, instruction, distance learning, training modules for institution personnel, campus sponsored events, and co‐curricular activities should include either closed, open, real time captions, interactive transcription, or subtitles; whichever is appropriate.
Rationale: The Americans with Disabilities Act requires GRCC to ensure access to equal and effective
communication for all students, staff, and community members. This policy would:
Ensure compliance with federal law. By providing ease of access in addition to reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, GRCC remains committed to adhering to the requirements of Sections 504 & 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended (2008).
Benefit individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing who must have captioned media. Support an inclusive environment geared towards universal design. Benefit individuals with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, or other cognitive Impairments. Benefit persons learning English as their second language. Benefit persons who see GRCC produced media productions. Benefit individuals without disabilities who have stated that captioning helps in taking
notes and improves understanding and recall. Benefit anyone in the audience when variations of sound quality or surrounding noise
cause distractions. Provide the most effective means of providing equal access to audiovisual media
(including but not limited to videos, movie clips, DVDs, and films) through the use of products with open/closed‐captioning or subtitles for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Supporting Data: This policy was developed using a team approach, with input from faculty, staff, and
administration, as well as comments from teaching and non‐teaching faculty and discussion at AGC meetings in November 2013, December 2013, and February 2014.
In addition to Federal law requirements, see: Graduation Rates:
College graduation‐ 12.8% of the hearing population graduated from college whereas 5.1% of the deaf or hard‐of‐hearing population graduated. (http://research.gallaudet.edu/Demographics/deaf‐employrnent‐2011.pdf)
As compared to a 47% dropout rate for students without disabilities, the college dropout rate for students with hearing impairments is 71%. (http://www.handsandvoices.org/articles/education/ed/V13‐1 beyondHS.htm)
Legal Precedent: UC Berkley (1999), LaTrobe University (2008), Ohio State (2009), University of Kentucky
(2011), Daytona State College (2011), University of Maryland at College Park (2013) all faced class action lawsuits from advocacy and special interest groups like the National Association for the Deaf for lack of accessibility in college resources including but not limited to: Course Content and Classroom Environments, Sporting Events and Entertainment; Safety, emergency and any other Announcements.
66
• National Association of the Deaf (NAD) vs. Netflix Implications for Action:
• Captioning in a given situation may be Required, Advised, or Not Required, as indicated in the full policy. This policy complies with a federal mandate to provide access to equal and effective communication for all students, staff, and community members.
• The purpose of this policy is to make the campus community aware of our responsibility, resources available to address shortcomings, and appropriate courses of action to take in select scenarios.
• Processes to supp01i implementation include the Captioning Request Procedure, as well as professional development offered through the Center for Teaching Excellence and Distance Learning and Instructional Technologies.
• Policies give us the ability to advocate for necessary and additional resources. • AGC policies are customarily approved by the Provost with a grace period to establish
procedure before implementation. There is always a transition period. Evaluation Plan:
• This academic policy should be reviewed again in Fall 2017.
6. Grading Procedures 7.10 (February 2014) Decision:
Withdrawal (W) Policy, part of 7.10 Grading Policy Proposed Policy:
Students may withdraw from a course and receive a W grade until the 70% date of course completion (as noted on the class roster) through the Online Center or at the Enrollment Center. After the 70% date, students may not initiate a course withdrawal or receive a W grade and the final course grade (A, B, C, D, or E) will be assigned based upon all graded and missed assignments. Instructors may not assign a W grade. However, during the last 30% of a course, students who have a documented extenuating circumstance such as an illness or injury, or the illness, injury or death of a significant other or family member can apply for a Hardship Withdrawal through the Office of the Associate Dean of Student Success and Retention. Students may apply to withdraw from a single course or multiple courses. There is no impact on the student's GPA for receiving a W grade in the Grand Rapids Community College grading system; however, other institutions may have different policies governing the impact of W grades on transfer student acceptance and/or their calculated GPA. In addition, W grades may have a negative impact on financial aid eligibility.
Rationale: Purpose for Policy Review:
During the February 2013 AGC meeting changes to the Grading Policy were approved, but not by an overwhelming majority. The WP and WF grades were eliminated, leaving faculty no options but to assign grades (A‐E or I) to students after 70% of the course was complete. Several dissent forms were submitted concerning the lack of options for faculty to help students in extenuating circumstances and an unclear Incomplete grade policy. The Provost has asked that a team be called upon to review the "I" and "70% Withdrawal Date" and propose some clarification. The I Policy is addressed in a separate Decision Paper.
Outline of Proposed Changes: The current Medical Withdrawal process was expanded to include other circumstances
and become a Hardship Withdrawal process. Students with a documented illness, injury or death involving themselves, a significant other
or a family member can apply for a Hardship Withdrawal under the proposed policy and
77
receive a W grade in a course or courses. Language regarding the potential impact of W grades on financial aid and at transfer
schools was added. Language changes were made. For example, "Students may drop a class..." is now
"Students may withdraw from a course ..." Supporting Data:
This policy was developed using a team approach, with input from the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Student Affairs, and Workforce Development, as well as comments from teaching and non‐teaching faculty and a written table exercise at the December 2013 AGC membership meeting.
The team benchmarked other Michigan community colleges as well as GRCC's major university transfer institutions.
Implications for Action: Possible Benefits:
This policy would be aligned with many of GRCC's major transfer institutions. As students go through this process they must consider the consequences of a W
grade and their financial aid situation. W grades would be more difficult to obtain, which could lead to more students
completing classes that they would have otherwise dropped. This policy change would be easily implemented, as the process for a medical
withdrawal is already established. Possible Drawbacks:
Students would have to go through a process that requires the completion of several steps before a W grade is granted.
It is likely that more students will receive failing grades. Students who withdraw cannot continue to attend class.
Evaluation Plan: This academic policy should be reviewed again in Winter 2019.
Decision: Incomplete (I) Policy, part of 7.10 Grading Policy Proposed Policy:
An incomplete (I) grade can be temporarily assigned in the event of extenuating circumstances such as illness, injury, birth of a child, death of a family member, jury duty or other situations that are beyond the control of the student and prevent completion of the course requirements during the semester. The following requirements must be met in order to receive an incomplete (I) grade:
a. The coursework up to the time of the absence has been satisfactory and in the instructor's judgment, the student can complete the required work without repeating the course or attending any class sessions in subsequent semesters.
b. Approximately 90% of the course time has elapsed or coursework has been completed as determined by the instructor.
c. An incomplete form has been completed. This form will indicate the actions the student will take to finish the course, when those actions will take place (not to exceed one year), and the grade the instructor will submit (A, B, C, D, or E) should the work remain incomplete after the allotted time. Both the student and instructor will make every effort to sign the form and a copy will be provided to the student and the instructor's Department Head/Program Director.
.
88
d. Once the coursework is completed or the allotted time lapsed, the instructor will submit an official grade change within 10 business days. If the course work is not completed and/or the instructor does not submit an official grade change, the incomplete (I) grade will default to a grade of "E" one year from the end date of the class. In the event of further unforeseen, extreme or unusual circumstances, a written appeal for an extension can be made to the Associate Dean of Hiring and Evaluation of the School where the course resides
Rationale: Purpose for Policy Review:
During the February 2013 AGC meeting changes to the Grading Policy were approved, but not by an overwhelming majority. The WP and WF grades were eliminated, leaving faculty no options but to assign grades (A‐E or I) to students after 70% of the course was complete. Several dissent forms were submitted concerning the lack of options for faculty to help students in extenuating circumstances and an unclear Incomplete grade policy. The Provost has asked that a team be called upon to review the "I" and "70% Withdrawal Date" and propose some clarification. The W Policy is addressed in a separate Decision Paper.
Outline of Proposed Changes: A statement indicating that the incomplete grade is only applicable in extenuating
circumstances was added. A statement regarding the approximate portion of the course that must be completed
(90%) in units of time or points before an incomplete grade can be assigned was added. A statement regarding the fact that the student should be able to complete the
coursework without attending the class in which the I grade was assigned during subsequent semesters was included.
The Registrar's Office will no longer receive a copy of the Incomplete Grade Form, but the DH/PD will receive and maintain a copy.
A 10‐day time frame for faculty to submit a grade change upon completion of the coursework was added.
The statement about student satisfaction with the instructor's decision was removed as grade dissatisfaction should go through the Grade Appeal Process.
Supporting Data: This policy was developed using a team approach, with input from the Schools of Arts and
Sciences, Student Affairs, and Workforce Development, as well as comments from teaching and non‐teaching faculty and a written table exercise at the December 2013 AGC membership meeting.
The team benchmarked other Michigan community colleges as well as GRCC's major university transfer institutions.
Implications for Action: This policy clarifies expectations and requirements for both the student and the faculty
member in assigning the I grade, completing coursework, and changing final grades. Evaluation Plan:
This academic policy should be reviewed again in Winter 2019.
7. Student Rights/Catalog Requirements Policy 8.5 (March 2014) Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) students are required to fulfill the graduation and program requirements of the Catalog in effect at the time they officially declare their program as a degree‐seeking student. If students change their program, they must fulfill the graduation and program requirements of the Catalog in effect for the academic year in which the student made the change. Students may petition to fulfill the graduation and program requirements of the Catalog in effect at the time of graduation instead of being governed by the above two guidelines.
99
For students declaring multiple academic programs, the date of declaration determines the Catalog requirements for each academic program. (Please see full policy language at the end) Rationale: The purpose of this policy is to clarify for GRCC students what program requirements will be used for their graduation audit, to allow students to align their course selections to these Catalog requirements. The Curriculum Operations Support Team (COST) identified the issues:
Current policy is from 1991 and has not been updated Current practice is not in line with policy With all of the GRCC curriculum work, the policy is not in the student's nor college's best
interest Current policy does not support Academic Standing Policy 8.17 that was passed in
October 2013 Supporting Data:
This policy was developed using a team approach, with representation from faculty members, Counseling, Student Support, Curriculum, and the Provost's office. This issue was discussed at AGC meetings in January, February, and March 2014.
The team identified need for revision, pulled together a cross college team of stakeholders, benchmarked 2 year and 4 year partners' processes, and developed policy. Presented to AGC for feedback, and will work with the curriculum revision team for implementation.
Implications for Action: (default) Students will utilize the catalog from the year they declared their program including any
program changes Students can elect to utilize the current catalog at time of graduation. Students have an option to appeal for extenuating circumstances Students must follow the Readmit Policy
Evaluation Plan: This academic policy should be reviewed again in Winter 2019.
8. ACT Cut Score Policy 8.27 (March 2014) Proposed Policy:
Admission to Grand Rapids Community College is open to all high school graduates, or those who have satisfactorily completed the General Education Development (GED) test or individuals 18 years or older. Grand Rapids Community College requires degree‐seeking students to submit high school transcripts with a cumulative GPA of2.0 or higher and an American College Test (ACT) score of 18 or higher in the subject areas of math, reading, and English. (Please see full policy language at the end)
Rationale: This policy, last reviewed in 2008, was up for review. Upon review of benchmarking data,
the team determined that GRCC's ACT composite score of 18 was consistent with other community colleges. The team did not recommend a change in the ACT Cut Score Policy.
Supporting Data: This policy was developed using a team approach, with representation from English and
Mathematics faculty members, the Enrollment Center, and the Student Success Center, as well as comments from teaching and non‐teaching faculty and discussion at AGC meetings in December 2013, February 2014, and March 2014.
The team benchmarked twelve other community colleges; discussed effectiveness of current policy, last updated in 2008; reviewed feedback; and edited current policy.
Implications for Action: Students may be admitted without having received a high school diploma or GED, but
must have completed either a high school diploma or GED to graduate from GRCC and to
1010
receive financial aid from GRCC. • AGC need not wait five more years to propose revised AGC cut scores, but an issue paper
would need to be prepared in order to reopen the topic for discussion. Evaluation Plan: This academic policy should be reviewed again in Spring 2019.
9. Children in the Classroom Policy 8.18 (March 2014) Proposed Policy: 1. Classroom Policy
GRCC prohibits bringing children to class and/or leaving them unattended on campus, such as halls, the library, the student center, or computer labs.
2. Campus Policy Children accompanying visitors, employees, or students of Grand Rapids Community
College must be under the constant supervision of a responsible adult while on GRCC property or on the site of any approved off‐campus class or other GRCC event. (Please see full policy language at the end)
Rationale: This policy, last reviewed in 2007, was assigned to a team for review and revision as
necessary. Children accompanying visitors, employees, or students of Grand Rapids Community
College must be under the constant supervision of a responsible adult while on GRCC property or on the site of any approved off‐campus class or other GRCC event. Members of the College community, such as, administrators, faculty, staff, or students are not authorized to assume responsibility for the caring of the children, unless the person is leaving the child in a College program sanctioned for children. Children on campus without the proper supervision may disrupt the educational process or work setting. Leaving the children unsupervised may also create a safety hazard for the children themselves or for others at the College.
Supporting Data: This policy was developed using a team approach, with representation from Psychology
and Music faculty members, Counseling, and Student Support, as well as comments from teaching and non‐teaching faculty and discussion at AGC meetings in January, February, and March 2014.
Team members reviewed the existing document and discussed it with colleagues. The team also benchmarked with GVSU, which is currently in the process of establishing a policy on children in the classroom.
Implications for Action: Under Contacts and Procedures, change Dean of Student Affairs to Associate Director of
Student Conduct and Student Satisfaction Initiative. Children accompanying visitors, employees, or students of Grand Rapids Community
College must be under the constant supervision of a responsible adult while on GRCC property or on the site of any approved off‐campus class or other GRCC event.
Children found unattended will be reported to the College police, who will follow‐up with the child to obtain information on who his or her parent or guardian is. That person will then be located and required to supervise the child or leave campus.
Evaluation Plan: This academic policy should be reviewed again in Winter 2019.
10. Student Code of Conduct (endorsement) (April 2014) Decision: Student Code of Conduct Note: This was a vote to endorse the revised Student Code of Conduct, and not a vote to approve an
1111
academic policy. Proposed Policy:
Changes to the former Student Code of Conduct include: Addition of a Student Rights section Formatting Removed Athletics section ‐ moved to their handbook Removed Student Organization section‐ moved to their handbook Added definitions for Accused student, Complainant, Cyber Stalking, Cyber Bullying,
Student Group or Organization Edited definition from "school days" to "business days" Added Interpretation and Revision section Rearranged (put in alpha order) Added Bullying and Sexual Misconduct sections Expanded sanctions section Expanded language Afforded both parties equal rights Change to appeal process Tobacco Free Update (E‐cigarettes, Medical Marijuana)
Rationale: The mission of Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC or the College) is to provide the
community with learning opportunities that enable people to achieve their goals. In order to achieve its mission, the College must foster a secure learning environment by protecting people, property and processes. The Student Code of Conduct sets forth expectations for individuals who choose to become part of the College community. Students attending GRCC are responsible for adhering to GRCC's Student Code of Conduct, rules and regulations, college policies and for compliance with all local, state and federal laws.
AGC is asked specifically to provide input on direct academic components (Academic Dishonesty, Classroom Conduct, and Student Rights); the document then moves to Cabinet for final review.
Supporting Data: Faculty focus groups were convened in spring 2013; a smaller review team included
representatives of faculty, Enrollment, General Counsel, and Student Affairs. Academic Deans and DHs/PDs provided input, and the Code was discussed at AGC meetings in January, February, and March 2014
Implications for Action: AGC has voted to endorse the revised Student Code of Conduct, which will then go to
GRCC's Cabinet for review and approval. Code review is a collaborative process; the Cabinet will receive the same information that
AGC received. AGC has decision making authority over the academic components, and Cabinet has purview
over the rest. Provost/Deans are representatives of the voice of AGC at Cabinet and can support the
decisions made by AGC if questioned. Evaluation Plan:
This policy should be reviewed again at the date determined by the GRCC Policy committee once the policy is approved by that body. At that time, we will include it on the AGC agenda for consideration of the academic portion of the document.
Response from Provost: The Provost endorses the Student Code of Conduct as endorsed by the AGC effective August
13, 2014.
1212
Updates and Presentations Throughout the year, faculty, academic administrators, and staff made presentations and submitted written updates of work related to campus‐wide issues and to previous AGC decisions. Details for each report and presentation are available at the AGC website, http://cms.grcc.edu/agc. Dates listed indicate the month when the update/presentation took place. Some issues will be scheduled to return to AGC for further updates.

September 2013 President’s Remarks Issue Paper: E‐Learning Strategies to Promote Student Success Proposed issue regarding the success rates of students in online courses. AGC determined that the issue needs to be better defined and requested more information; i.e. policies for taking online classes and what makes students eligible to take an online course. The vote was postponed until a clearer definition can be developed and AGC requested that the Distance Learning Faculty Advisory Team address this issue.
December 2013
Textbook Pricing Jennifer Rockafellow, Course Materials Manager ‐ Follett, thanked members for contributing to the huge strides made in HEOA compliance from the Fall 2012 to present. She noted that the improvements have allowed the bookstore to purchase books from students sooner, allowed the opportunity to pursue rental option, and to obtain books from wholesalers. It has also saved on expenses and allowed more time to solve problems. Jennifer reviewed the college's use of Rent‐A‐ Text, and noted that has saved students approximately 50% off the suggested retail price of a new
1313
text. She asked members to contact her with suggestions for texts to make available through Rent‐ A‐Text. Jennifer also reviewed the use of Digital text. This type of text is mobile friendly, and can be accessed on all mobile devices. It also allows students to highlight and take notes just as they would in a physical text book, and also has an option to print notes taken to study. Jennifer stated that students have the option to try the Digital text now, and buy it later as well as the option to have the text read to them. She noted that it is compatible with Black Board through the use of an access code given to the student, and requires no tech support.
February 2014
Institutional Review Board (IRB) Donna Kragt, Dean of Institutional Research & Planning, provide an overview of IRB in an effort to increase awareness. Many people do not realize that they need to request permission to do research at GRCC. Donna stated that rules for research are laid out by the federal government, and noted that if researchers are collecting information from their own students to make improvements, they do not need to request permission. However, researchers who are collecting information from GRCC students to write a paper, thesis, or dissertation need to request permission. Donna went on to review the history of the IRB, and noted that GRCC created its first IRB in 2007. She noted that some schools utilize an option called 'renting an IRB.' This is done through use of the Western Institutional Review Board. Donna also noted that all IRB members must go through a six hour online training certification through CITI. Michigan Transfer Agreement Erin Busscher, Transfer & Articulation Coordinator, provided members an overview of the MACRAO agreement. She noted that the agreement facilitates transfer to 4 year institutions, and assists students in meeting their general education requirements. Erin stated that many colleges participate in the MACRAO agreement. She also noted that students can have "MACRAO Agreement Satisfied" posted on their transcripts. This provides a way for the 4 year institution to know the student has completed their general education requirements. Erin proceeded to inform members about the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). She noted that in 2012 the Michigan Legislature inquired about how students were transferring to 4 year institutions. As a result, the MACRAO agreement was reviewed, which had not been done in a long time. The desire was for transfer students to be treated the same as native students, and for the agreement to be easier for students to use. Katie Daniels, Curriculum Specialist, reviewed the differences between the MACRAO and MTA agreements, noting a couple of things in terms of advising students. She sighted English Composition as an example, noting that if students intended to transfer from and graduate from GRCC, they must take the English Composition sequence to satisfy the MTA.
April 2014
Standards of Progress International Students Policy Eric Mullen, Associate Dean of Enrollment Management, opened by noting that he was tasked with looking at standards of progress for international students. He stated that currently there is no policy to address this, and noted that the current policy does contain elements that apply to GRCC’s international population. Eric noted that currently we have information specific to international students in the catalog, on the website for admissions, and on the international student application. Eric stated that Deb DeWent, Executive Associate, found a policy that dates back to 1991. The first recommendation is not to write a new policy, but to refer to the current policy. The reasoning behind this recommendation is that international student standards are contingent upon federal standards, and GRCC wants to ensure alignment with those standards. The second recommendation is to draft a new section that addresses admissions. While reviewing the international student policy, it was discovered that there is no admissions policy. A draft of this section will be brought to AGC in 2015‐16 for review.
