Registration Duties for Teachers

Teachers should plan to set aside at least part of the first day of class to deal with registration and other administrative duties associated with the course. After receiving feedback from teachers, we have decided to break the link for students access to the drop/add/withdrawal system this will prevent students from being able to withdraw from the class after the course has begun unless they have permission from the teacher. Students requesting to withdraw from a course must speak with their teacher who in turn will discuss the matter with the professor. 

Additionally, teachers must log into the College Now website and complete a brief "Course Verification" survey for each class they teach.

• The survey will verify that the teacher has collected Student/Parent Acknowledgement Forms, logged in to e-services to verify the course rosters for accuracy, and understands the ramifications to students if these tasks have not been completed.
• This survey MUST be completed no later than one day after the last day to register for a class.
• The responses to this survey are vital to planning, effective communication, and accreditation.

Student Privacy

Pursuant to federal law, College Now students are protected under the FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA). What does that mean for professors, teachers, or high school administrators? Basically, we are not allowed to discuss grades, conduct, or anything else specific to a student with anyone but that student, even if they are under 18. That means if a parent calls and asks about the grades of their child we are not allowed (by federal mandate) to talk to them about their daughter/son. A few important notes about this:

1. It is permissible to talk with parents about general procedures and non-specific types of information.
2. High schools teachers and administrators can still discuss the high school portion of the class, as they would normally.

By selecting the "FERPA" button below, you can view the actual mandate.
