Introducing <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong><strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Begins<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> has continued, without interruption, the educational opportunitiesthat were previously provided by Bay City Junior <strong>College</strong>.In the mid-1950’s, as the demand for education beyond high schoolincreased in the tri-county area, the percentage of students attendingBay City Junior <strong>College</strong> from outside the K-12 Bay City Public SchoolDistrict steadily increased. The enrollment was approximately 50 percentnon-resident, with about 40 percent of the enrollment coming fromSaginaw. Early in 1955, seven community leaders from Bay, Midlandand Saginaw met to discuss the possibility of a tri-county college. Theirinterest and action prompted the following developments:1955: Organization of the Tri-County Committee of 300 formed to studythe needs of higher education in the Saginaw Valley area.1956: The final report of the Committee of 300, outlining the need toestablish and finance a new college, was received.1957: Legislation was submitted to the State of Michigan Legislature tofinance and establish a new institution of higher education.1957: Voters of Bay, Saginaw, and Midland counties formed a communitycollege district under Act 182 of the Public Acts of 1957 and authorizeda levy of 1.5 mills to construct and operate a college.1958: Bonds were sold to provide the financial structure for <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>and campus construction began.1959-61: Members of the faculty and staff of Bay City Junior <strong>College</strong>assisted in planning for the new college. Many of the Bay City Junior<strong>College</strong> faculty, students, and staff became part of the new college as BayCity Junior <strong>College</strong> operations were assimilated into <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>.1961: <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> opened.<strong>College</strong> LocationsThe <strong>College</strong> main campus is located on a 640-acre campus complex inBay County bordered by Hotchkiss, Mackinaw and <strong>Delta</strong> Roads (pleasesee maps at the back of this catalog). Noted for its beautifully-landscapedcenter garden, the <strong>College</strong> has miles of nature trails, runningand fitness trails, tennis courts, and archery and golf putting areas, aswell as a covered bridge. The natural surroundings of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>positively enhance the learning process of students. The main campussite, at University Center, Michigan, lies almost midway between thethree counties’ major cities of Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland. Thistriangle forms the heart of the Saginaw Valley area which is drained bythe Saginaw River and its tributaries, northward to the Saginaw Bayand Lake Huron. Bay County adjoins the Saginaw Bay, an importantrecreational area and waterway whose ports are part of the St. LawrenceSeaway system.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> has major centers in each of the three counties: <strong>Delta</strong><strong>College</strong> Planetarium and Learning Center in Bay City; <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>Midland Center; and the Ricker Center in Saginaw. The tri-county area isone of the major concentrations of population within the state. The 2000population census reports an area population of approximately 399,320.Sixty-three percent of the people are classified as urban residents, with44 percent residing within city limits.Accreditation<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, ACommission of the North Central Association of <strong>College</strong>s and Schools(NCA). Initial accreditation was granted the <strong>College</strong> in October, 1962by the Michigan Commission on <strong>College</strong> Accreditation. A status studyto prepare for candidacy was submitted to the NCA in May, 1964, as afirst step toward regional accreditation. <strong>College</strong> officials were notifiedin July, 1966, that the <strong>College</strong> had been accepted as a candidate for accreditationbased on a report of a NCA visitation team. The Self-StudyReport was completed in May, 1967, and accreditation was granted inApril of 1968. NCA has subsequently reaccredited the <strong>College</strong> in 1973,1984, 1993, and again in 2003. The <strong>College</strong> has also obtained approvalto offer all Associate degrees online and all online degrees facilitatedby The Michigan Community <strong>College</strong> Virtual Learning Collaborative.For inquiries regarding accreditation, contact The Higher LearningCommission, A Commission of the North Central Association of <strong>College</strong>sand Schools, 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois60602-2504; telephone 800-621-7440; fax 312-263-7462; or access the Website at www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org.Several career academic programs also have received additional accreditationstatus from their corresponding professional boards, councils, orregulatory groups.National League for Innovation<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a charter member of the National League for Innovationin the Community <strong>College</strong>. The League is comprised of 19 LeagueBoard Member college districts with 56 campuses, enrolling more than750,000 students. Additionally the League has over 750 colleges whohave Alliance membership. <strong>Delta</strong>’s membership is significant recognitionthat it is devoted to the improvement of learning through experimentationand innovation. The League places a strong emphasis on research,evaluation, and dissemination of information on innovations. In thisway, potentially valuable new approaches to instruction are made knownand an opportunity is provided to judge their suitability for use at othercolleges. Participation in League activities enables <strong>Delta</strong> to adapt andadopt those innovative practices which have proved effective elsewhere,while sharing the results of its own innovations with colleges in otherdistricts. This means that residents of all ages in the tri-counties havethe opportunity to share in the benefits of improved instruction andservices provided by the <strong>College</strong>.8 <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2011-2012


Profile of Our StudentsWhen <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> opened its doors in September, 1961, there were1,700 students, whereas in the Fall Semester of 2010 11,529 academicand skilled trades students were enrolled in courses and programson the Campus and in neighborhood centers. Who are these studentsand why do they enroll at <strong>Delta</strong>? Actually, there is no <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>student stereotype. Students differ considerably in their ethnic, social,and economic backgrounds and their educational goals. Most students(84.8%) reside in the tri-county district and more students are enrolledon a part-time basis than those attending full-time because most studentsare also working full or part-time. Some are rich, some are poor, mostare neither, but approximately two-thirds of students enrolled for sixor more academic credits receive some form of financial aid. Some haveprecise career plans while others want to explore before they decide;some are taking classes for personal enrichment reasons. What most havein common, though, is that they are seeking to learn and improve theirlives. Over the years, students have been asked about their reasons forchoosing and attending <strong>Delta</strong> and the five major reasons given have been:location of <strong>Delta</strong> (close to home and/or work); curriculum or programsoffered; low costs; course work relevant to goals; quality of instruction.The diversity of students at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>:Class DesignationFreshmen................................................................................................64.5%Sophomores...........................................................................................35.5%Student Age Distribution19 years old and under.........................................................................29.2%20-24 ....................................................................................................32.6%25-29 ....................................................................................................13.0%30-44 ....................................................................................................18.2%45 and over............................................................................................ 7.0%GenderFemales...................................................................................................54.0%Males ....................................................................................................46.0%Geographic ResidencesSaginaw County....................................................................................42.5%Bay County............................................................................................26.6%Midland County...................................................................................14.7%Other Michigan Counties....................................................................15.1%Out of State..............................................................................................0.1%Ethnic BackgroundsCaucasian...............................................................................................80.9%African-American................................................................................. 8.8%Hispanic................................................................................................. 4.8%Not designated...................................................................................... 2.2%Multi-racial............................................................................................ 1.1%Asian .................................................................................................... 0.8%Native American................................................................................... 0.6%International.......................................................................................... 0.8%Attendance DistributionDay hours only......................................................................................24.1%Evening hours only..............................................................................10.3%Weekends only...................................................................................... 0.2%Telecourse/Internet only...................................................................... 5.4%Combinations of above........................................................................60.0%Program ChoicesCareer Education Programs................................................................60.0%Transfer Programs................................................................................28.2%Deciding...................................................................................................7.0%Guest and Dual Enrolled..................................................................... 4.4%Personal Enrichment..............................................................................0.4%Figures based on Fall Semester 2010 (pertains only to students enrolled inacademic courses).<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2011-20129

Acceptable courses arespecified under the Associate in Arts and Associate in <strong>Science</strong> DegreeRequirements in Section IV, Academic Policies, Graduation Requirements.The specific requirements of the MACRAO Agreement are:24 <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2011-2012


1. English Composition 6 Semester Credits2. Humanities 8 Semester Credits(in at least two subject areas)3. Social <strong>Science</strong>s 8 Semester Credits(in at least two subject areas)4. Natural <strong>Science</strong>s 8 Semester Credits(in at least two subject areas; must include at least one lab course)5. A minimum of 12 credits must be taken at <strong>Delta</strong>.6. Achieve a minimum grade of “C” in each of the above courses.A certificate option for MACRAO is available, see “Liberal Arts” program.You can make a request that the MACRAO Agreement be put on yourofficial transcript at the Registrar’s Office or online at www.delta.edu.On the Web: www.macrao.orgTransferability of <strong>Delta</strong> CoursesBased upon information provided to <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> from the majorMichigan public and private four-year universities, <strong>Delta</strong>’s counseling/advising staff has developed many transfer program guide sheets whichprovide specific course equivalency information about how <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>courses will transfer relative to specific programs. The transferability ofcourses between colleges/universities depends on:1. The college/university into which you transfer.2. Your program of study (program, or more specifically, the majorand/or major and minors you are seeking).3. The grade you receive in the course. In general, a C or better is necessary;a B in “major” courses.4. Whether or not the transfer college/university has an equivalent (same)course and if so, the number of credits acceptable for their course.5. The level of the course. For example, an intermediate algebra coursemay be acceptable for one program, but not for others that requirehigher levels of mathematics.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> has liaison relationships with many colleges and universitiesregarding their transfer requirements and program recommendations;however, if you wish to transfer credits from <strong>Delta</strong> to another college/university,it is your responsibility to be aware of that institution’stransfer policies and program requirements.There is a limit to the number of credits you may transfer into a collegeor university. Generally, this is 62 credits, or half the total number ofcredits required for the Baccalaureate degree (always check with college/university).You should maintain close contact with your counselor or advisor for allpossible assistance in registering for the proper courses and maintainingthe necessary level of academic performance. While <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> willmake every effort to give proper guidance, you are responsible for yourown choices and for developing your own educational plan.Evaluating <strong>College</strong>sTransferring from one college/university to another is very common,but to make it a positive experience, you are encouraged to investigatecolleges and universities and their degree requirements; plan ahead; andwork closely with your <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> counselor/advisor, especially inselecting the correct courses for your transfer program. Listed below areseveral important things to think about as you start evaluating variouscolleges and universities. You may investigate colleges in Michigan atwww.macrao.org or www.michigantransfernetwork.org on the Internet.The academic climate of the institution should definitely be explored.Compare your background and abilities with those of the present studentsat that particular college or university. The transfer institution'sadmissions staff and your <strong>Delta</strong> counselor/advisor can be very helpfulin this regard. You should read carefully each institution’s statement onadmissions requirements to be certain you can meet them.The program offerings of the various institutions need to be consideredin your decision-making process. If you are interested in a specific fieldof study, you should look first at colleges and universities offering recognizedand accredited programs in that area. Not all colleges/universitiesoffer the same programs of study.There are non-academic factors to consider also in making your collegeor university choice. How large is the student body? Is campus housingavailable? What is the nature of the community in which the school islocated and how far is it from home? Does the institution provide theenvironment and opportunity for the types of extracurricular activitiesthat you enjoy (e.g., sports, arts, student government)? Where andwhat types of jobs are their graduates getting and what type of placementservices do they provide? Be sure to get answers to questions likethese through visits to the campus, by looking at the catalog, on thecollege/university’s homepage on the internet, or by talking to currentstudents at the college/university. This information can help you choosean institution that fits your personal interests.Your investigation should also include a thorough review of the cost ofthe college or university being considered. Usually the basic educationalexpenses of the institutions for an academic year can be determined fromtheir current catalog. Then, add on amounts for such items as personalexpenses and room and board to come to a total that will realisticallyreflect your overall costs.Last, but certainly not least, are the respective application proceduresfor admission and financial aid. You must submit all required admissionsforms correctly and on time if you expect full consideration. Youmust also submit all financial aid forms correctly and on time. Theschools often make their decisions about admission and financial aidsoon after the deadline. They must decide on the basis of the materialthat they have in hand, so it is to your advantage to be prompt and accurate.Many Michigan institutions charge an admissions applicationfee and all have specific deadline dates by which your application andother necessary credentials (required test scores, high school and collegetranscripts) must be received.Transfer Degree RequirementsEach institution of higher education has its own requirements foradmission, majors, general education, and so on. These requirementsare stated in the college/university’s official catalog, bulletin, or on itswebsite. Usually credits are defined as semester hours but some collegesand universities use the term or quarter hour system. To earn a Bachelor’sdegree, you will generally be required to fulfill the following:• Credit requirements. Minimum number of credits, typically 120 to130 semester credits for a Bachelor’s degree.• General Education requirements. Minimum number of credits earnedin each of certain broad groups of courses, such as the humanities, thesocial sciences, the physical or natural sciences, and mathematics. Someinstitutions refer to these as distribution or core requirements.• Level requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in courseson such levels as introductory, intermediate, and advanced, or inspecific numbered levels of courses such as 300 and 400, commonlyreferred to as junior and senior-level courses.• Major or concentration requirements. Minimum number of creditsearned in a subject area of specialization (i.e., English, chemistry,business administration) for the degree. About one-fourth of the totalnumber of credits required for a degree must be in the major or fieldof concentration.• Minor requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in a secondsubject of concentration/specialization. Generally the number ofcredits required is about half to two-thirds required for a major. Notall degrees require you to declare a minor.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2011-201225


• Residence requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in attendanceat the institution which is granting the degree (as opposedto transfer credits earned at another college/university). This is notto be confused with residency which refers to where one lives.• Elective requirements. Minimum number of credits earned in optionalcourses that the student chooses.• Grade requirements. Minimum cumulative grade point average GPAof grades earned in all courses taken and often, in all courses taken inthe major and/or minor. Some colleges and universities also requirea minimum grade in specific courses.• Specific subject requirements. Examples include: freshman-levelEnglish composition; mathematics; science; two years of foreignlanguage as demonstrated on a specified examination; and computerliteracy.26 <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2011-2012

Disputed Final Grade PolicyStudent Guide For Disputed Final GradeThe process involved in deciding to pursue a remedy to a final grade thatyou are disputing is not easy. Because of the emotional stress and strainthat may accompany this process, you should follow these basic stepstoward evaluating whether there is factual merit to your dispute andhow you need to organize the facts so that others involved might agreewith your dispute and support a resulting change in your final grade.Because <strong>Delta</strong> is a college-level adult environment, our philosophy isthat students are self-sufficient, independent and responsible participantsin the interactive, give-and-take, and subjective learning process.There is a human element on the side of the student and on the side ofthe instructor in every class situation. The human element means thatportions of a final grade that may be subjective in nature are always theprerogative of the instructor.A grade dispute must be based on correctable items or issues. For example,you must be able to point to concrete factors that have affectedyour final grade—points were left out of the grading total; an exam,project or presentation was scored incorrectly or not counted in the finaltally; a project or some extra-credit work did not get factored into thefinal point total, etc. Examples like these can be verified or discoveredby the instructor and/or division chairperson as they respond to yourdispute.Since a final grade assignment is made on an individual basis, thedispute procedure can only be used by an individual questioning hisor her own grade and cannot be used by one individual on behalf of agroup of individuals.Grounds for Appeal:There are only three grounds for a student grade appeal, and any ofthese grounds may be sufficient to warrant an appeal.1. The assignment of a grade in a manner other than that describedon the course outline or course syllabus.2. The assignment of a grade using a method other than that used forthe other students in the class.3. The assignment of a grade in a manner inconsistent with <strong>College</strong>policy, rules and regulations.Evaluation Strategy 1:Your first step when considering a final grade dispute should be to revisitthe course syllabus and compare its elements to where you believean error in grading occurred. The initial syllabus is very important toyour evaluation of how or whether to proceed. It was your “roadmap”for the course and should contain the expectations, standards, andmeasurements regarding how a final grade would be achieved. In thisevaluation you should be able to break your grade down into its variouspieces – quizzes, papers, projects, presentations, exams, and elementsof class attendance requirements and participation.Evaluation Strategy 2:When considering a dispute, this part of your evaluation is critical. Youneed to understand that learning style differences, needing a certain gradefor transfer, meeting a prerequisite, or simply needing or expecting todo better in a course, are not disputable elements. These elements mayhave had a legitimate impact on your final grade, but it is expected thatthey would have been addressed much earlier in the course experienceand in ways that would support the college-level independence, selfsufficiencyand personal responsibility pointed out earlier.Evaluation Strategy 3:If after careful self-reflection in steps 1 and 2 you believe that the appealof your final grade is still solid and tangible, then you should go to themore official step of filing your dispute with the Grade Ombudsman,Karen Treadway (LLIC), Phone (989) 686-9275 or email kgtreadw@delta.edu. The following outlines the basic steps and timelines contained inthe Disputed Final Grade Policy, 4.025. A complete copy is availablefrom the Grade Ombudsman.Informal ProcessA student who wishes to discuss concerns regarding a grade will contactthe faculty member and/or the division chair no later than twenty-fivecalendar days following the date the grade was posted or the date thegrade was due, whichever date is the latest. The faculty member andthe student will attempt to resolve the differences. The division chairmay be asked to assist with the conflict resolution.Formal Process1. To formally appeal a final grade for a course, the student mustcontact the Grade Ombudsman within five (5) calendar days afterthe conference with the faculty member and/or division chair.2. The student will write, within five calendar days of meeting withthe Grade Ombudsman, a formal statement that explains the circumstancesof the disputed grade. The statement will be given tothe faculty member by the Ombudsman.3. The faculty member will write a statement of response and submitit to the division chair and the Grade Ombudsman within fivecalendar days of receiving the student's statement.4. The grade Ombudsman will supply the student with a copy of thefaculty member's statement and supply the division chair with acopy of the student's statement.5. The chair will meet with the student and the faculty member withinfive calendar days of receiving the student's and faculty member'sstatements to discuss the grade appeal.6. The chair will take one of the following actions within two calendardays of the meeting with the student and the faculty member:• Dismiss the appeal and the grade remains.• Recommend a change of grade, or a change in the grade underspecific conditions which are defined by the chair.7. The recommendation of the chair may be appealed to the GradeAppeal Board by either the faculty member or the student withinthree calendar days of receiving the chair's recommendation.8. The Grade Appeal Board is composed of seven members: four facultymembers, (three appointed by the Faculty Executive Committeeand one appointed by the chair from the Division which offersthe course in which the grade is being appealed); the appropriateacademic dean; one Student & Educational Services representativeappointed by the Vice President of Student & Educational Services;and one student from the Student/Senate Liaison Committee, appointedby the Senate President.9. The Grade Appeal Board will meet within 10 calendar days ofreceiving the appeal at a time when both parties are available torespond to the Board's questions. Under special circumstances, alternatesmay be appointed to the Grade Appeal Board by the personoriginally responsible for the appointment of that position.10. By majority vote, the Grade Appeal Board will make one of thefollowing decisions within two calendar days of the meeting:• The appeal is dismissed and the grade remains.• The grade dispute is resolved by changing the grade, or changingthe grade under specific conditions. All members of theBoard will determine if the grade should be changed and thefaculty members on the Board will decide the specific gradeto be awarded.11. Decisions reached by the Grade Appeal Board may be appealed tothe President of the <strong>College</strong>. The President will only hear appealsthat involve claims of procedural mistakes made in the processdefined above. The President may:• Dismiss the appeal• Return the case to the Grade Appeal Board for rehearing.<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> 2011-2012193

Grades of W, WI, NC-No Credit, I-Incomplete, and F-Failure arenot considered to be satisfactory completions.3.

(Studentschoosing this option should be aware that grades of C-, D+, D,and D-, which are considered as satisfactory completions, will beconverted to NC grades, which are not considered to be satisfactorycompletions.)C. Satisfactory Academic Progress also requires that financial aidrecipients complete the Certificate or Associate degree within atime frame which, by federal regulation, is 150% of the publishedlength of the program. For example, if a student is in an Associatedegree program that requires 62 credits, the degree must be completedin a maximum of 150% of 62 credits, or 93 credits includingboth attempted and completed credits. (Students should consultthe <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Catalog, Section III, Programs of Study, to findthe number of credits required in their Certificate or Associatedegree program, then multiply that number by 1.5 to determinethe maximum number of credits.)1. When students reach the maximum number of credits, financialaid will be terminated.2. All semesters are taken into consideration when determining themaximum number of credits, whether or not students receivedaid during those semesters.3. All grades (A through F, P, I, NC, W, and WI) and repeated coursesare counted in determining the maximum number of credits.4.

Records are reviewed again priorto awarding for the Spring-Summer Semester. Additionally, academicrecords for loan recipients are checked prior to each disbursement.Students receiving aid whom the <strong>College</strong> places on Academic Probationbetween reviews will maintain their aid eligibility (but not their loaneligibility) for the probational semester(s) until the next review, providingthem with the opportunity to improve their academic records and onceagain meet Standards. If Standards of Academic Progress for FinancialAid recipients are not met at the time of the next review, financial aidwill be terminated.II. AppealsA. Students who have been terminated from further financial aid forfailure to meet Standards of Academic Progress have the right toappeal. All appeals must be submitted in writing on the SatisfactoryAcademic Progress Appeal Form to the Financial Aid Office. Appealsmust be received no later than two weeks before the semesterbegins.

Students submitting appeals should state the reasonswhy satisfactory progress was not made and discuss actions thathave been or will be taken to make satisfactory progress in the future.Documentation supporting the reasons for the appeal mustbe attached. Appeals submitted without documentation will notbe considered. Mitigating circumstances beyond the reasonablecontrol of students, such as injury or illness, death of a relative, orother special circumstances may be grounds for successful appeals.1. If appeals are approved, students will receive an additionalprobational semester of aid during which they must EITHERcomplete all courses in which they register with grades of C(2.0) or better (no C-, D+, D, D-, F, or NC grades), and with noWithdrawals (W or WI) and no Incompletes (I), OR once againmeet the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Standards of Academic Progress for FinancialAid Recipients. At the end of the semester, grades willbe checked.2. If students have met the Standards of Academic Progress forFinancial Aid Recipients, aid will once again be awarded.

Grades will be checked at the endof each semester before aid is awarded for the next semester toensure that students are continuing to make academic progress.This process will continue until such time as the student onceagain meets the Standards of Academic Progress for FinancialAid Recipients. If it should be found that students have not madeacademic progress during one of these probational semesters, aidwill be denied and the students will have to attend at their ownexpense until such time as the Standards of Academic Progressfor Financial Aid Recipients are once again met.B. A second Standards of Academic Progress appeal may be submittedto the Director of Financial Aid if a student has additional documentationfor consideration.

Ifthe faculty member determines that this policy has been violated,then the process outlined below will be followed.1. If the faculty member decides that a violation of this policywill not affect the student’s assignment or course grade, thefaculty member will explain the violation to the student andwarn the student of future consequences for similar behavior.2. If a faculty member decides that a violation of this policy willaffect the student’s grade in the course, then the faculty memberwill explain the decision in writing to the student within areasonable time frame. The faculty member will then sendcopies of the written explanation to the appropriate DivisionChair, Academic Dean, and the Chief Academic Officer of the<strong>College</strong>.Both the Division Office and Academic Office will maintainpermanent records of these violations.B. When a violation is reported to the Academic Office, the ChiefAcademic Officer of the <strong>College</strong> will determine appropriateconsequences beyond the course grade for the student, including,particularly in the case of a repeated violation of this policy,possible dismissal from the <strong>College</strong>.VI. Process for Policy Violations by <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Faculty and StaffSuspected violations will be reviewed by the Senate Presidentand the <strong>College</strong> President and may be investigated by an ad hoccommittee appointed and charged by them. The membership ofany such committee will represent the appropriate <strong>College</strong> groups.After an investigation of suspected violation, this committee mayrecommend further action to the <strong>College</strong> President.Student Code of Ethical ConductWe students acknowledge that <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> is an educational institutionthat values equality of opportunity, academic freedom, academicexcellence, diversity, and life-long learning. We respect the mission andvalues of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>, and recognize our obligations to fellow students,to faculty, to staff, and to the community.Obligations to our fellow students and to faculty: we treat all studentsand instructors with respect, honesty, and fairness, and uphold theirrights to autonomy, privacy, and safety. We support the rights of othersto express their views in the spirit of academic freedom, and will notridicule, intimidate, or coerce students or instructors.We encourageacademic excellence and discourage academic misconduct. We arecommitted to learning, to our obligations as students, and to the higheststandards of academic integrity.Obligations to staff and to our community: We read, understand, andcomply with all <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> policies, rules, and regulations in our rolesas students. We treat staff and all members of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> communitywith respect, honesty, and fairness. We are devoted to safeguarding theresources of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>, and to using those resources for the benefitof the <strong>College</strong> and its surrounding communitiesDisruptive StudentsDisruptive student conduct is defined as student behavior or a pattern ofbehavior that interferes with a positive educational atmosphere, the civilexchange of ideas, classroom/campus order or may endanger the safetyof students and staff. Senate policy 4.020, Disruptive Students, and theseprocedures identify the progressive steps designed to remedy situationsin which a student’s behavior is judged to be disruptive or threatening.If the behavior is such that the faculty/staff member reasonably fearsimmediate harm, then campus police should be called and Policy 8.045,Student Violation of <strong>College</strong> Rules and Regulations,will be followed.Disruptive conduct taints the educational atmosphere and may endangerthe safety of students and staff. Accordingly, when student conduct createsa serious enough disruption such that the only reasonable solutionis removal of the student, a student may be temporarily removed froma class/campus area, permanently removed from the class/campus area,or expelled from class/campus. All persons involved in implementingthis policy and procedure should exercise caution to ensure that thebehavior is severe enough to warrant the response and that the studentis afforded appropriate due process consisting of notice and anopportunity to be heard.The disruptive student policy and accompanying procedures assumethat the faculty/staff will make every attempt to resolve this issue withthe student through such informal methods as individual conferencesand/or written messages. If these informal methods have not met withsuccess, the following formal procedures will be implemented:1. The student will be verbally warned by the faculty or staff memberthat the student’s behavior is considered to be disruptive (describethe behavior to which the faculty/staff member is referring) andthat if the student continues the behavior, he/she will be asked toleave the class/ campus area.2. If the student persists with the disruptive behavior, the faculty/staff member can then ask the student to leave the class or campusarea. At this time the faculty/staff must warn the student thatfailure to leave may result in police intervention. The faculty/staffmust indicate whether the suspension is just for that day or if thestudent must appeal to the appropriate Division Chair/Supervisorto reenter the class/campus area.3. If after the previous verbal warnings the student continues todemonstrate disruptive behavior, the faculty/staff has the option tosummon the appropriate police agency who will have the option ofarresting the student for criminal trespass, if necessary. The faculty/staff member’s request for the student to leave provides the policeagency with sufficient probable cause to effect an arrest.4.
