• The Dean provides ongoing support for KCP faculty in academic matters and<br />
collaborates with <strong>the</strong> KCP <strong>of</strong>fice on hiring, scheduling and dealing with academic issues<br />
and student matters takes place on a daily basis.<br />
The Dean works with <strong>the</strong> campus Business Division to continuously review and update <strong>the</strong> KCP<br />
courses, assessments and program outcomes to match changes on campus, while taking<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> differences across sites that can be used for student learning. For example,<br />
KCP students compare Chinese business practices to those in <strong>the</strong> U.S, particularly in areas such<br />
as Leadership, Marketing, and Organizational Behavior. The Dean works with <strong>the</strong> Center for<br />
Experiential Education on assessment and monitoring <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> extensive KCP Field Period<br />
program, and with <strong>the</strong> Center for Global Education on exchange programs for KCP students<br />
coming to <strong>Keuka</strong> College campus and for KC students going to China (for a complete report, see<br />
(see Appendix 6.27 <strong>Keuka</strong> China Programs Narrative).<br />
In addition, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Keuka</strong> College Registrar and Dean for <strong>Keuka</strong> China Programs work with KCPI<br />
to closely track <strong>the</strong> following information to ensure it is complete and accurate:<br />
• The annual teaching schedule. This is developed by <strong>the</strong> KCPI <strong>of</strong>fice, in consultation with<br />
<strong>Keuka</strong> College.<br />
• All faculty contracts and supporting personnel files. Faculty are appointed by <strong>the</strong> VPAA, and<br />
contracts are issued by KCPI, with credentials on file at both locations.<br />
• Student grades. These are submitted directly by <strong>the</strong> faculty members to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Keuka</strong> College<br />
registrar; grade reports are released to KCPI, students, and partner universities. Beginning in<br />
Fall 2012, faculty submit grades online and students can access <strong>the</strong>m online.<br />
• Student records. Registrar provides duplicates to <strong>the</strong> KCPI <strong>of</strong>fice. All <strong>of</strong>ficial records <strong>of</strong><br />
academic credit earned in <strong>the</strong> China program, transcripts and diplomas, are issued by <strong>Keuka</strong><br />
College.<br />
<strong>Keuka</strong> China students are recruited through <strong>the</strong> Chinese university enrollment system that begins<br />
with <strong>the</strong> national university entrance examination, or gaokao. Each university recruits students<br />
directly into <strong>the</strong> <strong>Keuka</strong> China Program at <strong>the</strong> specific campus. Students have selected a range <strong>of</strong><br />
schools and programs based on <strong>the</strong> recruiting information provided by each university (see 2011<br />
recruiting materials for each partner university on <strong>Keuka</strong> China Program’s Moodle page at<br />
http://online.keuka.edu) and are admitted to only one program based on exam scores. All<br />
admissions to <strong>the</strong> KCP program are conditional until <strong>the</strong> English language pr<strong>of</strong>iciency<br />
requirement is met.<br />
KCP enrolled 3441 students in Fall 2010, slightly less than 3000 in Fall 2011, and 2711 in Fall<br />
2012. Enrollment has declined over <strong>the</strong> last few years, in part because China has reduced its<br />
national quota for management majors and in part because KCP reduced enrollment at Wenzhou<br />
University while intensifying <strong>the</strong> English-language entry requirements, <strong>final</strong>ly halting new<br />
admissions for Fall 2012. For 2012-13, China programs enrollment totals 626 new students.<br />
