Academic Grievance Policy If a student has a cause for grievance in academic matters, except concerning Academic Integrity issues, the student is requested to meet with the faculty member involved. If an agreeable decision is not reached, the student should then request a meeting with the Department Chairperson and, if necessary, the Division Chairperson to discuss the matter.

Bulletin Board and Flyer Policy All student club and organization informational flyers must be approved and stamped with an expiration date by the Department of Student Activities before being posted on campus. Flyers may only be posted on those bulletin boards marked as general/informational. Please do not post flyers on office, club, or faculty/ staff bulletin boards. Do not post signs on walls, doors, or windows.

Children on Campus Policy Mount Aloysius College complies with all Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and federal laws concerning the protection of children, and will immediately report any cases of suspected child abuse or neglect to ChildLine for investigation by Child Protective Services of Cambria County or local enforcement. Mandatory Reporting Employees of Mount Aloysius College, who work with children in the course of their employment with the College, are considered mandated reporters under the law. Mandated reporters are obligated by law to make a report any time they have a reasonable suspicion that a child, they are aware of through the course of their employment, is being or has been abused. Mandated reporters are responsible to make a report to ChildLine themselves or cause a report to be made by the College’s designated reporter. Mount Aloysius has designated the Director of Counseling and Disability Services as its official designee for mandated reporting. The Director of Student Health Services shall act in this capacity in the absence of the Director of Counseling and Disability Services. Outside Organizations MAC expects all organizations that bring children to our campus to have procedures in place for appropriate background checks of the adults who work with the children, and evidence of the appropriate credentialing and supervision of the children and the staff working with them. Evidence of such procedures shall be provided to College upon request. Children on Campus MAC is committed to maintaining an appropriate academic environment for collegiate-level teaching and learning, research, co-curricular activities, and all of the related work that supports the academic life of the college. To achieve these objectives, MAC expects the full cooperation of all faculty, staff and students in observing these policies, which apply to all persons under the age of 18 who are not otherwise enrolled in programs of MAC.
