Achieve Success5ACHIEVE SUCCESSDear Students, Faculty and Staff:Please take the time to read carefully and reflect on the Achieve Success steps identified below.The objective of this document is to inform students of their personal responsibilities for their owneducation and to focus faculty and staff on what they should expect of students wishing to maximizetheir higher education experience.AttendanceCritical ThinkingHonestyIntensityExpectationValueEnlightenmentStudents are expected to attend all classes, to come to class prepared, tobe on time, to have all required materials, to complete all homework, and tobe prepared to participate in classroom discussions and learning activities.Being absent does not excuse you from your responsibilities regardingmaterial covered, quizzes, exams, homework, experiments or projects.Today’s workplace requires employees who can systematically applyknowledge and critical thinking skills. It is not enough to memorize facts orfigures; students must be able to use information to further investigate theirworkplace as well as world events.There is no substitute for honesty. Students are responsible for knowing thestandards of conduct in the Student Policies and Procedures section of the<strong>GateWay</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Catalog and Student Handbook, and mustadhere to these standards at all times.Attitude is everything! Education is important for personal success todaymore than ever before. Make education a priority. Success demandspersistence and the intense commitment of time and talent.Expect to be taught well, but also accept your personal responsibilityto learn. Faculty can expose you to an abundance of information, andthey can provide you with opportunities and activities that are conduciveto learning. As a student, you must seize opportunities to apply thatinformation to specific situations that confront you in your everyday life.Value your education. Make it your personal goal to graduate with theknowledge and skills necessary to be one of the best at what you do.Ask yourself why you are seeking a higher education. Challenge yourself toachieve success at the highest level possible.Eugene Giovannini, Ed.D.President, <strong>GateWay</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>S U C C E S S

Student Handbook <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>41STUDENT RIGHTS ANDRESPONSIBILITIESCopyright Act Compliance (A.R. 2.4.5)Students are expected to comply with theprovisions of the Copyright Act of 1976 pertainingto photocopying of printed materials, copying ofcomputer software and videotaping. In order toassist students in complying with the CopyrightLaw, appropriate notices shall be placed on or nearall equipment capable of duplicating copyrightedmaterials.Copyright Regulation (A.R. 3.2)1. It is the intent of the Governing Board of theMaricopa County <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> District toadhere to the provisions of the U.S. CopyrightLaw (Title 17, United States Code Section 101 etseq.). Though there continues to be controversyregarding interpretation of the Copyright Law, thispolicy represents a sincere effort by the Board tooperate legally within the District.2. The Governing Board directs the Chancelloror his designee(s) to develop and distribute toemployees guidelines that (1) clearly discourageviolation of the Copyright Law and (2) informemployees of their rights and responsibilitiesunder the Copyright Law.3. Each college president or provost and theChancellor shall name an individual(s) ateach district location who will assume theresponsibilities of distributing copyrightguidelines, act as a resource person regardingcopyright matter and provide training programson current copyright laws.4. Employees are prohibited from copying materialsnot specifically allowed by the (1) copyright Law,(2) fair use guidelines, (3) Licenses or contractualagreements, or (4) other permission.5. The Governing Board disapproves of unauthorizedduplication in any form. Employees whowillfully disregard this Board policy and/or theaforementioned copyright guidelines do so attheir own risk and assume all liability for theiractions.6. In order to assist employees and students incomplying with the Copyright Law, appropriatenotices shall be placed on or near all equipmentcapable of duplicating copyrighted materials.What Students Should Know AboutCopyrightWhat is copyright?Copyright is a protection afforded under federallaw for various types of creative works. A work iscopyrightable if it is an original work of authorshipfixed in a tangible medium of expression.Copyrightable works include literary, musical ordramatic works; motion pictures and other audiovisualworks; choreographic works and pantomimes; soundrecordings; and architectural works.The owner of a copyright in a particular work has theexclusive right to copy, display, perform, distribute, andcreate a derivative version of the work. Generally, then,this means that you may not do things like duplicate,show or perform a copyrighted work unless it isexpressly allowed under the Copyright Act or you havethe prior permission of the copyright holder.A copyright exists in a work at the time it becomesfixed in some tangible medium of expression.Neither registration of the copyright with the federalgovernment nor a copyright notice on the work itself isrequired for copyright protection.What is copyright infringement?Generally, copyright infringement occurs when youcopy, display, perform, distribute or create a derivativeversion of a copyrightable work either without the permissionof the copyright holder or when such activityis not otherwise allowed under an exception providedby federal copyright law. The penalties for infringementinclude significant damages-potentially in excessof $100,000 for each work infringed.How does copyright law affect information Iobtain off the Internet?Copyright law covers works in both traditional andnew media, including digital media. Copyrightablematerials are often available on the Internet withoutany indication of their copyrighted status. As a rule ofthumb, you should assume that everything you find onthe Internet is copyrighted, unless otherwise labeled.Even popular activities, such as file swapping orcopying software or pictures from the Internet, may becopyright infringement and should be avoided.The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which Congressenacted in 2000, affords greater protection forcopyright holders of digital works. Generally, then,even if a work appears solely in a digital form, it islikely subject to copyright law protections.New technology has made many creative workswidely available through the Internet. For example, thetechnology known as Peer to Peer (P2P) allows for thetransmission of music, videos, movies, software, videogames and other materials-most of which is subject tocopyright protection.Remember that a copyright exists in a work at thetime it becomes fixed in some tangible mediumof expression. That means that an image you havedownloaded from the Internet, as well as a videoor musical performance is almost certainly subjectto copyright protection. When you download theseworks, transfer them to a disk or other medium, orsend them to a friend, you are infringing on the rightsof the copyright holder. Trafficking in such materialwithout the permission of the copyright holder, then,violates copyright law. This includes unauthorizedmusic file sharing over the Internet.
42 Student Handbook <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>According to a statement recently issued byrepresentatives of the motion picture, recording andsongwriting industries, uploading and downloadingcopyrighted works over the Internet is theft: “It is nodifferent from walking into the campus bookstore andin a clandestine manner walking out with a textbookwithout paying for it.”Why is it important for a student to be aware ofcopyright law?Copyright infringement is expressly prohibited by theUS Copyright Act. Anyone who infringes another’scopyright in a creative work is subject to liability, andcould be required to pay large sums in damages.In addition, as the law clearly prohibits copyrightinfringement, using any college resources-such asphotocopiers, desktop and laptop computers, printers,central computing facilities, local-area or collegewidenetworks, Internet access, or electronic mail-forthe purpose of infringing a copyright in any workmay be grounds for student discipline. According toMaricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> District administrativeregulation, “students are expected to comply withthe provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976 pertainingto photocopying of printed materials, copying ofcomputer software and videotaping.”Moreover, under the Maricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>sComputing Resource Standards, a student isprohibited from the “use of software, graphics,photographs, or any other tangible form of expressionthat would violate or infringe any copyright orsimilar legally-recognized protection of intellectualproperty rights.” The Standards also prohibit“transmitting, storing, or receiving data, or otherwiseusing computing resources in a manner that wouldconstitute a violation of state or federal law . . . .”A student who violates these policies, then, can bedisciplined at any of the Maricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s.This discipline could include suspension or even expulsion.Does copyright law allow me to download filesfrom a college web site?Thanks to recent changes to copyright law, collegesand universities are allowed to transmit copyrightedimages, recordings, and other materials over theInternet in connection with distance learning offerings.These changes allow for the performance of nondramaticliterary works or musical works, as well asthe display of “reasonable and limited portions” ofany work in an amount comparable to that typicallydisplayed in a live classroom setting. Use of the worksmust, however, be “an integral part” of the distancelearningclass session, and available solely to studentsenrolled in the class. In addition, the transmission ofthe copyrighted works must be under the direction oractual supervision of an instructor.Even though the college does not hold the copyrightto these works, or even have the express permission ofthe copyright holder, they may be delivered over theInternet to students in distance learning classes.The fact that the law authorizes such use ofcopyrighted materials, though, does not allow astudent in these classes to freely download, copy, orre-transmit the works. They are intended solely foruse by the institution in connection with distanceinstruction; any other use would likely constitute aviolation of copyright law.Taping of Faculty Lectures (A.R. 3.4)MCCCD acknowledges that faculty members are, bylaw, afforded copyright protection in their classroomlectures and, therefore, may limit the circumstancesunder which students may tape (audio/visual) theirclasses.Each faculty member shall inform his/her studentswithin the first week of classes to his/her policy withregard to taping. Failure to do so will accord studentsthe right to tape lectures.Students with disabilities that render them unableto take adequate lecture notes are entitled toreasonable accommodation to remedy this inability.Accommodation may require a faculty member toexempt a student from his/her taping policy.Technology Resource Standards (A.R. 4.4)IntroductionThe Maricopa County <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> District(MCCCD) provides its students, employees, GoverningBoard members and the public with access toinformation resources and technologies. MCCCDrecognizes that the free exchange of opinions andideas is essential to <strong>academic</strong> freedom, and theadvancement of educational, research, service,operational, and management purposes, is furtheredby making these resources accessible.Arizona constitutional and statutory mandates requirethat MCCCD resources, including technology, be usedonly for the public’s business, and not for privatepurposes. Those mandates apply to all MCCCD publicofficials–employees of every kind and the GoverningBoard. The aim of those laws is to safeguard the useof resources, including technology resources, acquiredand maintained with public funds. Compliance withother laws–both federal and state–also dictates theneed for standards for the use of MCCCD technologyresources. In some cases, the Governing Board policiesemphasize the importance of compliance with the lawsuch as the requirement to adhere to copyright laws.Governing Board policies also establish MCCCD’s ownstandards, such as the directive that all persons withinthe MCCCD community be treated in a manner that ishumane, fair and dignified.This administrative regulations established standardsfor the use of MCCCD technology resources.They should be seen as supplementing, and notin lieu of, Governing Board policy, applicable lawand other applicable administrative regulationssuch as Administrative Regulation 4.3 “ElectronicCommunications.”
Student Handbook <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>43General ResponsibilitiesTechnology resources (including, but not limitedto, desktop and laptop systems, printers, centralcomputing facilities, MCCCD-wide or college-widenetworks, local-area networks, telephones, facsimilemachines, scanners, access to the Internet, electronicmail and similar electronic devices and information)of the MCCCD are available to MCCCD GoverningBoard members, employees, students and, in a limitednumber of cases, MCCCD contractors and the public.Use of all those resources is subject to the standardsset forth in this regulation (Standards).The first screen that each MCCCD computer exhibitson starting up advises users of these Standards andrequires an acknowledgment before the user mayproceed to the next screen. Additionally, all MCCCDemployees are responsible for annually acknowledgingreceipt of the Blue Book, which contains thisregulation. So all users of MCCCD technologyresources are presumed to have read and understoodthe Standards. While the Standards govern use oftechnology resources MCCCD-wide, an individualcommunity college or center may establish guidelinesfor technology resource usage that supplement, butdo not replace or waive, these Standards.Use of Non-MCCCD TechnologyUnder Arizona’s public records law, MCCCD is requiredto transact business so that its records are accessibleand retrievable. The policy underlying the law is thatwork done in the name of the public be transparent.Thus, any member of the public may request publicrecords and, except in a few specific instances, areentitled to get copies of them.Each individual employee or Governing Board memberis responsible for ensuring that MCCCD records thathe or she initiates or receives are retained for theperiod of time required by and disposed of accordingto mandates established by Arizona State Library,Archives and Public Records–the state agency taskedwith setting standards for record retention. Therefore,an employee’s or Governing Board member’s use ofnon-MCCCD technology resources for communicationof any type of MCCCD business is heavily discouragedbecause those records are less capable of beingmanaged according to MCCCD’s process for ensuringretention, retrieval and disclosure set forth inAdministrative Regulation 4.15 “Retrieval, Disclosureand Retention of Records.”Additionally, an MCCCD employee who receivesa communication allegedly from another MCCCDemployee using a non-MCCCD e-mail address is notrequired to respond substantively to that e-mail. Theemployee receiving the e-mail is entitled to verify thatthe sender is whom he or she says that he or she is.The employee receiving the e-mail may request thatthe sender provide the information or inquiry set forthin the e-mail via hard-copy form.Acceptable UseUse of MCCCD’s technology resources, includingwebsites created by MCCCD employees and students,is limited to educational, research, service, operationaland management purposes of the MCCCD and itsmember institutions. Likewise, data, voice, images andlinks to external sites posted on or transmitted viaMCCCD’s technology resources are limited to the samepurposes.Frequently, access to MCCCD’s technology resourcescan be obtained only through use of a passwordknown exclusively to the MCCCD employees,Governing Board members or students. It is thoseusers’ responsibility to keep a password confidential.While MCCCD takes reasonable measures to ensurenetwork security, it cannot be held accountable forunauthorized access to its technology resources byother persons, both within and outside the MCCCDcommunity. Moreover, it cannot guarantee employees,Governing Board members and students protectionagainst reasonable failures. Finally, under certainlimited circumstances defined in AdministrativeRegulation 4.15 “Retrieval, Disclosure and Retention ofRecords,” certain MCCCD employees are authorized toaccess information on an MCCCD technology device.It is not Maricopa’s practice to monitor the contentof electronic mail transmissions, files, images, links orother data stored on or transmitted through Maricopa’stechnology resources. The maintenance, operationand security of Maricopa’s technology resources,however, require that network administrators and otherauthorized personnel have access to those resourcesand, on occasion, review the content of data andcommunications stored on or transmittted throughthose resources. Any other review may be performedexclusively by persons expressly authorized for suchpurpose and only for cause. To the extent possiblein the electronic environment and in a public setting,a user’s privacy will be honored. Nevertheless, thatprivacy is subject to Arizona’s public records lawsand other applicable state and federal laws, as well aspolicies of Maricopa’s Governing Board all of whichmay supersede a user’s interests in maintaining privacyin information contained in Maricopa’s technologyresources.Incidental Computer and Technology UsageLimited incidental personal use of MCCCD technologyresources including through use of personal e-mailsystems is permitted, except as described in item16 under “Prohibited Conduct.” MCCCD employeesare responsible for exercising good judgment aboutpersonal use in accordance with this regulation,<strong>College</strong>s’ consistent local guidelines and MCCCDethical standards. Personal use refers to activitieswhich only affect the individual and that are notrelated to an employee’s outside business. MCCCDemployees are required to conduct themselves in amanner which will not raise concern that they are ormight be engaged in acts in violations of the publictrust.

The MCCCD may not deny recognition or anyprivilege or benefit to a religious or political studentorganization or group that exercises its rights pursuantto the statute.Whereas ARS §15-1863 allows religious and politicalorganizations to determine their internal affairs and theselection of their leaders and members, the MCCCDnon-discrimination policy is applicable to all otheraspects of these student clubs and organizations.Appendix S-13: The Maricopa <strong>Community</strong><strong>College</strong>s Allied Health or Nursing ProgramIn collaboration and partnership with the healthcare community and its response to the dynamicchanges occurring in the health care arena and healthcare practice, the Maricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>sintegrated the curriculum of all allied health andnursing programs. All allied health or nursing programpathways and educational offerings emphasize theachievement of relevant competencies and providevalue to the individual, the employer, and thecommunity. As a result, graduates of the various alliedhealth or nursing program pathways will meet thecommunity’s demand for a flexible, multi-skilled healthcare workforce that meets employer and consumerneeds. Refer to individual college catalogs for specifichealth care program pathways.For further information, healthcare.maricopa.edu is acomprehensive information source.Allied Health or Nursing Assumption of Risk/Release of LiabilityMost of the allied health or nursing program pathwaysinclude a program of study in a clinical trainingenvironment that may contain exposures to risksinherent in patient-oriented educational experiences(such as but not limited to bodily injury or communicableand infectious diseases). Students enrolling in clinicaleducational courses will be asked to sign a statementassuming all risks inherent in their coursework.Use of Confidential InformationStudents enrolled in allied health or nursing programpathways will have learning experiences in a healthcare setting where they will have access to confidentialinformation. Prior to beginning any clinical studies,the students will be asked to sign an agreement toadhere to the requirements of those clinical sitesand applicable law, including the Health InsurancePortability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).Allied Health or Nursing Program <strong>College</strong>AttendanceAs the allied health or nursing programs are integratedacross the Maricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s, college ofattendance requirements for the completion of thehealthcare program pathways can be met throughthe completion of coursework taken at all Maricopa<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s and Skills Centers.MCCCD Required Background ChecksStudents enrolled in an MCCCD allied health ornursing program are required to complete and passclinical learning experiences, working with children,elderly persons, and other vulnerable populations.MCCCD’s major clinical agency partners nowmandate that any college students assigned to themfor clinical experiences submit to a comprehensivebackground clearance prior to entering suchlearning experiences. Because the clinical experienceportion of the programs is critical to completinga program of study, MCCCD has instituted twospecific background check requirements in orderfor a student to enroll in a program on or afterSeptember 1, 2011. First, the student must obtain, athis or her own cost, a Level I Fingerprint ClearanceCard from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.Precluding offenses for a Level I card can be foundin Arizona Revised Statute § 41-1758.07 (www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/41/01758-07.htm&Title=41&DocType=ARS). Additionally,students must also obtain a “pass” status on aMCCCD supplemental background check fromMCCCD’s authorized background check contractor.The student must also pay for this background check.The supplemental check will be based on the moststringent standards of MCCCD’s clinical experiencepartners.The sole program for which the background checkrequirements are different is the Emergency MedicalTechnician program. For that program, studentsmust have obtained a Level 1 Fingerprint ClearanceCard from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.They are also required, at the time of their clinicalassignments, to submit to, pay for and pass anyadditional background check requirements of theclinical agencies to which their EMT program placesstudents.Certain licensing boards may require a separatebackground check or clearance card upon applicationfor licensure or certification.The MCCCD supplemental background check reviewmay include searches of the following databases andinformation but MCCCD reserves the right to changethe search criteria and the program background checkrequirements at any time without notice:1. National Federal Health Care and AbuseDatabases2. Social Security Number Verification3. Residency History4. Arizona Statewide Criminal offense Databases5. Nationwide Criminal offense Databases6. State of Arizona and National Sexual OffenderRegistries7. Homeland Security Watch ListsExamples of background information that will resultin a “fail” status on the supplemental backgroundcheck include:1. Social Security number does not belong to theapplicant
Student Handbook <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>672. Any inclusion on any registered sex offenderdatabase3. Any inclusion on any of the Federal exclusion listsor Homeland Security watch lists4. Any conviction of a felony regardless of how longago the conviction was5. Any arrest warrant issued by any state6. Any misdemeanor conviction for the followingregardless of how long ago the conviction was:A. Violent crimesB. Sex crime of any kind including non consensualsexual crimes and sexual assaultC. Murder, attempted murderD. AbductionE. AssaultF. RobberyG. ArsonH. ExtortionI. BurglaryJ. PanderingK. Any crime against minors, children, vulnerableadults including abuse, neglect, exploitationL. Any abuse or neglectM. Any fraudN. Illegal drugsO. Aggravated DUI8. Any misdemeanor relating to a controlledsubstance conviction in last 7 years9. Any other misdemeanor conviction within last 3years with the exception-any misdemeanor trafficmisdemeanor [NOTE that a DUI is NOT considereda traffic misdemeanor.]The information that MCCCD uses for the “pass/fail”background check is subject to change at any timewithout notice.MCCCD recommends that students carry proof of thebackground clearance at all times during any clinicalagency learning experience.Students Accepted in a Program beforeSeptember 1, 2011Students who are accepted in a program beforeSeptember 1, 2011 will generally need to meet therequirements of each program that existed before thatdate. It is not MCCCD’s intent to apply the standardseffective on September 1, 2011 to students acceptedin a program before that date. However, note thatMCCCD always reserves the right to change therequirements for these programs, even after a studentis accepted. Students should be aware of this right.Duty to Report Changes; RemovalStudents have an obligation to immediately reportto the director of their program any change in theinformation that they supplied on forms submittedto initiate background checks relating to the alliedhealth or nursing program. That includes informationprovided to the Arizona Department of Public Safetyand MCCCD’s supplemental background check vendor,as well as that related to the background checkrequired by a clinical agency. Failure to do so willresult in removal from the program. Additionally, anychange in background check status that would affectthe student’s clearance under either MCCCD’s or aclinical agency’s standards will result in removal from aprogram.Additional Clinical Agency Background CheckSome clinical agencies require that students assignedto their sites submit to a criminal background checkcovering other offenses, as well as to a drug screening.Students are required to pay for the additionalagency clinical background check. A clinical agencythat requires this additional background check mayrefuse to place a student due to information theclinical agency obtains in its background check eventhough that student possess a valid Level I FingerprintClearance Card and has obtained a “pass” status onthe MCCCD supplemental background check.Some conditions that have resulted in students beingdenied placement at clinical agencies include pendingcriminal charges, outstanding warrants, unfinishedterms of a sentence (such as unpaid fines), pattern ofrepeated types of arrests/convictions, and failure todisclose all past arrests/convictions when asked to doso on any background check application.Inability to PlaceMCCCD has no obligation to make repeated attemptsto place a student when the reason for MCCCD’sinability to place the student is due to backgroundcheck issues. Since clinical agency assignments aremandatory requirements for completion of a program,a student’s inability to complete required clinicalexperience due to his or her background check issueswill result in removal from the program.Changes to Admission or Background CheckRequirementsMCCCD may change its program admissionrequirements or background check requirementswithout notice at any time.No Guarantee of Receipt of Licensure/CertificateMany of the nursing and allied health programsprepare graduates for application for State orNational certificates or licenses. In some professions,such licensure and certification is required prior toemployment or practice in the profession. Graduationfrom a nursing and allied health program does notguarantee the receipt of a license or certificate topractice in the field of study.Consensual Relationships (A.R. 4.18)1. GeneralThe existing Governing Board Policy on Hiring ofRelatives prohibits employees from being involvedin any employment or key decision that involvesa relative. This would include work performance,job assignments, or pay related matters. In thatsuch relationships can create a conflict with theinterests of the Maricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s,and the increased potential for nepotism andfavoritism, the same principles also apply in
68 Student Handbook <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>the case of consensual amorous, romantic and/or sexual relationships that occur betweenemployees or between employees and students.In the work and <strong>academic</strong> environment, such arelationship that might be appropriate in othercircumstances is inappropriate if one of theindividuals in the relationship has a professionalresponsibility toward, or is in a position ofauthority with respect to, the other, such as inthe context of supervision, instruction, coaching,counseling or advisement. An element of power ispresent in such a context and it is incumbent uponthose with authority not to abuse that power. Inaddition, consensual relationships may yield tothird parties the appearance that unfair bias orfavoritism towards the student or supervisee istaking place.A. Definitionsi. Consensual relationships are definedas romantic, amorous and/or sexualrelationships between consentingemployees or between employeesand adult (18 years or older) collegestudents currently enrolled at one of thecommunity colleges.ii.An employee is any individual whois employed by the Maricopa County<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> District (MCCCD). Anemployee includes an individual who issubject to an established employee jobgroup policy manual, whether regular,full-time board approved, at-will, parttime,and/or temporary. An employeealso includes a contract worker (specialservices employment, request forpersonnel services) working or servingas an agent or designee on behalf of theMCCCD.iii. A student is considered to be any personcurrently enrolled in a credit or non-creditclass at one of the colleges or centerswithin the Maricopa County <strong>Community</strong><strong>College</strong> District.iv. A vendor is someone who sells or cansell products or services to the MaricopaCounty <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> District.v. A recent consensual relationship isconsidered to be one that has taken placewithin the past 24 months.B. Prohibited Conducti. An employee shall not maintain, engage inor be involved in a consensual relationshipwith another employee who is subjectto that individual’s supervision or with astudent that is currently enrolled in theindividual’s class, or a student whom theindividual otherwise instructs, coaches,counsels or advises, or with a vendorif the employee manages that contractor otherwise exerts influence over thecontract.ii. The Governing Board recognizes thatthe personal life of its employees is not aconcern of the institution, and therefore,this regulation does not seek to prohibitromantic relationships that exist betweenparties where the context of powerauthoritybetween employees or betweenemployees and students is not present;and provided that the relationship doesnot affect the employee’s effectiveness infulfilling his or her professional obligation.For these instances, appropriate measuresshould still be taken in order to avoidconflicts of interest from occurring. Forrelationships that may exist prior to thetime that either a student or employeeis placed in a situation of instructionor supervision that is considered to bea conflict of interest, the employee(s)involved shall disclose and take immediatemeasures to avoid the conflict orappearance of conflict.2. Procedures for DisclosureEmployees should first avoid allowing aninappropriate consensual, amorous or sexualrelationship to develop with a supervisee orstudent.A. Where the employee is already in or has had arecent consensual relationship with asupervisee, the following procedures shall befollowed:i. Immediate disclosure by the employee ofthe relationship to their supervisor andto the appropriate Vice President or ViceChancellor in order to ensure that anyconflicts of interest have been adequatelyii.addressed.The respective administrator responsiblefor the department or division shallplace the subordinate under alternatesupervision when a supervisor underhis/her direction has or has had arecent consensual relationship with theemployee.iii.

The Title IV programsthat are covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants,National SMART grants, TEACH Grants, StaffordLoans, PLUS Loans, Federal Supplemental EducationalOpportunity Grants (FSEOGs), and Federal PerkinsLoans.When you withdraw during your payment period orperiod of enrollment (you may contact the FinancialAid office to define these for you and tell you whichone applies) the amount of Title IV program assistancethat you have earned up to that point is determinedby a specific formula. If you received (or your schoolor parent received on your behalf) less assistancethan the amount that you earned, you may be able toreceive those additional funds. If you received moreassistance than you earned, the excess funds must bereturned by the school and/or you.The amount of assistance that you have earned isdetermined on a pro-rata basis. For example, if youcompleted 30% of your payment period or periodof enrollment, you earn 30% of the assistance youwere originally scheduled to receive. Once you havecompleted more than 60% of the payment period orperiod of enrollment, you earn all the assistance thatyou were scheduled to receive for that period.If you did not receive all of the funds that you earned,you may be due a post-withdrawal disbursement.If your post-withdrawal disbursement includes loanfunds, your school must get your permission beforeit can disburse them. You may choose to declinesome or all of the loan funds so that you don’t incuradditional debt. Your school may automatically useall or a portion of your post-withdrawal disbursementof grant funds for tuition, fees, and room and boardcharges (as contracted with the school). The schoolneeds your permission to use the post-withdrawalgrant disbursement for all other school charges. If youdo not give your permission, you will be offered thefunds. However, it may be in your best interest to allowthe school to keep the funds to reduce your debt atthe school.There are some Title IV funds that you were scheduledto receive that cannot be disbursed to you once youwithdraw because of other eligibility requirements.For example, if you are a first-time, first-yearundergraduate student and you have not completedthe first 30 days of your program before you withdraw,you will not receive any FFEL or Direct loan funds thatyou would have received had you remained enrolledpast the 30th day.If you receive (or your school or parent receives onyour behalf) excess Title IV program funds that mustbe returned, your school must return a portion of theexcess equal to the lesser of:1. your institutional charges multiplied by theunearned percentage of your funds, OR2. the entire amount of excess funds. The school mustreturn this amount even if it didn’t keep thisamount of your Title IV program funds.If your school is not required to return all of the excessfunds, you must return the remaining amount. Any loan
96 MCCCD Administrative Regulations <strong>2012</strong>-13funds that you must return, you (or your parent for aPLUS Loan) repay in accordance with the terms of thepromissory note. That is, you make scheduled paymentsto the holder of the loan over a period of time. Anyamount of unearned grant funds that you must returnis called an overpayment. The maximum amount of agrant overpayment that you must repay is half of thegrant funds you received or were scheduled to receive.You must make arrangements with your school or theDepartment of Education to return the unearned grantfunds.The requirements for Title IV program funds when youwithdraw are separate from any refund policy that yourschool may have. Therefore, you may still owe funds tothe school to cover unpaid institutional charges. Yourschool may also charge you for any Title IV programfunds that the school was required to return. You canview the tuition refund policy and requirements andprocedures for withdrawing from school at www.maricopa.edu/publicstewardship/governance/adminregs/students/2_2.phpVeterans Services (A.R. 2.9)The Maricopa <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s’ veterans’services offices act as liaisons with the Departmentof Veterans Affairs.

AGEC A requires a minimumof college mathematics or college algebra tosatisfy the Mathematics [MA] requirement.AGEC A Mathematics requirement is lessstringent than the AGEC B and AGEC S.AGEC A and AGEC B Natural Sciencesrequirements are less stringent than AGEC S.2. The AGEC B is designed to satisfyrequirements in business majors that articulatewith the Associate in Business. AGEC Brequires a minimum of brief calculus to satisfythe Mathematics [MA] requirement.3. The AGEC S is designed to satisfyrequirements in majors with more prescriptivemathematics and mathematics-based sciencerequirements. AGEC S articulates with theAssociate in Science. AGEC S requires aminimum of the first course in a calculussequence to satisfy the Mathematics [MA]requirement, and a minimum of eight creditsof either university chemistry, universityphysics or general biology to satisfy theNatural Sciences [SQ/SG] requirement. Inaddition, students must select six to eightadditional credits of math and/or scienceappropriate to the major.Academic Policies that Govern the AGEC A, B, S:• Requires 35-38 semester credits in coursesnumbered 100 and above to be completed with agrade of “C” or better.

Awareness Areas:Students must satisfy two Awareness areas:Cultural Diversity in United States [C] andeither Global Awareness [G] or HistoricalAwareness [H]. However, it is not necessary forstudents to exceed thirty-five to thirty-eightsemester credits to complete any of the threeMCCCD AGECs because courses can satisfy aCore area and one or two Awareness areassimultaneously. Therefore, no additional semestercredits are required to satisfy the two Awarenessareas.1. Cultural Diversity in the United States [C]AND2. Global Awareness [G]OR3. Historical Awareness [H]AGEC Area Requirements Descriptions/DefinitionsCORE AREASFirst-Year Composition (FYC)Courses must be completed with a grade of “C” orbetter in the First-Year Composition Core area. Coursesmust emphasize skills necessary for college-levellearning and writing skills.Literacy and Critical Inquiry [L]Courses must be completed with a grade of “C” orbetter in the Literacy and Critical Inquiry Core area.In the [L] course, typically at the sophomore level,students gather, interpret, and evaluate evidence andexpress their findings in writing or speech. This courseincludes a series of graded written or spoken formalassignments.For AGEC S, students will select a course that satisfiesboth Literacy and Social & Behavioral Sciences orLiteracy and Humanities and Fine Arts requirementssimultaneously.Literacy is defined broadly as communicativecompetence in written and oral discourse; criticalinquiry is defined as the gathering, interpreting, andevaluating of evidence. Building on the proficiencyattained in traditional First-Year Composition courses,the Literacy and Critical Inquiry requirement helpsstudents sustain and extend their ability to reasoncritically and communicate clearly through language.Mathematical StudiesCourses must be completed with a grade of “C” orbetter in the Mathematical Studies Core Area. Onecourse must be selected from Mathematics [MA].In AGEC A and AGEC B, a second course must beselected from Computer/Statistics/QuantitativeApplications [CS].The Mathematical Studies requirement is intended toensure that students have skill in basic mathematics,can use mathematical analysis in their chosen fields,and can understand how computers makemathematical analysis more powerful and efficient.First, the acquisition of essential skill in basicmathematics requires the student to complete a coursein college algebra or to demonstrate a higher level ofskill by completing a course for which college algebrais a prerequisite.Second, the real-world application of mathematicalreasoning requires the student to take a course instatistics or the use of quantitative analysis to solveproblems of substance.Third, the use of the computer to assist in seriousanalytical work is required. Computers are widely usedto study the implications of social decisions or tomodel physical systems.Mathematics [MA] AGEC AThe AGEC A Mathematics Core area requires acourse in college mathematics, college algebra,pre-calculus, or any other mathematics course forwhich college algebra is a prerequisite.Mathematics [MA] AGEC BThe AGEC B Mathematics Core area requires acourse in Brief Calculus or a higher levelmathematics course.Mathematics [MA] AGEC SThe AGEC S Mathematics Core area requires thefirst course in the calculus sequence or anymathematics course for which that course is aprerequisite.

The Humanities and Fine ArtsCore area enables students to broaden and deepentheir consideration of basic human values and theirinterpretation of the experiences of human beings.The humanities are concerned with questions of humanexistence and the universality of human life, questionsof meaning and the nature of thinking and knowing,and questions of moral, aesthetic, and other humanvalues. The humanities investigate these questions inboth the present and the past and make use ofphilosophy, foreign languages, linguistics andcommunications studies, religious studies, literature,and fine arts.The fine arts constitute the artist’s creative deliberationabout reality, meaning, knowledge, and values.Social and Behavioral Sciences [SB]Courses must be completed with a grade of “C” orbetter in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Core area.Students are encouraged to choose course work frommore than one discipline.The Social and Behavioral Sciences Core area providesscientific methods of inquiry and empirical knowledgeabout human behavior, both within society and withinindividuals. The forms of study may be cultural,economic, geographic, historical, linguistic, political,psychological, or social. The courses in this areaaddress the challenge of understanding the diversenatures of individuals and cultural groups who livetogether in a world of diminishing economic, linguistic,military, political, and social distance.Natural Sciences [SQ/SG]Courses must be completed with a grade of “C” orbetter in the Natural Sciences Core area.Courses in the Natural Sciences Core area help thestudent to develop an appreciation of the scopeand limitations of scientific capability to contributeto the quality of society. This Core area emphasizesknowledge of methods of scientific inquiry andmastery of basic scientific principles and concepts,in particular those that relate to matter and energy inliving and non-living systems. Firsthand exposure toscientific phenomena in the laboratory is importantin developing and understanding the concepts,principles, and vocabulary of science. At least one ofthe two laboratory courses required in the NaturalSciences Core area must include an introduction to thefundamental behavior of matter and energy in physicalor biological systems.Natural Sciences [SQ] A & BThe AGEC A and B Natural Sciences Core arearequires one laboratory course in naturalsciences that includes a substantialintroduction to the fundamental behavior ofmatter and energy in physical or biologicalsystems.Natural Sciences [SG] A & BThe AGEC A and B Natural Sciences Core arearequires a second laboratory course in the naturalsciences, for example, from anthropology,astronomy, biology, chemistry, experimentalpsychology, geology, microbiology, physicalanthropology, physical geography, physics, plantbiologyNatural Sciences SThe AGEC S Natural Sciences Core area requireseight semester credits of either university chemistryor eight semester credits of university physicsor eight semester credits of general biologyappropriate to the major.SQ = Natural Science-QuantitativeSG = Natural Science-GeneralSubject Options (for AGEC S)Courses in the Subject Options area help the student tobe prepared for specific majors in science.Students completing AGEC S, through careful selectionof courses that meet the other major or prerequisiterequirements for Science degree, will meet thisrequirement. Using a transfer guide, courses would beselected from Mathematics courses above Calculus,and/or Science courses from: Astronomy, Biology,Botany, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology,Physical Geography, Physics, Zoology.Awareness AreasStudents must satisfy two Awareness areas: CulturalDiversity in U.S. and either Global Awareness orHistorical Awareness. Courses can satisfy a Core areaand one or two Awareness areas simultaneously.Therefore, no additional semester credits are requiredto satisfy the two Awareness areas.Cultural Diversity in the United States [C]The contemporary “culture” of the United Statesinvolves the complex interplay of many differentcultures that exist side by side in various statesof harmony and conflict. U.S. history involvesthe experiences not only of different groups ofEuropean immigrants and their descendants,but also of diverse groups of American Indians,Hispanic Americans, African Americans and AsianAmericans—all of whom played significant rolesin the development of contemporary culture andtogether shape the future of the United States.+ Indicates course has prerequisites and/or co-requisites ++ Indicates any module/suffixed courses
Degrees and Certificates <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>109At the same time, the recognition that gender,class, and religious differences cut across alldistinctions of race and ethnicity offers an evenricher variety of perspectives from which to viewone. Awareness of cultural diversity and its multiplesources can illuminate the collective past, present,and future and can help to foster greater mutualunderstanding and respect.The objective of the Cultural Diversity arearequirement is to promote awareness of andappreciation for cultural diversity within thecontemporary United States. This is accomplishedthrough the study of the cultural, social, or scientificcontributions of women and minority groups,examination of their experiences in the UnitedStates, or exploration of successful or unsuccessfulinteractions between and among cultural groups.Global Awareness [G]Human organizations and relationships haveevolved from being family and village centeredto the modern global interdependence thatis apparent in many disciplines—for example,contemporary art, business, engineering, music,and the natural and social sciences. Many seriouslocal and national problems are world issues thatrequire solutions which exhibit mutuality andreciprocity. These problems occur in a wide varietyof activities, such as food supply, ecology, healthcare delivery, language planning, informationexchange, economic and social developments, law,technology transfer, and even philosophy and thearts. The Global Awareness Area recognizes theneed for an understanding of the values, elements,and social processes of cultures other than theculture of the United States. The Global AwarenessArea includes courses that recognize the nature ofother contemporary cultures and the relationshipof the American cultural system to generic humangoals and welfare.Historical Awareness [H]The Historical Awareness Area option in therequirements aims to develop a knowledge of thepast that can be useful in shaping the present andfuture. Because historical forces and traditionshave created modern life and lie just beneathits surface, historical awareness is an aid in theanalysis of present-day problems. Also, becausethe historical past is a source of social and nationalidentity, historical study can produce interculturalunderstanding by tracing cultural differencesto their origins. Even the remote past may haveinstructive analogies for the present.The Historical Awareness Area consists of coursesthat are historical in method and content. In thisarea, the term “history” designates a sequence ofpast events or a narrative whose intent or effect isto represent such a sequence.The requirement presumes that these are humanevents and that history includes all that has beenfelt, thought, imagined, said, and done by humanbeings. History is present in the languages, art,music, literature, philosophy, religion, and thenatural sciences, as well as in the social sciencetraditionally called history.Courses that satisfy the global awareness optionin the requirements are of one or more of thefollowing types:1. Area studies that are concerned with anexamination of culture-specific elements ofa region of the world;2. The study of a non-English language;3. Studies of international relationships,particularly those in which cultural changeis facilitated by such factors as social andeconomic development, education, andthe transfer of technology; and4. Studies of cultural interrelationships ofglobal scope such as the globalinterdependence produced by problemsof world ecology.+ Indicates course has prerequisites and/or co-requisites ++ Indicates any module/suffixed courses
