CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT:
1. Official Course Outline of Record
Click here to go to WebCMS and view or print off the
Official Course Outline of Record
The official Course Outline of Record (COR) defines the content, objectives,
methods of instruction and evaluation, sample textbooks and instructional
materials for the course, and more. It establishes the number of units for
the course plus the number of hours of instruction and will list any
prerequisite(s) or corequisite(s) required for the course.
The COR provides the roadmap for any instructor assigned to teach a course
which makes it the key document for articulating courses and assuring university
partners that students have been evaluated on the identified content of the course.
This document is the single most important piece of information for establishing
prerequisites or corequisites via content review.
Each course taught here at Mt. SAC must be taught to the Official Course Outline of Record.
Your Department Chair can give you a copy of that course document as you are
assigned to teach a course, or you can print it off using the Public Access link within the college's Course Management System:
WebCMS
3. Course Syllabus
Syllabus Guidelines:
Faculty, below are the links to the 'Syllabus Guidelines' document.
These include links for the entire Guidelines document and also just sections of the Guidelines.
Electronic Submission of Syllabus:
The Business Division allows the electronic submission of syllabus to the division
office for archiving purposes.
Introduction:
All Business Division faculty members will submit their course syllabi
to the Business Division office as attachment(s) to an e-mail message.
Instead of keeping them as hardcopy here in the office,
the division office staff will be storing them electronically.
File Naming Convention:
To make it as easy as possible for the office staff to store and retrieve the
syllabi electronically, it will be necessary to follow a simple naming convention
for your syllabus file(s) that you attach to your email.
Please name
your syllabus file using a combination of "Course Number" and "Class Reference Number"
(CRN - Banner's new term for Section Number).
For example, if the syllabus you are submitting is for Course BUSM 20 - and
the CRN ("section number") is 12332, then the name of your syllabus file should
be "BUSM20-12332.doc", if it is in a Microsoft Word format (or .docx if using
Word 2007, etc.). Sending them as a .pdf file is also acceptable.
Where to send Your Syllabi:
The Division has established an email account to use when
emailing your syllabi:
BusDivSyllabus@mtsac.edu
Please use this email account every semester.
If you are using the client version of Lotus Notes you can use
the Email account that is found in the Mt. Sac Directory as is
shown below, otherwise use the email address:
BusDivSyllabus@mtsac.edu
When to send Your Syllabi:
Please have your syllabi submitted to the Division office no
later than Friday of the second week of every semester /
intersession.

Please drop your "No Shows" and add students during the first session of your course on
the first day of the semester or intersession. Please provide students with
add codes that are found on your class roster.
Please drop students as "No Shows" before midnight of the first day of your course and
prior to the last date to drop stated on your class roster for "non-attendance" students.
Every major term, the Dean of Enrollment Management issues a memo covering the Banner Attendance
and Grading Procedures through your faculty portal. Click the following link to download this
memo:

Be sure to check your class roster before the term begins to ensure that you have add codes on your
class roster and that they do not expire before the first class. Call the IT Help Desk
at x4357 or the Division Office at x4600 if either of those situations occur.
NOTE: DROP students as "No Shows (NS)" before midnight of the first
day of your class, or you will not be able to use the NS option.
ADD students to your class by providing students with add authorization codes found on your class roster.
The priority for adding students is: first, from the wait list for the class, and then, by registration date/time.
Add codes can be used for the first 2 weeks, for classes scheduled for a full 16-week term.
The Business Division office has Student Late Add forms for you to use when adding a student during week 3
of a full 16-week term. Effective week 4, students will need a
Late Add Form
AND a
Petition for Exceptional Action Form
to submit to Dr. Bradshaw in Admisssions.
DROP students for non-attendance prior to the "last date to drop" stated on your class roster.
If you accidentally drop a student from your class (or the student drops the class unintentionally) the Business Division office has forms that can be completed to correct that action. The following link shows you a sample of the
Reinstatement to Class Form (.pdf)
.
For students who need to make a section transfer or level transfer after the class has begun,

10. Student Misconduct, Complaints and Grievances
Whatever the student issue you face, we encourage you to utilize the resources of your Program Coordinator
and Department Chair as well as the Business Division Dean and Associate Dean to bring the matter to a timely resolution.
The Student Life Office has prepared the attached
Student Misconduct Guidelines (.pdf)
that incorporates the Mt. SAC Standards of Conduct Policy, delineates use of the
Student Misconduct Report Form and outlines the discipline procedures and time lines
that may result from student misconduct. In addition, they have established
the
Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures and Form (.pdf)
for students to follow to file a complaint or grievance against a faculty member, a staff member,
an administrator or an official of the College or another student. These grievances/complaints
can occur in three categories: academic grievances, non-academic grievances and discrimination complaints.

An E-mail account provides access to e-mail and the Internet.

Acceptable Use Policy:
All college related email communications must be conducted using an email address assigned by the College. This restriction is necessary because email originating at the college may contain proprietary information regarding students, staff, or internal College business. The College is responsible for the security of this information, and cannot assume that other email providers will provide adequate levels of data backup, security, and virus protection. Therefore, forwarding of email from a Mt. San Antonio College email address to a non Mt. San Antonio College email address is not authorized or allowed. Additionally, users may not configure any email program or service to use an automated process for forwarding Mt. San Antonio College email to any other email address.
