| Re: |
Program policies and
procedures |
Welcome back! I hope you
had a pleasant summer.
As department chair, I
supervise all departmental operations and faculty for philosophy, religion, and humanities, and I report to the Dean of Arts
and Humanities, Lyman Grant. Please take a moment to review the following guidelines for departmental operations.
Communication
All departmental
communication will be via email and the administrative webpage.
-
My email address is mdaude@austincc.edu.
I check email several times a day, every day (except Saturdays!), and I
generally respond quickly. You are welcome to email me regarding program issues,
or you may call my office (223-3012, but email is generally quicker). My
administrative office hours will be posted on the program administrative web.
-
The administrative website for our program
is http://philadmin.constantinformation.com.
I will post announcements, meeting schedules, and agendas on this site. I hope
you will find this website a useful reference for departmental policies and
procedures, the course master syllabi, eStaffing schedules, minutes, etc. Be
sure to visit the “Information Map” for a variety of departmental resources and
other useful links. There are some technical resources available on the
administrative web, including “how-to's” regarding various technical matters
(such as checking your ACC email from home, using MS Outlook to organize email,
etc.). If there is a topic you would like me to address, please let me know, and
I’ll do my best.
-
I will use email for
all
departmental memos (no paper!). I will generally use your ACC email address, and you should be aware
that some college communications go only
to ACC addresses. You are assigned an
ACC email account and a voicemail box at employment. If you do not know how to
access your ACC email address or voicemail, contact the ACCNet Help Desk online
or at 223-HELP. The Help desk can also assist you in forwarding your ACC email
to another address.
Faculty
Responsibilities
Please review the
Faculty Responsibilities
page, but here are a couple of important highlights:
-
Please allow
only students who are officially enrolled and appear on the
course roster to attend class.
-
Send students
to my "Problem
Resolution Request" page to lodge complaints or ask for help
concerning a problem. For Course limit override requests, send
students to my "Course Limit Override"
page. (Although I value your input about overrides, professors do
not have the authority to approve course limit overrides. Please
avoid giving students the impression that you can approve requests
for overrides.)
-
Please send me
a copy of your syllabi for the current semester (preferably
electronically; a link to an online syllabus is sufficient)
Departmental Faculty Orientation
Visit the department's online
Faculty Orientation for an overview
of college and department policies and procedures. (You may submit a form at
the end of the orientation page to earn one hour of professional development
credit for completing the Faculty Orientation.)
Thank you for
your many contributions to the department. I am particularly grateful for your
support in my work as department chair. If there is any way I can return that
support, please let me know.
Have a great semester!
