Student Success Registering for Classes Take a pause and visit the following locations on campus once your enrollment deposit is paid.

Admissions » Application completed » Official transcripts submitted Financial Aid » FAFSA filed » MPN/Entrance Counseling for Student Loans » Aid Accepted on UPIKE Self Service » Verification documents submitted (if needed) Student Success » Class Schedule/Advising Residence Life » Housing Application completed Office of Business Affairs » Balance paid or Payment Arrangement Established

Before your scheduled GROWL session, your first year advisor in the Center for Student Success (CSS) will reach out to you to talk to you about scheduling your classes for your first semester.

That first conversation will center around you - what are your interests, what drew you to UPIKE, what sort of responsibilities will you be juggling on top of being a student, and how can Student Success help support you? They will then work with you to create your schedule and are available to make schedule changes as needed through the last day to drop or add classes on the academic calendar.

Prior to registration for your second semester, you may receive information from various offices on campus if you have any holds on your account. Those holds will prevent you from being able to register until you are able to resolve them. Examples of common holds include Financial Aid holds, which require you to file your FAFSA or address any issues with your FAFSA, Business Office holds, which require you to pay your balance, or Registrar’s Office holds, which require you to submit final official transcripts from any high schools or colleges you previously attended. It is important to take care of these holds as early as possible to avoid any delay in registration. Once you resolve any holds you may have, your Student Success Advisor will help you register for your second semester.

» Promissory Note Signed at GROWL

Academic Advising The primary function of the CSS is to provide academic advising to all first-year students. Our goal is to work with you to create an individualized academic plan based on your academic program, as well as to promote freedom of choice and accountability in academic planning.

The Student Success team is here to help students, whether it’s navigating the transition from high school to college, learning to live on your own, developing good study habits, or managing your time efficiently.

Learning at UPIKE Understanding Your Curriculum UPIKE General Education curriculum is based on three learning goals.

A University of Pikeville student will 1) learn how to think, 2) learn how to learn, and 3) learn how to express. General education requirements emphasize a strong foundation in basic skills like reading, writing, speaking, problem-solving, and using technology, which will be necessary for courses you will take later on in your academic career.

There are common requirements that everyone must take, regardless of what major or career pathway you choose, and others that give you options to choose from that fall under a specific learning outcome.

FINDING

Y UR

PLACE

10

General Education Curriculum: Finding Your Place at University of Pikeville The University of Pikeville General Education Curriculum prepares students for their roles in a fast-changing 21st Century World. The General Education Curriculum positions student learning in the context of Finding Your Place at UPIKE. A curriculum that centers on place allows students to see themselves in their learning and encourages deeper connection to class material. Involving students in practices that focus on place gives them the critical skills needed to apply knowledge to world issues, whether local or global.

Understanding place begins with understanding self and one’s role in school and community and expands to include place in the physical and natural world, place in history, and place in the cultural and global world.

Common Requirements (14 credits) » First-Year Studies (2 credits) » Oral (3 credits) and Written Communication (3 credits) » Mathematics (3 credits) » Systematic Study of the Bible (3 credits) Finding Your Place Requirements (19 credits) » Personal Place (6 credits* ) » Physical and Natural Place (4 credits including lab) » Historical Place (3 credits*) » Cultural and Global Place (6 credits*) *These 15 credits must be from 5 different disciplines (disciplines are designated by prefixes such as ART, BUS, or HIS).

These 15 credits must include 3 credits of humanities/fine arts and 3 credits of social science. Typically, Social Science courses are in COM, ECN, PLS, PSY, SOC. Typically, Humanities/Fine Arts courses are in ART, ENG (if literature), FMA (if film studies), HUM, MUS, THR, SPN (if literature).

Engaging Our World Requirement (3 credits) » 3 credits in a designated course at the 300-400 level.

The goal for the course is integrative learning. In the Engaging our World course students will move from finding their place to engaging their world. The course could accomplish this goal in several ways: interdisciplinary collaboration, experiential learning, or a focus on world issues and problems. The course should be 300-400 level.

Furthermore, each major has specific requirements.

You can find information on these requirements in many different places, such as the academic catalog, on the UPIKE website, etc.

CLICK HERE UPIKE Self Service

The quickest way to assess your own progress toward both the general education requirements and those specific to your chosen major(s) or minor(s) is to work with your Student Success Advisor or faculty advisor to review your academic evaluation.

This can be accessed in Self Service at upike.edu/selfservice

Life in the Classroom Syllabus Your professors will give you a syllabus for each course you are enrolled in. Each syllabus will include the most important information about the class. You’ll find course objectives, learning outcomes, instructor contact information, course description, required readings, assignments, and university policies. It’s a good idea to put all the important dates from the course syllabus in your planner right away so you will be better prepared as the semester progresses. All first-year students are provided a free planner in FS 102.

Canvas Canvas is the learning management system we use here at UPIKE. Canvas allows professors to add and organize course resources for you to access online. To access Canvas, visit upike.edu and click the Canvas link at the bottom of the page.

You will need your UPIKE username and password to log in.

Once you log in to Canvas, you’ll see the courses you are currently registered for on the dashboard. You can also click on the Courses icon on the left-hand side of the page. Most professors do not publish their courses until the beginning of the semester, so don’t worry if you don’t see all your courses on your Canvas dashboard until after your first class meeting.

Canvas is a great tool to help you monitor your class performance. Your professors will put grades for assignments on Canvas. However, your official final grades for classes and your GPA are always found on Self Service. See page 18 for instructions on how to download the Canvas app.

Center for Career, Vocation, and Leadership The UPIKE Center for Career, Vocation, and Leadership is committed to providing comprehensive career development and leadership preparation, through the lens of vocational discovery, to students in their pursuit of lifelong career satisfaction and success.

We help you plan for your career, beginning with your very first semester and extending throughout your lifetime. You’ll have the opportunity to explore interests, sharpen skills, and gain experiences, which will enhance your transition to graduate/professional schools and/or the workforce after graduation.

12

FREE TEXTBOOKS!

UPIKE offers FREE textbooks and course materials for all students.

Faculty will have the information for materials you need and where to find them listed in their syllabi and in the Canvas course.

Experiential Learning While one of our goals is to encourage our students to invest in their local communities, we also want to help students to experience the world beyond the Appalachian Mountains. In order to do this, we want to expose our students to many varied and unique opportunities, locally and globally.

UPIKE provides institutional support for students to apply their classroom knowledge to an off-campus setting in the form of internships; professional conferences, seminars, and workshops; as well as study away and study abroad learning. In full support of the most effective learning environment we can offer, our faculty is committed to student engagement and learning outside the classroom and in communities beyond.

Orientation and First-Year Programs

The First-Year Experience is a concentrated effort designed to orient new students to college life, help them integrate into an academic and social network of professors and classmates, and provide them with the knowledge and resources necessary to their success throughout their college career. This experience includes GROWL (Gathering for Orientation, Welcome, and Leadership), UPIKE FIRST Week, and First-Year Seminar, a one-semester course.

GROWL During GROWL, students meet their advisors, plan their first-semester schedules, and complete necessary first steps to becoming a UPIKE Bear. Families join students on campus for this fun and informative day and engage with faculty, staff, and current students. GROWL is an immersive introduction to campus and the UPIKE Family.

UPIKE FIRST Week UPIKE FIRST Week is held during the week prior to the start of the fall semester and begins with first-year students moving into their residence halls. This intensive five-day program includes sessions and activities that allow students the opportunity to learn more about what their college experience will entail. Some key events include interacting with classmates and instructors for First-Year Seminar, a first-year welcome ritual called “The Climb,” a day of service, and a non-denominational worship service.

Becoming a Bear: First Day of Service Service lies at the heart of the UPIKE experience. On the Saturday before classes begin each fall, first-year students continue the tradition of rolling up their sleeves to help others in the community. We serve as a way to say ‘thank you’ for the blessings of our lives, to partner with others in need, and to work toward the common good of our community and world. Expect to be challenged and learn new skills. This is an opportunity to meet others and, surprisingly, a fun day in which you feel good in the end. Wear old clothing that you can get dirty and even get paint or mud on. All volunteers must wear closed toe shoes (like sneakers, tennis shoes, etc).

“The Climb” “The Climb” is the signature event of UPIKE First Week as our newest Bears climb “The 99” to signify the beginning of their UPIKE journey.

During this ceremony, you’ll be officially welcomed to campus by our President, Vice President for Academic Affairs, many of our faculty and staff, students, alumni and more. This is an evening you’ll remember for years to come. Invite your family to attend.

First Year Seminar The First-Year Seminar course is required for all first-year students.

Students develop successful study and learning skills specific to college coursework, work on time management skills, learn about various resources on campus, and learn about the value of a UPIKE degree.

Welcome Week Events are held each evening during the first week of classes so students can preview the types of events held throughout the year and meet new people on campus. The highlight of the week is the Street Fair featuring local businesses and organizations on campus.

14

Academic Resources The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) provides students with free academic support led by a team of tutors who are also students in the UPIKE classroom. CAE offers a large variety of services including tutoring, time management, and referrals to campus resources. Staff work closely with athletic teams to meet the needs of student-athletes.

The CAE is open Monday and Wednesday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. and is located on the ground floor of Allara Library. Students can visit the CAE for tutoring and view schedules on CAE’s social media pages.

UPIKE’s ACE (Academic and Cultural Enrichment) Program is a support program designed to provide academic services, academic counseling, and other support to qualified UPIKE students. A federally funded TRiO program, the program’s goal is to improve academic performance and increase retention and graduation rates by motivating students to successfully complete their chosen field of study. The comprehensive services ACE provides on an individual basis promote success on a number of levels for participants.

Disability Resource Center UPIKE is committed to providing equal educational opportunities and full participation for persons with disabilities. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) coordinates accommodations so every student with disabilities can actively participate in all facets of the UPIKE educational experience. Our goal is to empower students to be confident self-advocates for their own accommodation needs.

Each person has a different set of skills and needs. Accommodations are determined on an individual basis, utilizing the student’s self-report in the initial interview and disability-related documentation received from the student’s healthcare provider. Some of the accommodations and services available include: » Extended time for testing » Distraction-reduced locations for testing » Classroom and lab accommodations » Accessible housing, parking and building access » Note-takers, readers and scribes

Taking Care of Business The Business Office will send emails frequently to students with reminders and helpful tips. Please be sure you check your UPIKE email often, even before classes begin and during breaks between semesters.

Student accounts are updated on Self Service daily and list all account charges (tuition, room and board, other charges) and all aid and payments (grants, scholarships, loans, and personal payments).

The student’s account balance must be paid prior to registration each semester or arrangements must be made with the Business Office.

If the student has a balance, payments are due September 15 and February 15 depending on start dates.

Full, official transcripts and diplomas will also be held if the students owe a balance to UPIKE.

Keep your student accounts current. » Check your UPIKE email frequently. All offices and departments communicate with you this way. Information sent is important and may require action.

Contact UPIKE Information Technology to assist in setting up UPIKE email on your phone if you experience difficulty. » Do not wait until the last minute to review your account, to pay, or make payment arrangements. » Log into your account on Self Service at least once per week to determine if the account is current, especially if changes have been made to courses, housing, etc. Additional fees can be added after the initial billing if any changes have been made. Also, check to see if any “holds” are on the account. A “hold” will prevent you from registering for classes, receiving a transcript, or signing up for housing. » Make sure you have filed a FAFSA as soon as available and that it has been received by the Financial Aid Office. » If you are not planning to return as a UPIKE student, make certain you notify Student Success, complete the withdrawal process if you pre-registered, and pay any outstanding balances.

FERPA Policy The University of Pikeville’s policy with respect to its student educational records adheres to the requirements and regulations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.

FERPA places limitations on the disclosure of personally identifiable information maintained

by University of Pikeville with respect to students and limits access to educational records, including the right to access, the right to obtain copies, the right to seek correction of such records through informal and formal internal procedures, and the right to place a statement in such educational records explaining any information which the student believes to be inaccurate or misleading. In accord with FERPA regulations, the University of Pikeville holds certain information to be “directory information,” and therefore, subject to disclosure without prior consent from the student.

Financing Your Education & Managing Costs By interacting with the Office of Financial Aid, current and prospective students and their families can discover how federal, state, private and institutional aid can combine to make UPIKE an affordable option. This office also oversees the management of Veteran’s Affairs education benefits. Families often take on the responsibility of completing financial aid forms and paying student balances. We encourage UPIKE students to take an active role in understanding the process of financing their education. By making this a family process, students will be educated about their potential student loan debt and will become a credit-conscious consumer. Student involvement is vital, as communication in regard to financial aid and billing will be sent directly in the student’s name since it is their responsibility.

To be eligible for any financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at studentaid.gov/FAFSA.

You’ll learn what a loan is, how interest works, your options for repayment, and how to avoid delinquency and default. Entrance counseling is required before an individual can receive the first Direct Subsidized Loan or Direct Unsubsidized Loan as an undergraduate or your first Direct PLUS Loan as a graduate/ professional student.

What is a Master Promissory Note?

The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is the legal, binding contract that says you understand you are taking out loans and must pay back any loan you borrow, regardless if you complete the program, like or didn’t like the program, or any other reason.

Residential Staff Resident Assistants (RA) are student staff who are committed to fostering safe and healthy environments for residents at UPIKE. We define a healthy community as an environment which fosters healthy lifestyle choices by its members, respect for individual values and beliefs, a sense of belonging, and a focus on academic success. RAs are assigned to a specific community and work with support from the Area Coordinator to plan events, address concerning behavior, and provide academic and personal support to residents. RAs participate in a duty rotation in order to provide a safe and secure living community and preserve a living environment conducive to studying and personal wellness.

The Area Coordinator (AC) is a live-in professional who facilitates, creates, maintains and promotes a safe and secure residential community supporting the learning mission of the university and enhancing residents’ academic and personal development. The AC supervises RAs and Senior Resident Assistants (SRAs) in Residence Life, oversees programming and community development, and has budgetary responsibility dependent on the size of the RA staff assigned. When on-call, this position is responsible for the entire residential system and serves as an emergency responder, directing all on-call/ support student staff and a resident population of approximately 600 students. The AC works collaboratively with other Student Affairs professional staff.

UPIKE has professional and student staff on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide after-hours support for both minor and major student concerns.

Code of Conduct Title IX/Sexual Misconduct

CLICK HERE Click for more information on Title IX

Types of reports are listed below:

The Office of Title IX serves students, faculty and staff to ensure UPIKE’s commitment to uphold a zero tolerance policy for sexual misconduct (sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and stalking) and discrimination based on sex.

Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. Title IX promotes equity in academics and athletics programs, preventing hostile environments on the basis of sex and sexual misconduct.

UPIKE recognizes that choosing to report an incident and deciding how to proceed after making the report can be a process that unfolds over time. Reports should be made promptly, but there is no time limitation on reporting.

Reports of harassment or discrimination will be investigated in a manner that is prompt, adequate and impartial. There are confidential and non-confidential reporting options available to all members of the campus community.

Student Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct exists to maintain a civil and safe community in which all students can live and learn. The goal of the Office of Student Advocacy and Outreach is to create a community in which students’ actions validate the essential values of the University of Pikeville. The disciplinary process administered by the Office of Student Advocacy and Outreach is designed to foster growth and learning by holding students accountable for their behavior.

For more information or to report an incident, contact the Office of Student Advocacy and Outreach at (606) 2185227.

Incident Reporting If any person may be in danger, call 911 immediately.

Reporting forms are available on UPIKE’s website for nonemergency reporting only. Reports will be reviewed within one to two business days of submission. Based on the type of report, you may be contacted for additional information (if you provide your name or contact information). Though anonymous reports are permitted, doing so may limit the university’s ability to investigate and/or respond.

Incident Report is for any violations of the Student Code of Conduct.

CARE Team UPIKE maintains a CARE Team (CrisisAssessment-Referral-Evaluation) that provides guidance and assistance to students who are experiencing crisis, displaying odd or unusual behaviors, or engaging in other behaviors that may be perceived as being harmful (either to the student individually or to others). The CARE Team accepts referrals and responds to students (and their families, faculty, and staff) when concerns for a student’s health, welfare, and safety are identified.

Complaint is to submit an academic and non-academic issues complaint. UPIKE is committed to appropriate resolution of complaints as efficiently and effectively as possible. We believe providing a mechanism for complaints to be heard gives us the opportunity to improve our services. Whenever possible, we encourage that incidents are resolved directly with the staff or department involved.

Often a complaint can be resolved in this way. However, if an informal approach is neither successful or advisable, the Academic and Non-Academic Issues Complaint Form should be submitted. Retaliation against a student for making a complaint is absolutely prohibited and will be considered a serious violation of professional responsibility.

Sexual Misconduct is to report non-emergency incidents of harassment and discrimination. The university strongly encourages persons who have experienced sexual misconduct, or knows of someone who has experienced sexual misconduct, to report the incident to the university.

In case of an emergency or ongoing threat, a survivor should get to a safe location and call 911 or (606) 218-5940.

Calling 911 will put you in touch with local police. Calling 218-5940 will put you in touch with UPIKE Public Safety.

Anonymous Tip is to report an anonymous and confidential tip. UPIKE strongly encourages all goodfaith reports and will respond to all reports based on the nature and quality of the information that is shared. The university wishes to support the author and others affected by the contents of the report. The university understands, however, that there may be reasons why you might choose to withhold your identity or other portions of the narrative now, or indefinitely.

Additional information can be found in the documents located at upike.edu/studenthandbook.
