PATHWAY TO THE FUTURE HEALTH CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION, MATH AND SCIENCE OVERVIEW El Paso Community College Rio Grande Campus is strategically located near the center of the downtown business
district, nestled in the historical Sunset Heights District, and is conveniently located a few blocks off the I‐10 Mesa
Exit. This Campus has been steadily expanding since it first opened in 1975. Enrollment for Rio Grande Campus
averages over 4,650 students in credit classes each semester.
Unique to the Rio Grande Campus is the Health Career & Technical Education, Math and Sciences Division, which
provides credit certificate and associate degree programs with health career students for the entire college
district. Health Career Programs and courses are found at MDP, VV, and TM as well as RG. Most of the credit
health career programs require specialized admissions, have limited enrollment, and must adhere to specialized
accrediting agency requirements. All of the credit health career programs are currently accredited recognized or
approved by various states and/or national agencies. Patient‐care clinics are also located at the Rio Grande
Campus Border Health Clinic.
In addition to the credit programs, a grant‐funded program seeks to improve the recruitment and retention to
minority and disadvantaged high school graduates into the health programs. A summer institute provides
intensity preparation in the Basic Sciences, Math, English, Reading, and Study Skills. Field trips to health care
agencies and university health science centers as well as guest speakers assist the participants in obtaining an
overview of the variety of opportunities in health care. Throughout the year, staff and Division faculty participate
in career fair activities at local high schools, colleges, and elementary schools to provide information to future
health care professional.

PART I ‐ INFORMATION FOR THE NEW SEMESTER ADOPTED TEXTBOOKS Instructors are expected to use the textbooks specified for the courses they teach. Students receiving financial
aid are able to charge textbooks at the college bookstore. There should be no reason for these students not
having textbooks the first week of class unless a particular textbook is not in stock. Please let the Dean or your
Faculty Coordinator know of any bookstore related issues in a timely manner!
ADMITTANCE TO CLASS Only students who have officially enrolled in your course and section are to be permitted to attend your class.
Check each student's registration receipt on the first day he/she attends class with our first day roster (available
on Pipeline or from the Division Office). The student may remain in the class only if the receipt shows the proper
course and section number, and that the student has paid his/her fees.
If the course/section is incorrect or if the receipt does not show the student has paid the fees, the student should
be immediately directed to the Student Services Coordinator at the Student Services Building, located at 103
Montana Street, Rio Grande Campus or other campuses. The instructor is not to permit the student to remain in
the class.
MAXIMUM ROOM CLASS Each classroom has a maximum number of seats, which meets the space requirements established by facilities
and based upon city/fire marshal guidelines. You MAY not move additional chairs into the room and allow
additional students to stay in class.
Faculty must verify that all students in their classes have met the prerequisites for enrolling in the course.
Completion of the previous courses, appropriate reading grade level, or placement test results can be used to
verify proper enrollment. Prerequisites are listed in the paragraph describing courses in the course description
section of the current College Catalog. Do this checking the first day student attends class. This will ensure that
students who need to change courses can do so before the census date.

CHALLENGE EXAMS Any students enrolled in courses with approved challenge exams may challenge the course up to the census date
for the course. A non‐refundable fee payable to any of the College's cashiers will be required. Upon taking and
passing the exam, the student will receive credit for the course and be eligible for a refund. Questions regarding
the amount of refund should be referred to the college cashiers. Student not currently enrolled in a course may
challenge at any time. Challenge exam lists are available at the testing center. IF YOUR COURSE DOES NOT HAVE
A CHALLENGE EXAM, you may submit one to the Dean for approval at any time.
IMPORTANT: In order for a student to enroll in another course (following the successful challenge), he/she must
take the challenge prior to the end of late registration. Students not enrolled may take the challenge exam at any
time during the semester.
COMMUNICATION Questions regarding staffing; College, Campus and Division policies and procedures; instructional methodology;
course objectives; class management policies or other class related matters should be directed to the appropriate
Instructional Coordinator or the Dean.
In addition to the Faculty Coordinator, a Student Services Coordinator is available at the Student Services, located
at 103 Montana Street, Monday through Friday to assist faculty and student facility concerns.
SYLLABUS The course syllabus is an official contract to the student of the nature and objectives of the course. The syllabus
should be distributed to all students the first week of classes. The syllabus should be reviewed with the class, and
any points in question clarified; especially any questions regarding attendance, course pursuit, and reinstatement
policies and procedures. Changes to the course syllabus must be in writing and distributed to the students.
Effective FALL 2010, all course syllabi most also be posted on the college website. (Copies of these documents
must be dated and submitted to the Division office each semester)
ENROLLMENT SUMMARY AND CERTIFIED ROSTER An enrollment summary will be available on line on the first day of classes. This document will show the students
who are officially enrolled in your class.
Periodically, faculty will receive printouts through campus mail showing all student or instructor initiated
withdrawal and reinstatement actions. This information should be reconciled with your records, and any
differences should be reported to the Registrar’s Office.
GRADE RECORD Instructors should be sure that all grades used in calculating a student's final grade are included on the Grade
Record. The title of the assignment and points, percentage or letter grade should also be recorded.
IMPORTANT: The criteria used for assigning the final grade (as appears in the course syllabus) should be placed in
the upper right hand corner. The Grade Record will be submitted to the registrar's office at the end of the
semester. A computer version of the grade record may be submitted in place of the institutional grade record
as long as the same information is on the computer record. Letter grades for the course must be recorder
online in Banner.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ‐ IT SERVICE DESK ‐ If you need IT Service assistance please call the service desk or fill up a work order form for
computer, printers, college E‐mail, and access to network services at: [email protected]
Submitting a Work Order It is strongly preferred that the actual user of the unit having a problem calls the
IT Service Desk at 831‐6440 personally. This is to provide both the user and the IT Service Desk with the best
chance at resolving the problem without having to send a technician. It is exceedingly difficult to troubleshoot
an issue with a second or third party attempting to translate the problem from another source.
You may also email your request to: [email protected] while attempting to troubleshoot the problem,
the IT Service Desk may ask the user to reboot their PC. Many errors users encounter are minor, temporary
and easily resolved with a simple reboot. User compliance with this measure is critical in ensuring that
problems not requiring the presence of a PC technician are filtered out.
To expedite the Work Order process, the user must have the following information when calling in a
request: An EPCC E‐mail Address (the work order number for their request is e‐mailed to that address)
First/Last Name
EPCC Phone Number
Campus
Department
Room Number
EPCC Tag number for the unit affected
Unit Type / Model (for Warranty Purposes)
A detailed description of the problem
Once this information is input by the IT Service Desk, the request will be assigned to the tech on duty at that campus. Some campuses have more than one tech assigned and the work orders will be distributed evenly between them. Multiple requests (up to five requests) in the same room will be assigned to one tech, with other incoming requests being distributed to the other techs.

PART II ‐ FACULTY EXPECTATIONS The following faculty expectations are based upon college procedures, division guidelines, accreditation
guidelines, and discipline approved procedures. They are restated in this format for clarification of
responsibilities. Additional information about these items may be found in the EPCC Faculty Handbook, Catalog,
Policies and Procedures Manuals, and/or Faculty Minutes.
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, the term "faculty" refers to both full time and part time faculty members.
ADOPTED TEXTBOOKS OR MANUALS FOR FACULTY Instructors are expected to use the textbooks specified for the courses they have been assigned to teach. Get to
know your text material. Read the preface and any other special instructions to the teacher. Obtain any special
teachers' manuals (if available).
BAD WEATHER Classes will be held as scheduled during bad weather unless instructors are notified as follows:
Radio and television announcements indicating that classes are canceled
The EPCC web site indicates that classes are canceled
The Faculty Coordinator indicates that classes are canceled
Tejano Alert indicates classes are canceled
It should be noted that this notification often occurs AFTER students and faculty may be starting towards an early
clinical learning experience. SAFETY is paramount. If it is not SAFE for you or your student to drive, use common
sense. NOTE: Official notice of campus closure is initiated only by the President
CAMPUS APPEARANCE A priority for the Rio Grande Campus this academic year is to continue to improve the appearance of the campus.
Please do your part in keeping the campus clean and ask that your students do the same. Report any problems in
writing (e‐mail is best!) to the Dean ([email protected]).
GRADE SCANNERS, AND OTHER FORMS Remember to submit grades, grade reports, and other rosters and forms in a timely manner. Completion of these
reports is critical to receipt of financial aid checks by students and completion of state reports, which impact the
funding for courses from the state. When rosters and reports are not picked up or turned in appropriately, the
Vice President of Instruction and the Health Career & Technical Ed., Math & Science Campus Dean are notified on
a daily basis until they are completed. When notices of delinquent rosters and reports are received, the faculty
member will also receive daily calls from Division staff as well as possible e‐mails and/or written memoranda
regarding this delinquency. Pick up and turn in your rosters as soon as you see the posted signs on the doors of
the campus! Continued failure to comply with these requirements may result in disciplinary action.
CHANGE OF GRADE AND/OR INCOMPLETE A copy of the Grade Record showing the change and a statement explaining the reason for grade must accompany
requests from instructors for a change of grade (including incomplete) change. (See “FORMS” folder in a separate
file). Change of grade forms should be submitted to the Division office. Change of grade forms may be obtained
from the Registrar’s office at any campus.
Before submitting a Change of Grade Form to your Dean, please attach the following:
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE28
1. Updated Grade Record: Fill in grades for incomplete work that was submitted. Line through the old
grade on grade record, indicate new grade, and initial the change. If the change of grade is because of an
original grade given in error, please indicate the change, line through the old grade on grade record,
indicate the new grade, and initiate the change.
2. Memo/Supporting Documentation: Please attach memo/supporting documentation for change of grade.
CLASSROOMS All requests for classroom changes are to be initiated with the Division office. When space has been identified
and reserved, the instructor will be notified and can move to the new room. A Schedule Revision Form (SRF) must
be processed. DO NOT take it upon you to change classrooms. An empty classroom does not necessarily mean
that the room is available.
STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND COURSE PURSUIT Guidelines on student attendance and course pursuit should be stated in the course syllabi. Become familiar with
the college and division procedures and keep it in mind when determining whether or not to withdraw a student
for lack of course pursuit.
Prior to dropping a student for lack of maintaining satisfactory course pursuit, every effort should be made to
assist the student. Missing one test and one homework assignment is not sufficient to demonstrate lack of course
pursuit. However, a student who consistently fails to submit assignments or take tests can be withdrawn from the
course. The College and Division want its students to stay in class. If they put forth an effort and are making
progress, then they should be considered to be meeting the requirements of course pursuit.
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE29
HEALTH CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION MATH AND SCIENCE COURSE PURSUIT CRITERIA Any statement that applies to your course or program should be included in the syllabus.
Criteria for Course Pursuit ‐ In order to establish guidelines for determining when a student has ceased to pursue
the Course objectives, the Health Career & Technical Education, Math & Science Division has set the following
standards:
1. The student must adhere to the attendance requirement of course _ . In order to
pursue the course, the student must attend minimum of hours of instruction.
2. The student will be able to make‐up number of hours of theory and hours of clinic as arranged
by instructor.
3. Tardiness will be defined as being minutes or less late to class/clinical sessions and minutes
or less late to theory sessions. Students will be allowed events or less of tardiness, after which
the tardiness will be considered an absence.
4. If required by instructor, student also must follow the standards established in the Health Career &
Technical Education, Math & Science Student Handbook and/or program addendum. The student is
bound by standards in the Health Career & Technical Education, Math & Science Student Handbook as
evidenced by the return of a signed/dated acknowledgment sheet.
5. Where the student continues to pursue the course objectives but is receiving failing grades, he/she will
remain eligible to complete the course, except in instances where unsafe practice occurs.
6. The student must appear for examinations, presentations, or other required class activities and submit
required papers, projects and/or reports as identified in the course syllabus/calendar.
Failure of the student to follow the above will indicate that the student is no longer pursing the objectives of the
course and may result in faculty‐initiated withdrawal or a grade of "F" Revised: 2010
Reviewed: Spring/2010

FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE31
CLINICAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES Assistance and instruction are to be provided to students when need is identified by either the student or
instructor, except during an evaluation situation. Evaluation situations should be clearly identified to the student
in advance and/or requested by the student. Even in evaluation situations, however, faculty should intervene to
prevent unsafe practice.
For each rotation of students, faculty is expected to provide an appropriate orientation to the affiliate and specific
department/unit, which supplements the on‐line community‐wide orientation. This orientation should include
demonstration of appropriate procedures and equipment which are unique to that affiliate or which students
have not yet mastered.
Faculty members are expected to complete any formative or summative evaluations of students in a timely
manner. All students should review the written evaluations, and sign that the evaluation has been reviewed with
them. This should occur on the day of the evaluation or the next class day when appropriate. Rotation
evaluations should be completed by the end of the rotation or as otherwise scheduled on the course calendar.
The student needs this information to continue to improve their performance as they progress to other clinical
rotations.
Faculty are expected to submit grades from clinical evaluations and written clinical assignments to the
appropriate course responsible faculty member for recording on the grade report and calculation of the final
course grade. Grades should be submitted as soon as possible after evaluation of the course materials or clinical
rotation.
Faculty members are expected to guide student clinical learning experiences to meet the stated course objectives.
However, when the patient census does not allow for meeting of specific objectives, the faculty member is
expected to adapt the learning experiences and objectives to provide for expanded experience and learning by
the student. This may include demonstrating procedures not yet covered in class when the opportunity presents
itself in the clinical setting, attending in‐services, discussion of case studies, review of patient records, review of
prior skills, review of equipment function to include maintenance and troubleshooting, or other appropriate and
related activities.
Students and faculty are to evaluate the clinical learning experiences at the affiliate at the end of each rotation.
Generic forms are available in the Division office and a copy is attached for your use if a program specific form has
not been developed. These should be submitted to clinical or program coordinator for compilation and review no
later than the end of the semester. Identified areas of concern regarding an affiliate should indicate a review of
that affiliate by the clinical and program coordinator, with recommendations being determined by the discipline
faculty and documented in discipline minutes. Refer to next page for sample forms. (See “FORMS” folder in a
separate file).

GUIDELINES FOR ISSUING A DISCIPLINE CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION Approved VP Steve Smith and Instructional Leadership Team 02/27/2013
Instructional Deans Handbook Guidelines
OBJECTIVE: To identify the process a discipline/program coordinator will follow to issue a discipline certificate
of completion if required by program’s accreditation agency
Procedure (guidelines):
1. Discipline may issue a certificate of completion for a graduate if graduation office issued certificate or
official transcript does not satisfy accreditation agency’s requirements (e.g. verification of course
completion, inclusion of statement of accreditation, accrediting agency logo, etc.).
2. Faculty coordinator will verify students’ course completion and/or graduation with graduation office by
requesting list of actual completers/graduates for that semester.
3. Faculty coordinator will issue Certificate of Completion according to requirements of program’s
accrediting agency.
a. The certificate will be printed on an official El Paso Community College certificate form, obtained
from Marketing which includes the college logo.
b. The certificate should also have the logo of the accrediting/approval agency which is
electronically added by the coordinator when preparing the certificates.
4. Program issued certificate of completion must contain one the following numbering systems:
a. Year of Graduation and followed by semester of graduation and then listed number for student in
the verification letter of graduation office’s.

STUDENT INFORMATION FOR BACKGROUND CHECK AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TESTING
EL PASO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Health Career & Technical Education, Math and Science
STUDENT INFORMATION FOR
BACKGROUND CHECK AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TESTING
In order to ensure that health care facilities are in compliance with their accreditation guidelines, all students
enrolled in specified health‐related educational courses and programs are required to undergo a background
clearance and substance abuse screening. Students who fail to obtain clearance will be prohibited from
admission or enrollment in specified programs/courses for a period of one‐year.
NOTE: Substance Abuse Screening should be completed no more than 3 months (90 days) prior to beginning
clinical.
NOTE: Students who withdraw from health‐related coursework for one semester or longer, are required to
repeat substance abuse screening and/or background checks testing upon re‐enrolling in health‐related
courses/programs.
NOTE: Students are responsible for all costs associated with substance abuse screening and background checks,
including any required repeat checks.
To initiate your background and substance abuse screen clearance, go to www.elpasoex.com (America Databank)
and follow the process listed on the web page. Make sure you select only the option(s) that you need at that
time‐it will affect your cost. Your clearances will be sent directly to the dean/director of your program at the
college. Only background and substance abuse testing from this approved vendor will be accepted.
There are two levels of background screening ‐ Level I is required for all students, while Level II is only required for
students already licensed or certified in any area.
Level I check the following items: Cost is $37.00
1. Social Security Number Verification
2. Criminal Search ( 7 years or up to 5 criminal searches
3. Employment Verification (Include reason for separation and eligibility for re‐hire for each
employer)
4. Violent Sexual Offender and Predator Registry Search
5. OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities
6. GSA List of Parties Excluded from Federal Programs
7. US Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), List of Specially Designated Nationals (SDN)
8. State Exclusion List http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/OIE/exclusionlist/exclusion.asp

FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE42
NOTE: If you do not have a Social Security Card, use all zeros (example: 000‐00‐000). You will then need to bring a
photo ID to finalize your background clearance.
Level II checks the following items: Cost is $59.00
1. all of level elements
2. employment verification (includes reason for separation and eligibility for re‐hire for each employer)
3. License/certification verification
The following findings on the background screening will prevent your participation in clinical courses:
1. Identification on the list of ineligible persons
2. Any criminal conviction identified as exclusion by the affiliates. Incident listed on the Exclusion Guidelines.
Substance Abuse Testing: Cost is $26.50
1. An email will be sent to you with a reference number after payment has been made. The information on
the email will include the reference number and information on the approved laboratories as to where to
go take your substance abuse test. From the day you receive your email you have only five (5) days to
take your test. If you go beyond the five (5) days, you will have to re‐pay and re‐take the test again to be
cleared for clinical.
2. Your results will be sent to the Dean/Director of your program.
Upon review of your background check and/or substance abuse test results, you will receive a letter of clearance
or non‐clearance, which you will submit to your program director/coordinator.
You must also complete a substance abuse test within ninety (90) days of starting your clinical course. Check with
your program coordinator to verify timelines so you do not repeat taking the test too soon.
Deadlines: There are different enrollments or ranking dates for each of the health programs/courses. Please
check with the information in the catalog as well as with your health career counselor, program coordinator, dean
or director to make sure you have completed all requirements. Normal processing can take place in a few days,
but sometimes verification requirements may take even a few months to complete some background check
follow‐up requirements. If you do not order your background check or substance abuse screening timely, then
you may miss your deadline.
If you have any questions, contact the Dean of Health Career & Technical Education, Math and Science Division at

clinical office hours for evening and weekend classes should be at a convenient time for those students. Office
hours are to be submitted in writing to the Instructional Coordinator and the Division office at the beginning of
each semester. Both full‐time and part‐time faculty is expected to maintain office hours as required by the faculty
workload procedures.
Office hours are to be provided verbally and in writing to students. The purpose of office hours is to assist
students with instructional issues. Office hours are to be printed on syllabi.
In addition, each full‐time faculty member should post office hours outside his/her office. If you are not in your
office during the scheduled time, please post your whereabouts on your office door. Also, let the Division staff
know where you can be reached.
Full time faculty is expected to work 40 hours per week. This includes a student contact hour requirement of 21
hours per week or 15 credit hours, depending upon the assignment. The remainder of the 40 hours includes
office hours, meetings, and preparation or grading time. Summer hours will vary from the 21/15 requirement due
to the shorter scheduling of courses. Check the faculty assignment/action form for your assignment each
semester.
MEETINGS In accordance with the existing faculty workload procedure, all full time faculty are required to attend (1)
discipline and (2) division meetings unless they are in a scheduled class or have an excused absence (e.g. illness,
approved travel). Leave Forms should be submitted prior to or immediately following absences. Part time faculty
is strongly encouraged to participate in Discipline and Division meetings.

College's six Executive teams. It reflects all employee ranks and students, and is divided by gender,
ethnicity, and campus/site, within the District.
Input on all decisions and dissemination of information is from the bottom up, top down, and across the
organization.
The District Wide Institutional Effectiveness Committee oversees the office of Institutional Effectiveness.
The committee is charged with making recommendations to the President on all aspects of the
Institutional Effectiveness Process at El Paso Community College. This process includes strategic planning,
unit review and institutional improvement. It is the responsibility of the Committee to support the
linkage of planning, resource allocation and assessment with the intended outcome being continuous
improvement college wide.
The Committee serves as a clearinghouse for the coordination of these efforts. Members are responsible

5. What are the faculty members in other disciplines doing in the classroom?
Faculty development workshops also provide wonderful opportunities to see what other faculty are
doing in their areas. Attendance at the Southwest Seminar for Great Teaching would also provide faculty
members an opportunity to see what other faculty are doing in their disciplines.
6. Can students "challenge" classes? Which ones? What is the process?
Yes, students can challenge classes by taking Challenge Exams available at each of the Testing Centers. A
listing of all challenge exams is available at the Testing Center at each campus. A copy of the challenge
exam process is also available on‐line.
7. Where do student fees go? What is the technology fee? How is that money spent?
A portion of the student fees is designated for specific areas of the college, such as; the parking fee is
used for public safety (i.e., hiring more security officers for the college, installing additional lighting and
telephones in the parking lots, etc.), and the athletic fee is used to support the athletic programs at EPCC.
The remainder of the student’s fees goes directly into the general revenue account which is used to
support general institutional needs (i.e., employee wages, building maintenance, utilities, etc.) A
percentage of the money that is collected from student tuition and fees is used specifically to improve
technology and equipment (i.e., purchase of computers, software, laboratory equipment, etc.) at El Paso
Community College.
8. What is the College teaching/learning philosophy?
Please consult the Employee Handbook, the Faculty Handbook, and individual Discipline's Mission

FIELD TRIPS A field trip form should be submitted for tours and special activities conducted at off campus sites. Routine
clinical activities do not require a field trip form. Forms may be obtained in the Division Office and should be
submitted one week prior to the event.
FINAL EXAMS In some courses the final/exit exam is administered prior to the days designated by the College for the final
exams. This occurs for two reasons: (1) allows time for the scoring and return of the results, and (2) allow time
for retakes. This early testing does not excuse classes from meeting during the college specified final exam time.
Instructors not holding classes during the designated final exam class time will have hourly pay adjusted
accordingly. If exams are scheduled at a different time, please notify the Division office of the date, time, and
location in case of emergencies.
HOSPITALITY REQUESTS Requests for hospitality (meals, refreshments, etc.) must be submitted to the Division Office at least 3 weeks prior
to the event to prevent problems in arrangements. Request forms and the menus are available in the Division
office. Off campus catering is acceptable for events not being held in the cafeteria area. A list of previously used
caters is also available in the Division office.
ROOM REQUESTS FOR MEETINGS If you need to require a room for a committee meeting, a professional association meeting, student tutoring, etc.,
rooms may be requested through Student Services, CBS Building, located at 103 Montana Street. The Rio Grande
Conference Center (RG A119/121 and “the Little Temple” are scheduled through the Campus Dean’s Office.
TENURE Full‐time faculty, who are employed as probationary, tenure track employee, must complete an annual evaluation
for tenure. Development plans may be initiated when appropriate. Probationary full‐time faculty is eligible to
apply to tenure during their 5th year of employment.
TRAVEL Out‐of‐Town Travel
If you are planning to submit an abstract to make a presentation at a conference, your proposal and out‐of‐
town travel MUST be approved in advance. If you are submitting a proposal and are going to pay your own
way, the Dean needs to know you are submitting a proposal and that your absence is planned. Failure to
comply with this process may result in your trip being non‐refunded and/or not approved. Expenditure
reports for trips completed are due within 10 days of return from the trip.
The out‐of‐town travel procedure, copy attached, states that the senior level cabinet officers have the
authority to request checks for travel advances an hotels when an EPCC employee does not have an a
personal credit card to be used for travel expenses.
In‐Town Travel Only one request for reimbursement can be submitted during each month. Even if the reimbursement is for
different months, you cannot submit multiple reports during a single month. For example, if you do one
report for September, and one for October, and get them signed in November; you cannot take the one for
September to the Cashier on November 5, and then take the October one to the cashier on November 15.
However, you can submit both September's and October's on the same day on November if the combined
total is under $100.00. You can also submit both September's and October's reports together for a check
request in November IF the combined total is over $100.00 and it has been signed by the Campus Dean.

HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE63
In town travel is for additional trips made from campus to other sites and back during the day. It does not
reimburse you for the initial trip to the college or back home. If your Faculty Coordinator requires review
prior to submission, please make sure their signature is obtained before submitting it to the Division office.
Remember that In‐town Travel for August (or prior months) must be submitted ASAP due to the change in
budget year. The above guidelines are now being enforced and tracked. If a violation occurs, a warning will
be given for the first violation, and then additional disciplinary action will be taken.
Travel Arrangements According to College Procedures The travel request form is to be submitted and approved by the Campus Dean and Vice President of
Instruction prior to confirming any travel or hotel arrangements.
Travel request must be submitted to Accounts Payable a minimum of 15 days prior to the date of departure.
This means it must be submitted to the Campus Dean and Vice President of Instruction in time to meet those
timelines. Failure to meet that timeline may mean that checks for registration or travel advances are not able
to be processed. Earlier submission is requested to allow for lower prices on air travel.
Travel Request Form Form must be completely filled out. Copies of the registration and hotel form must be attached (already filled
out). Address information on where to mail registration checks must be complete. Do not use abbreviations
for agencies. Copies of the brochure or letter with information about the planned activity must be attached
to the travel request form.
Travel Advances Require submission of a memo (form in Division office) requesting the travel advance. The advance must be
approved by the Vice President of Instruction before Accounts Payable will cut check for the advance.
Advances are not automatically approved. Usually, you are requested to pay for expenses and submit a
request for reimbursement.
Travel Expenditure Form Form is to be submitted within 10 working days following the trip. Any money due to the College is to be
paid at that time. Receipts must be attached to the expenditure form. If the College owes you money, a
check will be forwarded from Accounts Payable.
Roberta Rodriguez has been designated by the College as our travel representative. She has the responsibility
to make all plane reservations (and car rental) arrangements. She has the responsibility to select the most
economical means which may mean it may not be your preferred air carrier or your preferred time. If you
have special requests, please put them in writing. She will attempt to meet your requests IF it is within the
college guidelines.
Please note that incomplete travel requests will be returned for completion. This may delay
making travel arrangements, may increase cost above the budgeted amount, or may prevent an
advance from being approved.
Late submission of travel requests may result in disapproval of the trip request or may increase costs above the budgeted amount as well as prevent an advance from being approved.
Making your own arrangements prior to approval of a trip request may result in non‐‐
reimbursement for expenses incurred.
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE64
PETTY CASH PETTY CASH LIMIT IS $100 PER DAY ‐ Receipts from the same day's purchases cannot be split to meet that limit. If
more than $100.000 is spent on the same day, a check request must be submitted for reimbursement for the total
spent. For example, if you go to Office Depot and spent $125.00, you cannot split your purchases into one receipt
for $50 and a second receipt for $75 and submit them for petty cash reimbursement on two different days. The
$125.00 may be reimbursed by a check request.
IN‐TOWN CONFERENCES For faculty wishing reimbursement for in town conferences, there are two methods which may be used:
1. Faculty may submit their registration form directly to the sponsoring agency. Upon completion of the
conference, the receipt for the registration fee or canceled check may be submitted for reimbursement.
2. Faculty may submit a check request and a copy of the registration form to the Division office at least 3
weeks in advance of the registration deadline. Accounts Payable will then send the registration fee
directly to the sponsoring agency by check.

PROFESSIONALISM Faculty is expected to be role models for the students at all times. This includes areas of professional
appearance, behavior, and action.
Communication with students about other faculty members or other students is inappropriate, except as noted in the college's grievance process.
Faculty should not solicit positive or negative comments or communication from students about another faculty member.
There is to be no retaliation by faculty against students who make a complaint about the faculty member or the program.
Retaliation by students against faculty for a failing or low evaluation/exam score, etc. should not be encouraged or supported by faculty members.
Faculty members are responsible for maintaining their clinical skills, licensure or certification and their continuing education in the field.
Individual faculty members are strongly encouraged to utilize the clinical or classroom evaluation of faculty by students at the end of each clinical rotation or class, whether that course is identified as an official course for evaluation. Faculty is strongly encouraged to share these evaluation results with the Instructional Coordinator and/or Campus Dean. When such evaluations are part of a discipline approved program evaluation plan, evaluation of all faculty by the students at the end of the semester or other time interval are acceptable. (A copy of the current form is attached for your reference; additional copies are available in the Division office).
Faculty is expected to arrive on time for all class and clinical activities as scheduled except when absence or tardiness is due to approved college or discipline activities and/or unanticipated emergencies.
Faculty is expected to maintain class and clinical hours as scheduled. Classes should not be dismissed early except for unusual circumstances or when alternative arrangements have been approved. Extended coffee breaks and meal breaks should not be allowed for students or faculty members. EPCC receives state funding based on course contact hours.
Faculty are expected to provide remediation for students, whether academically or clinically, based on the individual student needs. These efforts should be documented. Remediation may take place during class, clinical, laboratory, or office hours. Other arrangements for individual remediation or group remediation may also be appropriate. Faculty is expected to follow discipline approved procedures on such items as grading, absences, tardiness, student uniforms, and student evaluation.

MEMORANDUMS TO ALL INSTRUCTORS‐ EPCC DISTRICT E‐MAILS
MEMORANDUM
TO: All Employees FROM: Joyce Cordell; Director, Marketing & Community Relations Ruben Gallardo; Director, Purchasing and Contract Management DATE: August 28, 2014 SUBJECT: District Advertising and Printing/Social Media ______________________________________________________________________________
EPCC Procedure 2.04.02.10, “Control and Management of Publications,” states that, “No printing will be contracted to an outside vendor without prior approval of the director of Marketing and Community Relations, who will evaluate the need for such a contract." All printing of the District’s material, including advertisements, must first be approved by the Marketing and Community Relations Department before it is contracted or printed.
All print requisitions will be initiated by Marketing and Community Relations. However, requisitions for promotional items can be initiated by individual departments, but will not be approved until the Marketing and Community Relations Department sees the final proof. In addition, the Director of Marketing and Community Relations must receive a final proof (electronic or physical) of all EPCC requested items from the vendor prior to printing.
The reasons for this procedure are to ensure the quality and consistency in the District’s image, message, logo standards and EEO Statement. In addition, the Marketing and Community Relations Department is responsible for the District’s overall printing budget. This Department not only monitors this overall budget, but is also responsible for presenting it to the Board of Trustees for approval on an annual basis.
EPCC has also initiated Procedure 2.05.01.70, which creates guidelines for the use of social media by college entities. In brief, the procedure requires that college organizations identify themselves through logo and disclaimer, where applicable, and notify the Marketing and Community Relations Department, so the college may follow and like your page.
Additionally, Procedure 4.10.04.14, “Purchasing Procedures,” states that “The procurement of goods and services acquired prior to obtaining proper authorization through the requisition process is considered to be an ‘unauthorized transaction.’ This type of transaction directly violates established College purchasing procedures. Any employee who places an order for goods and/or services without following the requisition process violates College purchasing procedures. College employees, who generate financial liability for the College without being authorized to do so, will be subject to disciplinary action, including suspension or termination.”
Also, “The Purchasing Department is the only authorized entity, within the College, to issue Purchase Orders or Contracts.” All printing purchase orders will be opened by the Marketing and Community Relations Office. Please take a moment to read these procedures. All of the District’s Policies and Procedures may be found at http://www.epcc.edu/InstitutionalEffectiveness/Pages/Policies.aspx. Thank you for your assistance with these matters.

EPCC COPYRIGHTS PROCEDURES We are all part of the El Paso Community College family. Therefore it is important we all work together in putting
forth a unified message in a proper and legal manner. Being an educational institution, EPCC deals with many
aspects of the use of copyrighted materials. We hope the following guidelines will help you in your endeavors and
make you more familiar with the help the EPCC Marketing Department can offer.
Outside of the classroom, copyright laws are the same for educational institutions and the general public. If you
can see it, read it, hear it or watch it, copyright laws apply. If you are the person who originally created it, you
hold the rights to it. If you are not the one who originally created it, you must have written permission to use it
from the creator. Even if you or a staff member created something to use in a flyer, poster, etc., El Paso
Community College requests that you give written permission and keep it on file. You cannot use any creative or
intellectual work without written permission from the creator.
When making items such as flyers or advertisements, beware of websites that say “free” pictures or photographs.
The majorities of these sites do charge a base fee, require you to credit the photographer or have requirements
for internet use only. Many of the photos from these sites are of a small file size and would not copy to print very
well anyway. The only places that truly have free items with no restrictions are government websites. The
content of any website ending in "gov” is public domain.
The EPCC Marketing and Community Relations Department is here to simplify the process for you. The Marketing
Department has marketing professionals to assist you every step of the way. Marketing also purchases a source
of stock photography that the college has the right to use. The EPCC procedure 2.04.02.10, Control and
Management of Publications, in part states that all printed materials must be reviewed and approved by the EPCC
Marketing Department. This means that even if you still want to design your materials, you still must have
Marketing view and approve the material. Anything that will be seen outside of the classroom, either on campus
or by the general public must get the approval of the Marketing Department.
For materials used in a classroom setting, the copyright laws are more lenient. The legislative privilege of Fair Use
allows the use of intellectual property not allowed outside of the classroom. Columbia University has a website
devoted to copyright and Fair Use in the educational setting. Visit http://copyright.columbia.edu for more
information, including a Fair Use checklist. There are also separate copyright laws dealing with Distance/Online
Education. The legislative procedure is known as the Technology and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act of
2002. Visit the Ball State University website at http://www.bsu.edu/library/collections/distanceed/faculty for
more information.

Academic Dishonesty Disruptive Behavior/Disorderly Conduct Reference: Student Code of Conduct, College Catalog
MEMORANDUM
To: All Employees From: Steve Smith Vice President of Instruction Linda Gonzalez‐Hensgen Vice President of Student Services Date: January 21, 2014 Subject: Academic Dishonesty Disruptive Behavior/Disorderly Conduct Reference: Student Code of Conduct, College Catalog The following information is being provided as a guide on how to handle issues of academic dishonesty or
inappropriate behavior by a student in the classroom. All issues involving student academic dishonesty or
disruptive behavior must follow the provisions of the El Paso Community College Student Code of Conduct and
referred as follows:
Issues involving student academic
dishonesty
Vice President of Instruction
Issues involving disorderly conduct or
disruptive activity
Vice President of Student Services
Copy: Chief Jose Ramirez Procedures for Addressing Student Related Issues Academic Dishonesty Instructor Options:
I. When there is sufficient evidence of academic dishonesty, the Instructor should meet with the student to
present the evidence and get an explanation/response to the charge from the student. If the student does
not deny the charge, the Instructor should get the admission of the violation in writing from the student
and can then take any or all of the following actions:
A. Provide a warning to the student and explain the consequence of another infraction.
B. Take any corrective action as deemed appropriate. For example, in the case of plagiarism, the student
could be given an opportunity to redo the paper in question but receive a lower grade.
C. Give the student a zero/failing grade for the test/quiz/paper in question.
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE70
D. In addition to the above, the Instructor can give the student an "I" incomplete for the course and refer
the issue through the responsible Dean/Director to the Vice President of Instruction for administrative
disposition. The Instructor should include his/her recommendation of the administrative disposition
to be taken. A list of penalties that can be imposed can be found in the Student Code of Conduct.
However, it is advised that Instructor not give an "F" for the course to the accused student, since this
places any challenges to the charge directly in the Instructor and bypasses the student's right to due
process. If, upon notification by the Instructor of the charge of academic dishonesty, the student
drops the class, the Instructor's final course failing grade does not over‐ride the drop. Nevertheless, if
the issue is referred to the Vice President, the student will go through the administrative process and,
if found guilty, can be administratively re‐instated and receive the failing grade for the course, if that
is the administrative disposition of the case.
When any of the above actions are taken by an Instructor, it is requested that a copy of all
documentation, to include corrective action taken, be forwarded to the responsible Dean/Director and
the appropriate Vice President. These offices will then have a copy of the incident on file in case the
student challenges the action at a later date and have information concerning previous incidents on file
in case the student is reported for academic dishonesty in another class.
II. If the student denies the charges, the issue should be referred through the Instructors' Dean/Director to
the Vice President of Instruction for administrative disposition. Copies of all documentation/evidence
must be forwarded in support of the charge. The Instructor should also include a recommendation on
the disposition of the violation. If the evidence presented is sufficient to uphold a finding of a violation
of the Student Code of Conduct, the student will receive a letter informing him/her to make an
appointment with the Vice President to discuss the incident. At that meeting the student is advised of
his/her right to due process which includes the right to a disciplinary hearing under the provisions of the
Student Code of Conduct, Paragraph III, Student Discipline, I. Discipline Hearings Procedure.
If the student does not dispute the charge, the student signs a document stating that he/she does not
dispute the charge and will accept the administrative disposition of the Vice President. The Vice
President then administers the penalties for the violation. If the student denies the charges, the case is
then referred to a Disciplinary Hearing. See the Student Code of Conduct, Paragraph I for details.
Following is the administrative disposition (penalty) normally applied in cases of academic dishonesty:
First Offense: The student will receive a failing grade for the course and will be placed on Disciplinary Probation
for one year. A record of disciplinary action becomes a permanent record of the student.
Second Offense: The student will receive a failing grade for the course, administrative withdrawal from all
current semester courses (without refund), and suspension for one year.
Third Offense: The student will receive a failing grade for the course, administrative withdrawal from all
current semester courses (without refund), and suspension for one year or permanent expulsion.
The above examples represent the "normal" administrative disposition of cases; however, each case is reviewed
on an individual basis. Mitigating circumstances are taken into account and the outcome may vary case by case.

Disruptive Behavior/Disorderly Conduct in the Classroom
The Instructor must use his/her own judgment and common sense as to what constitutes disruptive behavior, but
normally it will be any activity that interrupts or causes the Instructor or a student to stop a class activity to
respond to another student who is behaving in an unacceptable manner. It could be talking on a cell phone while
the class is in session, talking to others in the class when not directed to do so by the Instructor, or an unsolicited
or unwarranted interruption or outburst that disrupts the class. The Instructor may ask the student to leave the
classroom for that class session and provide him/her conditions for return. When an instructor feels that a
student is being disruptive, the following step should be followed:
First Incident: A one‐on‐one verbal warning describing the unacceptable behavior and the type of behavior
expected and required of the student. A record of the date and time of incident should be kept by the
Instructor.
Second Incident: A one‐on‐one verbal warning with a written record of the second meeting outlining the type
of incident which took place with the dates of both/all incidents recorded. Again describe the type of
behavior expected/required and indicate that a further violation will result in the student being
referred to the appropriate Dean or Director.
Third Incident: Refer to Dean/Director who will meet with the student and Instructor to discuss the issue and
give the student a written warning regarding the unacceptable behavior and indicating that any further
incident will result in the student being referred to the appropriate Vice President for disciplinary
action. The Instructor needs to inform the Vice President of Student Services the issue and provide all
back up documentation prior to the meeting with the student.
Fourth Incident: Refer student to the Vice President of Students Services for administrative disposition. All
back up documentation needs to be forwarded by the Dean /Director with a recommendation on the
corrective action to be taken.
Administrative disposition normally taken if the student is referred to the Vice President.
Warning of Disciplinary Probation for up to one year.
Administrative withdrawal from the class
Suspension from one semester up to one year
Permanent expulsion
If the disruption is so severe as to present an immediate danger to persons or property or is an on‐going threat
to the academic process, the Instructor should notify the EPCC Police Department immediately to have the
student escorted out of the classroom and to have the incident recorded. The student is not allowed to return
to the class until he/she meets with the appropriate Vice President. In these cases, the student may be placed
on Summary Suspension pending administrative disposition of the case. See Student Code of Conduct, H, 3 and 4.

Treatment of Minors
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 25, 2010 (Reviewed February 2010)
SUBJECT: TREATMENT OF MINORS
Certain circumstances have come to attention regarding potentially inappropriate screenings on high school or
young clients that may have been occurring on our campus. Therefore, please follow the following guidelines:
Unless there is a parent present, written consent from the parent or school, no treatments, laboratory tests, or
other procedures should be performed on clients under the age of 18 (preferably 21) in our on‐campus
laboratories and clinics.
Changes in Assignments
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 25, 2010 (Reviewed February 2010)
SUBJECT: CHANGES IN ASSIGNMENTS
Please do not change class assignments, dates or hours scheduled to work, or locations scheduled to work,
without notifying the division office in advance so we can have the correct information on assignments when
submitted initially or at least get a timely revision (or substitute form) in so that extra work is not created for
multiple departments. Faculty should not make their own arrangements to exchange classes, substitute, etc.
without notifying the division office and appropriate coordinator.
When assignments are changed without notifying the division office of these changes in assignments, this may
result in various negative impacts, including but not limited to:
1. Involved faculty not receiving any paycheck or receiving an underpayment
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE73
2. Involved faculty receiving an overpayment, which has to be paid back or which results in a decreased
check during the next pay period.
3. Revised contracts have to be submitted. These then have to be processed through personnel and payroll.
4. Changes in assignments may impact total workload or other assignments for other departments such as
continuing education.
5. Changes in assignments may also impact official college reports such as class rosters, census reports, and
grade scanners. Errors in these documents could impact state funding during audits.
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE74
PART V ‐ PAYROLL INFORMATION PAYROLL ADVANCES Requests for payroll advances may be initiated upon request should be through the Division office. Payroll
advances are not routinely approved by the Comptroller. There must be unique circumstances such as illness in
the family (documented) or administrative delays in paperwork which were unavoidable and not due to faculty
delays in submission of documentation.
PAYROLL CHECKS Should there be any concerns regarding pay checks, check with the Payroll Department. If payroll is missing any
documents, they will contact the Division office as necessary
TIME SHEETS A reminder to part time faculty, work studies, and staff who are paid by time sheets. Time sheets should be in the
Division office 3 days prior to the deadline for submission each month. This will avoid any delays in processing
your checks. All time sheets are signed by the Campus Dean prior to being transmitted to Payroll.
PART TIME FACULTY BENEFITS One day sick leave per semester (Fall and Spring only) (NON‐CUMULATIVE) Jury service (attendance documented
by court). Absence exchange program, three days per year (Fall, Spring, and Summer with a maximum of two
days in any one semester). (This program already exists).

PART VI ‐ STUDENT INFORMATION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES Students with permanent or temporary verified disabilities are invited to register with the Center for Students
with Disabilities where counseling, registration assistance, adaptive equipment and a variety of support services
are available. Support services can be arranged for all campus locations. For more information, refer to the
College Catalog, or call any campus center for students with disabilities:
RG: 831‐4418, Room B‐200 VV: 831‐2821, Room C‐112 MDP: 831‐7007, Room A‐111
NW: 831‐8815, Room M‐54 TM: 831‐5808, Room 1400.
If accommodations are needed to complete program competencies, a plan will be developed to assist students to meet course/program competencies whenever possible. An individualized learning plan will be jointly developed between the student, the faculty member, and a representative from the Center for Students with Disabilities. To initiate this process, please contact any of the following individuals; a Health Career Counselor, the Faculty Coordinator, a representative of the Center for Students with Disabilities, or the Division Dean of Health Careers. YOU must initiate the request for accommodations! Accommodations requested and approved must allow you to meet the same course outcomes as students with no accommodations.
Accommodations for Licensing, Certification, or Registry Examinations
Most agencies which license, certify, or register health care professionals also have established guidelines for the
examinations for graduates of health occupations programs. These guidelines usually describe resting
modifications during the licensing examination for candidates with disabilities. The following outlines a typical
guideline:
1. Candidate must submit a request for testing modification directly to the appropriate licensing,
certification, or registry agency. Examples of supporting documentation would include:
Letter from candidate
Letter from medical professional documenting disability and requested modification
Letter from program coordinator identifying modifications granted by the program
2. The agency will review the request and supporting documentation for completeness, fairness, security,
and impact. Information will also be provided to the testing service.
3. An approval letter will be mailed to the candidate from the agency and will include:
The accommodations approved.
The test center that was notified of the request for the accommodations.
Information for the candidate if changes are needed in the testing center location.
4. Cost of accommodations will be the responsibility of the testing service.
5. If assistive personnel (e.g. readers, recorders, signers) are needed at the testing, an approved list of
readers will have previously been identified by the agency. The testing service will identify the reader.
For more information contact the specific agency which will issue your license, certification, or registry.

HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE76
STUDENT COMPLAINTS Students with a complaint about an instructor or a grade should follow the grievance procedure:
1. Talk with the instructor involved
2. If not resolved, then discuss the situation with the Faculty Coordinator.
3. If still not resolved, then discuss the situation, and if appropriate, submit a written complaint to the
Campus Dean. Any grievance should identify the problem and the solution which the student requests.
When student complaints are received by the Campus Dean, faculty members involved will be requested to respond to the concerns identified by the student and to provide any documentation required. This request is routine; it does not imply a decision about the case. After review of documentation from the faculty and/or student, meetings to discuss resolution of the issue will be scheduled as appropriate.
STUDENT DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS Unsafe Clinical Practice: Faculty has the authority to dismiss students from clinical practice for unsafe clinical practice. Guidelines are in the Health Career Student Clinician’s Handbook. (A copy of the handbook will be posted on the Division website).
Dishonesty: Faculty has the authority to dismiss a student from an examination for cheating, discipline students for plagiarism, etc. The level of "punishment" (e.g. grade of "F" for the examination, dismissal from the course, etc.), however, should be discussed in the course syllabus provided to students at the beginning of the course.
Attendance: Faculty may require attendance and use attendance as a portion of the course grade. This however must be identified in the syllabus as to how it will be graded. Attendance may be one factor for dropping a student; however, it cannot be the only factor. Refer to the College Catalog regarding course pursuit for more information.
Student Right to Appeal: All students have the right to appeal your decision regarding disciplinary action or
grades. The process for appeal includes complaints to the Campus Dean. Some student concerns also may involve
the Vice President from Student Services. In some circumstances, the student may also request a formal hearing.
Refer to the College Student Handbook for more information. Copies of the College Student Handbook are
available from Student Government.
WITHDRAWING/REINSTATING STUDENTS A student may be withdrawn from a course for the following reasons: (1) disruptive behavior; (2) the failure of
the student to appear for examinations, presentations, or other required class activities as identified in the
course syllabus; or (3) at the failure of the student to submit required papers, projects and/or reports. A student
cannot be dropped solely on the basis of his/her failure to attend class. If you are unsure about dropping a
student, discuss the situation with the Faculty Coordinator or Campus Dean.
IMPORTANT: If you want to withdraw a student due to disruptive behavior, contact the Campus Dean prior to
completing the form.
It is important to maintain a record of attendance for all students. If a student appeals the withdrawal, the
instructor will be asked to submit his/her attendance and grade records. Students dropped for reasons other
than behavior may continue to attend class until they appear of the drop is complete. Every effort will be made
to expeditiously complete the appeal process. Students dropped from a class cannot remain in the class if the
drop is upheld in the appeals process. Students who initiate their own withdraw from a class cannot continue to
attend.
FacultyExpectationsManual 2014‐2015
HEALTHCAREER&TECHNICALEDUCATION,MATHANDSCIENCEDIVISION PAGE77
Remember to fill in all parts of the withdrawal form. Submit the form to the Student Services Coordinator at the
Rio Grande Campus or to Admissions and Records at Valle Verde in person or by mail. A student dropped or
withdrawn form a course cannot continue to attend class. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact
the Faculty Coordinator or the Campus Dean.
Every reasonable effort should be made to retain the student in the class. Instructors are encouraged to contact
the student when attendance or course pursuit becomes a problem. Often such communication between the
instructor and student results in the student remaining enrolled in the course and satisfactorily pursuing the
objectives.
Withdrawal actions for nonattendance should be done before census date. Once the census date has passed
withdrawal forms must be used. Only the date submitted is required on the withdrawal form (which also
becomes the effective date).
Students dropped prior to census date as having never attended cannot be reinstated. Students dropped after
census date who have attended some class meetings can be reinstated.
Students dropped following census date should be reinstated no later than two weeks following the date of
drop. Do not hold reinstatement forms beyond two weeks. The effective date of reinstatement (DOR) must be
the same date as the date the withdrawal form was submitted.
Also, the date submitted should not be more than two weeks following the date the withdrawal form was
submitted. Reinstatement forms must be submitted to the Division office. Withdrawal and reinstatement forms
can be obtained from any campus admission office.
Faculty is expected to maintain confidentiality, whether dealing with patient information or student information.
Information about student performance should not be shared with other students.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS WITH COURSES, STUDENTS, FACILITIES Should you experience difficulties (or anticipate problems) with a course, examination, behavior of students,
student complaints, facilities or equipment concerns, please keep your Instructional Coordinator and/or Campus
Dean informed. They may be able to suggest ways to deal with the situation. In addition, they would like to be
able to provide additional support and assistance as needed to prevent minor situations from becoming MAJOR
problems.

PART VIII – EMPLOYMENT DESCRIMINATION DESCRIMINATION AND HARRASEMENT Discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated of employees or students on the basis of race, color, national
origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other prohibited
reason. Employees and students are entitled to an environment which is conducive to both learning and
productivity. Activities which erode this environment will be dealt with by the College swiftly and decisively. The
College has developed a grievance procedure for employees and students to use, without fear of redress or
retaliation, to address allegations of discriminatory actions, or breaches of acceptable standards of behavior.
Specific guidelines for the processing of discrimination complaints may be found in College Procedure

PART IX – FACULTY DEVELOPMENT OPORTUNITIESTRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT The College has a variety of resources to enhance the capabilities of its employees. The Office of Human Resources Development, the Office of Faculty Development, the Information Technology Department, the Employee Relations Department, the Safety Office, and others each provide Faculty and Staff with in‐service training and development opportunities and programs. These programs are designed to improve and enhance current and future skills and abilities, to provide information on institutional priorities and topics related to personal and professional development interests. The EPCC Leadership Development Academy is a one‐year training program designed to enhance the leadership qualities, characteristics, and skills of college employees. The program offers two tracks of training. Track I, Fundamentals of Leadership, is open to all full‐time employees, by self‐nomination. Track II, Advanced Leadership, is open to all full‐time employees who have supervisory responsibility for at least five employees, who serve as Faculty Coordinator, or who currently serve as officers in an EPCC employee association. Entry into Track II can be gained either by self‐nomination or by supervisory nomination. Applications to participate in the Leadership Academy are e‐mailed to all employees at the beginning of the fall semester. Employees may also download an application from the EPCC web‐site or pick one up from any campus library. The application must be submitted by the designated deadline. The Employee Relations Department also provides specialized programs in equal employment opportunity and equal educational opportunity, including sexual harassment. This workshop complies with Chapter 21, Sec. 21.010 Texas, Texas Labor Code. Information provided includes the College's policies and procedures relating to employment discrimination, including employment discrimination involving sexual harassment. It is the faculty and staff member’s responsibility to attend this mandatory workshop every two (2) years as a condition of employment. Employees may take the Equal Employment Opportunity & Equal Educational Opportunity training courses on‐line at www.epcc.edu/employeerelations or attend a workshop. Workshops for faculty are held during Faculty Development Week in the fall and spring semesters. Staff workshops are held during each semester. The College’s primary mission is the development of an individual’s knowledge and skills. With this in mind, it then follows that each employee can explore the numerous resources available in this organization. Eligible employees, retirees and their dependents can use the various services of the learning resources centers located at each campus. Employees can enroll in many of the credit and non‐credit classes offered by the College through use of the Staff Scholarship benefit program. One of the major ways employees develop personal and professional competence is through our working relationships with knowledgeable and talented co‐workers. The College is an organization which has many talented people on its staff. Each employee can learn new skills through interest in learning from each other.

PART XI – FACULTY CREDENTIALS REQUIREMENTS AND VERIFICATIONS FACULTY CREDENTIALS VERIFICATION College Procedure 3.05.02.10 outlines the process for the verification of the credentials of each full‐time and
part‐time faculty member. The purpose is to ensure that every faculty member employed at the College possesses
the academic preparation and training/experience necessary to meet the minimum requirements of the
accrediting bodies and state agencies.
Prior to the employment of a faculty member, the faculty supervisor (Dean or Director) reviews the credentials of
the individual to verify that the minimum requirements are met. This is accomplished through a comparison by
the supervisor of the credentials outlined in the Summary of Instructional Qualifications with those possessed by
the potential faculty member. If the prospective faculty member’s credentials meet or exceed those required, the
Faculty Credentials Verification form is completed and submitted through administrative channels for approval.
Approval by the senior instructional supervisor is required if a credentials exception is requested. The completed
Faculty Credentials Verification form is forwarded to the Personnel Services Department to be included in the
faculty member’s employee file.
The Faculty Credentials Review Committee (FCRC) is a Standing College Committee, and is charged
with reviewing and making recommendations regarding faculty credentials issues, including credential
verification, dispute resolutions, and permanent credential exception recommendations. This committee is also
responsible for maintaining the Summary of Instructional Qualifications.
Only course work or degrees granted by an accredited college or university or an acceptable evaluation of foreign
course work or degrees will be accepted for the credentialing of a faculty member. All transcripts submitted by a
prospective faculty member from a foreign university or school must be accompanied by a full translation in
English by an acceptable translator. Further, each foreign transcript must be evaluated for equivalency to United
States accredited course work by an acceptable agency. All costs for these services will be borne by the
prospective faculty member
