Malcolm X College Handbook - City Colleges of Chicago

Postcards are available through the departmental secretary or clerk, to mail to
students who have been absent for more than one class session. Sending a
postcard or calling the student by phone helps you to maintain contact with
students and keep them actively pursuing their course work.
Note: Although it is disruptive to have students entering your classroom at
varying time. Please remember that CCC policy (2.30, Academic Policy
Manual) states, "A student who is officially registered for a class cannot
be excluded from that class for tardiness."

Adjunct faculty must conduct one hour of advisement. You are required to be
available for the following college-wide activities: in-service training;
appropriate committee and departmental meetings; faculty meetings called by

Classroom Manners and Maintenance
In consideration for the next group to use the classroom when you leave it,
courtesy suggests that you erase the boards, return the chairs to the row-byrow
setup if the chairs have been rearranged, turn off the lights and lock the
door. During the heat of summer, drapes should be closed on the westside
rooms to provide a more comfortable climate for evening classes. In the winter,
curtains should be left open when the sun is shining so the room will be
comfortable for the next class.
If you encounter any of the following classroom conditions, please report to the
department in parenthesis. (Most requests require that a written
Maintenance/Work Order Form be filled out and taken to the Dean's office for
approval followed by Facilities and Operations Department, contact persons are
Juan Garica and Maurice Roberts, located in Room 1509.
