Corrections/changes are highlighted in this version.

7. Table Discussion Feedback Reporting Issues/Behaviors
Is there a central reporting system and are New Faculty trained?
Conduct issues can be reported in several ways:
Conduct Report Form (Advocate system also tracks TIX and BIT):
Early Alert System in Blackboard
Directly to Lina (Director) or Thalia Guerra-Flores (Assistant Director)
At the NFI, Lina does training sessions regarding conduct issues
All Faculty could undergo training over the Student Code of Conduct
Training can be done departmentally with Lina attending department meetings

8. Table Discussion Feedback Reporting Issues/Behaviors
When to report and What to report
There are examples provided under Academic Honesty, Classroom Misconduct and General Conduct of what could be considered violations
Faculty have say in how to handle classroom issues and if/when they want to report those issues
Conduct web page has several useful resources
You can always consult!

9. Table Discussion Feedback Clarifications
Request to clarify Lab situation and safety regarding electronics/cell phones
This falls under the syllabus policies by the faculty
Could also be a department policy posted for students in a program
Location and program questions/clarification
Off-site-GRCC students are upheld to the student code of conduct
The GRCC Code of Conduct is baseline for all students
Departments and Programs may have their own Code/Handbook students must follow in addition to the Code of Conduct
Middle College/HS students-how does it work if they are suspended from the HS and not GRCC(and vice versa)? At this point, it would be dealt with as a case-by-case basis in close communication with Lina, the high school counselor and Dean Dan Clark.

10. Table Discussion Feedback
Question about classroom misconduct language and ADA accommodations
Included language after examples
Students with approved accommodations through Disability Support Services (DSS) have the right to receive and utilize appropriate accommodations, which may include behavior or the use of technology otherwise restricted.
Consistency in language for classroom penalties and conduct sanctions
Classroom penalties-suggested to use another word. This works to separate out the difference between conduct sanctions and classroom penalties
Reviewed to check the language of classroom penalties and classroom misconduct are used consistently throughout

11. Current Version and Suggested Edits

Working Draft - Includes suggested changes from Review Team* and AGC:
