About DSU

Strategic Planning 2007-2012: Unique and Focused

During 2006-07, the University utilized a strategic planning process to develop seven overarching goals for the University. The goals are stated in brief here and discussed more fully in the strategic plan document found on our website at http://www.departments.dsu.edu/presidentoffice/Documents/strategic_plan.htm. To fulfill the plan’s vision, DSU will: 1. Expand current information technology leadership by focusing on cutting-edge fields. 2. Increase on-campus student enrollment and enhance program quality by attracting high-ability students from inside and outside of South Dakota. 3. Increase retention and graduation by providing a unique and exceptional student experience. 4. Enrich and solidify DSU’s new emphasis on research. 5. Expand DSU’s educational outreach through online and alternative-location course delivery. 6. Increase visibility and recognition of the University. 7. Find/create new sources of revenue to fund the above initiatives.

Implementation of Strategic Goals

The Institutional Effectiveness Committee will use the 2007-2012 Strategic Goals to develop unit- and college-specific plans that include measurable, time-based objectives and performance indicators. The University will annually evaluate progress toward the goals and utilize this information to make decisions that result in the effective and efficient use of resources. A continuous quality improvement model will be used to analyze progress, report results, and document improvements. The University is concluding successful implementation of its 2002 – 2007 strategic plan. Details regarding active and planned initiatives that grew and resulted from the 2002 -2007 Strategic Plan are available on our campus web site — http://www.departments.dsu.edu/presidentoffice/Documents/strategic_plan.htm

Campus Diversity Plan

Dakota State University is committed to providing an opportunity to learn in a rich environment free of intolerance and bigotry, one that teaches and honors the importance of the acceptance of differences in others. All members of the community have a responsibility to make DSU campuses and classrooms welcoming and respectful of each member’s differences and/or abilities. An investment in diversity is more than the act of recruiting diverse peoples to campus or celebrating ethnically themed events or holidays. Diversity Mission Statement: The Dakota State University community asserts these fundamental beliefs: • Individuals who differ in age, creed, culture, exceptionalities, ethnicity, gender, race, sexuality, and socio-economic status all contribute to the diversity which we value in the university community. • Respect for all individuals and interaction with people different from oneself are essential components of a university education. • The university community pledges to promote an atmosphere, which encourages the development of potential and promotes the value of diversity.

About DSU

Dakota State University’s History

Dakota State University

Dakota State University has enjoyed a long and proud history of leadership and service since its founding in 1881 as the first teacher education institution in the Dakota Territory. For most of its history, DSU has been identified with teacher preparation, first as a normal school and later as a four-year public college. The University has had several different names, among them Madison Normal, Eastern Normal, and General Beadle State College. The name, Dakota State College, was adopted in 1969. On July 1, 1989, Dakota State College became Dakota State University. The University title was conferred on the institution by the South Dakota Legislature in order to better reflect its purpose in the total scheme of the state’s higher education system. Prospective elementary and secondary teachers continue to be educated here. To this traditional emphasis, DSU added business and traditional arts and science programs in the 1960s and two health services programs, Health Information Management and Respiratory Care, in the late 1970s. In 1984, the South Dakota Legislature and the South Dakota Board of Regents turned to Dakota State University to educate leaders for the information age. In response, Dakota State University developed leading-edge computer/information systems degree programs. The graduates of these programs enjoy enviable status in the national marketplace. As a leader in computer and information systems programs, DSU has pioneered the application of computer technology to traditional fields of academic endeavor. This thrust has led to the development of unique degree programs in biology, English, mathematics, and physical science. Dakota State University continues to serve the needs of a changing society in its second century. In order to provide its academic programs to a broader audience, DSU has promoted the use of distance education to deliver academic courses and programs. Dakota State has been recognized nationally for innovative curriculum. In Spring 2004, DSU was one of ten colleges in the country named a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency. The university recently installed the first iris recognition system in the state of South Dakota as part of a biometrics initiative that is tied to academic programs in computer security. DSU is the first university in the state and one of the few in the country to implement a wireless mobile computing initiative using the Gateway Notebook. In 2007 and again in 2008, DSU was ranked first in the Top Public Comprehensive Colleges - Bachelor’s Division in the Midwest region by U.S. News and World Report magazine. As society’s educational needs change, Dakota State University will continue to evolve to meet these needs with education, scholarship and service.

Academic Policies Academic Credit for Non-Traditional Learning Experiences

Dakota State University allows degree-seeking students who are currently enrolled to earn academic credit for non-traditional learning experiences when those experiences are equivalent to coursework provided at Dakota State University. DSU will evaluate and record credit for the non-traditional learning experience of degree-seeking students currently enrolled at Dakota State University or graduates of Dakota State University seeking enhanced certification, licensure or employment opportunities. Credits earned through validation methods other than nationally recognized examinations (AP, CLEP, etc.) is limited to a maximum of 32 hours of credit for baccalaureate degrees and 16 hours of credit for associate degrees. Validation of military credit is limited to an additional 32 hours of credit for baccalaureate degrees and an additional 16 hours of credit for associate degrees. These maximum credit limits apply, regardless of the number of majors in which the student is enrolled. If credit by examination is accepted, the permanent record will show the equivalent course name and a grade of EX for the specified number of credits. If credit is accepted by another form of validation, the grade will be CR for the specified number of credits. No entry will be made on the record if the examination is failed. The examination results will not be included in calculation of either the semester or the cumulative grade point averages. Credit earned for non-traditional learning experience will not meet degree residency requirements. If a student has not successfully completed a course (a grade of D or F) credit for prior learning/work experience can not be used to gain credit for the failed course. Dakota State University cannot guarantee that credit earned for non-traditional learning experience at DSU will transfer to other institutions, since institutional practices/policies vary.

Advanced Placement (AP)

Credit for work accomplished in high school through the Advanced Placement program of the College Examination Board will be awarded, based on the approved exams and scores noted in the university catalog under “Advanced Placement”. Advanced placement examinations do not meet the globalization or writing intensive requirements for general education. 1) Students complete the Advanced Placement test administered by their high schools and request that the scores be reported to Dakota State University. 2) AP sends scores to the students and to DSU’s Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Vice President’s Office notifies the Registrar of the exam results and, if the scores meet or exceed DSU’s standards, the Registrar enters the credit for the examinations on the students’ academic record. (Nothing is entered on academic record if the AP scores do not meet DSU credit standards.)

About DSU

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Students may take CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exams to earn credit for specific courses. A listing of specific course equivalencies and minimum scores follow the procedure. DSU credit will be granted only for passing scores the first time a CLEP subject examination is taken. If a student has not successfully completed a course (a grade of D or F), a CLEP examination cannot be used to gain DSU credit for the failed course. Students cannot earn CLEP credit for courses if they have already completed higher-level courses in that content area (except foreign language). The CLEP program has a longstanding policy that an exam may not be retaken within a six-month period. This waiting period provides the student with an opportunity to spend additional time preparing for the exam or the option of taking a classroom course. 1) Students contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment (OIEA) (Heston Hall, 256-5101) for CLEP information and to schedule an appointment. 2) Students pay the appropriate test fee and complete the computer-based exam. Military personnel and eligible civilian employees and spouses can complete the CLEP exams at DSU without paying the exam fee. Please contact the OIEA at 256-5101 for more information on CLEP testing for military. 3) The Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment provides an unofficial score report to the student and electronically submits the test results to Educational Testing Services. ETS sends the official results to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Vice President’s Office notifies the Registrar and the student of the official exam results and, if the score meets or exceeds DSU’s standards, the Registrar enters the credit for the exam on the student’s transcript. (Nothing is entered on the transcript if the CLEP score does not meet DSU credit standards.) CLEP examinations do not meet the globalization or writing intensive requirements for general education.

Department Credit-by-Examination

In subjects for which there is no equivalent CLEP examination, students may petition to challenge college coursework via a departmental credit-by-examination. A grade of “C” or better is required on the exam to earn course credit. DSU credit will be granted only for passing scores earned the first time each subject department credit-by-exam is taken. If a student earned a grade of D or F in a course, a departmental credit-by-exam cannot be used to gain DSU credit for that course. Students cannot earn credit-by-exam credit for courses if they have already completed higher-level courses in that content area. 1) Students discuss the proposal with the dean of the college that offers the course. With the approval of the dean, students complete the “Application for Credit by Examination” form available through the Enrollment Service office or web site. Current costs for challenge exams are noted in the university catalog under Tuition, Fees, Housing and Board costs. 2) The dean approves the student request, works with the faculty member to set very specific standards for earning the credits (test, essay, project or demonstrating abilities) and makes arrangements for administering the exam. This request must be approved by the dean by the deadline for withdrawal from a full-semester course, which is published in the Academic Calendar. 3) The faculty person identified on the form administers and grades the exam and the exam results are reported to the dean, prior to the end of the academic term in which the grade will be recorded. 4) The dean notifies the student and the Registrar of the outcome. Only successful exams are noted on the student’s academic record.

Dual-credits for High School Courses

The South Dakota Board of Regents has established agreements with Dakota Wesleyan University, Mount Marty College, Kilian Community College, Western Iowa Tech10

About DSU

nical Community College, Riverland Community College (MN), Iowa Western Community College, Metropolitan Community College, Wyoming Community College, ND University System, University of Mary, Minnesota State University-Mankato, and Fond du Lac Tribal & Community College whereby the South Dakota regental universities will accept high school, dual-credit courses for transfer. All other high school courses, for which students received college credit, must be validated by an Advanced Placement or CLEP score that meets Board of Regents guidelines for acceptance of credit. For more information, contact Enrollment Services.

Credit For Prior Learning/Work Experience

Requests for credit via prior learning/work experience must directly correspond to academic coursework offered by Dakota State University. The experiential learning must be fully described and documented by the student in writing to indicate the direct correspondence or equivalence to specific university course(s). Requests should be evaluated by external supervisors, if appropriate, and by University officials in light of the student’s educational objectives. 1) Students prepare a cover memo to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, stating the course(s) for which he/she would like to receive prior learning credit. In addition to the memo, the student’s application for prior learning should include: a) Transcript for the course(s) (either an original or a copy) that includes the course prefix, number, title and date of enrollment; b) Course syllabus; c) Name of instructor; d) Any course projects that seem appropriate; e) Statement/memo from the student’s DSU advisor, indicating the student and the advisor have discussed the student’s application and the advisor agrees that prior learning credit is appropriate for this student in this major; and f) $25 per transcript processing fee In cases where the prior learning application is based on experiential learning, rather than completed coursework, the student is expected to put together a portfolio that demonstrates this experience. This document should include: a) Statements from work supervisors (or the company’s human resources director) indicating job requirements and skills needed for the position held, b) Examples of work projects, c) Written statement from student that explains why/how the artifacts demonstrate the appropriate level of learning d) $25 per course processing fee 2) Student memo plus documentation is submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs; 3) A faculty committee is appointed to review the application and reports its recommendation to the college dean, who forwards the recommendation to the Vice President for Academic Affairs; 4) Enrollment Services, the student, and advisor are notified by the Vice President for Academic Affairs of the committee’s recommendation.

Military Credit

Academic Integrity Basic Standards

Registration at Dakota State University requires adherence to the University’s standards of academic integrity. The following examples represent some basic types of behavior that are unacceptable: 1. Cheating: using unauthorized notes, study aids, devices, or information on an examination; altering a graded work and resubmitting the work for regrading; presenting another person’s work as your own. Cheating also includes aiding and abetting academic dishonesty, for example: (a) providing material, information, or other assistance to another person with knowledge that such aid could be used in any of the violations stated above, or (b) providing false information in connection with any inquiry regarding academic integrity. 2. Plagiarism: submitting material that in part or whole is not entirely one’s own work without attributing those same portions to their correct source. 3. Fabrication: falsifying or inventing any information, data or citation; presenting data that were not gathered in accordance with standard guidelines, defining the appropriate methods for collecting or generating data, and failing to include an accurate account of the method by which the data were gathered or collected. 4. Obtaining an Unfair Advantage: (a) stealing, reproducing, circulating or otherwise gaining access to examination materials prior to the time authorized by the instructor; (b) stealing, destroying, defacing or concealing library materials with the purpose of depriving others of their use; (c) unauthorized collaboration on an academic assignment (d) retaining, possessing, using or circulating previously given examination materials, where those materials 13

clearly indicate that they are to be returned to the instructor at the conclusion of the examination; (e) intentionally obstructing or interfering with another student’s academic work or (f) otherwise undertaking activity with the purpose of creating or obtaining an unfair academic advantage over other students academic work. 5. Falsification of Records and Official Documents: altering documents affecting academic records; forging signatures of authorization or falsifying information on an official academic document, grade report, letter of permission, petition, drop/add form, ID card, or any other official University document. 6. Unauthorized Access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems: viewing or altering computer records, modifying computer programs or systems, releasing or dispensing information gained via unauthorized access, or interfering with the use or availability of computer systems or information.

Procedures

Once a faculty member suspects a student of academic dishonesty, or another student reports an act of academic dishonesty, there is a defined process for proceeding. By following the procedure, both the student(s) and faculty member(s) concerned are protected. The faculty member’s responsibilities and the student’s rights are specified below.

The Process 14

1. Each faculty member has the responsibility and authority to deal with instances of academic dishonesty occurring within his/her classroom/laboratory setting. The faculty members’ responsibility begins with the course syllabus. In the syllabus, each faculty member must include his or her academic integrity policy and the implication of violating that policy OR reference the Trojan Handbook code of conduct. If a faculty member has reason to believe that a violation has occurred, he/she will evaluate the available evidence, which may include meeting with the student(s) involved, in an effort to reach a finding. If the faculty member finds the student(s) guilty of academic dishonesty, he/she will take appropriate action to impose whatever action or corrective measures he/she deems appropriate, as specified in the syllabus. Any action taken in regard to academic dishonesty is at the discretion of the faculty member but cannot exceed those actions or corrective measures specified in the syllabus. 2. As with any academic action, the student has the right to appeal the actions or corrective measures imposed by the faculty member. (See related DSU Policy 03-30-00). As indicated above, it is the obligation of every faculty member to inform students at the beginning of each course of the objectives, requirements, performance standards and evaluation procedures for the course. This information should be incorporated into the current course syllabus and provided in writing or via the course web site to students. If a student believes that the action / corrective measure imposed by the faculty member was inappropriate, he/she may appeal the action / corrective measure by filing a formal appeal, following the process outlined below. 3. Referrals to the Academic Integrity Board may be made either by the student or faculty member involved. If a student appeals the action/corrective measure imposed by a faculty member, they must file the appeal within two weeks of their notification by the faculty member. Faculty members may refer cases to the

Dakota State University

4. 5. 6.

About DSU

Academic Integrity Board by sending a referral dossier to the Chair. The dossier should include a memo detailing the nature of the case, a copy of a written statement of the specific academic integrity violation sent to the student, as well as any relevant student work and source documents. The Academic Integrity Board will schedule a review of the case within one week of receiving the appeal. The board will evaluate the appeal and recommend a course of action to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. This recommendation may include: overturn the action / corrective measures, agreement with the faculty members’ course of action / corrective measures, or further action against the appealing student(s) up to and including suspension from the university. If additional sanctions are imposed on the student, then the student may appeal the committee’s decision to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Vice President for Academic Affairs will be the final arbiter in any dispute of academic honesty. All findings of the Academic Integrity Board will be forwarded to the Vice President/Dean of Student Affairs. The Vice President/Dean of Student Affairs will be the depository of information for the Board. The findings of the Board may be used in Disciplinary Board Hearings at the discretion of the Vice President/Dean of Student Affairs. However, actions taken by the Disciplinary Board will not be available for the Academic Integrity Board. Therefore, while the findings of the Disciplinary Board hearings are not available to the Academic Integrity Board, the findings of the Academic Integrity Board do become part of the student’s overall disciplinary record. Students charged with academic dishonesty may not change their registration in a course in which the charge is pending, or in which a finding of academic dishonesty has been made.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

The enforcement of academic integrity lies with the general faculty of Dakota State University. In all cases involving academic dishonesty, the student charged or suspected shall, at a minimum, be accorded the following rights. 1. Prompt investigation of all charges of academic dishonesty, to be conducted, insofar as possible, in a manner that prevents public disclosure of the student’s identity. Such investigation may include informal review and discussion with an official of the school prior to bringing a charge, provided that such review does not compromise the rights of the student in the formal process. 2. The faculty member will provide the student with a written statement of the specific academic integrity violation and the action/corrective measure that will be taken by the faculty member. 3. The student will have two weeks from the date of formal notification in which to file an appeal. 4. The student will be provided an appeal hearing or meeting with the Academic Integrity Board at which time the student involved may be heard and the accuracy of the charge determined. 5. At any stage of the proceedings, the student may be accompanied by a fellow student, a faculty member, or another individual of the student’s choosing. This person may not take part in the proceedings except as a witness if that individual’s testimony is deemed relevant by the Academic Integrity Board. The student must speak on his or her own behalf.

About DSU

Dakota State University

Faculty and Administrative Responsibilities

In order to implement these principles of academic integrity, it is necessary for the administration and faculty to take certain steps that will discourage academic dishonesty and protect academic integrity. Those steps include: 1. Examination security—Each faculty member or college office should safeguard examination security. 2. Testing Procedures—Faculty should take all feasible efforts to secure the testing area. 3. Instructors should inform students of the academic requirements of each course. Such information may appropriately include (a) notice of the scope of permitted collaboration, if any; (b) notice of the conventions of citation and attribution within the discipline of the course; and (c) notice of the materials that may be used during examinations and on other assignments.

Sanctions

All proven cases of academic dishonesty will be penalized as appropriate under the circumstances. Any sanctions imposed by the Academic Integrity Board, beyond those actions/corrective measures imposed by the faculty member per the course syllabus, may only be imposed following a hearing by the Academic Integrity Board and the conclusion of the student’s appeal process. The student should be notified in writing of any sanction imposed by the Academic Integrity Board and that written notification should include the board’s rationale for imposing the sanction. Any student appearing before the Academic Integrity Board a second time and found guilty a second time should expect the Board to recommend the highest level of sanction, which is expulsion from the university. Sanctions include: 1. A letter of reprimand. 2. A defined period of academic probation, with or without the attachment of conditions. 3. A defined period of academic suspension, with or without the attachment of conditions. 4. Expulsion from the university. Academic probation and academic suspension appeals will be directed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Academic Probation/Suspension (See Minimum Progression Standards)

Assessment Entry Level Assessment/Placement Testing

The Board of Regents has developed a standardized placement process to ensure that entering students are placed into math and English courses most appropriate for their ability and background. The requirements can be found in BOR Policy 2:7 Baccalaureate General Education Curriculum and BOR Policy 2:26 Associate Degree General Education Requirements. All entering students seeking an associate or baccalaureate degree must provide valid Enhanced ACT scores (within the last five years) or must take the ACT COMPASS examination in the areas of writing skills, mathematics and reading. All non-degree seeking students enrolling in English and mathematics courses must provide Enhanced ACT 16

Dakota State University

About DSU

scores or must take the ACT COMPASS examination in the areas of writing skills and mathematics Students enrolled prior to spring 2000 who have already been placed into their initial mathematics and English coursework, and transfer students who have completed equivalent general education coursework in English and mathematics are exempt from this requirement. Students transferring within the Regental system will be allowed to transfer their placement test scores and continue their sequence of courses in English and/or mathematics. For more information on the placement process for entering students, see http:// www.departments.dsu.edu/assessment/students/default.htm

Pre-General Education Courses

Based on entering students’ Enhanced ACT score or their ACT COMPASS examination, students may be required to take pre-general education courses. Pre-general education courses include ENGL 033, MATH 021, MATH 101 and LART 110. Unless granted an exception, students are required to enroll in the initial English, Math and reading coursework indicated by the placement process. Students placed in pre-general education courses must enroll in and complete the courses within the first 30 regental credit hours attempted. If a student does not complete the pre-general education course(s) within the first 30 credit hours attempted, a registration hold is placed on the student’s record. During the next 12 credit hours attempted, the student must enroll in and complete the pre-general education course(s). If the pre-general education course(s) is not completed within the first 42 regental credit hours attempted, the only course(s) in which a student may enroll is the pre-general education course(s); and the student’s status is changed from degree seeking to non-degree seeking. Transfer students entering with 42 or more credit hours, who are still in need of pregeneral education coursework, are required to enroll in the necessary pre-general education coursework during their first 30 credits attempted in the regental system. Students who are placed into MATH 021 are expected to successfully complete both MATH 021 with a grade of “RS” and MATH 101 with a grade of “C” or better before enrolling in MATH 102. However, a student who performs exceptionally well in MATH 021 may petition the VPAA to bypass MATH 101 and enroll in MATH 102 as their next mathematics course. These students must sit for the COMPASS Math placement exam and earn scores that meet or exceeds the placement score necessary for enrolling in MATH 102. Credit hours for the pre-general education courses are included in the total number of credit hours attempted. The grades assigned for courses numbered less than 100 will be RS (remedial satisfactory) and RU (remedial unsatisfactory).

General Education Assessment/Proficiency Testing

It is the policy of Dakota State University to assess the general education component of the curriculum on an annual basis. The assessment process is intended to evaluate the general education curriculum and to determine if the general education goals have been met. (Goals are listed under graduation requirements.) General education assessment activities will be completed on a selected day during the first two weeks of November and again on a selected day during the last two weeks of March (DSU Assessment Days). Students complete exams covering reading, writing, math, science reasoning, information literacy and technology skills. 17

Dakota State University

1. Requirement Satisfactory performance on the proficiency examination is required for all students seeking a baccalaureate or associate degree from the South Dakota Unified System of Higher Education. To be eligible to receive an associate or baccalaureate degree from a Regental university, students must fulfill the proficiency examination requirement as specified within this policy. Enrolled students who have already earned a baccalaureate degree are exempt from this requirement. 2. Criteria for Test Eligibility A. Baccalaureate 1. Degree-seeking students registered for credit. 2. Completion of 48 passed credit hours at or above the 100 level. Students will sit for the examination during the first semester in which they become eligible in terms of passed credit hours. B. Associate 1. Degree seeking students registered for credit. 2. Completion of 32 passed credit hours at or above the 100 level. Students will sit for the examination during the first semester in which they become eligible in terms of passed credit hours. 3. Deferments Students who meet the eligibility requirements but, due to extenuating circumstances, are unable to sit for the examination may petition the Vice President for Academic Affairs for a deferment prior to the test date or no later than the final day of the semester in which the examination should have been taken. Students granted deferments will sit for the examination during the next administration following the end of the deferment. 4. Consequences of Noncompliance Failure to sit for the examination as scheduled, whether initially or following a deferment, will result in denial of subsequent registration at all regental institutions. Students who have been denied registration due to failure to take the proficiency examination may apply for readmission after two academic terms (fall, spring, or summer). If readmitted, they must sit for the examination during the next administration. Failure to do so will result in immediate administrative withdrawal. 5. Retesting Students are required to perform satisfactorily on all components of the examination. Students failing to achieve the minimum proficiency level on one or more of the components will be allowed the opportunity to retest. Students failing to test satisfactorily in the fall must retest no later than the following fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, and students failing in the spring must retest no later than the following springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration. In the interim, students may continue to enroll in courses. When first sitting for the examination, students must take the examination as a whole. When retesting, however, students will take only those components on which a satisfactory score was not achieved. Students who must retest on one or more components may retake each one up to two times within the time frame allowed as outlined above. All retests must be taken during the regularly scheduled test administration periods in the fall and spring. 18

Dakota State University

About DSU

As preparation for retesting, students are required to develop, in collaboration with the development plan advisor, a development plan for remediation to be completed within one year. 6. Unsatisfactory Performance on the Retest Students who do not achieve the minimum satisfactory proficiency level on the retest will be denied subsequent registration at all regental institutions. Application for readmission will be contingent upon satisfactory performance on the proficiency examination. Students may arrange for retesting during any subsequent administration of the examination. Students may apply to retest at any regental institution. Students who perform satisfactorily on the retest will be allowed to register for the next term. 7. Appeals for Certification of Proficiency by Alternate Methods Students failing to achieve the minimum satisfactory proficiency level as provided in section 6 above may appeal to an institutional review panel for certification of proficiency using alternate methods. Such certifications must be confirmed by the senior administrator of the Board of Regents. 8. Transfer Students Transfer students are subject to and must meet the proficiency examination requirements. Transfer students within the South Dakota Unified System of Higher Education are subject to the policy as outlined above. For students who have been denied registration due to failure to take the proficiency examination, applications for readmission will be filed with and resolved by the receiving institution. 9. Proficiency Examination Fees Each university is authorized to charge students fees to cover the cost of retesting. 10. Reasonable Accommodations Each institution shall give students prior notice that it will provide reasonable accommodations for test takers in keeping with institutional practices implementing the South Dakota Human Relations Act of 1972, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. (Refer to Board of Regents Policy 1:19.) 11. Classes Missed During Test Administration Participation in the proficiency examination as scheduled constitutes a university excused absence. The university will supply each student with a notice to that effect. Students required to participate in the proficiency examination process may not be penalized in either their courses or in official university activities. Students required to participate in the proficiency examination will be allowed to make up any class events, including quizzes and exams, given during their absence. Students must be assured equity by being given make up exams, quizzes/assignments of equivalent content and expectations and within a reasonable time of the excused absence.

General Education Course Requirements/Proficiency Testing

All students must complete 30 hours of system-wide general education courses in their first 64 credit hours. The following 18 credit hours of the System General Education Requirements must be completed in the first 48 credit hours. Completion of these courses prepares students for the proficiency exams. 19

Major Field Assessment

All students enrolled in associate and baccalaureate degree programs and teacher certification programs are required to participate in major field assessment. Students who have not participated in the major field assessment will not graduate. Major field assessment activities will be completed on selected days during the fall and spring semesters. All daytime undergraduate on-campus classes will be cancelled for one day in the fall semester and one day in the spring semester. Candidates for graduation from teacher education programs will complete their major field assessment in education during the semester of student teaching.

Class Attendance

A student is expected to be present for all scheduled class sessions. If a class is missed, it is the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to make up any assignments/projects for those missed classes. Students who are on academic probation must have 100% class attendance. Students on academic probation who fail to maintain 100% class attendance will be administratively suspended from the university. A student who participates in an off-campus event sponsored by the institution (including, but not limited to, athletic events and club-sponsored trips) is expected to speak with his/her instructors prior to his/her class absence. The student is responsible for all material covered in class during his/her absence, as well as assignments given out during missed classes and assignments due during travel. 21

Final Exams

All courses must have a final examination activity. To determine your final exam schedule: find the final exam schedule on the DSU website and the time slot that corresponds with the weekly schedule for a class. The final for that class will be given in that time slot. PLEASE NOTE: Courses delivered other than face to face may schedule their final evaluation activity during the last, regularly scheduled class period or during finals week at the regular class time. Check the class syllabus to verify the time of the final exam. The Vice President for Academic Affairs prepares the fall and spring final week schedule. The most current exam schedule is available to students in the semester schedule or through Enrollment Services on-line at http://www.departments.dsu.edu/registrar/ catalog/schedule/ No student will be required to participate in more than three evaluative activities on any one day of the final week. Permission to reschedule a final evaluative activity should be sought before mid-semester if at all possible. The student, after consulting with his or her advisor, should petition the dean(s) responsible for the course to be changed by completing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Request to Change Final Week Scheduleâ&#x20AC;? form which is available in the college offices or online at www.dsu.edu/forms. The dean(s) will coordinate and approve the necessary rescheduling. Any changes or deviations in the schedule for an individual student must have advance approval of the dean in whose college the course is taught.

Grade Point Average Definition

The following grade point averages are calculated each academic term (Fall, Spring, Summer). Institutional GPA - based on credits earned at a specific Regental university. Utilized to determine if degree requirements have been met and to determine Honors Designation at Graduation. System Term GPA - based on credits earned at any of the six Regental universities within a given academic term (Fall, Spring, Summer). Utilized to determine minimum progression status. Transfer GPA - based on credits earned and officially transferred from an accredited college or university outside the Regental system. When a letter grade that normally calculates into the grade point average exists for a non-academic course (e.g. credit earned via examination), if will be included in the transfer GPA. Cumulative GPA - based on all credits earned by the student (transfer credit plus system credit). Utilized to determine minimum progression status and to determine if degree requirements have been met.

About DSU

Dakota State University

Grade Point Average

Any course in which a grade of A, B, C, D, or F is earned is used to calculate the grade point average. Each grade is worth a specific number of honor points: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. The number of honor points earned for each class is computed by multiplying the points given for the letter grade by the hours of credit in the course. The total number of honor points earned is then divided by the total number of credit hours attempted (includes only those classes in which grades of A, B, C, D, F were earned). The result is the cumulative grade point average. Example: Grade Hours in Course Total Honor Points A(4) 3 12 B(3) 3 9 C(2) 3 6 D(1) 3 3 F(0) 3 0 Total hours attempted = 15 Total honor point earned = 30 30/15 = 2.000 grade point average.

Grade Reports

Final grades will be reported for all students. Final grades are available to students on-line, generally one week after the end of the semester. Each student receives information on how to access his/her grades in the mail prior to the end of their first semester at DSU. That access information remains current as long as the student is enrolled at any Regental institution. Students needing a record for employer reimbursement can print the unofficial transcript online.

Grade Appeal Process

It is the obligation of each instructor to inform students at the beginning of each course of the objectives, requirements, performance standards and evaluation procedures for the course. This information should be in writing and incorporated into the current syllabus for the course. (See Academic Integrity policy for issues dealing with academic dishonesty.) If a student believes that the final grade assigned in a course was inappropriate, he/ she may appeal that grade by filing a formal grade appeal within 15 days of the start of the next academic session.* Appropriate grounds for a grade appeal include: 1. Assignment of a grade on some basis other than the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance and participation in the course, or 2. Evaluation of his/her work, using more stringent or demanding criteria than were applied to other students in the class, or 3. A major departure from the instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s published or announced standards for assigning grades. * Academic sessions include fall, spring and summer terms. Students who wish to challenge an action taken in a spring term must bring their challenge during the immediately following summer term if they enroll during summer; otherwise, they may bring their challenge in the following fall term. To begin the appeal process, the student should detail his/her concerns in writing to the instructor and should request a meeting with the instructor to discuss the matter. The official Grade Appeal Form (found on the DSU web site or at the college office) should accompany the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter to the instructor. This meeting between the instructor and 24

Dakota State University

About DSU

the student should be scheduled as soon as possible after the written notice is received. It may be conducted in person, by phone, or via e-mail. The instructor should provide his/ her decision on the grade appeal to the student within two weeks of student’s letter to the instructor. The instructor’s decision should be provided in writing to the student and should be accompanied by the official Grade Appeal Form. If the student feels the issue has not been resolved, he/she may ask the dean of the college offering the course to act as a mediator. This request for mediation must be made in writing to the dean within two weeks of the student’s notification by the instructor. The student’s written request for mediation should include copies of the original documentation provided to the instructor by the student, the signed Grade Appeal Form, the student’s written notification from the instructor, and any additional pertinent information. The dean’s role in the grade appeal process is to mediate the matter in consultation with the instructor and the student. This mediation should occur as soon as possible after the written notice is received. The dean should summarize the outcome of this mediation for the student and the instructor within two weeks of the student’s written request to the dean. The dean’s summary should be provided in writing to the student and the instructor and should be accompanied by the official Grade Appeal Form. If the student feels the issue has not been resolved, he/she may ask the Vice President for Academic Affairs to refer the issue to a review committee. This request must be made in writing to the Vice President of Academic Affairs within two weeks of the student’s notification by the dean. The student’s written request for review should include copies of the original documentation provided to the instructor by the student, the signed Grade Appeal Form, the student’s written notification from the instructor, the student’s request to the dean and the dean’s notification to the student and the instructor. The Vice President of Academic Affairs should appoint a committee of three faculty members and two students to review the appeal and make a recommendation for resolution of the issue to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The committee should reach a decision within two weeks of notification appointment. This decision should be provided in writing to the student and the instructor by the Vice President for Academic Affairs within 1 week of receipt from the committee.

Grade Deletion (Academic Amnesty)

It is the policy of Dakota State University to allow qualifying students to remove coursework from the calculation of their grade point averages (GPA) according to the following process if the student: 1. Is an undergraduate, full-time or part-time, degree-seeking student at one of the universities in the South Dakota Regental system. 2. Has not been enrolled in any Regental university for a minimum of three calendar years (9 consecutive terms including Fall, Spring, and Summer) prior to the most resent admission to the home institution. 3. Has completed a minimum of 24 graded credit hours taken at any Regental university with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 for the 24 credit hours after the most recent admission to the home institution. 4. Has not earned a baccalaureate degree from any university. 5. Has not been granted any prior academic amnesty at any Regental university. 6. Has submitted a formal Academic Amnesty Petition at his/her home university following the procedures established by that university. Academic amnesty does not apply to individual courses. Academic amnesty may be requested for either: a) all previous post-secondary education courses or b) all previous 25

About DSU

Dakota State University

post-secondary education course at a specific institution. If academic amnesty is granted, it shall not be rescinded. Courses for which academic amnesty is granted will: • Remain on the student’s permanent record • Be recorded on the student’s undergraduate transcript with the original grade followed by an asterisk (*). • Not be included in the calculation of the student’s grade point average because no credit is given. • Not be used to satisfy any of the graduation requirements of the current degree program. Academic amnesty decisions will be made by the student’s home institution and will be honored by all other institutions within the South Dakota Regental system. Universities outside of the South Dakota Regental system are not bound by the academic amnesty decisions made by the South Dakota Regental system. Regental graduate programs and graduate professional schools may consider all previous undergraduate course work when making admission decisions. Students considering academic amnesty are urged to discuss the process with their advisers. Students applying for academic amnesty under this policy must complete the “Grade Deletion Application” form, located in the College office, or online at www.dsu. edu/forms/ , which requires the student’s signature as well as the signature of the student’s adviser. The form is then submitted to the DSU Registrar for review. The student and academic advisor are notified of the outcome by the Registrar.

Repeating a Course

A student may repeat any course to improve the course grade. A student is allowed a total of 3 takes for undergraduate courses (001-499) for which credit is counted toward graduation once. The student must petition the Vice President for Academic Affairs for permission to take an undergraduate course more than 3 times. The Audit (AU) grade is the only grade that does not count as a take of a course. All other grades, including a withdrawal (W) count as a take of a course. All completed courses remain on the student’s transcript but only the last grade earned will be counted in the cumulative grade point average. (see BOR Policy 2:5-11). Please refer to BOR Policy 2:8 and BOR Policy 2:10 for additional information on grade point average calculations, academic amnesty and repeated enrollment in the same course.

Independent Study

Students interested in independent study must obtain permission to register for independent study coursework from the dean’s office. A syllabus for that particular offering must be approved by the dean of the college prior to the scheduled beginning of the offering.

Dakota State University

About DSU

1. A student with a cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better is considered to be in good academic standing. 2. If a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 in any academic term (i.e. fall, spring, summer), the student is placed on academic probation the following term. 3. While on academic probation, the student must earn a system term grade point average of 2.0 or better. 4. When a student on academic probation achieves a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better, the student is returned to good academic standing. 5. A student on academic probation who fails to maintain a system term grade point average of 2.0 or better is placed on academic suspension for a minimum period of two academic terms. 6. Students on academic suspension will not be allowed to register for any coursework at any Regental university except when an appeal has been approved by the Regental university from which the student is pursuing a degree. An approved appeal granted by one Regental university will be honored by all Regental universities. Also refer to policy 2:3.3.G Suspended Students. 7. Only Academic Suspension will be entered on the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transcript. Academic probation will be noted in the internal academic record only. Progression and graduation are contingent on satisfactory performance on the Proficiency Examination. Refer to BOR policy 2:28. All students seeking admission to Dakota State University with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average or who do not meet regular admissions standards will be reviewed by the Student Readmission Committee, which determines admissibility and sets any special requirements for admission or readmission.

Readmission

A student placed on academic suspension may re-enroll only upon successful petition for readmission to the Student Readmissions Committee. The expectation of the university is that a student placed on academic suspension will sit out at least two academic terms. However, the Student Readmission Committee is empowered to grant immediate reinstatement. Students readmitted from academic suspension enter on academic probation unless they have completed coursework, at another institution, which moves their cumulative GPA above the 2.0 minimum requirement. Students which the committee recommends for readmission must maintain 100 percent class attendance. Classes missed as a result of illness or emergency circumstances must be reported to his/her instructors at the first opportunity. Students who maintain less than regular class attendance will be administratively suspended. The committee may also specify the courses to be taken and the maximum number of credit hours to be carried by the student during the first semester of readmission. When petitioning for readmission from academic suspension, the burden of proof rests with the student to demonstrate 1) a full understanding of the factors which resulted in his/her poor academic performance, 2) a plan for overcoming previous obstacles and 3) a firm commitment to produce entirely acceptable results. A student who has been readmitted on academic probation from academic suspension and who does not maintain good academic standing may not petition for immediate reinstatement.

All graduate transfer courses and transfer grades judged to be acceptable by the evaluating university, are recorded and evaluated by the Regental university, calculated into grade point averages according to the Regental grade scheme, and recorded on the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic transcript. B. If transfer credits are judged acceptable; these courses will be recorded, and equivalencies granted, using the following guidelines: 1) If there are specific equivalent graduate courses at the university evaluating the credit, these specific courses should be used when granting equivalencies. 2) If there are no equivalent graduate courses at the university evaluating the credit, these courses will be recorded, and equivalencies granted, using the following guidelines: a. If the academic discipline is available at the university evaluating the credit, but there is no discipline equivalent course, use the discipline prefix and the appropriate course level (700 for masters programs and 800 for doctoral programs). b. If the academic discipline in not available at the university evaluating the credit, use the GEN prefix and the appropriate course level (700 for masters programs and 800 for doctoral programs). C. Transfer grades not existing in the Regental grading scheme will be equated to the Regental grading system. D. In subsequent evaluation, all equivalencies may be re-evaluated, inactivated, or changed. Additional equivalencies may be added and evaluated. In subsequent evaluations, grades previously recorded cannot be changed. E. The university-specific plan of study requirements determine if the courses transferred are applicable to the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree program at that university and if they meet the minimum grade criteria. 6. Transfer Courses Received from Accredited Postsecondary Technical Institutes A. An academic course is defined as a course that is equivalent to a Regental general education requirement at the 100 or 200 level. B. A technical course is defined as a non-academic course that meets the technical program requirements for a diploma, certificate, or Associate of Applied Science degree.

Enrollment Overload

Enrollment overloads must be approved by the dean of the college at their home institution in which the student is enrolled. The studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grade point average for the previous term is used as the minimum criteria for overload approval: â&#x20AC;˘ 2.75 GPA to approve enrollment overload of 19 or 20 credit hours â&#x20AC;˘ 3.00 GPA to approve enrollment overload of 21 or 22 credit hours No student will be allowed to enroll in more than 22 credit hours in one academic term, except as authorized by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Full-Time/Part-Time Enrollment

Students who are enrolled in 12 or more credits are considered full-time students for calculation of financial aid and athletic eligibility. Courses for which the student is registered as an auditor will not be considered in the term total for determination of fulltime/part-time status, but will be considered in determining overload status. Academic skill courses (000-level courses) do not count toward graduation or for determination of full-time/part-time status or athletic eligibility.

Holds/Restrictions

A restriction is an administrative hold placed on your student record that could prevent you from receiving transcripts, registering for classes, or changing your class schedule. The hold is the result of a financial or administrative obligation to the university and will remain in place until the obligation is met. Holds will be released once restitution or compliance has been met at the appropriate office.

Late Registration

A student paying tuition and fees later than the established deadlines may be accessed a late payment fee. Late registration is possible through the published deadline on the academic calendar found in the university catalog and on the DSU web site.

Registration Policies

No student will be allowed to attend a course unless officially registered, whether for college credit, as an auditor, or as a visitor by deadlines specified in the academic calendar. The academic calendar is published in the university catalog and on the DSU website. All students not enrolled in the immediately preceding semester must make application to the university. An Application for Admission form is available from Enrollment Services or may be downloaded from the DSU website. Upon acceptance to the university, the student is eligible for registration. Specific instructions for registration are sent directly by the Director of Admissions to new students. Students registering through the mail, or on-line will be required to complete the same application and to submit the same 44

support documentation required of on-campus registrants by follow-up correspondence. Students are notified of the amount of tuition, fees and other charges prior to the beginning of each term. The Vice President for Administration notifies students as to payment deadlines and processes. Students failing to make payment by the published deadline will have their registration canceled. Students wanting their registration reinstated must have the permission of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Registrations after the late registration period will not be accepted without the written approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Instructors have access to class rosters and final grade rosters. The Registrar requests instructors to notify the Registrar in writing of any student attending class but not listed on the class roster or of any student on the roster who is not attending, so that necessary action can be taken by the Registrar and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Fees and penalties may also be assessed to students for failure to meet payment deadlines.

Withdrawal

Class - A student may withdraw from a class any time from the end of the official drop/add period until the date published as last day to withdraw in the academic calendar. Students who withdraw during this time period earn a “W” in the course. The “W” grade does not affect the student’s grade point average. Students are not allowed to withdraw from specific classes after that time except under extenuating circumstances and only with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Anticipated course failure does not constitute an extenuating circumstance. University - When a student withdraws from all their courses in any academic term, they also withdraw from the University. If a student is enrolled at more than one Board of Regents institution, the student must withdraw from all courses at all institutions. In order to initiate a student’s withdrawal from the University and to notify all appropriate University offices of that withdrawal, students contact one of the following officesDSU main campus: Contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment at (605) 256-5101 or toll-free 1-888-378-9988 or email assessoffice@dsu.edu University Center students seeking a DSU major: Contact the University Center at (605) 367-5640 or toll-free 1-866-220-7085, Distance students seeking a DSU major: Contact Extended Programs at (605) 256-5049, toll-free 1-800-641-4309 or email dsuinfo@dsu.edu., Graduate students: Contact DSU Graduate Office at (605) 256-5799, toll-free 1-888378-9988 or email gradoffice@dsu.edu. The effective date of withdrawal is the date the student initiates the withdrawal process officially, either verbally or in writing, with the appropriate office. Failure to officially withdraw will result in failing grades in all courses, forfeiture of any possible refund of charges, and will impact Federal financial aid eligibility. Additionally, a student is withdrawn from the University if classes have begun and the University has administratively suspended a student for reasons such as non-payment of tuition and fees, disciplinary sanctions, etc. For more information on Refund Eligibility Following Withdrawal From School, see the Refund and Return of Federal Funds Section of this document or the University Catalog.

Refund and Return of Federal Funds Policy

A. Refund for Dropped Course - A student receives a 100% refund of tuition and fees for dropped courses within the drop/add period as outlined in the university 45

class schedule per term. Any course meeting during a standard semester which meets for less time than the standard semester shall be treated as a non-standard semester course for refund purposes. No refund shall be provided for courses dropped after that time by other than administrative action. Courses offered during summer school session are considered non-standard courses. The refund schedule for non-standard terms of enrollment is outlined in the academic calendar for that term. B. Refund for Complete Withdrawal from the University or SD Board of Regent University Consortium Enrollment q The South Dakota Board of Regents Refund Policy determines the refund calculation used for any student withdrawing from the university (or SD Board of Regents consortium enrollment) during the first sixty percent of the term. q Students who withdraw, drop out, or are expelled from the institution within the drop/add period of the term, first through the seventh day of the enrollment period, receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. Exception: Students with a room contract and/or a food service meal plan who withdraw from the institution will receive a proportional refund at the time of withdrawal up to the 60% point after which no refund is available. q Students who withdraw, drop out, or are expelled from the institution after the seventh day of a standard enrollment term for which they are assessed, may be entitled to a refund as set forth by BOR policy and federal regulation.. q Students who withdraw after sixty percent of the term has been completed receive no refunds. 1. Students Who Do Not Receive Federal Title IV Financial Aid - Students who do not receive Federal Title IV financial aid and withdraw from a university may be entitled to a refund of tuition and fees and institutional charges calculated through sixty percent of an enrollment period. The refund shall be determined by computing the percentage of an enrollment period remaining after the date of withdrawal times the tuition and institutional fees originally assessed to the student. Dates of withdrawal will be determined in the same manner as is done for students receiving Title IV federal financial aid. At no time will refunds be awarded after the 60% point of the enrollment period. 2. Students Who Receive Title IV Federal Financial Aid - The U. S. Department of Education requires all institutions to use the Return of Title IV Funds Regulation policy to calculate refunds for students who receive Federal Title IV student financial aid withdrawing from school during the first sixty percent of the term. Title IV funds refers to the federal financial aid programs authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) and includes the following programs: Federal Stafford Loans, PLUS loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal SEOG Grants, Federal ACG Grants, National SMART Grants, and other Title IV assistance. A studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s withdrawal date is when the student began the withdrawal process or officially notified DSU of intent to withdraw by contacting the DSU Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment; or when the Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment becomes officially aware the student ceased attendance without providing written notification to the university because of illness, grievous personal loss, other such 46

circumstances beyond the student’s control, the date on which the university determines is related to that circumstance; or 3) The date the student fails to meet the terms of a repayment agreement while maintaining his or her eligibility for Federal funds; or 4) The midpoint of the period for a student who leaves without notifying DSU; or 5) The date on which a student begins an academic leave of absence (DSU does not have academic leaves of absence) or 6) At DSU’s option, the student’s last documented date of academically-related activity. Return of Title IV Funds is based on “earned” and “unearned” financial aid as related to the period of time the student was enrolled. Institutional charges comprise the amounts that had been assessed (paid or unpaid) and are not used in determining the Return of Title IV funds for a withdrawing student. During the first 60% of the period (academic term) a student “earns” Title IV funds and other applicable aid on a per diem prorated manner based on a percentage of the enrolled period by dividing the number of days a student attended by the number of days in the period. Calendar dates are used, except breaks of at least 5 days are excluded from the calculation. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns all aid (100%) for the period. The “unearned” Title IV funds must be returned to the aid programs. Unearned aid is the amount of disbursed Title IV aid that exceeds the amount of Title IV aid earned based on attendance in the enrollment period. Uncoverable charges are derived from the unearned percentage calculation for the period multiplied by the institutional charges. Repayment of unearned aid is first paid by any refunded tuition, fees and other institutional charges. The student owes the difference between the total unearned amount and the refunded institutional charges. Return of Title IV funds are allocated in the following order: Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Federal ACG Grant, National SMART Grant, Federal SEOG Grant, other Title IV assistance, other federal sources of aid, other state, institutional, and private aid, and last to the student. Responsibilities q DSU is responsible for providing information on the Return of Title IV Funds policy and procedure to students. Procedures for 100% withdrawal from DSU are available in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment which includes steps to exit the university and to document your official withdrawal date. DSU is also responsible to complete calculations of the Return of Title IV Funds for federal financial aid recipients who are withdrawing from DSU and to return any Title IV funds to the respective Title IV fund accounts. q The student is responsible to repay any Title IV funds that the student was determined to be ineligible for via the Return of Title IV funds calculation. C. Return of Title IV Funds Federal Financial Aid Recipients - Institutions are required by the U.S. Department of Education to use the Return of Title IV Funds Regulations as our policy in calculating refunds for students withdrawing from school who are receiving Federal student financial aid. This regulation is based on “earned” and “unearned” financial aid as it related to the period of time the student is enrolled. Institutional charges comprise the amounts that had been assessed (paid or unpaid) and are not used in determining the Return of Title IV Funds for a withdrawing student. During the first 60% of the period a student “earns” 47

Title IV funds and other applicable aid based on a percentage of the enrolled period by dividing the number of days a student attended by the number of days in the period. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns all aid for the period and no return is required. For more information and examples of Return of Title IV Funds related to withdrawal see the DSU Catalog. Return of Title IV Funds Examples Example A: Student withdraws on the 27th of a 108-day period for a 25% earned financial aid disbursement. The institutional charges were $1,600. The total Title IV aid disbursed was $2,400, with $1,600 going to institutional charges and $800 going to the student. Earned aid : $2,400 (aid disbursed) x .25% = $600 Unearned aid to be returned: $2,400 - $600 = $1,800 Unearned percentage: 100- 25% (earned) = 75% unearned Uncoverable charges: 75% (unearned) x $1,600 (charges) = $1,200 The institutional share is the lesser of $1,800 (unearned aid to be returned) and $1,200 (uncoverable charges). The studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share is $1,800 (unearned aid) - $1,200 (uncoverable charges) = $600 Thus, the total $1,800 Return of Title IV Funds has the institutional share of $1,200 (75% of $1,600 used for payment) and the student share of $600 (75% of $800 paid to student). Example B: Same as A, except the student withdraws on the 65th day of a 108 day period (60.2%). No Return of Title IV Funds calculation is needed since the withdrawal date is after the 60% point of the enrollment D. Refunds of Residence Hall and Food Service Fees 1. Residence Hall Fees - Students with a room contract who withdraw from the institution will receive a pro-rata refunds for the entire semester. 2. Food Service Fees - Students with a food service contract who withdraw from the institution will receive a proportional refund at the time of withdrawal up to the sixty percent point after which no refund is available. The balance of flex plan dollars will be refunded at 100%. E. Military Service - Refunds for Books Refunds for books for military personnel called up for active duty is as follows: 1) New books with no markings or writing - 100% of purchase price 2) New books with highlighting or writing - 75% of purchase price 3) Books purchased used - 100% of used price Books must be returned within the semester. Normal campus refund policies apply to books that are not returned prior to the end of the semester. F. Military Service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Withdrawal Without Penalty Students required to withdraw from state supported institutions before completing a semester may receive credit or refund privileges if they are regularly enrolled and belong to a military unit called for duty or are drafted and not eligible for deferment, and, the discontinuance of class attendance is on the last practicable day before reporting for duty as determined by the college or university in which they are enrolled. Eligible students who are required to report for military duty not earlier than four 4 calendar weeks prior to the date a semester ends as stated in the official catalog of the institution, or after completion 48

Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

In order to receive Federal Student Aid, the U.S. Department of Education requires that students maintain satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their degree. Federal Student Aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant, National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grant (LEAP), Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidized and Unsubsidized), and Federal PLUS Loan. Also, other Federal Agencies may require students to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress for their aid programs. The academic record of all students will be monitored to ensure compliance with the requirements specified below. Therefore, even the academic record of those who have not received Federal Student Aid in the past may impact future eligibility. Failure to meet the following standards will result in financial aid suspension of eligibility for Federal Student Aid.

Qualitative Measures Undergraduate Students:

An undergraduate student must meet minimum academic progression standards as established by the South Dakota Board of Regents. These standards are based on the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cumulative grade point average and system term grade point average. The system term grade point average is based on credits earned from the six Board of Regents 50

Dakota State University

About DSU

universities during a given term. The cumulative grade point average includes all credits earned (transfer plus system credit). All remedial and audited coursework is excluded from this calculation. Making satisfactory academic progression is as follows: 1. A student with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better is considered to be in good academic standing. 2. If a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 in any academic term (i.e. fall, spring, summer) the student is placed on academic probation the following term. 3. While on academic probation, the student must earn a system term grade point average of 2.0 or better. 4. When a student on academic probation achieves a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better, the student is returned to good academic standing. 5. A student on academic probation who fails to maintain a system term grade point average of 2.0 or better is placed on academic suspension for a minimum period of two academic terms. A review takes place at the end of every term (summer, fall, spring). A student placed on academic suspension is also placed on financial aid suspension. Being reinstated academically does not guarantee financial aid reinstatement. The student must separately appeal the financial aid suspension as outlined below (Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension).

Graduate Student:

A graduate student must meet all requirements listed above with a minimum grade point average of 3.0.

Quantitative Measures (completed credits versus attempted credits)

In order to maintain satisfactory progress toward the completion of their degree, all students must successfully complete 67% of cumulative attempted credit hours. Attempted credit hours include all hours that would appear on a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic transcript at the end of any given term, including withdrawals, incompletes, repeated courses, remedial coursework, transfer hours and hours attempted at any time when not receiving Federal Student Aid. Audited coursework is not included. Hours that may have been part of a successful academic amnesty appeal will still be included. Successfully completed hours for both graduate and undergraduate students include grades of A, B, C, D and S. A grade of EX for undergraduate students is also considered successful completion. All other grades would not be considered successful completion. Evaluation of this quantitative standard will be measured once per year, generally at the end of the spring term.

Maximum Attempted Credit Hours (student degree program hours)

The U.S. Department of Education has established a limit on the number of credit hours a student can attempt and still remain eligible for Federal Student Aid. This limit is based on 150% of the credit hours needed to complete the degree for which the student is pursuing. Type of Degree Maximum Credit Hours Attempted Certificate - Health Care Coding (34-hour program) 51 Certificate - Not-for-Profit Management (18-hour program) 27 Certificate - Programming and Systems Development (24-hour program) 36 Associate of Science in Health Information Technology (67-hour program) 101 Associate of Arts or Associate of Science (64-hour program) 96 Associate of Science in Respiratory Care (74-hour program) 111 Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science in Education (128-hour program) 192 51

Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension

Students who have had their eligibility for Federal Student Aid suspended may complete an appeal form to explain mitigating circumstances. There is no guarantee for approving a financial aid eligibility appeal. Such appeals will be dealt with on a case-bycase basis. An appeal form is available in the Financial Aid Office or on-line at www.departments.dsu.edu/financial/financial-aid-forms.htm. To ensure a timely review, students must have submitted an appeal prior to the census date of the term for which they wish to receive aid. Based upon the circumstances of an approved appeal, the Appeal Committee reserves the right to place conditions which the student must meet in order to be considered for financial aid on a probationary basis for subsequent semesters. Students suspended from receiving Federal Student Aid must appeal to the Financial Aid Appeal Committee, which is separate from and in addition to the academic appeal process. Being reinstated academically does not guarantee financial aid reinstatement. A notification will be provided to the student regarding the financial aid appeal decision.

Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility

Students who have lost their Federal Aid eligibility, but have subsequently met the qualitative and/or quantitative standards as stated above, will have their aid eligibility reinstated. Reinstatement will be considered effective with the next term of attendance.

Satisfactory Academic Progress and Non-Federal Aid

There are also non-federal sources of financial assistance (institutional, local, private, state), which may require students to meet satisfactory academic progress standards. Students who apply for non-federal forms of aid are advised to review their academic standards in order to determine or ensure continued eligibility.

Graduation Requirements and Procedures Application for Graduation

Each candidate for graduation, including students completing coursework offcampus, must apply formally to the Registrar by the deadline specified in the academic calendar. Failure to meet the required deadline results in the degree confirmation at a later graduation date. Graduation application forms are available in the Office of Enrollment Services and online at www.departments.dsu.edu/registrar/application4graduation.doc.

Degree Residency Requirements Philosophy and Rationale

Dakota State University has residency requirements for baccalaureate majors, minors and associate degrees in order to assess, test, and observe studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learning and acquisition of academic skills. This is necessary since, in granting a degree, DSU is certifying studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knowledge and skills to perspective employers, to other universities, and to concerned individuals (see BOR Policy 2:29). 52

Dakota State University

About DSU

Purpose:

1. Expose students to the knowledge, competencies, and experience deemed essential for degrees conferred by the institution. 2. Certify that students have met institutional standards. 3. Provide faculty with the basis to act as a reference for students seeking employment.

Students with declared majors are assigned a faculty advisor who has been specifically designated to assist such students. New students are encouraged to meet with their advisors during the first four weeks of the first semester of study in order to get acquainted and discuss career and educational plans. Thereafter, students meet on a regular basis with their advisor to review midterm grades, assess progress and discuss pre-registration procedures for the next semester. The university encourages continual communication between faculty and students to enhance the advisement process. Each student is responsible for knowing and meeting degree and graduation requirements as listed in the appropriate catalog. More information on academic advising can be found in the online advising handbooks: Faculty Advising Handbook - http://www.courses.dsu.edu/onlineadvising/ Student Advising Handbook - http://www.courses.dsu.edu/onlineadvisingstudents/ 55

Americans with Disabilities (ADA)

Dakota State University

It is the policy of Dakota State University to comply with all federal and state requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other similar statutes and regulations as promulgated federally and by the State of South Dakota. Dakota State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the employment activities. The Vice President for Business Administration has been designated to coordinate compliance with the non-discrimination requirements contained in Section 35.107 of the Department of Justice regulations. Information concerning the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the rights provided thereunder are available from the ADA Coordinator, Keith Bundy. (Telephone: 605-256-5121). The university does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the admission process or in access to programs or activities. To this end, the university has formed a committee (ADA Educational Programs Committee) whose purpose is to help ensure individuals with disabilities have the full benefit of education programs offered by the university in compliance with the above laws. This policy is part of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total response to the Americans with Disabilities Act. (See DSU Policy 1-02-00) Procedures: 1. An individual with a documented disability wishing academic accommodations to programs and/or services must contact the ADA Academic Coordinator, Keith Bundy, Lower Level of Trojan Center (Telephone: 605-256-5121). www.departments.dsu.edu/disability_services/ Documentation must be no older than three years from the date of application/ request for program modifications. Documentation will consist of medical or other diagnostic documentation of disability or limitations. 2. A formal written application for consideration of an academic accommodation must be submitted along with professional documentation of the disability as soon as possible prior to the time the accommodation is needed. It is recom mended that, when applicable, requests be filed on initial admission to the university. No action can be taken by the university until the formal application and documentation are provided. Upon receipt of the completed application, the ADA Academic Coordinator, together with a university consultant, will make decisions on requests for common learning and testing accommodations. In all other requests for accommodations, the chair of the ADA Educational Programs Committee will schedule a meeting of the ADA Educational Programs Committee for no later than ten working days after receipt of application. Each applicant will be handled and reviewed individually. The applicant will be notified in writing of the meeting place, date and time. The applicant may elect to attend the meeting if he/she so chooses. a. The purpose of the meeting with the ADA Educational Programs Committee is to discuss appropriate and reasonable accommodations to be recommended to the university administrator(s) responsible for effecting the accommodations. The committee, the applicant, and experts or advocates requested to be present by the committee or the applicant will discuss the request for accommodations and evaluation of document tation, if any, provided by a university consultant. The goal is to reach agreement on the type and extent of accommodations to give the student appropriate access to classroom information and tests that measure their knowledge without fundamentally altering the program. The resulting recommendations and minutes of the meeting will be forwarded to the 56

Dakota State University

About DSU

vice president or designee for final approval and action. If the applicant elects not to meet with the committee, the committee makes recommendations based upon the applicant’s written application, documentation, and other submitted material. The student is notified of the committee’s decision by the chair. b. If the requested accommodations would result in a fundamental alteration of the service/program and/or requirements for the university, the committee will declare the need for further review of the request. The minutes of the meeting, without recommendations for accommodations, will be forwarded to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or his/her designee for further review and action. The Vice President for Academic Affairs or designee will make a final decision regarding program or service modifications and prepare a written statement to the student on the decision and the reason for the decision within ten (10) working days after receiving the minutes of the meeting. Copies of official minutes, letters of notification and all documents, including the original application, professional documentation, and related correspondence, will be filed with the ADA Academic Coordinator, declared personal and confidential, and thereafter communicated only to those who have a need to know, in accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act. Files will be maintained during the student’s enrollment and destroyed three years after the individual’s last official affiliation with the university as a student. 3. The Vice President for Academic Affairs or his/her designee will notify faculty and/or other university personnel who will be responsible for implementing the accommodations within ten (10) working days of the decision so as to ensure that the accommodations are in place for the individual at the earliest possible time in a new semester or new setting. If the documentation received suggests an accommodation, DSU will implement the recommended accommodation until such time that it is determined by the ADA Educational Programs Committee that the academic program is altered by said accommodation. Faculty/university personnel are required to maintain the confidentiality of the process, to strictly adhere to the officially designated accommodations, to share any problems or concerns only with their administrator or the Vice President for Academic Affairs or his/her designee, and to support the student’s full and equal participation in the program or service. The student will notify the ADA Academic Coordinator in the event that accommodation arrangements are not carried out in the recommended manner. Should individuals need additional accommodations, they may request a new meeting with the committee by contacting the ADA Academic Coordinator. 4. Faculty or other university personnel who are responsible for implementing accommodations for a student are encouraged to provide pertinent progress checks and make suggestions or address concerns regarding future services. Any formal evaluations must be submitted to the ADA Academic Coordinator for inclusion in the file within 10 working days of termination of the faculty’s or other personnel’s responsibility to that student. The ADA Academic Coordina tor will examine all forms upon receipt and take any action deemed necessary, to include requesting another meeting of the committee. 57

5. The ADA Academic Coordinator will meet with all students served by this policy annually to determine if needs are being met. Individuals may be contacted to discuss their accommodations in more detail should it appear that adjustments or additional accommodations may be needed. A new meeting of the committee may be called and the process may be repeated beginning with step 2 above. 6. The decisions of the ADA Coordinator and/or ADA Educational Programs Committee and/or the Vice President for Academic Affairs may be appealed to the President within five (5) working days of receipt of the committee’s recommendation. The President will provide a written response to the appeal within five (5) working days of receipt of the appeal. The President’s decision may be appealed to the Office of Civil Rights, 10220 North Executive Hills Boulevard, 8th Floor, Kansas City, MO 64153-1367.

Appealing Academic or Administrative Decisions

Students are responsible for learning the content of any course of study in which they are enrolled. Under Board of Regents and university policy, student’s academic performance shall be evaluated solely on an academic basis and students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study. It is DSU’s policy to allow students to appeal the decisions of faculty, administrative and staff members and of institutional committees. If a student believes that a decision made by any of these individuals or committees was inappropriate or believes that an academic evaluation is unrelated to academic standards but is related instead to judgment of their personal opinion or conduct, he/she may appeal that decision to the official who has supervisory responsibility for that individual or committee. To begin the appeal process, the student should detail his/her concerns in writing to the appropriate official. This written statement should describe the specific act or acts which are the grounds for the appeal and should include all known information, relevant documents, names of any known witnesses, and relevant information, including a description of the appeal processes already exhausted relative to the decision. If the student’s complaint is against a vice president, the formal appeal should be directed to the President, the highest level of procedural review within the institution.

While use of the facilities is not restricted solely to faculty, staff, and students, the priority of user access varies depending on class schedules, user status and other factors. The following sections define those priorities and factors. Facility Status DSU computing facilities are divided into two classes - general access-computing facilities and limited-access computing facilities. General-access computing facilities are available for use by all authorized users except when reserved for class usage. Limitedaccess facilities are available to a specific subset of authorized users. A list of general-access and limited-access facilities is available from Computing Services. This listing will be updated by Computing Services as changes occur. Scheduled Classes Classes scheduled through the Enrollment Services Office take priority over all other usage of general-access computing facilities. Regular class schedules will be listed on the boards outside each computing lab at the beginning of each semester. It will be the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to check the scheduled class hours and vacate the lab prior to the time class is scheduled. One-time use and special classes are scheduled through the college offices. Whenever possible, such usage will be posted in advance. In all cases, non-participating users may be asked to vacate the lab when activities scheduled through Enrollment Services or the college office are in progress. General Access Any general-access computing facility that is not scheduled for a class is available for use by faculty, staff and students during regular posted hours of operation. During periods of general access, the following rules and priorities apply: A. Persons registered/enrolled in a class/workshop scheduled by the university have priority over other users. In the event that all computers are occupied, any user that cannot display a valid DSU identification may be asked to move or cease using the computing facilities at the request of a user with a valid student ID. Normally the group sponsoring the workshop is expected to schedule sufficient computing time to meet the needs of enrollees. B. All users of the computing facilities must comply with all pertinent DSU policies, including the Computing Privileges Policy (#03-61-00) and the Use of University Facilities Policy (#01-75-00). Of particular importance are those policies concerning copyright and smoking. The use of DSU computing 61

About DSU

Student Organizations

Student government is vested in the DSU Student Association Senate, which exists to help promote the general welfare of the University and to serve as an organized medium for expression of student opinion. The twenty-member Student Senate is a member of the South Dakota Federation of Student Governing Bodies, which provides an avenue for student communication with the Board of Regents and the public. Students also serve on the majority of the committees involved in institutional governance. The Student Activities Board, and FNL Concert Productions plan and conduct social, educational and recreational events for the University community. These groups, through their committees, provide the foundation for activities programming on the campus and offers a variety of opportunities for student involvement. Dakota State University students publish the campus newspaper, the Trojan Times, and students work at the student campus radio station, KDSU, which broadcasts campus, local and national events and music via the internet and public address system in the student union. This publication operates under the guidelines set forth by the Student Media Board, which is composed of administration, faculty, and student representatives and is designed to provide guidance and support to this publication. Each of the academic disciplines has a student organization associated with it. Examples include the: Phi Beta Lambda Business Club, Computer Club, Health Information Management Club, Math and Science Club, South Dakota Education Association, and Students in Free Enterprise. In addition to providing opportunity for students in a given major to get better acquainted and enjoy working together, these organizations enable their members to supplement their in-class learning by inviting speakers to campus, sponsoring competitive events (both for the campus and for high school students), taking group trips, etc. These organizations also take pride in conducting service projects for the campus and the community. A number of student organizations exist because their members share a common interest or goal in areas that is other than academic. Examples include the: Gaming Club, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and the DSU Trojan Rhythm. As in the case of the academically related clubs, each of these organizations contributes to the growth of its participants and to the overall learning environment of the campus. A major responsibility of the Director of Student Activities is to work closely with officers and advisors of student organizations to identify the particular needs of their groups and to design ways and means of meeting these needs. Assistance can take the form of individual meetings between the director and organizational officers, workshops for either officers from all interested organizations or the entire membership of a particular organization, or trips to another institution to visit with counterparts.

Theatre

Students are encouraged to participate in theatre productions. These activities are available for the student interested in performing or working with the technical aspects of theatre productions. Productions are staged in the Dakota Prairie Playhouse and range from a principle production each semester to student-directed, one-act plays.

If the Bookstore is unable to buy the textbook, the Nebraska Book Company may purchase the book at wholesale prices.

Campus Housing

Dakota State University is committed to providing residence halls which are comfortable and safe and which support personal growth. Not only does the student who lives on campus benefit from interaction with others in his/her hall, but he/she is more aware of the opportunities available on campus for learning and growth and better able to take advantage of them. It is for this reason that the South Dakota Board of Regents requires all unmarried students, during the first two years from the time they were graduated from high school and who are enrolled on a main campus for six or more credit hours, to reside on campus. A student may obtain an exemption from this requirement if they live fulltime with their parents. The combined capacity of DSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five residence halls is 690. Emry Hall is home to 154 women and Richardson houses 192 men, while Higbie Hall (capacity 148) and Zimmermann Hall (capacity 124) are coed halls, with men and women on alternate floors. The 8-plex apartment complex houses 72 students. Each of the halls is staffed with a resident director, four resident assistants and a custodian. The resident assistants are students hired by the Residence Life Office to assist the resident director in creating and maintaining a quality living-learning environment. Each hall has a hall council, elected by the occupants, that serves to promote hall spirit and involvement. Housing contracts are sent by the Admissions Office to prospective students upon admission to the University. Room assignments are made by the Residence Life Office for new students in the order that their completed contract and room deposit is received. Roommate requests will be honored when each person requests the other as a roommate. All rooms are double occupancy. Single occupancy of a double room, at the single room rate, is permitted when space is available, on the basis of seniority in terms of semester hours completed.

Respiratory Care - Bachelor of Science and Associate of Science

The Dakota State University Respiratory Care Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www. coarc.com). CAAHEP’s telephone number is 727-210-2350, and CoARC’s number is 817-283-2835. Respiratory Care is the health care discipline that specializes in the promotion of optimum cardiopulmonary function and health. Respiratory Therapists apply scientific principles to prevent, identify, and treat acute or chronic dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system. Knowledge of the scientific principles underlying cardiopulmonary physiology and pathophysiology, as well as biomedical engineering and technology, enable respiratory therapists to effectively assess, educate, and treat patients. As a health care profession, Respiratory Care is practiced under medical direction across the health care continuum. Respiratory Care is specifically focused on the assessment, treatment, management, control, diagnostic evaluation, education, and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system as well as on the prevention of the development of these deficiencies. Critical thinking, patient/environment assessment skills, and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines enable respiratory therapists to develop and implement effective care plans, patient-driven protocols, disease-based clinical pathways, and disease management programs. A variety of venues serve as the practice site for this health care profession including, but not limited to: acute care hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, patients’ homes, patient transport systems, physician office, convalescent and retirement centers, educational institutions, and wellness centers. The respiratory care programs at Dakota State University (DSU) are designed as either an associate or bachelor’s degree in respiratory care. The first fall and spring semesters of the A.S. program are spent on a university campus completing general education requirements. After the first year’s classes are completed, the student has class and clinical experiences at the primary clinical affiliate hospitals (Avera McKennan and Sioux Valley Hospitals in Sioux Falls or Rapid City Regional Hospital in Rapid City). Both semesters of the third year and the fall semester of the fourth year are spent on a university campus, and the fourth spring semester is a clinical semester at the Sioux Falls hospitals. Immediately upon graduation from either the A.S. or B .S. program, you may begin employment as a graduate therapist. You are immediately eligible to take the entry level examination of the National Board for Respiratory Care to become a Certified Respiratory Therapist. Following certification, you are eligible to take the advanced written and simulation examinations of the NBRC to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist. The field of respiratory care provides excellent opportunities for those interested in a dynamic and exciting career in cardiopulmonary sciences. Salaries for respiratory therapists are excellent and compare favorably with other allied health fields. Job opportunities for new graduates are also very good. According to newly released data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the respiratory therapy profession is expected to add almost 38,000 new jobs between now and 2012, increasing the size of the profession by 35 percent and making RT one of the fastest growing occupations covered in BLS’s 20042005 Occupational Outlook Handbook. This increase in demand is expected because of substantial growth of the elderly population, and increases in the numbers of patients with asthma and chronic lung disease. 127

Bachelor of Science in Health Information Administration

The Health Information Administration Program offers preparation for a professional area of service in hospitals, clinics, and related health facilities and agencies. Graduates are prepared to serve as entry level health information administrators. The health information administrator is responsible for the management of health information systems consistent with medical, administrative, ethical and legal requirements of the health care delivery system. The profession combines knowledge of health care systems and business administration. The health information administration (HIA) program is designed to provide flexibility for the student. It consists of the Health Information Technology Program plus two years of prescribed work. The student is encouraged to read the Catalog requirements of the HIT program. A progression policy has been developed to facilitate entry into the HIA Program. Students should consult their advisors for evaluation of possible credits earned through successful completion of the Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) exam or previous work experience. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). Following graduation, students may apply to write the registration examination administered by AHIMA. Individuals who pass the examination are entitled to use the designation RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator). The Health Information Management Programs Student Handbook supplements the information outlined herein the catalog and identifies additional program specific requirements.

Admission to the Program

Formal application to the HIA Program is made during the spring semester while completing the second year courses in the HIT program. Timing will vary among transfer students without the HIT degree, but should coincide with the spring semester while completing the second year courses in the HIT program. Progression students (RHITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returning to complete the HIA degree) will apply during their first semester of enrollment. Those students who demonstrate a potential for achievement are admitted to the HIA Program. The application process requires the student to: 1. Complete a questionnaire. 2. Obtain two letters of reference from non-family members and non-AHIMA credentialed faculty. 3. Be interviewed, during which time the applicant will be presented with a problem dealing with ethics, management or professional skills to which the student will respond verbally. For distance education students, this will be done by a telephone interview. A time will be set up with the panel and the student will phone using the toll-free number (1-800-641-4309). Students on campus will complete their interview in person at a scheduled time and site at Dakota State University. 4. Complete a release form authorizing information to be reviewed by the HIA Admission Review Committee. 5. Possess a current RHIT certification or a cumulative GPA of 2.7 in all HIM courses within the HIT program as well as an overall cumulative GPA of 2.25 or above. The academic summary will be used to calculate the HIM GPA.

Vision and Mission Statement, Core Values, Conceptual Framework, and Standards of the College of Education

The 1881 Dakota Territorial Legislature established Dakota State University to prepare teachers to help meet the needs of an emerging society - that of the western frontier. Today, South Dakota again faces a new frontier - the Information Age. Dakota State University now prepares teachers to meet these new challenges and to lead the process of technological change in schools. Our graduates have the will, the expertise, and the vision to advocate for the paradigm shifts required of schools in the 21st century. The College of Education has kept the best of its heritage and tradition in teacher preparation by continuing to meet the needs of a changing profession. As the profession faces the new demands the 21st century places upon societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational structures, the College recognizes its teacher education graduates must do more than simply prepare for the coming changes. Its graduates must be empowered to actively participate in shaping the changes that will characterize schools in the future. Technology is one of the primary vehicles of change through which the teaching profession marshals its energy and collective wisdom to create the schools of the 21st century. Technology connects teachers and students to the global environment enabling them to imagine, create, evaluate, and solve problems even from distant locations. Teachers use computers to design instruction, manage classroom activities and resources, create lessons, prepare assessments, and perform tasks not yet envisioned. All Dakota State University teacher education graduates earn a certification in K-12 Educational Technology on their certificate due to the intense computing preparation they receive in their programs.

College of Education

Vision

The vision of the College of Education is to prepare highly-qualified educators and be recognized in the state and nation for outstanding programs.

Mission

The mission of the College of Education is to guide undergraduate and graduate students through the process of acquiring and applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions with emphasis on integrating technology in the teaching and learning process to positively impact K-12 learning.

Conceptual Framework

Teaching: A Journey worth taking.

Teacher Education Program Standards:

Our teacher candidates will: • understand the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the content/ subject matter/disciplines they teach and be able to create learning experiences that make these aspects meaningful for learners. • understand how children learn, construct knowledge, and develop, and be able to provide learning opportunities that support their intellectual, social and personal development. • understand how learners differ in their approaches to learning and create instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners. • understand and use a variety of instructional strategies to encourage learners’ development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills. • use an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation. • use knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom. • plan instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, the learners, the community, and curriculum goals. • understand and use formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social and physical development of the learner. • be reflective practitioners who continually evaluate the effects of their choices and actions on others (students, parents, and other professionals in the learning community) and who actively seek opportunities to grow professionally. • collaborate with school colleagues, parents, and agencies in the larger community to support students’ learning and well-being. • understand the capabilities of technology, its impact on education and be able to integrate technology into the teaching and learning process.

Title II of Higher Education Act Reporting Requirements

tion about the length of student teaching, faculty-student ratio of supervision for student teaching, and other supplementary contextual information about the teacher preparation program. This act also calls for states to establish criteria to assess the performance of teacher preparation programs including indicators of teacher candidate knowledge and skills and to identify low-performing programs of teacher preparation. During the 2006-2007 academic year, 374 students were enrolled in teacher education programs at Dakota State University. A total of 61 students were enrolled in a supervised student teaching experience during the same year. These 61 students were supervised by a total of 25 faculty members for a 2.44 student teacher/faculty ratio. The College of Education at Dakota State University is accredited by the State of South Dakota and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The College of Education has not been identified as low performing by the State of South Dakota.

Education Minors/Endorsement Programs

Graduates may seek additional certification to their primary teaching certificates authorizing them to teach in other age/grade spans and/or content areas. For example, a graduate with a degree in elementary education is awarded a certificate to teach in elementary schools in South Dakota, but may earn additional certification by completing kindergarten, gifted education, or coaching endorsement programs. Upon successful completion of additional coursework listed below, Elementary Education and Elementary Education / Special Education Program graduates may also earn certification in kindergarten, K-12 gifted education, or to coach athletics. All Dakota State University teacher education graduates complete a K-12 Educational Technology Endorsement Program. The coursework leading to the K-12 Educational Technology Endorsement Program is a part of the degree requirements for all education programs. Graduates who complete minor/endorsement programs which have content specific tests must pass the content or area specific state certification test (e.g., middle school and secondary language arts, social science, mathematics, and science). Graduates, on the other hand, who earn an endorsement in a subject or area authorization which does not require a content specific test, may be granted the endorsement based upon the successful completion of required coursework (e.g. kindergarten, K-12 educational technology endorsement). In all cases, graduates who seek additional education endorsement programs must submit an application to the South Dakota Department of Education. The Administrative Rules of South Dakota require all coursework leading to education endorsement programs must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher. Education minors/endorsement programs listed below have been approved for the applicable certification in South Dakota. For further information, contact the Certification Officer in the College of Education.

Field Experiences

Beginning with the first professional education course, all education majors have a variety of experiences in area schools which allow them to experience the application of theories learned in their coursework. Field experiences are integrated into coursework throughout the program, increasing in concentration from structured observations to instructional decision-making. The program’s unique feedback process develops effective teaching proficiencies through professional assessments. Professional education courses in all teacher education programs have a field-based component. Students who register for these classes are responsible to meet these requirements outside of the regular class meeting times. Students will be informed of field-based requirements at the beginning of each course through the course syllabus and additional information provided by the course instructor. Students must successfully complete the field-based component in order to receive course credit.

Requirements for Admission Admission to Teacher Education

Admission to teacher education is required for all students expecting to complete a teacher education program leading to initial certification in any teaching field. Students must be admitted in order to enroll in any course in the Early and Advanced Professional Blocks.

Submission of Application Packet

Admission to the teacher education program requires the submission of a formal application to the Student Assessment and Monitoring Committee, c/o College of Education. The application packet may be submitted after 32 semester hours of coursework and during the semester preceding the semester of enrollment in teacher education courses.

Requirements for Admission to the Teacher Education Program

All candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Education degree or for certification only must complete a major in a certifiable teaching area. The following requirements must be met: A.

Notification of Application Status for Admission to Teacher Education Program

Upon review of application materials, the Student Assessment and Monitoring Committee notifies students in writing of their acceptance status. Admission applications are placed in one of four categories, as follows: Admission: Applicants who meet all criteria are given this status and are granted immediate admission. Thereafter, students are free to enroll in the necessary professional education courses. Provisional Admission: Applicants who do not meet all of the criteria, but who are currently engaged in completing the missing requirements, are granted provisional admission. At the time the appropriate documentation is submitted indicating deficiencies have been removed, the student is granted full admission to the teacher education program. Denied: Students whose difficulties in meeting admission criteria are deemed severe are denied admission. These students are notified of the denied admission and referred to their adviser in order to develop a plan to correct the deficiencies. The studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adviser submits an Advisee Plan of Action form to the Chair of the Student Assessment and Monitoring Committee. A completion date is included in the plan and the Chair of the Student Assessment and Monitoring Committee monitors the completion of the plan. Upon its successful completion, the student may then resubmit an application for admission. If the student fails to complete the plan, the adviser and Chair of the Student Assessment and Monitoring Committee help the student determine whether to continue to address the problem or to explore other alternatives. Conditional Admission: Requests for variance from the admission policy may be granted in rare cases or under extraordinary circumstances. If the variance is approved, applicants may be granted Conditional Admission to the teacher education program. Conditional Admission is not granted routinely. Any student who wishes to request a variance from the admission requirements must submit a written request for consideration to the Student Assessment and Monitoring (SAM) Committee of the Professional Education Council. All requests for variance must include any and all documentation presented as evidence to support the request and must include a plan and projected date for the completion of the admission requirements. The SAM Committee will act on all requests in a timely manner.

Approval for Student Teaching

The capstone experience of the teacher education program at Dakota State University is student teaching which occurs during the final semester prior to graduation. Student teaching is a major component of the curriculum and a professional development experience. During student teaching, the aspiring teacher reconstructs and tests theory, applies it, and further develops a personal teaching style. Within student teaching, the student assumes major responsibility for the full range of teaching in an approved school situation under the guidance of qualified personnel from Dakota State University and the cooperating elementary and secondary schools. Student teachers are normally placed in only those school districts with which the College of Education has formal agreements. 190
