Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Student Information Sheet FERPA is a federal law that protects students.

The law was passed by Congress in 1974 and grants students the following rights:

y the right to inspect and review education records y the right to seek the amendment of education records y the right to consent to the disclosure of education records y the right to obtain a copy of the school’s FERPA policy y the right to file a complaint with the FERPA Office in Washington D.C.

Education records are official and confidential documents protected by FERPA. Education records, as defined by FERPA, include all records that are related to a student and maintained by Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC).

Generally, EICC must have written permission from students before releasing information from their record. One exception is categorized as “directory information.” At EICC the following information is categorized as directory information:

y Name y Address y Telephone Number y Dates of Attendance y Class Rank y Concentration Area

y Email Address y Currently Enrolled y Awards/Honors y Activities/Sports y Height/Weight (athletes) y Full/Part-time status

Students have the option to request that no information (including directory information) be released. Students must submit this request to the Registrar’s Office within the first 30 calendar days of a beginning of a term or 10 calendar days for the summer term. If a student elects to have directory information remain confidential no information can be released.

Under certain circumstances, confidential (non-directory) education records can be released without a student’s prior consent. For example, information could be released to comply with a lawfully issued subpoena or to school officials who have a legitimate educational interest.

At the post-secondary level, a student’s parents, or legal guardian have no inherent rights to inspect their education records; this right is limited specifically to the student. This includes the release of a transcript or an instructor speaking to parents or a legal guardian about class work or attendance.

For more information or to sign the form limiting the release of information contact the Registrar on the campus.

Military Absence Policy EICC supports our students who provide current or past service in the military. The college is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for students who must miss class due to military obligations or medical treatment for service-related conditions.

Students will not be penalized for missing class due to military obligations or service-related medical treatment.

Instructors will provide reasonable accommodations for students to make up work. The instructor will determine how to make-up learning, and work with the student to devise a plan to that coursework can be completed.

It is the student’s responsibility to inform the instructor of the need to miss classes prior to the absence(s).

If the military absence is extensive enough to prevent the student from completing the training, the student will be placed in a subsequent like course at no additional cost.

Children in Class Children are not allowed in EICC career training classes.

Students’ Rights and Responsibilities and Student Code of Conduct Eastern Iowa Community Colleges students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens, students enjoy the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and right of petition that other citizens enjoy. As members of the academic community, students are subject to the obligations which are theirs by virtue of this membership.

The College expects its students to conduct themselves in such a way as to reflect credit upon the institution they represent. There are two basic standards of behavior required of all students: a) They shall not violate any board policy, municipal, state, or federal law; b) nor interfere with or disrupt the orderly educational processes of the College. Students are not entitled to greater immunities or privileges before the law than those enjoyed by other citizens generally.

Identification Cards I.D. cards are available on request. Contact the Student Development area if you would like an I.D. card.

Authorized Use of Facilities The College is a public facility entrusted to the Board of Directors and College officials for the purpose of conducting the process of education. Activities which appear to be compatible with this purpose are approved by the College in accordance with established College procedure. Activities which appear to be incompatible or in opposition to the purpose of education or the mission of the College are normally disapproved. College officials exercise reasonable control over the use of facilities to ensure the College’s maximum use for the purpose for which it was intended. Therefore, any student or organization planning an activity at the College which requires space to accommodate two or more persons must have prior approval of the activity.

Application forms to reserve space and for the approval of the activities are available through the appropriate College office.

Right to Assemble Students have the right of free expression and advocacy; however, the time, place, and manner of exercising speech and advocacy rights shall be regulated in such a manner to ensure orderly conduct, noninterference with College functions or activities, and identification of sponsoring groups or individuals. (All on-campus meetings and Collegesponsored activities must be preregistered and approved by the Dean of Student Development or his/her designee.)

Conduct Expected of Students / Student Code of Conduct The following regulations describe offenses for which disciplinary proceedings may be initiated. The College expects from its students a higher standard of conduct than the minimum required to avoid disciplinary action.

Students are expected to obey the law, to show respect for properly constituted authority, to perform contractual obligations, to maintain integrity and a high standard of honor in academic work, and to observe a standard of conduct appropriate for the College. The College expects all students to conduct themselves under all circumstances in a responsible manner. This implies thoughtful consideration of college property and members of the college community.

Any student or group of students failing to observe either the general standards of conduct or any specific regulation adopted by the College, or acting in a manner not in the best interest of other students of the College, shall be subject to disciplinary action.

The following shall constitute unacceptable behavior and shall subject the offenders to disciplinary penalties as provided in College policy:

Academic Dishonesty College deans may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a student accused of Academic Dishonesty. Academic Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in any course at this college. Plagiarism and other forms of cheating are examples of such dishonesty and will result in serious consequences. Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words as your own, whether in writing or in speaking.

You are plagiarizing if you: A. Use direct quotes without quotation marks and textual citation of the material; B. Paraphrase without crediting the source; C. Present another’s ideas as your own without citing the source; D. Submit material written by someone else as your own (this includes purchasing or borrowing a paper); E. Submit a paper or assignment for which you have received so much help that the writing style is significantly different from your own.

F. Participate in a group project which presents plagiarized material; G. Fail to provide adequate citations for information obtained through electronic research; H. Download or submit work from electronic sources without citation.

You are cheating if you: A. Partially or wholly copy someone else’s exam or homework; B. Allow another student to copy your work or submit work you have written as his/her own; C. Refer to any text, notes, other materials, or any other type of assistance including electronic devices, during an exam without authorization to do so; D. Submit a paper or assignment for which you have received so much help that the writing style is significantly different from your own; E. Pass test answers to another student during or before a test. Cheating and plagiarism, whether intentional or accidental, are serious offenses.

Consequences include: A. Disciplinary Action by the Instructor: An instructor who suspects you of plagiarism or cheating must inform you of the allegation as soon as possible. If the instructor comes to the conclusion that the student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the instructor will determine what action to take. The instructor may decide to give you a zero for the assignment, may reduce your grade for the course, or even assign an F for the course. The instructor may send a written report of the case to inform the Dean or Authorized College Official, and may request additional disciplinary action; a copy is sent to the student.

B. Student Appeal: If you believe that the finding of plagiarism or cheating is in error or the penalty unjust, you may appeal to the Dean or Authorized College Official. The appeal will be processed in accordance with Section 2-200 of the Student Code of Conduct. An informal hearing will be held and an Administrative Disposition will be presented to the student. Further appeal information is included in the Student Code of Conduct located in the Student Handbook.

Alternatives Academic dishonesty is unnecessary, especially since there are alternatives.

A. If you are unsure about the proper use of sources, or the extent to which collaboration on an assignment is allowed, talk with the instructor; B. Consult a recognized handbook for instruction on citing source materials; C. Contact the Skills Center (MCC), Writing Center (SCC), or Academic Success Center (CCC).

Occupation Description

Occupation Description

The occupation entails monitoring and operating CNC (computer numerically controlled) lathe machines to cut metal and plastic parts for the manufacturing industry. After a CNC programmer develops instructions for a computer controller based on blueprints, a set-up CNC operator downloads the program and performs test operations to ensure the product is made to specifications. A CNC lathe operator then takes over production, running the machine and monitoring it for problems.

A mill operator oversees equipment such as milling machines, end mills, revolving lathe tools and drill presses to produce manufacturing parts out of metal, aluminum, steel or plastic, often for the aerospace industry. Using blueprints provided by a company’s engineers, mill operators assess specifications and configure equipment to produce batches of parts.
