+ | ===== School' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Mission ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Leadership For Educational Equity === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Prepare and inspire education and mental health leaders to have a profound impact in fostering student opportunity, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Vision ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The vision of the School of Education & Human Development (SEHD) is to be, “A leading school of education providing national expertise on educational issues and socially-just solutions for urban and diverse communities. Through innovative research and partnerships, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The School of Education & Human Development’s research, education and outreach programs are focused on supporting urban communities, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The School of Education & Human Development’s programs graduate highly skilled, culturally responsive practitioners and researchers who lead innovation and renewal in urban schools, districts, mental health agencies, and adult learning settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Non-Discrimination Policy ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The University of Colorado Denver does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Qualification for the position and institutional need shall be the sole bases for hiring employees, and the criteria for retaining employees shall be related to performance evaluation, assessment of institutional need, fiscal constraints, | ||
+ | |||
+ | All students shall have the same fundamental rights to equal respect, due process, and judgment of them based solely on factors demonstrably related to performance and expectations as students. All students share equally the obligations to perform their duties and exercise judgments of others in accordance with the basic standards of fairness, equity, and inquiry that should always guide education. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you wish to report discrimination or need additional information, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Diversity and Inclusion in SEHD ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The majority of faculty members in the School of Education & Human Development (SEHD) have K-12 teaching or counseling experience, often in settings with members from diverse racial, language, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Those experiences have drawn them to this urban university and have shaped our organizational and moral commitment to respecting diversity and pursuing equity. SEHD faculty believes that lives are forever changed with access to excellent education and quality mental health services. As a public university, we are committed to increasing educational opportunities among underserved populations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Denver metro area population, indeed the population in the state and nation, is rapidly becoming more racially, culturally and ethnically diverse. It is our responsibility and commitment to prepare educators and counselors who represent diverse groups. It is also our responsibility to prepare all educators and counselors to provide culturally responsive educational and mental health services for the increasing diversity of our society. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, diversity of action, research and viewpoints (ways of knowing and expressing knowledge) is fundamental in universities. It is that diversity that keeps our democracy alive. Diversity gives rise to new knowledge and new ways of thinking, a key function of a university. Thus, we believe that diversity is fundamental to the university and to our School. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While the SEHD has had a focus on equity and diversity for a number of years, a majority of our former efforts focused on integration of related content into our programs, faculty recruitment and development, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In partnership with the SEHD Diversity Committee, the overall focus of the School of Education & Human Development (SEHD) has been creating and building partnerships within the SEHD community to promote a climate of equity and enhance diversity and inclusiveness initiatives internally. Your support as a faculty member informs our strategic direction through formal and informal means (e.g. student surveys, student forums, and faculty feedback /input opportunities). By collaboratively addressing student access and success challenges, we are certain we can improve our chances of effectively addressing access and persistence barriers impacting all members of our SEHD community. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Office of Recruitment and Outreach ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The mission of the Office of Recruitment & Outreach (ORO) is to nurture positive relationships with prospective students, schools, organizations and the local community to attract diverse, highly-qualified applicants that best fit the pedagogy and mission of programs available within the School of Education & Human Development. We use the following activities to accomplish our goal: | ||

Specific dates are shared at the beginning of each school year at the fall staff/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Customer Service & Communication ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our team provides reactive and proactive communication to individuals from inquiry to application. Student admissions ambassadors provide individualized responses to prospective students in a timely manner. In many instances, ORO partners with faculty and current students to support these efforts (i.e. admitted student call-a-thon).

+ | ===== Syllabus ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | PREPARATION GUIDANCE | ||
+ | |||
+ | Many program areas have copies of course syllabi that can assist new professors in course preparations. Contact the program representative if you need guidance in selecting course topics, texts, and reading materials. The campus syllabus policy statement is available on the Center for Faculty Development website [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | REVIEWING THE SYLLABUS WITH STUDENTS | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SEHD requires instructors to provide detailed course information on or prior to the first day of class through a course syllabus. Syllabi with detailed policies, procedures, and expectations provided at the beginning of the semester reduce ad hoc faculty decisions and promote good student-faculty communication. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty are encouraged to use a portion of the first class meeting to ensure students are familiar with the course objectives, content, grading and classroom policies. For online or remote courses, it is recommended that instructors provide online content that ensure students are familiar with the syllabus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | REQUIRED FACULTY AND COURSE INFORMATION | ||
+ | |||
+ | A course syllabus in the School of Education & Human Development should contain the following information: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Course Overview and Course Information | ||

+ | |||
+ | POSTING GRADES | ||
+ | |||
+ | The posting of grades by name or student number (even with name obscured) violates federal law under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and is **strictly prohibited**. No grades may be posted in a manner that would allow a student to learn another student’s grade. Graded papers may not be placed in a box or file cabinet for students to look through to find their own, unless those papers are sealed inside individual envelopes. It is acceptable -and encouraged- for students to supply the faculty member with a stamped, self-addressed envelope to return papers or other assignments. The best way is to post grades in our CANVAS online course system. Students can log in with their ID to see their grades. Call the CU Online Help Desk at 303-724-4357 for assistance/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Grading is done online through the Faculty Center in UCD Access. Complete your grading online through [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | GRADE CHANGES | ||
+ | |||
+ | Grades are entered once the term is complete (or session, for reduced session classes). Once a grade roster has been approved and posted, the grade roster as a whole, cannot be changed. However, instructors will have access to change grades for individual students through the faculty portal in [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED SITUATIONS | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Financial aid requires students to successfully complete a certain number of semester hours by the end of the semester. Grades of ‘I’, ‘W’, ‘NC’, and ‘F’ do not satisfy financial aid requirements. An Incomplete grade will not satisfy Financial Aid requirements. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the absence of special circumstances, | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Students are responsible for knowing the passing grade, typically B- in their courses. Faculty should not encourage poorly performing students to stay in the course past the 10-week drop deadline as student performance rarely improves at the end of the semester. Regular communication of student performance during the semester is the best way to avoid this situation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty are encouraged to regularly communicate grade information to students during the semester to minimize student complaints. Faculty should meet with students to evaluate the nature of the complaint. Faculty grading mistakes are easily handled through UCD Access. Otherwise, the student should be referred to the Academic Services Office (LSC 701) for the Academic Appeal Process procedure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Campus Closures ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty cannot insist that students make up a class when the campus is closed due to inclement weather. An additional class session may be scheduled only if ALL students in the class agree to meet without coercion. No students can be penalized in any way for failure to attend an additional class meeting. Information on campus closures can be found at: | ||

+ | ===== CU Denver Honor Code ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As members of the CU Denver community, students are expected to uphold University standards, which include abiding by state, civil, and criminal laws and all University policies and standards of conduct. These standards assist in promoting a safe and welcoming community. The full CU Denver Student Code of Conduct can be found on the Student Conduct & Community Standards webpage [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Student Handbooks ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each program has a student handbook describing policies and procedures. Specific information regarding grading, course requirements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Drop/Add Deadlines ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Students must follow the academic calendar found on the Office of the Registrar website [[https:// | ||

+ | ===== Academic Record Confidentiality ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Returning Student Papers ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is preferred that faculty return papers to students directly. It is acceptable to ask students for an addressed, stamped envelope to return papers after the end of the semester and/or course. Any student papers that are left in Academic Services for student pick-up must be in a sealed envelope with the student name clearly marked. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== International Students ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The number of international students in classes at CU Denver is small but growing. International students come to CU Denver from all over the world. Resources for international students and faculty can be found on the Office of International affairs website [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED SITUATIONS | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Admissions Office typically assigns student numbers beginning with an 800 (800, 801, or 802) to international students. However, international students may have a real social security number for a student number, and an 800 student number does not guarantee international student status. | ||
+ | |||
+ | International student status (Y/N), visa type, and citizenship can be verified by Academic Services. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | The language of instruction at CU Denver is English. International students must meet English proficiency standards to gain admission to the School. Some international students may have limited classroom English skills. Faculty should contact the Office of International Affairs (OIA) at (303) 3152230 for international students with severely limited English skills. At the discretion of faculty, the following accommodations are acceptable in SEHD: use of dictionary at all times (including examinations) and extra time for in-class examinations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | International students seek academic support and often work together. Through course syllabus and discussion of class policies, faculty should emphasize when an individual effort is required. Faculty should establish written guidelines for all students for group and individual efforts on graded assignments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Program Level Assessment ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Anyone teaching a course that has a key, program-level assessment is responsible for entering student performance data for the associated rubrics in LiveText.com or using in a “LiveText by Watermark” rubric that has been embedded in the Canvas assignment. If you are unsure if your course has a program-level assessment please contact your program. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your assessment and the associated rubric should already be available for your course in LiveText.com. LiveText is an assessment management tool that is used to assist faculty and staff in the process of assessment. Please login into LiveText.com to review the assessment and rubric after the first few weeks of classes and contact Tony Romero at [[TONY.ROMERO@UCDENVER.EDU|TONY.ROMERO@UCDENVER.EDU]] you have any questions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Students with Disabilities ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The University of Colorado Denver is committed to providing reasonable accommodation and access to programs and services to students with disabilities. CU Denver strives to comply with the portions of the Americans for Disabilities Act (ADA) dealing with students. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Disability Resources and Services Office (DRSO) serve the needs of the diverse community of students with disabilities attending UCD. For information, | ||
+ | |||
+ | FACULTY RESPONSIBILITIES | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once students comply with ADA requirements for disability registration with DRSO, faculty must work with DRSO staff and the student to develop reasonable accommodations. Faculty members are not required to comply with requests that alter course requirements. The ADA requires reasonable accommodation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED SITUATIONS | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is acceptable to work directly with students; however, faculty are strongly encouraged to work with DRSO to verify that the student is registered and that accommodations are consistent with the disability and academic requirements of the course. Faculty members are not required to provide any accommodations to students not registered with DRSO. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Students are responsible for registration with DRSO and arranging reasonable accommodations at the beginning of the semester. Faculty members are reminded that registration is difficult and requires considerable documentation. If student had difficulty in registering, | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | DRSO staff is the best resource in arranging reasonable accommodations. Accommodations are dependent upon the disability but may include note takers in class, relaxed deadlines for assignments, | ||

+ | ===== CARE Team ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Campus Assessment, Response & Evaluation (CARE) Team was created at the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz campus to address the health and safety needs of students as well as the campus community. The purpose of the team is to assess whether individuals pose a risk to themselves or others and to intervene when necessary, and more generally, to identify and provide assistance to those in need. The team takes a preventative approach to risk assessment by offering resources, referrals, and support to both the concerning individual and those impacted by their behavior. [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Students with Emotional Issues ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty will discover that there is a small, but growing, population of students with emotional problems that interfere with their ability to handle the academic workload and succeed in the classroom. The University of Colorado Denver established the Student and Community Counseling Center to assist students with this need. It is located on the 4th floor of the North Classroom Building in NC 4036. This Center also houses the Counseling and Family Therapy Center which is open to individual faculty and staff, as well as couples and families. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Student and Community Counseling Center provides free, short-term (up to 10 sessions) counseling to students who may be in need of psychological assistance as well as consultation to faculty on issues related to student behavior. The Center is staffed by professional psychotherapists and advanced graduate counseling students who are supervised by licensed, practicing psychologists and SEHD Counseling faculty members. The Center also refers students to off-campus, long-term counseling when appropriate. The Center provides workshops on stress management, conflict resolution and acculturation issues. | ||

+ | ===== Academic Ethics ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As members of the CU Denver academic community, faculty and students accept the responsibility to maintain the highest standards of intellectual honesty and ethical conduct in all forms of academic work. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ACADEMIC DISHONESTY INCIDENTS | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty members are encouraged to handle alleged academic dishonesty cases at the program level first. Many cases of academic dishonesty involve miscommunication and absence of clear policies on syllabus or assignments, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty members who have evidence suggesting a student is guilty of academic dishonesty should: | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Privately provide the student with the evidence | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Listen to the student’s perspective and keep communication lines open | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Evaluate all evidence and circumstances | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Determine appropriate consequences (warning, zero/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Inform student in writing of decision, if grade is to be lowered in any manner | ||
+ | |||
+ | FACULTY RESPONSIBILITIES | ||
+ | |||
+ | SEHD faculty members have options in handling ethics violations at the division level, up to and including a failing course grade. Any other sanctions (suspension, | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the faculty decision concerning the alleged academic dishonesty adversely affects the student’s assignment or course grade, a letter must be sent to the student with copies to the faculty program representative and SEHD Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs. The letter must outline the charge(s) against the student and inform the student of his or her rights. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty responsibilities in alleged ethics violations that lower a student’s grade are summarized below: | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Written notification to student outlining charge(s), statement of student rights, information about ethics policies, and student support services | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Written notification (copy) to the Faculty Program Representative and SEHD Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Student allowed to fully participate in remainder of class | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Student not allowed to drop or withdraw from class | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Compilation of physical and eyewitness evidence for possible submission to the SEHD Student Academic Appeals Committee (//See Appendix B//) | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Hearing at request of faculty or through appeal by student | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Should the dispute go to the SEHD Student Academic Appeals Committee, the burden of proof resides with the faculty (//See Appendix B//) | ||
+ | |||
+ | === FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED SITUATIONS === | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | For all student cases evaluated by the SEHD Student Academic Appeals Committee (See Appendix B), the burden of proof is squarely on the faculty member. Situations without compelling evidence should be handled privately with the student and may include verbal warning, specific seating assignment, review of ethics policies with entire class, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Web sites have been developed to assist faculty in locating Internet papers and faculty should consult experts in Internet communications. Faculty should consult [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is the student’s responsibility to understand and adhere to the CU Denver Academic Honor Code. Faculty members are not required to define academic dishonesty, but are encouraged to place a general statement on the course syllabus that refers students to details of the Academic Honor Code. While an unintentional violation is still a violation, faculty are encouraged to consider intent in determining appropriate consequences (//See Appendix I//). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Service ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty members are expected to contribute toward service activities that support the SEHD’s mission. Three criteria will be considered in forming an overall evaluation of faculty performance in this area. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Service to School and University ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Service to the Profession | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Service to the Community/ | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Retention, Tenure and Promotion Processes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The evaluation of faculty performance on an annual basis and for the purpose of tenure and promotion begins with the faculty member’s primary program or division affiliation. Faculty on tenure and tenure track lines complete a series of milestones during their professorial careers that include the tenure and post-tenure review processes and promotional reviews from assistant to associate to full professor. The complete guide to these processes is available on-line, through SEHD Office of Faculty Affair’s office and the Provost’s office. The handbook, **Strategies for Success**, is updated frequently. In addition, the School of Education & Human Development’s criteria for research and creative activities, Teaching, and Service are available in SEHD RTP Criteria and Standards guidelines located in policy section of SEHD Impact site.

+ | The annual merit review is based on accomplishment in teaching, research and service. The Merit Review Committee conducts the annual merit review for all faculty members. The annual merit review process captures a faculty’s teaching, research, and service activities across the previous calendar year. The faculty member prepares an electronic merit review dossier, consisting of the FRPA form, Annual Merit Summary Form (Research, Teaching, and Service), Faculty Professional Plan, and CV. | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== Official Functions – Events/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | OFFICIAL FUNCTIONS | ||
+ | |||
+ | An official function is a meeting, meal, or other function that is hosted by an organizational unit, attended by guests and/or associates or employees, and held for official university business. All official functions must comply with the Administrative Policy Statement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Official functions and training functions shall be held to achieve program objectives and shall be limited to reasonable and actual costs. The attendance of employees at these functions shall be kept to a minimum and shall include only those individuals directly related to the purpose of the function. Expenditures shall be kept to a minimum as they have the potential of being perceived to be for a personal benefit and an abuse of public funds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Official functions require''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | CATERING | ||
+ | |||
+ | Catering expenses that will be funded or reimbursed from an SEHD account must be approved **prior** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Based on these policies, we ask that you consider the following in deciding to incur official function expenditures: | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Is the function for official university business purposes only and is it necessary to achieve the program objectives? | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Are the costs reasonable? | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Is the attendance of employees limited to a minimum and include only those individuals necessary and directly involved with the objectives of the function? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Avoid official functions that consist of only university employees discussing university business. Training functions and retreats should be limited in frequency, and should be included as part of a program, service unit or center’s annual budget. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Always ask yourself if you would be comfortable justifying the expenditures to a newspaper reporter and being associated with the expenditures in a newspaper article. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Travel Procedures ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Official travel is paid by the university or external grant funds. Faculty should first check with their program representative to determine if planned travel is covered by the program budget. In the case of externally funded projects, the Principal Investigator (PI) should be consulted. Faculty should never assume that travel will be covered through the university without first checking with the appropriate source. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To submit a Travel Request form, follow [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty are responsible for booking their own travel. Information and instructions on how to do so can be found at the following link on the Procurement Service Center website [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | For answers to all questions about travel, including a step-by-step guide, visit the Procurement Service Center website [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Administrative support for faculty in travel requests is handled by Kelly Ragland. ''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **//Main Points to Remember:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. You must receive authorization from your program representative or Associate Dean **BEFORE** | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Apply for the corporate liability travel card if you plan on traveling frequently (See US Bank Travel Card below). Training must be completed before this card is issued. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. The University uses Christopherson Travel for all travel bookings ([[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. You cannot use your travel card for conference registration. The travel card should be used for hotel and all other travel related expenses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5. Please do not use your travel card for meals. You will be reimbursed for the per diem rate in effect in the locale in which you are traveling. If the meal expense exceeds this amount, this is a personal expense to you and you will not be reimbursed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. Keep itemized receipts for all expenses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7. When you return, submit all receipts to your Concur delegate (Tim Halliday, Tracy Lee or Bolormaa Begzsuren). | ||
+ | |||
+ | 8. Reimburse CU for any personal expenses on your travel card at the time when you turn in your receipts or if you have enough per diem to cover these expenses, your per diem will be reduced by this amount. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 9.**Your travel expenses must be reallocated within 90 days of the end of your trip or this becomes taxable income to you. This is a firm deadline that cannot be changed. Please allow your Concur delegate 2-3 weeks before the 90 day deadline to submit reimbursements on your behalf.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | US BANK TRAVEL CARD | ||
+ | |||
+ | The U.S. Bank Travel Card is the State Travel Card. All University employees who travel on business for the University should apply for the card and use it for all travel-related expenses. Please note that this card is a University card and the traveler is responsible for retaining all receipts and turning them in to your Concur delegate for reallocation as soon as your travel is complete. These expenses do not generate email reminders the same way that the P-card does and will sit in the system and not hit a speedtype until reallocated. This may result in budgets being inaccurate and extra work at year end for the finance staff. Please see Tim Halliday if you wish to order this card. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is a **very handy Concur smartphone application** | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Once logged in, click the profile link and let the whole screen come up or choose mobile registration. If the whole screen comes up –go the bottom left and choose mobile registration. | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Click the blue link that says “create a mobile PIN”- this will be the PIN that you use to login to the app. | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Again your user ID will be your EID@cu.edu. | ||

+ | •If you have any problems with the app, please call the help desk at 303-837-2161. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Conference Registration ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | University travelers often find that they need to pay registration fees for a conference or meeting they plan to attend. How the expense is submitted—for direct payment to the vendor, or for reimbursement to the traveler—varies according to the timing of the payment and the needs of the vendor. The possible vehicles for payment are (1) the Procurement Card (P-Card), or (2) the Payment Voucher form. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Maximum Meal Reimbursement | ||
+ | |||
+ | Meal reimbursement is for the actual cost of the traveler’s meals. To ensure these costs are reasonable, actual costs are limited to a Maximum Meal Reimbursement amount specific to the geographic travel location. The State of Colorado’s Maximum Allowable Meal Per Diem Rates represent the University’s Maximum Meal Reimbursement amount; for maximum allowable rates, refer to [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Part of daily M & I (Meals and Incidental Expenses) is per diem. Dollar limits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are determined by the traveler’s destination. The meal per diem represents the maximum reimbursable amount for eligible meals during the course of a university business trip. Meal reimbursement is not allowed if adequate meals are included with lodging, as part of conference/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | On days of travel, the final destination for the day determines the traveler’s per diem rate all day. On the day traveler returns home, the city from which the traveler leaves determines the per diem rate. On begin and end travel days, reimbursement cannot exceed 75% of the daily M&I per diem rate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Meals During Single-Day Trip | ||
+ | |||
+ | If travel is wholly within a single day **and** | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== In-State Travel Procedures ==== | ||

+ | All travelers on University business—faculty, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In accordance with Internal Revenue Service requirements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | •reimbursements that were not submitted through Concur within 90 days after the last day of travel completion; and, | ||
+ | |||
+ | •advances issued by the University if the subsequent Travel Voucher reconciling the advance was not submitted within 30 days of trip completion. (If the traveler needs to repay the University for a too-large advance, then this repayment must be made by personal check at the time that the Concur travel report is submitted.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Out-Of-State and International Travel Procedures ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Travel on sponsored program (grant) money requires approval from the Office of Grants and Contracts. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **School of Education and Human Development** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Student Committee Appeals Process** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Purposes** | ||
+ | |||
+ | One purpose of the Student Committee (SC) is to review students' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Committee Composition** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The committee is composed of faculty members from multiple SEHD programs and one SEHD staff representative. Typically, faculty members serve for two years, with the possibility of continuing to serve longer. Each year a committee chair is elected from the members of the SC. The chair directs regular SC meetings and, in conjunction with the Director of Academic Services and/or his/her designee, advises students and faculty on SC policies and procedures and schedules the committee for appeal hearings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Student Academic Appeals** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SC hears appeals that relate directly to academic issues. These issues may include, but are not limited to: | ||
+ | |||
+ | •dismissal from an SEHD degree program; | ||
+ | |||
+ | •grade appeals and problems related to course grades; | ||
+ | |||
+ | •appeals related to comprehensive examinations or activities and qualifying examinations or activities; | ||
+ | |||
+ | •academic honor code issues. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SC might refer non-academic appeals to other avenues of appeal, including, but not limited to: | ||
+ | |||
+ | •sexual harassment or discrimination of any kind - CU Denver Civil Rights Officer; | ||
+ | |||
+ | •financial concerns - Bursar' | ||
+ | |||
+ | •student conduct - Student Code of Conduct; | ||
+ | |||
+ | •teacher licensure - Colorado Department of Education; other, or more general concerns - CU Denver Ombuds Office. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When appeals are reviewed by the committee, only materials directly relevant to the appeal will be considered. The student and the faculty member or members involved in the appeal should keep documentation of and materials related to the appeal for a period of five years from the beginning of the semester in which the issue(s) relevant to the appeal began. An official file of all materials will be kept by the SEHD (see " | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Faculty Participants in Student Academic Appeals** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Faculty participants in the academic appeal process are those faculty members who have been part of the decision making process under appeal, witness(es) to student/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Student participants in the academic appeals process are the student who has filed an appeal for the SC to review and another person to accompany the grievant to //Appeal Level 3// (if applicable). The other person may be a friend, colleague, classmate or faculty member, but not a member of the SEHD staff. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Academic Appeal Procedures** | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Appeal Level One–Initial Decision// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. The first step in an appeal is for the student to meet with the faculty member or members who made the decision the student wishes to contest. Issues pertaining to the student' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - If the issue remains unresolved after the student/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | a.**What is the term/year you are appealing? | ||
+ | |||
+ | b.**What, exactly, is being appealed? | ||
+ | |||
+ | c.**What are your specific objections to the decision under appeal? | ||
+ | |||
+ | d.**What is the rationale for your objections? | ||
+ | |||
+ | e.**What changes do you request and what are your specific reasons to support your request? | ||
+ | |||
+ | - As noted above, the letter of appeal should be submitted within 30 days following the meeting with the faculty member or members outlined in the first level of the appeal process. The SC chair will review the appeal letter and request further information if necessary, and, if he/she deems the appeal to be within the purview of the committee, will forward the letter to SC committee members and the Associate Dean responsible for the program to which the student was admitted. If the letter is submitted between the end of the spring and the beginning of the fall semester, the letter will be reviewed at the first SC meeting in the fall semester. Academic appeals will be reviewed and responded to during the months of September through November and February until the first week in May. \\ - The faculty member or members named in the student’s appeal will be notified of the student’s appeal and provided with a copy of the student’s appeal letter. The faculty member or members will respond to the appeal in a written statement to the SC within 14 days of their receipt of the notification of appeal. Exceptions to this 14-day limit may be allowed in special circumstances if the SC deems appropriate. Additionally, | ||

+ | 3.The student and faculty member/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4.The SC will review all information and render a timely decision. In most cases, and depending on their scheduled meetings, the SC will reach a decision within 40 days after the appeal hearing. Neither the student nor the faculty member or members involved in the appeal may be present, or consulted by, the SC during these deliberations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5.The student and faculty member or members will be notified by letter within 45 days of the concluding decision of the SC. A copy of this decision will be forwarded to the Dean of the SEHD. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Appeal Level Four–Dean, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The student or faculty member’s next level of appeal is the Dean of the SEHD. Appeals materials provided to the SC will be shared with the Dean. The Dean may also request additional information as needed. This appeal to the Dean must occur within 30 days of the SC decision. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Student Committee composition for formal appeal hearings**•A SEHD Associate Dean serves as the non-voting committee convener during the formal appeal hearing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | •A majority of voting members or their appointed substitutes must be present for the formal appeal hearing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | •The student, the faculty member/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Both the involved faculty member/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | •If a SC member has extensive knowledge of the case or the student (e.g. is a member of the decision team which is being appealed or is the student’s advisor) he or she will be asked to recues him or herself from the appeal hearing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | •Appeal hearings may be video or audio taped only if all parties at the hearing agree to this procedure. Requests for video or audio taping must be made in writing, addressed to the SC committee chair and received at least one week before a hearing is scheduled. The chair will contact participants for a yes or no vote and alert all participants of the outcome of the vote prior to the meeting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Retention of Academic Appeal Materials** | ||
+ | |||
+ | //SEHD responsibilities// | ||
+ | |||
+ | All materials related to an academic appeal, including written statements from students and faculty, written decisions by the SC and requests for materials from the Dean of the SEHD and the CU Denver Graduate School will be housed in a secure confidential file in the Academic Services Office. This official file will be maintained under the name of the student originating the appeal. The official file will be retained for at least five years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Student responsibilities// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The student is responsible for keeping copies of all written materials submitted to both the faculty member and members and those submitted to the SC. It would be appropriate for the student to keep records of times, dates, content of conversations and suggested solutions discussed during the process of trying to resolve the problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Faculty responsibilities// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The faculty member or members should keep copies of all written materials related to student appeal. This would include student letters, responses, and course or program documents related to the appeal. It is also recommended that faculty members keep records of times, dates, content of conversations and suggested solutions discussed during the process of trying to resolve the problem with a student. | ||
